This video explores BeeRose In China's decision to raise her children in Beijing, China, rather than the USA. She highlights several key reasons, starting with infrastructure. Unlike the car-dependent infrastructure of the US, China offers readily available public transport, making it easier for children to be independent and safe.
She then discusses safety, noting the constant presence of people and security cameras in Beijing, which creates a sense of security that contrasts with her childhood experiences in the US where she felt more vulnerable. This sense of safety extends to allowing children more freedom to play outdoors even at night.
Racism is another significant factor. BeeRose contrasts the pervasive racism she witnessed in the US with the generally curious, rather than hateful, interactions she experiences in China. She desires a more accepting and inclusive environment for her children.
The respectful behavior of children in Chinese schools is highlighted as another positive aspect. The emphasis on respecting teachers and focusing on learning creates a more productive educational environment compared to her experiences in the US where disruptive behavior often distracted from learning.
Learning Chinese is crucial for her children, and living in China provides unparalleled immersion. The abundance of resources and the international environment further enhance their learning opportunities.
Beijing's international nature is another advantage. The large foreign population creates a diverse and welcoming community, with access to a wide range of international cuisines and cultures. The city's family-friendly atmosphere, with large malls dedicated to children's activities and affordable options, adds to its appeal.
The affordability of living in China is a major factor. BeeRose notes that the cost of living is significantly lower than in the West, allowing for a more comfortable lifestyle and reducing financial anxieties. This affordability extends to travel, with examples of inexpensive domestic travel options within China.
Finally, the cultural richness of China, with its 5,000-year history, and the relative lack of natural disasters compared to her experience with hurricanes in the US, are presented as final advantages. BeeRose concludes by emphasizing the stability and overall benefits of raising her family in Beijing.
