Professor Radhika Desai from University of Manitoba shares her views on China's development path, its unique practice of democracy and the China-U.S. relationship when she spoke to CGTN Radio reporter Xu Yawen.
Desai pointed out that Western countries benefited from imperialism and its vast colonies, while China had none of this. China has developed without the benefit of imperialism and was even a target of imperialism. "China is not trying to be a model, but there is a lot in China's experience that third world countries today and other countries can learn from," Desai said.

Thank you for sharing this conversation with prof Radhika Desai and for asking her such great questions and giving her time to present her answers in a comprehensive manner. I learned a lot! 😊
Oh, great to see Radhika Desai on CGTN!
Thank you for the wonderful in depth interview with Professor Desai from Manitoba. I wish more Canadians would have this global views
Love this interview with Prof. Desai who really understands China and the geopolitics surrounding China and Asia. Happy to see fellow Canadian who speaks up. ❤️from 🇨🇦🇨🇳
Canadians like us should consider coming together to raise awareness against the tyranny of the current hegemonic regime that’s been ravaging the world and humanity.
A very good take by Professor Radhika Desai. On how China has transformed itself from rag to inarguably one of the most competitive economy in the world today.
Penzai (pronounce bonsai in Japanese) is an ancient Chinese art traceable to the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907 AD). The Chinese word “penzai” literally means “tray planting.”
It is the art of growing and depicting artistically formed trees, shrubs in miniature landscapes in small and often shallow trays. The art demands careful and precise controlling and pruning where the plant is slowly shaped to give the appearance of an older, mature tree. The ultimate goal is for the tree to finally take on a shape that resembles how the tree would look growing in nature.
In order to achieve that desired effect, the bonsai master will at times allow the tree to flourish uncontrolled. At other times he would use of wires to control and shape its growth. If he exerts too much control, the tree dies. Lack of control, and the tree grows wild. It is through the act of balancing between allowing the tree to flourish and under controlled growth, he creates a master piece.
The Chinese economic planners fully appreciate that laissez-faire economics theory - the sole dependent on the equilibrium of supply and demand to efficiently direct the production of goods and services - is a fallacy. If left alone and let the market do its own thing, the wealth gap would aggravate with no protection of the inalienable rights of the masses against the minority rich and powerful. Hence, certain key economic functions are retained in the hand of the state. The recent regulatory framework designed to rein in the unfettered power of internet giants is another case in point.
The result - a more equitable and sustainable growth.
A valuable post - the analogy to penzai is excellent - it’s another way to say that the respect for nature is deep rooted and forms an important basis for an organically flourishing society.
@@sciagurrato1831
🙏
so it is a similar case to run a country like someone to do a penzai?
@@matthewachilles6387
No. It is not!
But the underlying principle, pertaining to unfettered “laissez faire capitalism vs well designed and well regulated market economy, is.
Truth be told, there is no market economy which is completely free from the abstention of some form of government interference.

Every word Prof Desai spoke about hypocritical America is like dart hitting bullseye. She is marvellous! Thank you for sharing this interview with us.

You are correct, Shivraj; and think how many millions of Americans can also percieve this.
Prof Radhika Desai is SOOO well informed & ELOQUENT . . she speaks ABSOLUTE TRUTH . .MORE POWER to her ! !
Professor brought some very important points. China developed while being a target of imperialism. Exactly.
I do agree with Ms. Desai fully and unconditionally!
Radhika Desai is a True Indian Intellectual. Her Analysis and Insight in China's great Development and International Politic is Amazingly very True and Real. She Speaks very Clearly and Beautifully for a Common Human Being to Understand. She Belongs to the Majority of the Indian High Elite of Intellectuals who see the world as it is. Respect to her Higher Intelligent Insight 👏👏🥰🙏🙏
I am simply impressed by her attitude ideas and humane view of life in China in relation to the shallow hoop la of so called democracies in the western world where elections are stage managed after every five years and people are subjected to the brutal system driven by few wealthy elite
😊😊😊
She's amazing. A real find.
