Cyrus. There are bond to be people from certain three letter agencies in America trying to stir up conflict between the Chinese and American people. I just saw someone with a username. "AngloSaxonDemise". I believe the majority of Chinese and American people aren't racist, but there are always forces trying to make our two countries go to war. If you see any instigators of conflict, please do ban them from this channel. All the best to you, bud.
It's a combination of the *"Red Scare"* (fear of communism) and the *"Yellow Peril"* (fear of Asians overrunning the West) mindset that's fueling anti-China sentiment in the West today. Since the 19th century, Westerners have grown so throughly accustomed to the notion of Western dominance, so much such that the very thought of a *non-Western, non-liberal democratic* country like China eventually surpassing the United States as the premier world superpower someday in the foreseeable future, is simply too frightening for many Westerners to fathom.
Just stop believing everything your politicians and media want you to see and believe through their mindsets and lenses.. .empower yourself.. watch as many TH-cam channels and form your own beliefs
@@sharrelgoh I would suggest not believing everything ANYONE says, and instead, jump on a plane and learn for yourself. It really isn't that difficult.

I was born in Denmark 75 years ago and experienced the well-fare state at its best. I principally left the West at the age of 18 to live in Asia, first India and for the past ４5 years in Japan. I went to China in 1983 and have been to China almost 50 times since then, so I know China well. In my opinion, China is a more free country than Denmark with many more opportunities to pursue happiness. I think the Chinese Confucian system of meritocracy is far superior to so-called Western representative democracy in all its forms, where totally incompetent people can be elected into highest office due to popularity. they typically fail to deliver, so in the next election the opposition gets the power, 51 percent overruling 49 percent (please study Gaddhafi's Green Book) giving a totally unstable government not for the people but for remaining in power. In China they make five yer plans after consulting numerous think tanks, universities, opinion groups, the intelligencia etc, and not least by following public opinion on the Internet. Yes, you cannot rule China without the Mandate of Heaven. And what is the Mandate of Heaven. It is the Voice of the People. Only after long deliberate considerations are a policy then formulated, that favours the general interest of the entire population of China. This is very different from Western democracy where politicians say what they believe their voters want to hear and then do something different that is politically necessary to cling to their seat of power. In my opinion, this means China is much more democratic than any Western so-called democracy.
Terry really holds the belief of equality. He said the Chinese should enjoy the same standard of living as the Americans are having now. However, American ruling class like Obama and Trump do not hold the same belief. Obama once claimed that if all Chinese lived their lives similar to the American way, it would be a disaster because the world doesn't have so much natural resources. Trump also publicly claimed that there were no equal treatments when China making trade negotiations with the US as the US interests should always be the most important matter. I am pessimistic about the American ruling class changing their mindsets and really treating people from other countries equally.
"there were no equal treatments when China making trade negotiations with the US" China had Most Favored Nation status for decades, meaning exports to the US were given favorable tariff rates. You're right, that was not equal treatment.
The amercians are damn proud because they think they are the only chosen ones from the so-called God. However, God will NOT side with the current demoncratic Santan in-controlled USA govt.
@@sparkeyjones6261 The so-called favorable tariff rates is not as fair as the rules set by the WTO. That's why China focus on joining the WTO rather than negotiating bilateral trading agreement with the US annually. WTO is the "REAL GLOBAL STANDARD" as it includes members all over the world instead of the "so-called International standard" claimed by the US solely. In fact, when there are any trading disputes between China and other countries, China always tries to resolve them through the arbitration under the WTO platform. In contrast, during Trump's administration, the US threatened to withdraw from the WTO when there were verdicts not favorable to the interest of the US. China definitely respects the WTO, the real global standard, more than what the US does.
Thank you Cyrus for another great video. We need more and more people like Terry and Cyrus in our western world. The importance is ever more crucial as we (here in Australia as in other western countries) see an increasing number of racist attacks towards Asians just because more and more fear is being pushed into people’s minds through a very narrow minded, racist corporate media.

