hello everyone and welcome to the newest episode of Google autofill yes Google autofill it's a
series that I've been doing for quite a while it's been a long time since I've actually made
one of these videos but yeah today's episode is why our Chinese so if you didn't know Google
autofill is this thing that happens type in a search query into Google and it automatically
completes it for you so I've chosen to type in why our Chinese so why our Chinese according to
Google Chrome Google search engine in incognito mode so the first one that we've got here is why
our Chinese toxic this could be any number of things but I mean I don't really agree with the
premise to start off with if you're in China and you're like talking with ordinary Chinese people
about ordinary things they're just like everyone else in the world everyone's completely fine maybe
this is a meme of some kind it might be referring to nationalists or like hyper nationalists so like
everyone knows about the will Mao party like the these hyper nationalists these keyboard warriors
who just get online and they they try to tear down anything remotely possibly maybe tenuously
connect to something against China if China had 4chan and sent its armies out to fight for China
I think that's probably what it's talking about things like that but yeah let's let's type it
in ok all right well yeah it seemed that it seems like that is what it is China's toxic nationalism
unapologetic and talks yeah ok in ba yeah there's a here's well as is why are 90% of Chinese players
griefers so this is some sort of I think this is a minecraft that's the GTA online I'm not
really sure what a griefer is let's put it up on here yeah ok well there you go I I guess I was
right on this one why are Chinese white dolphins endangered alright well they're endangered due to
a of a variety of things I assume it's probably because of pollution pollution within the water
and also maybe overfishing overfishing has become a big thing especially along the Yangtze rivers
like the baiji River Dolphin is pretty much its extinct because of like the pollution in the water
overfishing it disrupts the whole ecosystem and also all the shipping that goes throughout China
there's just an unbelievable amount of shipping and logistics that happens here you know it's
the world's biggest population and it's this it's the factory of the world so to speak and that is
an unfortunate kind of consequence of it but they are taking steps right now to to combat that like
they've outlawed fishing on the Yangtze River they're starting to do that and they're gonna
do that for I think the next year or something like that because the fishing stock in the Yangtze
River is just like debt it's been decimated so they've said no more fishing in anywhere along
the Yangtze River yeah that's that's great so they are they do know that and they're working
on that but yeah I think that's probably why the the dolphin is extinct why are Chinese
Mother's more controlling than American mothers my child is my report card that's very long for
one thing my child is my report card interesting well this is probably referring to Tiger mom's I
made a video about this a long time ago there's a card that's gonna pop up on the screen here that
you can watch so I made a video a long time ago about competition competition in China
is unbelievable in schools the competition for jobs the competition for this and that and that
you know you've got a billion people one point foot four billion people you've got all these
kids hundreds and hundreds of millions of kids who are trying to get into university you're trying to
get in good middle schools good this good that so as a consequence of that there are jobs like
these English training centers there are all these like piano classes and like extra math classes and
extra classes to make these kids stand out from the group that's why Chinese parents are generally
speaking more controlling because they want their child to stand out from the crowd they want their
child to do well to get into these good schools to get into these good programs to have a better
life that's how it is here it's kind of I think there is a video that I made about this quite a
while ago I'll put it up on here as on my this is China playlist why are Chinese phones cheap mmm
this could get interesting Chinese ones are cheap because Chinese phones are made in China so you've
got cost of labour is low cost of Parts is low cuz everything is pretty cheap here there's a guy
who's named Scotty who made a video a long time ago about building an iPhone in China he built
an iPhone here from scratch and it only cost him like a hundred and thirty nine dollars he built
a working iPhone from parts that he sourced around Shenzhen so you've got wholesale markets for parts
that are made here in China and also you could get into the whole like IP theft and intellectual
property and things like this and plus like there's there's a lot of competition you know
there's a lot of different Chinese smartphones out so you got to put the price down because there's
competition so like I use a oneplus to film on and I know oneplus is part of Oppo and something about
oneplus that makes oneplus really cheap is that they sort of they take features that are already
accepted by the market they don't do a lot of research and development they just say what do
people like that's on the market right now well let's just take this feature and this feature in
this feature maybe add one more feature to that and that as a result keeps the cost way down
and oneplus it's it's a great phone they're very popular overseas and they're not that popular here
in China but they're really really good actually so Chinese phones they're cheap and they're good
but maybe because of a few reasons that aren't so good number five why are Chinese so good at