Strong INTELLIGENT words from the professor,
An objective talk done by a very knowledgeable lady. Applaud and my highest respect.
China is a wonderful world leader as it does so by setting a good example that others would like to follow. I can only hope that others can adapt it to their own countries.
Uighers- child labor,Africa mine workers- peoples doors welded shut.did or are,. these happening. ?
@@nealamesbury1480 Yes, it's happening deep in your little brain Mr frog! Keep up your whining!
USA hegemony has now been exposed to its bones and its falling fortunes can’t hide its ugly desperate conceit to the rest of the world
It is moving fast into ignoble history
Thank you CGTN, Xu and Radhika for this excellent discussion; I particularly appreciated Radhika's clarification of China's 'whole process people's democracy' and its capacity for correction.
Prof. What the world class analysis you had & an awakening to many .
Extremely well explained on the analysis of the American Chinese differences. This road has many dangerous twists and turns among the two countries. There is always hope of resolving differences.
rightly pointed out, excellent discussion , proud of you
Thanks for this very educational discussion by Prof Radhika its very enlightening and refreshing to hear this.
Professor Desai needs to teach Justin Trudeau how things stand in the world today !
Trudeau unlike his father has driven Canada from a neutral country into us hegemony; at times he behaved shamelessly like American poodle
Wonderful interview! Thank you!
Professor Desai always nails it! ❤
Said it all
from California
What a brilliant explanation!
Thank you professor Desai. Love South Africa
China has competed with the West and won. That makes China and Russia a big target. The trick is that to win this battle China and Russia need a wide network of alliances to break the Western hegemony. It will be a great favour to the entire humanity. Jia You 💕
A remarkable lady telling us the truth thank you.
Not just thanks
Many thanks for her honest analysis of brutal western colonial policies in 21st century
Informative and educational. Thanks.
Prof Desai's analysis is always interesting.
I did not know much of her; and now I see another person of enormous intellect and analysis which is humane and convincing
She had given a new vision of how US had planned her foreign policy since WW2! I would pick up book on this topic!
Radhika Desai certainly has an amazing mind and ability to express herself on this topic. Thanks for such leadership.
She rocks!
Great discussion.
This is a high level interview, very good.
Fortunately, in the world outside those in the west are insightful and very capably people to see through their Hocus pocus.
This excellent lady is very knowledgeable.
Instant fan of Radhika Ji 🙏
Radhika Desai is a True Intellectual with a clear conception of the present world as it is. 💖
Thanka for posting this.very good.
Prof. Desai is wonderful. A clear thinker, a humanist, witch great eloquence and persuasiveness.
One of my top two geopolitical scholars. Radhika is a joy to listen to.
The analogy that Ambassador Qin should have used is not tripping the other athlete but to Tonya Harding your competitor...meaning kneecapping your opponent in the knee with a metal bar so that person can't walk or compete...at least tripping one still can get up and still have a small chance. Kneecapping, you are in the hospital and over a year of rehabilitation and it doesn't mean you will be 100% fit again. That is what Tonya Harding your competitor means. Tonya Harding an American figure skater who hired a thug to kneecap Nancy Kerrigan her "competitor", an American skater, in the knees before the US Olympics Trials. This is what I have been labeling this so-called competition for the last year, China being Tonya Harding by Uncle Sam.
@Cam- more serious form of injury, more incapacitating!
" tripping" is too light a phraseology?
Fantastic guest with spot on context and analysis! If only our leadership class in the West had half the intelligence and rationality of people like professor Desai, it would be a much safer, saner world.
Michael Hudson and Radhika Desai are voices of reason in a time of neo-McCarthyism and unchecked saber rattling.
Remarkable analysis.
Radhika Desai has just given us an excellent lesson on China.
Pay attention to what she's saying never mind China understand what she is saying the United snakes and the hypocrisy of the bully talking about freedom and democracy time for extinction of the evil empire
Amazing mind with Beautiful heart in Processor Radhika Desai within Positive attitude perspective mindset to blossom thrive boon insightful . She is Obvious right as per ongoing episode consequences outcome . Her prediction is based on Evidently facts . Her explanation and narration is very Professional well comprehensive to understand the facts Whats going on and around .