When China becomes the most powerful country in the world, it will also shout to all countries in the world every day: democracy and human rights, because it is the cheapest and most effective tool to control the ruling and non ruling parties in other countries. Now, once China has an opposition party, it will definitely become the best way for the United States to interfere in China's internal affairs, control and mess up China. China must not be westernized. The Chinese knew how to manage the country thousands of years ago. The Chinese Communist Party fully understands the evil intentions of the United States. The American cleverness is inherited from the British who sell opium and drugs to everyone in China. Wealth that cannot be obtained by normal trade must be obtained by war. The evil and dirty wealth history of Britain and the United States is known all over the world.
It's utter nonsense. China has the Most asylum seekers in America each year. More than the next 10 nations claiming asylum Combined. Most Latino asylum seekers (except Cubans) are denied asylum but the Chinese get asylum because they specifically claim they face oppression in China. Japan has no asylum seekers in America. Neither does Taiwan.

@@ph1688 are you alluding to this phrase, "家和万事兴“- or （a harmonious family will herald prosperity in all arena). haha, this phrase embodies lots of philosophies, one could interprete vis-a-vis its contexts, like in married relationships, fraternity and neighbourly relationships!
The last point…Lee Kuan Yew the famous Singaporean politician once said on stage in Hong Kong in front of the British that he never believed democracy would bring prosperity, that one person one vote only makes sense when the majority of voters are educated people. Well, that is understatement for being polite. It’s obvious that you would let your 10 year old to vote for ice creams but not cars and homes; but that’s not all. Yes China has already eradicated much poverty but that doesn’t turn people into government experts in economics, sociology, healthcare, education or foreign trade. The best government is one that is composed by qualified people who are workers for the people, not for individual financial gains. The government is very clean now with little or no corruption. They can stop Covid, why can’t they stop corruption? And we know more or less how the US lobbying, campaign financing and election work.
No, IMO, the best government is one that keeps experimenting with things to see what works with qualified people yes, and allows for a system of decentralization where the people can vote with their feet. Voting for your local government with their feet is an old practice that works. Also thanks to the internet, e-democracy should be experimented with, via allowing citizens to directly take part in the government at certain points with rules implemented by web apps, and also tests can be done to make sure that citizens are competent.
Search on Google which countries are ahead in IQ. Do you know how much China govt invests in STEM education for producing excellent human resources and expertise.
It's a combination of the *"Red Scare"* (fear of communism) and the *"Yellow Peril"* (fear of Asians overrunning the West) mindset that's fueling anti-China sentiment in the USA today.
also: America one sec: china will dominate us militarily because of their huge army and massive navy. america next sec: chinese army is poorly trained, no experience, and their navy is qualitatively inferior. america next next sec: china is a military threat to the usa! we need more money to buy weapons!!!
Excellent interview Cyrus. It’s great to get issues clarified and have well researched and reasoned points made. Terry was very enlightening. Thanks for organising for him come on the show. 👍
I really like the 3 stage of human right u both r talking about. The 1st and 2nd must be fulfilled first before any individualism BS interfere the 2 more important aspect of human right. Only fools and brainwashed citizens emphasize the 3rd criteria rather than the 1st and 2nd.
I am partial to freedom of speech, however, freedom to have as many children as you want despite not being to afford them, despite leading to statistically higher crime rates, hmm. A lot of countries are in an education bubble where the skills taught at the university aren't important in the job market (India, West, China), and lack of speech freedom is going to make it worse IMO.
I don't completely disagree. But, I also think much of the current prosperity in China is a result of companies adopting a more Western approach in recent decades.
The individual human’s “One man one vote” right only appears/happens ONCE every 4 or 5 years for 1 day. The rest of the times each individual human has no rights to decide any of his/her political destiny.
For local elections you can vote with your feet, like move to a different city. Also local governments can be more experimental. Why don't we focus more on local conditions?
concur, Rules apply to those civilians in all the other nations too! when politicians love you, all are treated better than a monarch, while they burn the bridges, haha, you are regarded as a pauper!! reality of Life, accpets it!
The USA has a problem with a bad partly dysfunctional system and unequal distribution ....and wasteful use of resources on an unproductive military. Using resources better and focusing on a sustainable way of running the economy will make the world safer and better.
