  8. I lived and worked in China for six years until July last year. I fell in love with China. I studied its history, talked to the people, enjoyed the food, immersed myself in the culture, tried to learn some of the language, visited many places, and married a Chinese wife. Since coming back to Australia, I get upset and defensive of China when I read and hear the negativity among so many people, including politicians, and the biased reporting by the media, against China. When I try to defend China, or say positive things about the country, I often get told I have been brainwashed, or that I can't like China and be a loyal Australian. I get the "whataboutism" - What about the persecution of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang? What about the Chinese government using Falun Gong practitioners for organ transplants and forced abortions? What about the monitoring of all the people by surveillance cameras for the social credit scheme? What about China destroying the One Country, Two Systems policy in Hong Kong? And so on, and so on. So these days I just bottle up my feelings and opinions and don't say much at all. And I feel bad about that, because there is so much about China, what it is really like, my experiences there, that I want to share. But you can give people the facts until you are blue in the face and they will continue to believe what they want to believe, or in other words, what they have been "brainwashed" to believe by the media and politicians. And when those people are often your own family, it makes it even harder to bear.

  94. Excellent talk Cyrus and Shaun. As a Hong Kong local who have spent years living in the West (and now back in Hong Kong), it bothers me how so much of the main stream media is biased with their anti-China narrative, and how many of the local HK kids/protestors are so blinkered and bought into all that. This talk is very balanced, and simply reflective of the reality of what is happening in HK. Shaun rightly pointed out the work by Pompeo and Hawley adding fuel to the fire, as well as the many failings of the HK government.  But to me, the worst culprits are the adults in HK who deliberately encouraged the kids and pushed them onto the streets, using them as foot soldiers to cause chaos. The youth in HK are victims - young impressionable kids being fed a false narrative, being told that they are fighting for a just cause, and worth the sacrifice. Many young lives and families are ruined, with jail sentences and lost opportunities. There was a popular saying during the height of the violence in 2019: "no cutting off" (not be the best translation, but basically saying that every part of the movement must stick together, including the rioters and arsonists). Those purporting to support peaceful protests - from "pro-democracy" legislators, to university professors, to certain parts of the press, to tools like Joshua Wong - were actively supporting violence and with their eyes wide open, pushing the kids to the front lines. We had one high profile legislator telling the kids in a rally that your life can be more exciting with a criminal record. Destroying young lives for their own political gains. It was inevitable that the Chinese government will clamp down hard on Hong Kong, especially with many of these legislators flying to Washington DC to meet with the likes of Pompeo, Hawley, Cruz, Rubio, etc etc to ask them to sanction Hong Kong and interfere in HK and China affairs. Not other country would stand for that, period.

  106. Hi Cyrus, I hold a master`s degree in International and strategic studies from Oxford University. It is good to know your opinion on this topic, this is mine: We are in a new Cold War. The US sees China as its enemy. Why the change? Before the 2008 financial crisis it believed China's rise was unsustainable. They were wrong; instead the 2008 crisis undermined the US. So it now sees China's rise as a threat to its global hegemony. The US cannot allow any other country to be No 1. It is part of its DNA. It is unimaginable. That is why it has turned nasty. The hysteria. The panic. The US is an extreme case of hegemonic angst. The West has ruled the world for 200 years. It cannot allow anyone to usurp it. But the writing is on the wall. The ultimate test is whether a country can deliver success for its people: economic growth, rising living standards, stability. In 1980 China was 5% of the US economy. It is now on the verge of overtaking it. It has become hugely innovative. Its tech companies rival those of Silicon Valley. That is why the US is scared of Huawei. Its education system is far superior. In the face of Covid-19, the US has failed miserably and China has succeeded remarkably. Covid-19 is a test of governance. The impact of America's failure and China's success will have huge long-term effects. The 2008 financial crisis led to a major shift in economic power from the US to China. The pandemic will produce a far bigger shift from the US to China. The US is in deep trouble: it has lost its economic dynamism, it is deeply divided, it has turned inwards, it has retreated into its bunker. It is failing. And in desperation, as its crisis grows deeper, it is lashing out and blaming China for all its problems. In addition, I would like to share a research conducted by Harvard University about Chinese Public Opinion Through Time. The results are pretty positive and reflects the great confidence that the Chinese have to their government. Here is the link: https://ash.harvard.edu/files/ash/files/final_policy_brief_7.6.2020.pdf

  122. Imagine calling it "our hemisphere" and referring to Chinas trade deals with the american countries as "eating our lunch". Can you get any more imperialistic? Your hemisphere? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of nations, (at least to the south of you), that would strongly disagree with such a statement. The hemisphere doesn't belong to USA. Also, "eating our lunch" sounds like a freudian slip that is casually admitting that the american continents is nothing more than sustenance for the USA. Absolutely awful lack of respect for other nations. Also, this constant idea of calling latin american and caribbean countries the "backyard" of the US ... It's very patronizing and disrespectful. It's like they are not "real" countries. They don't get to live along the street, so they have to stay in our "backyard". You see the exact same with the smaller pacific countries, like the Solomon Islands. They are not treated as a fellow country but as the "backyard" of Australia. And predictably, the people of that nation are getting pretty tired of being treated like that. Mia Mottley of Barbados was very clear in an interview with BBC how she felt about that characterization; pointing out that they are NEIGHBORS to the USA and should be treated as such. Smaller, yes, but no less a country than anyone else. The main reason USA is losing its grip is because they have zero diplomatic tact and skill. They have a failing economy and less and less to offer. They have a very unsteady foreign policy that changes every 4 or 8 years, often 180 degrees. Something for example Iran has gotten extremely "done" with. Also, when all their "foreign aid" consists of arming rebel groups and building american military bases, while all the actual money never leaves the USA. They end up lining the pockets of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the rest of the ghoulish death merchants over there. USA built up all its power abroad through force, or threats of force. The only reason they allied with western Europe after WW2 was to get a strategic beachhead against the Soviets. Not because they ever cared one bit about the well-being of the people in Europe. They've tried the same on all other continents, and for a while it worked. But now, there are other powers that can be much more beneficial do deal with. So why wouldn't they? China only demands that you stay out of their internal affairs, and they'll stay out of yours. With that as a basis they'll trade with you and invest in all kinds of projects. And no, it's not a debt trap. This has been debunked by economic experts over and over, yet keeps repeated in a desperate attempt to smear China. In the end, it's a VERY good deal for countries that have been bullied by USA for decades. It's the same thing in Africa where the nations still carry massive scars from western colonial times. Then in comes China and treats them like fellow nations instead of pawns. No wonder they sign onto BRI. "our hemisphere" ... don't make me vomit. (Edited for a typo that annoyed me, I meant to say all the "actual money" instead of "actualy money") Edit: Thanks for all the likes and positive responses. Glad to see that more people reacted to this blatant show of "american exceptionalism" at its worst.

  130. An interesting topic... Being an American farmer, senior citizen, and an USMC veteran I've been around the block ... :-) As for our American system being two parties, it tends to change too often to the next leader because, people dislike their past leadership. But,they don't realize that it requires a full change of leadership to reach the optimal dream of expectations. We're like a dog chasing its tail and never catching it! Nothing in the long run ever gets finished or stays in effect for the greater good of Americans. Our system is control not by the people but, by corporations only interested in stockholders profits. These are are few reasons our country has had its turning spin... After being in China since 2004 and married, that I'm able to express a little insight to their system. True it's a one party system that first thoughts are for the majority of citizens to improve their way of life for the long term. Yes, any small change will have some that dislike anything disrupting time. It's not just one man or 90 million CCP members but, a gathering of the handpicked members of the "GREAT HALL OF THE PEOPLE" each year to review the nations goals. 5000 elite performers that represent a country of nationalities coming together as one; with only the thoughts of making China better for it's people! A system from the top down to the smallest villages, citizens are asked to represent fellow neighbors to improve life overall. If one cant perform to their fullest they will be quickly be replaced and they return to their old status within their township. Remember, competition and position are things respected and taught from childhood. Ladder movements can only be done with performance and multiple acknowledgement. True the term of leadership was changed to set straight/ correct blemishes but, will return later after completion of goals. One can believe this because, you only need to look at his serving records for the people. So, it's easy to understand the WHY China has moved itself to the top position in the world of leadership! Only China has the true meaning of patriotism from its elders to their young children... they truly love their motherland, unlike no other! My journey in China has been extraordinary in many ways. Daily I'm amazed while watching as a third party; a foreigner allowed inside to experience Chinas family life of its citizens! May this enlighten some, as other still will not understand to which I feel sorry for them. Be safe and have a great day!

  461. There is an overwhelming assumption in the West that China’s Achilles heel is the state: that it lacks legitimacy. This is the underlying reason why Westerners believe that China’s transformation is unsustainable: that the political system cannot survive. It would be wrong to suggest that attitudes have not shifted: the endurance of the reform period, now over 35 years old, and the scale of its achievement have bred a growing if still grudging respect, and a less apocalyptic view of Chinese political change. Few now regard it to be imminent and many have extended their time horizons somewhat into the future. Nevertheless, most Westerners still regard China’s present political order as lacking legitimacy and as ultimately unsustainable. In the post 1945 period, Westerners have come to believe that Western-style democracy – essentially universal suffrage and a multi-party system – is more or less the sole source of a government’s legitimacy. This is a superficial and ahistorical position. Western-style democracy does not ensure the legitimacy of a regime in the eyes of its people: Italy is perhaps the classic example, with successive governments over a long historical period experiencing a chronic lack of legitimacy. And what of China? Although it does not have Western-style democracy, there is plenty of evidence – for example the Pew Global Attitude surveys and the work of Tony Saich at the Harvard Kennedy School – that the Chinese government enjoys high levels of support and legitimacy, much higher indeed than those of Western governments. How do we explain this? Clearly the reason is not Western-style democracy because China has not chosen this path. The late Lucian W. Pye, in his book ‘Asian Power and Politics’, argues that Western scholars have, in their understanding of politics, prioritised political systems over political cultures: Pye argues, correctly in my view, that the opposite is the case. His insight is highly relevant to the Chinese case. The relationship between the state and society in China is very different from that which characterises Western societies. There are three key elements. First, China is primarily a civilization-state rather than a nation-state, with the overriding and extremely difficult age-old task of government being to maintain the unity of China and its civilization. This has lent the state an enduring authority, importance and centrality in China that is very different from the Western nation-state tradition. The state is intrinsic to China in a way that this is not true in Western societies: they are, in effect, in large degree synonymous. Furthermore the Chinese regard the state in some degree as an expression and extension of themselves. Second, whereas in Western societies the state is seen in an instrumentalist and utilitarian way – in other words, what will it do for me? – in China, following from the Confucian tradition and the idea that the Emperor should model himself on the father’s role as the head of the family, the state is perceived in a familial way, whence the expression ‘nation-family’, or the idea of China as an extended family. Or, to put it another way, in Western societies the state is viewed as an external and somewhat artificial construct, for the Chinese it is an intimate. Third, a much higher premium is placed on the efficiency and efficacy of the state than in the West, whence the importance of meritocracy in the recruitment of public servants. In the West, discussion about the state largely revolves around the manner by which the government is selected, in China, by way of contrast, the competence of the state assumes priority. Fourthly, following from the previous point, the state is expected and required to deliver in China. Over the last few decades, of course, it has presided over and masterminded a huge transformation, the most remarkable in modern economic history. The contrast between the performance of the Chinese and Western economies is manifest. In summary, the relationship between the state and society in China and the West is profoundly different and the reasons lie in the historical and cultural differences between them. They can and should learn from each other but they will remain distinct. So what of the future? As I mentioned at the outset, it is axiomatic in the West that sooner or later China will face a crisis of governance that will result in profound reform along Western lines. In reality, it seems far more likely that the crisis of governance will occur in the West than China. The United States and Europe are in decline and, as a consequence, their ruling elites and political systems are already suffering from declining legitimacy and authority, a process that is likely to continue. China, in contrast, is a rising power whose ruling elite is likely to enjoy growing status and prestige as a consequence. China, though, faces its own kind of governance challenge. The country is changing at extraordinary speed. If one thinks of how the life of an ordinary person has changed over the course of the last three decades, then this is a measure of how everything else, including political rule, must also change in order to survive. Of course, transparency, representivity and accountability have been transformed since Mao’s death, but this is a dynamic process and arguably the greatest changes still lie in the future. It is not that China needs to or should change its system – it has stood the test of time and managed to stay abreast of and lead the wider transformations – but, this notwithstanding, more profound ways must be found to modernise the political system and its institutions if they are to meet the demands and expectations of a very different society.

  562. Hey Cyrus. This is actually not new. In the 60s, my cousin (he's the same age as my dad, grandpa had my dad very late in life) was one of the top talents in Hong Kong. He had a perfect score in his placement exams, according to family, he was the first to do so. He went to Stanford and finished his Bachelors in Physics in 2 years and wanted to go to Berkeley for his Masters in Physics because of Lawrence Livermore Labs but because he was of Chinese descent, the US government forbade him to study/work at Lawrence Livermore. He ended up changing to Economics where he finished his Masters and PhD in 2 years. He ended up teaching at Stanford as an Economics Professor eventually becoming a fellow, but his dreams of achievements in Physics (jet propulsion and such) was basically squashed by "national security concerns" due to his race despite becoming a US Citizen. In the late 90s, he accepted China's offer to become the Chancellor of Hong Kong Chinese University and eventually gave up his US citizenship because it was causing issues with the Americans. He went on to manage one of the largest sovereign wealth funds of China as Chairman of the HK arm. He was not credited with crafting the economic policy of Nixon's Detente with China despite the fact that in the 70s, he was the foremost American expert in regard to Asia economic development. Somebody else took the credit for that even though supposedly most of the work was done by my cousin. He has been an economic advisor to several Asian countries including working closely with prominent leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and Zhu Rongji. Imagine if his knowledge and talent was appreciated in the USA.

  748. For the ordinary Chinese citizens, people don’t really care about this so called ‘great fire wall’ bcs there are literally millions of different media, newspapers, social media channels in China with all kinds, make Chinese pretty easy to get their head around what currently happening in the world, it covers a great wide range and almost about anything, science, military, education, sports, fashions, politics, finance, investment and stock market, travel, nature beauties, luxuries, automobiles reviews, electronics, PC games, and even some ‘slight porn stuff’..... and I feel like many many Chinese citizens’ world view are pretty large and very knowledgeable, many of those have a very sharp and objective view of the world and some special events. Trust me, if you living in UK, most of the newspaper and magazines’ cover page dominated by the celebrities, entertainments, TV shows, gossip and their royal family’s stuff....but if you ever got a chance to visit China, I mean, any city, any street, even a remote countryside area, seriously I’m 100% sure you will find their street newspapers and magazines are vastly dominated by literature, history, social issues and governance, military, domestic and international politics, finance and investment, education ...... sometimes I’m so confused about which country’s social setting is fooling and entertaining its people..... freedom of speech is a good stuff, unquestionably an achievement of human society, be able to listen different views is quite important. However, the flip side of it is also pretty ugly if you think about it, with the penetration of social media, you can see how many rumors, fake news, unproved and irresponsible reporting, hatred, extremism, foolish stuff .....are actually around there, and which in turn fool our people, divide our society and create endless chaos, and finally everyone will be a victim of it. People are getting crazy, and only choose to see what they just wanna to see and refuse different point of views..... That’s why I do support the Chinese so called ‘great fire wall’ , just like a filter, only allow as many as constructive, helpful and enlightened stuff coming in.

  766. Some people on this comments section are missing the whole point ! China doesn't want the RMB to replace the dollar ! They want a fairer trading system ... currently if two countries want to trade with each other , the country buying a commodity or resource has to exchange its own currency into dollars and pay in dollars and then the recieving country receives dollars for their goods , but the dollar is worth nothing so both countries get screwed , the buying country gives away its own currency for a useless piece of paper giving the USA power to use that currency to buy up any commodities and resources that country has , and the selling country gets a useless piece of paper for their goods and is forced to spend it with the USA or pass it on to another country for other commodities, a giant Ponzi scheme where the USA is at the top , it also allows the USA to print dollars and buy goods without having to back those dollars with anything valuable , basically stealing from the world ...the system China wants is where if you want Chinese goods you buy RMB to buy those goods , if you want russian oil you buy roubles to buy that oil , if you want Argentine corned beef you buy Argentina's currency to buy that beef ....etc that way countries that produce stuff will get value in their currencies and no single country gains dominance in world trade a proper multipolar exchange is created ....Something resembling the national states of the nineteenth century but with the laws of the UN so that countries do not use Imperalism to gain a advantage , i.e. countries won't invade other countries to gain commodities of that country....

  795. I’m a U.S. citizen currently residing in China. Representative and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi should learn her history: 1867: the U.S. becomes the first country to attack China with a warship. 1874: during the Mudan incident, the U.S. supports Japan in its invasion of China. 1885: Qing Dynasty declares Taiwan a Chinese Province. 1894-1895: during the First Sino-Japanese War, the U.S. sells weapons to Japan, aiding in the defeat of China, and the ceding of Taiwan to Japan via the lopsided Treaty of Shimonoseki. 1943: The joint U.S.-British Cairo Declaration calls for all Chinese territory occupied by Japan to be returned to China upon Japan’s defeat; the Declaration explicitly mentions Taiwan. 1945: China announces the reunification of Taiwan and other territories to the mainland. 1947: An anti-government uprising in Taiwan prompts the 228 Incident, in which around 20,000 civilians were killed as it was violently suppressed by the U.S.-preferred leader Chiang Kai-shek. 1947-1990s: The White Terror repression of Taiwanese civilians by the KMT under the direct orders of Chiang Kai-shek; more than 3,000 Taiwanese were executed. 1949: the PRC is established; the Nationalists flee to Taiwan amid U.S. military intervention to stop reunification. The intervention ended up actually doing Mao a favor, as he was then able to focus on rebuilding the motherland after years of war and colonialization by other nations, including the U.S. 1978: UN Resolution 2758 gives full recognition to the PRC as the legitimate government of China, including Taiwan; the U.S. did not sign this Resolution. 2016 to today: A powerful U.S. puppet, Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party, has been disrupting reunification efforts by a supposed “independence” movement. 2022: Nancy Pelosi makes an official State visit to Taiwan. Pelosi’s visit angered the Chinese people and many peoples worldwide. Her action is recognized for what it really is: a political ploy to continue support for U.S. hegemony. She and I grew up during the formative years of the PRC, and like her, I believed like most “good Americans” that China was a rogue nation, out to capture the world and impose its communist values globally. Not once did it occur to us to question the U.S. representations as bogus: here was a nation that had just recovered from WWII, a Japanese invasion, colonialization, and a protracted civil war that lasted from 1927 to 1949; this was a nation that wanted to take over the world? I have since discovered the truths; she has not. Today’s U.S. government (aka the “Military-Industrial Complex”) continues its anti-Chinese provocations, in spite of the fact that modern China is completely different from the early China Pelosi and I had learned about. It is more out of habit than awareness of reality that drives Pelosi’s and many U.S citizen’s current views about China. Like most “aware” people, I saw her recent visit as a setback against a timely reconciliation of Taiwan and Beijing. Then I heard some additional news that altered my perception. As mentioned, many globally were angered by her visit. What caught me by surprise was how the Taiwanese public was also angry at her. There were demonstrations against her visit throughout Taiwan. What her visit has done is it has awakened the Taiwanese people’s awareness of how their province has been a pawn of U.S. hegemony, and they are now taking a second look at the virtues of reunification. Thanks to Pelosi’s otherwise ill-intentioned visit, the ongoing reunification dialogue progress between Taipei and Beijing is now likely to be accelerated rather than having a delayed resolution.

