- Featuring: Paul Tiffany, PhD 83, Senior Lecturer, Haas School of Business
This session will first briefly review the remarkable rise of the Chinese economy from the Mao-inspired revolution in the mid-20th century to the present day. Tiffany will explore how that transformation shaped the current perspectives of the Chinese leadership towards economic priorities, growth, and relations with off-shore business entities and institutions of other nations. He will then focus on the prospects for future political-economic relations between the PRC and the U.S. as the "American Century" continues what appears to be an unrelenting contraction. Attendees will be challenged to consider how the many benefits of "doing business with China" for American firms must be balanced against the ultimate ends and goals of that nation as they relate to the value proposition of the U.S. and its own ambitions in the coming decades.
Top notch perspective and delivery. I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy enjoyed this. I wish there were more of his lectures. Only one other video of him speaking on youtube.
Cant we all just live in peace? Economics will be the end of wars if you allow that to happen.
Want unicorns with that.
Great lecture.
This is a professor who knows a lot about China. Not those youtubers who "knows a lot about China".
You heard this from a Chinese.
You don`t know what you are talking.

But what he didn't tell you is Mao and his genocidal rain was sponsored by the west thru the CFR's agents and out of that China was made into cheep slave labor for the CFR's corporate interests.
Knows a lot about China, yes. But missed the pulse of China.
And you seem to believe everything
I am thinking that China is growing so fast because it is catching up to other developed nations, China is riding a slip stream of innovation that has been formed by the West, Japan and South Korea.
When China catches up they will have to push and innovate in ways that have never been imagined before, possibly slowing to around the growth rates of the rest of the world.
An professor who mixed facts, fictions, myths, bias, contempt and predudice together in a talk revealed how little he truly understands China. What a shame.
The lecturer looks a bit like Jimmy Carter in his younger days.

