- Strength, discipline and vision: this was the message from a state that has defied the odds for 70 years. China, the world's longest-surviving communist nation celebrated its achievements on a grand scale. In 1949, the per capita GDP was about $50, today it’s $10,000. But at what cost did this economic success come? Our interview guest, Victor Gao, was once the official translator for Deng Xiaoping -- China's leader from 1979 to 1997 -- and has been watching China's development from a front-row seat.

#China #70thAnniversary #VictorGao
It is beneficial for us in Asia & to the whole world. The most peaceful rising & economic progress, unlike others. 😁 You know what I mean.
peaceful rising with shows of nuclear weapon
Don't be over confident. China is built on on house of cards. It can come down crashing at any moment. Centralized planning has been shown historically to not work.
@@rafanifischer3152 What NONSENSE! Everything has historically not worked! This is some new history! Far from CARDS (paper instruments) they seem to be stressing steel and concrete, the "real economy" that Xi talks about. America is rich in paper, and goes from recession to depression, which China is NOT DOING as you can plainly see!
@@leonardpearlman4017 I like your comment "Everything has historically not worked." Except maybe outside of science it makes sense.
@@aachenmann yes，in order to Balance with those evils.
I love my country, China, keep going.
Its not necessary for China to follow western. China will follow our own path.
@John Buffalo I am 97 你是在开玩笑吗？英国难道没有被中国超越吗？中国三年的经济增量就相当于一个英国。
现在的中国就可以在各方面强奸你。
@John Buffalo I am 97 I think it is WAY too late for that! NOBODY is going to invade China now, can't you see? They are making this very clear. They are armed, organized, dug in, and there are a lot OF them! My guess is that they would oppose a return of any colonial power with real enthusiasm!
Love from Singapore. Happy National Day to China.
There is a tendency to see Chinese government as unchanging. This is because in the west the only reforms that really count are those that appear to move the country towards the western model. In fact, government has been through huge and constant reform since 1978, far greater than anything that has taken place in the US or the UK. It is inconceivable that the Chinese state could have masterminded such a huge economic transformation if it too had not been the subject of profound reform.
Hitherto it has been assumed that China, rather than western democracies, will face chronic problems of governance. We have become deeply ahistorical about western democracy, viewing it as some kind of eternal and ideal solution to the problem of governance. Yet it is clear that American democracy has become increasingly dysfunctional, short-term, polarised and subject to capture by vested interests, in particular the 1 per cent.
Tim Jack well said. You are a wise man
Western democracies are not so much captured by just the "1%". The fundamental basis of modern (Anglo) Western democracies includes large culturally fragmented groupings that are not invested in the success of that country, this through voting blocs inevitably encourages political polarisation, paralysis and stagnation. You could argue that the 1% somehow play that "for cheap labour" but that is a nonesense in the anglosphere, where cheap labour is not really required "with everything made in China" anyway.
Tell this to indians. ...
Rather naive thinking. There are millions of people in China who remember the cultural revolution and the millions of deaths. What equivalence is there of that in the US?
@@rafanifischer3152 that is deeply true. But that generation is subsiding now. Many older folks are wistful for the good part of the 60's and 70's (community cohesion - everyone is like extended family) without all the bad parts...failed 5 year plans, starvation...etc.
If Communism & Capitalism clubbed together in the Chinese way there is no limit for economic growth.
America - “Make America Great Again”
China - *🤣😂🤣😂😂* Good luck with that.

Oh, yeah! Endless wars, in some cases with people who are trying to be our friends! War with made-up enemies, garrisoning the world. That's a big one. Did we VOTE for that?
I am amused by this host, why we need a political opposition to argue over and over again without doing anything?

Western people loves to argue rather than solve problems. Let them keep their democracy and continue to fight among themselves while China and rest of Asia continues to progress.
Blanik L-13 funny, German never have relate to the ancient Greece culture and just wanted to find something to defeat the pope then they claimed they could find their source from Ancient Greek ...
A little correction. Deng Xiaopeng was never President of the PRC. His status as Paramount Leader was an unofficial one.
Happy Birthday PRC! May you continue to get stronger!
the biggest reasn is china just build not bumb all over the world,i think

