- In the talk, Olivia Cheung present the main findings of The Political Thought of Xi Jinping, the new book she co-authored with Steve Tsang for Oxford University Press. She offer a contextualized interpretation of the meaning of Xi’s major doctrines and concepts on Chinese politics, economy, society, and foreign policy. It is argued that the vision of Xi Thought can be distilled into two core elements or ambitions. The first is to create “one state, one people, one ideology, one party, and one leader.” The second is to make China great again and better than any other country in the world. The presentation conclude with a discussion of China’s direction of travel under Xi and its implications for China and the world.

Excellent - Rarely have I heard such a balanced analysis of Xi and contemporary China. Thank you Dr Cheung.
Great chat. Dr. Olivia Cheung is superb!
Dr Olivia Cheung explained so much so concisely. I very much appreciated her comments and clarity, as well as, her balanced presentation of Xi Jin Ping's goals, failures and successes.
An excellent presentation by Dr Olivia Cheung.
Brilliant! A tour de force! Thank you. Best wishes.
Brilliant delivery, depth of content, and interpretation Dr. Cheung.
1. Xi is greatly saddened by the foreign countries' invasion in China and Chinese sufferings for very long time. He has strong will to make China great again so as to deter the intention of foreign invasion. In addition , Xi has the mission to straighten current " world order " which is mainly dominated by hegemony ( MIGHT IS RIGHT ). It would be very good news to the world if he can successfully implement this mission.
2. 习近平对外国屡次侵略中国以及中国人遭受的苦难 ，极度深恶痛绝 ，因而下定决心令中国兵强民富，震慑虎视眈眈的外国。此外 ，他对当前 “ 强权就是公理 ” 的所谓 “ 国际秩序 ”， 深深不以为然 ，因而想方设法要纠正这股歪风 ，只有强大的军事、科技和经济实力才能办到 。。。如果他的宏愿能实现 ，那是全球最大的福祉 。。。、
You are too academic, Xi primary abition its to keep its 1.4 billions population feed & happy as simple as that. This is a very impossible task & if he think the way you are thinking China will be destroyed by the west.
100% agreed. She is looking at it way too academically.
The discussion. After this level of success is who would do it better for the 1.4 billion at this time?
Or again, how would anyone do better and protect chonas success from the West? Which has become a real threat for China?
@@177DNAtlantashe is a very shallow minded woman. her education is not rooted from the Chinese history and cultural context. she is just a mimic of the West, don’t have one piece of her special insight about China. and her Chinese face gives her the fake credit to Western audience. sad for that.
It appears that Xi Jinping thought is exactly the same as Deng Xiao Ping thought. Primacy of the party, economic strength and millitary development and finally social equality and thus order. This has always been the goal
From my personal perspective Mr.Xi Jin-Ping he has good intention to enhance Chinese youth self-confidence; his last character Ping 平 which expect the future generations from 95,00’s generations and etc. aim foreigners on the equal footing not like those fading old generations such as 50,60,70, perhaps some 80’s generations . He is wise statesman .
Thank you for teaching us that discipline and the demabd for obedience is unavoidable in all successful, sustainable societies, but that successful countries that lose touch with the people of their territories cannot remain sustainable for long.
It is disingenuous to say that Xi Jinping's though originated in 2017 without considering the years that led to his formulation of the Chinese Dream. The pivotal change to Chinese worldview is when Obama -H.Clinton pivot to East Asia six years earlier in 2011 to put most of US military on numerous bases around China. It takes years to formulate a strategic views, and Xi was in the discussion within the Politburo for years on the US continually aggressive stance against China until he was elected President in 2013
She didn't say Xi Jinping thought originated in 2017, but rather that it was formally introduced to the public at that time.
Thank you for this valuable research and storying of Xi Jinping's 'Political Thought', I look forward to pondering on this work. Especially given that the world now urgently needs an alternative world order to that of a dominant yet failing liberal democratic world order. My hope is that a Eurasian centric world order is appearing to Xi to be more compatible with his thoughts than a Sino centric world order. Unconditional acceptance of the CPC is not possible, hence also not compatible with Xi's thoughts; at least one principle condition is essential; that the party continues to serve and satisfy the people first and foremost. This after all is an essential component of democracy.
As anybody can tell when talking to any normal people in China, there is NO one ideology and NEVER will be. People will always believe what they want to believe.
The only truth is, when you buy a chicken it will always be a chicken, but not a duck. One can never fool people on that, at least not the Chinese.
Chinese only believe good money and a better life.
Chinese will not blindly follow all idealisms without customised and modified to its social economic and cultural environment.
Great presentation, thank you!
非常好，给您点个赞👍🏻
Interesting.
Doesn't every country want the same ? Why the surprise?
Enjoyed this and I have her book.
Dr. Olivia articulated Xi's mentality and world view fantastically.
