  • China is imposing harsh regulations on private education, big tech, and billionaires. The new Cold Warriors in the U.S. government and media call these moves authoritarian, leftward tyranny, and bad for business. But Chinese president Xi Jinping calls it part of a “common prosperity” agenda to create a more equitable society on the road to building socialism.
    To help understand the Chinese point of view, Rania Khalek was joined by Tings Chak, a writer and researcher with Dongsheng News and the Tricontinental Institute.

      Yes, China took an interesting gamble under Deng Xiaoping. Essentially the idea was that China could simultaneously protect itself from a USSR-style cold war _and_ rapidly develop their country by enticing the greed of foreign capitalists.
      In this way, China was able to essentially import a gigantic amount of foreign wealth without enslaving itself to the IMF or World Bank -- quite the contrary, they put themselves on the geopolitical high ground by capturing much of the productive capacity of their major competitor: the US.
      The fear, naturally, has been that this strategy would lead China down the "capitalist road" as Mao said. What's interesting to me now is that the CCP has not lost control to the capitalists & are now able to countervale capitalist influence & power in their society.
      The danger is certainly not over, but it will be absolutely fascinating to see how Xi's "socialism with Chinese characteristics" strategy unfolds.

  • @williamc9578
    @williamc9578 Před 9 měsíci +4

    On China crackdown on billionaires, most apparent with the Tech Sector, a couple of things Westerners will find it difficult to understand are:
    A) In Socialist China, Capital actually has a lot of lattitude to allocate resources and develop Product & Services, BUT, Capital is a tool, and ultimately it has to serve the people, not control or enslave them with lifelong debt, threat of bankruptcy, homelessness, destitution.
    B) In Chinese culture, wealth is pursued and celebrated, but there also need to have balance. Common Prosperity is an exhortation to shift towards this balance. It isn't everyone gets equal pay no matter your effort or output, but a "more fair distribution of wealth". A healthy society is not one where the capitalists have 50-90% of the wealth & resources of the country, but one where the entire population has social mobility and opportunity. This can only happen when people have the ability to build equity for themselves, their families. As such, there's no utility for a billionaire to have his 14th luxury mansion, or his 3rd private jet. But all these excesses, can have huge multiplier-utility if it is in hands of 10000 families.

    Regarding ANT financial, it was highly risky lending practice and would be illegal in the US and Europe.
    What they were doing was Alibaba had alipay system (similar to Apple pay) where people put money into their alipay account so they can pay for everyday purchases. The digital payment system is 80% of all transactions in China do there are tons of money sitting with Alibaba.
    They created ANT financials to lend this money out while giving users 4 to 7% return if they keep their money in the account. But because the money generally moves from one alipay account to another, the real money doesn't leave Alibaba so they can infinitely lend money without collaterals to back up the lending. It is highly risky for the average family if ANT financial fails, and there are no rules to audit or restrict Albans because they are not a bank (i.e. apple pay doesn't follow banking rules).
    This also gives powers to Alibaba to do large investments by lending that money to themselves and start to take over other industries, which is why it was the largest IPO in history as investors are banking ANT to go into other industries and dominate with that much capital.
    Which is also the reason why Chinese government is moving rapidly to digital currency to prevent private companies to take over this space and put people's money and lives in high risk situations.

    An anecdote from the '60s. I was in a school with three grades per 30 person class. We took a "standardized test". The teacher (who was also the "principal" of the school.) decided to "discuss" the results of the "standardized test". The lowest and the highest IQ scores were written on the blackboard. I felt sorry for the "lowest"... we all knew who he was. I was also embarrassed by the "highest"... because it was equally obvious that that was me.. myself..
    All children are a gift from G-d. Even if IQ is not dominant there are other skills that should be equally valued. Every person on G-d's green earth has a right to live a fulfilled life and have healthy and happy children.
