Shenzhen
Note: I lived and worked in Shenzhen, 2016-2019. Amazing place!

Aerotaxis are for real in China
#1: at the Shenzhen Ferry is displayed a Chinese driverless aerotaxi, which are now being used by the public in some of the bigger cities. Battery driven with two seats, you tell it where you want to go and it gets you there. They are expanding the number of aerotaxi “airports”. They have been tested for several years and are now confident to go commercial to serve the people.
This level of technology demands 5G, which the Chinese have in spades. It is 10 times faster and more accurate than 4G, which wouldn’t work. Way too slow.
In October 2025, China had 4,758,000 5G base towers, five times a many as in 2020.
In June 2025, China had 4,550,000 5G base towers, meaning in only three months, Sinoland installed 208,000 more.
How does this compare to the USA? It has a total of 100,000 5G base towers, with the same land area as China. This means that China, in just three months, built twice as many 5G base towers as the USA has in its entire history!
How is this possible? All of China’s phone companies (like Orange, Vodaphone and T-Mobile) are people-owned, none are private. All the land in China is people-owned, making it easy to negotiate any installation that involves where citizens live.
Furthermore, the Chinese embrace 5G, because they expect Baba Beijing to use it responsibly and safely. It doesn’t matter the electromagnetic frequency, 4G, 5G, 6G, etc. All energy waves can be used for good or evil, depending on whose hands they are in.
Judeo-Westerners rightfully fear 5G, because their governments are Satanic, depopulationist and have no care or concern for their peoples’ safety and health. In fact, the West’s Judeo-leaders have their World Economic Forum-World “Health” Organization marching orders to do whatever it takes to slash humanity’s numbers.
While the Chinese people march confidently into the 22nd century, using science and technology for progress, development and the greater good, the collective Judeo-West is bankrupting its peoples to fight forever wars and wasting trillions genociding millions of innocent souls around Planet Earth.
You have to choose. You can’t have both.
Family solidarity
#2: you can see how highly ranked family is in Chinese culture with this photo.
This grade schoolboy, along with his younger brother help their parents, who run a mom & pop restaurant in the evenings, after they finish their homework (https://radiosinoland.com/2024/06/18/a-look-at-chinas-education-system-versus-the-west-different-cultures-expectations-and-outcomes-china-rising-radio-sinoland-240618/). Not only that, but they babysit their one-year-old cousin, pictured, not for a few minutes, but the whole evening. Carrying her in their arms, talking and playing with her and showing a lot of love.
I don’t know many Western grade schoolers who like spending evenings after homework entertaining enfants, changing diapers, all while cleaning tables and serving food to customers. Yet, this happens all the time in Confucist-Daoist-Buddhist-Communist-Socialist, family-first China.
In Puli Town, Taiwan Province, our friends’ mom and pop restaurant continually has nieces, nephews and even friends who come to help out. It is a forgotten concept in the Judeo-West: it’s called family-community solidarity.
Notice the boy’s school uniform. All Chinese students kindergarten to 12th grade wear uniforms. In our photos, if students are wearing a red neck kerchief, it means they are members of the Communist Youth League.
HIgh-end shopping
China is most definitely a communist-socialist country and economy, with a veneer of capitalist consumerism at the retail level (https://radiosinoland.com/2022/12/04/rebuttal-to-china-is-capitalist-the-religiosity-of-the-myth-of-chinese-capitalism-by-ron-leighton-dr-t-p-wilkinson-interviews-jeff-j-brown/). Given China’s history setting success since liberation in 1949, there is so much cognitive dissonance among Judeo-Westerners, because you are told that communism-socialism cannot succeed and only capitalism works for citizens.
Yet, that’s exactly why Chinese governance works so well for the 99% and much less so for the 1%, which is exactly opposite of the Judeo-West, going back 3,000 years. You have been brainwashed into believing that the Chinese are capitalist, period, but it’s simply not true (https://radiosinoland.com/2023/12/08/so-called-communist-china-by-jeff-j-brown-on-the-greanville-post/).
This capitalist consumerism is especially noticeable for luxury brands and goods. Pictured above is an open-air shopping mall called Mixy-C. All the high-end brands are here. Like Mercedes and BMW cars, luxury brands like Dior, Gucci, Hermes, Chanel, Vuitton, Coach, Longchamp, Versace and all the others would be bankrupt without the Chinese market.
Chinese tourists line up at chic stores in Paris to spend thousands of euros on expensive brands. There was quite a scuttlebutt earlier this year, when it was revealed that many of the supposed luxury goods, including Swiss watches were not being made in Europe by skilled natives as advertised, but – you guessed it – right here in good old China.
Suddenly, these Chinese manufacturers flooded TikTok, offering overseas buyers to buy these brands at a fraction of the cost, by “buying direct”.
This capitalist scandal may have put a dent in European sales to well-to-do Chinese tourists, but as you can see here, it has not put the brakes on their marketing in-country.
#3a-f: the glasses in a chic store were selling for around ¥2,000 a pair (€244).

#3g: One of the interesting contradictions about communist-socialist China is that there’s a lot of high end stuff here. There’s Christian Dior. There’s Zara, which is kind of mundane; Gucci, and it just goes on and on and on. This is a real trendy shopping address. And, of course, this is Huawei, where I’m getting my phone repaired.
