My condolence for anyone approaching retirement you may have concerns over whether your pension pot will stretch to cover the rising costs of living. Bad energy policy, bad foreign policy, bad regulatory policy , and insane fiscal policy
@@trane85 50 and retiring early. I'm really concerned abt the future in all aspects of where we all going, in this breath finances ; how to stay afloat. I'm thinking about investing for the first time in the capital-market but how can i achieve all that given that the market has being a mess most of the year?
corruption govt corruption.. corporate greed.. has destroyed the republic.. it is not a republic and hasnt been since hte bullet killed JFK. usa is an oligarchy wearing the skin of a dead republic.. potlicians do not represent americans.. they are all corrupt paid puppets working for the highest bidders. only way to save this country is get rid of the vote.. and instead vote with dollars.. 300 million of us voting with 10,000 each voting dollars given to us every year should be able to out bribe china.. ukraine.. corporations etc..
I've been considering taking that path. I've kept a lot of stocks, but they're starting to depreciate, and I'm not sure if I should stick onto them or sell them. I believe restructuring my portfolio would be facilitated by engaging your investing coach.
Another excellent and informative video by Ben clearly explaining the rise of China and showcasing the world an alternative to govern and alleviate poverty
It needs very steady and efficient government to get the achievements, but in the world lots of policies of the current government would be overthrow by the next government due to election.
WTF are you talking about. Alternative to govern to Communism? Its ideology is death. China is what it is now because they allow their people to dictate their own enterprise destiny. Besides free enterprises, everything else very much reflects the modern form of "red" imperialism. Just like the Chinese Empire in the 14th century. China's Communist Party is above the law. This special class of citizens, about 90 million that rule over 1.4 billion Chinese. To sum up, instead of governing by the people, for the people. China's governing for the Communist Party, by the Communist Party. Just like a king in the old days. Xi, not just Xi, is China's king forever. If you got yourself entangled with any political issues or the law. You quickly learn how fair and impartial China's political systems and rules of law are. It's a jungle law where only the Party prevails at all costs.
Just need to make a point, don't blame China/Chinese people for the transfer/loss of US/Western manufacturing jobs, blame the greed of your capitalists. The Chinese worked hard under the CPC leadership who transformed China with its pragmatic economic policies and people centered political ideology. The Chinese deserve ALL the credits for their success of today.
Asi es, me da mucha risa cuando algunos americanos dicen que otros paises se robaron sus trabajos, cuando en realidad los dueños de las empresas movieron los trabajos a otros paises voluntariamente para aumentar ganancias.
And continue to be unwilling to spend money to re-establish manufacturing and retrain employees in their own country to bring back productive capacity... The Western nations blame China for their inept management of their domestic industries...
The evolution of the Chinese economy uses entrepreneurialism that is endemic to Chinese culture. China was at one time a leader in trading in the world. China has challenged itself constantly since becoming a modern state in 1949. China has adopted commonsense best modern practices to become the world´s first SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC MERITOCRACY. Ben Norton ´s rendition of this process is easy to follow. One part of Chinese growth has been the intervention of the government within the market socialistic system whereby wages are negotiated for periodic increases . This assures that the Chinese worker continues to grow economically year after year.
I haven't learned much with this video since I have lived and studied in China, but yet I'm deeply amazed by this 55 minutes worth hours, days, years of reading.
I disagree with the notion that China started rising after Mao and even the notion that reform and opening up started with Deng. That process was well underway in Mao's days
@ben! excellent vid as usual! 1 correction, china did experimented with liberal capitalism like the west, which was turned a fishing village into a city. however, thru out the years, china saw the root cause of the issue with liberal capitalism, so they abandoned the idea of implementing liberal capitalism all over china. this fishing village is well known - shenzhen! after they abandoned the idea of liberal capitalism, they started to improve the 2 sessions that started in 1959 into the political system of today's china, which is the chinese gov called - democracy with chinese characteristics. generically, it is - socialism democracy, a hybrid system of socialism and democracy.
I love your programs, Mr. Norton...they're like getting a college education in geopolitics. ☺️ I've been wondering what the US would do if China stopped exporting to the US. There wouldn't be anything to buy and it would take decades to rebuild our industrial and manufacturing bases. So maybe our crooked political duopoly should try to get along with China and not bite the hand that feeds them. But secretly, I'd love to see that happen. 🤣🤣
The students in the US are learning gender identities while those in China are studying hard to attain good grades to be admitted into prestigious universities!
You know a lot more than a Chinese about China, I am struggling with explaining the facts to the netizens of China about the Chinese ideology as your Video explained.
That's a sign of a good economy and political environment. Don't even need to be political because the government is actually doing it's job. I wish I could think like I did when I was a teen, but I'd be exploited
The "netizens of China" you mentioned is highly likely not real Chinese, but some ones hired to spread fake news about China mainland by the authority in Taiwan island. They are called 1450, which means the funding for this propogada is 1450 xxx.
I have little problem with the current economy, in fact it is exemplary. But looking to the past, the horrific violence that led to this economy, I fear future developments.
Highly appreciated, Ben. You did such a great job on not only the huge research and accurate analysis but, most importantly, your right perspective towards China without which your work would be ruined. I just want to add that the success of China is a complex combination of various factors that appear in a long period of time. Like the few great CCP leaders appeared in the right time and place. The support of long civilization as well as the silent majority. I'm looking forward to your more contribution and definitely recommend to my family and friends.
Not a word of Mao's murder of countless millions of his own people. Not a word about the ubiquitous human-rights abuses that pervade Chinese society. You can preach about the glories of Chinese Communism, but please excuse me while I hurl!
Mao will never be glorified. The Chinese realize how flawed their government system is. Xi will be just one of those has-beens. When it comes to deaths or wars raged on other peoples, China pales in comparison to England, the US, Germany, Japan...
I think China has been very sucessful through its goverment of fair play it has and deserves the credit it deserves , they are not the. Opressive country the news here continously. I wonder if people can see that. China is a great country and the Chinese people are very jonorable and trustworthy
As someone who was born in China I'm pretty happy with the direction China is going. Not saying everything is perfect, no country/system is perfect but I have confidence that the trajectory is upwards. i.e. my generation lives better than my parents', the next generation will live better than mine. This is what anyone can ask for in any country/system. Chinese believe every generation has its own goal/mission to accomplish and I think my parents' generation did accomplish theirs quite well. I hope mine can be equally as successful.
It fascinates me to see recent footage of China because I visited Beijing, Xian and Shanghai in 1989, and the changes that have taken place in the three decades since then are astonishing. China's development has been extraordinary.
I agree , Also visited HK China and Thailand ...2010 .... I was Like this place is awesome , the subway from the HK airport was so nice and clean nothing like the Western media .. some of the videos of tech today are so cool
@yzhang2008 I can see that from recent pictures of the cities I visited. They have been completely transformed. I would love to visit China again but I know it will be entirely different to how it was in 1989.
what is even more astonishing or perhaps absurd when compared to the west esp U$UK both wealthiest nations on earth, yet their debt has overtaken their GDP, both had poured billions into wars instead of improving social care/programme, rising inflation, food, fuel, unemployment, increasing poverty and shrinking of the middle class, is evidence things have not really changed in 3 decades.
India allowed foreign companies to come and establish industry. The worst outcome of this is exemplified by Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 when a gas leak from a plant set by Union Carbide caused thousands of people to die in a single day. Exploitation at its worst. India has become a worst capitalist. Recently Farmers in India put up a huge protest as Indian government allowed Monsanto to enter India and ruin large portions of land. Indian people are really unhappy and our government completely aligns with US is it’s war against China. I wish India instead joins China to make Global south strong and break US hegemony.
China invades India and kills our people for no reason. How can we join China ? We are not going to give them land or anything else. This is not friendship mentality. It is a conquest mentality.
Will be good for the world if the two oldest civilisations can work together. But too sad, there are corrupt Indian politicians that are against it and instead kissed the Yankees' ass. Just like Ukraine's war with Russia, who benefits the most? If India and China ever go to war again, only country that benefit from this conflict will be the US/Western powers.
It's too late, democracy system is shown to be not a final form of government that actually benefits majority of people, it turns out democracy is just another gov that allows the wealthy to control the government.
India should stay away from China. How many Chinese companies have been cheated by the Indian government. No country or company is willing to cooperate with India, which has no reputation.
Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

