Two points: globalisim is died. Democracy is not suitable for all nations, it's the product of imperialism. China has their own ways. Blessing you China!
Look at them, how confident, natural and relaxed they are. This is China's Confidence Doctrine: confident in our chosen path, confident in our political system, and confident in our guiding theories.
China may overtake America as the World largest economy but China definitely don't want to be the World's military power. China's 5000 years history says the expansion of a Kingdom or Empire is suicidal.
Have to appreciate the irony : 1) French man concern about Democracy. After World War 2, Having just been occupied by (collaborated with) Germany, France with its UNIVERSAL values of Libert/ Egalite /Fraternite...went back to occupy Vietnam (with support of the US ) and its other colonies and exploit them. Fortunately they suffered a great defeat in the hands of the 'Communist' Vietnamese at Dien Bien Phu. In steps Uncle Sam in another destructive war in interest of defending 'Liberal Democracy' to the misery of Vietnam. 2) Israeli man worried about rights in HK and then China and people aspiring for greater freedom when their stomachs are full quoting some ism. So maybe that's why Israel keeps Palestinians hungry and without much basic rights. 3) New York Times fellow is the most pathetic. Presumptive and Aggressive but prefers to call others such. Worried about extradition of Criminals from Taiwan to Mainland or HK (initiated by HK)? What is rendition and CIA sponsored Prison camps during War on Terror with ZERO oversight? Sadly Many Asians (see black clad hooligans in HK) prefer to read their news from Western sopurces or listen to these great Liberal Democracy preachers...wave British and American flags. What do those represent? Did the British give HK rights when they were in charge? Patten came over having lost an election and used the final years in HK to save his own political bacon. BUT did HK citizens get granted British citizenship? I remember many Western people predicting HK would collapse when China took over then. Will these HK people be welcome with open arms in Trump's USA? Maybe if they have wall building skills... You only have to look at the number of viewers for this video to realise most people prefer to see what they want to and are less open than they think. Shame.;)

I love Eric to tell those so called Western elites forcefully. Those have known the crisis in West and still refuse to leave theirlong echo chamber. Preach others shamelessly! so pitifule
Eric did beautifully answering the New York Time journalist. The journalist is a typically yanky who likes to tell the world how the things are without even the basic respect. The question could be worded differently, but he did in a way like picking a fight.
eric lee clearly held a more higher position. it is really very educative when he stated that people had not been thinking a lot about what china refused to during her rising last three decades.
Looking at some comments below makes me realize that maybe what is happening now in the US and UK is not the worst that the people about to see yet. So many sour grapes and the NYT guy was definitely outraged about China's achievement and his own country's system failure.
As a native of Hawaii I am sick and tired of America's political fighting that gets nothing done. It's tough for Americans to realize that China's leaders aim to advance and are rewarded for advancing the good of China.
How much you hear, how much this statement is true: In US America, people can choose to change political party but can't change policy. In China, people can't just change their political party but they can change policy. For History has shown.
The proportion of so-called pro-democracy group in China is dramatically decreasing recent years especially after the disgusting performance in HK enabled by Western intelligent agency. I would argue these chaos in HK, on one hand, do trapped China in a awkward scenario, but on the other hand, helped ordinary Chinese people to realise that democracy is not what they want. what Westerners are doing are not consistent with their goals to spread the riots all over China's territory. But it will never happen any more judged from my personal experience (the best timing is around 2008, there is a large proportion of people worshiping democracy, but now, it is the least minority and still decreasing ).
The " journalist" from the new york times embarrassed himself badly. Eric gave him a big back hand. Journalist should just report the facts and keep their biases to themselves and ask questions based in facts and not inuendo.
I couldn't agree more, they're all now reporting their political opinions. Like the BBC journalist fleeing China to Taiwan. He knew the political implications of what he's doing.
Seriously all this westerner talks about democracy is not interested in our well been. Clearly they conveyed a clear message i should be in power in your place. You shall be my slaved but in a beautiful sentence

Individual freedom comes with accountability and responsibility which westerners cannot comprehend. Others do not dispute your right to such virtue but it does not mean we must follow you blindly
Many westerners are harping about freedom of speech but do not realized they really don’t have one. A bad comment on yt is taken down all the time for example. The west don’t understand how the chinese view the ccp and why are platforms like FB or YT are banned. Most chinese view their ccp gov as their father or head of the family by heart due to recent successful track record. Regarding the ban of FB or YT, as I mentioned above, they can control what they want you to see which is dangerous for any country. No difference to why so many countries ban porns or etc. If a platform that can be used by the US to brainwash their people, why would any country allow it? Freedom comes with responsibility. Do you have the freedom to kill? Same thing

If ordinary people want to vote for political leaders, they need to have a political background or corresponding academic qualifications. For example, if you want to provide medical advice to patients, you also need to be a physician. Is this the same thing? Do people who don't know how to rule the country choose the leader of the country? Look at Trump!
