China Through a Vlogger’s Lens: Speed, Progress & People Power

Imagine a country that evolves faster than a Marvel movie CGI sequence – that’s China through the eyes of Mexican vlogger Max Carrera. Since arriving in 2019, he’s documented everything from facial payment tech to vertigo-inducing skyscrapers, calling it “a real-life time-lapse of human progress.”

Carrera’s family first visited in 1998 when “bicycles ruled the streets,” yet still sensed “the aroma of transformation in the air.” Fast forward to today: China’s bullet trains zoom at 350 km/h, robots deliver parcels, and 5G networks blanket cities – all built within 20 years.

But the ultimate plot twist? “What shocked me most wasn’t the tech… it’s the people,” Carrera confesses. He describes witnessing “a collective determination you can almost touch” – from engineers working late to street vendors mastering QR code payments.

His final takeaway? “China’s secret sauce isn’t just ambition… it’s love for their home, served with extra hustle.”
