A story about democracy:
A farmer asked his son before he died, "Pigs complain about poor feed, cows complain about heavy work, and chickens complain about dirty nests. What should you do?". The son said: "Change to good feed, buy more cows, clean up Chicken coop." The farmer shook his head and said. "No, don't do anything. Let them vote one from the pigs to take care of them, and let them think they control their own destiny”.
Father’s idea = American liberal democracy (electoral circus)
Son’s idea = Chinese democracy (get things done)
😅 exactly.
So true...
Great analogy, no... GREAT analogy, thank you
😂😂😂
❤❤❤ this analogy should be teach in the US school system 🤭👍💪
Right on Jerry. I've been here for 26 years and I love it here. Here we find a government of and for the people.
In summary the ‘chinese democracy’ is driven by meritocracy and social results whereas ‘western democracy’ is driven by $power and star power backed by msm
A popular comment Wardlynds, losts of "likes" already - thank you, it's amazing how many people are so deceived into thinking differently
@@jerrystakeonchina799 Jerry, people are deceived by looks - what's on the surface - and have been the case for centuries. No matter how often they have been told to look skin-deep, they don't. They are still deceived by how a person looks than what the person is inside as a human being and what they are capable of, They look at some handsome guy from personality central on television or the big screen and think that they are perfect for captaining a cruise liner to safely take it through the "Bermuda Triangle". They judge someone by what they look like (height, weight, age, racial ethnicity, skin and hair color) and what sweet words come of their mouths rather than their track record and what they actually have done and think, "oooh - he's perfect as our best ever leader in all of humankind history because he LOOKS like a leader!"

In the west you can change the party but not the policy. In China you can’t change the party but can change the policy. It’s the policy that matters, so China has it right.
think Eric Li might have been the first to say that, but it's so right!

Polity party at western is normally serve it own party even the politician itseft, the key is the people who vote them normally not professional in polity, economy, education and etc, that the key of main failure of western political system, theirs politicians mainly serve for vote not professional and the future of the country. 😥
Jerry you have done a good job about political system in China and in the US and UK. No matter what political system in the world , so far the Chinese system works well for the Chinese people. It has eliminated poverty of 800 million people in a span of 40 years. It is unprecedented in human history. Democracy talk is only academic.
if only “work well for the chinese” then y so many others races from others countries praise china and wish to get green cards from chinese government?
another words, it works well for EVERYONE who wants to have safe and prosperous society. Oh and also want to find peace and doesn’t want to be bombarded by politicians and media bs every where you turn during election.
I agree with you Fanny, it works in China, there's no reason why it won't work anywhere - and that is USA's greatest problem - they have a national security issue because when people find out how it works in a country they have been programmed to hate, they will want immediate changes - that the USA's only national security issue
This is the case of the singer not the song; any system can work properly if the laws are implement are feasible and administrators are qualified enough.

@@robertplant2059 USA's "allies" got their cheaper oil and gas cut-off from Russia resulting in inflation etc. They are also forced to lose market shares of their goods due to sanctions, etc. China doesn't do military alliances, and is the top trading country for more than 140 countries out of 193 countries of the world. USA forced heads of countries to meetings in USA, while many heads of countries voluntarily visit China. You are so narrow in your view that you failed to see reality.
Hi Jerry, I have lived in the UK for 53 years. I have travelled extensively in the UK and Europe. I can tell you that European governments are getting more dictatorial all the time. It is hypocritical of them to say that they are democratic whilst criticising other countries. They pass all kinds of laws to control people, including peaceful protests. In the UK the British government, local councils and police provide extra security to Jewish establishments during the current conflict in Gaza, using taxpayers' money, but what security do they give to Palestinian establishments in the UK? Moreover, they allow pro-Israeli marches but try to stop and/or arrest Pro-Palestinian protesters. Anyway, recently the London Police arrested a high profile White man at a Pro-Palestinian demonstration. He did not do anything. He was just being there. But the police said that his presence might incite violent protest. What kind of law is this?
Turning to another matter. Some people think that the Hong Kong government and judges was being harsh to "pro-democracy activists" by trialling and sentencing them to jail. In the UK maybe one to two years ago several men were arrested and subsequently jailed ranging from one to more than three years for climbing up a bridge to protest, hence stopping all the traffic as police had decided to close the bridge crossing. They had not harmed anyone physically. Their lengths of sentences are harsher than those imposed by Hong Kong judges, especially if you take into consideration that some Hong Kong protesters in 2019 were often violent.
Hi Richard, your first point is well made and valid, the second point appears to be driven by Western media - the people who "only climbed a bridge" were also being paid by Western governments to act against China - had they done that in the UK or USA, they would have received 15 yeara and the entire time period before the case was heard would have been in solitary confinement, as Julian Assnge is in the UK, Dan Duggan and Alexander Csergo in Australia are at the moment. Did the violent criminals get a lesser sentence, or have they not yet been brought to justice?
Look at what's happening to David McBride in Australia too, a man who spoke out against murder by Australian soldiers is likely to end up in prison.
HK has done what it needed to do to maintain its security, some people don't like it and some people are going to prison for a long time whether we agree or not is a moot point, they broke the law when they knew (or should have known) the consequences
As for those who have gotten away with it so far, they may have escaped immediate justice but if anyone is convicted of violent crime I'm sure they will be subject to the full force of the law
try walking through trafalgar square with a russian flag
UK PM Sunak is not even elected and voted in by the people of Great Britain. His position is the "Dictatorship of the Party" erroneously labeled as a "democratic". As they say, slapping lipstick on a pig doesn't change it from being a pig - but people tend to be easily deceived, don't they?
香港对反华分子审判严厉？我不知道这是从哪里听来的笑话。
首先，香港的法官到现在还有超过一半拥有双重国籍，我印象中在2019年之前，这个数字是70%。你觉得它们会“严厉”吗？
其次，对这些暴徒和捣乱分子的判罚，一般都是几个月的刑期，很多甚至无罪释放。
Thank you for shedding light on the details of how the European countries, especially the UK, handle their protesters. It’s more reliable than the capitalist-controlled media.
In China, country belongs to people. The west, country belongs to voted politicians. For example, has Western countries passed a referendum on arms support for Ukraine? Will Sweden hold a referendum to join NATO? Joining NATO means that the country will become a battlefield.
Except that the voted politicians are cherry picked from certain quarters that don't come from ordinary Americans like truckers, sales assistants, delivery men, and those of the lower classes. Ever seen an American from that background being voted into office? Does democracy mean only the rich elites can run for elections?
more like the elite behind the scenes decide who should be the leaders despite the “election”
Exactly! In the West, people vote to give free rein to the politicians to pass policies without public consultation and without accountability for the next 4/5 years. If the voters aren't happy, they will have to wait for the next election and hope that the next guy will fulfill some of his promises (they practically never do). It's a system of perpetual "elect and regret".
Very well said
incorrect, in the west, corporations own all govts.
feudal lords, oligarchs and capitalists worked out long ago (in old Europe) that with immense wealth they can create fake entities called corporations, together they pool their wealth, the create lobbyists, and took over all govt agencies and push for privatization, same formula repeated in all capitalist countries.
It i s simply a system based on exploitations of ALL resources including humans, hence in the west, we are called "human resources" to be consumed just like any other resources. Capitalism is NOT here to promote humanity, it is here only for the bottom line/profit. Which is why there are always wars, looting of resources in Europe, all modern world wars starts in Europe, and when U$ corporation came into being in 1776, U$ became the largest terror state in the world....and ever since then U$ has waged wars all around the world. Technically they are not wars, they are simply legalized lootings.
As a citizen and resident in Australia I cannot really figure out what is Western Democracy. A vibrant democracy or democracy is dead. China ‘democracy’ with China characteristics is thriving and shining. No lies no hypocrisy…way to go!
I'm going to make a video about what I think is one of the most damninig aspects of Australia's democracy. I'll be highlighting a huge problem inside Australia's democracy and they will not thank me for it, they will either taunt me or haunt me for it

