A resurfaced video of a Chinese student comparing the “American dream” and the “Chinese dream” has sparked debate among social media users.

The video, re-shared in September by Instagram user @shangguan_jiewen, shows the student pointing out the differences between the “American Dream” and the “Chinese Dream,” explaining that the former is an “individual dream,” which is mainly focused on the US dollar, while the latter is everyone’s dream that “serves the people”. Finally, the student said, “Don’t mention the American dream when I get back.” Vulgar.”

Although it is unclear when and where the video was filmed, it has been shared repeatedly in recent years, such as by Radio Free Asia – Chinese in 2021 and a Korean language forum in 2022.

In the comments, one user expressed support for the student’s message, writing, “I’m so happy to see a strong China. The heart of the East and keeping these positive, wise ideas strong and alive.” Meanwhile, another user commented: “The China Dream only works if everyone is of the same race, in this case Han Chinese.” The American Dream is, that because of racial diversity, it’s every man for himself.”
