This is one man's view about the future of China - what matters is, PEOPLE - and the QUALITY their DAILY LIFE. In the last half century not many countries have actually DELIVERED TO THE PEOPLE - China has done so far more than any other country. I am not talking about political systems - I am talking about jobs, housing, education, food supply, parks, culture, dynamism, belonging, etc. In less than half a century China has transformed itself from an agrarian society to a powerful INDUSTRIAL society - and now into a HIGH TECH society. What has driven this transformation? FOCUS, stability, pragmatism, and a life view that is spread over generation rather than a single lifetime. What the future holds for mankind is, in many ways, being built in China - but eventually this new Chinese Empire will also fall - but it will never be forgotten. The Egyptian Empire rose very quickly and lasted 4,500 years before it fell to the swords of Greek and Roman Armies, and even today we marvel at their achievements. Today China is the most Dynamic society that mankind has; and it appears willing to share its achievements - and yesterday's offer of their opening their future Space Station to all and sundry only goes to prove it.
this is really the outsider effect. the more sensible people in the country who experienece anciety, depression, insecurity imposed by the regime feel quite the opposite. our internet is restricted, our chat monited, this is really 1984 unfolding in reality. the so called economic reform halt, people s wealth been squandered by the state reaping gains on stock market and donating tons of money to buy friendship elsewhere whereas poverty still plague the countryside. dont let it fool u, the country is not so dynamic or secure. people gets killed in the street. just there isnt any word out. also, tons of enterprise are withdrawing from china as the official doesnt keep their promise of low tax incentive(seagate) or cant even protect companies from riot(toyata and a south korean supermarket retailer)

Rather than worry about string of pearls in south Asia, India should worry about how dysfunctional it became since 1947, when Gandhi chose the path of division instead of unity (he had no mandate to divide the country, but agreed to do so only to appease the Anglo-Americans) resulting in a united India where they are happy to be able to speak in English and play cricket and remain 'slumdog poor'. Majority Indians have no basic human rights (dalits) and no neighbor is friendly to India.