@jerrystakeonchina799 now that will be worth waiting for
Many Australians are sick of our 2 party system, but they don't know of any alternative. China's system is staring them in the eye, but they're programmed not to look into China's eyes
I am living in China after 30 years in a Western upbringing. They have local levels of management. People are able to complain to local authorities if they find corruption. This local power to squeal on the corrupt makes everyone scare of doing anything wrong. The local authorities can bring someone in to interrogate for 1 year and reporting every day to the police station if they find they are playing games. Things get done this way. I love that President Xi ironed out the corruption fast. Add onto that there are cameras and AI to bring a villain under arrest in 10 minutes. No one ever robs a bank these days. Also because with WeChat payments no one is carrying cash. Lol
All true and it's great, I wonder why Westerners call this type of safety and security a threat to their civil liberties???
🙂👍🙂
Solving corruption is not President Xi's decision, it's from the government. Without him, Chinese government will still do these and implement these policies.
Those governments which always change policies from one to another president, is called dictatorship, like Trump or Biden.
My aunt is a grassroots official. During Hu Jintao's time he used to eat at restaurants with public money, after Xi Jinping came to power he didn't dare to do such bad things.
@@user-cj8vr9mj7b Bad practices need overhauling for sure!
China's system of democracy under socialism of Chinese characteristics is based on the fundamental which is its people. In this system, the people tell the government what to do through government organized consultation activities & the government does its best to meet its people's needs & expectations in balanced strategies. When people criticize or complain about the government's works, the government listens & reacts to them to make things right. It is never autocracy versus democracy as libelled. Rather, it is good governance versus empty talks.
As always Donat, you're spot on
@@jerrystakeonchina799 Thanks, Jerry. You have inspired many readers with your detailed commentary on the structure of the China government, & how it is formed in its selection & election of officials to serve & deliver to its people.
Professional bureaucrats are not swayed by public opinion to make unrealistic promises and lack vision.
@donatwu3128 what word salad is this? Lol if people complained, they listen? I guess all the videos and whistleblowers and real accounts of citizens getting silenced and disappeared are all made up 🤣 good lord
Most of those who claim to be Democratic may not always be so Democratic !
Mr. Jerry you hit the nail in the head.
Whether a country is democratic or not is determined by how it has delivered the betterment of its people-- higher income, better education, improved medical care, lesser crime, improved environment protection. And China has achieved these.
The democracies used to at one time in its early stages seem to do exactly that in providing higher education, improved medical care, lesser crime, more environment protection with the establishment of national parks and wilderness, brighter hope for the future for our kids, and so on. However, rampant capitalism injected into it is like a fast-filling helium balloon that appear to be really "nice" until it begins to deflate and becoming flaccid having run out of "steam" as we are witnessing now.
This is true James and maintained a form of democracy which works for the majority of the people too - a doouble whammy
My own experience of the home of the Westminster system, the UK is that democracy was never about serving the people, not even in my younger years.
Although there was free healthcare, free dental, free universities when I was growing up, they were all established by the Labour Party. My grandfather, who was a coal miner from his childhood to his 65th birthday had no such things for most of his lifetime, the democratic process gave no hope to workers unti the First World War and only then the workers were able to gain a foothold - in the last 20 years or so, everything my grandfather's generation fought for, has all eroded, the working conditions might be better in terms of health and safety but the job security, living wages, and social protections have all gone.
Agree. This is what it is all about. I am tired of some western countries who constantly fighting with labels, You are left or you are Right. You say something you are Left they will dislike you, or say something else oh you are on the Right we need to dis you. Fighting like bunch of children and forget all those things don't matter, they are just name tags.
@@sola4393 True! The MOST IMPORTANT part of their jobs is to take care of the people and the country, BUT many are more interested in taking care of THEMSELVES. Not only is this shameful (they seem to have no sense of shame) but it is probably because the public has such low standards and expectations of their politicians these days that they know that they can get away with anything atrocious and not be held accountable.
I saw the decline in standards and expectations in the U.S. of their leaders starting from around the Bill Clinton era when the public was going around, making excuses for the President when he was caught having his sexual shenanigans in the Whitehouse with an intern. At any other earlier age, if a President of the United States is caught doing what he did, he'd have been castigated and even thrown out of office. However, the public was willing to forgive wily old Bill - and that was the start of the decline in morality.
Fast forward to this day and we can see what Donald trump has been allowed to get away with - and people have given him the excuse that "oh, he was just joking around", "he didn't mean what he said", "that was taken out of context", "his enemies has it in for him", and make up fables concerning his abilities in managing the country. I didn't think that a president needs to have others come to his defense if he has been impeccable in his term in office as the results would speak for themselves but there you are.
Low expectations, even lower standards and you have a mélange of generally no-hopers clamoring for the top job because it has been made so easy for them to occupy it without having to work hard at it for the betterment of the country.
One of the most oft-heard criticisms of the Chinese form of government here in Canada is that there's no transparency and that there's no public debate before a law is passed and enacted. In the West, public debates are the norm, ostensibly to inform the electorate and to prove those in office have nothing to hide, but really just to drive a wedge between different segments of society, hoping to get more voters on one's side. Thus was born the presidential debates in the US, which, for those who have seen them, are more spectacle than debate. China doesn't do public spectacles, China holds its debates in various offices and various agencies with different groups participating, all in private. Only when all the arguments have been heard and a consensus has been reached will the final proposal be tabled. That's not a lack of transparency, it's a show of maturity. Anyone who thinks public debates are better is welcome to watch the upcoming presidential debates in the US, but be warned, Donald Trump's performance can be shockingly immature, illiterate, and shameless. If you still think China should do that kind of thing afterward, I'd like to hear why.
Nice post. I’ll add that debate in the West actually has to be zero sum, non conceding, and disrespectful as “proof” of a thriving “democracy”. When people can’t speak civilly or try to understand others, democratic consensus is impossible.
chinese policies are as clear as sunny days. go read the policies or directions of chinese government websites. And almost 90% of the promised policies are fulfilled!
don’t believe those media n politicians that can’t read chinese, more so, if they told you so
oh, and some of the chinese government websites do have english translation
While Trump is bad there isn’t an honest candidate in either party.
Was there public debate when Canada decided to send billions to Ukraine? Was there debate when the Canadian government decided against a ceasefire in Gaza?

