I agree 100 percent with your video. Ultimately, China's spectacular success over the last four decades boils down to one thing: *good governance.* China has a very capable and intelligent leadership. China has a very effective model of democracy, much different from the West's liberal model. China produced good long-term policies. They were farsighted and wise. These policies: - focused on education and infrastructure - avoided wasting money on warfare - prioritized international trade - emphasized diplomacy and respect with other nations
Actual Democracy is long dead. It's just a camouflage for a handful of super powerful & rich that actually controls the country. Just ask any layman on the street if the Government is working for your benefit or otherwise.
For about 2000 years China with its products and inventions had been contributing greatly and importantly to the whole world, until the British and Americans destroyed it from the mid 1800s to 1949. Qing Dynasty Manchurians were also bad to China by suppressing Chinese developments and advancement.
There is only one criterion for distinguishing between good and bad, and that is whether the country is progressing and people's lives are improving. It doesn't matter what your name is!
As long as the government look after their citizens and improve economy , unlike those so called democratic states behave like warmongers create chaos around the globe While their people are starving and infrastructure are crumbling
china got rich & powerful via luck, hardwork, right timing & able to see around the corner where others can not... bravo china on your # 1 ranking on this planet. with much love and respect from middle east, new zealand & italy!
Xi is a man of vision. What make him great because of experience of the poor. He is strong inside and humble, doing more than talking. Let him stay as long as he is fit. China timing is rising but the West is falling.
I grew up in the era of China’s poverty! I remembered the days of humiliation! I am now over 91 years old. I am proud of China’s rise and prosperity! Thanks to President Xi Jinping. Chinese all over the world can be proud of their heritage and country! Why can’t the West respect and cooperate with China to build a safe peaceful and better world?
One important thing is Chinese language, the most stable ancient language in the world, not a single word added from its invention around 2000 years ago. Once remembered 3000 words, you can read 99% articles, not only general ones, but any specialty articles. Not like English you need to remember all the terminology to understand any specialty. That means a high school student can read any professional articles without problem where it is impossible for English. The existing words covers past, present and future anything without increase a single word.
This help me understand China better. I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zheng He came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not buy looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China. -Zeis Siez
Well, that was quite an essay! And I must say I can't disagree with most of it. Except I am a little suspicious of the CCP's ambitions in the South China Sea - as are Vietnam and the Philippines. On the other hand, it's understandable, given the US attempts to hem China in by the increased presence of military bases in the region. These tensions are only going to increase, I fear, and it's blatantly obvious that the US would love to trigger some level of military engagement, which is the dumbest thing it could ever do, but senile Biden and his administration are all hawks, hence the massive arms sales and support to Ukraine and Israel. Would the world be better off with Trump? Possibly not, though there were no major conflicts during his previous tenure. He doesn't appear to be a globalist, either. It's his domestic policies that spark alarms, at least for Americans. US global expansion began seriously in 1898 with the annexation of Hawaii and the purchase of the Philippines, and acquisition of Puerto Rico that same year followed by Guam and Eastern Samoa in 1899. It must have been addictive, since other territories followed but it was ultimately business opportunities that became the real incentive and means of control, hence their current panic at seeing all that global wealth at risk of disappearing or at least being severely curtailed. Empirical ambitions come and go; and as far as the US goes, it may have another twenty or thirty years left in it before it becomes just another country vying for trade agreements, leaving its hegemony by the wayside.
@@rexharrison6827 The South China Sea was originally China's traditional fishing ground, and the Chinese Navy also delineated the baseline of its territorial waters in 1945 aboard three U.S. Navy warships. Note: For hundreds of years, the Philippines has been a colony of Spain, the United States and other colonial powers, and the colonisers never extended the Philippines' territory into the South China Sea, otherwise how could the Chinese Navy have been able to demarcate the baselines of its territorial waters on board the warships of the United States Navy? The Philippines' territorial claims to the South China Sea come from the 1970s, they came late to the game and the South China Sea has nothing to do with them in history or reality. Everything the colonial Philippines does is dictated by its master, the United States.
China seems to thrive under a technocratic, meritocratic top-down government. It is not our place to tell them they are wrong when they have been so successful turning around 300 years of stagnation in just 40 years.
That's why China will not pursue a military dominance approach as it has too much to lose making enemies. But when it comes to sovereign Chinese territories, China will remain steadfast and will never negotiate or compromise
The problem is it IS NOT your sovereign territory it belongs to all those other countries NOT china. The Philippines called the allies off of china Get Out.
@mobyduck6729 just read up on the potsdam agreement of 1945 and it will surprise you more. The allies, namely US, UK, soviet Union all agreed the South China Sea islands belongs to China, and Taiwan would be returned to China from Japan
While you pointed out according to Chinese wisdom that education is the key to China's growth yet did little to reinforce that theme. China graduates over two times more college grads than the US and 40% of those grads are STEM majors. China graduates eight times more STEM students than does the US. Further, Russia with less than half the population of the US, graduates as many STEM students as does the US. Because of this educated manpower resource, China will surpass the US in the technology sector. The US, instead of collaborating and taking advantage of that fact, chooses to sanction and pose restrictions to hinder China's growth. It will lose. American politicians like Biden talk big on how the US will beat China in the tech race by throwing money at it. That, by itself, will end up poorly as there are not enough tech graduates to implement the funding. And, for that matter, the restrictions imposed on China in technology are having a boomerang effect and causing more harm to US tech companies than to China. In fact, these restrictions are only making China stronger.
STEM students are important, but should not underestimate other professions. In Western world, more and more want to enter university. Diploma is now saturated. And nobody wants to take labor work (even skilled ones, e.g. electrician). China is correct in using Gaokao to put a brake on "everyone wants to enter university".
@@oceanwave4502 The Gaokao is there to pick the best students for the limited space in the best universities. The problem today in China is they lump together graduates from trade schools with universities and the students that are unemployed are mostly from the trade schools. The reason why they want to enter a university is because of higher pay. Many want a government job. American universities are unaffordable to American students and colleges like Chinese students because they pay full tuitions. Those Chinese families that can afford it send their kids to the US to get a degree because it is easier to get in vs China. It gives the family prestige to brag their child is studying abroad. It matters little because most of these rich kids will work in their family's business.
Only a way America still win is using foreign Human Resources, and America already doing this. America somehow held on by this way, but this is causing serious fall of right to participate important parts of society for domestic American nationals. However, this trend is not so different in China and such ultra-meritocracy destroying ordinary people all over the world. This serious side effect is appearing also in China. I think a large nation that succeeded to reconstruct a nation state will win. Majority of people are really exhausted by globalization and ultra-meritocracy.
Some are intelligent but the crucial thing is that they are more willing to work hard to achieve their goals. But being humble I think only a small minority are truly humble. They are a rare gem these days if you ask me.
@@grounddove Because Chinese people are quite "arrogant". Even decades ago when China was not very rich, Chinese public opinion was comparing itself with the world's number one country and criticizing its own government.
All Han ethnic nations in many different regimes are prosperous; like Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macua, China, oversea Chinese. So political system is not the issue but something else in common among ethnic Han. According to English scholar, high end of value chain depends on highly competent investors and engineers which are determined by mental ability. Without those mental ability, it is impossible to operate mentally demanding engineer work for high end of sophisticated technologies or investment decisions. Running successful big business is extremely complicated and mentally challenging. Sophisticated big businesses are at the top of food chain with the smartest people able to run.
These are the groups pushing for war with China. For them, China must be stopped at all cost 1. Neocons 2. Zionists 3. Protestant Evangelicals 4. Western Media (some) 5. "America First" Think Tanks 6. Military Industrial Suppliers
Thank You President Xi , you have made Communist China PRC the most beautiful country & Bert country in this world . but you need the PLA to protect the Chinese People ! Thank You you are magnificent !