@Theonlyonestanding i dont think so.
at least,they have no troops,no base in any country
@Theonlyonestanding god jesus take your brain and eyes
Congratulations to the people and the government of China. I hope China will not do what other so-called big powers did to the weaker countries.
Correction. The 1989 incident is not about pro-democracy. It’s to oppose the issue of corruption in the government. The students tried to preserve the socialism mechanism and sang Internationale.
His god is powerful. Only 70 years have passed From a poor country to a great power.
God?What is god?You mean Jesus or others?
Chinese people dont believe any God.Who they believe is themselves and what they believe is hard working
Jesus is not a god.
Can you look at the history of Western developed countries, how many have not developed themselves by war and plunder? Even slaughter the aborigines. Let's take a look at China. One depends entirely on the hard work of the people themselves to develop themselves without relying on war and plunder. The West always feels that it is the best nation on earth. But I don’t know that it only started in the last few hundred years. In history, China has been leading the world for thousands of years. From World War I and World War II to the Cold War. It can be seen that China is the most peaceful country among the big powers. Historically, China built the Great Wall not to invade colonial countries, but to protect themselves. The same is true of the current military power. Most of the poor Westerners have been brainwashed and controlled by media controlled by interest groups. Their own people have been looting and colonizing everywhere, and today they have taught others how to protect human rights. What a big irony this is!
3:16 Nice Interview. While ask further clarifying questions rarely yield results with politicians, they are still the right thing to do.
china no.1!
Taiwan no. 1!
The West worst nightmare.
You mean America’s nightmare
If the world was united without political differences, what would it look like?
1984 George Orwell
whites would have no room.
@David Motyka China is willing to seek common interest while tolerating the differences between China and other countries , that's the reason why they can make friends ALL AROUND THE WORLD
Pretty much like what you're seeing here, I suppose. Maybe something like the CPPCC, the World Political Consultative Conference? Or just a more meaningful and working UN. Teach everyone Esperanto or something, institute a world minimum wage, and watch history begin! I think the Chinese are showing the way, it might take a few generations (or one BIG war) for people to want to emulate and join this. If you recall the novel Brave New World? This seems to be how the world got organized, and the World Controllers TOOK control, was after a big destructive war. "Everybody's Happy Now" is something they routinely say in that future, and they mean it! It's just a story of course. I think China is headed that way.
@@TrollSlayerLogan We have THAT now!
One of the biggest jokes! In order to launch the Kosovo war against the euro, the United States deployed military bases in Europe, controlled European countries, decomposed French telecommunications companies, sanctioned Airbus, and provoked relations between EU countries to prevent Europe from becoming strong. The United States only regards European countries as watchdogs, but the EU has to pay for its own troops. Who saw the watchdog himself buying dog food? European countries really think that the United States and Russia will launch a nuclear war? wake up! The diplomat’s wife can escape to the country by driving a dead person. How can human rights be said? These European countries are helping the United States to scream and ask China to respect the human rights of Hong Kong. However, it is not seen how the police in the Western countries treated the violence of the demonstrators. If there is no human rights, can these demonstrators harm the armed police? Sometimes we really doubt the IQ of Westerners. Have you been brainwashed by the media? Are journalists and lawyers and students born to be God? They must not make mistakes? There must be no interest to drive? Poor gang of mentally handicapped.
Ideology and objectivity are incompatible with each other in one's mind. The comments show me that.
What Chinese done no other countries can do it they are heard working people western countries and Indian are not happy about chinese a rising

God bless China.

Why bother to interview Orof. Tsang, he's always negative on China, which is unremarkable seeing that he is/was a Hong Konger.
The myth of stability was blown up too many times in history - now days people reaction can be much faster. Chinese are smart, organized, educated and they deserve a better treatment by their own government (actually we all do). Those old guys might be out of trend very soon.
in a lot of sectors they are the largest how about the food safety 🧐
It is double standard to keep mentioning China's membership in WTO.
Why the West expect China to perform special duties for WTO membership?
Other communist countries like Cuba and Vietnam are in WTO as well. Why the West keep talking about China's WTO while never mentions about Cuba and Vietnam?
Is this intended? Can't u find someone who speak english... as a professional media. U just wants to push all faults to India, 😂

What is wrong about seeing things in big pictures. China is not perfect, but they know what problems and shortcomings they have. They just don't the West 1. to demonise China because of these problems exist, 2. to lesson them how things should be done.
I like how mentions the traffic issues in Beijing as an issue but the millions of uyghurs locked up he sidesteps...
Just to add to the conversation: "Beijing has brazenly attempted to abrogate the terms of its treaty in Hong Kong, whose citizens are demanding their freedom in the face of a crackdown. China habitually threatens our allies, chronically steals our intellectual property, and relentlessly spies on and hacks the US and our closest friends -- to say nothing of their currency manipulation and myriad nefarious actions on global trade. The regime's human rights record is also abysmal, underscored by their horrific persecution and 're-education' of religious minorities in western China."
Yes. China will self implode.

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Great China has very hardworking pepole！Keep going!
CPC is representing the common interest of the masses therefore under current political system, there is no such need for an opposition party in China. Any self proclaimed opposition party will be standing in the opposite side of history and Chinese people.
However, there's political consultation process with various parties in China as well as democratic system within the government and CPC for selection of policy and candidate. Managing a state like China must not through western style political system, but a political system that is purely home grown.

Been there and I still don’t think it’s great how they don’t allow much political or civil liberty. All Chinese people ever seem to care about is getting richer and more powerful. That’s nice and all but there are also many other things that make a country livable. The level of repression in China is still abhorrent.