I also think that China has got it right, highly educated and great achievers who have proved their worth. I doubt if some of our British MP's would be qualified to make the tea over here.
I believe having a right-minded person to vote is more important than a person having the right to vote. Otherwise, you just elected a good salesman or a great speaker that hardly delivered their promises.
Exactly what some of the Illuminare Founding Fathers of the United States said and even cautioned about democracy. Ben Franklin even doubted if democracy would work. Washington believed it to be an experiment when the American colonies broke away from England and did away with monarchy rule.
A government chosen by well educated (in all areas including politics) will result in a government for the people. A government chosen by narcissists of self-interested individuals will result in a narcissistic uninterested in working for the common, social good. After all, if you have a room full of clowns to select a leader, who do you think they will elect? Another clown of course!.
Zelansky is a good example of a talented actor who long for being the nation president and then brings the country into a big grave yard.
And I don't believe anyone has a right to vote if they never care/taken interest in politic or have any idea what is going on around the world and in their own country politically. Someone who watch or listen to news once awhile don't qualify having an understanding of the whole picture and the kind of policy the government rolls out. These people who have no idea of what is going on, randomly vote for the best salesman indirectly destroy their own country base on misinformation or misleading promises. Voting should reserve to those who involve themselves almost 24/7 in the politic landscape and those taken interest in politic who is well informed to qualify. Not some rando who think they will get a payout for voting certain candidate. Also the candidate must have demonstrated excellent leadership and care for their people to be elected, not someone having huge wealth or connections to run for presidency, which here I find the China system is far more superior than the western setup.
完全同意，专业的事情必须找专业的人来做！比如生病了必须找专业的医生而不是随便找个人来治疗！
Half of 10,000 20-year-old female college students will vote for a handsome and eloquent actor or sports star. Even though it's a liar who can only act in front of the camera, or a strong retard.
Compared with female college students, I am more willing to believe in those career bureaucrats who have worked for many years and have been promoted step by step, especially in the choice of many people who have the same experience as him, as well as government officials or party elders who have experienced many events in their political life.
Even if there may be vicious competition or political shady, at least this person has experienced work training and the test and supervision of many equally experienced, wise and powerful officials.
Great video on the PRC democracy Jerry. Completely agree that it is more efficient and fair than so called western "democracies"!

Jerry, this is just the explanation i need, so i can share to Wesrern minds. Thanks! Long term govt based on meritocracy vs a short term popularity plutocracy based on a promise of lies and self interests.
Please feel free to share widely and encourage others to share too - I love hearing that my work might be seen by more than just my subscribers, thank you
A good question well explained! Chinese people trust their government because it’s a
meritocracy and the leadership works for the people and promotes unity. Conversely the “democratic” partisan system in the west always leaves a country deeply divided, as in the US. In the UK we have an unelected head of state and unelected House of Lords. Candidates in “safe seats” become MPs without having to have any qualifications or experience. Once elected they toe the party line rather than speak for the constituents. So much for democracy!
Very true and the Party line isn't always for the benefit of the people they represent - especially in the USA but also in any Westminster system
Epilogue: If the hospital were run by democracy, 50% of the budget would have gone to the cafeteria, and the purchase of X-ray and MRI machines is still held up by debates and studies upon studies.
Great point, just like the USA is now!
China cancer rate survival stats are utter shite and doctors per citizen ratio is an absolute shambles.

