Speaking as a Chinese who has lived in the US and Europe, I can tell you that is true. But it is also among the last things that the Western elites want people to know, hence all the anti-China propaganda we come across day in and day out across media platforms.
Two good books: John Fitzgerald, Cadre Country: How China became the Chinese Communist Party NewSouth, 2022. Murong Xuecun, Deadly Quiet City: Stories From Wuhan, COVID Ground Zero, Hardie Grant Books, 2022.
People of Australia should be proud of Kevin Rudd, just like the people of Singapore should be proud of Kishore M. and the people of America should be prod of Kissinger. All these people are rare gems in China experts and should be highly appreciated and valued. Thank you for all of you to make this world a better one when we learn to understand and talk peacefully with each other.God bless you all!
Well, I have to say they are not at the same depth and accuracy. Focuses are also different. I have to say Kevin's and Kissinger's view are highly colored and lack real appreciation at depth. They also carry a very high degree of prejudice. At the same time, Kevin always try to show off his language ability, in a way to cheat the western audience. However, his attempts demonstrated his incompetence in the Chinese Language instead.
@@NoohCee @NoohCee Do you speak Chinese, so that you can judge his Chinese language level? Actually, the few Chinese words he used are accurate, even his pronunciation is perfect. I am very impressed of his accent
Kissinger? The architect of Suharto's killing of some 1 - 3 million ethnic Chinese citizens in Indonesia, and several hundred thousands ethnic Chinese in Rahman's Malaysia in the 1960s. You need to brush up on Kissinger's killing spree.
US selected Tsai for Taiwan, Bolsanaro for Brazil, and Yoon for SK. that didn't workout so well Brazil and only stopped BRICS momentarily. Juan "the guide-dog" Gauido is in exile in the US, his wife escaped with stolen loot with his lawyer.
Don't know why he didn't invite former president Jimmy Carter,professor Jeffrey Sachs to the meeting. These people have my at most respect because they would all seek for peaceful to resolve out the problems.
I have no idea whether Rudd’s coming role as ambassador to the US will include an opportunity to help US policymakers and politicians understand China better, but as an American, I hope it does. He has a wisdom about China that is generally lacking in the west and in the US specifically.
Unfortunately, he can hardly change people like Ted Cruz, Mike Pompeo, Marco Rubio, Robert O'Brien. The Anti-China hatefest will only be checked by the American people.
That would be great if Mr Rudd can.However, it is against the interest of the powers that be..obvious one, the US military complex. How much money spent when those wealth could have gone to the less fortunate in the US. The covid pandemic has shown us many things about human nature..profits at the expense of public. Sadly, its all about the money.Those evil people responsible for world suffering must pay.
Kevin used to be fairly neutral and factual about China. But since working for the think tank and being paid by them, he has gone over to the dark side and sounded more or less like those already talking heads in the US. I hope what he told the American policymakers in private is different from his public pronouncements in recent years.
Kevin Rudd was Prime Minister of Australia. Now he is a,world leader asking the USA to give China a respectable place in the world. He says USA should not contain China and should help China to continue to progress and grow. ... Harris Ng YM 💜💰💜💰🇨🇳👍
@@rap3208 with that china grow? wasn't china stole all intellectual property of US and western world? And if they can grow without US why they are so angry about US new IRA law and prevent its technology export to china?
I think Kevin Rudd is one of or perhaps the best specialist on China across the world. His wisdom and his approach to the subject are awesome. I am following his lectures available online and recommend to anybody potentially interested in the subject including my teenagers at home ( they look at me puzzeled though). Many thanks and greetings from Poland!
Traditionally the Chinese system of governance has been formulated based on its history, culture and uniquely different civilization. What is wrong with offering help as long as it is not forced on other countries via regime change and war. America was the model when it was successful. Now the world sees the USA as a crumbling mess that no sane government would want to import.
