Meet Jackie, a British vlogger whose lighthearted explorations of the Chinese mainland are racking up views – and reshaping global perceptions. Armed with a phone and killer Mandarin skills, he trades scripted takes for raw moments: bargaining at dawn markets, slurping ‘hotpot like a local’ 🍲, and cracking jokes with elderly tai chi masters in Shanghai parks.
His secret? ‘I show the China I live in—not what algorithms want’ ✨, Jackie tells us. Followers praise his ‘refreshing honesty’ about everything from high-speed rail efficiency to TikTok dance crazes. His latest viral hit? A tearful reunion after helping a fan’s grandmother record video messages for overseas relatives 🇨🇳🌍.
What’s next? Jackie plans road trips to Yunnan’s tea terraces and ‘deep dives’ into tech hubs like Shenzhen. ‘China’s never just one story,’ he says. ‘I’m here for Chapter 2!’ 🚀📱
