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.

I'm a Jamaican who has lived in the US for 24 years, and Cuba is only 90 miles from us. We love Cuba and the Cuban people.
America has strangled the Cuban economy for the last 40+ years, and that couldn't break them, and America has sponsored the worst and bloodiest election in Jamaican history, by giving the opposition guns, because the other side were close to Cuba.
America has done nothing but brain drain my country, and explore it for cheap labor, now I can proudly say that China has been building much needed infrastructure in our country, and its a good look.
America actually took notice as to what has been happening, and wanted to make their presence felt, so they sent an admiral of the navy to deliver their message. Not a diploma, someone from the military.
Message received loud and clear, and we are pressing ahead full steam. We may live in your backyard, but the land that we are on is ours.

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.

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

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.

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!

Trump, Pompeo and US congress have turned many overseas Chinese from being pro-USA to being pro-China. Myself has been pro-USA all my life, worked in US for almost 2 years, followed CNN and CNBC, believed in Tiananmen Massacre, and often debated with my dad who is pro-China. I got converted because of US meddling in HK riot last year, saw thru the evil of US, the more I read alternative news sources, the more I found out about US skeletons, Iraq WMD lie, Iran sanction, Venezuela sanction, Ukraine color revolution and so much more. Me and my dad now on same page with regards to US vs China.

Another reason why Eva Dou’s article (and her follow up tweets arguing that people cannot now eat to their heart’s content) is so misleading, is because it completely ignores cultural practice in China.
When Chinese dine out with guests, it is common for the host to over order by 50% or more, because it would be deeply embarrassing to have your guests leave the meal still hungry.
As guests, it is polite for you to leave some leftovers on the table, as a signal to your host that you are not hungry anymore. Both these forces result in a lot of unnecessary food waste.
Hence, this anti-food waste campaign gives both host and guests a good reason to be careful with the amounts ordered and to finish the food that has been ordered. It is a totally logical and environmentally friendly policy, that makes sense to 99% of Chinese, who understands the context of such a policy.
This is the real shame, that a journalist with a Chinese sounding name, failed to or deliberately didn’t put the policy in the correct context, but instead re-contextualized it in a negative light through a Western lens, which totally misrepresented the situation.

Another great episode Cyrus, thank you.
The reasons why you are so well received in China is that right from the start, you made an effort to understand the Chinese language, embraced the Chinese culture, and most importantly, you went with an open mind.
Talking about learning a second language, I have a small joke to share: If you speak three languages, you are tri-lingual, if you speak two languages, you are bi-lingual, and if speak only one language, you are, no, not mono- lingual, nor uni-lingual, you are, an American!
Talking about Chinese people love to save and American living from pay check to pay check, just look at all these small financial stores all over North America, “same day loans”, “pay day advances”, “$300 for $20” etc., all these stores charges exorbitant rate of interests disguised as processing fees. The poor just become poorer.
I’ve been to China more than 20 times, never saw such a store there.

Thank you Cyrus for taking the time to make this video. It is fair to say that in any country with presidential elections, a leader such as Xi would be enthusiastically re-elected for a 3rd term, so it is no surprise that he was himself re-elected by his peers within the party. But your assessment of the challenges to come is also very honest. Those are not the result of mis-management by Xi or the party. Declining birth rates and aging population are a problem facing every developed country. Also, doubling the amount of STEM graduates so fast will inevitably make it more difficult for them to find a job. The real estate crisis was long in the making, and eventual the "bubble" had to burst. Everybody knew that, and the government has tried in many ways, and continues to try, to engineer a "soft landing" in the sector. Hopefully this will be resolved in the coming year or so without too much damage. Growth is inevitably slowing in relative terms, but if you look at absolute numbers, even a growth of 4% adds much more to the GDP than a growth of 10% 10 years ago. The numbers are just staggering. So China starts to face the same problems as other developed countries now. It's a new ball game, let's see how they can handle it. It is however sad that geo-political games played by the US are so damaging for both countries, and the rest of the world. More than ever, the world needs to unite in peace to face the upcoming challenges. It's no time for war and division.

A lot of people from Northeast China went to live in other countries at the time of 20. There is a special historical background here, when Northeast China had lower income and fewer job opportunities due to economic transformation, causing many Northeasterners to choose to go abroad for labor. Now such a situation has been much less. Many Chinese people in the United States is no sense of belonging, but because China is developing so fast, once they choose to go abroad, they are completely out of touch with the development of China. The possibility of returning to China is getting lower and lower. This driver boy, he is very simple, he is in the United States for more than a decade but still use the Chinese perspective to see the United States, this is enough to explain the problem. In addition, Chinese people in the United States should understand that whether you have a U.S. passport or not, but in the eyes of Americans you are still Chinese. Passports don't change anything.

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.

an Iphone made in China, Apple got 70% profit, Korea and Japan got 20% profit, Taiwan got 5% profit, Chinese salesman got 3% profit, Chinese workers only got 2% profit, Apple's biggest market is still China, then Trump said China is ripping off Americans?? No, just like Jack Ma said, it's USA spending your money on 13 wars, it's USA government ripping off Americans!

Cyrus, I think the “Shanghai Disney” analogy is apt. Headline writers can draw in more readers by sensationalism, or use of fear-inducing words. Shorthand for this is “clickbait” on the Internet. Anti-China content creators are very clever in doing so, and eliciting emotions, generating both hate and fear. It’s also an effective diversionary tactic if a political faction in a certain country wishes to have people look away from their own internal failures, creating a scapegoat. It’s a tried and true approach by countries that are weak or failing. Blame the “other” for their own problems. It’s counterproductive for that country, and ultimately dangerous. As you said in the video, we have to hope for more level heads and change from this confrontational path, which can lead to conflict, possibly with catastrophic results. What you and expat China vloggers are doing is pro-peace, and that should be good enough for anyone!

Additionally, China is home to 80-90% of the world's rare earth metals production. Rare earth metals are used in batteries, magnets, LEDs, screens, hard disks, solar panels, wind turbines, smart phones, etc. Therefore, it's impossible to decouple with China's economy.

The United States is undoubtedly doing something stupid. China is the largest consumer of semiconductors, accounting for 45% of global chip demand. In 2019 alone, China imported 302 billion US dollars worth of chips, even tens of billions of dollars higher than crude oil imports. The United States thinks that by blocking chip exports, it can defeat Huawei and China, but has China ever chosen to compromise because of a foreign technology blockade? The United States rejected China’s participation in the International Space Station project 20 years ago, so China explored and researched on its own. Eventually, China will build a space station in 2022. The International Space Station will be decommissioned, by then, the Chinese Space Station will become the only one space station on this planet. The United States has used various technological blockades and suppression methods to fight against China, however the losses of American companies are undoubtedly the most because they have lost the world's largest market.

During the 90s, my father, an army colonel of the ROC, decided it was time we departed Taiwan and retired from the armed services. Thus our family found a fresh start in New Zealand, away from possible war and the PRC. What's funny is, more than two decades later, my brother is now working as a post-doc researcher of theoretical physicals in Sichuan university. While its not as developed as NZ in some respects, he loves it there. He is of the opinion that as the Chinese continue to excel in many important human endeavours, the world will have no choice but to re-evaluate this country.
China is changing very rapidly and for the most parts, is making positive progress. To those who cannot see it, I can but suspect you're choosing not to.

I’m very optimistic about China’s future. The trend in my opinion is very clear. American decline is actually accelerating and China’s rise is also accelerating. I don’t know any American who is proud of their government, everyone is moving to either extreme left or extreme right.
US’ own allies are all in a mess, Japan, UK, Germany are in deep troubles. Canada and Australia are heavily dependent on US, so when US goes down, they go down. Almost all the other countries want to befriend or work closely with China, which most westerners won’t hear about in western MSM, but is happening. In 5 years, Taiwan will be back and Yuan will be bigger than Euro, and China will dominate the car market. Can’t be more proud to be an ethnic Chinese

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.

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....

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.

Mr. Koo mentioned CATL. If one had been following the Fortune 500 companies list and the Forbes billionaires list, one would have spotted something significant. China has about the same number of companies and billionaires on both lists. China has a new generation of internet, green energy, and logistics billionaires-Wechat, Tiktok, JD, CATL, EVs, while some of the largest companies in the US are oil companies, banks, insurance, as well as weapon manufacturers which in China, are State Owned Enterprises. In other words, China does not encourage or allow oilmen billionaires, bankers billionaires, or weapon billionaires but those who can contribute to society and the world. How can any civilized government allow oilmen to make billionaire when its people suffer from inflation? How can they allow bankers to make billionaires when evicted homeowners sleep in tents? And weapons, the shootings the wars, are you kidding me?