HA. HA. HA, The best name-calling "Lady" at the back. Sure, it was the best stuff-up. Love Ronnie!!! The western proverb "Too many cooks spoil the broths" as it reflects the government's western liberal democracy election model.
The French man who presented his extremely racist proposal that as the Western countries and the US have similar shared values they can over ride the HongKong and China's authorisation, claiming that they, the foreign residents (?) are independent and not subjected the Basic Law or the One Country two systems, which are, "entirely an internal affair"! He didn't ng speak very early. Is he suggesting the white community in Hongkong are above the Chinese rule of law? Surely, he should leave the Sino- Asianeorld and move to live with the western society with whom he shares community values?. He's also arrogant as Eric responded, " No one's stopping their elections".
The audience, excluding the French speakers, is mainly rude and hostile, unlike the American Audience which had a lot of humour and empathy for The China topics!
Ronnie Chan, you are just the moderator. Please allow your guests to explore their views. We are really not interested in your view. Don't be so self-centred.
Democracy has its high threshold. The high-quality leader as highlighted by Professor Fukuyama, the late founding father of Singapore Mr Lee Kwan Yes had mentioned repeatedly, for Democracy system to shine, 2 prerequisites must comply, 1/ 60 % of its population is middle income group 2/ 60%and higher of its population is middle-class, only then will Democracy system succeed, or else we won’t see only a regressive democracy system. Case in point: America today and my home country.
Democracy is fundamentally flawed. Politicians will always try to play a group of people against another to generate votes. This will inevitably lead to a very divided society. In an authoritarian it is the shepherd who leads the ship, while in a democracy it is the other way around. How is that good?
really? just in case you don't know, democracy was the tag of USSR. and African American got their right to vote in 1960S. even today, America does not do universal election. how is that democratic? also, remember Hitler? he was elected.
@1:09 It is true that he had a Muslim Hui _background_ , but it's doubtful whether he himself was Muslim. There's evidence he made offerings to local cults at the port towns he visited, and took an interest in Buddhism later in life.
In Malaysia (similar to Kambodja) which practices "Constitutional (elective) Monarchy" Democracy], Members of Parliament are elected through National General (poll) Election once every 5 years (if not earlier) the winning (with simple majority) "party" (or coalition of parties) who will "elect/nominate" our Prime Minister subject to the APPROVAL (or endorsement) by the King (aka Agung, in our National Language, Bahasa Malaysia) to form the Government. [Likewise, at State level, (simultaneously or otherwise) State Assemblymen, and the winning (by simple majority) "party or coalition" will nominate/propose the Chief Minister for the approval/endorsement by the Sultan (Ruler) or Governor of the respective State].
America is a continent, not a country. The country you're talking about is the United States of ... please stop using America to refer to the US. They sequestered the name of a whole continent and claimed it as theirs, but it's not. #FreePR #IndependenceNow
Make America great again. Have you hear about that? It is the same in reality. Canada is nothing to USA, and can't against US other than following the order. Mexico is the same and even worse due to the race issue.
Honor cannot coexist with shame. Your opinion is funny. The US gov and the European Union have done a lot to dictate companies. So do n’t kidnap others with morality.
When Eric and the host talk about China being more globalizing. I think what they said perfectly coincide with what the upper 1% see. Yes, it is ok for foreign business to do business in China. But look at the Chinese citizen side of the story. Same goods as the other parts of the world, we have to pay more. Look at the auto price, the house price, the drug price. If this is still globalized country, I certainly don’t agree.
We in New Zealand also pay more for stuff than the US, even milk and diary products. It's the US dollar status as global reserve currency that enables cheap consumer goods prices.
@@顾成-u8i Have you considered buying used car, used ipad, used house, used everything else? Those are cheaper. A nearly dead car could be bought for a few hundred. But you want brand new for cheap, isn't that right? If the rest of the world have to make do with used items, what gives you the right to be different? If you are not happy where you are, you should consider leaving and join the poor people abroad. Living on the street in a cardboard box is very cheap. You might even get to vote. But you will not be able to vote yourself out of the cardboard box.
This is something westerns will never understand. Because westerns never know independency and sustainability of a civilization is the most important thing.
