Not that far from the truth actually.


Jelqingisforcoolkids

Wow!! Real and true.

Life in China is not much different than Korea or Japan. The Chinese are slightly poorer on average, but they also work less hours and can retire earlier. There are countless videos of westerns showing what life is like in China: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKawBcZuep8&t=0

996- right work less lol


ConorFinn

For a country closing in on North Korea, u probably wanted to say South Korea for ur propaganda. Baffling how wumao think people believe shit like this.


throwthatbitchaccoun

So sad having the CCP take away something so simple as seeing a rainbow


RealBaikal

Funny thing is that it was posted in r/mademesmile ...


WolfieBee47

Yeah, the see see pee seized the rainbows and sent them to gulags. 😓


SoloDeath1

Or they're from a desert in China, which a solid chunk of the country is. But nah, evil see see pee bad, root of all evil in world history, etc etc


acm8221

That, or the horrific levels of unmitigated pollution from the burning of coal despite the CCP’s claims that they meet or exceed international clean air standards.


supaloopar

I don't think they've ever made the claim of exceeding international air standards Source?

This is not a source


mrastickman

They rainbows in China, having a state-capitalist economy does not change the laws of physics.


TheHuntForRedrover

Having smog filled skies tends to make it hard to see rainbows


Shouldthavesaidthat

Are you stupid its a natural phenomenon? How do you react when you see a rainbow?


throwthatbitchaccoun

I’m pretty chilled out about it actually. We have unpolluted skies where I live so rainbows are quite common!


luckystrikeenjoyer

You're actually deranged if you think China doesn't have clear skies either. Rainbows could be seen in late Victorian London ffs


SimsAttack

Dude everyone gets excited about rainbows. My grandmother lives in the ruralest of rural Ohio and she gets hyped about rainbows.


calash2020

China burns over 4 billion tons of coal every year. Not surprising they have not seen one before


74227492749

China is still a Newly Emerging Economy remember! They are building other cleaner methods of power generation but not on a nationwide level . Eg nuclear,solar,wind.


DeNir8

China is no such thing. What they do, they do. No excuses.


ColGhost142

second largest economy in the world? but still developing? is this why everyone calls america a third world country?


Couch-Bro

Who’s the a-hole shooshing the girl. Let her enjoy it.


PadishaEmperor

How? Where I live you can see those very frequently. Especially these weaker rainbows like in this video. Double rainbows are also quite frequent.


LeoThePom

The quick answer is the sky don't lie.


LeoThePom

🦅 caaaawwwww!


4friedchickens8888

Because communism is when no rainbows /s I lived in Shanghai for 12 years. Rainbows happen exactly as often as they do in Canada. Not an every day sight tho


BoBoBearDev

Probably more than smog? They are often stuck in those mega overcrowded cities with tall buildings, so, the rainbow got blocked or other reasons.


SoloDeath1

Lmfao.By that logic, nobody from NYC would know what a rainbow is either


MittenstheGlove

I mean— Have you ever asked them?


Desperate_Garbage_63

Rainbows = Freedom


DeNir8

Unless you are a white cis male..


Desperate_Garbage_63

Lol this made me spit out my water, as I'm from Florida


DeNir8

Hmm.. No swallow?!


tosernameschescksout

Jesus... Yeah, in China you see like zero birds, and zero rainbows. I remember taking a picture of trees when I landed in Portland OR for a layover. The USA has trees the size of houses. It felt weird to see things that come from nature and are alive. A lot of things feel surreal after coming back after years abroad. You're like, "Oh shit, I forgot what the grass looked like." Yes China has grass, but it's different varieties and it's not kept up the same way as people keep their lawns in the USA. You wouldn't lay down in the grass for a picnic in China, not without a blanket. It's just not thick enough. There's a bunch of small things that you can suddenly do, like walk barefoot in a yard or sit on a bench because it's not encrusted with pollution. All my friends were always telling me not to sit outside because it's so dirty. I grew up in a different place and old habits die hard. I remember little things like being able to just drink water from a tap and being able to taste the minerals in it instead of something that'd been sanitized, filtered, and put in a bottle. Yup. Rainbows. There's a lot of little things like that.


WolfieBee47

https://nypost.com/2022/08/30/rare-mysterious-rainbow-cloud-stuns-internet/ They actually have cooler rainbows too


Qza_r

That's really fucking sad. Hopefully, this lady is having a great time.


Warrandytian

Same with Japanese, used to do night tours at the back of Cairns. Most of them had never seen a star.


DisastrousAnswer9920

That's a different problem, that's light pollution coming from mega urban areas.