You explained Chinese recent history, politics and economics accurately. It’s amazing that a foreign journalist could explain the complicated movement having occurred in China so well.
He forgot to mention the us was a big reason for chinas economic growth, chinas years of economic decline, it’s unemployment being high, corruption that gets swept under the rug, investors highly suspect of their economy, big declines in exports, big decline in imports to make export products, a real estate market that’s on the ropes after a bailout
What an amazing channel. Watched the full 55 minutes in one go and even had to replay some parts to fully understand it. Fantastic job. How you do not have over a million subscribers I will never know. But, at least you're on the way to it. All the best.
The best part of China's growth is that China has done it without endless wars, regime changes, sanction, subversive foreign interference. China's trade and investments are welcome by emerging economies as impetus to their own economic developments. On the other hand, US has been only interested in exploiting the resources of emerging economies leaving them perpetually poor and in debt to IMF and the World Bank without the prospect of recovering.
It should be noted that China has held the status of being the largest and most wealthy economy 4 times in history. Not only that but China also held the position of being the most technological society also in those 4 periods. So it should be not a rise to economic prominence. But a return to the world as a economic powerhouse.
agree,they lost their status of wealthy country, just because they cant defend their country, and they learned from it, thats why they invest more in defense
Agree. China was a wealthy and advanced nation in the past until 8 western countries came to colonize and loot all money from China. China is now RETURING to its wealthy advanced nation status. China and Chinese people must remember the past painful lession of being invaded and colonized in order to protect China forever from being invaded and colonized happening again
The problem is that, during those times of economic prosperity, the Chinese never put an emphasis on protecting said prosperity with an organized and up to date military 😂 I think maybe the Chinese have learned their lesson. Peace should be the goal but always have the ability to destroy your enemy - ie, work towards peace but plan for war.
mutual non-interference policy, to be exact, which means: (1) China will never interfere with other's internal business if it's internal business is not interfered by the other party, (2) if interference were posed by the other party, Chinese interference is an option. Trust me you don't want to know how Chinese interference feel like.
@@therealdeal2163no no China is the Empire, who brought stability and order after the corruption of the Republic. The US is the Rebel Alliance, who preach freedom but are willing to collaborate with slavers like the Hutts.
in 2015, when i traveled in China, i found Xi jinping's "Principles of Governance" in every bookshop, public library. in the libraries, i often saw senior citizens (retired men had nothing better to do), heads down reading the Xi's book while taking handwritten notes on the side. i got curious, so i grabbed a copy from the shelf and started reading. Xi talked about how China has three "advantages" in competing with the world, in particular "system advantage", "principle advantage" and "cultural advantage", at the time i was an "American Exceptionalism" faithful and i thought Xi was "propaganda". but today, i realized Xi was telling the truth. indeed, china has a "system advantage", "principle (or political ideology) advantage" and "cultural (culture of work ethics) advantage".
Well said. A blind person can see we have burdened ourselves with a dysfunctional culture. Corruption and violence and lazy intellect and celebrity worship. All self inflicted, with the help of the MSM.
Great that you learned from real experience. I respect your respect for Truth. As a Chinese in America I can honestly tell you American also have many great advantages, including the abundant natural resources, the freest society that attracts the best talents and most ambitious people from all around world (brain-gain), the most innovative capitalist system, the best global alliance, the most powerful military, the Global reserve currency etc. etc. I see the best outcome for the world as two superior systems peacefully competing with each other. Of course there is also a danger of Real War.
Honestly if you’re visit CHINA IN 2015 & you not see how AMAZING CHINA DEVELOPED WELL, HOW UNBELIEVABLE CHINA TRANFER FROM POOR COUNTRY TO THIS SUCCESSFUL LEVELS. Then your visit is fails!! IM NOT CHINESE BUT AS THEIR NEIGHBORS COUNTRY WE KNOW THEM BETTER THAN ANYONE. China growing rapidly not just ECONOMY. To understand why & how CHINA DEVELOPED LIKE THIS? SUCCESSFUL LIKE THIS? It must know their POLICY SYSTEM. In US & WESTERN. After new President enter the POWERFUL HOUSE - they can create news laws. But in CHINA, no matter who become leader - they’re hardly to changing new laws, it all about systems. India was big as China, same population & open free trade with US & WESTERN LONGER THAN CHINA. But look how they’re today? They’re left behinds China for long road. IN INDIAN ELITE CLASS EVEN HAVE GOLDEN TOILETS & JEWELRY DIAMOND SPOONS BUT THEIR PPL IS HUNGRY, POOR. Elite & Royal class to RICH CLASS IN INDIA OF COURSE CAN LIVIN GOOD & have nothing to complain. But middle class to low/poor class is suffering. Special lower/labor workers class is suffering like hell, because CLASS GAP IN INDIA IS TOO STRONG & RIDICULOUSLY!! Poor areas, kid is hungry to go shools, have no roads to walk to shools, hospital is terrible. While in CHINA, GORVEMENT PUSHING ON EDUCATION & EDUCATION NONSTOP!! Poor & rural kids have special laws to keep them get education free. Gorvement building shools in any poor villagers in countryside & rural or even in high mountains. China gorvement build roads & bridges even for small villages so they can CONNECT TO TOWN & CITIES. They can moves there to working or sell their products then comeback home fast & easy. NATIONAL HEALTHY INSURANCE IS CHEAP & MAKE SURE EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO BUY IT. If they’re poor & minorities they have FREE HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. In China, new roads/highway, bridges is update & building every years US & WESTERN ALWAYS TAPK ABOUT CHINA CORRUPT BUT THEYRE THE MOST CORRUPT & LAZY. If citizens reports about how bad roads is, they’re not fix it. WHILE IN CHINA, it done fast & easily. CHINA ALSO KNOW AS BUSSINESS MINDSET PEOPLE. They have good economic bussiness zones for everyone & investors. GORVEMENT CREATE FAIR & SAFETY ECONOMIC ZONE FOR EVERYONE & FORIGNERS INVEST!! They’re also DARE TO FIX SOME LAWS IF IT NEED & IT GOOD DEALS. They’re flexible, while in US & WESTERN IT VERY SLOW & TAKE ALOTS PAPER & VERY ARROGANT!!
The most GREAR PART IS CHINA HAVE STRICT LAWS ON DRUGS & CRIMES TO PROTECT LAW ABIDING ORDINARY PEOPLE!! While in US & WESTERN THEYRE GOVE DRUGGIES ZOMBIES, DRUGGIES THUGS, GUNPOINT ROBBERY, THRIVES & CRIMINALS TOO MUCH FREEDOM, TOO MUCH HUMAN RIGHTS MORE THAN ORDINARY CITIZENS!! US & Western law system is SUPPOSED & PROTECT DRUGS & CRIMINALS BY LEGAL LAWS!! Us & West always use “FREEDOM & HUMAN RIGHT” as excuse reason to protect criminals to make them avoid lifetimes or avoid dead penalty!! But they’re INHUMANE & CRUELTY TO VICTIMS & LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!! This is ridiculous stupid & bullshit!! Freedom & human rights is not mean let thugs & criminals can do anything they want, even they’re hurt & destroy & affect everyone life. THIS IS NOT FREEDOM & HUMAN RIGHTS MEANING!!

