    Two more Westerner talking trash about China. So biased? They want Chinese to smoke opium and be slave to the West. But no such luck. You can be as jealous or stupid as you want to be, China’s economy will become larger than US economy. Why don’t you make a video of two Chinese bashing US? Why not? Because that is against your “freedom of expression”? You are Fox News. LOL
