Today I’m exploring one of China’s most rural villages, the Tianlong Tunpu Ancient Town 🇨🇳 This place is incredible! Most the house in this town are built out of stone and have stood here for over 600 years 🤯 I’ve travelled to many cities in China, but it’s always amazing to get out outside of the major cities and experience the countryside life 🏔️ Feel like I’ve travelled back in time, watching these elderly men enjoy a smoke on the side of the river

I’ve spent a week traveling throughout China’s countryside working on multiple projects and experiencing the high quality of life now available to everyone in China 🇨🇳 This is what happens when a country prioritizes investing in the people and future generations as apposed to starting new wars across the globe 🌎 Pictured here is Guiyang Train Station, where a ticket on high speed rail cost me 213rmb (around $31 USD) to travel 480 kilometers in comfort to my next city. Never been easier or more convenient to travel throughout China 😃

My government won’t allow me to buy a BYD car in the United States, so I came to Baku, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 and BYD Global cars are everywhere! They’ve completely changed the entire auto industry here in Baku. Despite being a country with incredible amounts of oil and cheap gas, Chinese EVs are everywhere and the price for an entry model BYD car here? Only $14,000 USD! Love to see Chinese innovation making people’s lives better #BYD #Azerbaijan

Live from Guizhou! Just drove over the Hua Jiang Grand Canyon Bridge, the world’s tallest bridge and this modern marvel is incredible! 🌉 It’s over 2,000 feet above the river down below and reduced a 2 hour drive down to 2 minutes. This bridge was built in only 3.5 years, on time and on budget 🇨🇳 I’m able to send this tweet as Huawei provides 5G network across China. Get ready will be sharing a full length YouTube video from my visit soon! 😃

This is why “decoupling with China” is a complete myth. I’m here in Las Vegas attending CES the world’s largest tech show and was invited to join a Chinese Tech cocktail party this evening. Some of the brightest minds and entrepreneurs from China are in this room, including the founder of DJI There is ZERO chance the US could ever decouple from China. 1/3 of the companies in attendance at CES are from 🇨🇳 Mandarin is spoken all over the convention floor and every Chinese entrepreneur I speak is optimistic about the future and not worried at all about a Trump presidency. Remove yourself from the media who spreads lies and fear. Come to the trade shows and learn about how the real world works!

I feel in love with this tower the first moment I saw it in 2007! 🌅 The Oriental Pear TV Tower has constructed in Shanghai in the early 90s as a symbol that Shanghai would become a key economic hub of the new Chinese economy 🇨🇳 Nearly 35 years later it’s still one of the most iconic buildings in the world and it’s always amazing to be back in Shanghai, a city I was blessed to call home for 7 years 😃

Americans are in shock at China's development and literally can't fathom how China built a rival to OpenAi in less than 2 months with a budget of $6 million dollars 👇

The average American would be in shock if they found out China’s government doesn’t waste billions of dollars on useless wars, but instead spend billions on building the world’s best infrastructure to improve the quality of life for all citizens. Haters are going to hate and call it “propaganda” but unless you come to China and experience it yourself, you simply can’t understand how much the quality of life has improved the past 20 years

One of the biggest takeaways from Davos? Trump's declining health Listen to this speech. Trump doesn't sound well. He is aging fast, failing to make coherent decisions, and rambling worse than Joe Biden did at his old age. I don't think Trump makes it to the end of his second term as President. I believe he will either be impeached or be forced to step down for health reasons. This is not a healthy man who can lead the USA 👇

US Politicians now moving to ban DJI drones from the US market for “national security threats” 🤯 DJI is the #1 drone manufacturer in the world 🌎 but sadly politics could potentially ban any future drones from being imported and possibly grounding current drones inside the 🇺🇸 You can’t make up how ridiculous US politicians have become against China. These drones of course have zero threat to national security. We are NOT talking military drones here, but instead civilian level drones used for photography/videography 🎥 The US moves against China has become so irrational and petty. Just look at the name of the bill: “Countering CCP Drones Act” what an absolutely ridiculous name for a bill, it shows this is nothing more than a political stunt with once again the biggest losers of this bill being the average American consumer 🤦🏻‍♂️ As George Carlin once said: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups". Perfectly sums up the actions of the US Congress Full Article👇