  848. Very well said Cyrus. I'm a Chinese and I received college education in the US. I think we have a lot of views in common, and here are my thoughts: Democracy is a very great idea/philosophy. BUT, there is no perfect way to achieve it, and there isn't only one way to achieve it. The American system works perfect in theory, but in reality, there are way too many "noises" that undermine it. There is a logic chain behind the idea that elections produce good results: everyone votes for their individual interests>>>majority vote represents the majority's interests>>>The leader elected will act based on majority will, and able to produce the ideal results. In fact, every single one of the three components can be undermined in practice. 1. With media force so strong, is it possible for majority voters to vote based on their TRUE, LONG TERM interests, rather than being heavily influenced by those media and make choices that are not in their interests? 2. Under the current education system is it possible for ALL voters to understand how govt works and make informed decisions? If someone does not understand it at all, should he/she be given the right to vote? Let me give you a more specific question: would you allow your neighbors, who have no knowledge of medicine, to choose the doctor who will do surgery for you? 3. What is more important for the leader of a nation? Ability to deliver a speech or ability to rule a country? The current selection criteria put an obvious focus on popularity. Are popular leaders more capable? 4. Having a loose requirement for president candidate is really a symbol of empowerment. But what actual good does it do to the nation by getting someone with ZERO EXPERIENCE to the White House? 5. In theory everyone has 1 vote. But do you really think an ordinary American has the same vote as Jeff Benzos? I mean, even if both of them can only vote 1 time, Jeff Benzos could have 10 million more ways to influence the White House. I don't even need to mention that he owns a newspaper company. Writing all those does not mean that the Chinese system doesn't have the same amount of problems, if not more. I just want to make it clear that no system is perfect, and that's why Chinese are tired of this ideological BS

  964. Sotrue. I was in Shadian, a small ( but seemed very big to me) outside Guangzhou. We had 28 days holiday during the new year period... I was quite scared at the thought of travelling alone to GuLang Yu, Xiamen and the tea mountains Mount Wuyi thinking, I couldn't read much Chinese, the country 's humongous and I didn' t know a soul. I decided on a cautious short trip... Indeed, I should have no fear. Everyone, from young, middle aged to older people was not only extremely kind and helpful: they went out of their way to make sure I was on the right connection throughout the passage of my journey back. On my return trip, the young lady at the Central station in Xiamen ticket office not only walked me round the station to put me on the rightplatform:she made sure she had another youngwoman on the HS trrain to look after me all the way to Guang zhou. I was amazed by the spontaneity, rhe speed and a kind of social guanxi with which the ticket officer had found me a buddy! She had also told me it would take only 3.5 hours from Xiamen Station to Guangzhou South Station and cost only 50 RM! It had taken, me 13. 5 hours by coach travelling at night and cost 400 RMB. ( To this day, I had wondered how the ticket officer connected me with an English speaking young graduate professional, who was already settled comfortably in her seat, so quickly. Perhaps the young professional was a frequent Sunday afternoon traveller... perhaps she had just sold her a. ticket to Guangzhou South station... Looking at the enormous crowd of thousands of people at the stations, the speed with which the ticket officer engaged the support of the very person to look after me on the train and tomake sure she directed me or put me on the next platform in Shenzhhen Is such a contradiction in numbers and personalisation. IS THIS an example of the secret of Chinese efficiency and one of the characteristic features of Chinese socialism that Prez Xi Jin Ping talked about... the contradiction in Mao's thoughts that pose problems and how to find solutions? The return train journey was a. bit more complicated. I had to continue to Shenzhen, then get the coach to Shadian. A young male student who heard I was a huachio, approached me, took me to the right ticket booth and bought my ticket for me. I really would've been totally lost if he hadn't stepped in. Then he took me all the way to the side street where the coach was. I had no idea if it was going where my college was but relieved I'd found. The coach going that way. Sitting at the backseat of a full coach, I started making a few enquiries and soon attracted the attention of the passengers sitting around me. My inability to explain my situation perfectly in Mandarin, showed me. Up as. foreigner, which always stir up. the Chinese'a compassion. Someone said my college name out loud, " Dong fang Ming Zhu.." and a young man assured me he was going that way and would help me get to my college. We went off at the wrong stop and he called for a taxi... It was quite complicated as the campus was huge like everything in China... but I. was dropped off at 2.30 am. There were two guards at the gate who let me in. I walked more than a mile through dark places with no street lamps.but comforted that I was in a gated campus... Still, walking alone in a huge campus was quite scary ona moonless night at 2.50am, a time when wandering ghosts and foxes' spirits roamed outside in Chinese ghost stories but I got to my flat my safe and sound, helped by very gentle and kind people who went out of their way to put me on the right track... I remember how everyone of them looked so clean, honest and kind. After my first long solo journey from Guangzhou to Xiamen and Gu Lang Yu, I have no fear of getting lost in China. I know for sure there will be such "guardians" to ensure travellers are put on the right tracks where ever they venture to all over China. I have experienced the totally selfless ways in which their help was given to.. take me all the way and not just some of the way. There's no love for slip shod half-bakeds pretences - like the way marriages used to. be with thhe older generation. Sotrue - China is the country of The People's Liberation Army, the altruisms of Lin Fei (need to check out the correct name of Mao's legendary hero) the PLA and the CCP... They make sure China is a caring, helpful and super efficient country. for. Chinese and everybody. Who's saying they like Chinese but not the Communists? Are THEY so naive about us and our knowledge of the true world history? That what they're saying is "We like you but not your parents."

  981. Hey Cyrus, after watching your videos on your channel I can not find any suitable words to express my gratitude to you for your fair and objective view about China. I want to say, THANK YOU Cryus, for your efforts to telling the truth. I'm Chinese from Mainland China now living in Hong Kong, so the International political situation deeply impacts my daily life as you know the HK protest which definitely incited by the CIA, ruined the order and peace in Hong Kong. I miss the old Uncle Sam. In the old-time also US and China have a difference, Uncle Sam is more comprehensive and humorous. That time is the best time for the two countries and us people. I once spent a year in 2013 living in the US as a visiting scholar in Univ. of Michigan and found the US is such a beautiful and honorable country. At that time, I drove to Washington D.C to see The cherry blossom, I drove in the State Road 1 in California to appreciate the sunset in the Pacific Ocean. I miss that beautiful time. I am so upset to see the relationship between China and the US become this tense. Now back to my personal real case that I can share with you to see how ordinary Chinese comment CCP and their political system. I was born in a small town in Sichuan Province in 1989, when I was young, life is not as easy as what it like today. Now I'm 31 years old, I witnessed the unbelievable development of my hometown and my country. Numerous sky towers have been built in my home town (it's a fourth-tier small town in Sichuan Province, not the capital city Chengdu), more and more infrastructures like high-ways, high-speed railways, 4G/5G telecom sites have been completed in a very short time which make the prosperity there. Our life is getting better and better, it's insane to make chaos and overthrow the government. CCP is doing a great job, also she has done some wrong things in historical view (like Culture Revolution, etc. I personally feel Culture Revolution has positive effects, but anyway it's not the point here), but it is unfair to demonizing CCP. She has the ability to self-correcting. Here is a metaphor, the Chinese political system is like an unlimited company, and the CCP is the permanent CEO. Since CCP has unlimited interests, and she got unlimited responsibility. Let's see the result about dealing with COVID-19, CCP is doing great. (Now I'm doing quarantine in Shenzhen as I come back to Mainland from Hong Kong and I'm happy about that since I can do my part to help control the pandemic in my country) So many things I want to share. In the last, I hope western friends please open your mind to see how real China is and try to understand how China works. Then you will have an objective view like Cyrus :) 1.4 billion people are not mentally disabled, if CCP is heinous, why she could exist for almost 99 years and get the regime from Kuo Ming Tang for 70 years? If CCP is heinous, Chinese people will be the first to overthrow her. THINK ABOUT IT! Last, I want to thank Cyrus again for upholding justice for China. Thank you very much, hoping to see more videos.

  1202. I'm with you Cyrus. Your buddy Lee beat you on this latest progress by releasing his recorded interview sooner, but I find his guest Richard extremely capable but at the same time extremely unjust. I'm with you because you advocate good things - better relationship between the US and China (also Canada). Richard does not have that goal. I've left a comment under Lee's video explaining my thoughts. His comments about the arrest of the two Michaels towards the end of that video was very concerning for me (but at the same time eye-opening in terms of how western elites like him think and see things). But it's still beneficial to let readers of this comment know that, the assumption that the US told HSBC to do certain things in order to set Meng Wanzhou up is going to remain a conspiracy theory. According to Richard and openly available documents he analyzed, HSBC went after Huawei to save its own a*s, not thinking about political consequences (well it could not have possibly predicted this outcome anyway). The US politicians saw that opportunity and took it and used it as a means to suppress China's and Huawei's advancements, thus the arrest and extradition hearing. Did the US government ever tell HSBC to do the things it did like having the meeting in HK and wiring the money through NY in USD? We'll never know because the US won't tell (unless there is a leak) and HSBC won't tell either for its own sake (again, unless there is a leak from within HSBC). But I'm with Cyrus on this: the US most likely told HSBC to frame Huawei and Meng Wanzhou in exchange for less punishment on itself for its violation of the US laws.

  1209. Cyrus, thank-you for discussing this most timely issue. As an ABC myself, my extended family is spread over the US, Taiwan, China and HK. Both grandfathers were Chinese born, one an army general and the other, an airforce colonel. Both were part of the KMT gov't and fled to Taiwan in 49'. Both believed in the eventual liberation of "Communist China", a view that they held to their graves. In contradistinction to US propaganda, you are absolutely "spot-on" regarding Taiwan's (ROC) ambivalence with regard to the reunification of Taiwan & China. Of course my family in Taiwan are very much in the KMT camp and strongly opposed to the DPP (President Tsai) who is pushing an independence agenda which most definitely doesn't reflect the majority of her constituency. As a child I remember my uncles very much supporting the KMT view about reunification and vehemently believed that they were all Chinese rather than Taiwanese as the language, culture and history (except for the 50 years of Japanese occupation) supported that contention. Over the years, they would actually return to Taiwan to vote for the KMT presidential candidates. It is clear to me that the US and President Tsai Engwen are stoking the flames of independence in an effort to "poke the Dragon" into some belligerent action. You also correctly stated that the US has a vested interest in selling arms to a wealthy Taiwan. At this point, China appears to be "sabre-rattling" with military planes and ships but does not wish to engage in a violent "take-over." China vehemently believes that this is nothing more than interference and wishes to continue to focus on its economic development. I strongly believe this is the case, and China has demonstrated extraordinary restraint by refusing to be drawn into a potentially devastating war. BTW, my grandfater, like CKS (Jiang Jieshi) were both from Ningbo. My grandfather served as his personal secretary and would later become a general in the KMT army. Although CKS could speak some English and Mandarin, it was almost unintelligible due to his heavy Zhejiang accent. I understood that his American educated wife Soong Meiling served as his English intepreter.

  1212. It's a smashing success no doubt. I can't begin to imagine what it would be like if the Olympic games were hosted by a different country. Take a look at those US/five eyes allies that've been boycotting Beijing for hosting. Any one of them can stand up to this challenge? Don't think so. That being said, I was watching the games (including opening/closing ceremonies) on CBC...I think you too right, Cyrus? and one thing I have noticed is the absolutely sharp difference between the announcers in the studio inside Canada and the reporters stationed in Beijing. The ones in Canada were praising how well the ceremonies were orchestrated on the one hand, but kept mentioning the negative "voices" about political issues on the other. They're like "oh that's pretty given the circumstances", "oh that's nice but look at the political concerns on this." THEY WERE SO SOUR the entire time. And when the camera switched to the ones who were ACTUALLY there in Beijing mingling with the athletes inside the Bird Nest stadium, you can hear a totally different tone when they express their pure joy, how excited they were about the games, the athletes, their efforts, and their dreams coming true and how genuinely joyful it was when people from different parts of the world come together. THEY WERE GENUINELY HAPPY. It's just amazing how dirty journalism has become these days under the political influences. You just can't have the pure taste of "happy" without the "sour." Thank you for this wonderful video! I am having so much fun browsing through athletes' tiktok videos where they share their real experiences at the olympic village :)

  1858. Bravo, Cyrus! China has increased its forest cover from just 12% to 23% over the last 40 years. When one takes into consideration that of China’s national frontier stretches some 9.6 square million kilometres, about the size of the United States. In other words, China has planted just over 1 million square kilometres of forest. That is the size of Egypt!   In perspective, trees renew our air supply by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. The amount of oxygen produced by one square kilometre of trees per year equals the amount consumed by 4,500 people annually. One tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen each year. One square kilometre of trees removes up to 640 tons of CO2 each year.   China is inarguably the most successful country in world to reverse the seemingly unstoppable desertification, by turning its desserts into forest, farm lands, and wetlands. The area of desertified land in the country is dropping by an annual average of more than 2,400 square kilometres, or 3 times the size of Singapore, compared to what used to be an annual average expansion of over 10,000 square kilometres at the end of the last century.   By 2014, China had completed and commissioned its mid-line stretch of the South-North Water Diversion Project. This 1,300 kilometres dedicated, largely gravitational-flow, water supply channel diverts water from the Danjiangkou Reservoir in the upper reaches of the Han River, passing through mountains; crossing rivers; and finally reaching and transferring 9.5 billion cu meters of water annually to Beijing and Tianjin.   To put that into perspective, the annual per capita water consumption of the Asian cities: Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul, and Hong Kong are at 84, 52, 104, and 80 cu meters per annum respectively; with the average consumption of 80 cu meters per annum. In other words, the amount of water transfer annually is adequate to sustain an urban population of over 110 million people with clean and potable water. In fact, China’s progress in environmental technology is so extensive and comprehensive that it accounted for a staggering 68% of all patents filed in 2018.

  1911. I really appreciate your videos, an American tells so many facts about China. As a Chinese I want to share you my thought about the relationship between America and China. I don't think it's going better in a couple of years. Let's put ideology aside, we all know that's an excuse. Here're my 2 reasons. 1, China doesn't allow international capital freely come in and out. If you know what happened in Thailand and Hong Kong in 1997, you understand what I'm talking about. 2, China wants to do high tech things like 5g, AI, America definitely tries everything to stop it. Huawei is an example. And why China do not step back? China has suffered enough, the history of humiliation reminds us again and again, even a student in school knows the reason. Basically it's all about money and capital. But the good thing is that, there should be no War between this 2 countries. The bias and fake news from the western world unite Chinese people to some extent especially after 2016. A few years ago I was very pro-America, but now I'm not. Actually I think many of western world never try to know about China, even now they regard China as their enemy. But Chinese learn English from children, learn history of the western world in school, embrace western culture, many study in America and Europe. We know much more about America. There's information asymmetry. I have read a book about Chinese history by a famous western sinologist, which even got a big award. That's the most time-wasting thing I have ever done. Maybe you hate CCP, I'm not going to say good words for CCP, but bias doesn't hurt the real thing. If you don't know about CCP, you definitely misunderstand China and your strategy simply goes wrong. The destiny of CCP and China are combined, CCP and Communist are very different things. And if you only focus on the economy of China over last 40 years, that's another mistake. Only from 1949 or further from 1921 it makes sense. Sadly very few western economists notice it. I'm not sure if they really don't know it or they just pretend not. Here is a joke, a man from Soviet Union flied to America, a customs staff asked him why you come here. The man: I come here to learn how to brainwash people. The staff: We don't have this thing in America. The man: That's it. That's what I want to learn.

  2066. I've lived in China for almost one year now and I want to share my perspective. Firstly, from what I can see Chinese people are very satisfied with their government, they address the serious issues which are important for the society as whole such as the fighting the pandemic, poverty alleviation, infrastructure and safety. Most Chinese I talk to like cab drivers always are always talking about how safe China is, how the surveillance is there to protect the people, because people know if they are being watched they don't commit crimes and I have to agree, China is incredibly safe. Secondly, I also noticed that Chinese people tend to care more about economic freedom (making money) rather than political freedom. The government does not restrict peoples ability to make money at all. Thirdly, I have not yet seen a single homeless person in China. Lastly, so sum up I think since coming to China I've realized that Chinese people are they way they are mostly due to culture and not the government. It's also important to take into account that China is very homogeneous with 97% or something being Han Chinese, similar to Japan and Korea. This means that collectivism is way more important than the individual, this by itself influences much of their thinking and values. Of course China is not perfect, like other Asian countries there is rampant competition in everything, mostly to become rich, to give an example the middle school students at the school I teach start their day at 8am and finish at 8pm, they will likely keep studying well into the night as well. This is also the norm in the corporate world, because of collectivist thought, it's very common to do overtime or work on weekends, which is usually unpaid. However this competitiveness and working attitude is likely what has made China and Korea so rich in such as short time.

  2176. THANK YOU !! - I'm so glad to finally hear someone say this out loud, from a platform with a substantial audience. And yes: the drive behind the anti-china sentiment in the western media, is jealousy. The same was the case with the cold war against the soviet union: They were achieving amazing things that we here in the west, at that time, could only dream of. And to make matters worse the reason they could do what we couldn't was that they ditched market economy and the notion that everybody had to compete, which to us, here in the west, was considered something near sacred.. I was a teenager in the 1980s, and I can tell you that back then nobody particularly cared that communism wasn't "democratic".. That wasn't really a big issue back then: After all there were still countries among our political allies against communism, that were constitutionally dictatorships, or ruled by religious priesthoods, so.. Even though of course we considered democracy ourselves and our democracy the best, the matter of what kind of system (except communism of course) was the best, was sort of still up for debate.. The fact that communism wasn't democratic wasn't a big issue. No. Their real atrocity, as far as we were concerned.. what really got our pis boiling.. was the fact that they were not market-economy. In so many words: The soviet union was pissing on our holy cow, and as if to add insult to injury they were having success with it. That's the real reason why we hated them so much that they had to be destroyed at all costs, and why we waged 70 years of cold war of economic harassment against them, so that when they finally caved in to our undermining their their economy, we could tell ourselves that it was somehow because their economic system didn't work. Which is about the worst bucket of bullsh**t, considering the fact that they managed to not only rebuild after WW2 (without the marshall help from the US, that the western european countries had had to lean on), not to mention having to keep up with the extremely expensive nuclear arms race that we were pushing on them, but even had the surplus to thrive and prosper. Market economy was a holy cow to us, and we just couldn't take it that over there in the east they were having success with a different model. And we still can't take it that China has not toed the line but continue to call their system communism. It hurts our pride, and they even have success with it.. And we just can't take it.