+Peter Wang Rudd's mistake was not in his ability or vision. In fact he had an excess of both. His mistake was doing too much too fast. He lost the backing of Labor when his positions went against dogma and he was deposed by Gillard. The same thing happened in 2012; only, that he tried for PM when the Party had already soured on him. The resultant infighting and fallout caused the Australian public to lose confidence in a party that had devolved to rampant leaks, attacks and a lack of concrete policy of any kind. So we voted in a neoconservative with a penchant for gaffes. The plus side was that it reassured the average Australian voter that they had a leader who was more down on their level; perhaps a little lower. Frankly I'm surprised and a little saddened that Abbott survived as long as he did. And now we have Turnbull, a fresh man with a fresh face but pushing policies that are the same as Abbott's. Unimaginative and vain. We are spinning our tires in the wake of the commodity crunch without an exit strategy to grow the economy in a different way. The NBN might have been that big infrastructure project to give Australia the technological edge to compete in an increasingly digital world, but LNP stonewalling has ensured that it will be billions over budget and far inferior to the scope and capability it was originally intended to be. The abolition of the mining and carbon taxes - intended to combat Dutch Disease - also served to increase the budgetary deficit and destroy our capability to use that foreign capital infusion to spur other parts of the economy. The baffling switch from open competitive tenders for defense contracts to back room dealing pours billions down the drain for questionable capability at the time our armed forces reach end of life on their materiel. The current stance in foreign policy appears to be that there is no foreign policy. We now have had 5 prime ministers in as many years. Frankly, I think it reflects the power vacuum that Rudd left. It reflects the voter's increasing dissatisfaction with simply enduring, instead of progressing. Both incumbents - Turnbull and Shorten - got to where they are now, by playing Party dogma and sticking to party lines. They have not the wherewithal nor the courage to do anything more than the bare minimum.
MonMalthias: Your comment is very true but lacks depth. You do not mention the IMF and Central Banking system's influence on politics in the land of Ozz. There is more than clear evidence that the legal system, financial system, the secret service and the Media, as well as big business, has been under the thumb of globalists for at least a hundred years.
Yes yes, let's praise the Communists including Rudd, don't be dissenting or you may be locked up. No sorry, he reminds me of rhe Mayor in the movie of Yogi Bear.
I just started doing business with the Chinese 2 years ago and there is nothing more overwhelming then what I see when I visit China through my frequency there...ignore this country at your peril...
danpt2000 if we only identify with the big cities like Beijing Shanghai Guangzhou we are in for a big mistake. I just completed a 15 city tour which took me 2 months....starting from Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou,Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou,Zuhai, Kunming, Chengdu, Chongzhing, Wuhan and finally Changsa....all those cities are huge and well populated....in just 20 years I came before that was in 1995...I have never seen such rapid changes its mind blogeling to say the least...
Ezekiel 25:17 Nazi Germany too impressed many but look what happened. China's fundamentals are wrong. Material progress cannot be sustained without emotional, spiritual progress. Average Chinese is like a robot, doing the bidding of the State. He/She has no civil rights, no right to religion, no right to property. Such a state is doomed in my opinion. Unless of course China figures out a way to become a full fledged democracy. If that happens, it would be a miracle.
The big question for me is, who decided that the world should stay under Western dominance when the population of the world ( if it were democratic ) demands that it be otherwise, The East is far bigger than the West and does not democracy say that majority rules.
Eastern democracy is radically different. It depends on whether the nation understands diversity. India does. 29 languages with 3 major religions. That's not easy. And whether cultural capital can be passed on. China doesn't understand that.
Note that the USA gives Japan only administrative role to the island. The implication is that Japan cannot breach this role by populating them or otherwise using them. China also knows that if Japan populates the islands and if China does nothing, then the Japanese population on the islands will decide sovereignty. Hence, the USA will stipulate to Japan that it cannot breach its administrative role. The USA fears causing a war. Without Japan breaching the administrative role, there will never be finality to the sovereignty. Well into 2040 2050, the islands will still be disputed. By then, comprehensive power will decide and prevail--China likely will eventually win and China at this time can wait.
Listening to Kevin Rudd's comments 10 years ago the comments about "an emerging innovation" as students went to many parts of the world and then returned to China with new ideas has born success. The comments about ports and the population decline are noteworthy as we look at areas of the world with young populations. Have long believed that "respect" both within Nations and between and among Nations reaps greater relations with dialog on every level.
I watched and become impressed with PM. Rudd's insightful understanding of China and his diplomatic skill. If all foreign diplomats took time to learn Chinese and understand its culture, world peace will be so much more promissing. 令人欽佩的李克文 總理，外交官； 九年前他準碓地預測了中國的發展。 全球的外交官都應該向他學習；學中文。 那麼世界和平就大有希望了。
For our special knowledge: Kevin Rudd's past live was a Chinese, according to Buddhist's totem reading on reincarnation. Although he is white Australian blood.
Sir Robert Menzies was a great PM of Australia in the past, so as Gough Whitlam and Bob Hawke. It seems now the William McMahon ghost of "All the way with LBJ" is coming back to haunt the Australian.
Kevin come back for another term as prime minister... i think we need someone who understands the growing power instead of so concentrated in what the US does

They build Trans Africa Highway to conect many state in Africa , the long term of economic invest . It is the road of their production market to the future. Smart planning.
Eight years ago Kevin Rudd had predicted in his speech in LKY school of Public Service.of the global arena in terms of military and economy might influencing all the neighbouring countries around the mighty powerful consisting of America Russia and China not the least. He also expressed his view about the XiJinPing China Dreams as well.
We are reaching the most ideal environment for leaders of the world to get together to confront the USA and its allies to best use their diplomacy to encourage China and all other emerging economies to share their accomplishments with due respect as contributors possibly bringing the world to realize the “One World One Dream” community. It’s humanity’s ultimate desire to fully realized a globalized village fronting as truly the United Nations. It's a dream of the 21st Century never to be miss by humanity.
Kevin Rudd predictions left only couple of months What happened of NATO Treating 🇨🇳 as it's major treat to Americans and NATO The great leader Kevin Rudd has ability to deal with the major challenges facing American and NATO
Look at what China's attitude and America's attitude. Vast difference. If you can't see the difference then something must go wrong with one's six senses, being damaged or cracked. Thank you for sharing.
march 28th, 2021. china is still on track, although big head wind from the US and western countries. The US is throwing the kitchen sinks now trying to slow china down. The US is desperate, and things are getting nasty. I just hope there will be no war.
The obstacles to the rise of China are more geographical and scientifically than anything else. Demand for energy will need to be solved by scientific innovation and need to break out of the landlocked geographical problem. Unlike the US who started pretty much on a clean slate owning virtually a continent with so little local rival, we have so many strong local rivals.
Toby Li the Americas were not a clean slate when the US came into existence. the 'clean slate' was the result of a deliberate project of annihilation of the indigenous peoples before they could become a serious oposition
On a completely unrelated note, I just love how the camera pans to the people asking questions, and we can see the people in the audience looking at the people who are asking a question, and then self consciously looking away. It's a bit mean, but somehow I can't stop laughing at this bit of mini-drama happening beneath the microphone.
Question. Why would China look to give greater autonomy towards its financial sector. Its do very well for them as it is. If you don’t believe me just have a look at the financial mess in the West. North Korea will be fine if the West leave them alone.

