luckily the US had failed to push their failed democracy to China, LOL. If China has multi-party electoral democracy, it will be very divisive, almost like the US and the opposition party in China will even be funded by CIA like what they did in many countries when those ruling governments do not align themselves to US interests, hence there will be many unrest like riots and even revolution. And also, politicians in China will keep playing the nationalist sentiment like everywhere else, to keep themselves voted into office again, hence there will be real confrontations with other countries. And most importantly, China will be nowhere near as prosperous and advanced as today because politicians from both sides will debate non-stop and even smear each other on issues like whether to build bridges, roads, high speed rails and even to wear masks or not during Covid !!

But still these videos are available. Just companies don’t want to advertise online on a video with such topics. So KZread has a set of rules to demonetize videos. Regardless of they are pro China or not. Mostly political discussions are demonetized. Also pro right, pro left, conspiracy theories, also some people spreading the corona virus was made in a lab or bill gates wants to eat our brains. He just looks at the China KZread perspective and tells his feelings. N=1. Also his core message is …… well he talks about censorship in the west of Chinese ideas by holding a speech in front of a western audience and uploading it to a western website. How this paradox is something he could not notice ?

"Americans usually want china to be like Americans" That is a fallacy that the US has been very successful selling to too many people around the world. The US does not even appreciate ethnic Chinese Americans who are fully "americanised" and whose ancestors were already US citizens way back from the 1700s. The Chinese has been the "Yellow Peril" since the white men first met and interacted with the chinese people and that mentality has not changed an iota. The chinese people need to stop buying the snake oil mixed with crocodile tears from the US or the west about that belief or America's wish. The truth is the US wants China to always be poorer and less advanced/ stronger than the US. Its political system and ideology is irrelevant. Under the present geopolitical scenario, that pretension of wishing that "China being just like us" has been discarded and openly named China as an enemy of the US.

@@YoungTang ...Did you even read what I said? I'm not getting this from any media, I'm getting this information from people who were involved. Do you know what Beida is? It's the best university in China, tied with Qinghua. At Tiananmen square, Beida students made up the bulk of the forces, so I'd say that the amount of deaths that happened there are pretty representative of what happened. From what she's told me, the chaos started as the students were leaving the square, as previously negotiated with the officials. It seemed that someone in the back had shouted that there was someone shooting or something? And from her recollection, it seemed that there had been one shot, but it seemed to be aimed at the sky, to try and scare off whoever was in the back. After that, it was chaos, as the stories got distorted or exaggerated by the chaoticness of the night. It was only after the incident, when the students all came back to school that they reconvened and talked about the incident. All of the students involved had to write many reports and paperwork to the government, so they had to recall what happened the night of. It seems that overall, no one died in her department (Computer Science), one person died in the chemistry department, and a couple were dead in the political science department. There were also a couple more from other departments, but overall, the vast majority of people were alive. In no way does any of her account or anything she's heard from her fellow students support that the military, ordered by the government, fired upon the mass of student protesters to try and massacre them. And in fact, accounts by various people who I know are accredited have also supported this view. Many of these people nowadays are simply professionals in their field (after all, they did go to the best university in China, and were the best and brightest of their generation). A couple of them even immigrated overseas, and interestingly enough, some of the more political ones actually moved back, and now are in various positions of power in the government. Some of them are still in contact. I think it should be considered that basically every single person of a certain age range who went to university at certain places was most likely a student protester. The fact is that the vast majority of students who were in the square protesting on that night are alive and doing very well for themselves, which they wouldn't be able to do if they had all been shot dead.

Yes ….. especially because we all searched for this video and the YT algorithm didn’t suggest it to us. I woke up this morning and felt like typing “the China model behind ……. Western bla bla bla” And came on this video which KZread never wanted me to see. 😂😂😂 And then the censorship …… he speaking on a stage in front of a western audience and uploading it to a western website…. Poetics every single point of that.

They hate Chinese system because they can't do regime change in that......😅😅😅😅

Good job you have my respect, but this will never work. Maybe next time start with the western image of China and debunk it with 反讽.

He’s right. If you don’t value freedom and democracy, China is a great country. And unfortunately, it seems that many people in the comment section don’t. For shame.