The analysis is only a skin deep with the appreciation limited to the western education. One important feature of China is its 5000 years culture which could be grossly simplified by saying it has Confucius - or ancestorial teaching refined and condensed over thousands of years. That culture unifies the thinking of Chinese, makes them behave orderly in a coherent society and to aspire the Chinese people to put their interest of the community (or country) before the individuals'. Many people regard President Xi a great leader who clearly is one. However I would say most classically educated Chinese will act 90% like Xi because they all believe in a way to meet the approval of their ancestors or the Confucius way. With that Chinese could never invade a foreign land, slaughter the indigenous natives and establish another new country there. Confucius teaching compel the Chinese to share future with everyone and not act as a hegemon. When US invented the Covid vaccines it declared outsiders could only get American vaccines after all the Americans had been vaccinated and there were spares left. Xi on the other hand pledged Chinese vaccines would be shared because to do the American way would be opposing Confucius. Another important feature of China is its people may act uniformly and coherently but they all have good mind individually. I offer the International Math Olympiad (IMO) competition as a proof. Math is a subject that forces the learner to use the mind and to think for solving a solution. China was under more than 20 years economic blockade by the US. It was not recognised as a sovereign country until 1971 when the world majority overturned US in the UN with resolution to replace the US-back Taiwan with mainland as the legal representative of the Chinese people. Thus China was only able to join IMO after 1985. Since 1985 US has won the IMO championship 6 times but China took the gold 24 times. This proves China is strong in math decades before it rises up. However in the 6-member IMO team there are Chinese names in the US team. The numbers of Chinese names in the 6 times US scored gold medal are 1986(0), 1994(1), 2015(2), 2016(3), 2018(4) and 2018(5). In 2023 China won again with US as the second runner-up but all six US team members have Chinese names! The Chinese name in US team may come from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries in South East Asia and their common denominator is Confucius influence. China is a country famous for making goods affordable to the masses. Confucius is the person who pioneered making education affordable to everybody in China. Thus few so call China experts could get China right until they have studied Confucius teaching.
You indeed have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, which emphasizes dedication to collective interests rather than personal gains. In this culture, serving others means others will serve you in return. Only by uniting together can we achieve great things, foster social harmony, and jointly resist the invasion of external enemies. The western culture of freedom, however, is perceived as selfish in Chinese culture, focusing solely on individual interests while neglecting the interests of others. This cannot be considered as freedom and democracy; rather, it is akin to a barbaric animal culture.
This is indeed a problem. Solving this problem requires the ultra-high education level and broad thinking ability of all Australians, as well as media and politicians who wholeheartedly care about the welfare of the Australian people rather than the United States. Wait, it seems that implementing this solution is more difficult. In short, who is to blame for the idiot politicians elected by the voters?
It is great leadership with vision and strong resolve to succeed.... that's what China has. And currently, as China faced massive challenges especially smearing and propaganda including trade and technological wars etc from hegemonic USA and NATO, China is so fortunate to have President Xi Jinping leading the country to become the largest economy and a global superpower.
My two cents on how China got its act together so quickly: a reformed Confucian ethic combined with a pragmatic socialism. Even without the socialism, the Confucian ethic also powered Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan’s development.
Japan, however, are not influenced by Confucius ethnics. They don't think it is compatible with their bushido spirit. That is why Japan in history always have the ambition of conquering others. China, otoh, adopted Confucianist principles in their civil service system which helps mitigate their ambitions of expansionism
@@user-nq2sw6sg8q See online the Stanford Dictionary of Philosophy's entry on Japanese Confucian Philosophy, which even has a subsection on Confucianism in Modern Japan. Oh yes, Confucianism has influenced Japan in a major way. If the Japanese also espouse Bushido, then this would not be the first time that Confucianism was combined with a different belief system - in fact, this has happened several times before with Buddhism, Taoism, etc.
@@psyberking I am talking about in general. Japanese, since history don't practice Confucianism because this is reflected in the history. China Confucianism emphasised very strongly on scholars, elites and respect of order which means the highest hierarchy system is the Emperor. He held the mandate of heaven. Farmers are among the highest in the hierarchy too . During peacetime, they will till the land. During war, they will be enlisted as soldiers to fight the enemy. In Japan, it is completely opposite. Warrior class aka Samurai are held in the highest esteem. The Emperor held little power. It is Shogun or samurai warriors who run the affairs in the country. Confucianism which has a kind of meekness as 'being a gentleman' is the highest achievement. Samurai has their own code of honour but it has certain aspects similar to Confucianism but there are also differences like Confucianist policies are inward looking while Samurais always expand their territories. But Chan or Zen Buddhism influenced Japan greatly too. Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, Samurai code of honour share many similarities as well ad they emphasise on improvement of oneself. So to say Japan adopted Confucianist ethnics is not really the case as Japan had their own way of philosophical thoughts which share similarities.
@@user-nq2sw6sg8q So Japan adopted Confucian values inconsistently, selecting what it liked, say the work ethic part, and throwing out what it didn't like, say the benevolence/meekness part. Same in China, where Confucian teachings were distorted and co-opted by ruling dynasties and groups for their political agenda - albeit more consistently than in Japan. And btw, the same is true with Christianity in the West, where Christ is often paid lip service only on Sunday, and Social Darwinism is adopted for the rest of the week. But none of the above inconsistencies show that Confucianism did not influence Japan and China in a major way, or that Christianity did not influence the West. For most people, contradictions are not an impediment to belief.
@@psyberking Yes, but having good work ethics doesn't mean it is Confucianism exclusive rights. German ppl, as a whole, are very hardworking too. But they certainly knows very little about Confucius teachings. 😊
If it were only about labor cost, Sub-Saharan Africa would leave China in the dust. China is politically very stable as well as industrially mature, so why not make stuff there? Once the SSA countries have political and economic stability, they too will be able to industrialize and rise to the same level economically as the richest Western countries.
Wise visionary leadership and competent people focused care collective governance will bless the nation people with progress prosperity happiness security safety. It’s culture civilisation is based the values wisdom of Confucius Laozi Bhagwan Gautam Buddha. Well done China 👍♥️🇨🇳
Another very important point is the collective culture. They emphasize collective interests. I saw a very interesting video a few days ago. An American woman gave money to a Chinese child who was helping his mother deliver food. She told him that he could use the money to buy toys. The child refused. He said that the money could help their whole family and he couldn't keep it all to himself. The woman was so surprised.
China invited outside investment, technology, and incentives to start doing business in China. Otherwise, China would not be China today. They don't beleive in technology at first until Google challenge their best crosschecker champion to play against the computer (AI) back in the 80's. After the loss, only then China was seriouly interested in technolgy since. Google made a believer out of China.
Unfortunately it's the same in India as well. Every 2 years out of 5 years is dedicated for winning elections. We have no visionary leaders only dividers 😢
@4:00 The black cat white cat saying is comparing socialism and capitalism, that whichever solves the problem, is a good solution, be it improving the economy or the lives of the people. This is representative of the pragmatic culture of Chinese in general. We are less stuck with ideological pursuits or beliefs but concerned with whatever tool gets the job done!
Chinese don't suffer from inferiority complex, poor self esteem, are resilient, determined, self reliant and value each other and respect the culture of others. Their self confidence has brought them where they are. Others, especially Africa, can learn from China.
To me, the best way to describe China's approach in governance is Chinese Socialism State Capitalism China is socialist, but they have a Chinese brand of socialism. They're not going to do dum bass sht like subsizing drug needles or paying ppl to he jobless like the west. Instead their brand of socialism focuses on things like poverty alleviation, education accessibility, and food security They also harness the strength of capitalism, but on a state level, meaning enterprises and corporations are always subservient to the state and not the other way around like in the west. In China you can grow rich, but you cannot put your personal interest above that of the nation Ma Yun is a textbook example, someone who fell from grace because his Ant Group policies would have led to the creation of a credit bubble that would eventually lead to disaster for the country
The Chinese leaders spend enormous time and energy on how to develop the country and lifting the livelihood of their people . The American leaders spend all their time deciding when to print more money.
Totally agreed with you. But you left out one category, that is, " If you are not planning for anything, wait under the trees for the fruits to drop." In certain country there are many like this. If they cannot get the fruits, they blame on others. They just wait for handouts and not willing to work hard for it. Their shortcomings and lack of confidence in themselves are due to their laziness and low mentality. Not only they are not willing to educate themselves well by exploring other education systems for lifetime planning but they want others to follow them and want to stop other education systems and be like them. These are the type of people fall into this category.
China's development is based on good governance, and policies are jointly formulated and implemented by technocrats, engineers, scientists, and sociologists based on reality, rather than listening to the nonsense of performing stars.
China actually has the biggest economy since 1000 BC. It was only in the beginning of the 19th century that China was humiliated, attacked, and plundered by the Anglo Saxons but China has made a comeback and is stronger than ever.
@@johndorilag4129 If you study any legitimate sources, you would find that from ancient time to mediaeval time, india had the largest economy in the world. Just search country GDP ranking from 1 AD on CZcams. The thing about Chinese economy is that it is more resilient and consistent over centuries.
Chinese leaders need to be committed to governing the country from a young age, growing slowly from junior, to intermediate, to senior.They have accumulated a wealth of management experience over a long period of time.The leader of the United States, no matter who he is, just needs to get votes, without any consideration of whether he has experience, ability or executive power.
One essential quality is the Chinese ethic of hard work to meet targets. Employing Chinese workers is value for money for the employer. Not like Ali baba workers.
learn the good, discard the bad. that's how you can progress. it's a very basic chinese philosophy and life attitude. a lot of people do not know that dxp went to japan to seek to learn japanese management systems etc with an open heart without ego or vengeance. that's the ultimate reason why china could progress rapidly; being pragmatic and farsighted without prejudice.
Dispite humanitarian breeches in the past, China is making friends and prospers when the world prospers. The US seems to thrive on chaos and war. Thankfully it will fall soon, historically speaking. I just hope the US does not wage another world war before it falls. I'm not sad at the idea of a world without the US because it causes suffering throughout the world while shouting about the virtues of a republic they stopped being long ago. "Let us bring you law", while ignoring international laws... because they can. "We'll protect the world from those who want to unjustly take their land", while they sit on an empire built on lands stolen from the indigenous peoples there.
BRAVO CHINA. MORE PRESSURE MORE STRONGER. SHINING LIKE A DIAMOND ONLY CHINA CAN LEAD AND BRING STABILITY AND BALLANCE OF POWER OF THE WORLD TO STOP HYPOCRISY AND WARMONGERING MINDSET
The article only discusses China's economic policies but misses a core aspect: the development of China's economy serves ordinary people. There are two other important initiatives not mentioned in the article: 1. Large-scale universal education. Many people in China's new generation have received higher education, and many have become scientists and engineers. 2. Large-scale public infrastructure construction. China's public infrastructure has greatly facilitated logistics and ordinary people's travel, reducing logistics costs in industrial development and increasing the mobility of the population.
Under Deng, he reduced the Chinese Armies, PLA from over 5 millions soldiers to less than 1.5 millions soldiers. At the same time, China resolved her long border disputes with Russia so that less money be spent on unproductive militaries. These Money saved went straight to investments within China.

