Jerry2 :

There are cities in China you've never heard of with more people than anywhere you've ever been

Lycophyte :

Canton, Ohio was named after Guangzhou!

solomon_tsanger :

Shenzhen was, when i was a child in the 70s, a fishing village. That is the real kicker

Joel Chong :

Visited Guangzhou, Shenzen, and Hong Kong 2 years ago. The density, infrastructure, and urbanization is ridiculous there. It was surreal seeing a ~30 story tall mixed use building with 7 floors under it and connected to a train station. And the mixed use building had a shopping mall, food court, grocery store, urgent care, hotels, apartments, and other amenities. You’d never find this kind of building in the US.

TheOvaltineDream :

I joke about this often but I grew up in Portland which, around that time, was about 500,000 people and I always felt that was the big city. Then I moved to Chicago as an adult where I currently live today and I was like wow now THIS is the big city. Then you look at these cities in Asia and Chicago’s 3 million people looks quaint by comparison.

user160220030094 :

As a small city guy, I’m always fascinated by big city people. As a kid, i used to asked myself “Do they all know each other?”… Obviously not, but like how many people do they know? Who knows the most people? How are all these relationship webs interconnected? So fascinating!

⚛️Joako⚛️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈=❤️ :

How the F are they able to handle all of the goods infrastructure associated with 80 million people. We're talking about water, wastewater, electricity, transportation, food, etc.

LogB :

how do they feed that many people

Simon Hendriks :

I love supporting small creators

sanktpaulus0005 :

Wow like 10 people more than germany

kikoff 🇳🇴 :

Jokes on them. I am from a city in Norway with about 15 000 people and an hour drive to the nearest other similar sized city.

ani :

I actually have been to foshan. It’s a big hub for manufacturing furniture. This is one of the showrooms for international buyers, it’s literally like its own mall full of custom furniture

clo_undercover :

One of the reasons it’s so developed is because it was a British occupied territory

jeffbezosfirstbornson :

I was there in Guangzhou and it felt that big. I was there three days (in the pearl bay for 9) and in Guangzhou I felt like I saw maybe 3% of the city.

WeatherRanger :

I never skip a “why there”

Mob Lil G🥶 :

Great job explaining everything damn bro

amir :

Yangtze River Delta has 235M people

GravelSkyline :

It’s a Little Ocean Bay called the Pearl River Delta

Crazy how no one ever talk about this place

offnaway :

Hong Kong is one of my favorite places. Insane views, great food, truly cosmopolitan vibes, people from all over the world.

Greg Clubsandwich :

TSCHI͙CK☆ :
