    Is serpentza (the guy on the left of the third image) credible? I used to watch the guy but he seems to be radically anti-PRC, to an extent that I really felt like I’m watching some crude American propaganda.

      I found the channel ADV China some time ago and as a Westerner it felt very approachable. Two guys riding bikes around China, explaining and exploring things. I didn’t get the anti-PRC vibe, but maybe I completely missed it - whoosh over my head.

      Can you recommend any other series that might be worth watching?

        I don’t trust anyone with black and white worldview, I understand that China has it’s severe problems and that everything that gets out of it is heavily curated by the party. In a way I’m even scared of the Chinese world hegemony that I believe may soon come.

        That being said, his perception is always radically negative to an extent that he attempted to disgrace the Chinese people multiple times by painting them as extreme racists and xenophobes.

        I’m interested in what China really is and I doubt he’s a good source of insight.