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

Cyrus, you said what needed to be said. I would just add that being invited to be a guest on CGTN neither makes you a “CCP shill” nor a communist sympathizer. Just this year, well-known Americans such as President Bush’s brother Neil Bush, China expert professor Jeffrey Sachs, and former Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian affairs Susan Thornton have been among the many prominent American guests on the network. They all share one thing in common with each other and with you: they are not China hawks.
They each favor dialogue and a more constructive, cooperative, less-confrontational relationship with China. Does that make Thornton, Sachs, and Bush “pro-China” or “pro-CCP”? No, it makes them, like you, pro-peace and understanding.
What is going on here is red-baiting right out of the playbook of the McCarthy era. SerpentZa is being a far right South African Joe McCarthy when he is attacking you in the way he did. Same with Laowhy86. I thought that ugly era in American history was in the distant past, never to return. But it has with regard to China. Good work explaining the truth in this video, Cyrus!

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."

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.

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.

I full heartedly agree! Thank you for spreading the truth, Cyrus! So refreshing to see your video after seeing all the lies being spewed from the politicians & on the internet. I am a 60 year old Hong Kong born American citizen, I've lived in the US since I was 9 years old. 75 percent of my friends/neighbors/co-workers, etc. are Caucasians, I love all things American & I am proud to be a Chinese American. However, it hurts me to see how all these lies are being spewed on the internet about China & the Chinese government. I am also sad to see how the 2 nations' relationship is deteriorating. Although I grew up in the US, I was brought up with traditional Chinese thinking & teachings (my mom is 104 years old who has moved back to Hong Kong when I was 13 years old, she raised me with traditional Chinese upbringing). I know & understand how most Chinese think & behave. Not saying the Chinese government or the Chinese population is perfect but just from past few thousand years of Chinese history, I know the Chinese do not have any ill intentions to inflict on the world. If you look at all the movies & TV series that China recently produces (the ones I see on Netflix & Amazon Prime, anyway), they all are pretty non-violent & most have good moral value.

Let me share the story of another athlete called Vanina Guerillot, which is very similar to Eileen's. Vanina Guerillot's was born in France, her mother is a french-born Portuguese, and her father is french, but she chooses to represent Portugal, her mother's country, in Alpine skiing in the Beijing Winter Olympics. Vanina was coached by her father in France since childhood. I guess she benefited from all the advanced coaching and installations in France since skiing isn't a popular sport in Portugal. See the similarities? So, what all the fuss was about?
People who found Eileen's choice so outrageous really need to go out more, see the world. Oh, and let me guess, Eileen's coaching was paid by American taxpayer's money, right? That's why they are mad? From my experience, nothing is free in sport, a club would be willing to train you, but in return, it expects you to represent the club, to win medals in competitions. So. I think Eileen doesn't own anything to anyone, as she already represented well enough whatever club coached her.

Thank you for the video. First of all, I really don’t know where the Western world led by US thinks that they have the right to dictate others of their so-called value? When they accept equal right regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, wealth among a whole lot of other stuff, why do they think their political system is THE one, especially when the so-called democracy exists by name only? Voting is just an expensive and meaningless exercise to let the politicians think that they got the “by the People” authorization but in fact, the “of” and “for” parts already switched over to mega enterprises that contributed big bucks in exchange of policies in their favour.
For years I have been wondering why Marxism was so speedily accepted by Chinese intellects at the final stage of Qing Dynasty and now I think I know why. Because Marxism matches the ancient Chinese political ideology - the governance such that you not only love your own child but all children, not only your own seniors but all seniors alike, such society that children, seniors, widowers and widows, the lonely people, handicapped or the sicks are all looked after, talents are put into suitable use, wealth left on the ground shall not be picked up as we are not the rightful owners. Doors need not be locked in night time as there shall be no thief. Such thinking already existed in China during Qin and Han dynasties which was around 300-200 BC.

Hello Cyrus, thank you for your insight. I'm Chinese from Taiwan and moved to Canada for 30 years. The surveillance camera is also very common in Taiwan, at least in Taipei. I'm able to enjoy walking at night after midnight without having to worry about my safety. I can go to night market or walk to a nearby convenience store for snacks no matter how late it is, isn't this a type of freedom?
As for the freedom to vote, yes Taiwan currently have the right to vote for our president. However, Chiang Ching-kuo was considered by many people in Taiwan as our greatest president, and he was not even elected, it was passed down by his father Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Ching-kuo was responsible for the "Big 10 infrastructure" that lifted Taiwan's economy, he called back elite engineers from all over the world to improve infrastructure and policies, start up many successful companies like TSMC. That was period of "Taiwan Economic Miracle".
Since then, we had a change in policy where we get to vote for our president, but the economy got worse and worse, the starting salary almost didn't improve for nearly 20 years, and the conflict between 2 major parties and their supporters got even worse.

Cyrus, why do you need to be apologetic and say "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean we need to get more like China.". Actually, if ANY country gets something done right and better than our country, there is absolutely nothing wrong in saying that we need to be more like that country, in how it does well in that particular area. No country can or will copy another country fully, but a country should be open minded to learn from the best practises of other countries. China is successful precisely because it first learns, then experiments, and if successful, expands to the whole country. It also improves to be even better than the original version. Repeat that many times over decades, you get results. My country , Singapore, does the same for many decades too, so we are OK, but of course we are too small and talent pool is in no way comparable to China. We can't compete with China, so we hope to partner China for our future success.

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.

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.

As you know Cyrus, despite America's role in the Opium Wars and sacking of the Summer Palace, etc., China wants to be a friend of America. Notwithstanding the ideological differences, China does not hate the US since the "reform" period. It is rather sad that American geopolitics cannot get away from the mantra "commies bad, west good". Whatever China does, for the US it is tainted because the actor is a communist power. Conversely, like the theological dogma that says, Right is what God does, even when He drowns people in a universal flood, right is everything America does. It can do.no wrong!

I can't agree more with you Cyrus, when I traveled for my vacation every year (I can't say many countries but several), the more I traveled the more I feel that people in the world are similar, no matter which race or culture we are, we all want to work hard to have a better job, better earnings and have a better life for our family! When we travel more then we realize that we know too little about this world, it's good to explore and get more information from different channels, not only one or two of the major Medias. The Earth is round, don't think about the place we live is the center of the world, we need to expect with each other, expect the cultures that are different from ours. As you said, every country has its positive and negative things.

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.

Hey Cyrus
You brought up a really interesting point at the end hope you can give some insight on your perspective as an ex-pat.
Over the past few years, many MANY western politicians start sprouting this idea, including Erin O'Toole before the recent election, that "Oh we love the Chinese people, we love everything about them. WE JUST HATE THEIR GOVERNMENT" but use this as an excuse to exercise blatant double standard actually hurt relationship with China, Chinese citizens, and Chinese communities here in the western countries.
-ex. targeting Huawei (private owned business just cause Ren Zhengfei had a supposed military background he must be controlled by the Chinese government, meanwhile many MANY companies elsewhere are just fine when have ties to gov. Google, Facebook, Bombardier, etc)
-ex. target Chinese apps (Wechat, Tictok cause big data is collecting information on their users, when its already an open secret that ALL apps are doing them)
-ex. targeting Chinese international student ( cause international students from China who go into say Tech or medical field are just Chinese spies who want to steal IP. )
and of course the all famous "all who spoke well of China are wumao"

Thank you for this video Cyrus!
You are spot on with the mention of 低调, but on the other side of the coin , people would say that it is "suppression"
For these people, I feel sorry for them that they "don't get it"
There are many permutations for 低调, and one of them is simply humility and "knowing one's place" and these are nothing to do with "suppression" or "oppression".
Thanks to your video, I now fully understand what happened to Jack Ma, and I was also concerned before.
I can understand that through one's rise, like Ma's, one can get carried away at times if one does not constantly be alert to his own "volume" of how "loud one is speaking".
There's also a Chinese saying 饭可以乱吃,话不可以乱讲,
which translates to "You can eat whatever you want, but you cannot simply say whatever you want"
again, not against "freedom of speech - and even this has its limits as we as seen" it is about you can eat what you want as it only affects you if you get food poisoning but if you say whatever you want, it affects others.

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.

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!

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..

Brilliant Cyrus, a couple of add-ons to bring to the table: Why on earth would Saudi Arabia want to buy Kosher (which is a Jewish culture) rather than Halal organs, if such a thing existed? And, on the same topic, Xinjiang is famous for its meat, expecially lamb, so they aren't vegetarians, in fact, they hardly eat vegetables at all. Noodles, meat and a lot of potatoes. MY favourite food is Xinjiang Dapenji (big plate of chicken)
Another point to raise is that smoking and jaywalking are illegal in all developed countries and get you a fine - however, outside of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, smoking is ubiquitous including in and around restaurants and hotels. The western idea of a social credit score is complete idiocy - I've lived in China, as you know, for 17 years, my wife, her family and none of my friends have a social credit score - they don't need it
Finally, your comment about being brought up to hate is completely spot-on. Chinese admire, respect and, until the Trump era, aspired to be like America. Sadly, you've lost that now, they are looking inward and preferring to remain Chinese now - unfortunately, this is considered negatively in Western media as a form of ultra-nationalism. It's totally America's fault that Chinese people prefer to be more Chinese than American, it was definitely not this way 5 years ago. Jia You!

