As a Chinese, I have never been more proud of my country. The Chinese leadership together with my fellow compatriots deserve all the credit due for the amazing achievements and transformations taken place over the past 40 years, in fact the past 200 years since the Western colonialists aggression, China has fought hard, worked hard for everything they have today. And I have no doubt we will continue our efforts to make China an even better place.

Even though younger generations in China are very confident and optimistic about China, I think they should still have an experience in the West, might it be studying or just visiting. Seeing the West from a Chinese perspective is beneficial because it allows you to see advantages and shortcomings of both places, this is what happened to myself, I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to study and live in the West, it made me appreciate China a lot more especially thanks to all the lies and demonization from the Western media/governments, a great patriotic education.

There is still this sentiment from some within China that perhaps China should continue Deng's ''Hide your strength, bide your time (or keep a low profile)” diplomatic policy. Problem is that China can no longer hide its industrial capabilities and its strength in tech advancements, and since the US is determined to undermine China's economic progress, China might as well showcase what it is really capable of now and into the future. America should focus on improving its competitiveness instead of trying to politicize everything China related (banning TikTok, semiconductors bans), because in doing so, it undermines its neoliberal capitalistic values such as free market, free trade, respecting private property rights and so on, as we can see, when it comes to China, all these can be thrown out of the window, and meanwhile, China is open for cooperation and fair competition.

This is why whenever I hear Americans/Westerners say they love the Chinese people but not the Chinese government, I laugh. This neocon talking point falls flat in reality, because if they truly cared about/supported the Chinese people, they would also support the Chinese government which most Chinese people approve of and trust. The approval and trust came from real term benefits and improvements that's been taking place in their daily lives, that their opinions and concerns are listened to and addressed.
355
The US/West makes countries lose trust for them through its own actions. ''Do as I say not as I do'', the US lectures other countries on the importance of sovereignty and democracy when itself routinely violates the sovereignty and democracy of other countries. It claims to care about the democracy of Taiwan while disregards the fact that most in Taiwan do not support separatism; it claims to care about the welfare of the people there while tries its best to push them towards conflict, war and destruction. Yes, being a ''friend'' of America is fatal, I hope the people of Taiwan realise this before it is too late.

The Western economical and political models are failing, that is where the fundamental problems of the US/West lie. China's government does not change but its policies are constantly improving adapting to changes, whereas US/Western governments change (every 4, 5 years) but its policies (domestic and foreign) hardly ever change. The US/West has clearly failed to look after its own population instead spending too much money on foreign interventions and wars, hoping to convert other nations to be like them, but ask this question, why would the others want to adopt systems and policies that have proven NOT to be working well (for the people).
189
China doesn't have a problem with constructive criticisms from Western countries, but before the West points fingers at China, look into itself to see if it is in a high moral position to do so. China doesn't appreciate hypocrisy.
188
I have been saying this for a long time, it comes to a point in the lives of overseas Chinese/Chinese Americans or just anyone with Chinese heritage who is living in the West, when they are in fear of their basic safety, when they are disrespected and discriminated in their schools and workplaces on a daily basis because of this Red Scare witch hunt that's been happening in America/West, they will seriously be thinking about moving back to China where they at least feel safe. But there is nothing surprising about the level of Sinophobia in America, it happened before and is happening again.

Enjoyed the first part of this discussion very much, look forward to Shaun's valuable input, thank you so much both for spreading the truths about China.

If France is smart, it should jump off the sinking Anglo American ship and join the new multipolar prosperity. After all, France experienced plenty enough back-stabbings from its so called Anglo American allies. And just reflect how Macron was received in China in contrast to how Blinken was... China is kinda clever I have to say to have perhaps planted a seed of division between France and the Anglos, it really would be in France's better interests.
109
It just goes to show how detached the US/Western governments are with the reality on the ground, that decoupling with China is just a wishful thinking. China remains a very attractive place for foreign investments hence more have come. What the US/West should be focusing on is to improve its own competitiveness instead trying to cripple China in the short term, it will only make China become less reliant on Western tech, which will hurt the Western economy even more.

Nice report Cyrus, it is a lovely sight to see happy Western business people pursue their ''Chinese dreams'' and how much prosperity and positivity win-win cooperation could bring to both China and the West.
56
True
47
 user-ol3ru2kf1c Gordon Chang told you that? China's growth rate is still way greater than all major world economies.
45
Great BGM Cyrus, it made me emotional actually especially watching along those black and white footages of China. I sincerely thank you for your effort to promote China US relations and for world peace!
39
There are speculations suggesting that the Kirin 9000s is made by Huawei's own facility, it is likely this could be the case as SMIC has also been under US sanctions... I guess we will soon find out what Huawei's own facility is capable of, and what would be worse for the US/West, is if Huawei's own advanced chips will be way cheaper to produce and buy...
37
It is quite sad and shocking to hear your 76 year old mother needed a gun in order to feel safe, as a Chinese I found the idea of having to possess a gun to feel safe utterly incomprehensible and frankly insane, it is quite clear that there is something very wrong in the American society today that really needed to be addressed and changed, I was just talking to my husband who is an European about the fact that I, a Chinese, was never brought up to hate the West or America, even though my grandfather fought in the Korean war against the West and I of course am very proud of what they did for us so we Chinese could live in a peaceful and prosperous China today, but despite that, Chinese people have always had healthy admiration and respect to the West and the US, however more and more, Americans are brought up to hate China and/or Chinese people, thanks to their politicians and media, and more and more Chinese are developing dislike or hate towards America as well, this has to stop! This does no good to anyone and produce no benefits to any country, I really wish China and the US could just work together it will be a win win for both countries and win for the whole world too.
36
But problem is both Taiwan's parties are agents of the US/Western powers, all have to seek approval from their masters before they take a stance towards negotiations with the Mainland. Taiwan is basically a Western colony with no sovereignty and political autonomy.

@Shenzhou. Just wanted to say I am always impressed with your impeccable English ; ) and you are doing a great job educating them.
28
@Shenzhou. Very well said 神州, as always!

@Shenzhou. 👍✌🤘

@Shenzhou. Being hypocritical and applying double standards is the norm for the USA.

