  6. Many people around the world work on the holidays. They gets a lot of extra compensation (plus days off after holidays) for doing so. Government jobs are highly sought after in China so I don’t feel sorry for them.

  7. Sounds great how much is the Uber to get there? :-)

  8. This is why most American brands in China are franchised by large Chinese companies in order to minimize risk.

  13. Too bad in China they don’t show much regarding the horrors of war on tv or films. They also don’t show much history where they were the superior army or aggressors (vs Vietnam, India...). They want the public to maintain the victim mentality.

  14. Until China treat its own people better no one would willingly join it.

  15. Wonder what secrets does he know about....

  16. China should be comparing itself from when it won the civil war not from 40 years ago.

  25. Where is the social or medical support in a communist/socialist country? Which is why CCP is afraid of any group (ngo, religious...) that provides social services that is not under its direct control.

  26. Videos like this will not be shown in China. Just like china says to it’s own people that China is great and strong while preaching to the outside world that it is still a poor developing country (so be more lenient with us on trade and other issues).

  28. This news is probably not reported or discussed in China.

  29. Kissinger (and Nixon) made a big mistake in opening trade with a corrupt communist government. They should have let them self destruct economically in following socialism. More painful for China in the short term but better in the long run for themselves and the world.

  30. This is part of reason why China is not having enough Children

  32. Makes Skilled Blue Collar work even more attractive over the long term

  33. China does not need to develop new ideas since it is very easy to copy ideas now and since many many companies come to China to manufacture their new innovative stuff. So CCP can have the best of both worlds control over what students learn and growing economy.

  41. Actually I thought at first (before watching video) it was a backward religious or anti American protest after watching the video and seeing that it was for Kpop (which I am not a fan of) I feel for better or worse Indonesians have joined the modern world .

  42. SCMP is owned by Alibaba/Jack Ma so it is a china controlled publication. As long as they tow the party line in China they will not be shut down.