**Absolutely correct ! Addition, the current situation is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA becoming such depravedly?!?** **One precious Chinese folk's lesson has told: [ a family full of love, harmony shall always be prosperous ] !!! _ On the contrary....???**

Thank you Cyrus and Terry. This video is one of the best presented. I really enjoy watching it. Very balanced view of China. Great job. Hope more of this to come.
Thank you so much Cyrus and Terry! It's so great of you two who are providing us non bias opinions of China! Talk about the US: the budget on military is more than the combine of Education and Health Care! OMG!!!!!
The "purpose of the government" really touched me. I was born in a small village in China in 1989. In the 31 years of my life as of now, I have been believing for sure that tomorrow will be better than today and it turns out true every year. I used to think this is natural everywhere in the world. After travelling a lot in different countries over last 10 years, I realized that I have mistakenly taken the Chinese people and government's efforts to make our life better for granted.
Your country, though not perfect is a good country. No one's country is perfect. But it fights for everyone's country to have the right to be independent. I also think Chinese people are good people who are yet to be appreciated globally, in Africa, at least, that sentiment is gaining more prominence.
Hi Cyrus, i am from Singapore. We have always been called a policed state and had an authoritarian government. It was never the case. We have freedom, just that we cannot abuse it and criticism must be constructive. We are not perfect but we focus on first principle (Not democracy) which was to achieve an outcome that benefitted Singaporean. Another important thing was the media, we are not allowed to drive any narrative that compromises racial harmony and promotes facts and stability including propagating good governance at all state level, social and academic institutions, religious space and the commerce arena. I was glad that our founding fathers laid down good foundations for us to build upon and we constantly must tweak to conform to the expectation of the newer generation without de-stabilizing the very pillars and anchors that built us since our founding. I went to America in the 80s for a month to consider studying there. I saw many negative things there which were finally uncovered during trump years. Then, I decided to remain in Singapore. America is not bad, but what i saw in New York was not what i like. I was not allowed to wander at 7pm on the streets by my American relatives. That itself among other reasons was a good enough reason for me that made me decided Singapore was a better place. American people are in general very nice but the social system was broken. It was then, and it still is. Is fair to say China rise mirrored us except that the dynamism of the chinese are frightening and far-reaching. While USA is arguing and finding a bridge between wearing a mask and freedom (I pity Dr Fauci) china has more or less recovered with proper ring-fencing measures in place to fight the next pandemic and of course flying rockets to space..during this time. The difference is stark. If only the american media allow airtime to Chris Hedges, Jeff.Sachs and Richard Wolff and of course both of you, it will probably mitigate the damage that has been created by toxic politics and military interventions over the years and sad to say currently GOP is expediting the decline (Ted, Abbott, Santis...), but i love Bernie and Mitt. In short, we do not want a failed america but given the current state of dis-unity in America which drives it global approach to politics that will ensure the govt of the day gets the vote and stay in power, i am quite pessimsitic.
**Absolutely! Addition, that is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA ( plus other Western's ) becoming such depravedly, self-deception and ...........?!?**
This is the best discussion so far, so straight to the point. Please recommend this video to all your non-Chinese friends. Since I’m Chinese descent, its a conflict of interest for me to post it on any social media.
CYRUS ， THANK YOU SO MUCH STAY HERE KEEP TELL THE TRUTH OF CHINA， IT IS NOT EASY FOR PEOPLE SPEAK UP THE JUSTICE OF CHINA。REALLY APPRECIATED WHAT OF YOU DID 。I M CHINESE COME FROM AU。
just reading the declaration of independence..... I think Americans should really look at reforming their own government "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...." now one party is to oppose another so that nothing gets done and is becoming destructive
**Absolutely correct ! Additional, this is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA becoming such depravedly?!?**
Another great episode! I really enjoy listening to you guys and from a different perspective. You look at the results of effective governing rather than simply by the name of governing. Great job 👍
Thank you Cyrus and Terry for your excellent insight on China and US. Wish the American people will demand peace and not war with China. Love and peace from 🇨🇳❤️✌️
Oh my goodness! This is a really good episode. I love it!👍👍 I like the topic that you both talking about and the real facts to support your point. More importantly this whole discussion coming from two Americans, nowadays you it's really hard to find an American speaking about China and come up with some positive comments. And you both are doing a great job, I really enjoy the video.👍👍
Thank you Cyrus and Terry, this is a must helpful piece of information! Your analyses is excellent . Sure hope the Americans and especially the politicians will read the book!