Yet, Some Americans call Milley a traitor, I mean if someone in his position did what he thought he ought to do to avoid war and deaths and destruction, I would not hesitate to call him a hero, his action greatly restored my faith in humanity, reason will prevail in the end... hopefully.
22
The lying Western MSM is so afraid of these ''pro China'' YouTubers, they go out of their way to discredit them, using their usual dirty tactics, after all anti China is politically correct in the West, any voice of reason and truth about China has to be supressed, so much for the ''freedom of speech''! Daniel Dumbrill once said in his video there are things he could discuss openly in China he could never dream of being able to do the same in the US, that says a lot about this so called ''freedom of speech'' in the US.
18
The most basic human right is the right to life, right to (nutritious) food, (warm) shelter, basic clothing, to be free from abject poverty, then you can talk about ''democracy'' (preferably not the US style democracy), equality and your Western so called human rights. You clearly speak from a point of view of a developed nation where most of your people have not been facing these problems (mentioned above). Also, did you know (the New) China had been heavily sanctioned by the US/West for many years and prior to that China suffered a century of Western aggression/colonization. And this was largely the reason why China has been poor, the same reason many other developing nations are poor.
16
@daomingjin Lol, you think the entire Chinese economy is built on foreign investments? Your knowledge of China is outdated by at least 30 years
15
@daomingjin Oh wait, Gordon Chang must have told you that after he has been proven wrong for 20 years
13
Well said, completely agree.
13
@relaxwhc Exactly, if the Tibetans and Uyghurs are saying praising words of the Chinese government, then they would get accused of being brainwashed or speak what they are told to speak, this is the problem with people like this, you can't win.
12
@jerryhayes4722 Which news organizations are ''independent'', the Western MSM are certainly not independent nor free when it comes to China. And what made you think someone like Shaun or other Western people who have been to Xinjiang have not talked to people freely and were censored by the Chinese government? If you are already looking at the topic with bias and pre determined ideas, you will always question a perspective that is not mirroring your views, even if it is the truth.

@joesalazar770 Hold on a second, the US didn't "give" (out of charitable heart) China so much in return for cheap labour, it INVESTED in China for its own material and monetary gains (taking advantage of the competitive and quality Chinese labour). And China's, specifically Deng's reform and opening up economic policy allowed this to happen at a time when the US seeked China's help in defeating Russia in the cold war. I just hate when you people claim this "America built China" nonsense, this idea is racist as far as I am concerned. And it was your corrupt corporations controlled politicians deindustrialised America, not the other way round, and that is what was and still is wrong with your country, don't blame China for it. Again, I stress, it was China's own economic policy put China where it is, not the US.

@billyehh The ''population crisis'' you are repeating is an anti China talking point. ''Although China's population growth rate has entered negative territory, its current population has reached its peak between 1.41 billion and 1.42 billion. As a matter of fact, the population will still be more than 1.4 billion in 2035 and over 1.3 billion in 2050. Furthermore, although the working-age population is declining, the supply of labor is still abundant. For instance, China's working-age population aged 16 to 59 was 880 million in 2020 and could be 820 million in 2035. And even if its working-age population declines to 650 million in 2050, it will still be more than the combined working-age population of developed countries. The number of people aged 60 or above will peak in 2054 to reach 520 million. However, the proportion of the people aged 60 to 69, who are in the early stage of aging, in the total elderly population will decline from 55.8 percent in 2020 to 40.9 percent in 2050.'' ''Experts' take on China’s aging population'' by Yuan Xin, professor of demography at the Nankai University in Tianjin (Article from China Daily, 2023-05-24)

@billyehh What does that mean? It means China is transitioning from relying on Western export markets (partly because the US/West is in recession) to internal market consumption and increased trade with non Western countries, plus infrastructure projects with the Global South.
9
@C1K450 I guess you assume these problems (as you mentioned) are caused by their governments entirely (such as corruption). I would not generalise like that as you did. I blame the long period of Western exploitations/lack of real investments and possibly lack of education/modernization in some of these countries. No I don't have the answer, but I think most leaders of these countries are a lot wiser and a lot less corrupt than you think. Btw, China is not just helping Africa with essential infrastructures, which on the long run benefit their economic developments, China is bringing its expertise as well to help with a more sustainable development. And btw a lot of the instabilities and conflicts there have been stirred up by the West.

@1239Elc My comment is entirely based on my own experience/observation and public knowledgeable facts as a Chinese person (who have lived/been living in both China and the West more than 20 years each). I asked an open question too. I have neither projected ''a certain reality'' (as you say) nor said any of the things you've suggested/implicated in your first reply. You are the one who ''depicted a certain reality'', not me, who is the one lacks nuance here? Maybe you need to stop interpreting things out of what I have NEVER said?

@bigboss337 Lol, what happened between 1950 -1980? Under the leadership of Mao, the Chinese successfully fought off multiple wars/aggressions from US/Western imperialists which provided much needed peace and stability for future economic development; Chinese scientists worked tirelessly to develop China's early nuclear deterrents; great efforts were made to rebuild (re-industrialise) the country from the destructions of WW2/Japanese invasions/civil wars and to bring people (from the countryside) out of poverty caused by capitalists/Western imperialists exploitations (thanks to Mao's land reforms); women were liberated and encouraged to join the workforce and politics under Mao's progressive policy. There are so many more great achievements that can be talked about between 1950 - 1980, I am proud of the fact that my grandparents and my parents contributed a great deal during that period of time. It goes without saying what had been achieved prior to 1980 holds equal importance if not far more in the success of China today.

@cantripleplays The elite controlled US government has never acted in the best interests of its people, nor has it for its so called allies. The Chinese government however, cares about the welfare of its people and people all over the world who struggle against US/Western imperialism, that includes the American people.
8
@agathalorenzo4224 Yep completely, great point!
8
@brianliew5901 Yes we actually agree on these points you made. Many Chinese factories are already fully automated (one of the points professor Yuan Xin has made in his article, which I didn't include here). Plus younger generation would not want to work in manufacturing anymore. And yes, I also agree that a smaller population would not be a bad thing, as more resources could be shared per capita.