What’s your opinion of Representative democracy, basically everyone joins and compete in suburb level, then the best in suburb level joins on issue of city level. Everyone involved in a higher level issue needs to prove their ability in lower level issues. And what you think that a person can enjoy the freedom to speak on social issues, can wear the cloth they like, can walk on the street at anytime, can travel anywhere they like. But of course, any of the above action cannot harm others, otherwise it is an abuse and maybe illegal. Is this person has freedom? What I just described is the current situation in China.

@@chaofoodies The first thing you describe seems more like a system of competence than a representative democracy. Secondly, speech is still highly regulated in China, especially that which disagrees with the views of the state. At which point, what is freedom of speech. I do appreciate any efforts of China to move toward more representation and freedom.

All the points of this young man are totally borrowed from Eric Li and Kishore Mabubani. This should not have been a TEDTalk.

11:00 This is misleading! In western countries, if it's an isolated place or in a mountain, if people live there, electricity will still go there, whether it is a publicly owned or a privately owned electricity company! I know this because I work in an engineering related field in Canada! And in the case of a privately owned company, even if it's an isolated place or in a mountain, the government will step in to pay and make sure people who live there have electricity and pay the company to build the infrastructures because it's an essential service, even if the company might be motivated by profits! You can't make a simplistic comparison like this without doing more research and say: China's government publicly owned companies are better than private companies. No, in those two cases, the government intervenes.

Regional electricity cost are higher than metro area (apparently higher cost to get electricity there) in Australia. However in China regional area has lower electricity fee so they can afford. Another example of mobile Internet and phone access as another essential service, it has better coverage in China.

Avant de croire aux journalistes , faut se rendre en Chine pour constater l'énorme amélioration de la vie, la sûreté, beaucoup moins de pauvreté ,ect... Parfois on a besoin d'un régime sévère pour reconstruire un pays, la Chine était très très très pauvre ,en 50 années le gouvernement de ce pays peut être fier. Chez nous,on a la pauvreté qui arrive à grands pas, trop d'inégalités !

He came to the states at 19. Can you goto China at 19 and do what he does ?

After watching his presentation, I'm left unconvinced. I get the feeling that he doesn't understand the dynamics behind the fear of the West on China. Plus it's untrue that the West hates China, if it does then they wouldn't run after it's market. Other than that I find his presentation lacking originality. His deep realization lacks indepth analysis of what the West fears about China. However, the West should be blamed for not being clear on whom it really has a struggle with. Is it China as a country or the ruling regime. While often obscure in Western narratives, it's the latter what they are really criticizing. It's quite unfortunate that the latter can't handle criticism, because they fear their foundation for legitimacy will be questioned. Criticism isn't hate. But since things are more complex than it seems, in terms of politics, Chinese authorities are struggling for power. It wants to topple the Western ideals for something it perceives to be better. But question is, is it really better?

Really? In summary, the fear of the West on China is that China will be economically and militarily stronger than the west, particularly stronger than the US regime. All the claims about political ideology differences, system of government differences and the other differences are all false flags and disinformation. The west and the US had no problem with a China that was very much more communist than it is today when they decided to make "friends" on mutual interest basis. They didn't set the condition that China must become a "democracy" 30 or 40 years down the road. So why the type of rhetoric nowadays? It's all about the strengths of the current and future Chinese economy, technological advancements and consequently the rising strength of the chinese military. And that the US regime see as an unacceptable threat to its current dominance and hegemony. How a typical school yard bully sees the arrival of a new boy with even more impressive abs.

Actually the theory is increase the middle class through wealth creation via open market system or liberal markets, sooner or later the middle class will clamor for Democracy. In all honesty, it failed because the regime did embrace market principles and in doing so it became the ultimate beneficiary. The West has no problem China is getting prosperous and wealthy, did not Clinton urged the WTO to accept China as a member? What the West failed to anticipate is that China's ruling regime used the world economy and the democratic system of the West against the West. You may flag ideological differences, political system differences as false flags, irrelevant, or just disinformation. But it remains a fact that it is what make China unpalatable not only to the West but to a number of Asian countries. China is real becoming the bully it wants to topple. China going out for revenge due to century long humiliation is the real unhealthy narrative and propaganda that's spoiling the image of China. If China can rise peacefully with democratic principles, the world would have embraced China more willingly. The West in fact loves competition, but China is way beyond just in for competition; China dreams of subjugating the world with its worldview. I find it Ironic because even communism is a Western idea. So you see, China really lacks originality. Even at its core, it but a product of the world it wishes to subjugate.