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.

Absolutely one of your best videos yet Cyrus. The crux of the issue that is western bias and fear of China's govt has always been, in my mind, that we in the west deeply believe our system is the one true form of governance superior to all others, and that everything else is essentially morally bankrupt and can't survive in the long run, much less become a global powerhouse. This is why almost everything China does is viewed as nefarious and painted in a negative way by the west, even if it's something objectively good. If we can be convinced, better yet shown, that there's another way to achieve democratic govt that listens to and heeds the will of the people, this will crack, if not completely shatter, the dark prism through which we see China. Most importantly it will help us to stop viewing China as a threat to our existence and everything that is good, and help us to coexist peacefully in the upcoming multi-polar world. This is what your channel is about, and particularly in this video you spoke to this central issue, and I commend you for it.

Thanks Cyrus for a great video. Perhaps you may want to create a series on China's BRI projects in other regions as well, like Asia, Central Asia, Middle-East and Latam.
Also, as many westerners including the Americans have never travelled to China, you may want to launch a series on China like economic development, infrastructure, city life, rural developments, industries, etc; not necessary very technical but to show the
extent of development over time for the Chinese. Present day China does not occurred over night but over some 40 years of
struggle and effort with the fortune of continuous leadership with foresight since Deng XP.

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.

Cyrus, you are the reason why many Chinese people like myself still have faith in the ordinary and elite Americans who have logical, unbiased and fact-based thinkings and a sane mind like yourself.
As a Chinese who has spent many years in North America, I still believe many ordinary Americans are nice and down to earth. Most of their opinions towards China are simply skewed by the heavily biased mainstream media. My advice to them is to use your democratic and liberal value to embrace other people's perspectives like Cyrus'. Most importantly, if you can, after the pandemic, come to visit China and experience China first hand, talk to the ordinary Chinese people, come to witness not just the phenorminal infrastructures and modern technologies, but also people's lifestyles and well-beings, personal safety, government efficiency, environmental changes, as well as ordinary people's hard-working spirit that have gone through fundamental changes over the last 3 decades.
Then you can draw your own conclusions.

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.

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.

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.

Great vid. Spot on with the anti-Americanism. People don't understand and appreciate the value international students bring to the US, socially, intellectually, financially. Looking at it another way, it's an opportunity for the US to promote inclusion, diversity, democratic ideals, etc. so that when students leave, or decide to stay, they come away with a positive view of the US. Sadly, the US has been moving in the opposite direction. I've got 2 kids here in HK and even as an American, I am questioning whether uni studies in the US is a good option for some of the reasons you mention.
Thanks again for a fab vid. Keep it up!

Damn, all your ideas on so ON POINT, like it's so true, what you're talking about is EXACTLY what many Chinese people think and believe. Tbh, looking at many videos on Youtube, it outrages me on how ignorant and how much false news towards China there is. It's really disappointing to see, China has been growing fast because of their own hard work, they are patriotic. They work hard because they don't want to be bullied again like in the 20 century by many countries, it was the worse time for them. They had been through ALOT, that's why they are working so hard for everything. All the process China today has made is all earned by blood, sweat and tears, if only the world could see that.

Hi Cyrus, this is one of your best Video's, I really enjoyed it and the conversation, the driver was comfortable speaking with you and gave an open and honest view of his experience, having an open and honest dialog is what we need more of, I was born in Michigan and now live in Florida, after loosing my wife of 46 years to an extremely rare illness, I ended up being truly blessed with a woman from Chengdu China, she was the Mother of my last exchange student that my first wife and I had. I ask her a question, Are you Chinese or are you from China? She did not know what to say so she ask me are you an American or are you from the United States and I told her I am from the Planet Earth, I am a member off the human race this is no difference and today I still don't see any. Division is a product of governments to keep us from working together for the common good of the planet.

Cyrus, you’re absolutely right! “When the world’s two greatest superpowers work together, the entire world wins.”
Conversely, when the two are at each other’s throats, the world as a whole loses.
Trump’s hostility towards international law and international institutions appears to be driven by a combination of his “America First” economic nationalism, and anti-multilateralism, and the belief that international law does not reflect American values but threatens American institutions. And that American national interest, and prosperity were not being served by its foreign policy.
In stark contrast is Beijing’s concept of “community of shared future for mankind”’
Hopefully, the burden of partisan politics and entrenched deep state notwithstanding, when Joe Biden, replaces Trump in the Oval Office, Washington will behave and deal with the rest of world in a more dignified and honourable manner.

Another great video and insite!
I remember when Singapore regulated chewing gum and no sugary drinks at school, seems all ok.
And now China is taking similar approach to tech as they see too much obesity because kids just want to sit in front of the phone/ipad screens.
With this and online classes, these kids will be obese and blind by the time they are 30.
And in China, I've been seeing this new term called "revitalize/promote rural development" by the government in which the gov is building infrastructure to rural china, help the small towns find core strengths such as tourism, building guest houses, organic farm tours, hot springs, etc..., and then connecting investors for some of the bigger projects as well as encourage the locals to take a loan at low interest rate to start a business to complement some of these bigger projects, such as organic chicken raising. The gov also teach these small business owners on a business plan, actions, and how to repay the loan. So charity is part of it, but "teach a man how to fish" is the gov's main goal

Hi Cyrus, good video. I have just subscribed to you. To be up front, i am not American and i live in China. I am at the age where i can remember a very well respected president in the USA, who created one of the best quotes, which should be used at the forefront of this pandemic. You have by now undoubtedly recalled the President who comes to mind, as John F Kennedy. He quoted, and my words may not be exact as i am working on memory, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but for what you can do for your country". These became very famous words, and reflect where America with all its patriotism should be today. This should again be the slogan for fighting the pandemic as a way of unifying the American public, against a common enemy not being China, not being Russia, not being North Korea, but in actual fact being COVID19.

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.

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.

Cyrus,
I just want to share my personal view. Western politico and MSM have painted China as having autocracy and can't be trusted, while democracy is good and trustworthy. Well, to me, reality is lottery vs meritocracy. Voting system (democracy?) means if voters are lucky, they get a top leader and a good team. Unfortunately, most of the times, luck is not on their side. What China and Singapore both use is a cadre-system (although one is a democracy and another is autocracy), where political candidates are interviewed to assess their ethics and ability potential BEFORE they are even selected. Then they have to prove their worth by meeting tough KPI, and get rotated through different functions (in Singapore, town mayor, culture, education, finance, military ministries) before they get promoted to the next level). Both China and Singapore then have President/PM of high ethics/calibre. Now, that's the real "systemic challenge" to G7.

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”.

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.
👍👍👍

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.

You're literally the hidden gem, so objective. Backing to be topic, I do feel heartbroken when I saw those horrible anti-asian hate crimes cuz those victims are like my brothers and sisters even we are from different countries, but we have the same color! As a Chinese and an international student student studying in USA, it's unimaginable for me to think what those Asian-americans need to go through when the hate crime happens? It's totally fine if someone told me 'this is not your country, back to China', I wouldn't think too much cuz it's true that I'm not American and I will definitely back to my country. But imagine what Asian-Americans are gonna do when they face it? I bet it would be the heaviest attack to them, where they could go? This is there country! And the most disappointed thing is that many people were just sitting by when the hate crime happened! Hello? Those victims are your compatriots, your fellows, and your big family members! Who you think is obligatory to speak up for them? Me? As a foreigner? No, it's you!!!
Anyways, I sincerely hope things will go better, no more such cruel and savage crimes. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been following this channel for a few months since I discovered Cyrus. Great videos, and clearly very informative. My problem, however, which is why it won’t sadly work, is that it is preaching to the converted. Sadly that is the case of all political channels here. Whilst I agree with him on what he is trying to do and how he is doing it, I also know that the people who REALLY need to watch it, well - they won’t. Hard truth.
Having studied Chinese political history at uni, I am acutely aware that China has NEVER “invaded” another country for territorial gain. It just ain’t what they do. But convincing the nation that brought us Hofstedter’s “The Paranoid Style in American Politics” simply won’t wash, as they steadfastly refuse to learn from history. Period. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya etc etc ALL these losses were avoidable by learning history and then applying it.
In the viet war the VietCong were working to Sun Tsu’s workbook by the letter. And at Westpoint, all graduates had been specifically taught this playbook. But they failed to read it properly…
Case closed…

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.”

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.