.... India doesn't like foreign companies taking their earnings (not wild profit, mind you) out of India. Sort of like, 'what happens in India, stays in India' LOL!
As a Chinese person, I have to say that the author has not seen the core of China's success. China's success is similar to the success of the United States in the internet revolution. Just as the technology industry in the United States successfully utilized government investment left over from the Cold War to establish the internet and its derivative technologies, China's reform and opening up actually successfully utilized the massive basic investment in education by the Chinese government during the literacy movement, which resulted in China having the largest population of literate people at that time as a pool of potential workers to take on the transfer of manufacturing. The reason why the Western world now feels weak in competition with China is that there is no equivalent infrastructure in China, which has led to the inability for an innovative private economic model to grow.
Thank you for the informative video, extremelypp helpful. I am grateful for the long term thinking of the leadership teams over the years leading the country moving forward. The strategic shift was not an easy move, which requires years of hard work and perseverance. Credits to all the leaders involved and to all the people in China to make Socialism with Chinese Characteristics a reality! We need to keep up the good work in generations to come!
Chinese emphases that each generation has their roles and responsibilities, relay to take up the duties by young generation so ascertained country’s advancement.
This is an amazing video in being able to explain China’s rise from a backwater country to what she is today, being able to lead in many industries especially “leading-edge” industries like EVs, solar panels, advanced chip manufacturing. China favours economic/trade influence over military (unlike the other superpower with multiple military bases). Kudos to the China’s political leadership.