  2208. Just wanna share some points on my own point of view: - Besides IPSOS, Kennedy School of Harvard University (obviously a renown American university) conducted a decade long study on whether Chinese people are happy with the levels of Government in China since 2003. The latest report was released few months ago and indicated 93.1% people were happy with the central government. Read page 3 and you'll see Table 1: Overall Satisfaction by level of governments 2003-2016. https://ash.harvard.edu/files/ash/files/final_policy_brief_7.6.2020.pdf - I grown up in HK, got my Canadian citizenship 30 years ago and now living in Beijing. My parents are still in Toronto and I visit them every one or two years. My parents are getting old, really old so I try to make this every year despite I hate long distance flying. If one day they parted us, I think I'll give up my Canadian citizenship as I no longer feel myself belongs to there anymore. - It is not easy to be a member of CPC. You have to go through some procedures, like taking lectures and pass some tests, plus joining some activities to contribute yourself and prove yourself is a value to the party. - The late pandemic also is a showcase how the organization and executive capabilities of CPC. They can built 2 fully capable hospitals in Wuhan in 2 weeks, reorganized and shifted the manufacturing capacity to the PPEs, organized all necessary vital logistics in the whole country of 1.4 billion people. Since I came from HK, I'll be treated as international travel if I travel back to HK under the one country two system base. My travelling document to China is going to expire in a few months. Under normal situation I have to travel to HK to renew it. Since the Pandemic still not under control in HK, I need to be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival. Now the Chinese government just announced a new policy in early Sept, anyone from HKSAR (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region) whose travelling document needed to be renewed but was stuck in China can apply the renew in local immigration office in China. The office will coordinate with parties concern to renew the document and send back the new document to the applicant's address in China. Can you imagine what kind of relief is this to me? I can save the travelling time and expense plus the time for quarantine! If you have a government taking care of you to this level, would you be happy? I really fed up with those people who claimed they didn't hate Chinese people, just the Chinese government. They know nothing, absolutely nothing about China!

  2242. CYRUS Janssen, wishing you, your family, community and Country a very happy, peaceful and highly inspiring mid- Autumn ( 15 full moon of the 8th moon/month). It's great you have a liking for moon cakes, esp. the lotus paste (sweet) with double duck egg yolks(salty). I saw videos about how foreign expats run away for miles when offered the double duck-egg yolks in lotus paste! (Watch YouTube Mamahuhu's comedy videos) I personally prefer the sugar free plain red bean, lotus paste, mixed nuts, durian... moon cakes. Moon cakes from Suzhou are quintessentially light, slightly fragrant lotus paste ( made from seeds of lotus flower bulbs) and wafer thin, flaky pastry... It really makes you feel like you're buying into piece of lunar confectionary... so scrumptious. I hope your fans from Suzhou will send moon cakes from Suzhou for you to appreciate the refined Suzhou culinary culture. I dream of spending a night eating moon cakes, drinking tea, writing poems, watching Suzhou opera with friends or strangers from the open borders realms, while children go round the community with colourful, lighted, magical lanterns. Then when our creative rictual of the lunar celebration is over , I will play the piano and the great music of Chopin, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and the other western composer's great music, blues, jazz, Eastern and western folk, pop and dance music throughout the quiet night into the early hours of the Dawn chorus... I don't mind being alone but. I'd love to play for a non- interfering audience... I love people who will listen to me playing piano music. This is my dream of having a fantastic mid autumn celebration in China. Cyrus, You have a beautiful mind and love in your heart, expressed in your generous gifts of moon cakes to the lucky people living in your Community... and the responsibility you have for your wife, 3 children and 2 countries - the US and China. I wish some people living in London will follow your example when celebrating the midAutumn Festival here in Chinatown, UK. May goodness, kindness and good deeds spread like wild fires in our humanity!!! Aa child, I loved to take my lighted lantern out and walked it round the community, meeting and making new friends, finding delights inthe oncoming flow - the magical appearances of colours, flowers, animals, all kinds of shapes and creations in the lighted lanterns our parents bought us for the 15 of the 8th moon night. My most memorable lantern was a grand one with 4 white moon gates and a Circle of the Chinese horoscope of 12 animals turning round the global scope of our journey round the solar system and stopping when someone has made contact with the moon for an oracle. Chinese people should come forth and describe their childhood experiences of the many celebrations, everyday of the calender YEAR so the inherent communication with nature, the cycles of the earth' s seasonal and cosmic evolution between us, the humans and the elements and forces will spin and connect with the heavens and earth to mark the evocations of our prayers, chanting and mantras for blessings, love, peace, honour, respect, law and order and the continuation of our maintenance of our divine inheritance of the one and truly civilised society of oneness, unity and sharing... coming from the thoughts of celebrating mid-Autumn in September 2020 with Cyrus Janssen and the illuminating future years for our later generations... Anne T..

  2393. If you are an American, I would like to ask you a few questions: Has the interference of the United States with other countries been approved by you? 2. If you do not agree with the US policy, such as assisting Ukraine, can you change it by voting or demonstrating? 3. Will old infrastructure, poor public transportation, and high living costs be improved due to your dissatisfaction? As an American, you have so-called democracy, but do you think you can solve the problems currently facing the United States through democratic voting? If you have the ability to leave the United States and live in other countries, I think it is a very wise choice. When will Americans understand that your proud voting rights cannot change anything? Perhaps you will say that you have chosen the wrong person this time and will choose again the next time, but I want to say that even if you vote a hundred times, things will not change because voting is the biggest lie. You may oppose military intervention in other countries, can your vote change this policy? You may be against firearms or drugs, can your vote solve this problem? You may feel hopeless about dilapidated infrastructure or high living costs, can your vote solve all of this? You may support freedom of speech, believe that TikTok should not be banned, or that this means of intervening in the free market should not be used, but can your vote bring about change? When will Americans understand that the so-called American Dream, the so-called freedom and democracy, is a complete lie. The beautiful life you once had was only because during the Cold War, in order to prove that the American system was superior to the Soviet Union, the upper echelons had to give some benefits to ordinary people, including the coveted quality of life that the United States had in the following decades, which relied on plundering the resources of developing countries. As more and more third world countries began to become independent, this operation of sucking others' blood to support Americans could no longer continue. When you sit at home watching TV, CNN and other media keep telling you how bad certain countries are and how superior the United States is, do you really want to continue believing these lies? Go investigate how many inhumane acts the United States has done since the end of World War II. I believe you will be shocked, such as the Ohio train derailment explosion last year, the fire on Maui Island, and even a small island with a bunch of little girls. You know, I can't say too much about this. How many times have these things happened, but without exception, they quickly disappear from people's sight. When you carefully investigate these past cases, you will understand that the so-called free and democratic America is a lie, and so many bad things that have happened are covered up by powerful media machines. TV programs still tell you how beautiful America is, how just America is, and how superior America is. This contrast is even more chilling than horror movies.

  2519. Here's the top answer from Quora by Shun Lü for the question IN WHAT WAY IS CHINA DOING BETTER THAN THE WEST: One thing that doesn’t get talked about is how well China has managed to avoid the kind of cultural atomization that the internet age has brought about in the Western world. This is a weird one to explain. Hold on. Before the internet, American mainstream culture was mainstream. Unless you paid for cable, there were only a dozen or so channels to watch on TV and only about 3 or 4 of them presented political programming like news or talk shows. Believe it or not, there was a time when parents and kids in the US shared roughly the same world view and wouldn’t try to murder each other 5 minutes into any political discussion. Fringe ideas like anti-vax, flat-earth, creationism etc. were not given a voice (at least not a credible one). This kept the nation on the same page culturally. And given that most families shared a TV or two, kids and parents consumed the same content, ensuring cultural continuity between generations. The internet and smartphones have changed all this. Americans now all live in their own personal cultural bubble. Families no longer agree on the same basic set of facts because everyone has a algorithm-driven, highly personalized social media feed selling them a completely unique world view. This has lead to political polarization, social dissonance, and societal breakdown. There is no such thing as “mainstream culture” anymore in the US, or much of the Western world. Bizarre meme movements like the Boogaloo Boys are only possible in a society where every fringe idea can find a microphone online. — In China, there are more smartphones and internet users than anywhere else in the world, but mainstream culture is still very mainstream. Internet media is closely monitored and regulated. Fringe theories, even ones that have nothing to do with modern China or the CPC, are censored. The govt even mobilizes celebrities to promote the kind of mainstream thinking they want the populace to adopt. Believe it or not, time travel is a big genre in Chinese TV dramas. However, even here the CPC has regulations. There are strict guidelines how just how far a show is allowed to distort history, even history from centuries or millennia ago that have nothing to do with the CPC. The goal is to ensure everyone has an accurate understanding of Chinese history. There’s still a huge cultural generational gap for sure, but not nearly at the same level as in the West. Parents and kids can at least still agree on things like how many genders there are, and whether or not vaccines will cause autism. Another seemingly excessive rule in Chinese entertainment is that video games are not allowed to depict real world nations fighting each other. This is why games use pseudo flags or pseudo names to represent real nations. The goal here is to minimize violent nationalism. For a while there was even a ban on naming real world assets based on internet memes. China bans weird and long company names China's ban on names such as "scared of wife" or "prehistoric powers" comes after a crackdown on what Beijing regards as strange buildings. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40945179 This one is hard to enforce of course, but it goes to show the extent to which the CPC wants society to stay on the same page. No one over 40 is likely to get silly internet meme references, so naming real world buildings after them would just provide a further point of division between generations. — Of course, every Westerner reading this is furiously typing: oMg that SOUnds lIKE an oRwElLIAn nIgHtmARE!!! Of course it does to you. You’ve been brainwashed from birth to believe that freedom of speech and expression is somehow sacrosanct. You can’t actually present a logical justification for why there should be total freedom of speech, you just believe it axiomatically. I’m not going to try and convince you that you’re wrong. That is impossible, because this is your religion. I can no more convince a nun that God isn’t real than I can convince you that freedom of speech has no practical benefit to society. Just know that the ultimate result of your sacred “freedom of speech” is a world where your mother is your mortal ideological enemy, and the only people who share your particular world view are all in the same subreddit.

  2602. As a Chinese you hit all the right notes. here's a comment I made in another video about the Chinese political structure that might give you more ideas from the cultural aspects of it. One of the biggest misrepresentation of China in the west is that they claim they are just anti-CPC and not anti-China, the problem is the Communist Party of China represents all Chinese. 1) Communist Party of China represents the entirety of China because it's not a political party, it's a ruling organization, or ruling class that allows people from all walks of life who are good enough to join and govern the country (Meritocracy). A political party requires constituencies, and a clear ideological textbook translated into policy, CPC has no implemented ideology. their policy involves Whatever works. The CPC by having over 90 million members that comes from all sectors of the Chinese society, makes CPC fundamentally different from other political parties, in that they form the bureaucracy that govern the country, normally a political party and professional bureaucrats are 2 separate entities. but in China they are the same. In China there is also no politicians, people who govern do not play politics or partisanship. Xi jinping and the members of the central government is rank 1 administrators, while a new member of the Party who might be an office clerk at a government agency is rank 27. People in the West simply cannot get their head around this idea of not having politicians running the country, but that's exactly the case in China. People governing China are Professional Administrators. This is just a modernized version of the Imperial Bureaucratic system. 2) The ideology of the CPC also makes them representative of the Chinese civilization. ever since Emperor of Qin unified China in 221 BC, China has been governed by 2 prominent ideologies, Confucianism and Legalism, during the Imperial era, Confucianism stresses social hierarchy, and social harmony, it sees the State as an extension of the family, Legalism uses the law the enforce order in society, Confucianism is the idealistic view of the world, while Legalism is the realist view. Mao once said "Through a hundred generations we are still governed by the laws of Qin", He hated Confucianism so the preferred Legalism and admired the first emperor of China, Emperor Qin shihuang. To this day, the CPC governs China according to these 2 philosophies, The Harmonious society (Confucian) was the corner stone of Hu jintao's administration, and the phrase "Govern the Country according to Law" (Legalism) was quoted by Chinese media and Xi jinping for literally thousands of times. These 2 pillars combined with socialism forms the governing philosophy that rules China. So Socialism with Chinese characteristics, is essentially Chinese Confucian-Legalism with Socialist characteristics. This is why framing CPC as the Civilization Party of China is easier to define the Party in a western understanding of the world.

  2617. Cyrus, I appreciate all the work that you're doing on this YouTube project, spreading knowledge and understanding about differences in culture and political history and traditions of the two great national economic superpowers. Both great nations have had their ups and downs both internally and in relation to one another. It's not a "good guy" vs. "bad guy" situation. It's more like two essentially good people who each have their flaws trying to find a new mutually beneficial way forward together. The renewal that is taking place is personal. It's reducable to the love of one man and one woman, but it can include and uplift everyone: whole nations, the entire world. In my view, China is in an excellent position to advance this renewal not through more of the same economic or political imperialism that other nations have sometimes used, but to be a mirror and helper, a leader, who can remind each nation what's so good and beautiful about its own cultures and traditions. That what's so wonderful about China. It is one nation, but it has two systems and different languages, many different cultures and traditions, all while being true to the one China principle. I expect and anticipate China's full, active and exuberant cooperation in the renewal underway, keeping it ordered, strategic, benevolent, and goal-oriented, while also allowing it to be creative and free, releasing in a productive way all the energies of the human spirit. I count China as a dear friend and partner in our "peach garden covenant." I very much want to see brother Russia vindicated and praised for his intelligence, courage, principled wisdom and sacrifice. Thank you Cyrus. Keep up the outstanding work. Every bit counts. This is a story worth telling, a story that our time needs and that will be treasured by generations to come. May the peace of the son of heaven be upon your ancestors and may his blessings be upon you and your descendents.

  2690. Hi Cyrus, This is the best ever speech about China I have ever seen, you answered every single myth about China in this speech with confidence and I can tell because you spent 10 years living in China. The arguments are so accurate I have no words but give you thumbs up. I have lived in Australia for over 16 years now, I think China doesn't have a wall blocking 14 billion people from the outside world, the west however has a huge wall blocking everyone from knowing the truth of China, it is the "Western Media", like you say in the video, Chinese travel around the world and see things themselves, almost all Overseas students misses their hometown because there are just so much more things to do and eat in China where in the west it's utterly boring most of the times. The Western Media tells lies and report by reading articles from the internet, they report based on information from a third party source instead of getting the first hand information themselves. Being able to read Chinese and English, it is so sad that the western people are actually living in the dark being fooled around by the media which is properly somehow controlled by the government. People here have a negative attitude towards China so they are not willing to travel there at all. And when you say things like these on the internet, there will be people jumping out and say "if you don't like Australia then go back to China". I have no idea what they mean, I thought this is a free country, but I keep getting told what to do or I should leave the country. And the reason so many people like to travel to Australia or America because in China they are promoted as paradises on TV so people dream of going to these countries. On the other hand the west reports China as evil, selfish and insecure so people are not willing to travel there. I really hope your video can reach out to more people, that photo of fishing villiage and the current Shen Zhen is amazing, I grew up in the village SheKou, look at it now it has become one of the most expensive and luxurious places in the whole city.

  2907. Hi Cyrus, let me first applaud you on your video, I've watched a few of them and come to love your knowledge and passion for China, you're more knowledgeable about China than most westerners. However, please watch the playlist I've compiled about the US and it's relations with China and Russia. This series of videos just might be the best and most informative bit of information you'll ever see about what's going in the world geopolitically in the last 75 years since the end of WW2. Please pay attention to what Caleb Maupin (the guy in the 1st two videos) is saying, better yet, watch the playlist multiple times until things starts sinks in, especially about the American middle class as we're now also being targeted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpNsXcwHhrU&list=PL-5HgHjt5rNCmj2KDask1bX6xJaXJsMQo&index=1 If the link isn't working, just look for the playlist titled "This is why Xinjiang is targeted by the US (MUST WATCH)!!!" In case you haven't figured it out yet, America is not run by the president or congress, this country has become an oligarchy controlled by the US Federal Reserve run by Wall Street Bankers. Took me awhile to figure that out and I've been living here in California for the last 51 years. China and the US (the Fed) have two different approaches at economic prosperity that are of contrast at opposite ends of the spectrum. The US must destabilize the economies of other countries in order to stay wealthy, while China on the other hand is working to promote prosperity among other countries along the Belt and Road Initiative. Because of that, China has become a threat to US hegemony around the world. When China was a poor country back in the early 70's during Nixon's visit, it had over 800 million people living in deep poverty so it wasn't a threat. It's why the US welcome China with open arms as a friend. But now that China is an economic superpower pushing the Belt and Road Initiative to spur other countries' economy, China has become a threat to their agenda. The videos in the playlist will elaborate on it. Please pay attention to what Caleb said about the American middle class being under attacked. US foreign policy is still focus is still on the world and the Middle East to destabilize countries like Lebanon and Iran, but the primary focus has now shifted to China and the American people to make us all poor. These Covid-19 lock downs, BLM protests, mass shooting in the US and arsons around the world, particularly in the western US are to bring down the economy and make more people poor. Cyrus, please spread this bit of information, it's best for the world to know what's going on.

  2974. I'm an American-born Chinese and have lived in Hong Kong since 1993. I 100% agree with all you've presented so well in this video. The new National Security Law is much needed (and long overdue) to bring peace and stability back to HK. Despite the lies the Pan-Dems and Western media and politicians have been relentlessly spouting, many Hongkongers fully support the law. And, no, this new law will NOT "end" Hong Kong as the opposition likes to say - on the contrary, THEY the protesters and opposition with their lies, violence, rioting, and terrorism for months on end have ended HK. They're the ones who - under the guise of a "pro-democracy movement" - have chased away mainland Chinese and all visitors, investments, killed businesses and jobs, and made HK much LESS free and safe. It has been a totally unsustainable situation here. This law offers hope for peace and stability to give HK a chance to restore its economy and former prosperity and glory. You might agree: If living in HK was "oppressive" and I didn't have the same or more freedoms as in the US, no way would I still be living in HK. The truth is, IMO - without the protests and rioting - living in HK is way safer than the US and I have the same if not more freedoms. It depends on your definition of "freedoms" but near the top of my list is safety and security, good environment and infrastructure, and good and affordable healthcare. And consider this: With the coronavirus still raging on in most countries, would you feel safer living in HK or the US right now (have a look at country COVID stats)? Cyrus, thank you for this great video that presents the facts and truth.