Chinese are very pragmatic people. They are pro "whatever works well". I would bet they will switch to democracy if you can show them how well liberal democracy is, how it will lift people out of poverty, build a safer society, efficient government, etc.
@@thomaslong8448 In my view, he was afraid to answer it. He has said in the past (TED) that China has term limits for presidents in order to prevent one president from seizing power for a long time. I think he was afraid to contradict himself here. Many people were unhappy that Xi became president without term limits. Of course, they are afraid to say that now, due to fear of reprisal.
probably like u said,but you know through these 40 years,china growed from tons of lies,some said democracy,some say follow US, many many words,but in the end what practice make it clear,which is what make people live better is right, so for changing,chinese are fearness,so we judge this change from result,which we will see
@@bobbarkeriii2597 I watched TED too. Eric didn't say term limit on Presidents. What he said was, "China is always reforming gradually, the effects of reforms are visible everywhere, one visible thing is that NPC members becomes much younger, due to the implementation of the term limits, it is a good thing". Eric was not talking about Presidents. He was talking about NPC.
He did answer the question. He said that terms limits have been removed but that China still has retirement customs. Now, that's a very diplomatic answer. The real answer to the question is the following: Xi Jinping is not necessarily emperor for life because his position as President of China is dependent on his ability to ensure high GDP growth (between 6-8%). As long as he is able to deliver high economic growth, he will remain president. If he is unable to deliver that at some point, he will either be asked to step down or violently deposed. Obviously someone like Eric Li, who represents China on the world stage, cannot give such a blunt answer.
@@bobbarkeriii2597 He answered the question well. This notion that Xi is "Leader for life" was a western propaganda tool for the masses. The removal of two-term limits is all that China has done ... which, is absolutely no different than what is done in Germany, Canada, Japan, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The NYT question was full of arrogance in the way the question was framed. It does not surprise me that a US media giant is reciting western propaganda ... that's why the NYT, FOX and CNN spend much time reporting "opinion" instead of "news". Who needs "facts" when "opinion" alone is sufficient!
@@leahcasey2678 Yes, Russia eliminated term limits as well. So did Belarus (see the news lately?) Gemany, etc . never had term limits. But those countries you mention have to hold general elections under the law every few years (term LIMITS vary by country). He did not answer the NYT reporter's question.
According to the Gini Index, income inequality in China is one of the worst in the world. Income inequality has been rising rapidly in China and now surpasses that of the U.S. by a large margin, say University of Michigan researchers. ... They found that the Gini coefficient for family income in China is now around 0.55 compared to 0.45 in the U.S. In 1980, China's Gini coefficient was 0.30.
The Gini coefficient is meaningless in large countries. Most people will not leave their area. In their own region, the gap between rich and poor is not obvious, so there will be no social problems. If you want to discuss the Gini coefficient, limit it to cities or small countries.
Eric Li should be drafted into the. Chinese foreign ministry... he is very competent in debates with western media and intellectuals... he can help in a big way to assist the west understand China better. He will be a soft power asset to the Chinese foreign affairs ministry.
He is only a small part of the Chinese elite, and more Chinese elites are in the Chinese government. Especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
This is also the secret of why China can maintain its rise.

does anyone have the same opnion as mine that the host has a huge head ?
Or a relatively small body..
Massive head
He got big brain, too.
Yes, he is big-hearted (arrogant).
New York times man question a reflection of american arrogance and s-t-u-p-i-d-i-t-y.
So in the end this entire video is saying China has their priorities straight... its time for the world to make a checklist
Kong is not a sovereign state." That's the point. It was a British colony leased to the UK for 99 years. It was never a democracy.
@@yananneteoh9818 It was never a democracy under the British. It is now under the one country two systems approach.
When Eric and the host talk about China being more globalizing. I think what they said perfectly coincide with what the upper 1% see. Yes, it is ok for foreign business to do business in China. But look at the Chinese citizen side of the story. Same goods as the other parts of the world, we have to pay more. Look at the auto price, the house price, the drug price. If this is still globalized country, I certainly don’t agree.

We in New Zealand also pay more for stuff than the US, even milk and diary products.
It's the US dollar status as global reserve currency that enables cheap consumer goods prices.
michael wang global reserve currency actually contains quite a few currencies in addition to usd.
Peijie Yin it is your opinion that it doesn’t have any problem. It is the same as saying someone else has a problem and I don’t care.
