You do realize that a cherry picked video with a super small sample size of people interviewed in another country isn't a great representation of most of the country?

Having traveled through a significant amount of China more than once, i can say with absolute certainty that this video is basically hand picked propaganda. And even if its not, more people in Beijing have traveled than any other city other than Hong Kong or maybe Shenzhen, and all 3 cities put together are an incredibly tiny slice of the total population of China.

The vast majority of people in China quite simply have no idea how the world works outside of China. The great firewall has a big part in that, and the fact that the Chinese government has been heavy handed in controlling the school system to 'fine tune' what people ARE taught about other countries, if other countries are even talked about.