  3024. I have been an expatriate in Singapore and China. China and Singapore have a similar government system. This is no coincidence, Lee Kuan Yew once said it’s the visit by Deng Xiaoping to Singapore in 1978 that inspired him to adopt the model in his country. There’s election in Singapore, but the PAP is so dominant and the media is so well controlled by it, that Singapore is effectively one party country. I was born in Malaysia and being raised to believe in democracy. After living in Malaysia, Singapore, and China, I realised what I was taught was not entirely correct: 1. In most, if not all countries, there are fewer intelligent people than less-intelligent people. Since a democracy is a system where 2 idiots out-vote 1 smart person, democracy favours less-intelligent people’s decision. 2. Three preconditions for a democracy to function: a) no money politics. b) complete news freedom. c) a population with more smart people than less smart people. When money comes into politics, a) & b) are destroyed and a democracy becomes a plutocracy or a kleptocracy. There’s very few country that satisfy c). 3. When a party wins an election by a small margin, the legitimacy of the win is low, because the result could go either way. When a party wins by a large margin, and the legitimacy of win is high, but it becomes a one party rule, because during the running of the government, the opposition has a small voice. So it’s self-contradictary. Also, when the result of the election is 51:49, it only represent half of the population’s interests. 4. In a democratic system, in the beginning, people choose the leader based on impression, not on the results. Election campaigns are superficial efforts where the better funded or the better marketed parties have an upper hand. For example, no one knew how Trump would perform as a President, he did not even have experience in managing a village. It’s only AFTER he became a president that people knew about him, and damage was already done. In a social-meritocratic system the leader has to work his way up and backed by a good track record. 5. In a multiparty system, the country is divided right from the start. The sole aim of all parties is to win the next election. The parties bring along their supporter and people are then divided, and they waste a lot of time in constant fight and accusation. The US is currently at this state, it’s a divided nation. In Singapore and China. There’s much more political and social harmony. In democratic countries, political atmosphere often turn hostile and toxic. Racial issues are often used as weapon to gain support, resulting in less harmonious society. The level of trust in the society is low, especially towards the government. Take the pandemic as an example, in many democratic countries, when the governments told the people to wear masks, all kinds of conspiracy theories emerged, many people did not corporate. In China and Singapore, the people just followed the instructions because they trust the governments. Socialism follows a simple idea: “We can’t build when we are constantly in a fight. It’s when everyone work together, that we can build.” 6. Democratic countries face difficulties in implementing big changes. Plans, no matter how good they are, don’t get passed without a majority support. It’s natural for the opposition to not support any plans by the ruling party. Because their gain is our lost. As a result, many democratic countries suffered from stagnation. Democracy is a safety first approach, but the price to pay is very high. It’s akin to a person is afraid to fall, so he refuse to cycle or ride a motorbike, instead he choose to walk. 7. Mentality of the politicians. In many democratic countries, it’s difficult to get policies implemented, the politicians instead resort to superficial work to please the people, instead of digging down to real fundamental things that may not bear fruit in short time. The politicians in a democratic system tend to have a mentality of a contractor who serve a contract. The mentality of the leaders in Singapore and China are more akin to a father in a family. This is very important, only politicians with real sense of responsibility would sacrifice themselves for the people. 8. In many democratic countries, after an election, many policies are changed, and many projects are thrown away. 9. Lack of long term plans in democratic countries. When one party doesn’t know how long it will stay in power, and policies often get canceled if the opposition win, long term plans are scarce. In China and Singapore, there are long term plans in place. That’s why they grow more rapidly than democratic countries. In 1978, China and India had the same GDP. Today China has 4.7x the GDP of India. 10. In a democratic country, how a citizen’s voice is heard is by the government? Every 4 or 5 years, citizens of a democratic country say: “I like you” or “I like someone else” in an election. That’s all. And there’s no guarantee the new government is better. In China, there’s a feedback system via a hotline by dialing #12345, where the citizen could use for complains. An officer is assign for every case and the response is timed. All cases are recorded in a central database. Most of the time problems are solved in a few days. The open cases are then analyzed in the background, if there are of high occurrence, a policy is studied, tested and roll-out in the region. The citizens will be called again after a specific time to check if their problems are solved. This way, the performance of each local government is accessed by the central government. This to me, is the new and advanced democracy for the 21st century. One which operates on a daily basis and one that listen to the specific needs of the people. Far superior than protests. 11. In Singapore and China. The government controls capitalism. While in many democratic countries, capitalism controls the government. Look at how the corporates have hijacked the political system in America. America is a corporate dictatorship where the Rich has TWO parties and the people effectively having NONE. 12. Democratic election is like a company without a HR. All the people in the company including the cleaners can vote for the CEO. A meritocratic system is like a company which the CEO is chosen by the HR. 13. There’s a wrong assumption that a democracy is less corrupted due to existence of check and balance mechanism. Singapore is authoritarian, but it has one of the cleanest governments in the world. Similarly, it’s untrue to assume the abuse of power only exist in a authoritarian system. My democratic country had a dictator for 22 years. Indonesia had a dictator Suharto for 3 decades. They won every election by buying votes and by controlling the media. In the US, there’s a corporate dictatorship. 14. By giving the right for the people to vote, the rich corporates make the people forget they have one powerful tool: revolution. In a democratic system, after one party is changed, the money moves to the other side. The rich aren’t afraid of a democratic system. In China, the government has to perform, for if they have done badly, a revolution awaits. And the country start anew. Just like we have seen throughout the history of China. Is the system in Singapore and China suitable for other countries? Definitely not. It would only suit countries with a Confucianism root like China or with traditional social values like the Scandinavians,. And it’s not suitable for societies which demands individual freedom above all else. What if the leader happens to be a bad one? Few people know what is the system like in China. The Chinese have very long term plans. Every five years, they come out with a 5-year plan which is very detailed. These plans are advised by the various functional bodies in the country, using data and scientific ways, to cater for the need in the future. Everyone can see the details of the plan, and the rest of the 5 years, it’s just implementation. No one sits above this, not even the country leader. That’s why after one chairman is gone, the policies get carried on. In summary, is democracy the best system? Definitely not. Is socialism the best system? Definitely not for most countries. What is the best system for most countries? It doesn’t matter. A system is as good as the practitioner, nothing is automatically good. The biggest mistake many countries make is, when things don’t work, nothing is changed, and people still get trapped in ideological dogma. Remember, the success of China came after ditching ideologies for pragmatism, and if there’s a name of the system in China, then it’s called “Whateverworkism”.

  3071. Bravo Cyrus ! Applause for your impartial views & amazing videos . You are right on re Chinese leaving US to return home after the Covid 19, Racism , Colour Revolution globally & evil side of America cuz my family is amongst the many that have given up our passports & green cards ! America should be grateful to you for showing the World that there are still some American Angels not all Devils , Demons, Trolls ! Riots in Hong Kong made me realised that I do love my country more than I know...seeing how people was torched & burned alive , an elderly cleaner passer-by killed by rioters‘ brick , lots of unarmed citizens severely wounded & their skulls cracked , pro-China shops being badly vandalised, Storming of our HK Parliarment broke my heart . More than grateful for Enforement of National Security Law by our Central Government for Hong Kong & hopefully would halt some of the terrorists’ activities . Chinese is non-aggressive, a bit passive & non- proactive ....not in a role of instigating attacks or wars of any sort, nor picking fights nor colonisation adverse... BUT as the way you pointed out, we have unified to protect China our beloved country from all these ABUSES . Ask any decent Chinese ( not paid rioters ) whether they prefer Trump Adminitraton that simply mudered their citizens or Brois Johnson government that would stand-by to watch the dying of her Nationals ? Will make effort to learn Chinese culture more & make frequent visits to mainland in the near future after Covid 19. Happy for Chinese residing on Mainland & wish I can travel all over China one day. 👍👍👍

  3095. Hi Cyrus, i am from Singapore. We have always been called a policed state and had an authoritarian government. It was never the case. We have freedom, just that we cannot abuse it and criticism must be constructive. We are not perfect but we focus on first principle (Not democracy) which was to achieve an outcome that benefitted Singaporean. Another important thing was the media, we are not allowed to drive any narrative that compromises racial harmony and promotes facts and stability including propagating good governance at all state level, social and academic institutions, religious space and the commerce arena. I was glad that our founding fathers laid down good foundations for us to build upon and we constantly must tweak to conform to the expectation of the newer generation without de-stabilizing the very pillars and anchors that built us since our founding. I went to America in the 80s for a month to consider studying there. I saw many negative things there which were finally uncovered during trump years. Then, I decided to remain in Singapore. America is not bad, but what i saw in New York was not what i like. I was not allowed to wander at 7pm on the streets by my American relatives. That itself among other reasons was a good enough reason for me that made me decided Singapore was a better place. American people are in general very nice but the social system was broken. It was then, and it still is. Is fair to say China rise mirrored us except that the dynamism of the chinese are frightening and far-reaching. While USA is arguing and finding a bridge between wearing a mask and freedom (I pity Dr Fauci) china has more or less recovered with proper ring-fencing measures in place to fight the next pandemic and of course flying rockets to space..during this time. The difference is stark. If only the american media allow airtime to Chris Hedges, Jeff.Sachs and Richard Wolff and of course both of you, it will probably mitigate the damage that has been created by toxic politics and military interventions over the years and sad to say currently GOP is expediting the decline (Ted, Abbott, Santis...), but i love Bernie and Mitt. In short, we do not want a failed america but given the current state of dis-unity in America which drives it global approach to politics that will ensure the govt of the day gets the vote and stay in power, i am quite pessimsitic.

  3180. Dear Cyrus, I recall that you had said that even your mom is considering buying a gun. That is how sad the situation in America is today. Without exception, each time when a bloodbath occurs in a civilian setting, the debate over gun control in the United States will intensifies; but only to subside into a whisper. Truth be told, when the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, that protects the individual right to keep and bear arms, was ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights, the nation was only a federation of 14 states, with a population of only about 4 million. At the time the Second Amendment was written, the United States had just triumphed over the British in the Revolutionary War. And the firearms those days have to be loaded one round at a time, with the average rate of fire of 3 to 4 rounds per minute. The damage that can be inflicted by these muskets and flintlock pistols were nothing compare to the semi- and fully-automatic weapons that are easily available today. But why can’t America rein in individual right to own gun? The Americans were sold, and bought into the grandiose delusion the United States of America is that shining ‘City upon a Hill’ — a beacon of democracy. Americans were sold on the idea that it was they who would choose their government. And the government they had chosen will be, as what Abraham Lincoln had famously proclaimed 150 years ago, “the government of the people, by the people, for the people”. But closer to the truth, the powers that be within the Washington Beltway is a government of the 1%, and for the 1%! Undeniably, the oligarch-controlled American propaganda machines have had tremendous success in the mass-manufacturing of “living dead” — creatures that are capable of movement but not of rational thought. Thanks in no small way to the mainstream media and Hollywood. Media indoctrination has been effective means for the 1% to control the other 99%. Constantly proselytised and indoctrinated, unsurprisingly, the Americans had excepted as gospel —democracy means the right to vote in political elections; and the right to choose a President to lead the country every 4 years. But truth be told, the right to vote in political elections is only a process, and not the end in itself. Can a competent government be admitted to office when the choice of candidates on offer are metaphorically ‘primates from the same circus’? Between a Democrat and a Republican’s candidate, there is no lesser evil. More unfortunately, the allegiance of those elected lies with the hands that ‘feed’ them — the oligarchy. Conspicuously, it serves the oligarchy that the powers that be within Washington Beltway stay with these two self-serving gangs. For they would continue to dance to their tune premised on the ‘cosy’ exchange relationship that benefits both. Meritocracy is ostensibly not part of their grand plot. Unfortunately, the price to pay for the lack of congruence of adjectives amongst the constituents of the political power base — deeply divided by the oligarchs and partisan politics — is a dysfunctional government. As the oligarchs and their subservient political elite compete to outdo each other in order to perpetuate their own vested interest, it crowded out the larger interest of the nation. Especially, the 99%. Short of a miracle, America is doomed to be heading south. And doomed to be the proverbial ‘nation of sheep ruled by wolves.”

  3290. Wow, Geng Shuang's answer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, really can not be considered playing. Please see the translation. ---------------------------------- At the Foreign Ministry's regular press conference, several reporters asked Geng Shuang: US President Trump said that the United States still wanted to send its own investigators to China to investigate the epidemic-related situation, and said that the United States was always discussing this issue and negotiations in China. Trump said that if China had the responsibility for spreading the virus, it would have to bear the consequences. In addition, two members of the US Congress initiated a bill in Congress that requested that US citizens and local governments be allowed to sue the Chinese government for spreading the global epidemic caused by WHO which misled China. Do you have a comment? Geng Shuang's Answer: Viruses are the common enemy of all humanity, and can appear anytime and anywhere in the world. Like other countries, China has been attacked by a new corona virus. He is the victim, not the perpetrator, nor is the "collaboration" of the virus. In 2009, H1N1 flu was first diagnosed in the United States and spread over a large area, spreading to 214 countries and territories, resulting in the deaths of nearly 200,000 people. Has anyone asked the US to provide compensation? In the 1980s, AIDS was first discovered in the US and spread throughout the world. I don't know how many people suffer from illness. Is anyone looking for mistakes from the US? In addition, a few days ago, Ma Kaishuo, a professor at Singapore National University, said in an interview that the financial turmoil in the United States in 2008 and the collapse of Lehman Brothers finally turned into a global financial crisis. Does anyone ask the United States to bear the consequences? The United States must understand that their enemy is a virus, not China. Geng Shuang's answer was very clear, that China was a victim of a new crown virus, not the culprit, nor was it the "collusion" of the virus. If Trump and Pompeo do not feel guilty for the parents' madness, then they must know that China is not a country that is allowed to be trampled by "a coalition of 8 countries." China is not Iraq, Venezuela, Syria or you. Come whenever you want, check if you can. China is innocent, but you are not qualified. In the initial stages of the epidemic, we took the initiative to invite WHO and Chinese experts to conduct joint inspections in the area of ​​the epidemic, and propose the results of preliminary examinations about outbreaks and the spread of new coronaviruses. The inquiry request made by Trump is purely unreasonable and is a manifestation of hegemony. As an international organization they are better than the US and all humanity, and it seems that only they can be trusted. And is the United States really credible? Iraq and Venezuela are the biktis. And their appearance is also recognized in the US. In the current epidemic, American politicians do not concentrate on organizing war against viruses, but throwing pots everywhere, instead of telling the truth to Americans honestly, but they brag about themselves every day, which actually kills people and builds their own president's image with American corpses. For the sake of the throne.   We must warn Trump that if we count with the Chinese abacus, it is best for him to think about it again. Because 1.4 billion people will not agree, 2 million Chinese soldiers are not decoration, but the Great Wall of China steel. Chinese Dongfeng missiles are not used to sweep, but to fight wolf dogs. Chinese nuclear submarines are not used to travel on the seabed, but to combat uninvited guests. Chinese nuclear weapons are not used to frighten anyone, but to guard. Anyone who wants to feel something, think about it, tell me.   We want to warn Trump that if China wants compensation, it will be calculated from the moment the Force 8 Force invaded China, and counts up to several cases that Geng Shuang has just proposed. You will compensate for the old historical accounts of China and the world first. We want to warn Trump that if he wants to investigate the epidemic in China, please explain how many people died in the US in 2019 due to New Coronary Pneumonia, and why a third generation of New Coronaviruses appeared in the United States. What is clear is, first explain the condition and whereabouts of five patients participating in the Wuhan Military Games, then explain the reasons and consequences of the sudden closure of the Fort Dietrick biology laboratory. Also explain why you behaved like that at the beginning of the outbreak. This makes perfect sense, but the results are counterproductive.   We have to warn Trump that when China suffers from 7 epidemics, he feels very lucky and happy, and he has put all the despicable means to the surface, and he wants to kill China. The way he thought was known to everyone. The Chinese and the world will not forget that. There is an old saying that is famous in China: "sooner or later he has to pay back". Sooner or later this account will be calculated by himself. We must warn Trump, because his arrogance, ignorance and selfishness have wasted a period in which China has made great sacrifices for the world. And Americans have been infected by almost one million people and more than 50,000 have died. Human life is lost only to him. His blood debt to the Americans will surely come to collect him. Trump, please do something yourself.

  3383. It's the second time I watched your video. To be honest, I am so moved. You understand well about China and Chinese people. Really wish more people from the west could understand that there's not necessarily only one single standard of freedom or democracy on this planet. China has been invaded and colonized for over a century, during which Chinese people were living in misery. Actually, China has tried various ways of managing the country in that century, including the western democracy, but all ended up in failure and Chinese people could never get rid of poverty and misery life until the emerging of CPC. CPC is not perfect, which was acknowledged and mentioned time and time again by CPC leaders. That is exactly the reason CPC has been staying alert and always been trying to change in order to meet Chinese people's expection. China's political system is not perfect either, but it is the one that suits China well, which has been proved by time and most importantly Chinese people have faith in this system and their government. That is exactly the reason over 90% of Chinese people support Chinese government, which is the conclusion by the study of western acdemic institute. China had no intention to export its political system and will have no such intention in the future. It is the biggest difference between Chinese and western authorities, the US government in particular. Just look up in the world history, Chinese people travelled and moved to every corner of the world long long time ago but never colonized any place. The spirit of coexistence in peace is rooted deeply in China's cultural DNA. All that Chinese people want is very simple: never letting the history of been colonized repeat and live a better life. They actually do not care what political systems other countries are taking and have no interest in interfering other coutries' affairs, forcing others apply certain systems. And they do not want to be interfered by others either. Just that simple.

  3421. 🙏🙏🙏❤️Cyrus Thanks for sharing your experience and your feedback in this video . Thanks for your support. In fact It’s not just China that is more restricted than US . There are counties in Asia like Singapore , Korea are very restricted as well but they are small countries comparing with China so no one actually care to talk about how restricted it is in these small countries in Asia now . Japan recent released about their covid omicron cases both have gone much higher after off mask. Their death number also went up as well even though they did have vaccines They are back on mask again . Many countries in Asia have restrictions of 14 days Quarantine that require any one who is traveling to their country to stay in the special hotel for 14 days and you still need to be home for another 7 days . It doesn’t matter you got vaccine or not. and that is how it is with friends and relatives I know who traveled to these countries to visit their relatives . and friends . These smaller countries are not as big as China . No reporter cares to talk about it in US . If your government care about you they don’t want people to die and pacifiers to each other they don’t care how the rest of the world to look at them because it is their country, it is their people Health . if a country has 1.3 billions people all live in the same land , it is uneasy to control virus spread that’s why they must use their way if they don’t take extra Precaution. Why would I care how other people think when I know everyone could be a virus to my children,? No one cares about if any of my family got virus or get sick or died. Like what’s going on with my family now do people really care? No they don’t which is why I don’t care how other people think the way how I want to protect my family and I m the only one ego ca give them the best because I truly care . Not every parent is like me or think like me but I don’t care because my family is not their family. Their family is not my family . . I don’t want to send my children to school or my elderly parents to go out . I would rather do anything I can to help them to get what they need to have learned and enjoyed at home or spend a lot of money to provide a very secure safe environment outside my house until there is antidote approved reissued by FDA . I don’t care how other people think of me because I have enough resource to provide whatever they need and they like . I care for my family . I’m capable to do the way I want to do . I don’t wish for them ti take any risks that’s because I love them more than anyone else . That’s how I take care of my family as any leader must care about their people . We have no right to judge how China or other countries dealing with their people who live in the same land with each other . What’s good for US doesn’t mean it’s good for them unless we have the same size land and same population as well as same kind of quantities local business and international business in where we live . We should focus problems we have in US and asking our leader abs our government to use our tax wisely to resolve problems we have and give us a safe environment with less diversities and hatred towards to different colors specially Asian now who are paying tax no less than others . Freedom and Justice for all is what US government love to brag about .and use to win elections but when more than half of population do not feel this way ,we should focus on what’s the most important things we need to fix and improve inside of the country instead of spending time to focus on other countries business which is totally irresponsible while they keep increasing tax payers money no matter it’s paying to federal or state tax To Focus on resolving our problem and dealing our own business is what our government should do. it’s what a responsible leader and government should do not to redirect all citizens by talking about what’s going on in other countries which we Asian Americans are not paying less tax than many others . If not than justice and freedom doesn’t apply for all certainty is irresponsible for ignoring what’s going on inside or US . There are many engineers , doctors and established business cooperations are working , owners by Asian Americans and provide many job opportunities to many non Asians .