Thank you Cyrus for introducing Terry and his excellent book. What is the purpose of government? Unfortunately, as Terry said, we sometimes elevate the method of selecting our leaders above the purpose of government, believing election is the only way. But no one seems to reflect on why we oftentimes end up getting inept leaders.
How I wish a lot more people are like Mr. Wittenmyer - people with conscience. That's truly the ingredient for world peace. My salute to Mr. Wittenmyer!
The problem with US newspaper and other news agencies is that they are entirely staffed by journalists that grew up reading fairy tales and believed that fairy tales are real. That is what makes them so good in cooking up lies and false stories
Thank you Cyrus and Terry, great talks and discussions. Both countries are great and really hope we can understand each other better and can cooperate in a better way in future.
I have to admit, I had been critical of China due to the western news media. I have never been to China and now believe I have been misled by the western mainstream media. I think the TH-cam influencers that went to China give an honest review of China than the Western media.

The murders, despotic rule and border raids were something Vietnam put a stop to.
It was this that CPC wanted to prevent!
@@cyberpunkalphamale and there you go led further astray by TH-cam comments. Your initial comment was China invaded Vietnam... And happyhappynuts led you to talking about Cambodia... Why was China in Vietnam in the first place BEFORE Vietnam attacked Cambodia? That is the detail he didn't mention.
Deng xiaoping once
said democracy is like 2 government arguing
he was referring to america. India more than 2 government arguing 😆
i like this!
Real eyes opening discussion! We need more contents like this in media...honest presentation.
Actually....very good discussion
This is the most powerful argument about how to understand China I have ever seen and heard. Thank you so much.
**To See Is To Believed ! Addition, the current situation is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA becoming such depravedly?!?**
**One precious Chinese folk's lesson has told: [ a family full of love, harmony shall always be prosperous ] !!! _On the contrary .......???***
@@ph1688 are you alluding to this phrase, "家和万事兴“- or （a harmonious family will herald prosperity in all arena).
haha, this phrase embodies lots of philosophies, one could interprete vis-a-vis its contexts, like in married relationships, fraternity and neighbourly relationships!
@@ngkeam9491 How could you read my mind?!? you're amazing ...!!!
@@ph1688 haha, someone who borders on lunacy, could use his intuition to analyse the thoughts?
solely an assumption-lah!
The last point…Lee Kuan Yew the famous Singaporean politician once said on stage in Hong Kong in front of the British that he never believed democracy would bring prosperity, that one person one vote only makes sense when the majority of voters are educated people. Well, that is understatement for being polite. It’s obvious that you would let your 10 year old to vote for ice creams but not cars and homes; but that’s not all. Yes China has already eradicated much poverty but that doesn’t turn people into government experts in economics, sociology, healthcare, education or foreign trade. The best government is one that is composed by qualified people who are workers for the people, not for individual financial gains. The government is very clean now with little or no corruption. They can stop Covid, why can’t they stop corruption? And we know more or less how the US lobbying, campaign financing and election work.
Confucian philosophies have been relevant for thousands of years. Really cool.
No, IMO, the best government is one that keeps experimenting with things to see what works with qualified people yes, and allows for a system of decentralization where the people can vote with their feet. Voting for your local government with their feet is an old practice that works. Also thanks to the internet, e-democracy should be experimented with, via allowing citizens to directly take part in the government at certain points with rules implemented by web apps, and also tests can be done to make sure that citizens are competent.
Search on Google which countries are ahead in IQ. Do you know how much China govt invests in STEM education for producing excellent human resources and expertise.