Thanks Luc
Great take Jerry, good to compare different systems. Each nations to its own, no system is Infallible but China enjoys more freedom and people benefit from such!!
Thanks Boon Teoh
But they don’t have more freedom. That’s absolute bullshit.
Do the 5 million plus slaves in China benefit from it? The 150 million malnourished?
A side note on Authoritarian -- I am sure many people have seen such photos: A brand new highway in China making a detour around a house. Obviously, the homeowner did not want to sell, so the highway had to go around it. An authoritarian regime would have thrown the owner out and bulldozed the house.
This is the difference between the way Westerners and Easterners think about things. The government has to do what is in the interest of the majority, at the expense of a small minority in the process, whereas Western democracy takes care of the interests of a small number of wealthy people
China bulldozes homes all the time.
I’m not in America right now, but clearly we are authoritarian about corporatism and its inequalities as seen in poverty, medical care, and increasingly so. Overseas, our authoritarian ways are much more violently practiced. But America is not the same at it is because of racial characteristics or anything else the right wing will point at. Looking at the actual, practical mechanism, it’s filled with corruption. It’s just that we changed the law so we can’t call it that anymore. China has been cracking down hard on corruption (even with capital punishment?), while we are seeing corruption infiltrate deeper into our society.
What you said can be summed up in a simple chart from a Princeton University Study of US election history:
How many people are aware of the REALITY of present day's Western democracies, eg. in the USA: where democracy can and has been legally hijacked by extreme capitalism:
th-cam.com/video/5tu32CCA_Ig/w-d-xo.html
😮
The great Donald Trump wants to make America great again. But the American people don't support him on second chance election.
In the US, they give their corruption in a legitimate name called LOBBYING! Imagine the billions in money legally pocketed, for the sake of the corporations...
An obsession with a good governance system must contain democracy is a western doctrine that Chinese people never subscribe, even as an ethnic Chinese living in the west in the past 50 years. The bottom line is there is no one system that suit all.
A simple example is if 99% of the population are illiterate a dictatorship can be more effective than letting everyone have a voice. The other factor is the sharing of resources. Let say if the world has only Jerry in China and Rishi Sunak in UK then both can have the unlimited freedom without any consequence because there is no point to have more resource if one have the entire UK or China. However if UK has the same population of China its democracy will collapse whereas if China's population is reduced to just 65 million every Chinese will have much more freedom in sharing the natural resources and the country could be run with a lot less disciplines.
Thus a country must have a governance suitable for its people and it geographical constrains. The choice of governance cannot be dictated by the western preference. More importantly the governance system must be able to "change, improve, revise and update" to suit the people's need. Putting a label and rigidly constraining the government to change and improve just because it is not a democratic practise is a sure recipe for decline, as the direction most of western economies now heading.
Chinese are practical. They don't believe having the ballot box is the way for a better world but hard work, united goal, common consensus/opinion and a government that is always committed to improve the life of the population(as defined by the Chinese Communist Party's constitutions) are more appropriate. The other important difference between Chinese leadership and the west is in China only people with skill and experienced "already proven" in government office could advance to the leadership level. People on the street have respect for them and will support them together with the supreme power of the country "the People's Congress". Everyone in the People's Congress has to be the community leader, an authority in his/her field or recognised major industrialist. It is the People's Congress who elect and appoint the leader in China. The current Chinese government is actually the same that has been using for thousands of years. The difference is in place of an emperor it is the constitutions of the CPC which has been regularly revised too.
China is governed by a culture! Every traditionally educated Chinese is aspired to serve the country as the ultimate goal in life. The scientists who produce innovations, manufacturers who bring commercial success, the military people who achieve weapon break through, the simple folks who did poverty alleviation and the common people who spend years to plant trees in the desert all see themselves fulfilling their dream of making an important contribution to the community. This is no a propaganda but is genuinely the 5000+ years Chinese culture of life accomplishment and self fulfilllment. For thousands of years Chinese are not political but putting the community interest at the centre of everything.
Very well said I agree with every word here Sumwong, however, I don't want to be the leader of China, even if it did only have 65 million people :-))

I tried to raise the issue of racism since covid to every level of government.
During a recent federal election i attended a few town hall meetings for the first time to see my local member. My member is the treasurer and is only outrank by the prime minster.
I had to submit the questions to be asked beforehand. And i was never called up to be given the opporunity to ask those questions. After a few town hall visits, i also noticed the question that were ask by the audience were ALWAYS the same. At first i though that they just screen for favourable questions. Then a man in a suit managed to ask a few questiond regard Julian Assange and the safety of the vaccine. When he demanded the politican(he dodge the quest) answer his questions, he was escorted out with cheers and applause from the audience. I later met up with that guy and he told me the questioners were all hired actors as were the people who started to applause when he was escorted out. He then show me some vids on his phone where he looked like a hippie in another gathering and he pointed to some people in those vid and sure enough they were in the audience that day.
Westetn democracy. Its a just a sideshow
There we go, I think he's probably right - there seems little point in submitting questions to be asked when no onw is going to ask them - one way to do it is, as I did a few months ago - write an open letter, getting published is difficult bur if you do then, like mine, you might go viral - in my case, I went viral in China will well in excess of a million views of the translation of my open letter to Jame Cleverly. It was published in Australia too but not in Mainstream Media
China is more Democratic than the US or UK. For a second, I thought this was a trick question 🤣.
Anyway, Ponder Upon This :
The Western Society is divided into 2 economic extremes, the rich & the poor.
The US debt is going to hit USD34 trillion before 20th Dec 2023. Only the richest 20% of Americans still have excess pandemic savings.
The total household debts have reached USD17.29 trillion in Q3 2023, driven by Mortgage, Credit Card & Student Loan.
As at 2021, % of income tier as follows :
Lower Income 29%
Middle Income 50%
Upper Income 21%
The middle income bracket has shrunk considerably in 2023 although official stats not available yet.
The US uses Median Average Income as method of calculation that is inaccurate. Actual situation is far worse. The Middle Income Earners are diminishing at an alarming rate and credit card loans are driven up. However, credit card loans will soon be a luxury as the cost of borrowing becomes too expensive.
How's that for Western Democracy???
Western democracy is just an illusion. Democracy in the West is best defined as anything that suits the ruling elites narrative even if it means committing war crimes or genocide in other countries or twisted perception of gender or anything immoral. Westerners live under the delusion that they are living in a democracy simply because they get to vote, oblivious to the fact that whoever or whichever party they voted in, is just the left or right cheek of the same arsehole. Meanwhile nothing ever changes for the better, it just gets worse with each year. (Dont they ever learn 🙄).
There is no such thing as absolute freedom because that will create chaos, promote moral decadence and nurture self centredness.
Law is defined as Moral Code of Conduct, hence why there must be policies to guide and nurture the population into the right path towards a sustainable growth including personal & national development and create justifiable society.
Western leaders promote all the wrong things because they distract the masses from the real problems before their very eyes. They corrupt everything including Education. Individualism of all kinds are put on the pedestal because it destroys the fabric of societal harmony. The right to do something at the expense of the other is not freedom or a human right. It is called self-centred. One good example is the right to own a gun may be the anguish of another. Westerners end up confused and fight over the most mundane of things including gender identity.
The true democracy is one that serves the people; one that gives freedom to live one's life in safety, one that cultivates good moral values, one that guarantees good education for all, one that ensures everyone regardless of academic level or race can make ends meet, one that strives to make lives better, one that makes healthcare available & affordable, one that makes connectivity convenient, one that looks after the old, one that looks after the environment. All these can be seen and experienced in the current system of governance of the CPC, China. I can't say the same about Western Democracy.
The Westerners just cannot wrap their heads around the real concept of a true democracy, not all but a good majority of them because they suffer from CSDS from decades of indoctrination by their govt. In case you're wondering what CSDS is, it's Common Sense Deficiency Syndrome 😄 (consequence of Western Democracy).

