New York native Arieh Smith's 2009 trip to Beijing changed his perceptions of the country and inspired his series of social media videos about China and its culture.
Now an internet influencer with millions of followers on social media, Smith, who goes by "小马在纽约 (Ari in New York)", creates videos about introducing Chinese culture and cuisine to people in New York's streets that aim to promote cultural understanding and exchange.
Smith sat down with
NewsChina to talk about his China experiences, some of the misconceptions the American public has about China, and what kind of content best promotes dialogue between the people of China and the US.
