I do believe the UK will be batter off without you. You obviously have the intelligence of a subnormal carrot and your knowledge of the World seems to reside around to confines of your toilet which has dislocated your brain. If you have never been to China, I would suggest you go.

You're an ignorant moron. Way to completely overlook the real point, especially about the UK: we have no constitutional freedom of speech, unlike America. Not that we still don't have more than China, but it's an interesting (and a little frightening) thing to know about UK law.
The years of culture thing is just totally irrelevant. Kill yourself.

Strange, neither I nor anyone I know has ever had any issues access YouTube while in China and I spend 6 months each year there.

Wow, beautiful generalisations going on here. With regards to freedom of speech; for a start, you and I have unlimited access to YouTube whilst those in China do not.

"Freedom of Speech" Do we really have that Freedom in either the UK or USA?
America was finished the day it elected Bush, or should I say, they day Bishs tiole the election.
I have been going to China for 5 years every month, and it never ceases to amaze me,the People, The Culture in fact all.
China has a History of over 5,000 years The USA a measley 250. Of course the USA can learn from China and many other Asian countries. Respect for Others, Politeness and a willingness to learn.

Agree. In fact I think it's rather ignorant and rude

I don't think I can really take anyone seriously who says "the East" as though China and Japan similar in any way. China and Japan are more culturally dissimilar than China and any European country.

I normally just call myself Eurasian or mixed race - I think it would be weird to call myself one nationality/race or the other!

Aww you're lucky, I'm 1/4 English, 1/4 German and 1/2 Taiwanese, and they speak Mandarin in Taipei but I can't understand a lot of it :(! I can't understand much Hokkien (Taiwanese native tongue) either!

Great video, superb analysis of East verses West sociology and philosophy, but then the commentator is Dutch and they are a very liberal society.