I think my high school history textbook is better written than my AP world history materials. The materialistic way of interpreting history, though biased (because we can't predict the future) is easy to teach and understand.
** UPDATE (10-July-2024) ** LOL indians prime minister (modi) - has officially signed the future of indian into the hands of Russia. The USA (through Israel) has confirmed that they won't be proceeding with the IMEC corridor - because of the blockage and disagreement to continue by UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi. Now indai begged Putin by giving everything to Russia in order for guaranteed friendship and trade. #RIPindia.
India has dignity & ability They don't need to bow down to anyone China is not all that powerful as they boast They are good at one thing _ bully neighbors
When a Chinese gathers water from a well using a bucket it is filled to the brine but when an Indian does it it’s only half filled. However, what’s more important is that the Indian insists it is fully filled.😂😂
All Modi has to do is swallow his false pride and join The Belt & Road Initiative. Then watch India economy grow rapidly. Russia does not have the same China's economic power and may never will. So, Modi is in a way, 'barking up the wrong tree'? LOL! Uncle Sam is all talk and tied to Israel. (The tail that wags the Dog)
I agree 100 percent with your video.
Ultimately, China's spectacular success over the last four decades boils down to one thing: *good governance.*
China has a very capable and intelligent leadership. China has a very effective model of democracy, much different from the West's liberal model.
China produced good long-term policies. They were farsighted and wise.
These policies:
- focused on education and infrastructure
- avoided wasting money on warfare
- prioritized international trade
- emphasized diplomacy and respect with other nations
But still there are many people mocking CCP for not having democracy. What is the democracy for? To have a good governance. Right?