Well said 👍👍👍
Wow, what a great response, thank you PLFong
@@jerrystakeonchina799 you're welcome.
What true democracy has never been better articulated, in its simplest form.
Additionally,
China has no problem with the governing system of other countries. It believes that is the choice of their people. Isn't that true blue international democracy?. The Western countries, with the US in the lead, are the true blue DICTATORSHIPS. They think they are entitled to tell and force other countries by what and how they should govern themselves. What could be more dictatorial than that?.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 good vid, mate. some other questions for you, jerry, can the US and UK handle this thing called democracy, or for the same matter, freedom or free speech ??? in china, everyone, from ordinary, civil servants to elected officials, is accountable for their actions and what they said, whereas in the western form of "democracy", one can almost get away with murder and just blame it on policy failures; iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria, solimeni, regime change, warmongering etc etc - there should really be a set of international standard and/or rules on "professional negligence" to make sure that all govt and elected officials can and will held responsible for their policies or whatever when they are on the job ...
Oh yeah, in the US/UK democracy and freedom have been cleverly morphed by the incumbent politicians to serve their selfish interests not the silly electorates' interest/wellbeing lol.
Great question and the answer is no, they keep writing stronger and stronger legislation to prevent freedom of speech and democracy has died in the water!
Just because they are given to vote and protest means democracy, but unfortunately their govt is not listening and working for the people.
People in democracies are kept under the illusion that because they can freely talk even rubbish, they are free when by talking rot, they are wasting time and energy without getting anything done. China has rules against this type of taking rot. Constructive criticism is welcomed but not destructive ones.
We have seen how in our western democracies, opposition parties can always say "No" to any and all government proposed projects but seldom have we heard of workable solutions as alternatives to their negative "No's" to the government. The exact same thing occurs in pressure groups like the 'Greenies" - environmentalists - who would protest and say "No!" to the use of plastics but have no useable, workable alternatives (they say, let's use paper instead but have forgotten how they used to protest once upon a time against the use of "too many paper products" because of "deforestation", they say let's use cloth and natural fibers instead of plastics for hospital gowns without realizing that microbes find these easier places to hide in and fester as they once did before plastics came).
Free speech has consequences when it is not accompanied by logical, meaningful, common sense or else, one may as well open the doors to the lunatic asylums and give consideration to all the babblings that emanate from them. In fact, when one is to listen to what comes out from the mouths of some U.S. lawmakers like Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Josh Hawley and even Nikki Hayley to name a selected few, one may come to the conclusion that the asylum gates have indeed been opened.
Does the Chinese government listen to its 5.8 million slaves? Where is Peng Shuai?
You are indeed admirably a very well knowledgeable in Chinese History and current affairs! Every words every sentence you said with clear voice and truthful often with supporting references! Thank you once again Jerry.👍🏻🙏🏼
Thanks David - I have good teachers - my wife is much more knowledgeable than me, but shy about coming on camera
The world needs your VOICE!!!!
Jerry you put it in very clear perspective, you need a trained & proven person to do certain job, like engineer & doctor, not the most popular!
Thanks Derek
While the west elect lawyers, actors, salesmen and clowns to lead their country. 😂
Hong Kong now is carrying out its District Council Elections. A lot of candidates pop up from nowhere. I don't know them, don't even know of them. Why should I vote for anyone of them? Even if I vote for one, he/she will disappear after the election. What is the sense of election? A lot of Hong Kongers are just like me.
I guess a lot of it is about how much you inform yourself but, to be honest, I'd rather see someone I don't know applpying to represent me so I can go and find out what that person has done, than see a person parachuted in from another region to a safe seat so the party can get its alloted number of seats with it's preferred candidates - also in HK I suspect they aren't allowed to spend millions of dollars to get elected so it's really about the electorate informing themselves, rather than the media misinforming them.
Loved and shared. Keep it up.
Thanks Daniel
When you said everyone born in Chain has the same right, I have to disagree with it. Minority actually has more right then Han, they could have more children during one child policy period, they can get into university with lower mark even today. However, all Han Chinese are okay with that. Willing to sacrifice and considerate makes China today.
Those are some of China's legislated special minority privileges, not basic Chinese citizenship's rights.
They are good examples of "equitable" considerations by the majority for the minority for the whole society/country/civilization to be united in order to progress together.
It recognizes the immense diversities and complex and long histories of the people of the Chinese civilization.
That's true, the minorities do have more privileges, but they don't have more rights
Yep... 👍👍👍 When the US was founded, voting was based on one thing: It's all about Property Ownership. I couldn't vote under that system even though I am White & Male. My friend from HS could've voted for a time, having inherited his parents' house. But that was sold off awhile back. I like to remind those whingeing about Women not being allowed to vote that 1) I couldn't have voted either and 2) There was actually an "Anti-Suffragist" movement among women. One reason was a fear of Conscription. But also it seems if you and your husband ran a Pub in those days, the fear was that Women voting would've caused your business to be shut down. And actually, it did: It was called Prohibition 😀
Same in the UK, you needed to be a property owner to vote - and even now, they still have a House that can override the parliament and where not one of them are elected - the House of Lords
And, on top of who can actually vote, nowadays... even if you can vote, you can only vote for a very limited field of candidates, all of which must either be in the top 3% of real wealth owners or enjoy their support in order to stand for election. 😮😅
Another aspect that is neglected in Western civics was the complete lack of democracy at the local level. Mayors were appointed by state officials until the Jacksonian democracy movement in the US and the Chartalist movement in the UK.
Also the complete lack of democracy outside of civics. If the Democrats believed in democracy, they would be pushing for codetermination like in Germany, or in China.
Democracy only works in a homogeneous society -
1. Voters same education level. Understands big issues rather segments get caught in petty needs.
2. Voters same economic level. No buyout of the poor with small gifts.
3. Candidates equal access to Media.
4. Candidates equal financial support to fund election.
5. Each Constituents are of same size in voters.
6. Voters and Candidates same race and religion.
In Islamic countries, non-Islamic candidates will never get voted in. Democracy just means the majority get to supress the minority by law.
Such equitable "ideal" conditions do not exist. That's why political ideologies are all human "idealism", and shouldn't be confused with actual political practice.
And, in ALL Western societies, it has become the "accepted" norm that politicians can (and actually need to) lie in order to get voted into office!
How many people are aware of the REALITY of present day's Western democracies, eg. in the USA: where democracy can and has already been legally hijacked (by extreme capitalism/Military-Industry-Media-Academia-Complex):
th-cam.com/video/5tu32CCA_Ig/w-d-xo.html
😮
Socrates, Greek philosopher once asked this question about democracy "If you were heading out on a journey by sea, asks Socrates, who would you ideally want deciding who was in charge of the vessel? Just anyone or people educated in the rules and demands of seafaring? The latter of course, says Adeimantus, so why then, responds Socrates, do we keep thinking that any old person should be fit to judge who should be a ruler of a country?"
Great point, all the way back to the founding of the system!
Thanks Jerry, always learn something new from your talk. Honest and well researched.
Thank you again Gollygosh
No law to protect government officers in China, e.g Qingang as USA embassy promoted to foreigner minister then later demoted.
Exactly!
In China:
Meritocracy performance.
Same for the president post , not fancy promises and blaming others to escape failure.
达不到应有的成绩，就被问责
Jerry You say what I think. Thank You. ❤
Totally a very logical explanation. I often wonder why every single position out there requires specific training and work experience, but it seems like the only exemption is being countries' leaders. Very interesting... no wonder our world is a mess up place...
Not all the world, the Chinese system works very well and so does the Singaporean
Democracy's purpose is to seek people's opinions.
One little-known fact: some of the World's most respected public opinion research companies have the Chinese government as their clients.
That doesn't surprise me - I can see there's a video in there somewhere but then again, I'd prefer if the US government funded them and they found what they weren't looking for! The truth...
Jerry, I couldn't agree with you more. Take a look at the crazy guy from Argentina. I am amazed by the wisdom of the Argentinian. China system is like a corporate, only the able one pulls ahead and lead.
I think democracies everywhere are looking at their own systems and electing extremists, it's happened in several European countries, several South and Central American countries and it's ver ylikely to happen in the USA - it's a clear indicator that normality has failed, democracy has failed and people are searching for answers - the Argentinian is just the most recent in a long list - Italy, Poland, Holland, there are more and more coming in who are extreme right because people are realising the centre isn't working
China is a nation-corporate, in my opinion. They do everything to become prosperous.
US Democracy = Fly a plane by giving the passengers the right to decide how to fly the plane (freedom)
Chinese democracy = One person, an appointed specialist in flying, pilots and flies the plane (accused of being a dictator, no freedom)
I think I'd rather be in a plane that lands everyone safely and on time.😁😗😂
Me too and when my appendix comes out, I want a specialist!
I agree. What I learned recently as a young adult is freedom doesn't always give safety. Sometimes it does, when done properly. But "unlimited freedom" is just blatantly dangerous for everyone. We must put a bit of a limit to freedom for the sake of everyone's safety.
@@rusticcloud3325 Unlimited freedom = ANARCHY - what "The Wild West" used to be and why it was called, "wild".
Freedom is a double edged sword. Look what happens when God gave Adam and Eve too much freedom to choose?
@@feichengwurao320 Exactly. Freedom without responsibility leads to dictatorship by accountability in the end.
At the development stage it is better if every body works together for the common good.