  3762. Thanks Cyrus for an awesome vlog. Truth be told, China is already the world’s largest economy, and rightfully so, as measured in purchasing power parity. In fact, China’s $27.3 trillion economy is already 1.3 times that of America’s at $20.5 trillion. A McKinsey’s estimate puts China’s affluent, upper middle class, and mass middle class of urban households at 9%, 54% , and 22% respectively by 2022. Base on the World Bank, China’s urban population has already reached 59% of its total population in 2018. With projected growth at 2.6%, and by 2022, China’s urban households would exceed 65% of its population, or 915 million people. That is about one and a half times the size of the combine population of America (327 million), the Western Europe (195 million) and Northern Europe (105 million). In other words, by 2022 China would have a middle class society that would be comparable in size to the entire population of western democracies combined! All these achievements is by no mean coincidental; nor could it be achieved by means of tyranny, oppression, and slavery. In fact, such level of human endeavours and achievement can only be accomplished by a society which embraces a people-centric governing philosophy that pursue means of securing the necessity of life - among which is the pursuit of liberty, freedom and happiness - for its citizenry at large. These governing philosophy and societal values furthermore can only be instituted on the backdrop of a stable political system, prevailing peace and harmony, a sound socioeconomic policy, awesome planning, and good governance. Granted, the world wants democracy. So are the Chinese people. But must it only be the American’s Version, unabridged?

  3942. Thank you Cyrus, the world need more people like you, with common sense, hope have more Americans can think like you, the China and the US , can work together, like you and your wife, we are complements of this beautiful and wonderful place named Earth. Just imagine how could be the world today, if US had not been sanctions and bombing all those countries that are involved the US now. Cuba could be a paradise island with a amazing development of the tourist and their people doesn't have to suffer and went to other countries to find opportunities. Look at Irak, Afganistan, Libia, Siria, Yemen, also Iran, they shouldn't have to develop many weapons to defend their sovereign. Also North Korea could be a better place, for their people and for their neighbors, they don't have to develop nuclear weapons, because they don't have a excuse to do it. Look at Venezuela, how all their people are suffering by the sanctions. I don't say many of these countries they have a good government, but after the intervention of the US the country become much worst then before. And now see how the US government are doing with China, we have to respond with facts but the western media or politics just said something lies and must of the people believe them, nobody is seen the consequences of that actions means. Sadly we are in a rally to a confrontation, the US just want to stop China by any cost, follow by the 5 eyes countries, is sad how the people are more hate and insensitive and they don't understand that a war is almost the aniquilation of the world as we now and the destruction of millions of lifes Hope the US people can reaction and elect the better president, but both are almost the same, the difference is Trump will do it clearly and have a better speech to manipulate most of the Americans.

  3962. I lived happily in China for 26 years before moving to US and lived in US for over 20 years now. Looking back I realized that China is a very open society by way of compulsory education. As an elementary student, I was taught about US scientist Thomas Edison in my Chinese class. In high school, I was taught about the US history from Native Americans, to the independence war, to civil war and to current affairs in my history class. I was taught in school about US government of partition of powers. I was taught in school about US religions and literature. By the way, I went to Chinese schools not American schools. I was taught about US in many different facets. While not in school, I had access to US classic and modern movies on pubic TV and music on public radio. I had a very good introduction about US culture already while still living in China. However, after I moved to US, I realized that there was almost nothing about Chinese culture introduced to US students or general public -- no history, no movies, no songs. If there was any content related to China, that would be opinions and these opinions were always how terrible China was and how much suffering Chinese people were going through due to an authoritarian government and lack of democracy and therefore how much China deserved sanctions, isolation, and alienation in order to save China and the Chinese people from misery. I was first surprised, then confused, then annoyed by the false narrative presented to me. Then I hear more and more about China and it has gone from bad to worse. Whenever I hear China, it must mean something bad, the word "China" in any public figure's speech equals dishonesty, thievery, etc... Now, I hear China every day and everywhere and it becomes almost nightmarish. As a mother of a Chinese American child, I feel it is unfair for my child to grow up in such a hostile environment toward part of his heritage. However, there is no voice for China in mainstream media, or let's say extremely loud negative voices. I was feeling desperate and almost hopeless, until I hear from Cyrus. Thanks Cyrus, for speaking up!

  4346. I like your content Cyrus and keep doing what youre doing but unfortunately I think its all too late. Most Americans have already made up their minds, blinded by hate. The real problem is money and power. China threatens our money and power, especially whats most at play here is the de-dollariazation. Almost all wars in history are started because of money and power, bringing rise to a new empire. The US cannot accept this and will be doing more harm than good to prevent it. Just like the nazi Germany, and all empires that collapsed before. A good historical example of how Britain crumbled... obsessed with taking down the US spent all their money to fight the war on America. Disregarded their own citizen, levied taxes, printed money to take down the US ... now we are number one and the UK is still great but negligible on the world stage. And who cares, think the brits get it now. Their people are doing ok, as far as I know (I dont know much of whats going on in uk except through my one brit colleague that I'm close with). Point is power rises and falls, work with each other and bring the best for your own citizens. When you spend all your effort to hurt your competition the world ends up worse off. Nazi Germany will forever go down as one of the worst human created casualty. Why do we want to go down that road? Because the US will become ever more powerful like it did from WW2? We manipulated everyone, sold weapons to everyone, gave the USD to everyone else in exchange for gold. Then cut gold backing to USD, you want to talk abusem thats abuse. Poor planning and dangerous calculations.

  4529. Unfortunately I can't give any financial support Cyrus but if I can do it I can support your cause if your doing what I think your doing.. lol. As a fellow Canadian I just want you to know. I have been watching US interference in not only Chinas affairs but against foreign nations all over the world via media manipulation, hate spewing, divide and conquer BS.. and now it is infiltrating Canada and we just can't let it happen imo. Look at the damage they did in hk. Look at the lies of Chinas human rights violations made by the ones who are openly committing human rights violations all the time and no one says shit sbout that right? Now US is pumping out more BS garbage like lab theories against China and saying, 'scientists across the nations are coming out alarmed with info that covid was made in a wuhan lab and US must demand investigation? Well all those scientists from universities across the nation came from within the same country. Why did not one scientist from the other 96 percent of the world come out? Now I I see ads and smear campaigns by US and other influencers running ads about how Trudeau is the reason for Americans losing jobs because he won't open our border and some guy in a lab coat saying that he doesn't understand why he doesn't listen to science because apparently mr. lab coat says according to his science, our border should have opened months ago and I also people insinuating that he is intentionally doing stuff like that because he is an evil dictator who wants to tank the economy on purpose because he is a communist who wants people depending on the government so he can rule us with an iron fist? Or opinion posts by people with no credentials in economics saying economic gurus say that Trudea is ruining the economy because he is spending on weath redistribution and investing in people and again, trying to make people too dependent on government. WTF? If people can't depend on government who can they depend on? The article was writen by a Canadian conservative but I question if she is working in Canadas best interests or on behalf of some outside influences best interests? They ran a story about the Uyghurs yesterday and the comments were all anti China hateful crap, but I saw one comment that said. 'I am from Xinjiang and a Canadian citizen, please stop this!!' And people are replying with shit like, go home zippy and other negative shit. Then I respond with 'maybe go back down to your hole troll' and it wouldn't post because it didn't meet standards.. or 'narrative' is more like it. So I made a complaint about it and reported it as disturbing content and said it was racist bullshit that was false information because I just saw that China let in Muslim media and foreign leader in to see for themselves and they were praising China for their kindness and compassion for the Muslims and minority groups like Uyghurs and I take there word over US who hasn't had a great history of showing love towards Muslims. For Canadian news you should be better than this'.. they didn't immediately pull it but they heard me. Enough is enough.. you know? As Canadians we need to push back. Otherwise we will have our government 'captured' by corporate capitalists, then it's 'capture,' the media, privatize, defund and dismantle our healthcare and education systems, sell out our liquor and any other government controled markets, then all the workers with fair wages and pensions get those hollowed out and end up being nothing more than corporate commodities for the one percent. I know how this shit works and see what it has done to our southern neighbors and unfortunately the divide and conquer fake news propaganda machine works well. We must fight back.. Nice to see CBC is running a documentary online later tonight about the deep rot in American journalism and how it is designed to promote hatred and division. And had a scientist on today to call out against US lab theory and saying that US is not being transparent enough, that even if they investigate and found it was from a lab that it doesn't really make much difference over the handling of the virus, and he also said that he felt it can be damaging and causes more harm than good because there is a very good chance that it could just go on forever and never be 100 percent solved. So it isn't like we are just going to bow down and join US in any anti China propaganda BS but the propaganda machine is strong and if it works and we get those convervstives in we are done. When they wanted to allie with us and declare genocide the conservatives were all over it and forced a vote but when it came time to vote, the liberal party got up and walked out. Then all over mainstream it's 'Trudeau is a coward and Chinese commie lap dog who stabbed his allies in the back ect.. Even those fox wannabes at sky news Australia were spreading hate and saying the same anti Canada pro US bullshit.. I get why they are saying defund the CBC and O'toole is blasting Trudeau becsuse he should do his duty and quit the UN because Canada should stand with US and Israel. At first I thought it was just a campaign strategy but I don't think that it's that simple anymore. So my opinion on the future of China Canada relations is.. It depends on if we roll over or stand up to fight. I don't know, I just know you are a fellow Canadian who might want to hear this. As far as myself goes, I feel if we don't do something than an evil empire is going to do the democracy by force thing and it won't stoo until it takes over and controls to rule China, Canada and probably the rest of the world. I can't say for certain and not making solid accusations but i am entitled to my opinion so.. there it is. I don't know what to do about it though.. I will support you financially when I can but was also pondering a channel ,Canada first' or something to try to spread awareness and gain more support. But that's just a thought for now. The best way to fight ignorance is with awarenesd, education and promotion unity over division. I feel once someone sees it for what it is it can't be unseen so the truth is a good thing to have on your side but it's just a matter of getting it out and people to listen. Good luck. I watch an independent US journalist, Kim Iverson on YouTube who just came out and said US is trying to pass a bill to ban all US independent journalists from YouTube so to join her website just in case. But YouTube is a good platform so if they ban her she won't have a voice outside of her private site. I don't think that applies to independent Canadian journalists though and if it does, it just shows how powerful the propaganda machine can be. Funny how it's independent news they are after rather than fake fox cnn msnbc. ect.. which solves my case.. lol anyways good work and thank you for all you do. I am here if you need support and will let you know if anything becomes of the Canada first crap I was thinking of. I really don't wsnt to. I am shy of appearing or speaking on camera. Lol I do photography and play around with shooting and editing videos though and getting pretty good at premier pro and such. So in a way I feel obligated to try even though I don't want to..lmao. just a thought to think about i guess. I will let you know if i decide to though if you don't mind though ok. Anyway take care and have a good day. Sorry for such a long rant but I had to say something so.. At least I did that. Peace

  4652. Thanks for another 10/10 video Cyrus. The world has gone crazy, not only have we found Covid19 this year, but we have also found an other far more dangerous virus that severely damages people's ability to think and it seems like people in the west are far more likely to catch this brain damaging virus than anywhere else. You see, China was the first country COMPETENT and RESPONSIBLE enough to successfully identify the virus, and they shared the information with the world in hopes of saving more lives. What did China get in return? Hate, racism and a potential war. Even though numerous studies have shown that the virus might have originated from Europe, the west is still trying to push this narrative that China "made" the virus with the top US puppy dog Australia leading the way. Facts and logic no long work in an era where emotion trumps logic, hate trumps love and ignorance trumps science. The west has finally desperately found an excuse they've been looking for to unite against China, so they once again can colonize the country like they did many years ago. Let's step back and assume that the Chinese government was indeed too incompetent to handle the virus as the west claimed, shouldn't the world help each other instead of blaming each other? Of course we all know the answer, the world hates China for not kowtowing to the US, and for that reason alone, China should be punished. But guess what, China is not Iraq, and this time around the west is biting off more than they can chew.

  4685. Damn... Cyrus, this is the best video I have ever seen on Youtube from an individual talking about his life and his connection with China. In this video, I am seeing passion, enthusiasm, respect to China and Chinese culture from a guy born and raised in the west. That kind of quality and personal character deserves to be spread to more and more ppl who know less about China or even Asia. I love you answer to the big question: "if you love China why did u leave?". Because it was all the same for me: I was born and raised in China and I went to US for graduate school in CT, USA in 2017. I stayed there for 3 years including 1 year working in a local firm. And I came back to China in 2020 Feb just before the pandemic exploded in US. After 1 year of working in Shanghai, I recently decided to work abroad again and go to Singapore. It was not because China treated me in a horrible way or I hate Chinese culture. I believe I am same patriotic just like you are about America. I am leaving China for now just for "Opportunity". And it does not necessarily have to be a career one. Anyway, I fell in "love" with this channel a few months ago only because I cannot show more respect to a person who generously shared his wealthy knowledge and brilliant thoughts to people around the world. And also because he showed much respect to my home country and my favorite Chinese culture. I would like to say thank you with all my best wishes to you, your family and to this channel. Please! Please keep going so that the culture gap between the west and the east could be minimized in the coming future and we no matter black, white or asian people can work together to make this world better! Love, Peace, and Respect! 爱,和平, 尊重!

  4701. ive been around the youtubes the last day watching vids about CES lol and im hearing guess what? who the hell is TCL!!!?? lol not going to lie even going back 10 yrs i didnt know who Hisense was..... now its all over the UK.... still TCL is new to me but now i know Hisense and TCL are Chinese.... TCL are ROKU!? i found that out just yesterday!!!!!.... the TCL presentation was going in BIG, i mean like Sony, Samsung BIG!..... TCL going into the mobile smart phones as well as VR!!!??? in my head nobody knows who TCL are lol so whos going to be buying TCL smart phones, TVs, VR headsets!!!?? But this is the thing theres alot of brands out there that me being chinese also didnt know were Chinese! like ONEplus I never knew was Chinese! till very recently! Granted im not into my phones or chasing the phone fad.... and Oneplus was always spoken favourably along side Samsung, Apple etc so i assumed it was an American company!!! So you know ALL Chinese tech is evil and spying BUT somehow ONEPlus evaded the radar so i just assumed ONE plus again was a Western company.... so i beleve the branding or rebranding has already begun..... Huawei is definitely Chinas version of Apple, or heck Huawei's bigger than Apple in terms of what Huawei does, thats why I assume Huawei was the big Chinese target for the US! I mean even TCL seems Western to me, and i have no idea what TCL stands for!!! Actually i might have bought a really budget TCL smart phone or tablet for my dad once lol...... Also anybody heard of Skyworth lol!??? Theres also Chinas version of the GoPro but I cant remember the name!!! There was a really nice little camera thing that made me search it up and i discovered it was Chinese and he was the youngest richest ceo/entrepreneur or something We laugh now but come tomorrow these companies might probably morph into a household name like Sony HUUUUGE!..... Anybody remember AIWA??? i used to love them! Even when it comes to Chinese EVs there are a few names im beginning to see mean business!!!! I think BYD might hang around...... heck DJI i also thought was a western company!!! Or at least a Japanese company!!!? All ive got to say is well done Chinese business people and tech people and branding people!!!!! you fooled me!!! a western chinese person lol!!! OK ok my bar might not be that high lol But youve definitely ( Chinese companies ) have my attention!! The quality and value is definitely there now!!!! and im an Apple and Sony guy!!! i recently got a poco x4 pro for £150+ brand new!!!! I was dreading finding you know quality issues with it but no its a fantastic speedy smooth phone!! and i dont game on my phones!

  4721. On the internet, lots of pro-China netizens and Chinese nationals are getting up in arms about white supremacy this and that and how the anglo-saxons are all racists and whatnot due to the various fronts of tensions between the US and China, and it honestly bothers me to read and hear those sentiments, because I know that it is not entirely true. I've been hopping around the US, Taiwan, and China all my life for decades now, and I know from experience that the many US citizens are like Cyrus, and actually resemble the kind and scrupulous image of Americans we see in movies. The problem is that these great Americans are rarely if ever found in the contemporary political landscape and these politicians and intelligence agencies run disinformation campaign to manipulate global public opinion in order to maintain hegemony. It's gotten so bad that I would wager if someone like George Washington or Abe Lincoln were to appear in this era they'd be smeared out of politics by the MSM faster than you can say "I cannot tell a lie." Most if not all the tensions between the people were basically generated by the media and politics, though I can't say for sure how much of was due to just the trump administration and I don't know whether or not relations would get better with Biden at the helm. I guess only time will tell. I just hope things won't get further out of control as we approach the Nov election. I know very well that China is not some country of saintly virtue, but it is overall a non-aggressive civilization that only seeks to regain the prosperity and self-esteem it once lost. Holding China to stricter standards on international trade and criticizing China is welcome and should be encouraged, but accusing the Chinese government and people of crimes they did not commit helps no one. Anyway, thanks for speaking out, much appreciated.

  4836. ​ @CyrusJanssen  and Thank you, for providing such contents. A lot of people indeed do not know China, much less understand China. Some never will. One of the reasons why your videos are highly valuable is that you actually represent a CENTRIST position, you being aware of this or not. And typically it is from a CENTRIST position many solutions to our problems emerge. You know how divided American politicians are, left or right however they want to label themselves, and they rally their constituents to their own camps, turning Americans against each other. To use Obama's words the Blue America and the Red America ... The Chinese are very accustomed to centrist positions, that is an important part of the Confucian thought. I believe that's one of the causes that Chinese gov has been able to face enormous economic challenges and able to formulate solutions to those challenges, lifting unprecedented amount of people out of poverty in the forty plus years. That is not to say that America does not have centrists, they are out there. But they are not poorly represented in the US gov and their voices cannot be heard adequately. That's why i feel that we need more people like you, somebody who can actually bridge the divide, bringing people together, instead of pointing fingers at each other, at "them", too busy blaming someone else for our own problems when we could have afforded the resources to improve and strengthen ourselves. And you are absolutely right about how Americans can learn from the Chinese. That's what the Chinese did through the past 40 some years since the economic reform. China had so many legacy problems from the 1800s and early 1900s, they fought off the European powers, struggled through Japanese occupation, then its own civil war, followed by turbulent years of cultural revolution. And with mere 40+ years, it emerged as the 2nd largest economy. The remarkable transformation speaks for itself. If China could do it, so can America, and America has a much much better standing to do so. Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Kudos!