Fear the malicious intent and narrative from Uncle Sam.
It's a combination of the *"Red Scare"* (fear of communism) and the *"Yellow Peril"* (fear of Asians overrunning the West) mindset that's fueling anti-China sentiment in the USA today.
@@Shenzhou. Cannot avoid that, there are more Asians than Europeans :)
Both of this gentleman see other nation and other human beings as equal, not differentiate, no ego. It's absolutely beautiful.
Americans one sec: China can never reach our level
Americans next sec: China is an economic threat
this calls schizomania
also:
America one sec: china will dominate us militarily because of their huge army and massive navy.
america next sec: chinese army is poorly trained, no experience, and their navy is qualitatively inferior.
america next next sec: china is a military threat to the usa! we need more money to buy weapons!!!

American can do no wrong, if they do wrong, blame it on China 😁 simple... 🤭
Thank you to both of you for such an enlightening dialogue.
Excellent interview Cyrus. It’s great to get issues clarified and have well researched and reasoned points made. Terry was very enlightening. Thanks for organising for him come on the show. 👍
I really like the 3 stage of human right u both r talking about. The 1st and 2nd must be fulfilled first before any individualism BS interfere the 2 more important aspect of human right. Only fools and brainwashed citizens emphasize the 3rd criteria rather than the 1st and 2nd.
I loved that part as well...Terry said it explained it very well, and I believe it is 100% true
I am partial to freedom of speech, however, freedom to have as many children as you want despite not being to afford them, despite leading to statistically higher crime rates, hmm. A lot of countries are in an education bubble where the skills taught at the university aren't important in the job market (India, West, China), and lack of speech freedom is going to make it worse IMO.
This is smart. I agree with you and Terry!
Chinese success is a threat to the western corporate system because it suggests an alternative.
There are lots of things the west can learn from China.
I don't completely disagree. But, I also think much of the current prosperity in China is a result of companies adopting a more Western approach in recent decades.
Most of the most insightful videos I have watched for quite some time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent view, thank you for sharing.
The individual human’s “One man one vote” right only appears/happens ONCE every 4 or 5 years for 1 day. The rest of the times each individual human has no rights to decide any of his/her political destiny.
And your choice is only to choose the better of the 2 devils
What you mentioned is very true.
For local elections you can vote with your feet, like move to a different city. Also local governments can be more experimental. Why don't we focus more on local conditions?
hahaha so policies should be vote each time , that is "true democracy"
concur, Rules apply to those civilians in all the other nations too!
when politicians love you, all are treated better than a monarch, while they burn the bridges, haha, you are regarded as a pauper!!
reality of Life, accpets it!
The USA has a problem with a bad partly dysfunctional system and unequal distribution ....and wasteful use of resources on an unproductive military. Using resources better and focusing on a sustainable way of running the economy will make the world safer and better.
**Absolutely correct ! Addition, the current situation is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA becoming such depravedly?!?**
**One precious Chinese folk's lesson has told: [ a family full of love, harmony shall always be prosperous ] !!! _ On the contrary....???**
These both guys are open minded, wise and learning by living to understand different culture values and perspectives.... Not imposing their Democratic inherited value to others!
One of the best written books about modern day China. Terry, a wonderful read and Cyrus, nice work in showcasing it.
Glad you enjoyed it
What an insightful interview! Thank you Cyrus and Terry!h
Thank you Cyrus and Terry. This video is one of the best presented. I really enjoy watching it. Very balanced view of China. Great job. Hope more of this to come.
Discussion from a better perspective than the main mass media. Good job.
I like Mr. Terry Wittenmyer talk, very clear detail.
Thank you so much Cyrus and Terry! It's so great of you two who are providing us non bias opinions of China! Talk about the US: the budget on military is more than the combine of Education and Health Care! OMG!!!!!
The "purpose of the government" really touched me. I was born in a small village in China in 1989. In the 31 years of my life as of now, I have been believing for sure that tomorrow will be better than today and it turns out true every year. I used to think this is natural everywhere in the world. After travelling a lot in different countries over last 10 years, I realized that I have mistakenly taken the Chinese people and government's efforts to make our life better for granted.