The charge is fraud. Under the Canada Criminal Code, the mere suspicion of fraud is sufficient grounds for arrest. This tyrannical standard is also the std in USA. Thus, the 2 countries have reciprocal laws. The Treaty states ANY person who touches down in Canada or USA is subject to Cda AND USA law. Thus the 'murcans demand her arrest per the Treaty. BUT, the sinister aspect is this: the US has withheld critical info from Canada and the court that would prove Meng's innocence. That info are 2 pages removed from the infamous pdf the USA is using to indict. Those pages provide FULL disclosure to HSBC of HuaWei's activities in Iran. The Cda court refuses to accept this info and proof, and indeed has withheld key evidence to Meng's lawyers, thereby violating ALL Canadian legal precepts. And there is more to this case, such as jurisdiction: HSBC is in HK, not Cda, not USA. The case is a total, tyrannical sham, perpetrated by the USA and its accomplice Trudope. Canadians beware: first Assange, now Meng, the rest of you are next.

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.

@CyrusJanssen yes, I agree with you. I think selfishness and ignorance are humans' basic instincts. More so when aversion due to propaganda and politics are involved. As a Chinese born and raised outside of China, I have visited HK and Taiwan before China and given the impression that Chinanese are less civilized or less friendly people but after many visits during the last 12 years, I realised Chinanese are just like any other Chinese elsewhere and definitely not less friendlier than people in the West, especially when it comes to hospitality. I think history, culture and religion are the biggest influence on people's attitude and mindset. If people will to understand the history of China, how their people suffered during the Japanese attack and the opium incidents, they will understand why the Chinese have to be tough and careful against foreigners now. I think basically all people in the world are the same until religion and politics divided them.
Just read that the Chinese ambassador to Israel is found dead. Few days ago, a Chinese researcher on coronavirus living in the U.S. was killed. Have been reading many people died mysteriously in the U.S. in recent years. Since your identity is open, you better be more vigilant and careful 😅 Keep up with the good work, sharing knowledge and bringing people together is never wrong 🙏

@CyrusJanssen Similarly, I have 2 factories in China (for almost 20 years) and I am from Singapore. Like most countries, brainwashing/indoctrination by the western media in Singapore is a bit considerable but the real journey of truth began when one is actively in China, engaged with people from all walks of life and that was when I started to lose faith in western media. (When I was young, I used to depend not only on local newspapers, tv for news, etc, but on BBC, CNN, etc. One's view of the world could be influenced by such news outlet but the moment one found that that he/she had been misled, the trust for such media is gone).

Thanks you very much.
I am from Xinjiang,China. And I am very proud of being a Chinese. I am also very happy to contact the people of the world.
there is an old Chinese saying that "action is better than comment." It's mean If you want to change anything, although there is no option of choosing a political party, we can make ourselves a better person, and then join in.we can use actions to change life, society, education, technology, medical care, environment, various human rights,world, etc. Let them better.
I like that sentence very much. Although China can't choose a political party, But China can change its policy as quickly as possible. And the person who changes the policy is the person who "acts better than words."

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?

Just to share. I went to Shanghai in early 1986, after I took over the CFO of the Chiina operation of the largest foreign bank, might be you see that as a local bank. Then, we were situated in the alley of a godown building, cheaper rent, as our headquarter buildings had been confisticated. I stayed across the bridge in Shanghai Mansion, close to the office behind the Bund. I went to Lido Hotel with the Branch Manager to take our lunch. And the Branch Manager just scribbled the amount of the bill, on his business card with the cashier, as he claimed credit card was not acceptable there? The restaurant would send its staff member to collect the cash later from our Branch. Night time, we still had curfew, and PLA patrolled the streets in two. Things have since much, that now our Branch has moved to its new Regional Quarters in Shanghai, or perhaps better called China.

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.

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!

If you’re on the street in any of the Chinese cities, and chat up a young Chinese man or woman, chances are you’ll be impressed with their knowledge of the world, outlook of life, their upbeat spirit, and the can-do attitude.
Far from the xenophobic bias that the Chinese citizenry are deprived of the freedom of knowledge and expression; they are in actual fact, one of the most well connected lot. An estimate 915 million people in China are internet users in 2020, which represents 65.6% of the population.
The Chinese are well served by a very diverse and vibrant mainstream and social media, although they observe similar limitations and boundaries under article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR); such as, the respect of the rights or reputation of others, the protection of national security or public order against sedition, incitement and perjury; the preservation of public health or morals; and the prohibition of obscenity and pornography.

I am really looking forward to that video about the Xinjiang, it is a subject that has caused me a lot of confusion because on one side, China treats its muslim population better than any other secular country in the world, Halal food in schools and universities, mosques building permits handed out reasonably and in good delay, overall very good tolerance of the secular chinese people towards the muslims chinese etc... but on the other hand you have the MSM saying that China is trying to purge Islam from an entire province because suddenly the religion bothers them out of nowhere, I've always had my doubts especially because my country (Algeria) has given full support to China in its fight against terrorism in Xinjiang and mind you, even though Algeria is not a very famous country, it has always stood against injustices, apartheid, colonialism etc and has never failed once in denouncing it no matter the consequences (It supports Palestine, Western Sahara, South Africa when it was under apartheid etc..), this si why I trust their judgement on the subject (Eventhough I am very critical of the Algerian government for various other things of course, but not on those sujects)
I really hope that video will help clear out any remaining doubts about the situation in the xinjiang province, thank you !

For strange reason, Hong Kong Chinese have a highly inflated sense of superiority over Chinese from other Asian nations, but especially over the mainland Chinese. They would look upon the mainland Chinese as country bumpkins who are inferior to them. But unbeknown to the Hong Kongers, China started to develop at the lightning speed and a lot of mainland Chinese also went to top universities in the US and UK, and came back with advanced degrees from prestigious universities that majority of the Hong Kongers could only look upon with envy. Gradually and almost imperceptibly, Hong Kongers started to find that these country bumpkins from mainland China whom they used to look down up with disdain, are getting ahead of them in life. They are employed in highly paid and coveted professions by prestigious western firms, especially the American firms. They are preferred by luxury shops and high end restaurants over the local Hong Kongers, who increasingly find themselves stuck in low paying jobs and cramped housing. To add insult to injury, the people that are getting ahead of them are the country bumpkins from mainland China. That's definitely something they are unable to stomach. The sooner that the Hong Kongers can come to terms with reality, the better for them. Otherwise, they are destined to spend their entire life wallowing in self-pity.

The problem I have with you Cyrus. Is the idea that there is "misunderstanding", as you like to put it. When in reality what is taking place is not "misunderstanding", but a purposeful falsehoods and outright lies. For the purpose of creating hostility against China and those countries & people. The US wants to cause domestic strife within. And the rulers of the US and Western populations work fear, anger, and bigotry into their public. All based on lies manufactured by the criminal political, media, and big money & big business. There is no misunderstanding on the part of the ruling class of the US and West. It is purposefully done to seed falsehoods into their domestic publics. In this there "maybe" misunderstanding, because of the lies, conditioning and propaganda. Which starts from grade school and continues the pack of lies, that assaults the US and Western populations, into indoctrination. And you cover this core issue, but confuse the issues. By using words like misunderstanding or other such wording. And I do not respect you for that at all. I do appreciate your efforts to bring sanity to western publics, but your mire the facts and confuse the reality.

Hi Cyrus, I have been following your YouTube channel for a quite while, and I ‘m really impressed and inspired by your honesty and integrity. Your attitude towards both China and America will be greatly appreciated by the people who truly love our countries. As we all know, Western media (except RT America) are biased, and lie about China, as Donal Trump Said it all the time ‘ it’s fake news ‘, which is the only one thing I agree with him. Your voice shines light on the darkness between these two great powers in the world. Your efforts and your name along with Martin Jacques, Richard Wolff, Tom Fowdy, Rick Sanchez, Ben Swann, Kishore Mahbubani and so on will absolutely be cherished by true Christians who obey the Ten Commandments in their hearts.

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.

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

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.

Open source is great, it lets so many talented people get involve in interesting projects such as this.
Not sure if you've already covered Electric vehicles in your videos. I am a bit of a car buff. I see the rise of China's electric vehicle industry. BYD has been doing fantastic things with their batteries. They also have some pretty nice electric vehicles in their line up, there's also NIO, another impressive company, XPeng, Li Auto, Hiphi X,....
Now they are looking into Hydrogen fuel as an alternative, I saw segment on CNA, and this company called Spectronik in Singapore is, going to make Hydrogen fuel mini bus. The technology looks good.

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!

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.