US & WESTERN MEDIA IS SUCCESSFUL AT BRAINWASHED THEIR PEOPLE & YOUNG GENERATION.
Great video! If only the average American would understand everything that was mentioned here and thus will understand it was not China but the US as the caused for their own demise. This way the US as a whole can work on untangling the internal issues at hand rather than just blaming and demonizing China.
Women’s right also improved after the 1949 revolution. My grandma was sold as a child bride to a one year old baby boy. She worked as his nanny until the day he grow up. She was only 7 by then. After 1949, the new government sent women’s association members to her village and told her that the contract sold her was void and no person should be sold like that anymore. She then went back to her home and announced that she was no longer a future bride but a sister to the little groom. To improve her situation at home, the women’s Association also taught her read and write so she could be independent. It took the women’s Association years to educate women’s freedom in China and they worked restlessly in the beginning because they were working against thousands of years of Chinese tradition.
Awesome move tiwards a people centred society...i am in awe of China...having a Chinese ancestor..my grandfather...i always am proud of my heritage...such hardworking and resilient people.
After the founding of the PRC, China also did land reform, liberation of women, reduction of illiteracy, eradication of opium use and prostitution, and other social reforms. Although China was still poor, the society was very different from that of most developing countries. When China started the economic reform, the country had a well organized, relatively healthy, and reasonably educated population.
You are right. The foundations built by China's early civil society are often ignored. Comparing it to India, we know the importance of these grassroots systems and movements.
cultural and social reform, something that has always been more important than economic reform in the east vs. the west, which is an individualist society
Yes, that's correct. They prepared the superstructure with the same focus on the economic base, and then, they kept more focused on the productive forces. Everything was a continuation, and I agree, if we will change things, they need to improve the conditions for the working class, and opening the country as market socialism was the way to improve material conditions for everybody, locally, and worldwide.
Yes, unlike the fake news you see in US mainstream media! Now they are silencing those who reveal US’s crimes on YT, Facebook, and other social media! I don’t know how much longer the US propaganda machine will allow people to post videos about bad things that are going on in the US, but I have seen an episode on CNN whose panel said they want the US government to censor every comment on YT, Facebook, Twitter, etc to make sure no negative comments or contents that reveal negative things about the US would be allowed! When that happened the entire freedom of speech thing in the US would become one big bullshit!
Agreed ! Most of the news out from America are false and fake news ! It proves the American are not well travelled ! That's the reason they are easily manipulated by their news and government !
As you correctly pointed out, western industrialists have the option of walking away from any deal involving technology transfers. Nobody put a gun to their head to agree. But these industrialist leaders in their greed agreed and then the come out to spread the lie that China stole their secrets, just to cover up their greed. Thank you for an accurate and informative discussion. Love your backing up your hypothesis with graphs and facts. As I always said, as soon as any company or country begins to depend on financial shenanigans for it's wealth it's going to decline. When I heard that Toyota made more money from car financing than making cars, I knew the end is nigh. Just like GM or Ford and many other US car makers 😂😂😂 But at the same time the US capitalists wanted to destroy the unions which they succeeded. So what are they complaining about. They captured the US government turning it to be a government of the corporations for the corporations by the corporations, culminating in the capture of the supreme court resulting in so called Citizen United, where he who has more $ has more say 😂😂😂
If I am the CEO, I would do the same. Otherwise the shareholders of the company will replace me with someone else. You get no thanks for doing the right thing, so why bother.
@@dand4075 exactly. Isn't the capitalist system wonderful as you live quarterly. As long as I meet the stock price target and get my bonus as the company goes to the ground. The the last one who holds the bag problem. Amirite?? 😂😂😂
it is a west-centric perspective. the west steals also (e.g. plane radars in 1980s from ussr). cyber attacks are an american specialty. china has almost as much new patents as the whole west.
"and then the come out to spread the lie that China stole their secrets, just to cover up their greed. " Not a very good of acceptable lie because if they would have kept there secrets they would have never have it to benefit us as a whole but like a good kapitalist keep it for them selfs.
Thank you Ben for such a wonderful, well prepared and informative lecture on the subject. You are my favorite on YT overnight! A quality channel that I will recommend unreservedly to all .

Thank you, Ben Norton, for a very interesting analysis of how China rose to become a great economic power following the socialist system and how the US made a mistake of following a totally liberal free market policy with disastrous results. A very detailed analysis showing how one country rose and another went down. The effects are what we are seeing today - China with its gleaming buildings, high-speed trains, highways, strong manufacturing base, rising GDP, etc while the US is hollowing out with the only focus on building up its military (an unproductive industry which just sucks money from the national budget). Behind the rise of China are the clear socialist policies implemented by the Chinese government to bring up the economy of the country while the US tried to run the country via "the best democracy money can buy". The results are very clear to see. A very interesting and detailed analysis, one which I need to watch a second time to understand more fully what Ben is putting across.
Those are not socialist policies though, China is still at the stage of state-capitalism. All ee can say is they're on the right path and they seem to have good plans for reaching actual socialism.
@d0nj03 Their plan isn't to reach socialism, it's to reach communism. The reason they've allowed markets is because the world is still overwhelmingly capitalist, or at least, run by capitalists. To grow their productive forces, they couldn't grow socialism in a box. While private sectors and large inequality exists, the country is not controlled by capital. The reality is that a purely socialist economy has never been able to thrive in the current socioeconomic climate of the world. Abandoning dogmatic doctrine for a flexible approach on the long road to communism is undeniably doing very well for them. If/when we see the western imperialism fade as multipolarity rises, I think we can expect to see China move towards abolishing more and more of the private sectors of their economy.
@@Ryan_hey Well traditionally it's seen as a necessary stage before full communism. And I know why they're doing it this way, I have no issue with that, just pointing out they're not there yet. (And anytime you're not there yet there's still a possibility of losing your way - overly comfy and technology-spoiled CEOs and city kids could start crying for more liberalism and individualism and push for a sort of Dengist direction again, which would be a huge leap backward.)
It definitely deserves a second and a third viewing. Ben is simply unbeatable with his clarity, his ability to organise material into an organic flow, and his wealth of knowledge, too.
Not many know China is also the power house of infrastructure. China gained huge experience from building itself for the last 40 years and also benefited from building mega projects on different climates(deserts, permafrost), geographic locations(ravines, long sea crossing bridges).
Everything is falling apart. As soon as Three Gorges dam bursts a huge area will be finished. Sad but bribes and lack of inspectors has caught up to china's construction boom 💥
China has been an the powerhouse of infrastructure development since the ancient time. Just look the massive the Great Wall of China, the Great Canal, and the Qin Highway which were all built more than 2 thousand years ago.
Saying China steals our technology is like saying the performer at a concert stole your money. You agree to hand over a certain amount of money to watch them perform. It's not theft. The same goes with doing business in China. You agree to hand over technology in order to set up an enterprise in China. Americans hate paying for stuff. They feel entitled to do business in China and write their own rules.
Also, keep in mind that our species "superpower" is sharing knowledge. Learning from others and then improving from there is how you get better and better.
@andresgarciacastro1783 in the United States, it's perfectly acceptable for 5 individuals to own the majority of the wealth. Not all people around the world share that mentality. There's no religious basis for it. There's no moral reason for it. It's a system imposed on the American people by selfish people over generations and promoted by our schools and media from an early age. Americans can not understand countries that seek cooperation. Americans assume everyone aspires to the system we have, dog eat dog, winner take all, and therefore we see see rivals and enemies around every corner. The US is mentally ill. It is sociopathic, and it believes it's sociopathy is the norm. That makes for an extremely dangerous world. Sociologically healthy nations are in constant danger when a psychopath runs amok as we are constantly witnessing.