The Chinese will hopefully remember the name calling and act wisely when dealing with foreigners in the future. China's like the class geek being bullied by the brawny bullies and their weaker underlings. In an equitable world led by merit and steered by material wealth, this geek will find worthwhile friends and emerge as the man at the top eventually. One word of advice for Chinese friends, stop buying european garbage "luxury" goods. I understand social signaling is a big deal to you guys but take a lesson from the Japanese and start to promote your own products and decades down the track you can start going higher end. No french fabric made in italy by a smelly part time pizza chef is worth the dollars you so happily pay for.
Lol, I am an Indian consumer consuming Junk Chinese products here. They even export fake food. Assuming you are a European, you are welcome to consume only Chinese products which is flooding most countries today.
There is nothing wrong with ethnocentralism if all Chinese can become Han, by love between a man and a woman, and free-thought in love of the Han culture. If the USA can become color blind in courtship and marriage, Americanism will also mean social satisfaction for all.
It is interesting to observe how different societies react to leaders of their own nations. Kevin being a very practical leader in dealing with the world at large and particular in his understanding of China and her influence around and yet Aussies refused to let him to lead. Well that is democracy! The current policy of the present Aussie government is basically based on Trumpism, fearing the growing influence of China based largely on her economic power. And Australia is definitely on the right side of this exchange and yet her current leadership prefers to sacrifice this exchange based on White's supremacism? Of course, trade requires two parties to tango, I guess Australia thought that since China needs plenty of iron ore, where Australia has the largest reserves, and China produces some 60% of the world production and China would have to depend on Aussie's ore. But they forgot China too has her reserves so has Russia where it is only nearer but can also contribute to the balance flow of goods from the West to the East based on rail freight! A number of the CIS nations also have iron reserves, hence we can see some changes in the near future!

In some ways, Kevin Rudd's thinking was still restricted by the Western government ideas. You completely misunderstand why he removed term limits, and you also treat this with double standards. Many European chairs don't have term limits either, yet no one calls them "president for life". Every leader has their specific projects that they're working on, and it's best to not get of the driver when the train is picking up speed to go on a difficult terrain, especially since that driver would know the details and information better than any other that could take his place. In fact, terms are one of the issues with the Western countries, as nothing can get implemented. Every time someone comes into power, they try to implement this grand project which gets ripped up by the person after them. China does not want this.
@@angeliquewu8318 There is a fundamental difference in philosophy. I believe leaders should be dominated by the people, with multi-party elections every three - four years. In China, every candidate must be selected by the CCP, only 90 million people out of 1300 people. You may think differently, but that does not alter the gross loss of freedom in a one party (yes I am aware of the sub-parties) state. The Taiwanese people do not want that, and they deserve to be delivered from tyranny and oppression.

