U.S. RedNote user shares views on Chinese social welfare

With deepening cultural exchanges between Chinese and American netizens on the Chinese social media app RedNote, discussions on differences in housing, work, education and healthcare have become a public focus. In this video, an American RedNote user shares her thoughts on how difficult it is for many in the United States to truly get to know China. Through increased communication with Chinese users on social media, she has gained a direct window into the daily lives of Chinese people, an experience that has greatly surprised her.

She observes that in China, a significant portion of tax revenue benefits the people. In contrast, road construction projects in her hometown often take years to complete, sometimes remaining unfinished despite taxpayers' contributions. Such a phenomenon makes the American people feel that paying taxes can't guarantee their basic living necessities, thus casting doubt on the capitalist system.

Through her engagement with Chinese social platforms, her most profound realization has been witnessing the happiness and vibrancy of the Chinese people. She notes their enthusiasm for music and art, their willingness to share their lives, and the sense of tranquility and happiness that have given her unprecedented hope for humanity. She is now actively learning Chinese and eagerly looking forward to learning as much as possible about the real China.
