china is living in the future - and it's all banned in america.

中国仿佛置身未来世界，可这些前沿科技在美国却大多遭到限制。

I visited the most advanced tech megacity in China, Shenzhen - to see the tech products & brands that aren't available in north america, as well as visited some of the most incredible tech malls

我走访了中国科技最发达的超大城市深圳，见识了众多在北美市场无法买到的科技产品与本土品牌，还逛了几家规模宏大、令人惊叹的数码商城。

以下是各国网友的评论：

So China is basically living in the Y2K futurism aesthetic we were promised as kids but never got? Time to go visit

这么说来，中国真的过上了我们小时候幻想的千禧年未来风格生活，而我们当年期盼的未来在自己这边根本没实现？我得找机会去一趟。

America be like "walkable cities? Bullet trains? Third spaces? Electric cars? No no no, ExxonMobil would NEVER be able to profit off of that! Strip malls, drive thru chains, and sprawl for everyone! No exceptions!"

美国的现状就是：步行友好的城区？高铁？公共休闲空间？电动汽车？一概不搞。埃克森美孚石油根本没法靠这些盈利。所有人只能接受沿街大卖场、汽车速食连锁店，城市无序向外扩张，没有任何例外。

America is the only country so rich with highest gold reserves and expensive living standards while also their citizens pay 500$ for a fucking inhaler without insurance.

美国坐拥全球最多黄金储备，经济体量庞大、物价居高不下，却离谱到没有医保的普通人要花500美元买一支哮喘吸入剂。

Dude, China advancement in the past 50 years is unprecedented. Crazy!

哥们，中国过去50年的发展速度前所未有，太震撼了。

The future has been cancelled in America.

在美国，属于大众的未来发展仿佛被按下了终止键。

I am Malaysian who frequent SZ..
SZ GOT 1320 parks!! Absolute beautiful and clean parks! YES, 1320! One thoousand three hundred and twenty parks!

我是马来西亚人，经常往返深圳。深圳足足有1320座公园，每一座都漂亮又干净。没错，整整一千三百二十个公园。

 

syarizansulaiman6554
i been to Shenzhen early February, is 30 years ahead from my country

我二月初去过深圳，它的发展程度比我所在的国家超前整整三十年。

 

happydude911
They're not living in the future.
They are living in the present when a government embraces science and technology and not making the citizens focus on trans bathrooms to distract them from their fleecing and corruption.

他们并不是活在未来，只是政府实实在在大力发展科技。不会拿跨性别洗手间这类话题转移民众注意力，掩盖自身的压榨与腐败问题。

 

freemagicfun
China is living in the present. The Western world is clinging to the past. They are scared of actual competition. The new American motto: "If you can't beat 'em, ban 'em."

中国立足当下稳步向前，西方国家却死守旧模式不肯变通。他们畏惧公平竞争，美国现在的行事准则就是：竞争不过，就直接封禁打压。

 

IVDANAS
The USA is entering its own Middle Ages: obscurantism, denial os science and religious fanaticism

美国正在滑入自己的“中世纪”：思想闭塞蒙昧、否定科学、宗教狂热泛滥。

 

tenchichrono
When China was just copying, not innovative, and churned out cheap trash, the US/West loved them. Now that China has caught up or surpassed US/Western products they're a economic and national security threat and everything they do that exceeds them is a straight ban. Free market economy here boys.

早年中国只会模仿、缺少原创，大批量生产廉价低端产品时，美国和西方十分乐意接纳。如今中国产品追上甚至反超西方，就被贴上经济威胁、国家安全威胁的标签，但凡技术领先就直接遭到封杀。这就是他们口中标榜的自由市场经济。

 

W4ngy0ng
It's not even that they turned our cheap trash, Western markets ONLY purchased cheap crap because they knew their citizens would buy it at an upmarked price China has been making cheap stuff AND high quality stuff for years, that isn't what changed!

其实根本不是中国只会做廉价次品。当年西方只采购低价货品，是为了转手加价卖给本国消费者牟利。这么多年中国一直同时生产平价商品和高端精品，这点从来没变过。

 

weasel6660
In Huaqiangbei, you can easily find shops that repair phones, iPads and laptops at a very reasonable cost. They are super efficient as well!

在华强北，能轻松找到维修手机、平板、笔记本电脑的店铺，收费公道，维修效率还特别高。

its like a different world

简直像置身另一个世界。

 

satpolpp1
The west : but something something privacy something something

西方只会反复拿所谓隐私问题说事。

 

braneded1773
We don't even have that anymore with all this chat control this age verification that

西方搞大量聊天内容管控、年龄核验，所谓隐私早就名存实亡了。

Seems like I need to visit China

看来我得去一趟中国亲眼看看。

 

ngknm_14
Guys, this is FREAKING WILD! I knew China is in a Cyberpunk already but this is insane. Germany looks like a village compared to China now.