For a fact many in the west looks down on China ability to do better but they underestimate China ability to outperform them. That is why they accuse China of stealing technology from the west. That is not true.
extremely insightful and in-depth analysis and explanation of the fundamental principles behind PRC, highly recommended. A super and extremely useful report.
The question is not whether or not the economy is planned, it needs to be planned. The question is by whom it will be planned, by unelected private bankers or by elected governments. The worst part of US neoliberal policies is the brutal destruction of its industrial competitive capacity and impoverishment of it's own workforce by financial exploitation.
Oh, you get the point, the China is planned by government, but this gov is some strange to western world. It’s not simple unelected gov, it’s consist of China ancient idea. Officer selected by examination.
It has to done in a sense, if US did not import or use foreign countries as production the US would have sink in the early 2000s, it is arguable , that would also created a short economic down fall and a another 10-20 years of prosperity. China would not rise so fast as well as they would lack the capital from US. But considering if US did not use China,Europe would have so the ending would be the same but may be a decade slower, with a stronger Europe and weaker US.
Really well researched and presented. I am very pleased and impressed by your scope of knowledge and presentation of these facts. I plan to write an article based on some of your findings.
As a Chinese person born in Taiwan in 1985. I would like to point out a few other points. The century of shame to large extend was ended in 1911 when the Sun Yat-sen；Father of modern China overthrew Qing dynasty. He was very vocal in pushing for modernization of China industries and trying to fully bring the regional warlords into a cohesive government. 1945 marked the full liberation of China from imperialist colonial powers (Japan). And in 1949 the civil war marked the almost total reunification if China, the warlords were destroyed, disbanded, or pledged loyalty to the central government. There was only a few piece of China that was still controlled by other administrations, such as Taiwan Provice by Nationalist remnants, Macao, Hong Kong due to land lease aggreements. I look forward to the day Taiwan, the last missing piece of China can rejoin the motherland.
It will eventually happen at some point in history. Look no further at Austria in 1954, Vietnam in 1976, Germany in 1989. Taiwan will eventually reunite at some point, as well as North & South Korea which has been divided by the Truman Administration as a favor to Joseph Stalin since August 10, 1945 via China's belt and road initiatives instead of these USA's endless regime change wars which never worked as intended.
I love my Chinese compatriots from Taiwan, the first time I met some and made friends with them was when I went to the West to study 20 years ago. There is no doubt we are the same people sharing the same culture, (speaking the same language). I really hope they are not bought into the US lies and potentially used as tools to contain China. I hope for peaceful reunification to happen asap
Whether or not the century of humiliation ended in 1911 or 1949, the west today is determined that it doesn't end ever. Keeping China down so the west is up is now the imperative priority of the powers that control the west.
The general answer is quite simple really. The Hegemonic US spent most of its focus, time, and resources invading or destabilizing other countries that did not accept its World Domination under the American rule-based international order. Whereas, China spent its focus, time, and resources building its infrastructure, economy, trade, and BRI in other countries under Mutual Respect Mutual Benefits, and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries
@jaguarnordestino Yeah...now they must pay back a $35 TRILLION Dollar loan back for all this rebuilding to the private sector. I bet you had no clue about that....and too date they already defaulted on some of those loans.
@@tonytaylor4545That's paltry compared to Uncle Sam with its 37 TRILLION debts and unending printing of fake money witn nothing to back those money except DEBTS which they kept pushing onto many poor and weak nations. Nothing more than belligerent parasite.
Always great content, Ben. Could you please address the growing discontent of India and attempting to slow down its partners in SCO and BRICS because of its hate for China and its regretable love for the U.S?
European power appears to be returning to its precolonial state. It will be interesting to see the 'talent' and 'innovation' of Europe without the brutality of aggressive military or economic conquest. I think Europe might have a few tricks left. It has, after all, amassed a great number of advantages from former conquest that continue to bear fruit. There is always, however, disadvantages that are budding at the same time. China has problems, but it does not have the problems the collective 'West' has. I surmise that the legacy of the West will haunt it forever.
Many thanks for the outstanding video, Ben. It clarified a lot of questions I had about “different” models of socialism, not to mention that the ironies you pointed out were brilliant, etc. In a nutshell, it shed new lights to many aspects of the nuts and bolts about what China really represents today. It is like a complement of an article written by Pepe Escobar a few years ago called “The Deeper Roots of Chinese Demonization”. Despite being long, the video was worthy every minute but still, you provided well-concise information for a topic that could take hours. Well done!
TOtally agree. It the western imperial colonizers invaded and looted allof China's wealth and drugged the people to death. And then they sanctioned China to starvation and death. And yet the colonial imperialists blame that on communism and Mao in China. LOL.
I'm really impressed with the quality of the content and the facts known here. You guys know more than all the so called "China experts" on CNN/Fox/MSN/BBC/MSN/Reuters/Bloomberg/etc.. put together!
Thank you for this episode. You’ve explained a complicated modern history and current situation of the U.S. and China in a very clear and down-to-earth way, with lots of research, quotes and data. Your work is much appreciated Keep on the Good work!
In fact, at that time, China had already completed the system of education, politics, economy, military industry, aerospace, industrial manufacturing foundation, laws and regulations, infrastructure construction and other aspects and fields, laying all the foundations for large-scale production of light industry, while capitalists in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and other countries and regions moved low-end factories to China in order to pursue more profits and development and market. China's achievements have been achieved at the expense of the health of the people and the savings of generations of hard-earned money, don't forget how much money and profits the West has made in China exploiting and exploiting the Chinese people for decades and how they have been able to keep the price level steady and inflate and enjoy Chinese goods and products for years with their printed money and so on. And don't forget how China, the world's richest country, was invaded, colonized, plundered, divided up wealth, energy, food, resources, cultural relics, books, etc., built banks to control the financial industry, China's currency and high interest made the Chinese government sign a large amount of reparations in the war, Control the ports, trade with the outside world, territorial concessions, keep the Chinese out of their own territory, establish spheres of influence, proxy comprador warlords, bureaucratic divisions, and so on to exploit China and turn it into the poorest country in the world? Now, China has industrialized through the hard work of its own generations, saving money, being commercialized by the capitalization of state land, investing in infrastructure, investing in talent, education, culture, etc. While Westerners have exploited and exploited sweatshops to work for the world for decades to produce high-quality and inexpensive products while Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries make a pot full of profits and take most of the profits, maintain the inflation rate of developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan and the price level is stable, and ordinary people around the world can use high-quality and inexpensive industrial products and technological products, etc., On the other hand, China relies on Chinese people to accumulate capital one by one, and then continue to research and develop scientific research and education talents, and invest in training a big country to complete the modernization of the country.
Something that I find very interesting is that common people around the globe have stopped viewing the us as the world's superpower for quite a while now. And I am not sure that Americans are aware of this.
A big majority of the populace in the US, UK, Australia etc enjoy reading articles and propaganda denigrating China/Chinese. You can see the evidence in the humongous number of views and likes when certain yt channels, alt Western media and msm publish/air the anti-China/Chinese denigrating videos. Various surveys on whether there should be war by the West with China over Taiwan - had the results of 65% to 70%+ of respondents saying YES to war with China.
Well done Ben Norton. The truth is finally out there is no question about China's successful development today and USA declining development in the country. China government and people work hard for decades for modernisation of the country. USA need to learn from China and not use sanction to deprived China's growth especially the technology.
Thanks for your work comrade ❤ I just want to point out that the word "industrial" in its greek origin mean "hard work" so i think in Marxist literature it means productive as opposition to unproductive (rentier class). So developing industrial capacity means developing production.(wether its agricultural, manufactural or even intellectual [they all enhance each other in a dialectical manner]) Another note : the proliteriat means people who dont poses the means of production (not only factory workers or blue collar jobs but also intellectual workers : doctors, engineers, teachers... And finally peseants) A final note. In one of his works Marx described peasents as idiots. It doesnt mean idiot as in stupid or mentally deficient but it means politically apathetic
Apparently President Xi of China has some concern that young Chinese, well fed & happy with their life are becoming politically apathetic. He wants to find ways to engage them in dialog, debate & innovative critical thinking. Now THAT is planning ahead!
It is gone, we lived through the zenith of our time.The corrupt government will take down this country like what happened to Rome. My condolence for anyone approaching retirement you may have concerns over whether your pension pot will stretch to cover the rising costs of living. Bad energy policy, bad foreign policy, bad regulatory policy , and insane fiscal policy