Superb job Cyrus, ur explanation just so great 👍
Especially talking about Africa, it's truly answer my question for these last few weeks, I've been wondering, why so many peoples keep saying China is not good, they are like Nazi, wants to conquer the world and etc, since no one, i mean really no one has done a greater benefit in Africa than China, when everyone busy about mid east, southeast Asia and etc, they all forget Africa, the most poverty region, only China doing it and i believe that early bird will get the worm, China surely will also get their benefit back one fay from Africa, when that happen, many will wonder why and how.
Jealousy is a dangerous thing, it will only lead to hatred, but many failed to understand it in the case about China.
They care so much about China and i agree with u that China don't care about them, China only focus in their own country and civils.
Once again, great job Cyrus and thank u so much.

I really cried. As a Chinese, I like American culture and I am curious about the Western world, but I love my motherland even more. I think more people are not the so-called "公知", nor are they 五毛 or 小粉红. Everyone is just an individual with his own ideas. Just as the Chinese man who praised the most in the comments said, as Chinese, what we need is not praise and praise, just being fair and objective is enough. With the current world facing difficulties and a trend toward division, it is really exciting to see such Westerners who are willing to stand up for cultural exchanges between China and the United States, especially in the context of China and its lack and the need for public opinion influence. Really, as Cyrus said, when the United States is truly willing to cooperate with China, people all over the world will benefit. Hope to be lucky enough to see that day.

@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!

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.

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

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.

Cyrus Janssen, thank you for this video. You have laid out the case for human equality, international peace and international justice for both members of our human race, Jews and Palestinians. There is only one human race and all its members have the right to live in equality, fraternity and justice. No single human being is more worthy of another human being. All human beings are equal as human beings because they all come from the same MATTER. Cyrus, once again, on behalf of the Consciencism Study Group (CSG), a pan-Afrikanist philosophical and ideological study group that seeks the unification, liberation and development of Afrika for the purposes of human equality, peace and justice, we thank you.

Dear Cyrus, on the Taiwan issue, perhaps you are not aware that the US had been imposing those internal laws passed by the US senate , such as the Taiwan Relations Law on the way the US dealt with Taiwan .
However , these internal laws are not recognised by China as the establishment of the bilateral relationship between US n China was based on the 3 communiqué ,period.
It seems that the US government will continue to use her internal laws to handle the Taiwanese issue so as provoke China or worse still, to checkmate China.
Do you realise that The intensity to provoke China has increased in recent times.
I wonder what does the US government 's understanding of the " one China ' policy " is.
As I see it, the US government is playing with the words. Other examples are "maintaining the status quo .."
By right, the US should not institute any internal law through the US Senate which are meant to support Taiwan if the US is truly sincere in upholding the " one China policy" whereby Taiwan is just a undivided territory of China.
China has every right to upheld her territorial integrity and national sovereignty.
Taiwan being part of China throughout the centuries should be reunited with mainland China.
Any US interference in the Taiwan issue is obviously hypocritical and hegemonic.
If the US is sincere, she should openly declare that she supports the reunification of Taiwan n China.
But I doubt, the US would do that.

Thanks Cyrus for the great video showing an alternative perspective, which is updated for 2023 post COVID.
To add a bit of context, I think there are some other points. The Shanghai Free Trade Zone started in 2013. This made it a bit easier in terms of financial access. Previously, people used to use WOFEs, JVs or just based their office in Hong Kong. I believe that HAX Shenzhen (previously HAXLR8R, a hardware accelerator) has been working in China for almost a decade.
I am curious as to how they make their legal documents applicable for both Chinese and US jurisdictions. Another thing to ponder is which are the corporate banks they use to keep the funds for investing, as I assume they need to keep multiple currencies and have significant inflows and outflows. For HR issues, I am not sure as to whether they would use an agency to hire Chinese employees or hire them directly. As for collaborations, I hope they (Snow Bull) do get a chance to partner with the universities and tech parks there. I sincerely hope they have a great time in China and all the best for their business.
Btw, just a slight editing mistake at 13:46, it is WOFE, not WFOE.
My opinions are based on me having studied and worked in China (mainly Shanghai) previously, so it might be a bit outdated.

NOTE: 3 points. 1) A couple of times I’ve heard Peter say nothing is absolute as the human race has never experienced this before. But the probability is extremely high. 2) I am 69, the day I was born in China was nearly 1 billion people LESS than they are now, this is during my lifetime. So the growth happened in my lifetime. One child policy plus considering modern 1 child birth rates around the world, means 2 people create 1, the population chops into half in the same time span. 3) economy of scale, manufacturing and consumption, and pieces of the global infrastructure declining, meaning that it is going to happen, it just may take a longer - another 20 years, which is only a quarter of my lifetime. But the end result is the same. Look online, Japan is starting to have old people, ghost cities, and same is happening in Germany and it is just a fact. We will go back to 1980, and it was not such a bad era!!! it was totally, “Rock out with your ** out!”

As much as I respect the will of the people who live on a piece of land wanting independency and democracy, in this case HK, or could be TW in another, when I saw the rage, the cruel intention, the violence and destruction these people had done to their OWN city and OWN people which they claim and swear to protect and cherish, they have lost all credibility, they are indeed criminals. But honestly i was not so surprised to hear about “ nuclear weapon” talk in lai’s speech, or even the fact that it was broadcasted on tv. after all, Vivek Ramaswamy during his run for the next presidency openly said (video can be found on Youtube) instead of sending troops to TW, US should provide enough guns so that everyone in TW is armed and ready. Now, imagine any potential successor of Xi said the same about Quebec, Catalan or Scotland….

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?

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.

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.

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.”

Well said Cyrus, I agreed everything you said in the video, I am a Chinese living in UK for 10 years, the life aboard opened my horizon and make me realize how beautiful China is, I gone through from a house wife and mom only to gradually found my own career back, it has taken me few years but it is the passion I have for fitness kept me going, I am a PT now and working in one of the best gym in town and I love every moment in work, just like you said end of the day we all humans and all we want is the best for our families, children and healthy and safe life, for that reason we are going to move back to China next year, I have planned this the day when I set my feet in Europe and I know it is the time to go now, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families, you are doing something extraordinary here 🫶🏼

Thank you Cyrus. Once again you put your balanced viewpoint so clearly and gently respectfully. I was most touched by your observation / conclusion that the peoples of the world have so much morin common than they have divisions and differences. It is my contention that many Governments and those with power over us, like it that way. I am now over 70 years old, retired now. During my career as an Oil well driller. I had the pleasure and frustrations of working with crews from. China, Vietnam, USA, Canada Norway, Indonesia, Brazil, West Africa, Congo, South Africa, Sauida Arabia, Egypt, India . Philippines, Australia, New Zeland, Portugal, Azerbaijan, Somalia, Lybia, Netherlands, to namea few, not forgetting my native UK. How true it is that we all have so much in common. All my roughnecks had "Mums" just like you and me. We mostly come with "Batteries not included" Regards to all you mothers sons out there. Wishing, Hoping, and praying for peace in 23.

Very convincing , but it is not the real truth. Try again. Like bureaucratic nightmare, which kills productivity. Too much pride, dishonesty, and stupidity his killing the German Auto industry, and The Chinese EV are killing German cars in China, where they used to get half of their worldwide profits. Stupidity? Plenty, like slowing down from the start Tesla Giga factory, with unnecessary bureaucratic red tape, and lately mysteriously blowing up an electric station stopping Tesla production. On the other hand the Chinese from day one very cleverly helped Tesla start production ( Naturally to better try and steal its technology) and that is where is coming from China EV production miracle, which are killing the German auto industry in China market as a starter. Germany could have adopted China strategy, but too dumb and proud to do so. I lived in Germany for a few years, the quicker Germany thin out the army of behampters and TUV the more efficient and wealthy the country will become.

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.

This is a good presentation by Cyrus Janssen, Thank you.
I share some of my views ..
Freedom to Vote.
What about "I can vote, I can protest, BUT I cannot breathe"
How Democracy destroys America?
https://youtu.be/SELvQQYRGhw
Voting in China is done by 90 million party members, i.e. 6,5 % of 1.4 billion population.
Is it safe for you to vote for the president of a Nuclear Society? surely not, you do not have enough knowledge of nuclear science.
To understand how Democratic process work in CCP China,...
https://youtu.be/3d-TeWxaxKA
In fact, one party system is more stressful to the government, because they Must deliver to what the 1.4 billions people want, if not, there is no other political party to vote, only way is to OVERTHROW the government.
But in the US, you are are not happy, you can keep waiting for the next 4 years, and many more 4 years to wait to vote your preferred government.

Hi Cyrus, great insight, I am a now subscriber and a British Chinese, I have been in the U.K. for over 15 years now, recently I find myself increasingly wanting to return to China, I think you can say “ patriotism”, China is not perfect, far from it, so, is the west, but there are so much negativities and miss understanding about China nowadays, particularly about Xinjiang and HK. For Xinjiang in particular, I don’t deny there won’t be any muslim prisoners, but the figure of 1-2 million incarcerated is kind of hard to believe. For HK, I am looking into the HK basic law article 23, why the British were less Enthusiastic about passing the law before handover and Chinese government against its own interests not bothered to pass it for over 25 years? Maybe if you have the time in the future to shed some light on those topics please.