I’m exploring one of the largest Chinese milk powder factories in the world today 🏭 but incredibly it isn’t located in China! This is in Kingston, Ontario! 🇨🇦 Just a few years ago Canada suffered a massive baby formula shortage. Prices of formula skyrocketed up 30% as store shelves were empty. But Feihe, the leading Chinese baby formula brand from Beijing invested $380 million dollars to build the largest dairy factory in North America! This story is wild and I’m filming a video about it for my YouTube channel. Absolutely love to see these win-win solutions between two great countries 🇨🇦 🇨🇳 This should be a wake up call to Trump as he continues to sanction and tariff the world! We need more trade and learning to work together

I’ve been traveling through China with my family the past 3.5 weeks and the more time I spend here the more I realize one important fact 👇 Chinese people want the same things in life as every other culture in the world. Good job, safe country, children, opportunities for those children, quality of life that continues to improve. I’ve been coming to China for the past 18 years and can see why Chinese people have an overwhelming positive view of their government but more importantly their country. My family and I came to play tennis this afternoon and found the world class sport facility on a rooftop of a downtown office building. 8 outdoor tennis courts, 6 pickleball courts, 4 indoor tennis courts and over 15 coaches. This is just one example of a plethora of changes across China the past two decades. Better infrastructure, clean streets, less crime, better education, the list goes on and on Sport is growing fast in China, people are prioritizing their health and this society is moving forward. It’s incredible to spend our summer holiday here and experience it first hand

This is how the 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 relationship will improve…people to people diplomacy👇 This afternoon I took my kids to play badminton, a sport we do together as a family 3x a week here in China. Two young Chinese boys approached my twins and wanted to play against them. They were fascinated to play against two young Americans. The four of them battled for almost an hour, spoke a mix of both English and Chinese, and at the end all 4 young boys were so happy they got to play with each other. New friendships made, new cultures learned, but most importantly an experience all 4 boys will remember. This was probably the first time these local boys got to play against American kids, and it was the first time my boys got to test their skills against local Chinese boys. This is why we come back to China every summer. Explore the country, teach our kids Chinese, appreciate my wife’s hometown here in Guangzhou. Life is beautiful when you just focus on people and being kind to others. Chinese people are amazing, this country is amazing and I will never stop trying to share China’s story with the world 🌍

Show these videos to most Westerners and they could never believe this exists in China 🤯 China has some of the best restaurants in the world. International and local chefs are constantly coming up with new concepts, unique menus, and creative decorations 🥘 While China’s economy isn’t as strong as before, deflation has kept food prices down and every night in the city I go out and see restaurants filled with people 🍲 Most people think China is cut off from the outside world. Instead when you visit China you’ll see China is learning and becoming more modern and international 🌎 There are now more high end coffee shops in Shanghai than NYC and London combined. Bakeries filled with artisan breads and pastries are all over China now showing foreign tastes have been developed on mass scale in China ☕️ China is opening up. Dozens of EU countries can now travel to China visa free. Yesterday New Zealand was added to the list. Foreigner visits to China is up 305% in Q1 2024, when measures from the same period last year ✈️ More foreigners are coming to China and it’s a great thing. The world needs to learn more about China. This country is simply amazing and truly changing the future of the world 🇨🇳 Come here to see a nation who is embracing their commitments to producing clean energy. It’s simply incredible how much of the auto industry is now dominated by EVs 🚗 Visiting China is taking a step in the future. Such an absolute pleasure to be back in the country for an extended stay 😃

Took my family to Hong Kong Disneyland today! This is the BEST Disney park to visit for families and here are 5 reason why 👇 First off, I'm an Orlando, Florida native. I grew up going to Disney World as a kid and while Orlando is great, the size of Disney World and crowds are too much. It isn't an enjoyable experience anymore. Here is what makes HK Disney so special: 1. More Affordable - Ticket prices are roughly 40% cheaper than the cost in the USA 💵 2. Smaller Park - Hong Kong Disney is the smallest of all Disney Parks, easier to get around and see what you need to see in a day! 3. Less People - Located on Lantau Island in HK, this Disney is a bit far from downtown HK and really never gets too crowded (compared to the insanity of USA parks). 4. Better Food - Fresh Dim Sum, some of the nice buffets you will find in Hong Kong, this Disney has a lot more tasty and healthier options than it's American counterparts 5. Cultural Experience - It's fun listening to Mickey Mouse speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Disney does a great job combining classic Disney stories and Chinese culture.