Another excellent and informative video by Ben clearly explaining the rise of China and showcasing the world an alternative to govern and alleviate poverty
It needs very steady and efficient government to get the achievements, but in the world lots of policies of the current government would be overthrow by the next government due to election.
WTF are you talking about. Alternative to govern to Communism? Its ideology is death. China is what it is now because they allow their people to dictate their own enterprise destiny. Besides free enterprises, everything else very much reflects the modern form of "red" imperialism. Just like the Chinese Empire in the 14th century. China's Communist Party is above the law. This special class of citizens, about 90 million that rule over 1.4 billion Chinese. To sum up, instead of governing by the people, for the people. China's governing for the Communist Party, by the Communist Party. Just like a king in the old days. Xi, not just Xi, is China's king forever. If you got yourself entangled with any political issues or the law. You quickly learn how fair and impartial China's political systems and rules of law are. It's a jungle law where only the Party prevails at all costs.
Yo bro 🎉
Just need to make a point, don't blame China/Chinese people for the transfer/loss of US/Western manufacturing jobs, blame the greed of your capitalists. The Chinese worked hard under the CPC leadership who transformed China with its pragmatic economic policies and people centered political ideology. The Chinese deserve ALL the credits for their success of today.
Asi es, me da mucha risa cuando algunos americanos dicen que otros paises se robaron sus trabajos, cuando en realidad los dueños de las empresas movieron los trabajos a otros paises voluntariamente para aumentar ganancias.
And continue to be unwilling to spend money to re-establish manufacturing and retrain employees in their own country to bring back productive capacity... The Western nations blame China for their inept management of their domestic industries...

Outstanding journalistic work, as always! Thank you very much Ben for that!
Great work! This presentation is comprehensive to say the least - geopolitics, economy, history, politics, sociology, culture
做为一个普通的中国人，我想说的是：1）中国人是世界上最勤劳的人民，我们一天的工作的时间可能是外国人的两倍，但我们得到的可能还远远不如外国人；2）中国人是最好学的人民，也是最重视教育的人民，第个家庭都为教育投入最多的资源；3）中国人是最能吃苦的人民，在任何恶劣的环境里都有中国人工作的身影；4）外国资本在中国赚取的利润远远超过它们在其它国家赚取的利润，美国对中国进行技术封锁不是美国公司在中国不嫌钱了，而的他们想赚得更多，永远赚下去，而中国人只能做苦力。试想一下，如果马斯克不来中国设厂，现在他可能已经破产了。5）如果没有中国这30年来的贡献，全世界人民的生活水平可能都倒退1/5，中国从与世界的合作中受益，世界也从中国的发展中获益。中国希望与世界和平相处，合作共赢！
Excellent Ben!!!!
China is a great country..on its own feet...love and adore this country and its people..❤🥇🇨🇳❤️❤️❤️❤️
The truth hurts. Politicians won’t faced the problems.
From 1950 to 1960. People in Chinese died of hunger. It was very poor.
great research, presentstion and discussion Ben...tnx for sharing
The evolution of the Chinese economy uses entrepreneurialism that is endemic to Chinese culture. China was at one time a leader in trading in the world. China has challenged itself constantly since becoming a modern state in 1949. China has adopted commonsense best modern practices to become the world´s first SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC MERITOCRACY. Ben Norton ´s rendition of this process is easy to follow. One part of Chinese growth has been the intervention of the government within the market socialistic system whereby wages are negotiated for periodic increases . This assures that the Chinese worker continues to grow economically year after year.
Ben is the best!
Hit the nail on the head. RIP USA.
I haven't learned much with this video since I have lived and studied in China, but yet I'm deeply amazed by this 55 minutes worth hours, days, years of reading.
Thank you Ben very much for this analysis. This kind of work is unique💯
Very good and informative video. I like the fact that it is not filled with anti-China or anti-Socialism propaganda!
I disagree with the notion that China started rising after Mao and even the notion that reform and opening up started with Deng.
That process was well underway in Mao's days
Life is like a wheel that rotates.
Damn...that was an hour of presentation non stop. Good job
A great family, truly rare now a days. 😢😢
Well researched analysis! Thumbs up😅
THANKS FOR UR VERY CLEAR N CORRECT ANALYSIS. MAY GOD BLESS U ALWAYS.
@ben!
excellent vid as usual!
1 correction, china did experimented with liberal capitalism like the west, which was turned a fishing village into a city. however, thru out the years, china saw the root cause of the issue with liberal capitalism, so they abandoned the idea of implementing liberal capitalism all over china. this fishing village is well known - shenzhen!
after they abandoned the idea of liberal capitalism, they started to improve the 2 sessions that started in 1959 into the political system of today's china, which is the chinese gov called - democracy with chinese characteristics. generically, it is - socialism democracy, a hybrid system of socialism and democracy.
Thank you for your excellent discussion. I understand better now. 👍
I love your programs, Mr. Norton...they're like getting a college education in geopolitics. ☺️
I've been wondering what the US would do if China stopped exporting to the US. There wouldn't be anything to buy and it would take decades to rebuild our industrial and manufacturing bases.
So maybe our crooked political duopoly should try to get along with China and not bite the hand that feeds them.
But secretly, I'd love to see that happen. 🤣🤣
In that case, the US would simply cease to exist. Inflation would certainly beat the numbers set by Weimar. Civil wars would ensue.
The students in the US are learning gender identities while those in China are studying hard to attain good grades to be admitted into prestigious universities!
Your pronunciation is crystal clear. Your mind is as well.
You know a lot more than a Chinese about China, I am struggling with explaining the facts to the netizens of China about the Chinese ideology as your Video explained.
That's a sign of a good economy and political environment. Don't even need to be political because the government is actually doing it's job. I wish I could think like I did when I was a teen, but I'd be exploited
What do Chinese netizens think?
The "netizens of China" you mentioned is highly likely not real Chinese, but some ones hired to spread fake news about China mainland by the authority in Taiwan island. They are called 1450, which means the funding for this propogada is 1450 xxx.

Great video and thanks for your work.
Great job as usual! \m/
Highly appreciated, Ben. You did such a great job on not only the huge research and accurate analysis but, most importantly, your right perspective towards China without which your work would be ruined. I just want to add that the success of China is a complex combination of various factors that appear in a long period of time. Like the few great CCP leaders appeared in the right time and place. The support of long civilization as well as the silent majority. I'm looking forward to your more contribution and definitely recommend to my family and friends.
Not a word of Mao's murder of countless millions of his own people. Not a word about the ubiquitous human-rights abuses that pervade Chinese society. You can preach about the glories of Chinese Communism, but please excuse me while I hurl!
Mao will never be glorified. The Chinese realize how flawed their government system is. Xi will be just one of those has-beens. When it comes to deaths or wars raged on other peoples, China pales in comparison to England, the US, Germany, Japan...
You are excellent!
Excellent presentation and analysis ❤

Great content btw
I think China has been very sucessful through its goverment of fair play it has and deserves the credit it deserves , they are not the. Opressive country the news here continously. I wonder if people can see that. China is a great country and the Chinese people are very jonorable and trustworthy
Awesome,
Objective and insightful analysis.
We trust china had learned from history....imperative the country has to be economically and militarily strong.
China has a whole mass of problems as well.
Love this videos
As someone who was born in China I'm pretty happy with the direction China is going. Not saying everything is perfect, no country/system is perfect but I have confidence that the trajectory is upwards. i.e. my generation lives better than my parents', the next generation will live better than mine. This is what anyone can ask for in any country/system.
Chinese believe every generation has its own goal/mission to accomplish and I think my parents' generation did accomplish theirs quite well. I hope mine can be equally as successful.