LOL, good one!

@1239Elc No, thanks a lot for your comment, which contributed zero value to the discussion
6
@billyehh ''The infrastructure projects are drying up...'' This is not true. Multiple major projects are on going and more are getting signed up in the Global South. Part of the EU plus UK is in recession but investments to China from Europe are up, the West is relying on value consumer goods from China more than ever before due to inflation crisis.

@onsight6595 Very true. Got to admit, they are very good at finding these words to lesser their crimes and wash away their guilt.

@greentea8852 Thanks. They are the master of truth twisting and history rewriting.

@Gulpathfinder Thanks for sharing your story. It is increasingly worrying for Chinese/Asians living in the US.

@blackjackpershing6469 Is NATO winning against Russia in its proxy war in Ukraine? The US had only invaded small defenceless nations and never won a single war they started with/involving China.

@martinfiedler4317 Where in my comment did you read that most people in Taiwan do not support separatism from the PRC? Nowhere. Hence pointless ''correction''. There is only ONE China, the island province of Taiwan belongs to China according to Republic of China's constitution. As it stands for now, the People's Republic of China is recognised by majority UN member countries as the sole legitimate representative of the ONE China. Which means Taiwan belongs to the PRC, whether the people there agree with this or not. And finally, the PRC government has always said that the ROC can retain everything it has, its (provincial) government, political system, economic system and even its army, as long as it does not attempt to become independent and potentially being recognised as an independent country by the UN member countries. To secede from China violates ROC's own constitution as well as PRC's, which is what the current Taiwan government is trying to do. And the PRC is not going to allow it. Both ROC and PRC belong to the same ONE China.

@1239Elc Since you are interested in China, I shall waste some time with you (I've seen and dealt with too many Westerners like you...) First, you consider videos/perspectives on this channel lack nuance, and portraying China in a ''fantasized'' way. But being objectively positive about China based on facts are NOT fantasizing China, you would only think that because you are conditioned to think about China this way, due to the overwhelmingly negative coverage of China (a lot of lies and misinformation too) from your mainstream media, and from many anti China channels here on YouTube. No, China is not perfect (no country is), China has its issues, some are the same ones as the West faces. The difference is that this channel and many other channels like this one provide you a perspective from Westerners who have (had) traveled, done business, lived/are still living in China, the perspective that is rarely presented in Western media, and guess what, some of their experiences are extremely positive and they are not afraid to speak about it. But does it mean they like everything about China, of course not, anyone with half of a brain knows this. Same as my comment, it is my own perspective, you might not agree, you might consider it lacks nuance, but it is based on my own experience, if you don't like it, it is your problem. Anyway, advice to you for the future is to offer arguments that can be substantialized with facts rather than slapping an emotional response, like ''oh China is all good like an angel'' which I have never said in the first place. No, China is not without any problem, the West is not all doom and gloom, but China is doing better than the West on many respects that the West can learn a lot from China. Finally, if you want to learn the real China, try remove your bias and preconception and best yet, go to China and see it for yourself.

@Nellis202 Lol, I hope you got your breath back, sorry about that ; )

@brianliew5901 To go down to 500 million prob would take a century, but I do think the Chinese government does need to develop some favourable birth policies, despite the exaggerated ''population crisis'' from the Western media.
4
@jonathanstein5049 Lol, how could China ''attack'' its own territory? Dominate and subjugate the Pacific Rim? That's what the US has been doing, you project very well.
4
Taiwan is a part of China, the Nationalist party of Republic of China period reestablished its rule over Taiwan after it lost the civil war with the Communist party in 1949, so Taiwan is in theory still in a civil war with Mainland China. China is dealing with separatist forces in Taiwan who want to declare independence and separate Taiwan away from China with the help of Western forces, China is only taking actions to maintain sovereignty over its own territory, it is not ''invading'', as you can not invade your own country.
4
@Andy-P Wrong, SOME Taiwanese do not want to be ruled by PRC China, but it nevertheless does not change the fact that ROC, Taiwan's official name is a part of China, recognised by most countries in the UN. China is NOT threatening to kill their own fellow Chinese living in Taiwan, the ''threat'' is only intended for the separatists and the Western forces who are aiding them. China has never prevented normal passing of vessels in the South China Sea, but it holds historical claims to some of the islands within that area of the sea, some of which are also claimed by other countries in the region, so this is just normal land disputes, not invasion. The same applies to with India. You seem want to claim China as the aggressor yet there is no fact and evidence to back this up, the country who has actually invaded ,occupied multiple countries and killed innocent people are Western countries, China has not been in any war with any nation for at least 50 years.
4
@martinfiedler4317 Lol, you love to play with words, but that doesn't change anything. There is only one sovereign country called China, yes just China, but it is named by the CPC government as PRC after their successful revolution and later winnings of the civil wars to overthrow the then corrupt Republic of China (1912 -1949) government led by the Chinese Nationalist Party (aka KMT). After the remnant KMT government and its forces retreated to the island of Taiwan, it continued its rule on the island with the same name Republic of China, yes the same ROC (Taiwan being part of it) when the KMT was in charge. But in 1979, after the US established formal relations with government of the PRC, the PRC became the sole legitimate representative of China, the island province of Taiwan (ROC) is a part of that China (PRC). So when you say, Both, the ROC and the PRC are sovereign countries. You are essentially saying that there are TWO Chinas, which is not reality. And no, I take no consideration of how the people of Taiwan feel about this. Neither should you, because you won't be sending yourself to the front-line to fight for Taiwan independence. Thus stop pretending you care about them.
4
For anyone who is still delusioning about ROC being a country (only because the PRC government tolerates the usage of such name because it contains the word China). The fact is ROC's KMT government had lost its effective rule over the Mainland from 1949 and over the whole of China from 1979. In other words, the ROC as a country had ceased to exist since the KMT government lost its effective rule over the Mainland after losing the civil wars, in turn making its rule over Taiwan illegitimate. Uninformed Western people should stop playing with words and making up the illusion that ROC is still a country, as I said, the name is only allowed to be used by Taiwan because it has the word China in it. ROC is DEAD since 1949.