Lee Kuan Yew summed it up very beautifully when he equated Xi to Mandela. A man of great breadth. Lee Kuan Yew is a somebody, one of 5 to be America’s president as said by another somebody, Kissinger. So go get your recognitions before you even appear.
言論表面好像很客观公正，其實用詞中加入好些主观偏激的形容詞 imaginative romantic......
I think she is fair in assessment of Xi to ideal leader. But i agree, do we have any leader such as Xi, anywhere in the western world.
Any government of China have to focus on compliance because the population is too massive to content. If there's not this aspect the China government just can't survive of the long term liberal view of the world. There would be chaos and factions and then multiple governments appearing... I don't know what's best for Chinese people maybe it's the solution maybe it's the problem but the focus should be on the less violence possible into any process. How much people die of bad conditions right now vs how many would just kill themselves for a fair trade of resources for the few in power. I think China, at least, in this regime, made the material condition less violent on an average. The next problem is the economy they will have to develop into a place where people live in good conditions and refuse to be cheap labour. They should think about moving hard on having cheap resources, another countries that could do like them and reinforce them industrial force and use the cheap labour in place to develop too while China is feeding the new techs and knowledge for moving production there. They will have to act like the US and promote cheap energy and industrial base and knowledge and foremost good material condition for everyone and development of proper infrastructures.
Western view for sure!
China does not need to be perfect in this damaged international community.
China is surviving and some.... and helping the global south to survive!
I agree. Could you imagine if we had leaders like Xi in the west?
The way I understand the CCP is in terms of Carl Schmitt's definition of politics as a distinction between friends and enemies. One reason why Marxism-Leninism was so successful for so long was that it created a mass political party based on a strict distinction between comrades and enemies This is the enduring value of Leninism to the CCP, a supranational party-society of comrades dedicated to national and international industrialization. Ideology is the "constitution" of a party dictatorship such as the CCP in China. Ideology serves as the foundation of the public life of the party-state. So to amend CCP Ideology is akin to amending the Constitution in America, it's very much a public i.e. political act, because it redefines the national friend-enemy distinction. In the last analysis, "socialism with Chinese characteristics" is equivalent to what Stalin called "socialism in one country" and what Hitler called "national socialism." Just as Deng has been interpreted as a neoliberal, one detects a certain fascism in Xi Jinping Thought which mirrors the fascism or totalism that has descended on the Western democracies.
Thank you for your nice Talking.im share Let the younger Leannig how to done by tip number if you reading book cant get more know want is better and true.Tiece Quartet .🤵🌊🔐🌊🔑🌊🗝🏇🐴🏇🐴if Dame bring out the tip second or die dame want to eat im fadter bring out Let dame know. C4, np pure weter kaki

Olivia is talking loads of rubbish. the first minute she said president Xi’thought starts 2017. president Xi when he was 17 years old and been sent to the coutryside to learn from the farmer, after that he wants to become a politician to help the people.
She said nothing of the sort. Listen again.
8:28 That is fascism, and surely it is
Nothing fascist about it .
It's about having one identity as a citizen of the 🇨🇳
Can you really take anything this person is saying without some scepticism if they do not know what is the name of the political party of record in China ?
So does the Democrats and Republicans... So does the LDP which are successors to fascists politicians/bureaucrats from WW2... Etc, etc
distorted explanation of Xi‘s thought. if you think it’s “china” centric and read Xi’s book at the same time, then i’m 100% this “China” is not today’s nation state China, but a concept or name of known-world by then(ancient era), or in today’s context it must be all mankind. you should not fool the people in this way.
………..
Chinesse american?
I would say Chinese British.
dr? lol
🤣🤣🤣 just an opinion of Xi. 🤣🤣🤣
She is speaking from her own framework of mind that was not intelligent enough to see the truth of what Xi really thinking. She needs to learn more and look at her own short coming
So please share where she gets it wrong?
@@MaryMa427China centric order is a totally wrong observation. Xi is a true multilateralism advocate.
Dr. Western propaganda robot!
Why do you say so? Easy to make a belittling comment, not easy to to think or add anything of substance to the conversation.
What a load of propaganda
Frankly, there is a lot of bs in your findings
So where is the BS? Easy to make such a negative comment with no substance or intellectual thought what so ever!
This is a ccp shill channel - my comments go missing.
Sellout
What exactly do you think that she sold out on?
@XF Zhang, What sellout? Which part of her talks proves that she is a sellout? Bring forth your evidence to substantiate your accusation, PLEASE, @XF Zhang!
Blank and empty accusation amounts to criminally punishable "defamation"! Just because you are talking in such way online, it does not exempt you from being criminally charged and possibly criminally convicted in the court of law.
She took xi out of the contxt of this damaged international community. You can not ignore countries of the West when they move on you. He is adapting and doing an excellent job of that.
Whatever may be said about hard stance, you need to consider intruders trying to break the door.
