great vid. I think China is one of the most underrated countries to visit. China has so much to see and so many things to do. From city lovers to tropical beach goers to mother nature lovers, China has it all.

Though pre-pandemic tourism figures show that China is the world’s fourth most visited country for international travelers behind the US, Spain and France. Received almost 60 million foreign tourists.

Cash is still a legal tender, any establishment refuse to accept cash transaction is breaching the law. I have had no problem of using cash in Shangzhen, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

As of this writing on Saturday when I GOOGLED, "Beijing AQI" it says the Air Quality Index of Beijing is 155 and RED or Unhealthy Air Quality. Unfortunately, it is this for most of the year in Beijing. China used 4,252 METRIC TONS in 2023 and the US used 459 METRIC TONS in 2023. Yes, China uses 10 times burning of coal. China has an endless supply of cheap coal in Norther China and they need this to produce electriity to warm homes and to keep all the manufacturing production going. China’s huge network of coal mines, already responsible for more than half of global production, has churned out record volumes of the black rock this year in response to demands from Beijing to make sure the country has a stable supply of electricity. China’s powerful leader, Xi Jinping, has said that the fossil fuel will remain the “mainstay” of the Chinese power system in the near term, even as the country installs massive amounts of wind, solar, hydro and nuclear power. An obsession among policymakers about energy security has been worsened in recent years by power shortages exacerbated by heat waves and freezing winters causing spiking power demands. After a cold snap plunged temperatures to record lows across northern China this month, electricity demand hit its highest ever daily level on Dec. 17, with 70 percent of supply for households being met by coal, Chinese state media reported. In an apparent attempt to regain momentum in the fight against air pollution, China last month announced a plan to ensure that concentrations of fine particulate matter fall 10 percent nationwide and 20 percent in Beijing and its surroundings between 2020 and 2025. Hazardous air pollution rebounded in most major Chinese cities this year, research showed, after a surge in coal burning and industrial activity upended a decade of progress toward cleaner skies. Compared to 2022, levels of microscopic particles spewed into the air from burning fossil fuels were up 7.7 percent by the end of November, the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air, a Finland-based nonprofit, said on Friday. When inhaled, these tiny pieces of pollution known as PM 2.5 can be severely harmful to health. One study estimated that air pollution caused 1.85 million deaths in China in 2019. While unfavorable wind patterns and rainfall may be partially to blame, the rise was concentrated in areas of the country’s coal and heavy industry hubs, according to the group’s analysis of air quality readings alongside industrial and power generation data.

Hello, pleasure to meet you, I'm Angelo! I would like to ask some questions to experienced individuals about China in this group, as I have no one else to consult and I'm considering if it's better to choose another destination in Europe. I sincerely thank you in advance for your help. I have the opportunity to go to Beijing on Erasmus at Beihang University, where I would be taking some exams for my master's degree in Computer Engineering. However, I have some doubts. The courses will be conducted in English, so there shouldn't be any issues from that perspective, but I wonder if most people have a good grasp of English in general. Regarding accommodation, I believe I would be assigned a university residence, which would help me save on costs. However, I would like to know if the overall cost of living (such as expenses, for example) is high. How much is typically spent monthly? I am particularly concerned about the severe air pollution that I've heard about. I would like to know what precautions you take and if I should expect to have to live wearing a mask and keeping the windows closed. Have you experienced any health problems due to pollution? Thank you very much for your help!

I got my master degree in Beijing from 2014 to 2017. At that time, my monthly living expenses is about 2000RMB. Currently, I guess 3000 RMB is enough. Regarding air pollution, don't worry for that. There's very very big improvement in recent 10 years in Beijing. Even though there's no obvious improvement in other province, Beijing and its surrounding city must not have serious air pollution again because the central government locate here, these powerful men don't want to breathe bad air😂
