Meet Jerry, a Qingdao-based YouTuber who’s gone viral for challenging negative stereotypes about China. In his latest video titled ‘The Real China I Know’, he dismantles what he calls \"unfair narratives\" painting the country as a geopolitical villain.

\"I’ve lived here for years, and the China I see is full of innovation, cultural richness, and people working hard to build better lives,\" Jerry says, highlighting tech advancements and community vibes in cities like Shanghai and Chengdu.

His channel, which blends street interviews with cultural deep dives, has sparked debates online. While some accuse him of being a ‘propaganda tool’, followers praise his balanced takes. One fan commented: ‘Finally, someone shows China beyond the headlines!’

Jerry isn’t alone—more digital creators are sharing positive stories about the Chinese mainland. Experts suggest this trend reflects Gen Z’s hunger for unfiltered perspectives in a polarized media landscape.