It fascinates me to see recent footage of China because I visited Beijing, Xian and Shanghai in 1989, and the changes that have taken place in the three decades since then are astonishing. China's development has been extraordinary.
I agree , Also visited HK China and Thailand ...2010 .... I was Like this place is awesome , the subway from the HK airport was so nice and clean
nothing like the Western media ..
some of the videos of tech today are so cool
If you visit China again, you’ll find you’re visiting a totally different country.
@yzhang2008 I can see that from recent pictures of the cities I visited. They have been completely transformed. I would love to visit China again but I know it will be entirely different to how it was in 1989.
@@TeddyclawsWalk East channel has videos of small and big cities walk in China
what is even more astonishing or perhaps absurd when compared to the west esp U$UK both wealthiest nations on earth, yet their debt has overtaken their GDP, both had poured billions into wars instead of improving social care/programme, rising inflation, food, fuel, unemployment, increasing poverty and shrinking of the middle class, is evidence things have not really changed in 3 decades.
India allowed foreign companies to come and establish industry. The worst outcome of this is exemplified by Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 when a gas leak from a plant set by Union Carbide caused thousands of people to die in a single day. Exploitation at its worst. India has become a worst capitalist. Recently Farmers in India put up a huge protest as Indian government allowed Monsanto to enter India and ruin large portions of land. Indian people are really unhappy and our government completely aligns with US is it’s war against China. I wish India instead joins China to make Global south strong and break US hegemony.
China invades India and kills our people for no reason. How can we join China ?
We are not going to give them land or anything else. This is not friendship mentality. It is a conquest mentality.
Will be good for the world if the two oldest civilisations can work together. But too sad, there are corrupt Indian politicians that are against it and instead kissed the Yankees' ass. Just like Ukraine's war with Russia, who benefits the most? If India and China ever go to war again, only country that benefit from this conflict will be the US/Western powers.
It's too late, democracy system is shown to be not a final form of government that actually benefits majority of people, it turns out democracy is just another gov that allows the wealthy to control the government.
India should stay away from China. How many Chinese companies have been cheated by the Indian government. No country or company is willing to cooperate with India, which has no reputation.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩Understand.
Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

You explained Chinese recent history, politics and economics accurately. It’s amazing that a foreign journalist could explain the complicated movement having occurred in China so well.
I have not found another Westerner who has this much understandings of China as Ben, he has done his research thoroughly that is for sure.
I may cite one, the best economist in the world nowadays: Michael Hudson. He's appeared here.
He forgot to mention the us was a big reason for chinas economic growth, chinas years of economic decline, it’s unemployment being high, corruption that gets swept under the rug, investors highly suspect of their economy, big declines in exports, big decline in imports to make export products, a real estate market that’s on the ropes after a bailout

The best part of China's growth is that China has done it without endless wars, regime changes, sanction, subversive foreign interference.
China's trade and investments are welcome by emerging economies as impetus to their own economic developments.
On the other hand, US has been only interested in exploiting the resources of emerging economies leaving them perpetually poor and in debt to IMF and the World Bank without the prospect of recovering.
It should be noted that China has held the status of being the largest and most wealthy economy 4 times in history. Not only that but China also held the position of being the most technological society also in those 4 periods. So it should be not a rise to economic prominence. But a return to the world as a economic powerhouse.
agree,they lost their status of wealthy country, just because they cant defend their country, and they learned from it, thats why they invest more in defense
Agree. China was a wealthy and advanced nation in the past until 8 western countries came to colonize and loot all money from China. China is now RETURING to its wealthy advanced nation status. China and Chinese people must remember the past painful lession of being invaded and colonized in order to protect China forever from being invaded and colonized happening again
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Wave media has a video: Why China was never wiped out like all other ancient civilizations?
The problem is that, during those times of economic prosperity, the Chinese never put an emphasis on protecting said prosperity with an organized and up to date military 😂
I think maybe the Chinese have learned their lesson. Peace should be the goal but always have the ability to destroy your enemy - ie, work towards peace but plan for war.

in 2015, when i traveled in China, i found Xi jinping's "Principles of Governance" in every bookshop, public library. in the libraries, i often saw senior citizens (retired men had nothing better to do), heads down reading the Xi's book while taking handwritten notes on the side. i got curious, so i grabbed a copy from the shelf and started reading. Xi talked about how China has three "advantages" in competing with the world, in particular "system advantage", "principle advantage" and "cultural advantage", at the time i was an "American Exceptionalism" faithful and i thought Xi was "propaganda". but today, i realized Xi was telling the truth. indeed, china has a "system advantage", "principle (or political ideology) advantage" and "cultural (culture of work ethics) advantage".
Well said. A blind person can see we have burdened ourselves with a dysfunctional culture. Corruption and violence and lazy intellect and celebrity worship.

But in CHINA, no matter who become leader - they’re hardly to changing new laws, it all about systems.

While in CHINA, GORVEMENT PUSHING ON EDUCATION & EDUCATION NONSTOP!! Poor & rural kids have special laws to keep them get education free. Gorvement building shools in any poor villagers in countryside & rural or even in high mountains.
China gorvement build roads & bridges even for small villages so they can CONNECT TO TOWN & CITIES. They can moves there to working or sell their products then comeback home fast & easy.
NATIONAL HEALTHY INSURANCE IS CHEAP & MAKE SURE EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO BUY IT.

Women’s right also improved after the 1949 revolution. My grandma was sold as a child bride to a one year old baby boy. She worked as his nanny until the day he grow up. She was only 7 by then. After 1949, the new government sent women’s association members to her village and told her that the contract sold her was void and no person should be sold like that anymore. She then went back to her home and announced that she was no longer a future bride but a sister to the little groom. To improve her situation at home, the women’s Association also taught her read and write so she could be independent. It took the women’s Association years to educate women’s freedom in China and they worked restlessly in the beginning because they were working against thousands of years of Chinese tradition.
Awesome move tiwards a people centred society...i am in awe of China...having a Chinese ancestor..my grandfather...i always am proud of my heritage...such hardworking and resilient people.
After the founding of the PRC, China also did land reform, liberation of women, reduction of illiteracy, eradication of opium use and prostitution, and other social reforms. Although China was still poor, the society was very different from that of most developing countries. When China started the economic reform, the country had a well organized, relatively healthy, and reasonably educated population.
Okay. It also had a road map. Japan. And Japan's road map (via Deming) came from the US.
You are right. The foundations built by China's early civil society are often ignored. Comparing it to India, we know the importance of these grassroots systems and movements.
cultural and social reform, something that has always been more important than economic reform in the east vs. the west, which is an individualist society
Yes, that's correct. They prepared the superstructure with the same focus on the economic base, and then, they kept more focused on the productive forces. Everything was a continuation, and I agree, if we will change things, they need to improve the conditions for the working class, and opening the country as market socialism was the way to improve material conditions for everybody, locally, and worldwide.