Your country, though not perfect is a good country.
No one's country is perfect. But it fights for everyone's country to have the right to be independent.
I also think Chinese people are good people who are yet to be appreciated globally, in Africa, at least, that sentiment is gaining more prominence.
Another terrific episode. Its refreshing to hear Terry Wittenmyer. 💝
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Cyrus, it's great to hear Terry's perspective. I am sure the book will be a great read.
两位三观太正了，这才是人类应有的价值观。特别是最后一句。
Hi Cyrus, i am from Singapore. We have always been called a policed state and had an authoritarian government. It was never the case. We have freedom, just that we cannot abuse it and criticism must be constructive. We are not perfect but we focus on first principle (Not democracy) which was to achieve an outcome that benefitted Singaporean. Another important thing was the media, we are not allowed to drive any narrative that compromises racial harmony and promotes facts and stability including propagating good governance at all state level, social and academic institutions, religious space and the commerce arena. I was glad that our founding fathers laid down good foundations for us to build upon and we constantly must tweak to conform to the expectation of the newer generation without de-stabilizing the very pillars and anchors that built us since our founding. I went to America in the 80s for a month to consider studying there. I saw many negative things there which were finally uncovered during trump years. Then, I decided to remain in Singapore. America is not bad, but what i saw in New York was not what i like. I was not allowed to wander at 7pm on the streets by my American relatives. That itself among other reasons was a good enough reason for me that made me decided Singapore was a better place. American people are in general very nice but the social system was broken. It was then, and it still is. Is fair to say China rise mirrored us except that the dynamism of the chinese are frightening and far-reaching. While USA is arguing and finding a bridge between wearing a mask and freedom (I pity Dr Fauci) china has more or less recovered with proper ring-fencing measures in place to fight the next pandemic and of course flying rockets to space..during this time. The difference is stark. If only the american media allow airtime to Chris Hedges, Jeff.Sachs and Richard Wolff and of course both of you, it will probably mitigate the damage that has been created by toxic politics and military interventions over the years and sad to say currently GOP is expediting the decline (Ted, Abbott, Santis...), but i love Bernie and Mitt. In short, we do not want a failed america but given the current state of dis-unity in America which drives it global approach to politics that will ensure the govt of the day gets the vote and stay in power, i am quite pessimsitic.
Good news ❤️
The viewership of western media has plunged 🔥
Their influence is fading 😂
**Absolutely! Addition, that is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA ( plus other Western's ) becoming such depravedly, self-deception and ...........?!?**
This is the best discussion so far, so straight to the point. Please recommend this video to all your non-Chinese friends. Since I’m Chinese descent, its a conflict of interest for me to post it on any social media.
Thank you, Terry and Cyrus
Terry Wittenmyer is a great and fair American with a great and courageous book. thanks, Cyrus!
Great and insightful discussion, thanks Cyrus and Terry!
Thank you Mr. Janssen for your broadcast of the current China, so that the world can see it with such fact, insight etc.
Good show. 👍 Glad to see that there are a few Americans that can see the right from the wrong. We need more of you.
One of the best half hour I spent listening to someone speak. Great info
Cyrus has a lot of intelligent and open minded viewers
Take care and stay safe, Cyrus! 💘
It gives me hope when I hear people like you reporting the truth against the sea of lies 👍👍👍
terry . . UU RR AMAZING . . STRAIGHT SHOOTER . . WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE UU . .SOOO SMART & GUTSY . . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ! !
Thank you both for this excellent talk. This is a must see episode.
Good video Cyrus and Terry, I really like the show and language you are using, just like normal day-to-day talking instead of big words.
Today’s topic is really good, thank you for the sharing and the guest, I will share this on my Facebook.