Thank you for another great & illuminating lecture/video, Jerry 🙏 !
My pleasure and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment again
Feudalism has been replaced by capitalism in the West and democracy as such has been invented. But are we any more peaceful and prosperous keeping in mind the peace of mind related to family and faith? I think not. But I do believe that China is on the best path.
(Quote & U quote) *_Prof. Donald Hoffman_* says,
_"Capitalism and Democracy are for the unenlightened, Socialism and Communism are for the enlightened."_
CPC is a people's party; of the people, for the people and with the people. I must say, it's impressive.
For the 5.8 million slaves and the ‘educational ‘ camps. For Peng Shuai ? Great tennis player. Such a lovely government, right?
Jerry, excellent summary of the Chinese government's workings, again you have done your homework well and your knowledge of China is exemplary.
I might add that the US founding fathers thought democracy was bad for the US so the world 'democracy' is not found in the US Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence. In today's world, the US government is almost dysfunctional, with a major two party system locked in gridlock focused on destroying the other party and not focusing on building and growing the US economy and well being of its people. It seems the priority for the US government is for funding the military, with domestic priorities taking a second seat. What has evolved in the US is not democracy, per say, but a plutocracy of corporate interests and high wealth individuals who have the ability to sway our representatives to vote on their behalf. It is democracy of the rich. Democracy in the US is but a mask of what the US truly is, a country run by the oligarchs of America.
"Many will be shocked to learn that the word “democracy” was neither used in the Declaration of Independence nor in the Constitution. Indeed, the Founding Fathers were anxious and fearful of allowing any form of tyranny, including the tyranny of the majority." (Cato Institute)
"When legislators propose new laws, they don't always write the bills themselves. Corporations, interest groups or their lobbyists often write fill-in-the-blank (USA Today)
"It is fair to say that governments that consistently produce the outcomes their citizens desire are democratic, while those that consistently fail to produce the outcomes their citizens desire results are not......The Chinese Constitution--"employs it (the word democracy) thirty-eight times." (Godfrey Robert's book: Why China Leads the World)