@13opacus India is only making less than 2% of iPhones, because their poorly trained work force are producing a lot of substandard products. India has no chance to compete with China.

Fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, last Polish, last Romanian... and fight China to the last ''Taiwanese'', last Korean, last Japanese, last Australian... When will people wake up to the fact that Russia and China are NOT the enemies, but the greedy MIC and corporations controlled Western governments are. They have been making themselves fortunes at the expense of countless human losses and sufferings. Unless they are stopped, we, the entire humanity will continue to suffer.
3
@1239Elc Lol, I read some of your other comments/replies. You've indicated that this channel and comments are of some sort of ''Chinese propaganda''. Then you resorted to cheaply attack the commenters to get a reaction. I spoke from personal experience you clearly speak from bias, that's the difference.
3
@greentea8852 Yes, projection. This is what happens when one can only think of China from a single point of view plus lack of understandings of China.
3
@Anonymous------ Love your comment!
3
@davidrink1291 Absolutely, we need more people like Cyrus to fill the missing gap of the Western MSM where misinformation about China is put out daily creating fear and hate, we need more understanding between China and the West and its people, you are right we need peace, we should never allow ourselves to be manipulated by the politicians and media into any conflicts or war for their own selfish goal.
3
@ReWe1974 Looks like you need to refresh your history of China to find why China is entitled to the land of Taiwan, this is not about how you feel or even has anything do to with ''democracy'' or ''freedom''. BTW, Most Chinese people from the mainland also think they live in a democratic and free country, and that counts to at least one billion people. And what's more if you really insist on talking about democracy, then I can tell you most people from the Mainland do NOT want Taiwan to be separated away from China. I am sure you have no problem pick and choose whose democratic opinions ought to be taken seriously?
3
@Andy-P Do I really need to provide you with the definition of ''civil war'' or you are just playing stupid, why would China claim Australia, and when has China done so?
3
Like someone in the comment said, this Martin Fiedler's relevancy to the discussion was 0. Using Martin's own words, ''I only see confused and uninformed statements that are disproven by the facts and basic international law.'' Yeah that was exactly what all his arguments sounded, CONFUSED and UNINFORMED.
3
@martinfiedler4317 You said, "That Taiwan is a sovereign country, seperate and distinct from the PRC." Please find me this COUNTRY called either Taiwan or ROC on the list of UN member states. Until then your statement remains false. You said, "Also the 1971 vote does not mention either 'Taiwan' or the 'Republic of China'. False. I quote the following from "American Institute In Taiwan" website. "On october 25, 1971, the UN General Assembly passed United Nations Resolution 2758 (XXVI) which stated that the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government of China. The resolution replaced the ROC with the PRC as a permanent member of the Security Council in the United Nations." I also quote part statement of the resolution itself as follows. "Decides to restore all its rights to the People's Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations, and to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it." Conclusion: KMT's ROC government lost its legitimate representation as "China", that the PRC's government replaced the ROC (Taiwan) government as the sole legal ruling government of "China". ROC as a "country" has officially ended in 1971. Martin, please do us a favour, if you don't have anything relevant to contribute, just be quiet.

When will the West ever gonna realise that their arrogance and hypocrisy is not going to convince China to adopt their way of life and values, it only has done the opposite.

Why Latin America chose China? China builds value for money infrastructures in exchange for its needed resources, it offers flexible affordable financing without political conditions attached, most importantly, China is not interested in intervening the internal politics of these countries, China just wants to make good business deals, establishes mutual beneficial relationships, America however wants to come in exploit the resources belonging to the people of these countries for large profit gains, and if the people complain about it, America would then try to regime change their governments. It really is a no brainer why Latin America chose China.

@lordumas Lol, yep Copium is free at least

Thank god most countries in the world don't behave like the US, the US is the biggest threat to world peace.
2
@happyzahn8031 Lol, if this is the case, the Western media would all be talking about it, this has already been debunked to be false, the chips are Chinese made, as I said likely made in Huawei's own production facility.
2
China has not used state subsidies towards private enterprises, including both domestic and foreign (joint ventures). This is another anti China talking points, along with the ''population crisis'' you've been repeating in other comments
2
@DarlyaFaroeste Thank you for sharing your story ❤
2
@cchu319 Absolutely agree!
2
@mmm6214 Only if Google as a company has complied with China's laws and regulations, since they failed to do so, it was fair that China banned it, the US would do exactly the same to a Chinese company who violated US laws, so your example has no legs to stand on I am afraid.
2
 @watcherofthesky8574 Yes agreed.
2
@Richard Gilley Only in your biased mind filled with Western msm anti China propaganda, for others who live in reality, it is the absolute truth, clearly you need to watch more video from Cyrus!
2
@HermanWillems Firstly, not ''All'' software companies are ''banned'', secondly, they lost their operations in China because they refused to follow China's laws and regulations plus they simply weren't attracting enough users because Chinese own platforms outperformed them on popularity. Do your research, it isn't that hard.
2
@billyehh BTW, females abortions (due to culture preference) have not been practiced for many decades now, as it has been deemed illegal to selectively abort and hospitals simply do not offer the option of finding out the sexes of the baby, so it makes it impossible to abort on gender. I exposed another one of your false talking point.
2
@billyehh It has been an illegal practice for decades as I said before (official laws preventing selective abortion was drafted and implemented from 2014). So, the likelihood of this happening in Mainland China is very slim (but of course there will always be people who disobey the law and get away with it). There are people who go abroad or places like Hong Kong to avoid being punished. And consider China's large population (of childbearing age women), yes it would show up in the statistics, but this is changing as women and society as a whole is better educated. So, again, there is no need to single out China as somehow being particularly bad.
2
@ReWe1974 So it sounds like you have very little knowledge about the history of China in regards to Taiwan. I would then be happy to get into some very brief detail. Taiwan has been an official province of China since 1600s with early immigrations coming from the mainland as early as 1300s. It was given control to Japan for 50 years as a part of an unequal treaty after China lost a war with Japan in 1895, in 1945 after Japan surrendered having lost WW2, it returned Taiwan back to the then government of Republic of China (1912-1949), during which time there were several civil wars took place between different fractions within he Nationalist party and between the Nationalist party and Communist party. After the Nationalist party was defeated by the Communist party in a long civil war, it retreated to the Isle of Taiwan with the support of then Western imperialist forces which occupied parts of China. ROC was then recognised as the legitimate representative of China by major countries until 1979 when the US recognised PRC China as the only legitimate representative for China because around that time mainland China was seeking to reform its economical policy and help from the Western investments and at the same time the West wanted China to side with them in its cold war with Russia. It is in both PRC and ROC's constitution that one day the two ''China'' will unify as one and several attempts both peacefully and by force have been made to achieve this. And mainland China has always stand the position of peaceful reunification with Taiwan promising ''one country two system'' policy which has been implementing in Hong Kong since its return from the British. But in recent years the separatist forces in Taiwan lead by the current ruling party DPP have been trying to seek independence with the aid of US and other Western countries as a way to contain China and also trying to change its constitutions to legitimise its action. China is only trying to maintain its sovereignty over its own territory and despite of the differences of Taiwan's political system to China's, many people in Taiwan do not support separatism and independence, and most mainland Chinese support reunification asap by any mean. It is the Chinese government has been trying its best to sort of differences and continuously maintaining its position of reunification by peaceful means.
2
@ReWe1974 Then I think it is also fair to give the same right to all Chinese people all over the world to vote if they would be happy with Taiwan independence, and trust me I know the outcome already, it will be an overwhelming NO. This is not the same as Scottish independence or Irish independence as they are already independent nations, but Taiwan is not and has never been, and it matters to China's sovereignty and national security, therefore matters to the interests of Chinese people everywhere.