Well said.
For about 2000 years China with its products and inventions had been contributing greatly and importantly to the whole world, until the British and Americans destroyed it from the mid 1800s to 1949. Qing Dynasty Manchurians were also bad to China by suppressing Chinese developments and advancement.

Being modest is an Asian virtue. It maybe true China is more powerful than almost all her adversaries but she never boasts about it.
One important thing is Chinese language, the most stable ancient language in the world, not a single word added from its invention around 2000 years ago. Once remembered 3000 words, you can read 99% articles, not only general ones, but any specialty articles. Not like English you need to remember all the terminology to understand any specialty. That means a high school student can read any professional articles without problem where it is impossible for English. The existing words covers past, present and future anything without increase a single word.
This help me understand China better.
I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zheng He came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.
When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.
Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium.
After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:
1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free.
2. Make opium legal in China.
Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.
In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone.
Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles.
Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from.
In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.
For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China.
Everything China does is negatively reported.
They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.
When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:
1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.
2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.
China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
During the pandemic,
When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.
When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.
When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
Western Media always have reasons to bash China.
Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good.
Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.
They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.
The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.
China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not buy looting the world.
I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.

Well, that was quite an essay! And I must say I can't disagree with most of it. Except I am a little suspicious of the CCP's ambitions in the South China Sea - as are Vietnam and the Philippines. On the other hand, it's understandable, given the US attempts to hem China in by the increased presence of military bases in the region.
These tensions are only going to increase, I fear, and it's blatantly obvious that the US would love to trigger some level of military engagement, which is the dumbest thing it could ever do, but senile Biden and his administration are all hawks, hence the massive arms sales and support to Ukraine and Israel. Would the world be better off with Trump? Possibly not, though there were no major conflicts during his previous tenure. He doesn't appear to be a globalist, either. It's his domestic policies that spark alarms, at least for Americans.
US global expansion began seriously in 1898 with the annexation of Hawaii and the purchase of the Philippines, and acquisition of Puerto Rico that same year followed by Guam and Eastern Samoa in 1899. It must have been addictive, since other territories followed but it was ultimately business opportunities that became the real incentive and means of control, hence their current panic at seeing all that global wealth at risk of disappearing or at least being severely curtailed. Empirical ambitions come and go; and as far as the US goes, it may have another twenty or thirty years left in it before it becomes just another country vying for trade agreements, leaving its hegemony by the wayside.
Very well said. Give an excellent historical perspective
@@rexharrison6827 The South China Sea was originally China's traditional fishing ground, and the Chinese Navy also delineated the baseline of its territorial waters in 1945 aboard three U.S. Navy warships.
Note: For hundreds of years, the Philippines has been a colony of Spain, the United States and other colonial powers, and the colonisers never extended the Philippines' territory into the South China Sea, otherwise how could the Chinese Navy have been able to demarcate the baselines of its territorial waters on board the warships of the United States Navy? The Philippines' territorial claims to the South China Sea come from the 1970s, they came late to the game and the South China Sea has nothing to do with them in history or reality. Everything the colonial Philippines does is dictated by its master, the United States.

While you pointed out according to Chinese wisdom that education is the key to China's growth yet did little to reinforce that theme. China graduates over two times more college grads than the US and 40% of those grads are STEM majors. China graduates eight times more STEM students than does the US. Further, Russia with less than half the population of the US, graduates as many STEM students as does the US.
Because of this educated manpower resource, China will surpass the US in the technology sector. The US, instead of collaborating and taking advantage of that fact, chooses to sanction and pose restrictions to hinder China's growth. It will lose.
American politicians like Biden talk big on how the US will beat China in the tech race by throwing money at it. That, by itself, will end up poorly as there are not enough tech graduates to implement the funding. And, for that matter, the restrictions imposed on China in technology are having a boomerang effect and causing more harm to US tech companies than to China. In fact, these restrictions are only making China stronger.
There's a saying, 'if you can't beat them, join them'. US is doing exactly the opposite, 'not joining them (i.e. collaborate), beat them'! LOL!
STEM students are important, but should not underestimate other professions. In Western world, more and more want to enter university. Diploma is now saturated. And nobody wants to take labor work (even skilled ones, e.g. electrician). China is correct in using Gaokao to put a brake on "everyone wants to enter university".
@@oceanwave4502 The Gaokao is there to pick the best students for the limited space in the best universities. The problem today in China is they lump together graduates from trade schools with universities and the students that are unemployed are mostly from the trade schools. The reason why they want to enter a university is because of higher pay. Many want a government job. American universities are unaffordable to American students and colleges like Chinese students because they pay full tuitions. Those Chinese families that can afford it send their kids to the US to get a degree because it is easier to get in vs China. It gives the family prestige to brag their child is studying abroad. It matters little because most of these rich kids will work in their family's business.
Only a way America still win is using foreign Human Resources, and America already doing this. America somehow held on by this way, but this is causing serious fall of right to participate important parts of society for domestic American nationals.
However, this trend is not so different in China and such ultra-meritocracy destroying ordinary people all over the world. This serious side effect is appearing also in China. I think a large nation that succeeded to reconstruct a nation state will win. Majority of people are really exhausted by globalization and ultra-meritocracy.