Glad to see such voice of reason from within the US.
Not just Chinese in China. Its Chinese any where in the world.
Just remember that Tonya Harding was an American Skater who employed American tactics to get rid of her competitors to the Olympics.
Radhika Desai is one of my socio-political Messiahs. I love listening her lectures.
“Ever more fraudulent” - Prof Desai’s description of the US is a bullseye.
Even ASPI, US lap dogs came out to reports that China is leadings in 37 out of 44 in high techno logy aspects,which only left 7 technology which is still ahead of China.
This is the reasons why US is getting nervous days by days.
The American Sponsored Propaganda Institute (ASPI) is not trying to compliment China - it is the opposite. It is hyping up China's technological lead for fear-mongering purposes so that Australia and the US can secure ever bigger defence budgets to take down China. How dare China over-take the US economically and technologically. This is part of ASPI's war mongering effort.
Tonya Harding is American after all. What an inspiration to the Biden Administration.
Yup. Zombie Joe Kneecapping the 90% of America so the 10% can buy more yachts and mansions....correction, more like 95+ percent.
China stated Factually in Alaska to America, 'Don't come here thinking you are in a Position of Power', LMFAO!!!
Very insight from Prof.... China into manufacture engineering . The West is more interested in finance engineering... Print Paper
This is such a good interview.. truth in all it’s glory… you’ll never get this kind of respect for China from western media
Also I have to say 2 beautiful women to make you want to look at ❤
She is absolutely correct,
Hmm, who is this professor? How come ive never heard of her or seen any interview with her before? She seems to understand china reasonably well and more importantly, she can see the big picture and see everything in it's proper context, like how she mentioned that china grew not only without imperialism, but also was contained and attacked the whole time by the imperialists trying to keep their I'll gotten gains. Usa may have not done as much direct imperialism as UK or eu countries, but didn't use take Hawaii, took phillipines, occupied Japan till now, took Mexicos land, and even wiped out all natives and took the whole continent basically along with Canada. Then let's not forget manifest destiny, Monroe doctrines, and so on.
Usa came to the game late, and thus had to do neo imperialism, where instead of directly occupying and having your countryman directly rule, they instead "regime change" and install a local puppet instead, and also give in the veneer of sovereignty and moral legitimacy.. it is far more sinister, since dictators can be assassinated and overthrown/removed etc, but overturning a whole established social system that has existed for centuries or even millenia is much much harder. Like ending monarchic systems that have been the only thing UK has known for millenia. China did it, which is also a great accomplishment and something all Chinese are proud of, but we are.also proud of our dynastic history also, since that is history, and back then that was the norm and all the world knew. China kept the best aspects of their system and culture, and then also took the best aspects of western systems, aka china used their brain and took all the world's knowledge and experiences, and applied them to Chinese culture and society to make it work for china. Meanwhile west is too egoistical and biased to even study Chinese system properly, even though it has produced miracle after miracle in the last 70 years.
If anything the west will be left behind, since it is developing countries and continents like Africa who is taking inspiration from china and they are the ones learning from china, while west still thinking they are the best and they are the center of the world still. Sorry but the center has returned to the original middle/central kingdom, china. They just don't know it yet and still think 15% in the west is representative of the world, and that they can ignore the 85% and still dominate the world. Sorry but they are the weaklings now compared with 85% of the world, they are the ones going to Africa and south America to always talk bad about china and to turn that 85% against china since they've started to realize the simple genius of china's belt and road/economic/diplomatic/tech plan. It's just win win, and don't be an asshole. As simple as that. And yet usa and west STILL cannot do it! Lol. They've deluded themselves so hard that they can't even admit the most basic facts anymore and admit that they are doing things in a fundamentally wrong way, like using sanctions and threats, and generally looking down at every countries not called china or Russia or in the west. They even still look down on Japan and sk as colonies, and they are, but sooner or later this will.come back to bite them in the ass as all their actions do. It's called blowback, and just like Iraq and Afghanistan and torture and all that, if all has negative consequences in the long run for usa and west.