@ReWe1974 NO, you were merely one of the invading forces, which your history clearly failed to tell you, did they tell you China sent forces from the mainland to expel your occupying force? I guess if you want to claim it then you should also claim all other former colonies of yours, why not, see if people would like it, lol.
2
@ReWe1974 And when you landed in Taiwan, the Chinese has already occupied and claimed Taiwan for over 300 years. So you were a bit late to say the least.
2
@ReWe1974 LOL, here comes your Western imperialist version of twisted facts, ''China will be nothing without the West.'' Do you know China's contribution to the winning effort of WW2 by defeating the majority of the Japanese imperialist army on the soil of mainland China, and I bet they also didn't tell you that Russia defeated the majority of the German Nazi army in Europe, not the British or Americans. Do you know China has erased and reset the debt for many developing nations while helping with their urgent infrastructure need, if you think China is an imperialist country, you need to look up the definition of ''imperialism''. The West did NOT put China where it is today, China's own economical policy and hard work of its people did. And you can doubt China all you like but the fact is the West by far contributed to most deaths and destruction with its illegal wars and occupations in recent history, this is not something we even need to debate on.
2
@ReWe1974 ''China is more focused to expand their will and power… clearly a government that lives in the spirit off the year 1300.'' No, totally not, quite the opposite, China is resisting the hegemon of the Western imperialists who never stopped dreaming of dividing China and subjugating the Chinese people, you are imagining China as a threat but failed to mention the West has already brought much destruction and deaths in their pursuit of expending their will and power, Lol, in the name of some so called values. Open borders and free economy does not mean disregard of other countries' sovereignty, talking about modern times, I can't classify invading countries and bombing innocent people in another country as being civilised, lol the irony.
2
@ReWe1974 There is NO 1.5 million Uyghurs in reeducation camps, I know this is always a go to for people like you, as if somehow that will justify the China bad image, these are nothing but lies put out by the West to demonise China, and much of it has already been debunked to be either fiction or based on flimsy evidence, there was however a serious Islamic extremism problem in Xinjiang that was funded and supported by the West in its effort to divide China. China has many policies actually favour their minorities which the West would never tell you about, there are 56 minorities in China, all are proud to be a member of its multicultural community. Loos like you are brainwashed by western media bs, but most of you westerners are. There is also no Tiananmen Square Massacre in case you would go for this one too, lol.
2
@ReWe1974 By the way, the West condoned the Japanese to carry out its imperialist wars at the beginning in many Asian countries, so they actually helped to encourage of Japan's war crimes, it was only when Japan attacked the US, it then decided to punish Japan, so no, they were not there to help China or anyone else as some selfless hero as you try to portray here.
2
@ReWe1974 It looks like you are deeply brainwashed by all the anti China talking points put out by the Western media, we can go on and on but you really need to stop watching MSM if you are interested in truth. I hope I have done my bit to enlighten you somewhat but good luck anyway.
2
@ReWe1974 I am just saying much of your opinions about China are not based on facts and of course as a Chinese I have a right to call out lies about China and anyone who echo these lies, I hope you keep an open mind when it comes to China. Opinions should be based on facts otherwise it is called rumours just so you know.
2
@ReWe1974 I have lived in both the West and China for 20 years each, so I think I know China more than you do, as I have seen it with my own eyes what China is like, I can also claim I have good understanding about the West which I have spent a good amount of time in. Again neither your feelings nor opinions should be taken as facts, and facts equally don't care about your opinions.
2
@ReWe1974 I am a Chinese national living in the UK now.
2
@ReWe1974 It is shame that I have not changed your views about China, your mainstream news media is NOT and has proven NOT be a reliable source of news on China, as they normally follow along a particular often one sided narrative when it comes to China, the truths speak for itself, I am doing my bit to help you to form a fair view of China, but you shouldn't take anyone's words for it, you really need to see it for yourself if you are interested, China is always open to visitors. (maybe after the pandemic)
2
@ReWe1974 And for most people who have ever visited China, they will find China is nothing like what the West has portrayed, there is no perfect country of course, but the real China is certainly not half as bad as the your media wants you to believe.
2
@ReWe1974 Is this why Julian Assange and a number of people got sent to prison for speaking the truth in the West? You can NOT say everything you want in the West, in fact there are more things you can not say freely in the West than China, I can tell you, but of course you can not say certain things in China publicly, it is the Chinese own political correctness and also for other reasons such as society harmony and stability, but there are plenty dissenting voices in the Chinese social media and guess what there is no problem whatsoever to the owners of these voices, how do you think China could have made this much progress if the Chinese government are blind and deaf to people's opinions and concerns, they care very much what people think, like in most countries, use your common sense, I am afraid to say, with your very narrow minded mentality on China, you are never going to learn about China.
2
@ReWe1974 There is no social credit system the way that the West portrayed it, it is just another one of those anti China talking points from the Western media, it is merely a credit rating system which you already have in the West, to help organizations to evaluate your credibility and trustworthiness, it is not there to be used against you or track you, it is also to encourage people to take personal responsibility especially in pubic settings, it is mostly there to identify people who would be facing financial difficulties and help people to go though it, so again nothing bad as what the West tell you.
2
@ReWe1974 No, Julian Assange is in prison is because he exposed war crimes of the US army, all other accusations are just excuses to put him in prison, and since it is an open secret that the US has committed war crimes, I don't know why he is still in prison, it is in the pubic interests to know about the West's war crimes. And he should be treated as a hero.
2
@ReWe1974 Anyway before I go, I will just say if you want to learn about the real China, keep an open mind, do not trust everything your media tells you and take opinions and accounts of people who actually been and lived in China rather than people who haven't and talk about China with an agenda behind them.
2
 @ReWe1974 There are plenty American people hate America but still live in America also plenty Americans love America but live abroad, so what is your point?
2
@ReWe1974 Why are some Western politicians who lied to their people to go to wars are no in prison for committing war crimes? It is in the public knowledge that they ordered illegal invasions but why are they not in prison? Is it because they are powerful people where Julian Assange is not? It is just hypocrisy and you support it of course.
2
The Anglo-American empire is never going to give up its world domination, Taiwan's election result will not change the fact that it is and has always been merely a chess piece in the empire's efforts to subjugate China. Neither parties in Taiwan nor their supporters have any say in their own destiny, but it is still not too late for the people of Taiwan to realise being a ''friend'' of the US empire will eventually be fatal. China is the only force who could guarantee the peace and stability of that region.
2
And the West wants to repeat the same failed ''strategy" on China for a potential war over Taiwan. Just imagine how many times worse the backfirings that sanctions against China will cause to the US/West. The US/West is too arrogant to learn from their mistakes and always underestimates Russia, China and the Global South.
2
Well said antwango!