China has done a great job elevating poverty, building up its power and competing with the while west. That has resulted in America panicking , trying regime change, and using propaganda to justify using a coalition to aa action and try to crush china. The dream of a chinese collapse is wishful thinking from Washington. Chinas political model is effective enough to manage recession and also manage attack from the declining west. Ps I'm australian born and raised and in no way of chinese origins, but I live in africa and I've traveled to China and seeing its impact in several countries and consider it very positive.
Kevin Rudd was asked explicitly by a student what would happen if X Jinping's personal hold of power, while benign, be replaced by another leader. Would his policies remain, or will a less benign leader catch the world by surprise to the detriment of the world order. He never answered the question.
Well they can't answer. And now in 2019, we are increasingly seeing that China is not that benevolent. For all the ill will that is directed against Democracy especially the US form of federalism which is not pure democracy either way, none of them can justify what Xi Jin ping doing now. The very fact that we can openly discuss anything favourable to China, but the moment anybody speaks against China or speak about HK they are villified everywhere on the Internet, speaks volumes about how the Chinese communist party thinks. If China becomes the economic power they are touting to under the current regime, they will impose their idea of freedom over the rest of the world. Which is next to none.
China has a planned political management system through its communist/socialist/capitalist Government System. It works brilliantly for them-so what's wrong with that? I don't think they would want the US democratic/ capitalist system that is treasured by its own people and highly admired by the the Western World. Whereas the US is actively promoting it's own brand of democracy all over the World wherever it can, China is not on that track. US and its allies constantly demonise China because of their economic advancement which has zoomed China to no 2 in the pecking order. OK to be different? Apparently not.

So we voted in a neoconservative with a penchant for gaffes. The plus side was that it reassured the average Australian voter that they had a leader who was more down on their level; perhaps a little lower. Frankly I'm surprised and a little saddened that Abbott survived as long as he did. And now we have Turnbull, a fresh man with a fresh face but pushing policies that are the same as Abbott's.
Unimaginative and vain. We are spinning our tires in the wake of the commodity crunch without an exit strategy to grow the economy in a different way. The NBN might have been that big infrastructure project to give Australia the technological edge to compete in an increasingly digital world, but LNP stonewalling has ensured that it will be billions over budget and far inferior to the scope and capability it was originally intended to be. The abolition of the mining and carbon taxes - intended to combat Dutch Disease - also served to increase the budgetary deficit and destroy our capability to use that foreign capital infusion to spur other parts of the economy. The baffling switch from open competitive tenders for defense contracts to back room dealing pours billions down the drain for questionable capability at the time our armed forces reach end of life on their materiel. The current stance in foreign policy appears to be that there is no foreign policy.
We now have had 5 prime ministers in as many years.
Frankly, I think it reflects the power vacuum that Rudd left. It reflects the voter's increasing dissatisfaction with simply enduring, instead of progressing. Both incumbents - Turnbull and Shorten - got to where they are now, by playing Party dogma and sticking to party lines. They have not the wherewithal nor the courage to do anything more than the bare minimum.
Peter Wang Because he is too intellectual. I agree with you of course.
MonMalthias: Your comment is very true but lacks depth. You do not mention the IMF and Central Banking system's influence on politics in the land of Ozz. There is more than clear evidence that the legal system, financial system, the secret service and the Media, as well as big business, has been under the thumb of globalists for at least a hundred years.

China's fundamentals are wrong.
Material progress cannot be sustained without emotional, spiritual progress.
Average Chinese is like a robot, doing the bidding of the State. He/She has no civil rights, no right to religion, no right to property.
Such a state is doomed in my opinion. Unless of course China figures out a way to become a full fledged democracy. If that happens, it would be a miracle.

US has infiltrated Australian thoroughly and that's why Rudd is out of Australian politics.
The big question for me is, who decided that the world should stay under Western dominance when the population of the world ( if it were democratic ) demands that it be otherwise, The East is far bigger than the West and does not democracy say that majority rules.
India is quiet large and is democratic. What makes you think the East is averse to democracy?
Eastern democracy is radically different. It depends on whether the nation understands diversity. India does. 29 languages with 3 major religions. That's not easy. And whether cultural capital can be passed on. China doesn't understand that.
@@naiyayika what about yr caste segregations?