The analysis is only a skin deep with the appreciation limited to the western education.
One important feature of China is its 5000 years culture which could be grossly simplified by saying it has Confucius - or ancestorial teaching refined and condensed over thousands of years. That culture unifies the thinking of Chinese, makes them behave orderly in a coherent society and to aspire the Chinese people to put their interest of the community (or country) before the individuals'.
Many people regard President Xi a great leader who clearly is one. However I would say most classically educated Chinese will act 90% like Xi because they all believe in a way to meet the approval of their ancestors or the Confucius way. With that Chinese could never invade a foreign land, slaughter the indigenous natives and establish another new country there. Confucius teaching compel the Chinese to share future with everyone and not act as a hegemon. When US invented the Covid vaccines it declared outsiders could only get American vaccines after all the Americans had been vaccinated and there were spares left. Xi on the other hand pledged Chinese vaccines would be shared because to do the American way would be opposing Confucius.
Another important feature of China is its people may act uniformly and coherently but they all have good mind individually. I offer the International Math Olympiad (IMO) competition as a proof. Math is a subject that forces the learner to use the mind and to think for solving a solution. China was under more than 20 years economic blockade by the US. It was not recognised as a sovereign country until 1971 when the world majority overturned US in the UN with resolution to replace the US-back Taiwan with mainland as the legal representative of the Chinese people. Thus China was only able to join IMO after 1985. Since 1985 US has won the IMO championship 6 times but China took the gold 24 times. This proves China is strong in math decades before it rises up. However in the 6-member IMO team there are Chinese names in the US team. The numbers of Chinese names in the 6 times US scored gold medal are 1986(0), 1994(1), 2015(2), 2016(3), 2018(4) and 2018(5). In 2023 China won again with US as the second runner-up but all six US team members have Chinese names! The Chinese name in US team may come from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries in South East Asia and their common denominator is Confucius influence.
China is a country famous for making goods affordable to the masses. Confucius is the person who pioneered making education affordable to everybody in China. Thus few so call China experts could get China right until they have studied Confucius teaching.
You indeed have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, which emphasizes dedication to collective interests rather than personal gains. In this culture, serving others means others will serve you in return. Only by uniting together can we achieve great things, foster social harmony, and jointly resist the invasion of external enemies. The western culture of freedom, however, is perceived as selfish in Chinese culture, focusing solely on individual interests while neglecting the interests of others. This cannot be considered as freedom and democracy; rather, it is akin to a barbaric animal culture.
Good insights.

My two cents on how China got its act together so quickly: a reformed Confucian ethic combined with a pragmatic socialism. Even without the socialism, the Confucian ethic also powered Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan’s development.
Japan, however, are not influenced by Confucius ethnics. They don't think it is compatible with their bushido spirit. That is why Japan in history always have the ambition of conquering others. China, otoh, adopted Confucianist principles in their civil service system which helps mitigate their ambitions of expansionism
@@user-nq2sw6sg8q See online the Stanford Dictionary of Philosophy's entry on Japanese Confucian Philosophy, which even has a subsection on Confucianism in Modern Japan. Oh yes, Confucianism has influenced Japan in a major way. If the Japanese also espouse Bushido, then this would not be the first time that Confucianism was combined with a different belief system - in fact, this has happened several times before with Buddhism, Taoism, etc.
@@psyberking
I am talking about in general. Japanese, since history don't practice Confucianism because this is reflected in the history. China Confucianism emphasised very strongly on scholars, elites and respect of order which means the highest hierarchy system is the Emperor. He held the mandate of heaven. Farmers are among the highest in the hierarchy too . During peacetime, they will till the land. During war, they will be enlisted as soldiers to fight the enemy. In Japan, it is completely opposite. Warrior class aka Samurai are held in the highest esteem. The Emperor held little power. It is Shogun or samurai warriors who run the affairs in the country. Confucianism which has a kind of meekness as 'being a gentleman' is the highest achievement. Samurai has their own code of honour but it has certain aspects similar to Confucianism but there are also differences like Confucianist policies are inward looking while Samurais always expand their territories. But Chan or Zen Buddhism influenced Japan greatly too. Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, Samurai code of honour share many similarities as well ad they emphasise on improvement of oneself. So to say Japan adopted Confucianist ethnics is not really the case as Japan had their own way of philosophical thoughts which share similarities.
@@user-nq2sw6sg8q So Japan adopted Confucian values inconsistently, selecting what it liked, say the work ethic part, and throwing out what it didn't like, say the benevolence/meekness part. Same in China, where Confucian teachings were distorted and co-opted by ruling dynasties and groups for their political agenda - albeit more consistently than in Japan. And btw, the same is true with Christianity in the West, where Christ is often paid lip service only on Sunday, and Social Darwinism is adopted for the rest of the week. But none of the above inconsistencies show that Confucianism did not influence Japan and China in a major way, or that Christianity did not influence the West. For most people, contradictions are not an impediment to belief.

Yes, but having good work ethics doesn't mean it is Confucianism exclusive rights. German ppl, as a whole, are very hardworking too. But they certainly knows very little about Confucius teachings. 😊

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Ultimately, China's spectacular success over the last four decades boils down to one thing: good governance.
If it were only about labor cost, Sub-Saharan Africa would leave China in the dust. China is politically very stable as well as industrially mature, so why not make stuff there? Once the SSA countries have political and economic stability, they too will be able to industrialize and rise to the same level economically as the richest Western countries.