China is far from point to be panic about its population By Global Times, Jan 18, 2023 ''China's status as one of the most populous countries in the world will not change. A slight decline in population will not lead to stagnation of China's GDP growth and it will not become a stumbling block to surpass the US economy. If China's development slows down, population decline will not be the top reason. Chinese scholars and ordinary people have long known that this was coming. Yuan Xin, a professor from the Institute of Population and Development at Nankai University's School of Economics, told the Global Times that China's national population is currently hovering around the zero-growth stage. Some young people decided to delay pregnancy due to the pandemic. It is thus possible to see a population growth rebound in two or three years to come, said Yuan. According to UN's World Population Prospects 2022, China's population will still remain larger than 1.3 billion by 2050. That is by no means a small population size. Yuan noted that in the next 30 years, China's population decrease will be mild, and China will still be a huge market. With rising incomes and consumption power, its enormous potential will remain inestimable.''
1
Great video Cyrus, love the graphs, straight forward and impactful, plus many convincing arguments! China still has many improvements to be made but there has never been such level of confidence and pride among the Chinese people and their confidence and trust in their government, you are right, China is very focused in providing its people a better life and it is no doubt on the right track. I would be great if the West could learn to live with China's positive progress instead of considering it a threat, because if only they bother to look into China's culture and history they would know China has never intention to dominate or threaten anyone.
1
He should take a visit to China's modern automated manufacturing facilities, AI will gradually replace labour intensive jobs, it is a worldwide trend. The Chinese youth wouldn't want to work in manufacturing anyway. What all these clowns like Zeihan is doing is fearmongering and portraying China in a negative light. None of his claims are proven by studies nor hard data.
1
@billyehh You forgot China holds most numbers of patents of the processing technologies. Yes, it is polluting which means such work will not pass Western countries environmental regulations to start with. It will take years before the West could match China's production capacity. And China hasn't even started yet (more rare earth bans will come if the US continues to apply economic sanctions on China).
1
Beast Mode Lol, Latin America is nobody's backyard, no matter what doctrine you gonna put back, I hope you are joking if not good luck to you Americans with this imperialistic mentality.
1
@billyehh Lol, only the West sees them as ''debt traps'', the Global South doesn't neither do they care about Western talking points. Consumers in the US/West are buying less because they aren't given free money like they did during Covid, they ordered Chinese stuff like crazy though while stayed at home during lock down, lol.
1
Adam Schiff: "The United States aids Ukraine and her people, so that we can fight Russia over there, and we don’t have to fight Russia here." Lindsey Graham: ''Fight China to the last Taiwanese.''
1
Basically, the Chinese government does not want to have to ''clean up the mess'' if a private financial company like Ant Financial who could take on too much risks only for profit making, we are talking about the security of people's hard earned savings, financial stability is a very important part of the overall stability of China, China does not want a US style of financial crisis that was created by reckless lending.
1
What do you think will happen when the US/West teaches their citizens to hate China/Chinese? Yes, the Chinese will hate back, of course I am not talking about using violence but I am talking about this will make the Chinese people more patriotic, more united, even more determined to do better. Hate and negativity is a sign of weakness, hate and jealousy will not make America become a better country, it will only make it fall more quickly.
1
@Jessexchen Self hating Chinese, pathetic
1
@Jessexchen 台湾自古以来就是中国的一部分，从来没有独立过，也从来不可能独立。台湾被归还于中(华民)国是二战(主日侵华战争)中死去的2千万中国人民用鲜血换来的，你要独立，不流血是不行的，其他都是废话。
1
I don't think the world is that interested of whereabouts of Jack Ma, only the anti China (Western) media IS, Jack Ma ''disappeared'' would suit that China= bad narrative of the anti China media. Why does Jack Ma have to prove he is alive and well just because the Western media pushes out some speculations and rumours which it routinely does. If people have to start reacting to all these nonsense, there wouldn't be time for anything else. It is the most stupid logic that if someone like Ma is not seen for a while, that person must have been disappeared, but it is understandable when most Westerners are brainwashed by all the anti China fear mongering Western media that demonise China everyday. The whole thing is about China wanting to make sure private financial companies like Ma's follow the appropriate regulations so to avoid potential crisis like the one in 2008, Jack Ma's words were against China's official policies and he needs to be reminded that China is a socialist country where financial security of the country is of foremost importance. This has nothing to do with ''striping away people's human rights'' or any other anti China talking points you got brainwashed with. Keep an open mind if you really want to know about China, that is why you watch this channel right?
1
@christinehaines3759 Why did you make all these unfounded assumptions without proof and logical thinking, because you are brainwashed. Why do yo keep repeating these CIA anti China talking points, because you are brainwashed. If you value critical thinking, you will turn off your MSM, because your brain is being starve of truth!
1
@christinehaines3759 Did you actually read my first comment? Were you one of those who got punished by the Chinese government for speaking the ''truth'? Have you been to China? The answer is NO, NO, and NO. That solves the mystery why you talk so much BS.
1
@christinehaines3759 I hope you have heard that Jack Ma is alive and well, and your baseless clueless assumptions are now all busted in front of your eyes. I have never acknowledged that the Chinese government ''punish people for expressing their opinions''. This is total nonsense, it shows your total ignorance about China, despite you having been to China, you need to have stayed in China for at least 6 months to be even qualified to talk about China. If you have read my first comment you would understand why Jack Ma has been quiet, this has nothing to do with expressing a different opinion or criticism against the Chinese government, nothing to do with ''oppression'', or your imaginary ''lack of freedom'' in China. None of those exists in reality in China other than in your own bubbles that resulted from years of brainwashing.
1
The West has since long ago and still very actively been undermining its own credibility. They really can't blame others for losing trust on the West. The so called Western values it tries to spread to the world are nothing but hypocritical values, ''do as I say not as I do'', but sorry, most countries follows the UN charter, international law not the supremacy might is right law of the jungle ''rule'' based order of the West.
1
@hclau218 I agree with you. To install puppets and get them to be subservient to the West is for the ultimate purpose of implementing in these countries a complete Western systems, i.e. unfettered Capitalism, exploitation of labour, privatised healthcare, mindless consumerism, ''Woke'' agenda and so on... so yes ''to make them like the West'', eventually and ultimately.
1
@ysw8291 They think they know what is good for the Chinese people better than the Chinese themselves, classic Western superiority/saviour complex.
1
@MarkYeung1 It is getting better. It doesn't help when the West constantly twists the words coming from the Chinese side.
1
@johnmccormack4183 Thank you 🙏

