Is this what success looks like in the world's most powerful and richest country? Economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages for the last fifty years, costly healthcare, an expensive education system, student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, poor public transportation systems, racial inequality, mass incarceration, the militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing affordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence. Instead of prioritizing the welfare of their people, they meddle in other countries to spread their version of democracy. The question is whether the USA can continue to survive with its version of democracy, not whether it can have any leadership role in the global order. The basis of Western democracy is that people within a country are divided into parties with different ideologies, interests, and policies to compete against each other in a winner-take-all contest to determine who will govern the country for a period of time. Groups and institutions spend more time and resources competing against each other, rather than making long-term plans to improve their country. One party's national development plans, infrastructure projects, and policies are undone and reversed by the next party. This wastes resources and impedes progress because long-term plans cannot be implemented. In China, the people cannot change their government, but they can change the government policies. In the West, the people can change their government, but they cannot change the government policies. In the US, the wealthy dictate (through lobbying and political donations) government policies. In China, the wealthy have no special say in government policies.

The Chinese system has no checks and balances. If a govt. goes wrong, things can tirn tragic. 1949 to 1976 under Mao, China had man made famines and killings of dissidents. 70 million died, a lot them due to starvation. If you think that CCP is a better system, think again. In my opinion, XI Jin Ping is leading them down a rabbit hole. Time will tell.

He has really helped me appreciate that there are other (better) approaches to governance and we should drop the Western arrogance and listen and learn.

Wonderful discussion and Eric seems like a decent bloke too.

Karen Koh: Why doesn't China act in a manner consistent with civilized nations in this situation? The host, Karen Koh, expresses her superior and patronizing opinions of China. The patience and wisdom of Eric Li are worthy of admiration and respect.

He is a wiseman!

Mr. Li sings the praise for the CCP governace that enabled miraculous economic development convincingly. America's liberal capitalism has reached a stagnation due to extreme inequality, its middle class had shrunk to the benefit of the top 1%; and nearly 20% of its population without food and shelter.

It's all semantics and journalists are good at it. That is why they are journalists and not philosophers. But it is a big jump from journalism to philosophies.

46:00 - the demographics problem is - in my opinion - overblown. The entire world (including developing countries such as India) are on a trend towards declining demographics, the PRC is hardly alone in that area. Demographics is more of a demand-side problem rather than a supply side problem. AI & automation will be more than enough to offset the shrinking workforce, the problem will be the availability of demand - the stagnating population needs to have sufficient income to be able to consume all the products that are manufactured by automated enterprises. Again, this is a global problem that's independent of systems of government, & hardly unique to "authoritarian" China.

23:00 - "Generally speaking, when people have access to reliable, checkable, transparent information, they make better decisions..." I agree with this statement by the moderator IN THEORY, but her unstated assumption is that the so-called "free" press - as it currently exists in the US & the rest of the West - has ANY of those aforementioned characteristics. Anyone actually living in the West would tell you that the modern media in the West - be it mainstream OR alternative, has NOT by any stretch of the imagination "reliable, checkable, or transparent". Moreover, I find the "free" press' ability to produce "reliable, checkable, & transparent" information highly suspect in the first place, even at a theoretical level. If you have the freedom to say anything you want without the threat of an authority figure imposing some kind of consequence, where's the deterrence against telling lies or manipulative, misleading narratives? If anyone with enough money can pay propagandists to spin any narrative they want, how do you know the narrative they produce is "reliable, checkable, & transparent"? I'm certainly not suggesting that a centrally-controlled press is manipulation or propaganda-free, but the assertion that a "free" press (as it currently exists in the West) does an incrementally better job is not supported by the facts. If one looks at the Edelman Trust Barometer over the past decade, the public in so-called "free" countries have far lower trust in their own media than many of their counterparts in "authoritarian" countries.