Wise visionary leadership and competent people focused care collective governance will bless the nation people with progress prosperity happiness security safety. It’s culture civilisation is based the values wisdom of Confucius Laozi Bhagwan Gautam Buddha. Well done China 👍♥️🇨🇳
Another very important point is the collective culture. They emphasize collective interests. I saw a very interesting video a few days ago. An American woman gave money to a Chinese child who was helping his mother deliver food. She told him that he could use the money to buy toys. The child refused. He said that the money could help their whole family and he couldn't keep it all to himself. The woman was so surprised.
It just means she loves her family,not “collective culture”
Love from Mumbai India 🇮🇳🥰 to China 🇨🇳
Great analysis
One more thing China also investing heavily on education, mostly higher education and research & development.
China invited outside investment, technology, and incentives to start doing business in China. Otherwise, China would not be China today. They don't beleive in technology at first until Google challenge their best crosschecker champion to play against the computer (AI) back in the 80's. After the loss, only then China was seriouly interested in technolgy since. Google made a believer out of China.
In usa and the west there leaders plans for there next reelection.
Four-year planning cycle. Then, if they don't win, leave the mess to the next one who won the election. And so on... and so forth.
indeed
Unfortunately it's the same in India as well. Every 2 years out of 5 years is dedicated for winning elections. We have no visionary leaders only dividers 😢

Google English translation got it completely wrong. It does not understand ancient (or classical) Chinese written language at all. What a shame.
@4:00 The black cat white cat saying is comparing socialism and capitalism, that whichever solves the problem, is a good solution, be it improving the economy or the lives of the people.
This is representative of the pragmatic culture of Chinese in general. We are less stuck with ideological pursuits or beliefs but concerned with whatever tool gets the job done!
China has invested in qualitative and quantitative development of human resources.
Chinese don't suffer from inferiority complex, poor self esteem, are resilient, determined, self reliant and value each other and respect the culture of others. Their self confidence has brought them where they are. Others, especially Africa, can learn from China.
To me, the best way to describe China's approach in governance is Chinese Socialism State Capitalism
China is socialist, but they have a Chinese brand of socialism. They're not going to do dum bass sht like subsizing drug needles or paying ppl to he jobless like the west. Instead their brand of socialism focuses on things like poverty alleviation, education accessibility, and food security
They also harness the strength of capitalism, but on a state level, meaning enterprises and corporations are always subservient to the state and not the other way around like in the west. In China you can grow rich, but you cannot put your personal interest above that of the nation
Ma Yun is a textbook example, someone who fell from grace because his Ant Group policies would have led to the creation of a credit bubble that would eventually lead to disaster for the country
Japan and Korea are similar in this respect. It's OK to be rich, but putting one's own interests above that of the state is never tolerated.
Soft power works well especially when you also have a very powerful military in hand.
May dear Mr Xi live long & healthy 🤲🏼✊🏼
Best warm wishes from 🇺🇸🕊️🌹

清醒的美国人,不受媒体影响的美国人哎🎉
The Chinese leaders spend enormous time and energy on how to develop the country and lifting the livelihood of their people . The American leaders spend all their time deciding when to print more money.
Totally agreed with you. But you left out one category, that is, " If you are not planning for anything, wait under the trees for the fruits to drop." In certain country there are many like this. If they cannot get the fruits, they blame on others. They just wait for handouts and not willing to work hard for it. Their shortcomings and lack of confidence in themselves are due to their laziness and low mentality. Not only they are not willing to educate themselves well by exploring other education systems for lifetime planning but they want others to follow them and want to stop other education systems and be like them. These are the type of people fall into this category.
China's development is based on good governance, and policies are jointly formulated and implemented by technocrats, engineers, scientists, and sociologists based on reality, rather than listening to the nonsense of performing stars.
China lead the world to prosperity, harmony and peace.
There is old saying in Chinese: Hormonies create & brings wealth.
IT IS a great succesful country
A civilization state.

The videos I have seen how china educates children to become a personality with many different skills, are very impressing.
Could you provide the links please

For forty years, China does not waste time inside or outside the country. The only principle in everyone's mind is that growth counts.
*Agree, China never waste one minute for developing. You always see new development in China. GREAT !!!*
China actually has the biggest economy since 1000 BC. It was only in the beginning of the 19th century that China was humiliated, attacked, and plundered by the Anglo Saxons but China has made a comeback and is stronger than ever.
No, research more, india had the biggest economy from the start of civilization.
@@Celestia333-d4vIt depends on which source you take it from. The size of the economy 2000 years ago is hard to quantify and is based on estimates.
@@johndorilag4129
If you study any legitimate sources, you would find that from ancient time to mediaeval time, india had the largest economy in the world. Just search country GDP ranking from 1 AD on CZcams. The thing about Chinese economy is that it is more resilient and consistent over centuries.
Chinese leaders need to be committed to governing the country from a young age, growing slowly from junior, to intermediate, to senior.They have accumulated a wealth of management experience over a long period of time.The leader of the United States, no matter who he is, just needs to get votes, without any consideration of whether he has experience, ability or executive power.
Nailed it, also race, culture and language.
One essential quality is the Chinese ethic of hard work to meet targets. Employing Chinese workers is value for money for the employer. Not like Ali baba workers.
@manchu ya, in south east asia country the company prioritize hired the chinese ethnic.
Great video with lots of relevant information
the foundation already been sow since 2000 years ago through teaching of Confucius.
Simply impressive China.
learn the good, discard the bad. that's how you can progress. it's a very basic chinese philosophy and life attitude. a lot of people do not know that dxp went to japan to seek to learn japanese management systems etc with an open heart without ego or vengeance. that's the ultimate reason why china could progress rapidly; being pragmatic and farsighted without prejudice.
In other words, it takes one year to grow a tree; ten years a forest; but a lifetime to cultivate a person .😅
Dispite humanitarian breeches in the past, China is making friends and prospers when the world prospers. The US seems to thrive on chaos and war. Thankfully it will fall soon, historically speaking. I just hope the US does not wage another world war before it falls. I'm not sad at the idea of a world without the US because it causes suffering throughout the world while shouting about the virtues of a republic they stopped being long ago. "Let us bring you law", while ignoring international laws... because they can. "We'll protect the world from those who want to unjustly take their land", while they sit on an empire built on lands stolen from the indigenous peoples there.
BRAVO CHINA.

