A Very Chinese Time… | Ep.055 Lemonade Stand🍋

Las Vegas Casino, it is honestly very reminiscent of that.

There are cameras everywhere, especially inside buildings, but there's a ton outside as well.

And aside from the fact that it exists, I think the reactions from people about it, one woman that Stefan talked to noted that like, oh, it's literally called Skynet, literally.

Lemonade Stand

is so good.

Lemonade Stand

It keeps everybody so safe.

There's all this accountability for like traffic infractions, theft.

A Very Chinese Time… | Ep.055 Lemonade Stand🍋

A lot of the person at the university we're speaking with noted the fall in a lot of major crime in China and attributes a lot of it to this enforcement mechanism.

I think that reaction of people have a confidence in the way that it benefits life here is in juxtaposition of the American view of it being so intrusive and painful.

A Very Chinese Time… | Ep.055 Lemonade Stand🍋

It's interesting to me because all of these things seem to be acknowledged by people we talk to.

So it's funny to be like, oh, it's so good here, when to me, honestly, it's one of the worst parts about being here.

Lemonade Stand
A Very Chinese Time… | Ep.055 Lemonade Stand🍋

But that's part of it.

Lemonade Stand
A Very Chinese Time… | Ep.055 Lemonade Stand🍋

That's part of it.