Kevin Rudd blows my mind!
Today is March 2021, two more years to wait, not long now.
Note that the USA gives Japan only administrative role to the island. The implication is that Japan cannot breach this role by populating them or otherwise using them.
China also knows that if Japan populates the islands and if China does nothing, then the Japanese population on the islands will decide sovereignty. Hence, the USA will stipulate to Japan that it cannot breach its administrative role. The USA fears causing a war.
Without Japan breaching the administrative role, there will never be finality to the sovereignty. Well into 2040 2050, the islands will still be disputed. By then, comprehensive power will decide and prevail--China likely will eventually win and China at this time can wait.
best school ever no discrimination a colorful and diverse combination .....
Interesting assessments , varied thoughtful responses. Best of all NO ADS. ✨
Listening to Kevin Rudd's comments 10 years ago the comments about "an emerging innovation" as students went to many parts of the world and then returned to China with new ideas has born success. The comments about ports and the population decline are noteworthy as we look at areas of the world with young populations. Have long believed that "respect" both within Nations and between and among Nations reaps greater relations with dialog on every level.
I watched and become impressed with PM. Rudd's insightful understanding of China and his diplomatic skill. If all foreign diplomats took time to learn Chinese and understand its culture, world peace will be so much more promissing. 令人欽佩的李克文 總理，外交官； 九年前他準碓地預測了中國的發展。 全球的外交官都應該向他學習；學中文。 那麼世界和平就大有希望了。

So very intelligent.
For our special knowledge: Kevin Rudd's past live was a Chinese, according to Buddhist's totem reading on reincarnation. Although he is white Australian blood.
Sir Robert Menzies was a great PM of Australia in the past, so as Gough Whitlam and Bob Hawke. It seems now the William McMahon ghost of "All the way with LBJ" is coming back to haunt the Australian.
Kevin said "out Chinese friends", now that is the right approach the leading countries should adopt.
Instead of calling them the communist beasts.
Kevin come back for another term as prime minister... i think we need someone who understands the growing power instead of so concentrated in what the US does
This year Kevin finally acknowledged Australia and himself had been wrong on China. China is a clear danger to the Western world.

Eight years ago Kevin Rudd had predicted in his speech in LKY school of Public Service.of the global arena in terms of military and economy might influencing all the neighbouring countries around the mighty powerful consisting of America Russia and China not the least. He also expressed his view about the XiJinPing China Dreams as well.
Japan remains an occupied nation. The Americans gave away an island that was not theirs to give.
We are reaching the most ideal environment for leaders of the world to get together to confront the USA and its allies to best use their diplomacy to encourage China and all other emerging economies to share their accomplishments with due respect as contributors possibly bringing the world to realize the “One World One Dream” community. It’s humanity’s ultimate desire to fully realized a globalized village fronting as truly the United Nations. It's a dream of the 21st Century never to be miss by humanity.

讲得非常好
The obstacles to the rise of China are more geographical and scientifically than anything else. Demand for energy will need to be solved by scientific innovation and need to break out of the landlocked geographical problem. Unlike the US who started pretty much on a clean slate owning virtually a continent with so little local rival, we have so many strong local rivals.
Toby Li the Americas were not a clean slate when the US came into existence. the 'clean slate' was the result of a deliberate project of annihilation of the indigenous peoples before they could become a serious oposition
On a completely unrelated note, I just love how the camera pans to the people asking questions, and we can see the people in the audience looking at the people who are asking a question, and then self consciously looking away. It's a bit mean, but somehow I can't stop laughing at this bit of mini-drama happening beneath the microphone.
Thanks Kevin rudd

Question. Why would China look to give greater autonomy towards its financial sector. Its do very well for them as it is. If you don’t believe me just have a look at the financial mess in the West. North Korea will be fine if the West leave them alone.

Greater autonomy without controls leads to greed, followed by collapse.

The Chinese will hopefully remember the name calling and act wisely when dealing with foreigners in the future. China's like the class geek being bullied by the brawny bullies and their weaker underlings. In an equitable world led by merit and steered by material wealth, this geek will find worthwhile friends and emerge as the man at the top eventually. One word of advice for Chinese friends, stop buying european garbage "luxury" goods. I understand social signaling is a big deal to you guys but take a lesson from the Japanese and start to promote your own products and decades down the track you can start going higher end. No french fabric made in italy by a smelly part time pizza chef is worth the dollars you so happily pay for.
This. Japanese domestic economy is predominately consumption of homegrown produces.
Lol, I am an Indian consumer consuming Junk Chinese products here. They even export fake food. Assuming you are a European, you are welcome to consume only Chinese products which is flooding most countries today.
@IdeaBoxful 中国有高、中、低等不同层次的产品。这取决于你个人的财富实力。花更多的钱能得到相等的好产品，贫穷的人只能购买廉价产品。
There is nothing wrong with ethnocentralism if all Chinese can become Han, by love between a man and a woman, and free-thought in love of the Han culture.