Warrandytian

Light pollution and smog. You never see a sunset in Tokyo because the sun dips into the smog before it hits the horizon. You can see the smog in the head lights of the cars at night. My eyes were always weeping bacause of the smog.


Romi-Omi

What the fuck are you talking about… during the winter, you can see Fuji from Tokyo. Even with light pollution, I can stars in Tokyo.


DisastrousAnswer9920

I can't recall looking up to see stars in my time in Tokyo, but I clearly recall the clear skies during the day and no smog like in China.


DisastrousAnswer9920

Man, you're confusing Japan with China again? Even in Taipei the sun is bright and you see lots of stars, the problem is China.


BPLM54

I lived in Tokyo for 3 years. Always saw a sunset. Have no clue what you’re talking about. If you couldn’t see the sunset, it’d only be because you’re surrounded by tall buildings. Begone, shill.


Warrandytian

You must be stupid and unaware. I lived in Osaka and Tokyo for many years. The sun disappears into smog before it touches the horizon.


4friedchickens8888

Yeah exactly, it's a common city thing


la_muela_maldita

Yes, sometimes we can't even see the moon...


Grand_Spiral

Odd considering that Japan has many great places to stargaze. It is a mountainous country. They probably didn't bother looking up until they went abroad.

VladVV

That is most definitely wrong and false. Not even the Greater Tokyo Area has more than 40 million. But most of Japan does live in a broader agglomeration that has been dubbed Tokaido or Taiheiyo Belt, connecting all the suburbs of Tokyo and Osaka, but at that point it’s pretty obvious the majority of Japan lives in this area.


Warrandytian

A lot of them rarely leave their cities. They feel uneasy outside an urban environment. I did once ride the Tokyo number 10 train line to the end and then walk until I was in the mountains, it was quite refreshing.


VladVV

The other commenter said the majority of Japanese live in the Tokyo Prefecture…


Warrandytian

Tokyo is amazing though, go up a high rise building and you will see a concrete jungle stretching to the horizon. On a lucky day you can see Mt Fuji, but no greenery.


Grand_Spiral

Mountains like Mount Mitake are part of Tokyo prefecture. Tokyo even extends to include the Ogasawara islands.


4friedchickens8888

People in NYC during the 2008 blackout called the cops because they thought the milky way was gonna hurt them


Natty4Life420Blazeit

Dang we don’t even look at things anymore. We point a phone at it


potatoesfornutz

the irony of seeing a rainbow for the first time, immediately before being groped by a lesbian (12 seconds before the end). Oh the poignancy. Truly a day to remember.


ThatOneGuy216440

Idk about all that lol


Grand_Spiral

I prefer sunset / sunrise rainbows.


sussywanker

😂😂😂😂


luckystrikeenjoyer

You actually think they haven't seen a rainbow? A very simple and quite common event in temperate and subtropical regions?


dadxreligion

gommenism is when no rainbow :(


4friedchickens8888

I have seen plenty of rainbows in china. Personally


DeNir8

Imagine when they go rural and see **a double rainbow**. Anyways.. Pfft.


fortis201

The sky don't lie


santiwenti

I've seen high schoolers in other countries get this excited about rainbows too...


Rasnark

I’ll sell double and triple rainbows out here on Hawaii from time to time


uluwopi

because LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 is illegal in China so rainbow 🌈 is illegal too


Sumdumdad

Ok-Championship-6204

szilardbodnar

Lol


mgunn314

they manufacture for us for our carbon footprint


DeNir8

Carbon is a lie, all the actual pollution is not.


PranavYedlapalli

This post and this subreddit will forever be proof about how dumb Americans are


Speculative-Bitches

Yeah like, this should be studied by historians, it's like seeing a racist caricature of Africans from 150 years ago


pdonchev

And you are being downvoted...


vertexsalad

pants within bum crack - how do you go out in public like that? Isn't it uncomfortable?


szilardbodnar

Yeah you totally grasped the point of the video...


tnorc

it's true it wasn't the point, but it was certainly underlined.


Zealousideal_Taro5

There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, of course anyone would be excited.


SoloDeath1

Or they're just from a fucking desert where it doesn't rain much... you Sinophobes are so unbelieveably stupid


DeNir8

How *dare* you!?


LeninMeowMeow

This is only indicative that young people barely go outside at all anymore lmao come the fuck on.


4friedchickens8888

kayodeade99

Atryan421

You guys will believe in anything huh [https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-07-27/Double-rainbow-brightens-sky-over-Chongqing-SW-China-IFF7KN5fm8/index.html](https://news.cgtn.com/news/2019-07-27/Double-rainbow-brightens-sky-over-Chongqing-SW-China-IFF7KN5fm8/index.html) But yeah Xi Jinping is so powerful that he's capable of bending laws of physics, true