Very good information from Terry's speech. Thanks Cyrus for this talk
CYRUS ， THANK YOU SO MUCH STAY HERE KEEP TELL THE TRUTH OF CHINA， IT IS NOT EASY FOR PEOPLE SPEAK UP THE JUSTICE
OF CHINA。REALLY APPRECIATED WHAT OF YOU DID 。I M CHINESE COME FROM AU。
Very enjoyable. Thank you~ Hoping this is longer though 😊
just reading the declaration of independence..... I think Americans should really look at reforming their own government "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...." now one party is to oppose another so that nothing gets done and is becoming destructive
**Absolutely correct ! Additional, this is an unhealthy symptom and unlucky sign according to the circle-fact of Fengshui theory !!! Why the superpower as USA becoming such depravedly?!?**
There's no hope of changes in the U S A most of the politician been in government for decades cades
Another great episode! I really enjoy listening to you guys and from a different perspective. You look at the results of effective governing rather than simply by the name of governing. Great job 👍
Thank you Jack
Thank you Cyrus and Terry for your excellent insight on China and US. Wish the American people will demand peace and not war with China. Love and peace from 🇨🇳❤️✌️
Great conversation Cyrus and Terry!
This is a good and constructive conversation
Thanks Terry and Cyrus for sharing your point of views.
Great discussion!
Very insightful discussion on some difficult to articulate topics. Thanks for sharing!
Honestly, I really love this episode.
Thank you Cyrus for this eye opening video.
My pleasure!
Great discussion, thank you.
Thank you for insightful conversation. I just bought your book 📕 from Amazon today
This is a rational and intellectual discussion on China. Well done, Cyrus. I am going to buy Terry's book.
Excellent interview. I am ordering Terry’s book.
Hope you enjoy it!
Oh my goodness! This is a really good episode. I love it!👍👍 I like the topic that you both talking about and the real facts to support your point. More importantly this whole discussion coming from two Americans, nowadays you it's really hard to find an American speaking about China and come up with some positive comments. And you both are doing a great job, I really enjoy the video.👍👍
I watched one of the CJ's videos just now. I am searching for every one of it now.
Terry is a true humanist!
Thank you for this great interview and the great book. Many Hong Kong people need to be educated too.
Vietnamese too , our gov talk shit about China so much
Ordered the book a moment ago. Looking forward to reading it!
Thank you Cyrus and Terry, this is a must helpful piece of information! Your analyses is excellent . Sure hope the Americans and especially the politicians will read the book!
Thank you guys for the whole clear picture of China. Widened my vision. Thanks again
My respect to you and your guest for your open mindedness and belief in fair play. I already joined your membership.
I have to share this talk 👍🏻👍🏻. Cyrus, it will be good if it includes caption in Chinese .
Yes I'm going to start getting subtitles done on all future videos
Very good video. The guest said it very well on Chapter 13 .
THANKS TERRY SPEAK THE TRUTH OF CHINA。
Well spoken Terry
Thank you guys great lesson for me...from Curitiba.
Great discussion!👍 thank you mr. Wittenmyer! Thank you mr. Janssen! 👍 👏👏
Thank you Cyrus for introducing Terry and his excellent book.
What is the purpose of government? Unfortunately, as Terry said, we sometimes elevate the method of selecting our leaders above the purpose of government, believing election is the only way. But no one seems to reflect on why we oftentimes end up getting inept leaders.
Great content thanks for make this!
Very insightful dialogue! Very good conclusion!
Thanks Cyrus and Terry have deep insightful analysis about China.
How I wish a lot more people are like Mr. Wittenmyer - people with conscience. That's truly the ingredient for world peace. My salute to Mr. Wittenmyer!
Very educational Cyrus, good work to both of you..
The problem with US newspaper and other news agencies is that they are entirely staffed by journalists that grew up reading fairy tales and believed that fairy tales are real. That is what makes them so good in cooking up lies and false stories
Thank you for speaking the truth, and A Very Happy New Year to You both , Terry and Cyrus 🌟
A great talk show 👍👍👍
Thank you Cyrus and Terry, great talks and discussions. Both countries are great and really hope we can understand each other better and can cooperate in a better way in future.
I have to admit, I had been critical of China due to the western news media. I have never been to China and now believe I have been misled by the western mainstream media. I think the TH-cam influencers that went to China give an honest review of China than the Western media.
Thank you Cyrus. I like this episode 👏👏