Thank you for an accurate and informative discussion. Love your backing up your hypothesis with graphs and facts. As I always said, as soon as any company or country begins to depend on financial shenanigans for it's wealth it's going to decline. When I heard that Toyota made more money from car financing than making cars, I knew the end is nigh. Just like GM or Ford and many other US car makers 😂😂😂
But at the same time the US capitalists wanted to destroy the unions which they succeeded. So what are they complaining about. They captured the US government turning it to be a government of the corporations for the corporations by the corporations, culminating in the capture of the supreme court resulting in so called Citizen United, where he who has more $ has more say 😂😂😂
If I am the CEO, I would do the same. Otherwise the shareholders of the company will replace me with someone else. You get no thanks for doing the right thing, so why bother.
@@dand4075 exactly. Isn't the capitalist system wonderful as you live quarterly. As long as I meet the stock price target and get my bonus as the company goes to the ground. The the last one who holds the bag problem. Amirite?? 😂😂😂
it is a west-centric perspective. the west steals also (e.g. plane radars in 1980s from ussr). cyber attacks are an american specialty. china has almost as much new patents as the whole west.
@@dand4075l wouldn't take the job if l loved my country.
"and then the come out to spread the lie that China stole their secrets, just to cover up their greed. " Not a very good of acceptable lie because if they would have kept there secrets they would have never have it to benefit us as a whole but like a good kapitalist keep it for them selfs.
Thank you Ben for such a wonderful, well prepared and informative lecture on the subject. You are my favorite on YT overnight! A quality channel that I will recommend unreservedly to all .
China is great 🌹 🇨🇳 China is the future 🇨🇳🌹 China is the leader 🇨🇳🌹🎉👍🙏❤️ from Nepal 🇳🇵
China always works hard for their next generation and the next. Chinese are working very hard for their family. No more bullying by the West and Japan. China 🇨🇳👍💪
I'm astonished by this analysis, it is one of the absolute best of your absolutely amazing job, Ben. CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you so much Ben for this in depth and factual report, this is how journalism should be done, much appreciated!
Thank you, Ben Norton, for a very interesting analysis of how China rose to become a great economic power following the socialist system and how the US made a mistake of following a totally liberal free market policy with disastrous results. A very detailed analysis showing how one country rose and another went down. The effects are what we are seeing today - China with its gleaming buildings, high-speed trains, highways, strong manufacturing base, rising GDP, etc while the US is hollowing out with the only focus on building up its military (an unproductive industry which just sucks money from the national budget). Behind the rise of China are the clear socialist policies implemented by the Chinese government to bring up the economy of the country while the US tried to run the country via "the best democracy money can buy". The results are very clear to see. A very interesting and detailed analysis, one which I need to watch a second time to understand more fully what Ben is putting across.
Those are not socialist policies though, China is still at the stage of state-capitalism. All ee can say is they're on the right path and they seem to have good plans for reaching actual socialism.
@d0nj03 Their plan isn't to reach socialism, it's to reach communism. The reason they've allowed markets is because the world is still overwhelmingly capitalist, or at least, run by capitalists. To grow their productive forces, they couldn't grow socialism in a box. While private sectors and large inequality exists, the country is not controlled by capital. The reality is that a purely socialist economy has never been able to thrive in the current socioeconomic climate of the world. Abandoning dogmatic doctrine for a flexible approach on the long road to communism is undeniably doing very well for them.
If/when we see the western imperialism fade as multipolarity rises, I think we can expect to see China move towards abolishing more and more of the private sectors of their economy.
@@Ryan_hey Well traditionally it's seen as a necessary stage before full communism. And I know why they're doing it this way, I have no issue with that, just pointing out they're not there yet. (And anytime you're not there yet there's still a possibility of losing your way - overly comfy and technology-spoiled CEOs and city kids could start crying for more liberalism and individualism and push for a sort of Dengist direction again, which would be a huge leap backward.)
It definitely deserves a second and a third viewing. Ben is simply unbeatable with his clarity, his ability to organise material into an organic flow, and his wealth of knowledge, too.
But I’m wondering,If you became No1, maybe you will be the same. Fight or rob is easy
Not many know China is also the power house of infrastructure. China gained huge experience from building itself for the last 40 years and also benefited from building mega projects on different climates(deserts, permafrost), geographic locations(ravines, long sea crossing bridges).
Everything is falling apart. As soon as Three Gorges dam bursts a huge area will be finished. Sad but bribes and lack of inspectors has caught up to china's construction boom 💥
China has been an the powerhouse of infrastructure development since the ancient time. Just look the massive the Great Wall of China, the Great Canal, and the Qin Highway which were all built more than 2 thousand years ago.
I’m one of the few who know!
And they've helped so many other countries like Pakistan. Pakistan has never been better under Chinese unbelievably corrupt business deals
Yeah except for when it rains, they haven’t really figured out how to deal with rain yet
Saying China steals our technology is like saying the performer at a concert stole your money. You agree to hand over a certain amount of money to watch them perform. It's not theft. The same goes with doing business in China. You agree to hand over technology in order to set up an enterprise in China.
Americans hate paying for stuff. They feel entitled to do business in China and write their own rules.
这个比喻非常恰当，可以说美国政府得了便宜还卖乖
Also, keep in mind that our species "superpower" is sharing knowledge. Learning from others and then improving from there is how you get better and better.
@andresgarciacastro1783 in the United States, it's perfectly acceptable for 5 individuals to own the majority of the wealth. Not all people around the world share that mentality. There's no religious basis for it. There's no moral reason for it. It's a system imposed on the American people by selfish people over generations and promoted by our schools and media from an early age.
Americans can not understand countries that seek cooperation. Americans assume everyone aspires to the system we have, dog eat dog, winner take all, and therefore we see see rivals and enemies around every corner.
The US is mentally ill.
It is sociopathic, and it believes it's sociopathy is the norm. That makes for an extremely dangerous world.
Sociologically healthy nations are in constant danger when a psychopath runs amok as we are constantly witnessing.

For a fact many in the west looks down on China ability to do better but they underestimate China ability to outperform them. That is why they accuse China of stealing technology from the west. That is not true.
extremely insightful and in-depth analysis and explanation of the fundamental principles behind PRC, highly recommended. A super and extremely useful report.
Thanks! "Rules based order. Meaning USA makes the rules and orders everyone around" 😂😂😂 I love it!
The question is not whether or not the economy is planned, it needs to be planned. The question is by whom it will be planned, by unelected private bankers or by elected governments. The worst part of US neoliberal policies is the brutal destruction of its industrial competitive capacity and impoverishment of it's own workforce by financial exploitation.
And they enforced this policy on any other nation they could. Privatisation to shift wealth from the state to the corporations
Oh, you get the point, the China is planned by government, but this gov is some strange to western world.
It’s not simple unelected gov, it’s consist of China ancient idea. Officer selected by examination.
@@giannidimarco3805 Time to reverse that shit. Corporations rule over society is the worst possible thing. Society cannot be driven by "profit" .
@@UniDeathRaven yep 100%
But who's going to do it?
It has to done in a sense, if US did not import or use foreign countries as production the US would have sink in the early 2000s, it is arguable , that would also created a short economic down fall and a another 10-20 years of prosperity. China would not rise so fast as well as they would lack the capital from US. But considering if US did not use China,Europe would have so the ending would be the same but may be a decade slower, with a stronger Europe and weaker US.
Really well researched and presented. I am very pleased and impressed by your scope of knowledge and presentation of these facts. I plan to write an article based on some of your findings.
Ben is among the top 10 Best Honest Journalists in the world (according to my assessment). Thank you Ben.
As a Chinese person born in Taiwan in 1985. I would like to point out a few other points. The century of shame to large extend was ended in 1911 when the Sun Yat-sen；Father of modern China overthrew Qing dynasty. He was very vocal in pushing for modernization of China industries and trying to fully bring the regional warlords into a cohesive government. 1945 marked the full liberation of China from imperialist colonial powers (Japan). And in 1949 the civil war marked the almost total reunification if China, the warlords were destroyed, disbanded, or pledged loyalty to the central government.
There was only a few piece of China that was still controlled by other administrations, such as Taiwan Provice by Nationalist remnants, Macao, Hong Kong due to land lease aggreements.
I look forward to the day Taiwan, the last missing piece of China can rejoin the motherland.
Thank you for you input 😊 proud be Chinese we are family
It will eventually happen at some point in history. Look no further at Austria in 1954, Vietnam in 1976, Germany in 1989. Taiwan will eventually reunite at some point, as well as North & South Korea which has been divided by the Truman Administration as a favor to Joseph Stalin since August 10, 1945 via China's belt and road initiatives instead of these USA's endless regime change wars which never worked as intended.
I love my Chinese compatriots from Taiwan, the first time I met some and made friends with them was when I went to the West to study 20 years ago. There is no doubt we are the same people sharing the same culture, (speaking the same language). I really hope they are not bought into the US lies and potentially used as tools to contain China. I hope for peaceful reunification to happen asap
Whether or not the century of humiliation ended in 1911 or 1949, the west today is determined that it doesn't end ever. Keeping China down so the west is up is now the imperative priority of the powers that control the west.
@@Faye_Liuwhy doesn’t China take back the huge piece of land Russia took from them?
The general answer is quite simple really. The Hegemonic US spent most of its focus, time, and resources invading or destabilizing other countries that did not accept its World Domination under the American rule-based international order. Whereas, China spent its focus, time, and resources building its infrastructure, economy, trade, and BRI in other countries under Mutual Respect Mutual Benefits, and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries
And China is on its way to do the samething but worst when it comes to world domination...
Exact! That's the point! No more words're required to explain China spectacular economic development since 1990!
@jaguarnordestino Yeah...now they must pay back a $35 TRILLION Dollar loan back for all this rebuilding to the private sector. I bet you had no clue about that....and too date they already defaulted on some of those loans.
@@tonytaylor4545That's paltry compared to Uncle Sam with its 37 TRILLION debts and unending printing of fake money witn nothing to back those money except DEBTS which they kept pushing onto many poor and weak nations. Nothing more than belligerent parasite.
Very true. This country don't care about its citizens anymore. As long as they make millions in their pockets then that's it.
Always great content, Ben.
Could you please address the growing discontent of India and attempting to slow down its partners in SCO and BRICS because of its hate for China and its regretable love for the U.S?
Would love to hear about this too
Thank you, Ben, for the information on Chinese socialism.
European power appears to be returning to its precolonial state.
It will be interesting to see the 'talent' and 'innovation' of Europe without the brutality of aggressive military or economic conquest.
I think Europe might have a few tricks left. It has, after all, amassed a great number of advantages from former conquest that continue to bear fruit. There is always, however, disadvantages that are budding at the same time.
China has problems, but it does not have the problems the collective 'West' has.
I surmise that the legacy of the West will haunt it forever.