Class A: 100 students get 1000 apples. Class B: 1000 students get 2000 apples.
Class A accuses Class B of getting too many apples.
Simple math ppl, simple math...
Growing up in China, 90% of the buses were electronic powered since the early 1990s. But when I came to Canada, I saw the majority of the buses are powered by gas.
It’s easy to ride bicycles in China, bikes are cheap, and there’re designated bike lanes (separate from automobiles, so safer as well) all over the city.
Also, buses and subways are a lot more easily accessible (more lines, more stops, and more frequent), compare to what I see in Canada.
Yes, no doubt China at the country level is the biggest polluter, it is an inevitable stage for developing countries, but China is also well aware of that and actively working on it.
Side note: about electrical cars, I’m a bit on the fence, wonder how the batteries are made and if that’s really that better than gas. Water/hydro powered car is not impossible (research if you’re interested), the issue is that “it’s not certain technologies can’t be invented, but there’re people who doesn’t what them to be invented.

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.

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.

I’m 30years old, I was born in northwestern region in China, our neighbors have been planting trees when I was 7, and we continue planning trees in the dessert every year, we turned desert to forest, when it comes to develop a country, every country has prices to pay, London paid its prices for haze in many years ago, we paid our prices and we learned from it, and we rebuild our country, make it a better place.

Cyrus this is the common story and it's true. My wife came to the US in 97. Now we have a 2.3M home, she makes 150K and we are doing well like most of her generation that came to NYC. However, all her friends in China have multiple homes, German cars, travel the world, and they all have tens of millions of dollars in assets. I'm the American, a physician with 5 degrees, but I feel like the peasant when I go to their class reunion. They still give me lot's of respect, but I don't deserve it, especially after what we've done to them historically and currently. I like your channel, thanks for your honest sharing of the China experience.

Saw Kyle Bass on YouTube a month ago on Blockworks Macro channel, in which he said he believes China’s government designed the virus to cause more deaths among non-Asians than among Asians, so it wasn’t a fluke he said similar BS on CNBC. People like him, Steve Bannon (who has appeared with Bass in interviews), and Gordon Chang spread Sinophobic hysteria. The fear that results turns into hate, and inevitably leads to hate crimes and perhaps, someday, war. Just today, Chang tweeted that Chinese owning US agricultural land allows CCP to spread crop diseases, and that U.S. is opening door to sabotage. How crazy is that!? Btw, Happy Lunar New Year to all of you reading this far into my comment!

A really great video, but the whole time I kept asking myself, what is it like to live in an unfree country? I mean no disrespect, but it's very difficult, let's say impossible, for westerners like myself to try and imagine what it's like to live in a non-democratic society. The scenes in the background look gorgeous, the parks look beautifully manicured and well maintained, people seem genuinely kind and open, but I can't escape the nagging question in the back of my mind, is this really what it's like to live in an "unfree" society? Is life really so pleasant, so comfy, so happy in non-democratic societies? Is everything I've been taught about the superiority of living in a democracy a lie??

It is true , i am chinese person born/raised in the usa , i used to be ashamed of my poor village in china that was in 2010 , it is 2021 now and my poor village in china is one of the most advanced and developed place now , this is all because of the racism i faced in the usa and how the western media demonized my country , it is literally wonderful back there when i visted.Also the claims on human rights , 1.china has numerous amounts of mosques , churches and ughyur restruants , they also have english in their schools and are very open , the places that have high securities are usually the borders as well , 99% of the cities are so well developed too

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.

As a Han Chinese myself, i truly appreciate this video which presents a better truth than those presented by most foreign media. And most pp are not aware that all ethnic groups in CHina enjoy many more privileges than Han pp, eg., if u are from an ethnic group other than Han, u get extra credits in yr entrance exams to middle school and even to college, which my friends an i used to feel soooo jealous about, since a few credits are so important and can change a person's life back in my days! And the requirement to enter a college for them is much lower than for a Han student. In addition, if u are not a Han person, u're not limited by the "one child policy" at all, which was applied for the past 3 decades for Han Chinese! In Beijing, we are afraid of those pp from Xin Jiang , not the other way around! why? cuz a lot of them steal, or rob pp on street and they're used to carry knives ...there used to be several areas where they gather and gang up on normal pp on street from 1990s- 2007. Anyway, i'm tired of hearing all those "oppression talks" from the Internet......and i wanna say THANK U to Cyrus, i believe what he's done and presented is more convincing to westerners than us directly tell the story to the world

If China and its people are so amazing and great, why can’t they stop eating Wildlife including endangered species? Yes not all of them do, but to have a legal (pre covid-19) market selling Tigers, Peacocks, Civet Cats, Porcupines, Pangolins, Koalas!!! Even Dogs, Cats!! Wtfff!!? As the great Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated.” And before someone comes at me with, other countries eat some of these animals too, yes I am aware, but none of these Countries are claiming that they are the best Country and Nation in the world and should be praised and looked up too.

As everybody knew that USA had been using G-Mail, FB, Whatapps, Twitters...etc to stole, cheating all world populations long ago INCLUDING AMAERICANS...even Germany PM MS was attacked...it was well known facts. Pompeo visits to Europe was so funny and got negative results as nowadays is not the past.

Wrong button, sorry, continue here:
People are happy when you give them something to get out of poverty, even the Roman's knew that, Bread and Games, France after the French Revolution, Germany after WW1, and many more.
However, they all ended up in Dictatorship, war and misery when the Government turns to become a controlling, onesided system. Cesar, Napoleon, Hitler, and if you check the parallels, now Xi Jinping.
Note, this is my personal opinion!

Being of Latin American descent, politicians like Rubio and Cruz exemplify the issues of South America – corrupt, cunning, apathetic, lack common sense, and ruthless – which are the very reasons why the US did not move all of its manufacturing jobs to despite its close proximity. Instead of focusing on developing economic and political ties between South and North America, they stick their noses, especially Rubio, into countries they know very little about, an example of lacking common sense. If you understand how South America was developed, you would know why it hasn’t developed much since the Spaniards took over.

Thank u so much, as a citizen of shanghai, it's the most objective opinion I've seen in youtube or any other social media, maybe some Chinese people have realize that lock down policy it's not a regular tool and mental healthy is important as much as physic. But unfortunate, most chinese citizens are feared to speak louder because the strict control and politics investigation( I've not been experienced but we don't know yet). Sadly I had chance to study abroad but I choose to stay in my country and building our homeland. For myself, I was influenced strickly by the west culture, and I don't seek to "Safety" not like the most chinese people( not means they are wrong, and the Safety has different meaning in different culture, mainstream culture here are differrent from west and hard to express), that made me more angry and disappointed when I saw such politic system's defects which I have no idea at all. Maybe I'll leave my parents go abroad in the future, I don't like to experience this lockdown agian.

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!

Cyrus, immediately after watching your video yesterday, I went to the back yard with a purpose other than to mow it! If I "draft" the men in the church to help maybe I can have myself a putting green.
Cy, I first played in 1968 at 7 years old and have played until the surgery. My wife told me the surgery was about 9 years ago not 15. But truley, the day before Thanksgiving 2011, I shot 71 on a local course (Crown Colony Lufkin, Texas- from the black tees. Course was rated top 10 best courses in Texas then.) THE NEXT DAY, I was helping a church member move and I blew disks out (L-5,L-6,) can't follow thru like I could. I had been practicing 40 to 75 yard wedges, 1000 to 1200 a week in my front yard and it had really helped. I must again play golf somehow, even if it is just putting and chipping. This home green setup is the very thing that will get me back in the game. Even my wife is for it because it will keep me from building and flying experimental aircraft! ( I am sure anything is preferable to her). I will make a point to send you pictures when I start this project. Thanks again and God bless

Cyrus, are you saying that this cost you about $3000 ( in other post you stated that 1000 sq ft. will cost about $10,000 or about $10 sq ft so 10 x 30 = 300 sq ft at $10 per sq ft = $3,000)? And is that in U.S. or Canada money? ( $10,000 in US is right at 14,000 in Canada and 10,000 is $7,150 in U.S.) Just So you know, I have wanted to put in a putting green since I had back surgery more than 15 years ago. Played my whole life until I hurt my back The day after my best round ever. The two reasons I have not are "real golf green feel" was lacking and cost. If the cost is about $10 a sq ft U.S., that no longer is a problem...but when you play your home course, does your practice on the artificial green help you, that is, does the feel of your home green have the same feel as the greens of your local club course? And if it does not (i.e. in the past the artificial grass was too slow) can you add sand and pack it and change the feel and speed of the artificial to match the "real"? thank you for posting your build. I believe that it is not an exaggeration to say this could change my life.

