24/7 Police Surveillance in China: A Journalist’s Experience
As the sun rises over the rugged landscape along the China-North Korea border, the air is thick with tension and intrigue. In this gripping episode, I delve into the intense world of 24/7 police surveillance—a reality for many in this heavily monitored region. My second day under the watchful eyes of the Chinese police unveils the stark contrasts between freedom and control, exploration and restraint.
In a land where every move is scrutinized, I navigate through bustling towns and quiet villages, revealing the nuances of daily life amidst the ever-present gaze of law enforcement. From encounters with locals to the unseen challenges they face, this journey offers a rare glimpse into a society where privacy is a luxury few can afford.
Join me as I uncover the complexities of life under surveillance, exploring not just the physical barriers imposed by the state, but also the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This episode promises to challenge perceptions and ignite discussions about freedom, security, and the price of progress. Welcome to a world where every moment is a story waiting to be told.

Sorry for the discomfort…. And it adds suspense to the adventure! Stay safe❤
America will use to supplement fluck cams.
Funny to see that they lost you with all these cameras. So crazy. 🤪
What a waste of taxpayer money. Ridiculous.
And alle they lazy guys who wants to have authoritarian leaders: take a closer look.
Authority inspired by unreasonable fear (sometimes real fear) and the desire to control with authority (the power to intimidate) as means to protect personal power.
I hate the chinese food market, its gruelty to animals! I would never, ever go tho China…NEVER!
The intelligence officer in charge is probably an older man who has never heard of a YouTuber content creator traveling around the world, and his operating system is Windows 95. I believe he has been sleepless ever since Noraly showed up in China.
To be honest. I would think they would be suspicious. In some countries you would be held in police station untill they felt like letting you go. North korea would not be as nice i think.
Should have never ridden the border where tourists rarely go and gone through that gate when wandering off course. Aroused the suspicions of a paranoid Communist surveillance state. Took her out of her game. None of her exquisite background music. No drone shots of the river and its surrounds which would have been welcome. Few stops along the way. Commie police ruining her methods of travel. Panic setting in, but she's right – just act normal.
Welcome to the wonderful world of communism
Definitely unsettling and id get anxious too.
But its good to remember that if they are following you with a presence, they know you know, then its more a scare tactic than anything "dangerous"
But its no fun regardless
Why didn’t you do what Eddie Murphy’s character Alex Foley did in Beverly Hills Cop and stick a banana in the tailpipe of the police car that was following you?
Good Luck I'm Praying as hard as I can.
It is certainly not a nice feeling of being followed by the police, no doubt ! But what did you expect in a country like China where everyone is observed and surveilled the entire time? It is not a Western European state or democracy!
Being followed by the police like that would make me feel very unwelcome in their country. I would never return
i'd go over to them, introduce myself, and invite them to join you for lunch. maybe ask them for a good place to eat? 🙂
I always PRAY for your SAFETY. The scenic view is AMAZING and I appreciate you sharing it all. GOD BLESS your journey. 🏍️💨🛣️
Sounds like the UK.
Very same carry on. People here love calling the police.They love cameras too.
Go to a hardware store and buy some nails. You collect nails from around the world .
Communists have no concept of democracy and freedom, that is why I keep telling my friends India the west is still much better destination despite China's development, you have more less restriction and more freedom to do whatever you want in the west.
You're in danger Noraly, I'd be looking for the exit.
Impeccable judgement.
I saw on the chinese YouTube a very nice programme: Look at this weird Dutch motorcycle tourist travelling our country. It features a lady on a blue bike. Very funny.
10:58 go see what's down that muddy road for a few minutes. Then come back and continue to fuel.
You should feel privileged, you have 24/7 private bodyguards everywhere with you 😎
In a world where it is east vs west and where the east is trying to protect it's virtue and sovereignty against a very exploitive west (and u're western—no offenses intended) it's very not normal for u to ride along a very high risk-sensitive international border that could cause geopolitical issues at any time… it's like saying it's normal to play around someone's "bandaged" wound or leg and saying it's normal … besides u went ahead and began to take photographs even America would take u in for questioning… America did it just recently to a Chinese kid last week in Canada why? Because he took photos of an airplane and they claimed it's a Chinese spy and urself u went ahead and did it in a secluded Chinese—north Korean border—so it's not normal…. it's normal to want to appreciate nature and it's beauty but u forgot country borders are not natural or normal so be careful.
Again I say if there were any way or system in place where u would have filed in the map of the route u intended to take then all the drama wouldn't be necessary because it's official that u'd take those routes in ur tour
The police won't hurt you they'll just kidnap you and lock you in a room lol.
All your paranoia is concerning, isn’t there plenty of cool stuff to do and see in the free world? What on earth are you doing woman??
Excelente video para que vean lo que es una dictadura. Muchos embobados con la industria china y no dimensionan lo que es la falta de libertad. En todo sentido.
i have traveled to 63 countries but I never wanted to go to china and now I see why on top of my own reasons.