@GurpreetSingh-iv1ur Nice you had a positive experience there ; )
1
As a Chinese, I don't mind constructive criticisms from the West or anyone, but I can assure them that any attempt to create instability and potential suffering of China/Chinese people will be met with fierce resistance by the majority of us Chinese, the West tried this on China many times in the past but failed and they should just give it up if they are wise.
1
Moonland Almond Lol, did they harvest your brain also? Time to reunite with your brain.
1
As a Chinese, I wish India all the best. But they need to understand that the US/West just wants to use India to suppress the rise of China/the Multipolar world, that the real prospect of developments will have to come from multipolar organizations/projects like the BRICS, SCO, BRI, etc..., so the least India could do is NOT to sabotage the progress of these organizations/projects.
1
Ted Cruz is a total joke, nothing he ever said has any credibility, this is what most politicians in the West are like, all words no action. And when it comes to bashing China, it is all about scoring political points, do they really care about the people in Hong Kong and Xingjiang? NOT ONE BIT!
1
Fear sells, Western media basically generates profits through fearmongering both for themselves and for their ad sponsors including large corporations and military contractors, and the corporations also fund think tanks to push out more fears in order to win governmental contracts, it is about profit and maintaining the Western hegemony by making China, a serious competitor of the West look bad. It is mainly the Western people who are brainwashed by these narratives and some false claims on China, conditioned on a daily basis to think it is perfectly acceptable to demonise a nation and if the West would start a war with China, they would easily side with the West.
1
If only all the warmongering politicians send themselves and families to the frontline, then I give them all the respect they deserve but you know they are cowards and would never do that instead get the nobodies from the poor of the society to die for the military industrial complex' profit machine. People need to wake up, China is not a nation, unlike many in the West, would submit to the will of another nation by any means, especially by force, if the US insists to "rule over" China by force then let's go to war, see how fast humans could destroy each other and the planet. I don't know why and how, many in the West don't find this idea utterly stupid.
1
The West has been demonising China forever, I guess they hated the fact that the Chinese led by the CPC kicked out the Western imperialists who almost succeeded in colonising most of China back in the 1800s, and the fact that China, a country governed by its own unique ideology and economical system has becoming more successful in a short period of time. Having been bombarded with so much anti China rhetoric from the West in the past few years, it can not be more clear to me that the West loves to see China remain a poor, underdeveloped and weak nation. But I am afraid the West will be disappointed therefore remain spiteful for quite a long time to come.
1
The US does not understand win-win cooperation, it does not understand mutual respect and diplomacy, it only knows bullying. What is happening now, the closer than ever China Russia relationship, the creation of new financial platforms/trading currencies within the Global South organizations like the BRICS, is entirely self inflicted and the US only has itself to blame.
1
Western media is not just biased, it deliberately misinform for various agenda, I used to think it was just because the lack of understanding and knowledge from the West but now it is 100% trying to mislead to push out the anti China agenda, I would go as far as saying IT is responsible for all the anti Asian attacks happening in the West, it has blood on its hands, this dangerous game it is playing has to stop before more tragedies happen. Western media will have to be held accountable for what they report or falsely report rather, we need more and more independent media like yours to expose their lies and fact check them!
1
@als8627 Last time I checked there is no 300% increase of racially motivated attacks on Americans in China. Be objective.
1
I am sorry, as a Chinese, it is not difficult to understand how a warmongering nation like America has gun violence problems, your society normalise violence, look at your aggressive warmongering foreign policy, look at some of your movies glorify violence and gore, you have a serious problem and that is not just about gun control and checks.
1
The US always underestimates China and Russia, its arrogance and shortsightedness will in the end hurt itself instead of countries it sanctions. Sanctions on Russia have already backfired onto the Western economy and sanctions on China will backfire only many times worse. Zero sum game mentality of the US/West will get themselves nowhere, but leads to markets and economic isolation of the West. China will develop its own advanced chips in no time, nothing could stop China reaching all its goals for own peaceful development as well as for the developing world.
1
China's business is business, America's business is war.
1
Lol, China is such a threat, is so economically, technologically and militarily advanced to the degree of now getting sanctioned by the US, yet it could totally collapse on any given day, the West really needs to sort out their mental disorder/illness.
1
@mmm Only if Google as a company has complied with China's laws and regulations, since they failed to do so, it was fair that China banned it, the US would do exactly the same to a Chinese company who violated US laws, so your example has no legs to stand on I am afraid.
1
There are a few things the US says when it wants to show care to the people in the other countries, let me translate them for you. 1. It tells you that it would bring you democracy, freedom and human rights. (Translation: you have resources I want to steal and/or you are a country of strategic importance, we are invading you.) 2. It tells you that you have an evil authoritarian leader who is killing your own people. (You have a leader who dares to stand up to the US and refuses to follow orders) 3. It tells you that your government is a threat to the world. (You have a sensible and capable government that runs a country in a better way than the US and is about to surpass the US as a world power.) 4. It tells you that your government is supressing the country's ethnic minorities. (Your government's policies which will create a united, harmonious and stable country is going to be bad for the US' interests) And do feel free to add more...
1
Lol
1
I am sorry, the days when the US politicians can shout out anti China slogans and stir up anti China sentiments in order to win domestic support or/and benefit the weapon manufactures while taking advantage of China economically and only seeking cooperation when it sees fit are long gone. It's time the US/West start to treat China with respect and as equals. We Chinese are not stupid, so better quit treating us as such.
1
@Shenzhou. Just to say, the practice of purchasing foreign wives is not something the Chinese government encourages, in fact, I think this is illegal, as it is borderline human trafficking. Just thought to put this out there (i.e. I don't agree that this is a solution). Btw, there is a natural ratio that more boys are born than girls, part of the human biology. This applies to all races and countries on earth. So to suggest only China has this problem is absurd.
1
They think by doing this, the Chinese will hate their government but in fact this will only make them support their county even more.
1
@Hoo88846 That is what Chinese/Asian Americans are already doing, buying guns, they don't feel safe.