and he was right.
One almost wants to say that anti-corruption democratically is anti-democracy.
It is interesting to observe how different societies react to leaders of their own nations. Kevin being a very practical leader in dealing with the world at large and particular in his understanding of China and her influence around and yet Aussies refused to let him to lead. Well that is democracy! The current policy of the present Aussie government is basically based on Trumpism, fearing the growing influence of China based largely on her economic power. And Australia is definitely on the right side of this exchange and yet her current leadership prefers to sacrifice this exchange based on White's supremacism? Of course, trade requires two parties to tango, I guess Australia thought that since China needs plenty of iron ore, where Australia has the largest reserves, and China produces some 60% of the world production and China would have to depend on Aussie's ore. But they forgot China too has her reserves so has Russia where it is only nearer but can also contribute to the balance flow of goods from the West to the East based on rail freight! A number of the CIS nations also have iron reserves, hence we can see some changes in the near future!
😂Quite comprehensive even for people well informed. We have to learn and possibly digest it before analyzing it again. Politics being so dynamic these days it can be so bewildering...

Thank you sir?
20:40 "He is likely to have 10 years in office" You got that one very wrong Kev.
Term limits have been removed but Xi still has to be re-elected by party members which will only happen if his performance continues meeting KPIs
That foreign Mister Wong Yi will be the next Leader-he's brilliant.
In some ways, Kevin Rudd's thinking was still restricted by the Western government ideas.
You completely misunderstand why he removed term limits, and you also treat this with double standards.
Many European chairs don't have term limits either, yet no one calls them "president for life".
Every leader has their specific projects that they're working on, and it's best to not get of the driver when the train is picking up speed to go on a difficult terrain, especially since that driver would know the details and information better than any other that could take his place. In fact, terms are one of the issues with the Western countries, as nothing can get implemented. Every time someone comes into power, they try to implement this grand project which gets ripped up by the person after them.
China does not want this.
@@angeliquewu8318 There is a fundamental difference in philosophy. I believe leaders should be dominated by the people, with multi-party elections every three - four years. In China, every candidate must be selected by the CCP, only 90 million people out of 1300 people. You may think differently, but that does not alter the gross loss of freedom in a one party (yes I am aware of the sub-parties) state. The Taiwanese people do not want that, and they deserve to be delivered from tyranny and oppression.

China has done a great job elevating poverty, building up its power and competing with the while west. That has resulted in America panicking , trying regime change, and using propaganda to justify using a coalition to aa action and try to crush china.
The dream of a chinese collapse is wishful thinking from Washington. Chinas political model is effective enough to manage recession and also manage attack from the declining west. Ps I'm australian born and raised and in no way of chinese origins, but I live in africa and I've traveled to China and seeing its impact in several countries and consider it very positive.
Kevin Rudd was asked explicitly by a student what would happen if X Jinping's personal hold of power, while benign, be replaced by another leader. Would his policies remain, or will a less benign leader catch the world by surprise to the detriment of the world order. He never answered the question.
2023 , world without china , how great will the world be
Well they can't answer. And now in 2019, we are increasingly seeing that China is not that benevolent. For all the ill will that is directed against Democracy especially the US form of federalism which is not pure democracy either way, none of them can justify what Xi Jin ping doing now. The very fact that we can openly discuss anything favourable to China, but the moment anybody speaks against China or speak about HK they are villified everywhere on the Internet, speaks volumes about how the Chinese communist party thinks.
If China becomes the economic power they are touting to under the current regime, they will impose their idea of freedom over the rest of the world. Which is next to none.

I don't think they would want the US democratic/ capitalist system that is treasured by its own people and highly admired by the the Western World. Whereas the US is actively promoting it's own brand of democracy all over the World wherever it can, China is not on that track. US and its allies constantly demonise China because of their economic advancement which has zoomed China to no 2 in the pecking order. OK to be different? Apparently not.