@@顾成-u8i Have you considered buying used car, used ipad, used house, used everything else? Those are cheaper. A nearly dead car could be bought for a few hundred. But you want brand new for cheap, isn't that right? If the rest of the world have to make do with used items, what gives you the right to be different? If you are not happy where you are, you should consider leaving and join the poor people abroad. Living on the street in a cardboard box is very cheap. You might even get to vote. But you will not be able to vote yourself out of the cardboard box.
pigs' peace
why all chinese pro china ?
Why all westerners don mind their own business?
why not?
This is something westerns will never understand. Because westerns never know independency and sustainability of a civilization is the most important thing.
Chinese are very pragmatic people. They are pro "whatever works well". I would bet they will switch to democracy if you can show them how well liberal democracy is, how it will lift people out of poverty, build a safer society, efficient government, etc.

Now I know why he stood up, he is putting me asleep. His pauses inbetween his words to lick his lips are like an eternity
Ronnie Chan, why don't you shut up & just introduce your guests? Your intro is boring and you misused the word 'globalisation'.
Ronnie Chan is one of the few in Hong Kong who actually understand politics and IR. I rather like his words in many other occasions
Why couldn't he answer the New York Times' reporter's question?
Because it is not worth answering to smearing question.
@@thomaslong8448 In my view, he was afraid to answer it. He has said in the past (TED) that China has term limits for presidents in order to prevent one president from seizing power for a long time. I think he was afraid to contradict himself here. Many people were unhappy that Xi became president without term limits. Of course, they are afraid to say that now, due to fear of reprisal.
probably like u said,but you know through these 40 years,china growed from tons of lies,some said democracy,some say follow US, many many words,but in the end what practice make it clear,which is what make people live better is right, so for changing,chinese are fearness,so we judge this change from result,which we will see
@@bobbarkeriii2597
I watched TED too. Eric didn't say term limit on Presidents.
What he said was, "China is always reforming gradually, the effects of reforms are visible everywhere, one visible thing is that NPC members becomes much younger, due to the implementation of the term limits, it is a good thing".
Eric was not talking about Presidents. He was talking about NPC.
@@htin08 Yes, presidents, I know. So what.
Once again, dude couldn't answer the New York Times reporter's question. Defensiveness mixed with agressiveness.
Eric Li such a smart guy, always very good speaker and idea
@@wendykee2037 Yes, he's a smart guy. i enjoy his talks. But he couldn't answer the question.
He did answer the question. He said that terms limits have been removed but that China still has retirement customs. Now, that's a very diplomatic answer.
The real answer to the question is the following: Xi Jinping is not necessarily emperor for life because his position as President of China is dependent on his ability to ensure high GDP growth (between 6-8%). As long as he is able to deliver high economic growth, he will remain president. If he is unable to deliver that at some point, he will either be asked to step down or violently deposed. Obviously someone like Eric Li, who represents China on the world stage, cannot give such a blunt answer.
@@bobbarkeriii2597
He answered the question well. This notion that Xi is "Leader for life" was a western propaganda tool for the masses. The removal of two-term limits is all that China has done ... which, is absolutely no different than what is done in Germany, Canada, Japan, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
The NYT question was full of arrogance in the way the question was framed. It does not surprise me that a US media giant is reciting western propaganda ... that's why the NYT, FOX and CNN spend much time reporting "opinion" instead of "news". Who needs "facts" when "opinion" alone is sufficient!
@@leahcasey2678 Yes, Russia eliminated term limits as well. So did Belarus (see the news lately?) Gemany, etc . never had term limits. But those countries you mention have to hold general elections under the law every few years (term LIMITS vary by country). He did not answer the NYT reporter's question.
According to the Gini Index, income inequality in China is one of the worst in the world. Income inequality has been rising rapidly in China and now surpasses that of the U.S. by a large margin, say University of Michigan researchers. ... They found that the Gini coefficient for family income in China is now around 0.55 compared to 0.45 in the U.S. In 1980, China's Gini coefficient was 0.30.
China's Gini Index dropped dramatically from 42 in 2002 to 38.5 in 2017, while US's Gini Index steadily rose from 40.3 to 41.4 in the meantime.
@@dianayan7656 Yes, both of those two countries (USA, China) have terrible inequality
@@dianayan7656 It will be interesting to see what it is now for each country. I prefer a range between 30 and 40.
The Gini coefficient is meaningless in large countries. Most people will not leave their area. In their own region, the gap between rich and poor is not obvious, so there will be no social problems. If you want to discuss the Gini coefficient, limit it to cities or small countries.
@@yadoliu ??? Interesting. So it is worthless then.