  4847. I worked in China from 1991 to 2022. From 1997 onward, I'd hear all these predictions for a "hard landing", and that the 10+% growth rate was over. Many predicted a coming collapse year after year. These prognosticators were wrong for 25 years straight. Even a broken clock shows the right time twice a day. China was the 10th largest economy when I went there and depending on how you measure it, it is now 2nd by Nominal GDP, 2nd by Nominal GNI, but 1st by GDP (PPP), 1st by GNI (PPP), and 1st by international trade. Their middle-class population was barely 50 Million back then and now it is over 800 Million. There's way less homelessness there than there is in the US. In 2001, Gordon Chang wrote a book called "The Coming Collapse of China". In it he said China would collapse and the Communist Party would fall within a decade. According to Wikipedia: "When 2011 was almost over, he admitted that his prediction was wrong but said that he was off by only a year and wrote in the Foreign Policy magazine, that "Instead of 2011, the mighty Communist Party of China will fall in 2012. Bet on it." Consequently he made Foreign Policy's "10 worst predictions of the year" twice in a row when his predictions were proven wrong again." So now another decade has passed by, and now Peter Zeihan is pretty much parroting all of Chang's points, with the only difference being YouTube. YES, now that China is a near-developed economy, the law of big numbers means that their economy will not grow at 10%, or even 5% year after year again, and their population will decline as they now mostly live in big cities, where like the rest of the world, people have fewer children. As one of the largest growth drivers and the center of manufacturing, if China collapses, so will the world's economy. Without China, there's nothing to buy at Walmart, and iPhones would cost $2,000 instead of $1,000. Perhaps India and Mexico will take over much of the manufacturing, but it will take a long time to develop the supply chains. By that time, perhaps China's economy will be more like the US and be centred on consumption and services.

  4927. My two cents as part time app developer and someone who's been forced to and has gradually come to willingly use Huawei wo Google is that many apps, regardless of popularity, is dependent on google services, even if one just wants to enable push notification and cloud backup, both of which being features that could totally be made independent of Google with self written implementation which of course takes more time and isn't that much different from reinventing the wheels, and the alleged data privacy just isn't there, even in the case of the corona warn app in Germany here. I find it hence even more amusing when the Germans keep saying, we do not want infringement on our data privacy as a trade off for convenience since they end up getting neither whereas I'm using Yandex, Tencent, Google, Baidu etc while spreading bits and pieces of my data here and there, and might end up being less well known then they are to the governments, which, frankly speaking, I wouldn't trust in hunting down criminals if they can't even track me down whenever they want As for the chips, as long as Huawei can't pay manufacturers freely to produce chips they designed, their life in phone industry will lie in the US's hands. It's gonna cost dimensions higher than billions of dollars to get this super complicated wheel reinvented, (which is a whole stream of various completely different yet strictly mutual dependent Industries, some of which not even the US has control over) and I'm not exaggerating here, to get to the world's top level right now, let alone the time for trial and errors even for the most talented ones in the respective field. But the good news is Huawei can "shamelessly" live on patents like Qualcomm and the MS at certain point in time

  5019. Great video Cyrus, thanks for clearly pointing out the differences between meritocracy and democracy. One thing if I may add, which you can also consider for your next video, is that Americans actually aren't all that unfamiliar with China's system. Imagine running a company like General Electric, you have board of directors which elect the CEO, you have C level managers and directors running different divisions of the company, and you have division managers and assistant managers and team leaders so on so forth. A big corporation that needs to be well oiled needs to have leaders who are capable and has the relevant experience to handle the job. And this is exactly what China is practicing, meritocracy. Saying China is bad for having one government is like saying General Electric is bad for having the same management team; it doesn't make sense because China isn't like Saudi or N.Korea where they passed down positions to their family members, it requires qualification like what you mentioned. Now will the average GE worker in the factory be surprised if they're asked to vote for the CEO of the company? And their 8 month colleague can put in the application to become a candidate? And that the toilet cleaner and the Vice President of Global Trade Division both received one vote each for the next CEO? The average worker would tell you "Yo I'm not qualified to judge on the next CEO" so what makes running a country easier than running GE? I believe this example can be used to let Americans understand China's system and why it is effective, because China's system was invented by Westerners in running your ultra successful global corporations like Coca Cola, KFC, McDonald's. Meritocracy has been proven by Westerners that it works, and China merely use it to run their country. And if a country's GDP is the easiest metric to decide if they're well run or not, isn't it just a giant corporation with an annual turnover of 15 trillion? That's why China works, because American corporations has proven it works. And if we are on the topic of whether an average poor citizen has the chance to rise up the ranks, China is the first country in the world that helds open examinations thousands of years ago. A poor farmer's son can apply for these exams and travel to the city to sit through it and they get to be selected into serving the king from the lowest levels working their way up. Many famous generals were sons of poor farmers. And lastly, what is the pursue of democracy? It's not for the people to change governments, it is for the government to serve its people. To see the benefits of its people as the one and only goal. And that's why a simplistic method of "i will vote you out four years later" is the ONE and ONLY countermeasure citizens of democratic nations has and nothing else. But the results driven approach of China made sure the bad apples were eliminated in the early stages through KPIs, whether you achieved the goals set forth by the central committee, which were made up of people that has gone through countless stages to qualify themselves. And lastly, American Presidents can sign executive orders and do whatever he likes. Xi Jin Ping on the other hand, cannot, every decision needs to be tabled to vote openly, on TV in their central committee assembly made up of the highest ranking 3000 members, all who're highly qualified to be there. Each of the 9 politburo take turns to present their plans every decision was a collective decision voted in. Now who's autocratic? There's no RULING of China, only running it, unlike American Presidents who can rule with executive orders.

  5309. It is so refreshing to see an American Expat like Cyrus telling the truth on the development of modern China that has been worngfully attacked by those "TUNNEL VISIONED" westerners who have actually not visited China these days. Cyrus has a much broader esperience from his world wide travel and the ontelligence of getting the real truth from any political inlfuence or fake news. He has a most harmonious interest in trying to bridge the "GAPS or MISCONCEPTION" by voicing the unfair destructive criticism on China's development especially from US that he still holds love to his mother country. China has been under so many "BULLIED" attacks by western countries before. Take the example of "OPIUM WAR" that the British pushed Chinese into drug addiction, plus the invasions of the infamous "8 COUNTRIES" that took Shanghai for years. Now, after 70 years, China has reduced poverty by over 65%, woke up to become a powerful country in manufacturng and technologies that many western countries including US are surprised and jealous about. Cyrus has a much intelligent experience by seeing and visioning positive testimonials to help global partnership in harmonious way. NO one or nio country is perfect. We have a choice to dwell on negative to create hatred or war; or we can recognise the positive side and offer helpful partnership to move on. The trade war is absolutely harmful to all political parties that the real suffering is for the humanity. Talking aboout real "HUMAN RIGHT" against China, and if we look at all western countries including US and Canada, do they have 100% human rights??? The only way to build up Hman right is to practise an acceptanace with understanding and tolerance to eahc other. That is exactly Cyrus is doing with his energy and effort to help all of us to stand up and form partnership together. He is doing a noble and honest job helping to clear up misunderstanding or lack of understanding particulary to those do not have ways to find out the truth. We are absolutely grateful to Cyrus' devotion. The world would be a happier place if we have more personality like him. Thanks Cyrus with all the best.

  5468. To my Western friends who are watching this video and blaming Turkey, let me explain the reasons that are not mentioned in this video but that we have experienced: 1. We have been trying to join the European Union since its inception. We used to see news that it was going to happen soon, but after the Arab Spring, we couldn't even get appointments for visas, let alone enter without a visa. Currently, I can't even enter Schengen countries to visit museums. 2. While NATO countries are supposed to support each other in military operations, Turkish soldiers have been used in all NATO wars, including the Korean War. However, in the fight against the PKK terrorist organization, which has been ongoing inside and outside Turkey since 1980, PKK has always been supported despite being recognized as a terrorist organization. In the last 10 years, this organization’s name was changed to PYD and it was armed and trained by the US to invade Syria. They turned a group recognized as terrorists into an armed force and are now trying to establish a state for them. We have no problem with Kurds having a country, but we have already lost 84.93% of our lands from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic, and we have no intention of giving up more land just because minorities live there. Therefore, we want them to establish their state wherever they want, as long as they don’t target lands we have governed for a thousand years. Our government even tried to communicate politically with the terrorists, but during the peace process, they continued to arm themselves. Moreover, we witnessed how they invaded Syria. We know that next, they will try to take land from Iran and Turkey by first inciting uprisings and, if necessary, waging war. The biggest official supporter of this terrorism is the USA. Their flags are side by side. 3. Whenever the US, which sees us as its puppet, doesn't like something we do, they threaten to "destroy our economy." For example, an American citizen disguised as a priest was caught as a spy. Before he was even sent to court or interrogated, Trump publicly demanded his immediate release. Imagine if the president of another country did the same in your country. If you are not a banana republic, you would resist and make a decision after the interrogation, right? No, this interrogation never took place because Trump did as he said and crashed our economy within a few days. The Turkish Lira lost 50% of its value. This happened just because we insisted on an interrogation, and Trump arrogantly tweeted, "I told you so." 4. On July 15, 2016, there was a military coup attempt, which was suppressed by public uprising. The NATO base was used as the headquarters during this coup attempt. Planes took off and landed there. People saw this; it’s not just a newspaper claim. 5. Our government wanted to purchase the Patriot defense system, but we didn't even receive a response for two years. When our President visited the USA, he wasn't welcomed or met. You may not like Erdoğan, but he is the democratically elected representative of our country. When you cut off communication with him, it means you disregard the entire country. Two years later, and after the coup attempt, we purchased the S400 missiles. This time, sanctions were imposed, further crashing our already struggling economy. This was done openly. Erdoğan's support ranges between 35-40%, but with each of these actions, his support exceeded 50%. As you can see, NATO wants to see Turkey not as a republic but as a puppet. When they don't like something, they either crash our economy or support military coups. After the Western-supported events known as the Arab Spring, over 10 million refugees entered our country. 90% of them came from the east of Syria where ISIS was. ISIS is gone now, but the US military and PYD are there. They destroyed ISIS but did not return the Syrian lands to Assad. Therefore, these 9 million Syrians are not returning to their lands either. If you think the US's only goal is to take the oil and gas from there, you are very naive. They are trying to establish a puppet state for the Kurds. Given this situation, what did you expect Turkiye to do? What would you do if you were in our position?

  5710. Dear Cyrus: I've followed you on and off for a while. I truly appreciate your intricate knowledge of relevant details, and your often impassioned deliveries. I even concur with almost everything that you have to say. However, in all of this, I think that you have overlooked a very important element in the relationship between China and the West today, and that is simply RACISM. In his book "The China Mirage" (2016), James Bradley lays out the foreign relations between the Far East and the West from their first contacts onward into the 20th Century. His whole narrative from start to finish is a testament to the Racist attitude that the West has always had toward China and Japan and their people. What is remarkable is that Bradley's book is not about racism or social justice at all. It's about international relations. But he didn't need to focus on racism because the simple facts speak loudly for themselves. Why should things be viewed any differently today, Cyrus ? If centuries of racism was a hallmark of the West's attitude toward the Far East both on an individual and on a collective level, then doesn't it make sense that there must exist a racial component even today ? Rudyard Kipling's "The White Man's Burden" (1899) is a classic illustration of the delusion of cultural superiority that the West has always had regarding all the other (non-White) peoples of the world. How do you think it makes Westerners feel now when those "culturally inferior" people in China are overtaking them on the World Stage ? I don't think that you need to look far below the surface to find how infuriated many White people in the West are about a non-White nation overtaking America on the World Stage. How much of America's attitude toward the Chinese today is due to the fact that they are Communist, and how much of it is due to the fact that they are not White ? Someone needs to pull the scab off this boo-boo, Cyrus. And I think that you're the right man for the job. ... jkulik919@gmail.com

  6143. Mr. Janssen, thank you for your effort. As an Chinese American, I have same concern as you. I pray there will be no war between America and China in my life time. I just wonder how many Americans among 69000 who gave you thumb up believe in you. I assume very few Americans with the same understanding. Best reference to right judgement is history. Through history, China is the only nation who became number one in the world did not attempt to conquer the world like Greek, Roman, English folks, Spanish folks, German, Japanese, Russian, and Americans. Every nation who became superpower went out to take the world. In fact, twice in China history, as the number one in the world did not go out to conquer the world, instead China tried to make trade such as silk road and sailing. Westerns folks do not understand why Chinese did not conquer the world. I understand the reason because I was educated in China and I read whole a lot of books then. Chinese is more greedy to hope to maintain the existence forever as their true reason not to conquer the world. American leaders do not believe that assumption. That is the true cause behind the conflicts. China will push back eventually. The timing is controlled by a small group of Chinese leaders, less than 10 people. I worry about the future of the world. I remember that Xi said to Trump when he visited US, Atlanta Ocean is big enough to hold two super power. Trump clearly does not believe that statement at all. I bet you in Trump's mind, Xi must kitting him. Janssen, you can not convince Trump not believe what he believe. The folks in power in DC cross the party line, have the same belief as Trump. Just like two huge dogs in a fight, it will be very ugly. Convid19 virus is a test for two super power, we have seen the result to the test. I worry about my country, which is America. You and me are too small to stop a train. The train will go the direction directed by the folks in power.

  6384. Nice commentary! One thing I want to point to is that yes, the world is too unique for only type of govt to exist, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we do away with democracy as a wholly. It is actually Western-style liberal democracy (multi-party system, national elections, capitalism, freedom of speech, etc.) that has a lot of flaws (like any other political system) which are not suitable in certain countries during certain historical times. Democracy means a government OF the people, FOR the people and BY the people. Any honest American would hesitate before saying that their governments ticks any of the 3 boxes sufficiently. In contrast, China has legitimacy in all 3 aspects. And it has achieved this without national elections, unbridled capitalism, etc. (not implying that they are inherently bad; just that these systems don't seem to be the right thing for China and many other nations currently). Hope it's able to continue doing it. 中国加油. By the way, those that have been to China would know that, recently there has been a big public relations campaign by the CCP to tout democracy along with 11 other "Socialist" values (justice, harmony, freedom, equality, etc.) and I have the impression that they've made great headway to these ends. Good on them to show an alternative to the supposedly end-all be-all system of Western-liberal-democracy system. And I hope (but I am not optimistic) that Western countries are able to sort out their self-made mess without scapegoating China.

  6498. Thank you Cyrus. Jeff Merkley is my Oregon senator. You spelled his name wrong (Markley). Your comments on the truth set me straight on how seriously I got my senator wrong and what kind of politician he really is. I sadly thought he was the rare exception. Today you opened my eyes to his disgusting support of Jimmy Lai. News channels reported 1 Feb. 2024 regarding his nomination of Jimmy Lai for a Nobel Peace prize. Last week I praised the senator's moral courage in going to Rafa to see for himself the truth Of UNRA trucks held up waiting to enter with relief supplies. Previously he went to our southern boarders and literally knocked on doors of detention centers. He tweeted "t was absolutely chilling to see so many children locked up in prison camps".   Today I did some research on the senator I have supported with campaign contributions. I am appalled to find his Oct. 2020 political position on China treatment of Uyghurs. "“China’s assault on Uyghurs and other Muslim minority groups—escalating surveillance, imprisonment, torture, and forced ‘re-education camps’—is genocide, pure and simple,” said Merkley, who is a Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) commissioner, and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “America can’t stand silent.” Senator Merkley stood in Gaza yet could not use the word genocide or even possible genocide as per the ICJ. I tend to believe the preponderance of relative truth presented by the Embassy of the PRC in Indonesia that “Genocide in Xinjiang a Complete Lie of the Century". Search on it. The only bigger lie is denial of it in Gaza. In today’s fast-paced world, where words often flow in abundance, there are timeless proverbs that encapsulate profound wisdom. One such gem from Chinese Wisdom resonates strongly: “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” Shame on you senator Merkley. I trusted you. You go to places of conflict to see for yourself. I suggest you actually go to Xinjiang China and see today's truth for yourself. Perhaps even at the invitation of President Xi Jinping. You are, after all, Cochair of Bipartisan Panel Panel on China. Inform yourself. Your statement as COCHAIR OF BIPARTISAN PANEL ON CHINA: “The Congressional-Executive Commission on China plays a critical role in defending universal values against the forces of tyranny, censorship, and intimidation, and it is a privilege to serve as its Cochair for the 118th Congress,” Merkley said. “In collaboration with Congressman Smith and our fellow commissioners, I look forward to continuing the Commission’s bipartisan work to stand against the Chinese government’s assaults on fundamental freedoms, advocate for political and religious prisoners, and push for meaningful action. The story of Xi Jinping’s leadership is one of genocide, slave labor, trampling of democracy, and bullying of critics at home and abroad. It’s our job to do what we can to push back and protect those fleeing persecution, facing transnational repression, fighting coercion, or fearing the destruction of their culture.”

  6719. Sorry but thumbsdown, for 2 reasons. 1: America is not a democracy, period. So what democracy are you talking about? Oh you mean the fake votes where ones vote doesn´t even count cause all the voting power belongs exclusively to some few elitist delegates? Again how is that democracy? If that can be labeled as democracy then you can label Northkorea as democracy too. And 2: the main reason for my thumbsdown, this: 09:19 Sorry but due to this absolute ignorance about Afghan history I have no choice but to thumb this down because this is american propaganda and lies 101. Have you forgotten that Afghanistan had a progressive, democratic government in late 1970 until the early 80s? Yes lo and behold, Afghanistan actualy had a progressive, democratic government, which in fact even included womens rights etc. So, what happened to that government? Well it was a left wing government and the US being as insecure as they always are, was afraid that left wing government might ally itself with the soviets, despite 0 signs pointing in that direction and despite huge idiological differences between the afghan left wing and the soviet hardline communism. And because of that insecurity, the US just went ahead and couped the government in Afghanistan to be replaced by conservative, fundamental extremists, from which then later the Taliban as we know them emerged. Sorry but that the "US was in Afghanistan to bring democracy" is easily the biggest lie of the 21st century, when it was no one else then the US that freaking COUPED an democraticaly elected government in Afghanistan already. This shows clear as day that it was never about democracy in Afghanistan but all about geopolitical interests only. And that you spew this warmongering, anti democratic nonsense only to protect your beloved US/spare it from criticism is sickening to say the least. Honestly, I am srsly thinking of unsubbing. I´ll give you 1 more chance, but I you put out another piece like this full of US lies which are just objectively, factualy and historicaly wrong, I will have no other choice but to unsub because I am not supporting such warmongering and destruction of democracies by the US, nor do I support people who lie about the US overthrowing a democraticaly elected government but then preach about democracy? Wtf? You sound like an absolute snake right now! Your beloved US overthrew the democracy in Afghanistan and yet you DARE to speak about democracy in Afghanistan? Wow. May I remind you that you americans are the last people on earth to talk about democracy in Afghanistan given that you have already COUPED their democraticaly elected government in the past? I am seriously getting high blood pressure now, especialy since I thought better of you Cyrus, I thought you were more educated and smarter than this, but it seems I overestimated you? And it seems like all americans you are just resistant to facts and truth? As said please stop it or I will unsub. Last chance fancy pants.