ping pong all right okay let's get into that one so ping pong actually created by the British right
created by the British but somehow made its way over here I don't know the whole history of ping
pong is Chinese are really good at ping pong because it doesn't take a lot of space you're
seeing a table a ball and a racket those are all pretty cheap things don't need a lot of space it
seems like the perfect kind of recipe it's sort of like asking why are Brazilians good at football
why are Brazilians good at soccer because all you need is a field in a ball of some kind one it's
everywhere it's a part of the culture if you go to a university you'll see rows and rows and rows of
ping-pong tables lining an entire like block and whenever something becomes ingrained that deeply
into culture people are gonna you know take it up people are gonna be good at it so yeah there
you go why are Chinese smart okay so we've got a positive thing for once Chinese are very very
book smart I would absolutely agree with that they're very very book smart and some Chinese
are very very street smart but I think Chinese may be considered smart for a few reasons they're very
book smart because China's education like I guess primary education maybe middle school education is
actually really good like in terms of putting facts into children's heads China's very very
good at that like I've seen so many textbooks over the years from my Chinese students about
geography and psychology and physics and math and and history and all these things these kids are
on another level like if you compared an average Chinese students textbooks to an average American
kids textbooks these Chinese kids are learning way more facts and way more basic knowledge like it's
not even a competition some things suffer as a result of that you know the obvious thing is
like creativity thinking of teaching kids how to think instead of teaching kids to memorize that's
not a big thing here so I think that that's probably that probably contributes to that as
well as the competition the kids have to do super super well in exams they have to you know be very
good at these things and when when anyone sees Chinese people abroad you are seeing one of two
things you're seeing either a student who's the best of the best you're seeing a student who's
the best of the best who's gotten the highest scores who has done the best or you're seeing
the richest of the rich so you know you're seeing one of those two and I've met both types over the
years numbers I don't remember which one we're on now why are Chinese ovens pink wire Chinese white
dolphins pink are they well I mean I remember seeing a photo of a pink dolphin but are they all
pink ok well let's actually search that one one these of these dolphins they're actually called
indo-pacific humpback dolphins they can be gray white or pink but it actually originates from not
not a pigment but from blood vessels which were over developed for thermoregulation and this is
unique to the population along the Chinese coast that's interesting question answered question
answered I never actually thought about that whoo okay next one why are Chinese called onions this
okay um this seems like a meme this seems like a meme hold on if I typed I typed it in it says
what's the deal with onions why does everyone keep calling each other onions apparently this is a
sort of meme when it comes to Cantonese there's certain words we don't have perfect translation
we decide to have fun and create our own slang says Justin Elena I don't know what that means
I don't know who that is there's some sort of TV show that came out it's in the first episode
there are so many Chinese coming to America that they are worth the same as an onion okay
we actually have a Chinese translation spring onion is very easy to grow is deemed as cheap
or low life so asking what sort of spring and onion are you is actually saying who the F do
you think you are you piece of this okay all right so apparently there there's your answer next one
why are Chinese takeaway so expensive are they are Chinese takeaway he's expensive I don't think
they are Li I mean I haven't been back to the US for two years so maybe I've missed something
but Chinese food isn't expensive at all where I'm from well I mean what about you if you get
Chinese takeaway how much does it cost last one all right why are Chinese pangolins endangered
right not really a fun one not a fun topic but this is because basically if Chinese medicine
Chinese traditional medicine has wrecked a lot of wildlife populations it's it's it's
an unfortunate reality so like penguins they have these little scales on the on the outside that are
made of keratin it's the same stuff that's in your fingernails it's the same stuff that's in
a rhino's horn I believe in various other animals but Chinese traditional medicine seems to believe
that this keratin even though it's identical to what's in our fingernails this keratin is
it's different in the Pangolin so they have to get the scales from the Pangolin grind it up
and use it in various forms of medicine so this is really common throughout the animal kingdom
there's something within Chinese medicine that is really prized and really important so people
go out and poach these things they go out and hunt these things and then it devastates the
wild population there is a law in China that says like if you farm these animals then you
can use them for traditional medicine and it's not illegal but there's so much demand that it
just it's a huge ecological problem so that's basically why penguins are endangered I think
they're the most trafficked species in the world if I remember that right it's really
sad well there you go man we ended on quite a sad note actually but there you go this is
Google autofill hopefully we'll make some more in the future let me know if you enjoyed this