Many thanks for the outstanding video, Ben. It clarified a lot of questions I had about “different” models of socialism, not to mention that the ironies you pointed out were brilliant, etc. In a nutshell, it shed new lights to many aspects of the nuts and bolts about what China really represents today. It is like a complement of an article written by Pepe Escobar a few years ago called “The Deeper Roots of Chinese Demonization”.
Despite being long, the video was worthy every minute but still, you provided well-concise information for a topic that could take hours.
Well done!
The colonial imperialists made the Chinese so poor they were starving and dropping dead like flies from hunger.
TOtally agree. It the western imperial colonizers invaded and looted allof China's wealth and drugged the people to death. And then they sanctioned China to starvation and death. And yet the colonial imperialists blame that on communism and Mao in China. LOL.
Just terrible 😢
TOtally agree. the colonial imperial invaded and robbed from China.
The most horrible and so inhumane thing they did was the use of opium.
It's so sickening when they blame Mao and communists.
I'm really impressed with the quality of the content and the facts known here.
You guys know more than all the so called "China experts" on CNN/Fox/MSN/BBC/MSN/Reuters/Bloomberg/etc.. put together!
Thank you for this episode. You’ve explained a complicated modern history and current situation of the U.S. and China in a very clear and down-to-earth way, with lots of research, quotes and data. Your work is much appreciated Keep on the Good work!
China is a great partner because they not looking to coup nations. They believe in helping develop other nations but not the west way.
Thanks Ben and I do learn a lot
from this video. Keep up with the amazing work.
In fact, at that time, China had already completed the system of education, politics, economy, military industry, aerospace, industrial manufacturing foundation, laws and regulations, infrastructure construction and other aspects and fields, laying all the foundations for large-scale production of light industry, while capitalists in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea and other countries and regions moved low-end factories to China in order to pursue more profits and development and market. China's achievements have been achieved at the expense of the health of the people and the savings of generations of hard-earned money, don't forget how much money and profits the West has made in China exploiting and exploiting the Chinese people for decades and how they have been able to keep the price level steady and inflate and enjoy Chinese goods and products for years with their printed money and so on. And don't forget how China, the world's richest country, was invaded, colonized, plundered, divided up wealth, energy, food, resources, cultural relics, books, etc., built banks to control the financial industry, China's currency and high interest made the Chinese government sign a large amount of reparations in the war, Control the ports, trade with the outside world, territorial concessions, keep the Chinese out of their own territory, establish spheres of influence, proxy comprador warlords, bureaucratic divisions, and so on to exploit China and turn it into the poorest country in the world? Now, China has industrialized through the hard work of its own generations, saving money, being commercialized by the capitalization of state land, investing in infrastructure, investing in talent, education, culture, etc. While Westerners have exploited and exploited sweatshops to work for the world for decades to produce high-quality and inexpensive products while Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries make a pot full of profits and take most of the profits, maintain the inflation rate of developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan and the price level is stable, and ordinary people around the world can use high-quality and inexpensive industrial products and technological products, etc., On the other hand, China relies on Chinese people to accumulate capital one by one, and then continue to research and develop scientific research and education talents, and invest in training a big country to complete the modernization of the country.
Something that I find very interesting is that common people around the globe have stopped viewing the us as the world's superpower for quite a while now. And I am not sure that Americans are aware of this.
Ben, I have only a few words to say about you: You Are A True Teller. Simple as that. 👍👍👍
China's experiments give hopes to the developing nations in the world
Fantastic reporting. Very balanced, unbiased, indepth & concise report. Thank you very much. Keep up your good work. Kudos !!
Ben Norton is so knowledgeable and thorough with these reports omg! Thank you so much!!
This might be the best video I've ever seen on this topic. Very well done!
I am positive the is state sponsored propaganda by china
The discriminatory treatment, double standards, baseless slandering, and vilification of competitors by the United States government are contemptible.
Yep
Simply terrible behaviour
A big majority of the populace in the US, UK, Australia etc enjoy reading articles and propaganda denigrating China/Chinese. You can see the evidence in the humongous number of views and likes when certain yt channels, alt Western media and msm publish/air the anti-China/Chinese denigrating videos. Various surveys on whether there should be war by the West with China over Taiwan - had the results of 65% to 70%+ of respondents saying YES to war with China.
Well done Ben Norton. The truth is finally out there is no question about China's successful development today and USA declining development in the country. China government and people work hard for decades for modernisation of the country. USA need to learn from China and not use sanction to deprived China's growth especially the technology.
Thanks for your work comrade ❤
I just want to point out that the word "industrial" in its greek origin mean "hard work" so i think in Marxist literature it means productive as opposition to unproductive (rentier class).
So developing industrial capacity means developing production.(wether its agricultural, manufactural or even intellectual [they all enhance each other in a dialectical manner])
Another note : the proliteriat means people who dont poses the means of production (not only factory workers or blue collar jobs but also intellectual workers : doctors, engineers, teachers... And finally peseants)
A final note. In one of his works Marx described peasents as idiots. It doesnt mean idiot as in stupid or mentally deficient but it means politically apathetic
Politically apathetic describes most Americans.
Apparently President Xi of China has some concern that young Chinese, well fed & happy with their life are becoming politically apathetic. He wants to find ways to engage them in dialog, debate & innovative critical thinking. Now THAT is planning ahead!
@@JohnT.4321Idiots does as well.
@@UpliftedTranceJunkie I would think it is because of the heavy doses of propaganda through the media and government.