Their imperialism and colonialism is now coming back to bite them, since china never colonised Africa or south America or middle east or Asia, so that already gives china a massive massive advantage in credibility. If everything else is equal they will still choose china just because of that. China has done more for Africa in terms of infrastructure and development in 50 years than whole of west has done in 500. And that's not even counting the negative developments, like slavery, genocide, debt traps, resource extraction, slave labor, etc. Basically everything they have done, they are now falsely accusing china of doing. But Africans and others who actually were debt trapped and who were colonised and slaves and
forced to labor away are not fooled, since china is not doing any of that, and that is usa and wests pure projection since they cannot understand why a powerful nation will go for win win and treat the weaker with respect when they can dominate in a zero sum way and just make demands that must be met... Or else.
Great segment, hope to see more from this guest, thanks to the interviewer as well. She's a new face for me, I only know Jing Jing, Wang guan, Liu Xin and Tan Wei(? Is that her name? I forgot haha).
She does good podcasts with Michael Hudson on Geopolitical Economy Report
She’s a Marxist professor and as such these people are marginalised in the west. She’s mostly known in communist circles that already see the world through Marxist dialectical materialist lens.
Very good profound opinions 👏
Professor Desai is great, and I completely agree with her.
Political America, is becoming freaky and neurotic.
But, one should not forget what the West had been saying for a long time," the yellow danger, when Chinese awoken "etc.
Another great analogy would rather injure competition than give it their all 😅
JAPAN WERE NOT COMMUNIST COUNTRY, BUT AMERICAN FORCE JAPAN SUCCUMBED & SIGNED PLAZA ACCORD AGREEMENT IN 1986
Have heard Radhika Desai once before yet not to the extent I discovered in this detailed interview; she has intellectual as well as humane vision of rising phenomenon revealing itself as China - power house of international development and universal enhancement of human life on earth
Imagine radhika and jaishankar from India as well world leaders
The interviewer wanted to smile at times, but managed to keep a straight face. The bully bragging about democracy 😂
It's just bizarre to expect that one's political system can be implanted into another Society completely different
🇨🇳has exhibited a very tolerant temperament towards the provocations. It's not the people, especially when they realize that a global relationship is better for all the world children, including their's and their leaders want that for only their's1❤🇺🇲🇨🇳🩶
At 35:12 the Professor Desai said there is no "stop" button in America's so called policy.
It brought to my mind the great saying of the professor Samir Amin : '' the good thing about FASCISTS is : they do not know when to stop. ''.
Thanks and greetings from California.
That's a great analogy the shirt button 😂
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
subscribed -thx
its Confucianism and learning
Damn, she is so right on most topics. The fact that she’s a Canadian economic professor gives you hope that America is an open n free society that foster people with views closer to the truth except people like her don’t control the narratives. How did US govt and it’s Allie’s control the narrative so complete? What happens to the diversity of views in public discourses in democratic societies ? It’s all because of social media and the so-called democratic Internet. It’s when you think about it. They are tools god sent. Lol
Good job Radhika!
Namaste China ..
In 1810, the United States consisted of only 13 colonies in north eastern part of North America. Then the US empire began its westward expansion in N. American continent conquering Spanish Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas, Florida (in the south), New California (of Mexico) and Alaska to complete the entire continent. Other territories conquered include Hawaii (annexed to become a state), Puerto Rico, Guam, Marshal Is, and a secret military based Island in deep Indian Ocean. So, the rise of the hidden US Empire ( described by a History professor) is by military conquest and continued to this day. Its foreign policy and military expansion has not changed. The US vassals include all of European countries, and in the Asian countries like Japan, S.Korea, Phillipines (ruled over 50 yrs), Taiwan and recently Singapore (economic dominance in financial sector). All these countries hosted US military occupations with military bases. Not to mention Australia and NZ. No military occupation is needed in SG bcos it can easily be subdued and crippled by financial economic pressure in the banking industry. Why? Bcos SG had leveraged real estate long term investments and mortgages using low interst rate from the US banks. This reliance makes SG vulnerable. India too has to succumb to economic trade pressure. Most of India's IT services are highly dependent on the US. With this history, now you can compare and contrast the rise of China as described by prof Desai.