The article only discusses China's economic policies but misses a core aspect: the development of China's economy serves ordinary people. There are two other important initiatives not mentioned in the article:
1. Large-scale universal education. Many people in China's new generation have received higher education, and many have become scientists and engineers.
2. Large-scale public infrastructure construction. China's public infrastructure has greatly facilitated logistics and ordinary people's travel, reducing logistics costs in industrial development and increasing the mobility of the population.
Very interesting and informative, Good presentation, Hats off to visionary Chinese Leaders 👌

Under Deng, he reduced the Chinese Armies, PLA from over 5 millions soldiers to less than 1.5 millions soldiers.
At the same time, China resolved her long border disputes with Russia so that less money be spent on unproductive militaries. These Money saved went straight to investments within China.

According to English scholar, high end of value chain depends on highly competent investors and engineers which are determined by mental ability. Without those mental ability, it is impossible to operate mentally demanding engineer work for high end of sophisticated technologies or investment decisions. Running successful big business is extremely complicated and mentally challenging. Sophisticated big businesses are at the top of food chain with the smartest people able to run.
You forget one point: Education. China produces about 7 millions STEM students a year.
China didn't get so well for one generation of hard working, three generations of hard working started from 1949 made it happen.

Excellent analysis on the difference in approach between China and US!
The benefit of not having a multiparty system whereby the parties focus on each other instead of what is important for the country.
CHINA: educate people science instead of politics
As a Chinese person, I have to say that the author has not seen the core of China's success. China's success is similar to the success of the United States in the internet revolution. Just as the technology industry in the United States successfully utilized government investment left over from the Cold War to establish the internet and its derivative technologies, China's reform and opening up actually successfully utilized the massive basic investment in education by the Chinese government during the literacy movement, which resulted in China having the largest population of literate people at that time as a pool of potential workers to take on the transfer of manufacturing.
The reason why the Western world now feels weak in competition with China is that there is no equivalent infrastructure in China, which has led to the inability for an innovative private economic model to grow.

Thank you for the informative video, extremelypp helpful.
I am grateful for the long term thinking of the leadership teams over the years leading the country moving forward. The strategic shift was not an easy move, which requires years of hard work and perseverance. Credits to all the leaders involved and to all the people in China to make Socialism with Chinese Characteristics a reality! We need to keep up the good work in generations to come!
It is Confucianism that unite China and enable them to be respectful to their elder and their government.These words all Chinese remember 精忠報國. 没有国哪有家
Chinese emphases that each generation has their roles and responsibilities, relay to take up the duties by young generation so ascertained country’s advancement.
This is an amazing video in being able to explain China’s rise from a backwater country to what she is today, being able to lead in many industries especially “leading-edge” industries like EVs, solar panels, advanced chip manufacturing. China favours economic/trade influence over military (unlike the other superpower with multiple military bases). Kudos to the China’s political leadership.
fair and correct ....
Only becoming an economic(tech) superpower can build and sustain military powerhouse.
Yes, absolutely. Chinese history has evidence of that. A wealthy person without security is like inventing robbers to come in and take everything.
中国取得史诗般的经济和科技发展在于中国光明正大地艰苦奋斗执政为民,西方的衰败则在于处心积虑地吸血他国颠覆他国和挑唆发动战争。这些恰恰应了上博简出土的那句孔子论诗那句名言:「诗亡隐志」(人因为怀有不可告人的祸心而不可能创造出史诗般的辉煌。无论是文化还是经济)。

** UPDATE (10-July-2024) ** LOL indians prime minister (modi) - has officially signed the future of indian into the hands of Russia. The USA (through Israel) has confirmed that they won't be proceeding with the IMEC corridor - because of the blockage and disagreement to continue by UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi. Now indai begged Putin by giving everything to Russia in order for guaranteed friendship and trade. #RIPindia.

When a Chinese gathers water from a well using a bucket it is filled to the brine but when an Indian does it it’s only half filled. However, what’s more important is that the Indian insists it is fully filled.😂😂
All Modi has to do is swallow his false pride and join The Belt & Road Initiative. Then watch India economy grow rapidly. Russia does not have the same China's economic power and may never will. So, Modi is in a way, 'barking up the wrong tree'? LOL! Uncle Sam is all talk and tied to Israel. (The tail that wags the Dog)