A good explanation of China's government structure and how it functions was given by Eric Li in a TED talk, 'A Tale of Two Political Systems.'
www.ted.com/talks/eric_x_li_a_tale_of_two_political_systems?language=en
Eric Li is brilliant, thanks for this link, I have seen it but I hope others will to.
Thank you for your kind words and that's a great observation that democracy isn't even in the constitution or the declaration - I hadn't joined that dot to the other one and the Cato Institute is a worthwhile site for research - they have some great info on the Amendments
Thank you for sharing your insight about Democracy & Happy New Year Jerry!👍🙏🙂
Same to you and thank you
Jerry! Jerry!🎉🎉 THAT is the type of video I was talking about. Outstanding.
Yes, here in the U.S. many public officials can simply resign their positions and investigations into their actions stop.
I once worked (reluctantly) for an important state legislator, whose party later maneuvered him to lose his seat (after I left). He was elected a county clerk, a position that here in Tennessee can easily become a lifetime appointment as they always get reelected. However, he started pocketing some of the fees, to the extent that criminal investigations were begun. He was allowed to simply resign, the investigation stopped by law, AND he got to keep the money.
That's exactly what wouldn't happen in China. In the past, they would have gotten away with it but no way nowadays

Thank you Jerry
A well-researched, insightful analysis of China's political system, Jerry! I hope some western poly-science scholars/researchers will see this and and get a better understanding of China's governance. Keep up the good work!
Thank you again Syncmaster, I will
A rule of the people, for the people and by the people. Why is that so difficult to achieve? I think Gandhi hit the nail on the head when he said that there will always be enough for everybody's needs but never enough for anyone's greed. For a country that believes greed is good, it would be impossible to achieve that ideal. But it sounds cool though, to say it, to write it, especially to advertise it, so we'll just continue to proclaim it.
Another aspect of USA style democracy is two wolves and a pig voting to determine which one of themselves will be tonight dinner.
Thank you Jerry! Wonderful researched and delivered. Congrats.
THank you too
Neil Oliver has this to say about democracy, "Democracy in the west is like the toy steering wheel a parent fixes to the dashboard of a car to entertain a toddler, making him think he's steering the car..."
That's a great analogy Kevin
Doesn’t matter what system, what’s work is more important ! No Corruptions ! No Citizen in Poverty ! Happy !
Yeah China has done great last 100 yrs. Wow, what a system. Same brsinwashed shite. Yes China still has citizens in poverty.
Thanks 🎉for clarifying something very important which most people around the world misunderstand ( being influenced by western propaganda) about China ❤
My pleasure Mr Cosmos, thanks for watching
And no one gets influenced by Chinese propaganda and Chinese online propaganda, right?
A matter of fact, the leaders who concern more of the country's affairs are good leaders.
Most leaders in the world care more of their own interests rather than own countries and people's affairs. China is exceptional.
This is true - I watched people like Mike Pence making speeches during his tenure and every time he started, he started with: "under the leadership of president Trump..." I personally saw very little leadership but a lot of showmanship!
China's governing system seems great in that one has to earn their way to the top, a system of meritocracy.
I used to love American Democracy until I realized that there's no democracy in America. Our say about our government's reckless spendings went in one ear and out the other, as with our $1 trillion defense budget, 600k homeless issue, old infrastructure, etc. Yes, we have freedom of (hate) speech.
It takes some time to realise that what we've been taught is not the reality we thing it is. Americans don't have free speech at all, they have controlled parameters on how the speech can be used - if they had free speech, why would RT be banned? Why would someone like me be suppressed by social media? Why would the FBI ask Facebook and Twitter to suppress people they thought might incite revolution? And we know they did exactly that - that isn't free speech at all, that's the complete opposite of it
There is a spectrum, if we stay inside of it, we are allowed to say what we want, if we stray outside of it, we are prosecuted - look at the Jan 6th protestors, hundreds have been prosecuted, thousands have been interviewed and all because they felt they had a genuine grievance and wanted to speak about it - their words were deplatformed or ignored by the elected representatives so they did the only thing they thought was right - they used the second amendment to arm themselves against their government. Suddenly that Amendment needs to be looked at to see if it not a "permission" to usurp the government.
@@jerrystakeonchina799what free speech does China have? Compare both. Same shite on all these channels. Never an in depth analysis of both. Just bash one country and only praise the other.
Freedom of hate speech is what makes me sad about the people in the US.
very important points, thank you for sharing!
Well said. Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍
Hi Jerry,
In countries with a democratic system of government such as US, UK and Australia, why are there no mechanisms in place to ensure the person who gets elected as leader is not just anyone off the street, but has enough political skills and experience in politics?
More important than in politics, skills and experience in governance.
Because, in the theoretical democracy, the elected can come from the common people
What's different about China is that the elected ARE from the common people but the Administration is managed by bureaucrats, in the same way the US or Australia is - imagine the Parliament not being the ultimate decision maker but the civil service, with years of tradition, culture and experience, being guided by them. The common people say, this is what we want, the government says, ok, we'll deliver that for you
That's kind of like what happens in China Colin
@@jerrystakeonchina799The difference in China is that before an official is eligible to be a presidential candidate, he must have served as a top official at the county, municipal and provincial levels of government, and his provincial governor's resume must be in an economically developed and important province. Generally speaking, it takes at least 20 years to complete such a triple jump, even if it is promoted by rocket. After that, he must also have the resume of a member of the Central Committee for at least one term, which is equivalent to a vice president and a deputy prime minister with clear responsibilities.
Even Xi ， who has a deep background and strong connections, has this complete resume.
Thirty years of accumulated experience have enabled them to know how to maintain and manage this huge country correctly, to understand clearly the problems and operational mechanisms faced by local governments at all levels, and to make more mature and reliable decisions in the face of tremendous pressures and challenges.
Thank you Jerry. Good that you brought up UK which I would have never thought of :)
I believe Jerry is more knowledgeable on China than a lot of people in the west. ❤
Thanks Ian, I've been here a while and I do a lot of travelling a lot of research and a little studying - I do know somethings about China but will never call myself an expert, only someoone born and raised here can really get into the culture fully but many of them will not understand Western culture so they can't be experts either - we just need a little understanding to go a long way
China will never reclaim TAIWAN by force, instead a ocean bridge is under construction ! ! ! . Like the Chilean proverb goes " a trick works better that force "
It's not even a trick Juan, most people would be very happy to see it happen but sadly, the bridge and tunnel system is not under construction yet, it's just a plan for the future - thje Bridge from HK couldn't go ahead until well after reunification and, in building it, China adhered to every agreement they had made with the UK
Another great take on a difficult topic Jerry. Chinese system is a different system altogether from the western system of Democracy. It is like comparing an apple to an orange. The CCP's manisfesto is: "at the service of the people" (为人民服务), it is akin to a government of the people, by the people and for the people. However, the Chinese system is still not perfect. Xi has been emphasising the importance of "the rule of law" (法治) instead of "the rule of individual's power" (人治), so he is aware of the inherent problem.
CCP is the Cuba's Communist Party. China's is CPC.
All true Terry but, as the other comment here says, it's the CPC, not the CCP. People get this worng all the time because Western media wants to portray it as something it isn't, it's the Communist Party first and foremest, it belongs to China but it's never the Chinese Communist Party its the Communist Party of China, CPC.
Thanks Jerry for the correction. 🙏
And yet Xi is the very person who dare to change the Chinese constitution in order to give way for his seemingly “unlimited terms” as CCP chairman? China is not ruled by law, far from it.
This is possibly your best video yet among all the many fine videos you've made. It's extremely informative and factual. Even I learned a lot from it.
Americans are indoctrinated to believe in their political ideology. That means that, even if in practice it's poorly implemented and a source of many difficulties, Americans will adhere to their system come hell or high water.
Americans do not understand how problematic their system, based on partisanship, is. Or if they do understand, they are too brainwashed to admit it.
US elections are no better than popularity contests. They make no allowance for competent leadership. That's why George Washington opposed partisanship.
Thank you sir, you might like one I have in mind for the coming days even more - it's an Australian based true story but could be applied anywhere in the democratic world" where free speech is espoused but never granted
this was great video best power point i have ever heard in many years just truth no lies like our politics
Thank you
Fascinating talk and perspective. Truly a piece of music to my ears listening to all the facts and your mature analysis that hardly exist on mainstream media.
Thanks Max
In China，the National People's Congress is composed of people from all walks of life and ethnic minorities who have made contributions to the society and these representatives pass the bills. However, in Western parliaments, people's voices are absent, only politicians involve in passing bills. Which government really represents people, works for people and stands for peoole?
In political sense, Chinese people are very practical. They do not believe in rhetorical mouth, they focus on contributions and value merit.
All true, I wish Westerners would learn this as well as you know it Juyin, thank you
@jerrystakeonchina799
Thank you Jerry for your video!
Hey Jerry this was a very informative video well done.
I agree with you 100% no governing system is 100% perfect i myself am Dutch and still live here in the Netherlands but if you where to present me a choice to where to live America or China? i would pick China period.
China is a progressive country.
America the so called land of the free it's not far from it is becoming a backwards country it's regressing.
Here in the West and especially over there in the Divided States of America they always claim that China is collapsing i don't believe those lies period.
Have you seen the state of America nowadays? homelessness is on the rise over there unfortunately.
A crumbling infrastructure.
School shootings.
Mass shootings.
Divisive policies.
A way too expensive healthcare system.
Poverty is on the rise over there yet again unfortunately.
The sad truth is that the Divided States of America is collapsing not China China is doing just great maybe even better than that?😊
Other than that a great video keep up the great work Jerry👍
And greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
Thank you so much Didier, I see your country just voted an interesting character into the PM's job, it's not a surprise that Europe, in several countries is going the way of the far right - it's a social experiment I think that will try left and right because central politics isn't working to well for all the reasons you've listed above. Italy, Poland, Hungary and others are opting for a different system and the EU doesn't like it, neither does the USA - times are definitely changing
China is the 54th most prosperous with 5.8 million slaves, 1.3 million more homeless than US, a 21% youth unemployment rate. A 144 th rated healthcare system with appalling doctors per citizen ratio and awful cancer rate survival , and nowhere near the same medical innovation as US. Awful holidays off work like US. Awful life expectancy like US.
Mass stabbings, endless child kidnapping. And most homes in rural China are worse than the huts Americans have in there gardens.
Great vid. Thanks again, Jerry.