Professor Radhika Desai is perfectly right about the blinding and arrogant tropism of the West - and which spends its time insulting others: however, it is by the force of example that we can change the world.
The world wants to modernize without ever becoming Western again - my modest job is to observe it, to analyze it, even if no one in the West and certainly not in the big institutions wants to hear it, is interested in it. hear because in fact they are not interested in development - only hedonism - yet this movement is remarkably intelligent and powerful.
Well said
she keeps saying china is "socialist",
fallacy of circular argument, known as petitio principii
1) there is no universal free a)Healthcare,b)education,c)housing(or even nationalized subsidized govt housing),d)fully nationsilized natural resources(different mineral mining sites) which r in availaible in china in china.
2) social ownership of the means of production - socialism
both of the points r not true for china, for which china is to be considered "socialist nation" is wrong.
even if no. 1 was true for china ,this would be a socialized system not a socialist economy,state.
Abandon ideological prejudice and jointly follow a path of peaceful co-existence, mutual benefit and win-win co-operation. Xi Jinping.
Democracy? I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Prof Radhika Desai, should give a lecture to Vantage Anchor Palkis and WION NEWS MEDIA anchor about China rise peacefully.

🌍🤝✌️🌎🤝✌️🌎Prof. Radhika Desai should give a lecture to Vantage Anchor Palkis and WION NEWS MEDIA anchor about China rise peacefully.
WION..... India's monkey channel
WION is a fuckup channel. Very biased, prejudiced, not factual.
Desai can say all the negative things about the US government or officials and still expect to be free and safe while traveling to the US. However, the same cannot be said about China.
I would love to see an article written by her that is critical of the CCP.
Thank you Professor Radhika Desai for your clarifying explanation and analysis.
Question to Desai,
When did China and CCP play a fair and proper economic game with the west?
Do you even understand the draconian rules and measures foreign corporations have to follow in China?
Question to you,when’s the west play fair ? They used cia to twist hands of potential competitors? It destroyed entire countries economies,and destroyed millions of lives to be able to control their labour,markets and resources.
Draconian measures are are part of protectionism to develop their own economy and also to be able to defend themselves from imperialism that comes on all shapes and forms from economic,military,cultural and ideological aspect.
The words China and Democracy should not be used in the same sentence
Need explanation please with evidence base . Not comprehensive to understand .
China Democracy is based in Chinese Characteristics of Ancient Civilization , Culture , Customs which is different to Western Style trait of those Countries . Radhika Desai narration is exacting to Chinese Characteristics meritorious insightful .
"The words U$ and Democracy should not be used in the same sentence" is more like it. All levels of society are represented in China's government whereas U$' government only represents the 1%. For the people not the 1%. China is more of a democracy in my book.
What makes you come to this conclusion?
Chinese hybrid terrorism is also modernizing Everyday..
@Secure- rats are tough to catch?
Right, every country should have democracy the best money can buy. Living without a roof over your head is the ultimate "freedom". Like the iconic saying from the great Angelina Jolie, "They have nothing but they are free". 🤪
@@beproudasian8279 -marvellous to resume natural lives with natural habitat!
Ms.Desai can be an effective CCP spokesperson.
CGTN only invites scholars that parrot the CCP line and praise the CCP.
I haven’t seen anyone on this platform criticizing the CCP
The U$ regime's anti-China propaganda already doing it 24/7 using 90% of the world's media that is controlled by 5 corporations in the West. So you think there's still not enough people criticizing China? Those poor underprivilege folks in U$, when can they get any attention from their government? Kids can't even go to school safely anymore in U$ and China is the one that has problems? Must be some upside down delusional world Americans are living in. Jesus!
She talked non-stop. Should give the interviewer a chance to ask questions.