@Captain_Crump I am talking about a metaphorical witch hunt, the hate/Sinophbia is being stirred up by the politicians and someone will act on it, I am talking about a general sentiment of not feeling safe as a Chinese/Asian living in the US/West, which can be very stressful.
1
@cantripleplays Isn't it obvious to you? In fact, not only China and Russia's interests align, together their common interests matters a great deal to the rest of the world, they act as a balancing force against the warmongering US empire who seems to be trying its hardest to push us towards WW3.
1
@orrorsaness5942 Western countries don't purge and crackdown on the populace? I have lived in the West for as long I have lived in China, I beg to differ, why you only single out China? I can tell you the Chinese government listens to its people a lot better than Western governments do.
1
@claudjohnson3540 You are quite shameless, you didn't lose more people only because you bombed the places flat, you bombed the places so much you ran out of targets to bomb, against a China that was fighting a coalition of Western countries (in the Korean war) with pretty much nothing. But the key is, you are right, the US did NOT win.
1
@johnteets2921 The society and educational system of the entire Western world is degenerating, and its population deeply brainwashed by their mainstream media's lies.
1
Lol, American imperialist hegemony is NOT problematic. Killing millions with its wars and sanctions is NOT. Yeah blame China, you are part of the problem. FYI, China has no ambition to rule the world as America does, it just wants to give its people a better life.
1
The biggest threat to American democracy and freedom is the corrupt American government and their mouthpiece media. Most Americans are brainwashed beyond repair, a good example here.
1
Lol, a "country" NOT recognised by overwhelming majority of UN member countries including all Western countries.
1
Second time my comment is censored on this channel, I guess ''they'' can't take my criticism.
1
How many military base has China got? It's kind hard to "take over" the world with just one. China does mutual trade and economic development to give people around the world a better life. Too much Western media brainwasing from you
1
Her separatists government is completely corrupt, lying to the people of Taiwan that the US will come to ''defend'' their ''democracy''. No, the US only cares to use them as a tool to contain China's rise, fight China to the last ''Taiwanese''.
1
Your email to CGTN completely destroyed those two racists' narrative and accusations, on the other hand maybe they need to prove to people that they are not paid shills of the CIA, I would rather hope that they are just a couple of bitter losers, but nevertheless, their contents are vile and they are responsible at least in part of all the Asian hate attacks.
1
Democracy comes in many forms, you think the US has true democracy? You think just because your media tells that China is not democratic then it is NOT? Nothing can convince a person who is close minded
1
Gert, what is your solution for China? I'd love to hear it, since China is so bad then what are you going to do about it?
1
@gert_kruger China's system has lifted 800 million people out of poverty and put 400,000 people into middle class, it is a system that has worked to improve lives, if you have a problem with your own country's system in the West, then you should seek change in your own country before blaming other countries. There are pros and cons in every system, but I understand it is hard for people like you who seem to think of the world in black and white terms.
1
@martinfiedler4317 Lol, projection will also get you nowhere. Confused and uninformed is what I have seen from you. And yes I only argued based on facts known to everyone, and you quoted a bunch of stuff hardly anyone refers to thus has no validity to the topic. Strictly speaking, ROC's government has been illegitimate under the international law.
1
@martinfiedler4317 Why don't you refute any part of my statements for not being factually correct? You can't because you don't have anything valid to refute them with. LOL International law? China believes and follows the UN charter 1945, unlike the US and a bunch of other Western countries. You project well, lol.
1
@ChairmanMeow-fv5ym LOL, you must not be aware that the current Taiwan government has been trying to remove the Chinese identity from its population by altering school text books, etc. The "TRUE" China who is ashamed of their history and identity, you've got a good sense of humor 🤣