Awesome report... it's good to see knowledge and awareness of Thorium Liquid Salt Reactors... The West as usual is clinging to the unsafe, dangerous, super expensive, super inefficient, massive wast producing uranium reactors, simply because it makes a small handful of filthy rich people, who control the industry, even more filthy... This is nothing new... William Randolph Hearst funded the illegalization of Hemp to protect his pulp & paper interests... the result? hundreds of billions trees were cut down over the last century, all to satisfy the greedy self interest of one billionaire... This is what a small group of shareholders in the West are doing with dangerous, expensive, hyper inefficient, massive waste producing, uranium

I fully share your view, as I have been involved in the last 40 years in promoting Sino-US relationship in the areas military and business. When China opened doors to the world, it opened doors mostly to American industries. Americans visiting won’t starve in China as they can find easily McDonald’s and KFC restraints in every city in China. Boeing, GE, Honeywell, Caterpillar, etc, most of big names of American companies, have enjoyed pretty big market shares in China. China embraces American culture bravely, Disney and Universal Studios are good examples. I can not believe some American politicians’ allegation that China robbed American jobs. It is American companies’ strategies to divert low-end products, labor intensive or even environmental unfriendly production to China, now instead of bringing these jobs back to America, they gave the job to Vietnam, India,etc. China is not challenging USA, but rather USA want to find a new enemy, and very unfortunately, China has been picked up. I can say a day about the sources of the determination of Sino US relationship, but I need to stop here.

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.

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.

I absolutely agree, the problem lies in the culture, namely the freedom to use guns and kill people, to invade other countries not going your way, etc. It's deeply rooted in the culture.. Start changing the mindset, make it a habit, and hopefully it will change the dark side of the culture.
The American freedom is doomed to create chaos, domestically, and the US elites/govt is exporting it to other countries. You can't please everyone. The only good thing about democracy in other countries is that it'll only benefit the US' elites as it'll be much easier for them to orchestrate a coup and topple the government. That way, they won't have to look for phony excuses for invasion, like the one in Iraq. Look at the Ukraine 2014 coup, and remember what Victoria Nuland said; "F the EU", and that EU can become any country. And also, remember what Henrry Kissinger said "to be America's friend is fatal".

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.

I like an honest American, when it comes to daring to tell the truth about the real world. Cyrus is a true lover of world peace, unity, and a visionary, daring to educate the world, and in particular Americans who have been blinded to the world's reality by American propaganda, which is doing a disservice to our nation, and the world community. I wish the American government would take advice, and the lead from one such true and heroic American, and stop drinking from the goblet of lies we've been drinking from for decades as supplied by the US main stream media and the politicians and the military industrial complex of which departing president Dwight Eisenhower so patriotically warned us all. US propaganda has never fooled the rest of the world outside its own borders, but its own people, the Americans ourselves. This has foiled our ability to embrace the new world order dawning upon us. So, instead of being a strong part of it, we are being made the pariah of it all. This is what I term the cost of the arrogance of the American Empire; our downfall....

Boeing sold over 2,000 airplanes to China, at @ $200 million a pop? 1/3 of Boeing's production goes to China, and Trump got you to worry about the $2 socks in Walmart? Not to mention Coca-Cola, Johnson&Johnson, Proctor and Gamble, Catapillar, Ford, they are all doing a booming business in China.
Hollywood -- 25% of their profits come from China. (soon to be curbed) Oh I've forgotten to mention Disney, Yes Disney has TWO theme parks in China ! There are 40 Disney stores in China.

Cyrus, I really think you have done a great job! As you have said, your aim is to integrate/bridge east and west, to create opportunities for mutual understanding and cooperation rather than inciting hatred and division. I read some of the comments below, and understand your followers are much more educated. It is always good to provide people with opportunities to form well-balanced views. Compared to the followers of Nathan's, they might need to mind the narrow-mindedness, racism, hatred, division and nationalism elicited in his followers' comments. I mean everybody appreciates positivity and truth, but educating people out of xenophobia, racism, bigotry, egoism is equally important.

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.

@9:09, you cannot be more wrong. Doing business in China is easy— very little bureaucratic red tape, low taxes, and an ample skilled labor force. It’s almost like HK. Why else thousands of international business have set up shops in China? John Deere, Catapillar, IBM, VW, MB, BMW, Honda, Ford, GM, Airbus, Boeing, Pilatus, etc. To wit: Tesla finish building the Shanghai Gigafactory in one year; began producing Model 3 prototype almost the following month; began mass production of Model 3 about 5 months afterward rolling them out en mass to the Shanghai shipping terminal. In contrast, the Nevada Gigafactory required more than two years to complete due to labor disputes, and nearly another 10 month to produce prototypes, and then several months later began mass production of ...batteries. The key to having a successful business in China is no different than anywhere else: don’t insult your host country; don’t bite the hand that feeds you; don’t smear your shit on your host’s home. Canadian YouTuber Gweilo60 has a better analysis of this latest China-bashing by USA. He makes no excuse; he comes out swinging.

👍👍👍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 . 🙏

@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).

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.

@CyrusJanssen I also think this is the biggest looming danger. If a war starts between China and the US, it will be because of Taiwan. I'm against the reunification of Taiwan by force, but it's a very difficult tightrope to walk for all parties.
If Taiwan formally declares independence as a gambit, it would seem China would be forced to react, as they promised they would for decades now. If the US continues to grow closer with Taiwan and starts military buildup there, that might also escalate into a conflict. Finally, China could potentially try to retake Taiwan without either of the above happening - nationalistic sentiments are rising, and I've yet to meet a single Chinese person who doesn't think Taiwan is a part of China.
For the current status quo to continue, which seems like the best option we have, it requires that 3 parties all agree to not rock the boat. If the forces that be in the US decide to go to war, they could probably manufacture a situation with plenty of casus belli.
I can only hope cooler heads prevail. Maybe the Chinese can just accept the loss here and slowly scale back their claims of Taiwan over the coming years, but national sovereignty is such a touchy subject for them, so it may not be that realistic.

Originally Irish, but now dual citizen and long time Turkish resident, sitting on the Mediterranean coast enjoying the nice beaches of Antalya! Very interesting video. I do think it's a better idea for the country to join BRICS, or will it be BRICST now?😊. The EU is like a boat full of holes and leaking badly. A group of growing economic powers will be a good option. It's a difficult situation for NATO in Europe because apart from Türkiye, other members in Europe are paper tigers. If it comes to a boots on the ground situation, Türkiye will not send troops. I've noticed a very rare skill of the Turks to be able to sit on the fence and let others make the mistakes. I'm not sure if Türkiye will stay in NATO much longer. They're looking East for sure and it's not just them. Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, not enamored with the Socialist Marxist leanings of the EU (something they escaped from), they may turn back to a more capitalist Russia where traditional family values still exist as they don't like this woke craziness and unfettered illegal immigration destroying their cultures and endangering their citizens.

Cyrus, you talk about the political divide and then you say Donald Trump Presidency was the worse thing that happened? Aren't you just fueling the debate and alienating people? From my perspective the hate that came from Democrats after he won was the worse thing that happened. The false accusations that Hillary Clinton pedalled about Russian collusion, the support for BLM and Antifa while creating hundreds of millions of dollars in damage, the support for unscientific gender theories, the support for diversity, inclusion and equity principles that are in reality a sham, defunding Police, support for critical race theory, white privilege and white supremacy theories etc. All of these things divide us and create false notions of life as male or female, as victims, killing meritocracy and creating dependance on the State. The 2014 coup in Ukraine was under Joe Bidens stewardship while his son was a board member of Burisma! The resulting war is directly linked to US interference and manipulation. Trump was the worse thing?

Cyrus Janssen, you are an amazing USA Citizen trying to rip off the blinders placed on USA Citizens to see the truth about China. You are highly admired (and I'm a White Aussie Male). It's a pity we can not get people to go and visit China, first hand. Only when I did, did I realise how much we've been lied to by our Western Media. China is an amazing, futuristic, innovative, friendly Country. What President Xi is doing for the world with his BRI global trade initiative is BRILLIANT, bringing countries that are poverty stricken, into the economic market, fending for themselves. China has the most admiration for what it is doing for the World. It's a pity that only a small percentage of Corporate USA Citizens (not the majority of USA Citizens) who are sledge hammering all the good China is doing, just to protect their personal monopoly and greed.
I admire China for what they're doing of all Humanity. It disappoints me what a minority group os Corporate USA are doing to stop this. A Coopers to you mate. People HAVE TO visit China.

@CyrusJanssen ya, 任 in reality is more apt in this respect, I misconstrue as 认(to give way; give ground; yield; give up ....)as is worded in the srt, I assume it fits the context,
actually 任 is more appropriate, its implication is(responsibility, to let, to allow, to give free rein, no matter( how, what...)....
haha, one day I shall converse with you in Mandarin, as the idiom goes, " learning is an endless process."/ 学无止境........, let us encourage each other in our endeavours!
all the best!