Jerry, arguing about which form of democracy is the best is like arguing whether eating with fork and spoon, chopstick or with your fingers like my Indian friends is the best.
Not really.
To a point yes - but my point is not that China's democracy is better, it's that it's better for China - and I agree with you, chopsticks are definitely better for eating noodles, I can't manage them with a fork anymore!

How can you be a dictator and be democracy at same time? Say what you want.about democracy..but under communist regime..things like cultural revolution and tianmen square incident was possible.
There's so many well documented accounts by now of people getting silenced and disappear for having a different view of the government....everyone in china literally knows if u talk about taboo topics on wchat, you risk getting a knock on the door at night or a trip to the police station....you seem to ignore all of that?
During covid...the government can do what they wish and you have zero say...the whole world has seen footage of metal gates being welded shut preventing people from leaving apartments causing deaths due to no fire exit and pet dogs killed thinking covid can spread...all of these documented ...none of this happens in other countries...your video is bias af

As usual. Excellent commentary. Definitely learned something from here. Thanks.
Good title. More than often other vloggers try to avoid conflicts and use sarcastic titles. Much better to use direct statements like this.
Thanks Michael, I do try to not use clickbait - it might account for why my videos on China get 10-20k and some of the others gt a million, but I prefer to maintain my integrity on this one
Direct statements are bigger clickbaits-China has more rights than the US; Chinese are freer than Americans; Chinese are richer than Americans; Chinese are happier than Americans; Chinese are lovelier than Americans; Chinese food tastes much better than American.

China's closest analog is the Corporation. Western style modern Democracy 's analog is the College Fraternity .
Excellent explanation. Thanks!
I studied the American Revolution period, and based on the Founding Fathers’ general ideas, you are correct Jerry! Even some “Anti-Federalists” promoted a theory of consultation at the local level, which is what China does in practice. In practice, China meets the theories even of the American Revolution, as far as I’ve seen, better than the US: life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and rights of property.
China doesn’t let the capitalists dictate the policy, unlike the whole West, nor do they let imperialists dictate the policy, unlike the whole West, nor does China let colonial-minded people dictate policy, unlike the whole West, and nor does China let bigots dictate policy, unlike in the whole West. Great video, and perspective you shared.
Thank you - knowing you studied is a good validation for what I've been trying to tell Americans, it's not that all Americans are wrong, it's that they are misinformed - they think they are right and China is some kind of authoritarian nightmare - it most certainly isn't
Very interesting, that explains to some extent the mind blowing progress in China. You have a new subscriber, wish I could live in China too.