大伙，这也太夸张了！我早就知道中国充满赛博朋克氛围感，但亲眼所见还是被震撼到。和中国一比，德国看着就像小村镇。

 

ngknm_14
@chrischou9068 Of course, I understand what you mean but now you can find a huge gap between the largest well known cities and small towns/villages in many countries. In case with China the gap in development just goes on a completely different level that's why it's so prominent.
My point was that what we can see as the best, the most advanced and modern examples of cities development is mind blowing. That's a very very high bar. And that's why it's Cyberpunk. The scale, the looks, the tech behind. And the other top 20 or 50 wealthiest and most developed countries in the world don't come even close to that level.
So it's not like I'm overlooking the way how the rural or not so well known China looks. I'm really impressed by what can be achieved.
Peace!

我明白你的意思，很多国家的一线大城市和偏远乡镇都存在巨大发展差距，中国的城乡落差体量更大，所以格外显眼。

我想说的是，这些顶尖城市的现代化建设成果令人叹为观止，标准拉得极高，宏大的规模、炫酷的外观、硬核的科技支撑，满满的赛博朋克质感。全球前二三十个发达国家的核心城区都达不到这个水准。

我并没有无视中国乡村的面貌，只是由衷赞叹这份发展成就。友好交流。

 

petermavrenski6602
China has many villages, you just need to open your eyes and walk a few blocks lol I am still waiting for real 5g.

中国确实有很多乡村，多走几步路就能看到。顺带一提，我还在等真正成熟落地的5G全面普及。

 

andrewsuryali8540
Shenzhen is actually a total disappointment for cyberpunk. It's way too clean and safe. In a cyberpunk setting, Shenzhen is basically where all the evil corpo elites would be living and where the protagonists would go show up and brrrrrrttt!!! their way through around chapter 12

从赛博朋克设定来讲，深圳反而不够那味儿，城市太整洁、治安太安稳了。按照赛博朋克的剧本，这里更像是资本寡头的高端居住区，主角一般要到故事后半段才会闯进来展开剧情。

 

predragmandusic
China for real living in a future.

中国真真切切活在了未来图景里。

 

OverRevy
China is far from perfect, but if you look at the current state of the rest of the world rn.
They kinda doing good.

中国当然也有不足之处，但放眼当下全球整体环境，它已经做得相当出色了。

 

CHKDG8
This is just the tip of the iceberg, too. We are so far behind in the U.S. that, no matter how you vote, we're not coming anywhere close to what you're seeing coming out of China. They're surpassing us in almost every aspect of life. The only thing they're missing is homegrown semiconductor production, which they're already working on. Once they reach parity with the U.S., it's over.

这还只是冰山一角。美国已经落后太多，无论怎么投票选举，都追不上中国当下的发展步伐。日常生活几乎各个领域都被对方赶超，唯一短板是自研半导体产业链，而他们也已经在全力攻坚。一旦半导体技术和美国持平，局势就彻底扭转了。

 

RaytheonNublinski
The haters will say China has poor people so this doesn’t count. Even though much of America is also poor, but they somehow don’t think that should count against us. People hate on China because they were told to hate on China. And they were told to because America is a failing country and the people in charge of it are trying to convince us that it’s not. But we are failing and falling behind bigly, let me tell you. It’s yuge, the failing. Many people don’t know that.

很多抹黑的人会拿中国存在贫困人口说事，否定全部发展成果。可美国同样有大量底层贫困群体，他们却视而不见。大众被灌输要敌视中国，本质是因为美国整体实力在衰退，掌权者拼命掩盖衰败的事实。说实话，我们的落后程度远超多数人的认知。

 

ShadowRealmSteve
Easy to see why the USA is so threatened and falling behind China in terms of technology in so many ways. Very interesting video and good job with the presentation and B roll of all the beautiful architecture. I hope to visit myself one day.

不难理解美国为何在诸多科技领域被中国赶超、倍感忌惮。这条视频内容很棒，城市建筑的拍摄画面精美，希望以后我也能亲自去一趟。

US needs blue lights to indicate self driving engaged too

美国也该学学，用蓝色指示灯标识车辆处于自动驾驶状态。

 

janusli8820
But China are banning these cyan lights for now because legally speaking China doesn't allow autonomous driving and all the cars on the roads are just driving assistance

不过中国目前叫停了这种青蓝色指示灯，因为法律层面尚不允许完全自动驾驶，上路车辆仅搭载辅助驾驶功能。

Most Western countries can't even resolve basic public safety issues, let alone anything else.

多数西方国家连基础的社会治安问题都难以妥善解决，更别提其他发展建设了。

God i wanna live in that city, like genuinely live.

天呐，我真想定居在这座城市长期生活。

In North America you get human killing data centers, flock cameras, and a new Middle East war

北美这边只有耗能巨大的大型数据中心、漫天监控摄像头，外加中东地区没完没了的战事。

 

slowanddeliberate6893
China has had cameras for a long time already.