No responsibled goverment will regulate free speeches, free Informations , etc, if it deemed fit & do no harm to the country & societies in the sense it raises anxieties. Becos it does no harm therefore deemed not necessary. But, if it is harming, then it is the goverment's resposibility to handle it. Becos, being a resposibled goverment so to say. Meaning, if the speeches, informations are good, doing no harm certainly no goverment would regulate it or simply it need no objections. In the case of Covid deaths, how much figure will justify the reality on the ground. Somehow , free speach, free reporting will always views it from biase optic. Figures small or big or free speeches are threatening but actions solve it. To control & regulated the facts & follow with thorough actions to overcome the problems is entirely different from hidden/falsifying the facts & sweeps the problem under the carpets. China was the former kind. If you can remember, a country with free speeches, free informations, the Covid deaths toll was over 200 thousands. So clearly, what you need is not free speeches, informations, etc, but the actions followed.

Such uninformed questioning, those mean figures are just trendlines and not all clusters hit the mean exactly. Classical stereotyping speech freedom that's only 15% accurate.

The lady host seems not very impressed with Eric. Alibaba and Jack Ma is old technology, there are new technologies from China. XJP is clamping down Jack Ma for different reasons. XJP is protecting China’s economy. And China needs new technologies I thought China’s long term plan is strategic and has helped the country to move forward.

31:00 - the questioner appears to operate under the assumption that multi-billionaires should somehow have unconstrained freedom to create wealth (mostly for themselves, naturally), & if they're "taken down a peg" in any way or any circumstance, that would somehow "destroy" innovation. That seems like a very extreme neo-liberal view of the world. Let's say a billionaire is prevented from making his 30th, 50th, or 100th billion dollars due to the problematic public impact of his wealth creation, is that REALLY going to disincentivize others from striving to create wealth? Can anyone find me an earnest entrepreneur out there that says "since the networth of Bill Gates, or Jack Ma, or Elon Musk is limited to 'only' $50, or $100, or $150, or $XXX billions of dollars, the game is 'rigged' & I'm not going to even try to make my 1st billion or 1st million"?

This man is trying to answer but keeps repeating, 'this is a fact' when it is not established as a fact. Not only that, a fact can be a manipulation of information, so it is a 'fixed' fact.

ERic's response to questions on free specch was not pursasive and not convincing.

The host’s attitude is toxic. She should be impartial, balanced and stay neutral.

Disappointing to hear this Singaporean asked this low level question. So un-informed. Poor guy.

Also, democracy is not about giving you the "best" government. Even the purest democratic state would result in poor outcomes - because "The People" as a whole, can make errors. Democracy is about PREVENTING the WORST outcome - that is, a Hitler or a Stalin, arising and massacring its own people. That's what democracy is about - the government has limits on its power, and the leader has limits on their powers and how long they can stay in power. That way, even if a very bad man gets into power, they won't stay forever. The damage, will, hopefully, be limited without the need for a violent uprising. In China's situation - who can challenge Xi? He's leader-for-life. He can do ANYTHING he wants. Well, say you like Xi. Say you think he should be leader for life. What about the next guy? Will you like him as much as Xi? Will he be as smart as Xi? Will he be as capable as Xi? Of course, democratically elected leaders are, also, not perfect. Just look at Trump, for god's sake. He's awful. But note - he is no longer President. Even if, god forbid, he becomes President again, he's limited to only four years. Then he will leave. if a bad man gets a hold of China's top position, will anyone challenge him or force him to leave? I doubt they'd be able to. You can rightly point to a lot of the failings of the West - god knows there's a lot of problems with the West. But I can criticise my Prime Minister without fear. I can disagree with his policies. I can recognise that he is human, and flawed. I don't have to read a book he wrote for social credit. I don't have to pretend his "thought" is some sort of super-philosophy that I must follow. Can those in China do the same? And if you disagree, I invite you to walk into any public space in China, and openly, publicly, disagree about a SINGLE THING your President Xi has done. Will you dare do it? No, you won't. You have to pretend he is a God - and you know damn well he is not.