  6849. I wouldn’t say I’m pro-China, although I do get accused of that. I’m pro-reality. I’m anti-propaganda. The reality is that China is ascending economically at an incredible rate. It’s the biggest economy in the world by the useful purchasing power parity measure. It will surpass the USA in the mid 2030s some time. They’ve managed their economy very well since 1978, and there’s little reason to believe that they won’t continue to. The reality is that China took about 850 million people out of poverty since 1978. The most basic of human rights, the right to not starve or watch your children starve, were granted to those hundreds of millions. They aren’t granted as many rights by their society as North Americans or Europeans have, but there are significant variances in how rights are viewed among the developed nations as well. Look at the United States deeply odd Second Amendment for an example, or its 13th Amendment which allows prisoners to be treated as slaves. Even in the United States there are many people who think that these aren’t inalienable human rights or good ideas, just legacy BS that should be eliminated. In other words, human rights are on a continuum, China is at a point on that continuum and we shouldn’t be demonizing it for that. The reality is that China didn’t cause global warming, but is currently the biggest contributor to more greenhouse gases. But that’s also because the developed nations happily ceded manufacturing to the country and became consumer and knowledge socieities. And while China is replacing crappy old coal plants with not-as-bad new coal plants in large numbers, they are building vastly more low carbon generation in the form of wind, solar, hydro and nuclear, and vastly more grid storage and vasly more transmission than the rest of the world combined. They will be decarbonized before many currently developed nations. The reality is that the world needs China’s products of the future: solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, massive HVDC transmission, high-speed rail, electric buses, electric personal vehicles. They are the only scaled manufacturer of stuff that the rest of the world needs to deploy rapidly. That they are the only scaled manufacturer is a result of developed countries ceding most manufacturing and mineral processing to them and an intentional, strategically sound industrial policy on their part. But them being in a much stronger competitive position than Europe or North America isn’t a reason to demonize them, it’s a reason to embrace their products and assistance. The reality is that China’s Belt & Road Initiative is about the most benign form of economic imperialism that the world has seen. Loans to governments at reasonable terms with reasonable renegotiation when things are challenging to build national infrastructure assets owned by the nations. 140 countries have signed up over the USA’s lobbying and hostility because the BRI isn’t a problem, it’s a solution. Transmission, rail, ports and renewables are being constructed in countries globally. However, the USA is interpreting it through the eyes of past US governments with their imperialist Monroe Doctrine, their economic hit men feeding profits to major US corporations from banana republics, their CIA fomenting regime change in countries that didn’t fall in line, and their habit of sending in the Marines to overthrow governments that weren’t aligned with US profits and control in multiple countries. Jung called it the anima, the thing about ourselves that we hate and hence hate viscerally in others. The USA has a bad case of it regarding the BRI, so they misinterpret it. The reality is that China isn’t a communist dystopia, but a market economy with more thoughtful governmental intervention and a strongly Confucian nature. The USA uses its military as an unintentional social program and distributor of wealth to disadvantaged parts of the country, doesn’t recognize this, and can’t fix it. China is much clearer about what it’s doing and why at this point in history. The reality is that America needs an external, preferably Communist enemy due to their structural dysfunction, and the UK is arm-in-arm with them. America’s Congress passed an anti-China propaganda bill that funds rhetorical nonsense and hatred of China. I wish I were making that up, but the evidence is strong. American’s actually thought Libya, Grenada and Panama were active threats to America, which is so farcical that it’s hard to believe. And the reality is that China controls communication and has its own governmental propaganda, its own industrial espionage efforts and, while it’s actually a very good player in international affairs, is still a country that is doing things that countries do, especially the rich ones that can get away with it. It’s following in its long-standing strategic pathway of letting the west have western conflicts, playing both sides against the other so that they don’t turn on China. Its military is defensive, but it’s strong enough that no country or coalition of countries would succeed in any attempt to invade it, and it is making sure that the USA knows that. China’s military spending, by the way, is in line with European GDP ratio spending, and less than half of the USA’s by the same measure. The reality is that just as America surpassed the UK as the largest global economic empire, it’s past its best years and in decline, while China is in ascension again and will surpass the USA soon. And historically, that’s been a dangerous time globally. While Graham Allison’s book Destined for War loses the plot and doesn’t have the courage to say that the USA is the big risk, I’m deeply concerned about the war mongering coming out of the USA. While I like Biden, he’s been in foreign policy since Mao, and is deep inside the Washington consensus on China. And sadly, that consensus is inaccurate about the state of the USA and inaccurate about China, so there are concerns. Luckily, China is much clearer on all this and so it’s deeply unlikely that it will turn into a hot war, although proxy spats are still possible. Does all of this make me pro-China? No, it just makes me not anti-China. The 21st Century will be theirs. How we deal with that reality is up to us.

  6858. Thank you so much Cyrus for posting this video. I wish I could have discovered your channel earlier! It is always a mental relief to hear non-Chinese people posting fair (which in many cases is equivalent to positive) comments on China. I am currently studying in US and I just got sick of how biased people around me have become, even those who are perfectly reasonable and decent people. As long as the topic turns to China, all I hear are negative and quite frankly, false statements. Turns out when people are just given false/biased information, no matter how much they have been trained on logical thinking, it doesn't matter! One comment I got from my colleague was "who would want a one-party government". This was just so biased and sort of arrogant! Just because some people in US doubt their government doesn't mean that we couldn't have faith in our own government! And just like you said in many other videos, most Chinese people honestly don't give a crap to what political system China has or who is the leader, as long as they have proved to be good leaders and presented people with the evidence of burgeoning economy and improving life style! As long as they have shown that they do care when people are in trouble (i.e. COVID) and worked hard to solve troubles. Admittedly, there are flaws and there have been mistakes throughout the history, it is just pathetic that politicians shift people's attention onto these mistakes and exaggerate such mistakes in order to solidify their domestic ruling. It is just so ironic and disgusting that while US politicians (NO offense to you Cyrus NOR to US as a country) are propagating how China is brainwashing people, despite clearly without solid evidence as well as with so many Chinese clearly disagreeing, they themselves are essentially doing the same things to their people based on how many normal Americans are fed with misinformation and become anti-China. Thanks for letting me throwing my complaints here. It is indeed a stressful and depressing world at this very moment to live in. Just can't wait until November. Even though competitions will always be there between nations, at least let them be positive competitions and don't let these political disagreements breed hatred.

  7334. Hi Cyrus, I have watched your channel for some time, I like it and very much agree with your opinion. Every good people with nice and peace heart will appsolutly agree with you and hope China and USA enjoy the good relationship. That is what you said win-win situation. But why do the USA politicians or government always find the problem to impact the relationship? These politicians or gov stuff or the president of American no matter Donald Trump or Biden, are they stupid? the answer is absolutely not. But why? I personally think the relation between country to country have no different with the relation between individual to individual, some time I even feel that specially like the woman to woman, there is no discrimination to woman, just a metaphor. See, right now's china and USA is not like 30 years ago, when China just a developing country, is much more less powerful in all aspect compared with USA. So sure, the little brother is totally no threat to number one supper power. the big brother will invest to China help it's development especially when it is also benefit from this process. However, this come to CPC 100 year anniversary, the situation change, actually this change not just happen right now, when China become second economic body, the threat is there. the big brother worry the little bro will surpass him eventually. That is nature, big pro will find some way constrian this quick growing little bro. May be man and man will have common value like real brother, like old saying, hero like hero. that why I mention the relation between woman to woman, I really don't think the beautiful one will admit and like the other one become the beauties one in the world. they just can not coexistence harmoniously. like the fairy tale in snow white, the vicious queen mush and have to kill the growing up beauty. So, as the people,the planet citizen, we advocate peaceful relation and cooperation. But the reality is not allowed. Competition will always be here. The best way is China USA and Rusa all run quickly, keep the completion and relatively balance. We should lean from wold war 1 and 2, the confront if go to the wrong way it will become too much dangerous. Cyrus, also this relation tension between china and USA within future 10 to 20 years will not have fundamental change. the hope that hold hands and enjoy the mutual prosperity is vain. Maybe I'm to much pessimistic. But, your channel, your advacation is positive one, at least let people from western know more about real China.

  7644. Finally, there is a fair statement amid this worldwide anti-Asian racism wave. I like the fact that you compared the stats in BC and Italy, but i think there are several other reasons for Chinese helping to flatten the curve here. First, the Chinese are not unfamiliar with the lockdown. 17 yrs ago, SARS also forced the nation to take some of the most rigorous measures to control the virus spread, including the shutdown in the major cities. I was still in China during that time. I still remember the empty streets in my city. The place had never been that quiet before. Also, just 4 or 5 years ago, during the most polluted time in China, people already cut down the outdoor time and reduce unnecessary trips rather than going to work and buying groceries. Second, and this might be a bit controversial. Historically, China has thousands of years of feudalism. For good or bad, the people are used to following orders, before was the emperors and now the government. Also thanks to Communism, the party has strict control over how people live and move (But how could that possible? You may wonder, again, following orders without raising questions is what many Chinese were taught from the day they were born.) Is it 100% good? Of course, but it can serve its purpose in times like a pandemic crisis. it's similar to the nation declaring the state of emergency. The centralized power allows the government to react faster. That's why you can see the news that China built a hospital in 10 days, I mean a hospital! (BTW, Trevor Noah did a hilarious clip about it, "in America, it takes longer to get cable installed" the host said, lol). Anyway, without making this an essay (kinda is), just wanted to share my 2 cents. Overall, the video is very informative. Good job Cyrus!

  7898. Cyrus, you should work to become the prime minister of Canada or the president of USA so that the world will be peaceful and prosperous for all countries. I AM SERIOUS. Not sure if you know the profile of the late and former prime minister of Canada, the honorary Pierre Elliot Trudeau, father of the current pm Justin Trudeau. Pierre Trudeau was the prime minister for almost 18 years. Unlike his son Justin, Pierre Trudeau had travelled the world, though not every countries, but at least Asia, in a backpack before he became prime minister of Canada. You are very correct to allude to the fact that a person who has travelled outside of one's birth country become a very seasoned person like yourself, especially the nature and extent of travel like my highly respected Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Pierre has very long term foresight of the future and a very tough man. For example, for long term foresight: he had made Canada the first western country to establish diplomatic relation with China (POTUS Nixon followed suit); for being tough: he was jokingly telling people that he need stainless steel glass for his office windows because the CIA will be looking for an opportunity to assassinate him (this is because a lot of his policies were made in the best interest of Canada, e.g. NEP, which the USA did not like). His son Justin Trudeau is a huge disappointment - I had voted for him the first time because I thought he would have learned something from his highly respected father. Thereafter, I had been wasting my vote to the NDP, knowing it will never win the federal election. I do not like extreme right or extreme left because I believe in "BALANCE" in everything. Extremism are very harmful to humanity, eventually to all levels of humanity. (On the side, if you examine carefully the behaviors of USA and terrorist groups, they both practice extremism with both at two opposite ends of extremism. Therefore, when these two extremism forces meet, bloodshed is the guaranteed result.) Justin has made a lot of huge mistakes, domestically and internationally, which I could see were 100% preventable. I am aware that nobody is perfect and nobody will know everything on earth, but all his mistakes so far were highly preventable if he was leveraging the right resources for advices. A lot of his mistakes do not need a rocket scientist to solve too. I wish his father is still alive to smack his head awake to make him realize the right resources are right in front of him for him to leverage, not trashing them. BTW, quite unrelated to your topic here: government debt to GDP ratio for USA is about 140%, for Canada is about 90%, for Japan is about 250%, for France is about 90%, for Germany is about 50%, and for China is about 50%. For qualified context, the ratio for Greece is about 190%. With these ratios in mind and then heard Justin Trudeau has lost his finance minister Bill Mourneau, only to be replaced by a journalist and non seasoned person, Chrystia Freeland, my mind went wild in guessing how far higher will Justin and Chrystia take Canada's debt to GDP ratio. He seems to be making the same mistakes over and over again by appointing Chrystia as finance minister. The only hope left is to see if Chrystia know where the right resources are and leverage them.

  7993. Cyrus, You have all qualifications to become the next American president. You would prevent wars and stop war trade with China. You would develop multilateral trade with everybody. You would promote cooperation and poverty eradication worldwide, and maybe it is not too late to save western civilization from disintegration. Maybe it is not too late to save the American Empire’s death. 1. You love America and China 2. Uncompromised moral compass (absolute honesty no matter what) 3. Emotional intelligence ( ability to understand China and American culture, and people in general) 4. Intellectual intelligence (you can learn new, difficult thinks like the Chinese language) 5. Open-mindedness (despite early indoctrination about communism you have the capacity to adjust and accept your new view. 6. Communicative skills, engaging, convincing 7. Charisma 8. Aura of originality and mystery (Chinese wife, traveled the world, speak foreign languages) 9. Aura of familiarity (the way you talk, gesture, facial expressions, total and complete lack of pretense, 9. handsome. 10.You can win the election. You would have all American women’s vote guarantee and most men too. No real leader emerged in America. We had a choice between psychopathic narcissists (Trump, Pompeo) and the old dead man walking, with the emptiness of senile dementia in his face, inappropriate senile hypersexuality (hugging for too long, kissing hair, holding hands), inappropriate senile jocularity(come on, man, you know me, man, this was a joke). Cyrus, you still I hope could save everything, if you would be a President.

  8104. Great video! I don't think that your politicians are clueless to the realities on the ground in the US. What we are seeing is a great political atrophy caused by the collapse of the USSR which led the US to be the solitary hegemon on the planet. No need to think or worry about its citizens wellbeing because there is no more USSR to cause a social stir or to compare to. Its weapons and army became invincible and it could reach and over-reach with no qualms or reverberations. But from setting its sights too high, it did not acknowledge the goings on for real people at home, as well as the development of powers abroad. The atrophy also eroded its judgement: previously it spat-on, trampled upon, massacred, robbed and raped countries whose resources needed to undergo the democratic treatment, today its greed is there for all to see flowing through the streets of america in the form of chaos, racism, lack of jobs, destroyed economies, lack of education, homelessness, criminality, suicides and the pandemic, to put the icing on the cake. The atrophy mentioned above has also eroded the last vestiges of humanity from the whole political establishment. The two existing parties today resemble two ultra right-wing factions of a right-wing party. Its not the party or parties, its the system that is rotten to the core and it threatens humanity to the very core of its existence. And the expression of that is the constant political and economic attacks of pretty much the whole world, but most importantly several key nuclear powers like China and Russia.

  8252. Cyrus, can you interview China Bull Jim Rogers? There are two other things I am interested in, that I would invite you to address. First, until about 2015, China was interested in implementing rule of law. In fact it was the subject of the 18th party congress in 2014. China's highest court even referred to their Constitution's guarantees in 2001 (see http://www.tsinghuachinalawreview.org/articles/0202_Morris.htm ). Then this morphed into a related Chinese concept of fazhi (法制) (which is not rule of law, because you cannot challenge State action under it), and has now descended into a situation where there is apparently no desire to have a rule of law. What changed??? (Dare I say, what went wrong). In making that comment, I would observe that you don't need democracy to have rule of law - just an independent judiciary that applies an objective set of norms, which the state apparatus will enforce even if inconvenient to parts of that apparatus, is all that is necessary. England had no democracy, but a pretty good rule of law between 1601 (when Lord Coke challenged the monarchy) and 1832 (first Reform Act). The second point of interest, which you might address, is why cannot mainland Chinese draw a distinction between criticism of the CCP, and the Chinese people. I would like to know how I can be respectful to the Chinese people, and criticize the CCP. If I criticize the US government (as I often do) noone takes that as an attach on the American people (with whom as an Australian I feel there are deep cultural affinities). Even if I say "I am not criticizing the Chinese people and culture (who I sincerely respect), but I do criticize the CCP about topic X" somehow Chinese will wrongly take it as a personal insult. Why? How do I go about criticizing the CCP in a way that respects Chinese people? There must be a linguistic way of doing it, because the people are physical persons, whereas the CCP is a metaphysical political construct. Thanking you in advance for any comment you make.

  8471. 👍👍👍Everything was said so true !! History already taught us to see the truth but people would rather be blind .US government use always have double standard in order to use any excuses to use American tax dollars to spend on wars then whichever the arm cooperation makes the most money is also in charge of president of all present of united state . If president doesn’t listen would end up like John Kennedy . That’s why they all do the same thing to attack others don’t care how to make America better . War seems to bring money to America but it’s not true It only benefits very top of people and I’m dealers only. Because the rest of Americans and majority America’s will pay so much more money to buy everything they see and they need in their daily life. They don’t ever try to use their energy and our text dollars to spend on things to actually benefit all American or directly in any infrastructure building inside of United state . . US needs to create enemy to make rear of Americans to trust it’s right to use tax payers money to attack other countries and protect human rights is top priorities . No countries should have nuclear except US . There are innocent children women men died in every war that ever happened and whoever initiate interfere responsible for all these lives. Whoever instigated to cause divinity of every country is master mind of each war ti break them apart and made million. lives died . If no one is waking up , no one wants to see the truth , if we all allow them to continue interfere other countries that means our life will be worse . we are just going to be end up the same way as those countries were attacked by US with the country US sold weapons to because I always believe what goes around comes around. No leaders cares what’s the best interests for all people , they care to be part of this war to make money that’s why wars can never really end . It ends here then it starts there . and rich will be richest , poor will be poorer because we don’t do anything , don’t make anything but mostly weapon as well as investing majority money on bio labs all over the world, total of over 300 bio labs . There are 26 bio labs in Ukraine . US has some well known leader or professional to talk in the public and share the rest of the world is to make Ukraine to be independent and mutual to benefit arm dealer to develop different kind of bio lab to comical weapons in Ukraine and other European countries rather have Ukraine to have a more laughs inside of Ukraine than their countries. I’ll top leaders knows these kind of things but nobody cares to say because some of the president on the state for years turned in they don’t want to bother to say anything except just makes money put in their pocket and those monies are tax dollars or people who got killed by soldiers who listened to ordered to use weapons to attack other countries or attack each other .. to use God and Religious to brain washed people and avoid to see the truth still believe God will continue allow us to lead the world as God’s will , then turn around to ask forgiveness? when we must be able to see and admit mistake first before we we can be forgiven . It’s in bible but no one wants to see that . This is why what goes around comes around is the way to teach us lesson so we can learn from what we did to others , we are going to finally see , admit , learn from our mistake then make correction . That is the price we are going to pay because we let evil lead us for so long and even our presidents are controlled by them . How is God will tolerate if they really believe God is leading our country? How can they have courage to against God to kill many innocent lives without thinking this will not be punished by God one day ? How can people feel proud to be the citizens to a country as lead of gangsters ? We are paying so much tax dollars to support our government and top leaders to make money from us and use our money to attack others to make money from rest of the world . We will work til we are old and no matter how much money we pay , We cannot survive when we get really old if we want to maintain the same quality of life with the system we have . No matter how much we pay , Social Security isn’t going to give us what we have paid . They use our tax dollars to use on wars bio labs that’s why there’s so many homeless out of there. There people don’t work because the government is trying to print more money for them to stay home. Many people don’t know what’s the meaning of life so they drink all the time and many of them don’t want work. This remind us when they first came to America , they used guns to kill each other and attack each other to get whatever they want . This is their character when they first landed . That’s their concept of the way how they survive is to rub , drink and attack then turn around to worship God . Later on they just use bible to make people to believe that’s how God blessed then and make us believe their action is blessed by God and God bless America to make America great for years which means attack others is the right away See what happened to British after all . No one is intend to see the truth so no one will admit it’s wrong . American is never wrong Everyone believes they should fight for other countries don’t even know why and we continue pay higher tax to allow our tax money to spend on wars so who is making the most interested ? We are all going to do but no one cares to make best use of our life to provide best to others while we are still alive . 🙏