中国部署公共摄像头很多年了。

lambolj
@slowanddeliberate6893 they also got high speed rail and no wars

但中国还有完善的高铁网络，国内和平稳定，没有战乱。

Everything looks so clean

深圳整个城市环境一尘不染。

Huawei has some of the coolest stuff that I can't have

华为有超多酷炫的产品，我们这边根本买不到。

Will travel to shenzhen in September already hyped up

我九月份就要去深圳了，现在满心期待。

 

LuminNeos
As someone born in Shenzhen and later grew up near Toronto, I'm glad a fellow Canadian like you enjoyed visiting my hometown so much. It truly is a paragon of China's insane progress in technology, economy, and humanitarian efforts in the past 3-4 decades, and I'm immensely proud of that. I still go back several times a year and it surprises me in pleasant ways every single time. Hope you'll visit again soon and explore some of the other amazing places in China, you won't be disappointed! :)

我土生土长在深圳，后来在多伦多周边长大，很高兴你这位加拿大同胞这么喜欢我的家乡。过去三四十年，深圳堪称中国科技、经济、民生飞速发展的典范，我特别自豪。我每年都会回去好几次，每次都能发现全新的惊喜。期待你再次来华，打卡更多中国美景，绝对不会失望。

 

Han-m7b6k
If you go to one of the richest regions in America, it's no different from what you see in this video. China is a huge country where wealth gap is so big and only privileged can be successful. The only reason you can see many rich people in china is because of population. Go see other regions in china.

美国最富庶的区域，建设水平和视频里差别不大。中国国土辽阔，贫富差距悬殊，只有少数群体享有优质资源，之所以看起来富人多，纯粹是人口基数大而已，可以去看看中国其他偏远地区。

 

dimkodamko
I just love how people somehow think it really is that better in western world than in China. Yes, they don't seem to care abt things we do, but you cannot say they aren't technologically superior to us.

总有人盲目觉得西方整体优于中国，其实抛开不同的发展侧重点不谈，不得不承认中国在很多科技领域已经领先我们了。

 

vafon3453
Crazy to think that few decades ago, one of the most prosperous city at the time, Hong Kong was right next to it, and now ShenZhen is almost surpassing HK.

几十年前中国香港还是珠三角最繁华的城市，旁边是当时还不起眼的深圳，如今深圳的发展规模几乎快要赶超香港，想想太感慨了。

 

xerejuneseve6333
They are not limited by stupid regulations like the EU, progress can continue.

他们不用受欧盟各种繁琐死板的法规束缚，发展阻力更小。

Not banned in America, banned in USA. Allowed in South America, central America, most of North America

这些产品不是整个美洲都禁售，只在美国本土受限，南美、中美洲以及北美其他地区都是正常售卖的。

 

jackins2000
I'm afraid of paradises like these shop districts, because I woudn't come home for a month, and I don't have time for it. Gotta work.

这种数码购物天堂太让人上头了，我怕一逛就是整整一个月不回家，可惜还要上班，没这个空闲。

 

interiorsretailfacts
The telepromter function in this glasses would be so helpful for social contents. China is truly the first world in 2026 and living in 2099!

这款智能眼镜的提词功能对自媒体博主太实用了。2026年的中国，直接活出了2099年的未来水准。

“It’s a really big drone that can carry people inside” so a helicopter. they’re building helicopters.

所谓载人大型飞行器说白了就是直升机，说白了就是在研发新式直升机罢了。

 

Mystic_Mana
Reading some of these comments you just have to wonder, is it that some Americans are completely brainwashed or they just don’t want to accept that China is ahead of US in terms of consumer tech

翻看评论不禁疑惑，一部分美国人是被彻底洗脑了，还是单纯不愿意承认中国在消费电子领域已经超越美国。

 

b3naqua
comparing all that futuristic stuff to the endless sad farty decaying strip mall landscape of the US gives me the ick

一边是充满未来感的城市科技，一边是美国遍地老旧萧条的沿街商铺，对比看着太落差了。

 

illnoct
They're so far in the future that they rank 78th globally on the Human Development Index!

都领先到未来了，人类发展指数全球才排第78名呢

 

drzhanga
yea according to these made-up ranks by the same bunch of people, China Airforce ranks AFTER India at Number 8, despite China's export model of the shittiest fighter jet shooting down 6 of India's jets, including Europe's best fighter jets newly purchased by India.
What kind of idiots trust these ranks? lmao

这套排名本身就是同一批人主观编造的，之前榜单里中国空军战力还排在印度后面位列第八。可中国外销的低配版战机都击落过印度六架战机，其中还包含印度刚采购的欧洲顶级战机。居然有人信这种排名，太可笑了。

US of A is a joke that it is still thinking that it is the greatest country in the world.

美国还自诩全球第一，实在有点滑稽。

I am a Canadian expat living just an hour's drive west of Shenzhen which is a city of 18 million people. With about 450 subway stations, one could pretty much get to anywhere in this city without any trouble. My plan is to bring my folding bike with me so I could explore the really nice parks via the bike lane systems throughout the City

我是加拿大旅居者，住在深圳往西一小时车程的地方。这座1800万人口的城市拥有近450个地铁站，市内出行四通八达。我打算带上折叠自行车，沿着全城完善的非机动车道逛遍各个绝美公园。

 

undulatingseaoflife
Hey what's it like living in China as an expat? Do you have language issues? Any crazy cultural differences that effect your everyday life? What does your day-to-day look like?

想问下外国人在中国旅居体验怎么样？会不会有语言障碍？有没有难以适应的文化差异影响日常生活？平常一天大概怎么度过？