I like Dandan noodles and Mapo tofu
wtf man? How did you know these stuff?
From China view it never start at all. China don't have a mission to change USA political system and it is not in China interest to interfere in how others rules thier country like USA did.
You are right that China depends on exports. Now they are shifting to internal consumption which is not so effective. But the Chinese are opening up the 2 silk roads. Can I say that the US is putting obstacles all the way? All the fuss are excuses, human rights, freedom of navigation, China threat, allies security...
The very basic is that the Wests enjoy a better life than the rest. They got better housing, better food and clothing, better......, and shorter working hours. How could they do this? Previously, industrialization and colonialism. Now, the technical advances and innovations. Can I say, it is the pace of technical advances and innovations not catching up as the rest of the world are on the rise to industrialize. The Wests (US in particular) is suppressing the rest to keep its own position. The US is strong and powerful they can arm-twist everyone. But is this the correct approach, and abide to the sporting spirit of the Wests. Or that whatever values the Wests advocated are just bull when comes to conflict of interest.
There are some considerations here. China is not subservient to US as the Japanese and German do. China is weaker party but strong enough to keep above water. The US is blatantly provoking, regardless the consequences. The US is a warmonger.
What if the Chinese survive this round of US distraction? What will be the scenario? China might be the number one in economy. But most probably China is still far behind in military. The US is still number one in military power, this is quite certain, but not necessary the number 2 in economy, with the many developing countries catching up, India, Brazil, Indonesia, etc. By then, the US got to take on the rest, besides China.
The US are too enthusiastic in advocating it values and what not (with ulterior motives?). The US are not willing to take up the challenge to rectify its own course of actions. One pertinent question, putting aside the military power, can the US overhaul its own economy complexes and be able to regain its economic supremacy? Or that the US must position its military to regain its formal glory.
Just see what Obama did. He cut the budget, pull back the soldiers, revive the manufacturing, ... But he cannot be consistent with the warfaring sector in the US. Now looks like he got to spent more, mainly the military, and not surprise, soldiers got to send out again. Why? China threat? Believe me, China is no where to compare. But China has got a couple of those babies, and she is able to lob them over. The US is just wasting time, energy and resources.
Agreed, timing is important factor. China got in just the right time. For the US, when is the timing to recoup? Wait till another three four running pass you?
+Oh Man Jing Only an authoritarian government can help the rich to exploit the poor, a democratic government can't
+Love Nature Bullshit, and i live in a democratic country. no one give a shit about values of any kind and it's all about manipulate imbeciles. the best thing for china is to improve their military so they can nuke the hell out of your country if you try something stupid.
Comprehensive and fair painting of China, except some black lashes that is not necessary, which make this a little commercial like.
Some of these values of the Wests...... I think many of these values are good and being slowly adopted by the Chinese. But the Wests cannot accept some that the Chinese thought not so good and refuse to adopt. Are the Wests necessary 100% right?
Tian-an-men. I think it is political rather than economic. At that time, the economy in China was just taking place. The job factor should not be the prominent one. The ideal for democracy and freedom filled the heads of the youngsters. Killing is wrong, but
when it comes to overthrowing of government, we have yet to find one such situation that turns out smooth. BTW, looking at the recent incidences in Ukraine, Libya, Iraq, and etc. I suspect the Wests did play a part. The Chinese media take fast and efficient actions, the Western media take better and silencing actions.
Currency is not an easy topic. Why the Japanese yen is 100 to 1 US dollar? The exchange rate is supposed to be flexible, yet many countries at crisis hours always intervene, in fact this day all the major Western countries do this. Why? I offer to suggest, whenever there is instability/changes in the economic activities that affect a country, the country would take action to protect its interest. The question here is. the US seems to be forcing its way onto others, like Japan, Germany to US advantage.
Do not watch the documentaries that were filmed by the Western, especially American media in the 90s. Because that is the reason Soviet Union broke down into pieces. That is the product of the cold war. Soviet people just watched too much TV soaps. Judge from historic, objective perspective, instead of judging based on the 'facts' from you country's trusted media like NYTimes, which obviously favors HC in a maniac way and lost track of beloved 'Wall Builder'.
Mao was a Yale man,
...damn, i m the child who was sent out of the country, by myself though...
1. China is interested in global domination, although they will work with other nations for their benefit, but ultimately they want to control for themselves
2. Russia and the US are not on the best terms, which will help them to side with China in any major event
3. China and Russia do not have enough powerful allies to conquer the US and its allies, although many weaker nations, such as Korea, Middle East, and other nations will join them, but they will have little support to provide. The US, Israel, and Europe alone could wipe out any enemy against them, and they have more allies than this, to make any war against them a failure, but it would be bloody in nature if China and Russia was to fight against them.
4. World War 3 will be established to setup the major future superpower, mainly who will hold the reserve currency status, which will most likely be the US or Europe as the main superpower after this war, if it happens.
+KevZen2000 If it comes to total war between superpowers, regardless of the winner it would likely end in nuclear holocaust. Starting WWIII is not a smart move. I don't think anyone's going to be trying to conquer any nuclear capable countries.
Russia would never side with China. They aren't that dumb. US and Russia worked together in WWII as allies. Never forget that!
BRING IN THE RUSSIAN WOMEN.
I'd say many lies and misinformation in this talk
Funny how the title states "the US" and how the US liket to relate to the world as the US. No, it's actually not funny. I'm so tired of imperialism, in all it's shapes and forms.
The contempt and condescension towards China is just seething nonstop from this man. Lots of misinformation, misunderstanding, I doubt this man barely did one hour research on the history of China. As a student at berkeley, Im absolutely appalled and disgusted.
templardna I totally agree with you about the contempt and condescension.This guy is not a friend of China, as he himself indirectly acknowledged. He actually missed the most important point in my view: China could be in far worse shape, economically and politically, if ruled by democracy, because China is not ready for democracy. We know very well democracy is not the best form of government for any country. We can look at Iraq as a good example. The US was too naive to believe that democracy applies everywhere. This is of course not true. We have another example of Singapore, that a benign form of totalitarianism, with a competent leadership, actually worked far better for a very diverse and complicated society.
I agree he does not really understand Chinese people and the Chinese society.
+MrWowfire Just a simple comparison of Russia which adopts democracy and rapid market reform after cold war and China which adhere to socialism and market economy.
+MrWowfire Ya, you are right. China is not ready for democracy. May be democracy might appear in other forms in China. Now that communism is more or less vanished, (CCP still exist, but China is far from the formal communism.) what is democracy? Except the one-party politic, China is almost 100% capitalist. Now the challenge to the Wests is that one-party system looks like more efficient than the election system. Didn't the Wests notice this? Or they choose to ignore. If they were to put some effort in r/d on the one party system, they may come out with something of value to the world. Your examples are excellent, you have put the right thing right. I wanted to say the same thing, but I am not that sharp.
On the spot

Not very insightful, full of numbers and stats that anyone can get from reading the news....