  8601.  @CyrusJanssen  Thanks for the reply Cyrus. I agree that Pelosi's visit was in very bad taste and not helpful, that was wrong and I wish she didn't do that. I really appreciate your comment and wish you would make videos with content like what you replied to me. Call China out when it's wrong too, make a video calling out China's over the top reaction and explaining why that's dangerous as well. I just feel like I only see videos on your channel criticizing the US's actions around most issues, not China, which feels biased and one-sided when the reality is much more grey (both sides have been acting dangerously). Yes Pelosi's visit was in poor taste and bad diplomacy that only increased tensions. But China's threats to invade Taiwan and to shoot a senior US government official's plane out of the sky were not only also very dangerous and counterproductive, but are much more severe than Pelosi's visit itself. The US does need to be more clear on its Taiwan stance. But China needs to be more clear on its Taiwan stance too. At certain times it claims it will only attempt reunification peacefully, and then at other times through any means necessary (implying through force) and also actively conducting military drills dangerously close to Taiwan further suggesting its willingness or intention to use force to reunify if necessary. Is it any wonder other countries are skeptical of the statements by the Chinese government about peaceful reunification when there are constant military drills around Taiwan? Tensions are not simply rising because of Biden's mixed signals, but also because of China's mixed signals and unnecessary aggression. If China would make it clear to the world once and for all that it would never use force against Taiwan and cease all these military drills close to its shores and in its airspace, then the world would be better off. This isn't a one-sided issue. China is every bit as much at fault for rising tensions around Taiwan as the US if not moreso. If China ceased provocative military drills near Taiwan and dial it back on the rhetoric this would become a non-issue. I know you're a smart and educated guy, and as a fellow American who has also spent a good chunk of my life living in and studying China, I know you're just as aware as I am that there needs to be more good faith discussions on US-China relations. But in order to do that there needs to be a willingness to analyze and call out the good and bad of both sides. I just don't feel like I've seen as much of that as there should be from your videos, on Taiwan especially. As a fan of yours, I hope that changes, because we'll never see the future of improved China-US relations if the situation is only viewed from the lens of one side. And looking at the situation from the lens of both sides begins with recognizing when each side is wrong and why (aka what they could improve on).

  8602. This video is absurd Cyrus, I thought the whole purpose of this channel was to help bridge the divides between the US and China, but all I see from your content is more pro-China grievance politics bashing the US and never calling out the other side. You're acting as if the US is preparing for war over Taiwan, but you're forgetting the biggest part. The US will ONLY go to war over Taiwan if China goes to war over Taiwan. The one who would be starting this conflict would be China. If I were Biden and asked about Taiwan I'd reply with something like: "America is committed to peace in the South China Sea and in Taiwan, but we are only committed to peace as much as China is committed to peace. If China chooses violence and aggression, which the US will do everything to avoid through diplomatic means, then the US will be forced to respond in kind. China is the one who gets to choose between peace and war in Taiwan, so China, for the sake of a more peaceful world, we ask you to choose peace in Taiwan." You're happy to call out the US for every single one of its faults, but never call out China for its faults. Well I'll do it for you then. China is being far far too aggressive when it comes to Taiwan. LEAVE THEM ALONE. You don't need them. They don't want to be reunited with the mainland. China is already a huge country with a growing economy. It also has plenty of problems as is, the last thing it needs is to potentially spark a huge war with Taiwan, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and all of Europe. I am more than willing to call out the US when it is being overly aggressive, but this is not one of those instances. China is the one flirting with war and it is entirely unnecessary.

  8655. Hi Cyrus, As someone who's lived in China for nearly a quarter century now I really appreciate your content and the information you are putting out regarding China and how it is responding to the Covid pandemic. I would like to see more of it but while I appreciate so much focus on the lockdowns and how it effects the daily life of people in China if you could, I would love to see you address another Covid related issue China is experiencing right now that is hardly mentioned. That would be the great lock-out. Like many others I have found myself locked out of China, my home for the last 24 years. In 2020 after travelling to the UK to see my son a couple of days after the start of the new year I found myself locked out of China once the pandemic began. I did not make it back to my home in Beijing until near the end of October 2020 nearly 10 months away from my wife and my home. Then life returned to normal, sort of. China had pretty much recovered and life nearly normal. So, thinking this would remain the case when August 2021 rolled around I took the chance to try and see my son again in the UK. I was double vaccinated with the Sinopharm vaccine and told I would be allowed to return because of this. I arrived back in the UK on the 6th of August and was supposed to return home at the beginning of November. Then several things happened, I caught Covid for the 2nd time and had to change my flight. Problem is that by the time I was ready to go home I was not being allowed to. Even though the rules regarding my own visa and vaccination status were saying I was allowed to return, the airlines were being told by Beijing to cancel those flights. Add to this that my existing ticket had a routing through HK to complicate matters further. But regardless I am locked out again and currently approaching the 9 month mark away from my wife and my home on a financially draining trip as I am American, not British and staying in hotels for 9 months can get pretty expensive. I do not have a home in the US so going there would not help either. The only thing I want to do is return home to Beijing. I do not believe that the great lockout is only effecting me. The government is not forthcoming with any news or estimates of when this might change, when the borders might reopen and it's very frustrating. I'm sure there are plenty of other Expats and foreign residents of China having the same problem. So if you are looking for another China/Covid related subject to tackle this one might be a good place to start. Thank you Cyrus for all your informative content. Stay healthy!

  9259. Cyrus thanks for this video & also thanks to Governor Bob Holden & Ms Fan. I agree with what was discussed in this video. The US government needs to change its foreign policies regarding hegemony. After WW2, the US had gone to war against many countries & maintained 800 military bases around the world just to maintain its hegemony. These actions do not contribute to world peace & prosperity. The US must treat every nation with respect & as an equal. China in its development over the past 70 years posed no threat of war to any nation. In this short period China becomes the 2nd largest economy in the world & lifted 800 million people out of poverty. This is one great achievement in history. What does it matter if China becomes the number one economy in the world. Why is the US trying to contain China from rising. Instead the US should learn from China on how China achieve so much. It would be a win-win situation for both countries. I think the US can learn from 2 great sportsmen - Roger Federer & Rafael Nadal. They competed against each other many times. On the tennis court, they are rivals & each person did their best to beat the other. But once the game is over they remained close friends. This is something the US can learn- compete with China & remain friends. Both countries can jointly contribute to world peace & prosperity. The US must stop its hegemony or there will be no peace in the world. The billions of dollars the US spends on wars & maintaining military bases should be spent on Americans living in poverty & or homeless.

  9801. Hi Cyrus 😊. I found you because of Kirk. I’m usually known for getting into twitter fights over China, getting suspended, threatened with a ban for posting a UN White Paper on China, (apparently that = “Chinese propaganda🙄) or getting hacked by the “loverly” cult that produces this fish wrapper in your video...several times. They don’t like me very much. I’m currently on an extended twitter sabbatical because after my last suspension and hack, I desperately needed a sanity break. (Being a former physician here in the US..well, a sanity break was literally the least I could do right now.). I also tend to leave a lot of pro-China comments on youtube, and get into frequent comment quarrels. 😁. I’ve had a growing number of YT Comments mysteriously disappear recently, shortly after posting. I’ve written for some left-leaning websites in the past, but most recently, I wrote some articles regarding China issues on medium and all but one of those was removed for supposedly being “propaganda”. Just another example of hypocris....I mean “free speech”. Long story short; my Son began traveling to China when he was a student ambassador and counselor for Chinese students at his university. He made some close friends and it has been his dream to return and work there after finishing his MBA-which he did last year. 😁 (it took him awhile because like me, he’s ADD and needed to experience a few short careers and some chaos prior to returning to school. I had returned to school at age 30 to finish my degree and go to Med School as a single mom with 3 kiddos. Why take the easy way when there’s a much more complicated and controversial path? 😁). My son convinced me to start learning Chinese calligraphy, brush painting and the language about 5 years ago. Several years in, i was “adopted” by one of his friend’s beautiful 83yr old (then) grandmother, a retired professor who was at Stanford for about 25yrs before retiring back to China with her wonderful Western MD/TCM Husband. Nainai Lili, provided me with a shocking re-education in history, culture, economics and politics of China; and I will always be grateful for the chaos she brought to my life! 😂. After learning how badly we have been lied to; as my kids say, “oh sh!t, mom’s on another mission!” 😁 My son and I, and possibly my eldest daughter, had planned on moving to China late this year. That has obviously been put on indefinite hold. 😔 I thought you may find these interesting and I have one more I need to hunt down. Enjoy! (PS NEVER tweet about the cult’s wacko leader and his imaginary naked space mermaids! 😂) https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-qanon-impending-judgment-day-behind-facebook-fueled-rise-epoch-n1044121 https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/how-the-epoch-times-became-one-of-trump-s-biggest-supporters-66596933716 Here’s the one I was missing... https://www.thedailybeast.com/bannon-teams-up-with-chinese-group-that-thinks-trump-will-bring-on-end-times

  10118. As a Chinese who spent his first 25 years in China, then lived in Australia for over 20 years, I have to agree with Cyrus completely on this: Chinese people as a whole, do not hate America. On the contrary, we learned in the school that America has a long friendly relationship with China in history (at least comparing to other imperial contries, America looked much more fair and friendly). She helped us to fight off Japanese invasion during WWII, and has played a significant role in past 40 years on pushing China towards opening up and reforming, and helping China on achieving prosperity it has achieved today. Most of Chinese, including me, my friends and families, at least in the past, admire America for its advanced technology, free spirited people, and honestly envy their high living standard, which is why China actually has been always use America as a model to focus on developing in past decades (funny enough, it used to be USSR). However, we are extremely frustrated at the fact that US (or most of western countries, including Australia, which I treated as my second mother land) always, for whatever reasons, choose to ignore obvious facts, and try to criticize whatever China is doing from every possible aspects in the most nasty ways. In Chinese culture, we like being moderate, very much welcome constructive criticism, but hate arrogance and being opinionated. It is such a shame to see the relationship between US and China deteriorating. Please keep up the excellent work Cyrus: there is no reason why US and China can't work together for a better future for every one.

  10399. Hi Cyrus, thank you to share your journey. Kudos to you Sir. You have done very well. I have similar journey as yours. I was born and raised in China. I left China on January 15, 1991 when I had an opportunity to go to America for 6 months training. Before I went to US, I had gain some success as a young man having a job offer after my college training at the best city in China, Shenzhen. I came to America for pure personnel experience. I had a good job and I worship God as a Christian in Shenzhen. I was baptized in Shenzhen in 1990 at a natural lake, Silver lake. No one bother me then. Shenzhen just as same as America city then. I spent 3 best years of my life from 1988 through 1991 in Shenzhen city. I was prepared to go to New Zealand to study English, just cheaper than other countries then. Just more opportunity in Shenzhen then than most cities inside China. So when this opportunity dropped in front of me from no where, I grabbed it. I remember so well that day when I arrived at Texas. A dude named Richard picked me up and drove me to his house before I could find an apartment. My dad's friend knew Richard. We are still friends today. Last 29 years, I encountered a lot. My first job was $3.85 per hour in 1991 at McDonald cooking hamburger. In 1992, raised to $4.25 per hour. I had many jobs. Never fired from any job, always move to better pay, not much more really, $1 more or less, very slowly growing. Only way to make it was to work 2 or 3 jobs and spent no money for years. As summary, today I am a husband last 28 years to the same woman and we have two children, both in University of Texas. My son was national merit scholarship finalist in 2018 and score 35 for ACT. He was also member of Texas boy state and was one of the 26 elected boy state mayors. He is an accomplished oil painter and first chair clarinet player through the high school. He won some state level competition for solo as well. He was head drilled instructor at senior year, "DI" in high school is huge deal. The kids in the band called my son nick name "daddy". I am very proud of my son. He is a natural born leader. I love my son. He will be a medical surgeon one day. By the way, he is the vice president to UT Origami club. He is a professional in origami. He is also an intern for governor. He spent hours in this hobby last 12 years. He also did debate, tennis, you name them. He did all. All top level in anything he set foot on. Plus a happy kid and enjoy fine food. Me? I am doing fine. I became a first Chinese officer in my agency from China. I was very first one to break the celling I guess. I have been a police Lieutenant almost three years. I have been a patrol man last 23 years. Cyrus, you might have some idea about patrol man in US. A lot of shooting in our cities. Not rumor, just way of life. I am bold and have no fear, that save me many times. Just pure lucky dude on earth. I took advantages of my benefits as a cop for school. I back college in 2003. I spent 9 years in US college system and earned my doctor of pharmacy in 2012. 80% cost paid by government. Cyrus, undergraduate is piece of cake to me, I had no problem to be a patrol man at night and full time student on day with 3.79 GPA. But Pharmacy school is no joke and no love when you fail to pass 70 or 69.5 for some courses. It did kick my butt big time. I pray a lot then. No curve in my college and no love. In my collage of Pharmacy, bottom 15% will fail. I was able to managed to pass one semester at a time. It took me additional one year, instead 4 years program, it took me five years. Started with class 2011, finished with class 2012. I might be the only cop/pharmacist in my state. The pharmacists in Canada must take the exact same board exam before practice, NAPLEX. 5 hours exam with passing score 75, I score 97 at my first attempt in 2013. I practice pharmacy part time. Maybe one day I can move to Canada to practice pharmacy there. I love Canada, more like Colorado feeling. I love Colorado state, God's country in deed. Did I turn you off by bragging at your post? Sorry, if I did, you can delete my post. Love my country and I have paid my due.

  10452. Thank you Cyrus, this video is very inspiring to me. I have been working in Europe for 2 years and previously was a Chinese oversea student for 3 years. At this moment, I have to make an important decision in a month, on whether to stay in Europe for longer or go back to China. In the last 5 years I have witnessed a lot of changes in china. Many opportunities have emerged. And it makes me want to go back when my colleague in Europe say to me : China is the future. My perception about the west nations has also changed, especially after covid regarding politics. However, nothing changes my love to both China and Italy. I can see lights in both countries. My experience here in Italy is amazing and has definitely given me more possibilities in the future. Friends here are super supportive and important. My choice of whether to stay longer has little to do with whether this nation is good or bad. China is far from perfect, but is growing so fast and I am positive about its promising future. Also, it is home and I miss my family. I often confront misconceptions about China in Europe because of their media, which bothers me a lot ( but I feel there's less bias here than in the US, AUS or Canada). This is another reason other than the good opportunities that makes me feel like going back. Anyway, my point is, there are many factors that influences your life choices, keep it up wherever you are and make the best out of it. It's even better if your are a global citizen. Great video! Best wishes to you and your family.

  10521. Hi Jansen, it took me many years to figure out why each and every western media outlet instinctively demonize and lie about China. Take a look at the conglomerates. Mark Zuckerberg kowtow to China until the day that he realized that Facebook will be banned in China, regardless of his efforts. Since then he turned into a China hawk. You can say the same about Google. On the other hand, Tim Cook of Apple speaks favorably of China because Apple is allowed to make billions there. Further, Elon Musk is practically an emissary of China because he got to be the richest person in the world because of China. As you can see, money talks and drives. This will never change. Many people realized that the conglomerates are for-profit organizations but they somehow forgot the western media outlets are also for-profit orgs. First of all, none of the western media outlets can make money in China. On the other hand, they make billions but only in countries that are democratic, where they are allowed to totally control the news. Of course, they want everyone to hate countries that are not democratic. If I were the owners of CNN and Foxnews, I want everyone to hate non-democratic countries. Give me one good reason why I should open everyone's eyes. I am better off protecting my crown jewels. Western media will always bash China to protect their own financial interest. Americans will always hate China because they read only western media. Western politicians will turn into China hawks to optimize the votes and win elections. So it all drives by money: Money ---> western media ---> Westners ----> politicians ---> money. This is the democratic cycle. Whenever one cannot explain strange phenomena, simply look into the money trail. There, everyone becomes explanatory. Just my 2 cents for all your good work.

  10524. I grow up in a very small city in northern China, I still remember when I started attending elementary school in 1995, me and my sister were walking to school in the middle of the ONLY road our hometown had. There was literally no car on the street in the morning, meanwhile, both my parents riding bikes to work and so does everybody else. Around 2000s, motorcycles became really popular and we also got two motorcycles at our home, then later around 2007, my dad bought the first car of our family, a Nissan Versa, and so does a lot of my classmates are dropped off from a car every morning outside my high school. Traffic started to get stocked in the morning and no one ever walks in the middle of the street anymore. The last time I went back to my hometown was in the winter of 2013, I see Audis, Mercedes and BMW all over the street, and my father was doing some car shopping research online cause he wants to buy my Mom a Lexus series but my Mom wants an Audi A4. I am not sharing an individual story of how my life changes the past 20 years, I am sharing a kind of story that happened to many friends and classmates around me. Our lives were dramatically improved over the past two decades, and when you zoom out, you find out that it did not just happen in my hometown, it happens to the whole of China within my generation, that is why we love China, that's why we love the CCP. For me, they did everything they could to make a working-class family like mine be able to let the bicycles go and own new cars. I moved to LA in 2015, it has been over 5 years now, that HWY I-10 east which I am taking to work every day has been under some kind of reconstruction forever and still not completed, yet holes are EVERYWHERE on the roads... No change at all.

  10552. Mr. Janssen! I found your acessment to be very interesting but not totally sound. The Putin regime has become war criminals from an illegal and unjust war on the nation of Ukraine,this makes them liable for restitution for all the damage of this nation. So to take money from the war criminals would be sensible but if the world thinks Putin has done nothing wrong, in the future will be a greater deception for destruction of the people. Communism history is a Godless one! So to trust in that kind of leadership is to follow blind guides into destruction! A Palestinian State? This has got to be the greatest example in the eyes of the world! of the blind leading the blind! The nation of Israel was attacked in October with pure evil! and are still being attacked! and the blind guides of the world are trying to force Isreal to make peace with the evil workers that are attacking them! and then create a Palestinian State. That is foolishness ! Just like Ukraine,the nation of Israel is totally! justified in there actions and rightly so to demand restitution! from the evil agencies. Communism has a history of being strongly against human rights and an aggressor! So, if the world chooses to side with evil! then I can boldly say, the worst is yet to come! The change in currency? America never should have left the gold standard and should have never had a federal reserve central Bank system. So, deception in the shadows also continue in America to in high places, to help the decline of America.