@CyrusJanssen Thank you very much for your opinion. You have opened up a lot of eyes about China. We are proud to support you. Since you mentioned about Hong Kong, may I say a few words about it.
Hong Kong in the 1960s may be industrialized, but it had LOTS of problems. Corruption was rampant, poverty was widespread, the city struggled to contain the flow of immigrants from mainland. Citywide riots broke out in 1966.
Starting in 1970, the British government conducted monumental reforms during this period. Massive public housing to alleviate poverty, compulsory 9 year education, eliminating corruption, massive trade agreements with the west, development of the financial systems, defending people's rights to free speech and protests.
Hong Kong people genuinely loved the British government, not because of a "colonial mindset" but because the British provided exactly what we wanted. This is akin to why the Chinese support the CCP, not because they like the communist ideal, but because they can see the works that were done to help the 1.4 billion people.
It is upsetting that mainland Chinese netizens mocked us when we mourned the death of the Queen. Hong Kong is undoubtedly losing the luster. Hundreds of thousands of HongKongers have permanent left already in the last few years.

Hi Cyrus, I am one of your longtime fan and I appreciate your effort to construct the mutual understanding between China and the US. Now I have a small suggestion: I watched 2 days ago a video that talked about Chinese EV that are going to "invade" the US market, just like the Japanese cars "invaded" the US market in the 1970s, it is presented by a expert of car industry and is very well said, what amazed me the most is the comments left behind, the great majority of common Americans are not hostile towards China as many assumed. Since car is a commodity that nearly every single American household has, the altitude of the Americans towards it can reflect many things, and can give impartial view on many things from it. Hence, may I suggest you to look at it and, if possible, to contact the expert and discuss how the Americans can cooperate with the Chinese (he has a deep cooperation with Chinese EV industry already, so I think he can provide meaningful insight on it)? The expert is called Sandy Munro, but this time he is a guest in another channel to talk about the subject with the title: "China is Coming: Observations from an Expert | In Depth". Wishfully that you can do this, with many thanks!

Totally agree with you! Janssen! Great point of view! 👍 I'm from Taiwan where about three fifth of Taiwanese female voters don't care which party is in office and they are completely indifferent to politic. All they care are fashion, personal appearance, gourmet food, family harmony , love affair, luxurious life style, peer relationship,and entertainment gossip news. Thus, does democracy matter to them? Obviously they seems not care about it. However, do they have freedom? Apparently according to what their standards, they do have their own freedom. As you said, individualism and collectivism stem from differ culture. What suitable to the western society doesn't necessary suitable to every oriental society. Therefore, drawing on the strong points to offset the weaknesses between these two cultures to create synergy is the most beneficial to the whole world.

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! 😂)

@CyrusJanssen I am a Chinese Canadian who was born and raised in China, lived in Vancouver and Toronto for many years, spent some time studying in Europe, visited US for several times. So I should say I have a pretty comprehensive view towards China and the western world. Cyrus, I share your perspectives on pretty much every aspect. Granted, China still has room to improve in many areas, but it's already a lot better then 20 or 30 years ago. Especially in the areas of infrastructures, hi-tech, sustainable environment particularly in the southern part, medical care, government efficiency and more civilized behavior for the ordinary people.
Same as you, I also hope China and the West can cooperate so that the whole world can benefit.

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.

Hiya again, Cyrus. Great clip, as usual. We over here in my country are thinking about this matter as well but we have issues on our own, Covid being most in the forefront. We're still in the stage of using e-wallets and debit cards (yes, we're also using our phones to pay for stuff as well) but we're far from having it universally used throughout the country. But I AM very happy to always head out to night markets with just my handphone (cell or mobile phone) and just check-in with my government Covid tracing app and then pay using my e-wallet or bank account via my phone.
What we'd like to see is our own e-currency, and down the road, an e-currency foreign exchange so that we're able to use our own e-currency in foreign countries. We DON'T WANT use Digital RMB but we DO want to see our own e-currency being implemented. And we know that China will support this, especially since my country is in fact doing straight forex conversions instead of using a third currency as an anchor; so long as the platform supports it.
So yes, as mentioned in the clip, while Digital RMB may not be globally accepted, China HAS sparked the innovation-excitement in regards to this innovation. We're happy to jump on board, but we certainly won't use Digital RMB, hence the interest in our own platform and e-currency.

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.

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.

I'm Brazilian living in Alberta, Canada and I spent many years of my life living in Asia.
I love Asia and Western culture has no clue how people there are great, happy, smart and friendly.
I'm still helping people from Thailand here as a translator and interpreter.
The only few words I can say in Mandarin or Cantonese are well pronounced, under my Chinese and Singaporean fellows observations.
Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore, where live many Chinese out of China are beautiful places. What western people can't understand is how people can be happy without a big house, big boat, big tv...? I loved my lay back life in Thailand and I have plans to go back there someday but in the meantime, I'll continue support people from there to improve their lives here, in Canada.

Thank you for speaking the Truth Cyrus. I was never a political person but with the increase tension between US and China nowadays. I had to figure out why and what I discovered is western put out way more propaganda than people think. I was borned in China but immigrate to the states in the early 90s. China during that time was growing but still very very poor. I came to US and saw big skyscrapers, technologies, proper running water and a bathroom (yes we were really poor). I was so proud of being an American, i loved everything here and slowly started to hate everything about China with the western news I hear and mindset. In mid 2000s, my parents forced me to go visit China, i had zero expectations and had the mentality of "I"m American now so I'm better than you" Boy was I wrong, in short 10 years, China completely changed and everything people say about China in the west is just not true. I fell back in love with the country, the culture and its people. I went back to US and everytime I say something good about China even if its the dead truth, people think I'm communist and brainwashed. I lived in US for 27 years and just visited China for 4 weeks and it changed my perspective. Fast forward to 2020, the amount of fake news from the Western Media is more and more present that people believe anything China is bad.

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.

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.

Hi Cyrus, I am a Chinese graduate student in the United States. I've been following your channel for some time and truly appreciate your amazing videos. Frankly speaking, Chinese media tend to lie and exaggerate about western politics too - no doubt about that and I truly think we should do better on this. But for western media who tout press freedom and independence, I have much higher expectation for them but they too often fail report China news in a neutral and objective way. Whatever China does, there is always going to be way to blame them. And if it is something positive, if ever reported at all, they think it is CCP propaganda and we're all brainwashed. It is very sad and frustrating that people nowadays are so reluctant to believe something they don't want to believe and conveniently call it propaganda. For example, WSJ recently had some articles about China's economy growth and people say the article is sponsored and approved by the CCP - it's just pathetic and I bet they know nothing about China maybe except what Trump and Pompeo say about it. Western countries should know that even without true press freedom, people in China are getting smarter everyday and really travelling the world to make their own judgments, and we don't simply and blindly accept whatever information that comes from state media, unlike westerners think.

Thanks, always good to see your videos Cyrus. I'm an Australian, and when it comes to "Human Rights" in a country, the west always refers almost only to "Free Speech", totally ignoring other essential rights like health care, education, economic safety net, and so on. America, with the lack of the fore-mentioned rights, should be the last to attack China on human rights issues! With your great understanding of the two countries, it would be wonderful if you can do a video comparing the 2 countries on "Human Rights".

Cyrus, thanks for your always do those wonderful things between China and USA , but I have to correct the fact: it’s not about culture differences, it’s about the difference of political systems , the community systems (居委会小区管理)were created by chair Mao after 1949, if you know Taiwan well , where is completely different in Taiwan , 那里没有小区的概念。 also I will never agree with the USA have a little more freedom than China, in contrast, At least 80% Chinese international students think USA have more rules, sensitive topics , punishment than China after they lived in USA more than 4 years. We don’t have to argue about that, times will tell the truth. Again, thanks for your work ! Really Appreciate you have been done !

When you talk about using VPN to aviod the firewall restriction, it feels like a personal talk to me. I am one of those millions, LoL.
You know what worries me the most regarding the bilateral tention right now? It's the difference of the dominant vioces between Chinese popular video community and the US's. Like on the YouTube, if you'd like to reserch, you can find analysis produced by Nobel winning economists, or former White house advisors, or people have a clear mind like you; but on my side, people who had the real living experience in the US, or received advanced education, or participated in government affairs, did not raise enough attention. They shut. However, It's not related to any content censorship, we chinese are simplely contained. Maybe some of them think educating fools is a waste of life, maybe those rational thoughts are just too little compared with the blindly patriotism. I don't know, but I know for both countries, it's very dangerous. Nationalist emotions gonna hurt friendship and trust, and deal bad effects on diplomatic politics. I really hope American young people watch your video and think deeply about this, and I really wish we have more voices like you on our video websites, to help my folks to understand Americans.