See us how you want, but we're free! People are risking their lives to get into this country every day. People are risking their lives to escape the CCP where they live in an Orwellian nightmare without access to free press or speech.
Honourable Dr. Kevin Rudd, I wish you well in the new position as Australian Ambassador to the USA and hope that Australia and America will try to understand XI Jinping's policy and at least in part adopt Western Capitalism to it, for example, the industrial policy as against microeconomic/ financial policy. You a the best person to argue and convince all Western Leaders that such changes would be beneficial for Humanity to progress after recent disastrous years. Janusz K.
Would like to say, was a pity for me that I had left Australia prior to Mr Rudd becoming the Prime Minister and that he did not stay long enough as PM. Australia is a beautiful country with many good people. Mr Rudd is correct and I'm sure he will be on the right side of history.
CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Einar Tangan, Lijinjing, Martin Jacques so many excellent journalist's & wonderful documentaries. Did you know poverty allieviation completed 10 yrs ago, now Modernization & BRICS.... Cyrus Janssen-Daniel Dumbrill
That would have to be the most insightful reveal and condemnation of a country ruled by a single man! With the language barrier removed the gloves were off regardless. It was very much appreciated to hear this dissertation from such an intelligent and rational mind , the honourable Kevin Rudd. Tough trials ahead.
Tha answer Russia and Ukraine had brocken agreement the west and east had agreement not moving NATO into Eastern Europe, Please get help from Jeffrey Sachs he was there when the agreement was made between the east and west, Every time Australia goes to America and talk up war against China, Australia Loses trade , from China, Australia needs to do A survey how many people want a war against China which could turn out to be Nuclear, Please Australia do a survey how many people want to take the risk of a Nuclear war,
I'm so sick of seeing this argument. There was no NATO expansion agreement. Show Me the document this was written. Every state that hasn't joined NATO got invaded. That's why NATO exists.
Half an hour into the video I am amazed at how well informed he is about China as an native English speaker, also by how much he looks like Mr.Kenturky.
It should be noted...Chinese have studied the faults 9f the capitalist economic...which hv resulted..in nations like USA the richest nation in the history of mankind..where 50% cannot afford a USD 500 emergency expenditure..and 1 in 7 americans going to sleep hungry...where homeless..drug addicts littered the streets ...bridges falling apart from lack of maintainence...The Chinese do not want to follow the same path ! They are yes experimenting...for a better model..." Common shared weath "....mistake may be made...as zero covid turn around shows...they are responsive to public sediments and do change to correct fail policies...I wish them the best !
Mr Rudd studied all 5000 years Chinese history and recited ancient Chinese literature in Beijing since very young. He likes the most the history of "The Spring and Autumn Period" and the "Warring States Period" 8th to 3rd centuries BCE, which is full of wisdom of politic and military strategies and it was the time that Chinese philosophy blossom.
Are we really surprised that China would prioritize its relationship with Russia over its relationship with the rest of Europe even if it is economically detrimental. This is the same situation with Australia prioritizing its relationship with America over its far larger economic relationship with China.
Australia's resource can be sold to any other country. If Chinese don't buy it from you, they will from others. And thos other's client will have to look for other sources. If Europe does not buy oil from Russia, others will as long as there is no sanction. Other than few minor exports, Australia loses nothing if it preferred US over China. Even these impact will be temporary. Let India, Indonesia and Vietnam develop more, in a decades time, you will have new buyers.
@@AKThakur76 for sure india will not buy many cow meat from australia, and indonesia will not buy many wine from australia because indonesian mostly muslim , wine is not halal. Not mention india and indonesia 20 years behind development of china . When can both india and indonesia replace customer like china for consuming australia main product.
Mr. Rudd is an exceptional diplomat, who devoted time to master the Chinese language and culture, even its economy & politics. Australia has impressed me as updated edition of Britain, when it achieved fine educational, economical and political systems. Chinese language is a superior language in its form efficiency, and function, richly embodies culture, as well as an art, with brush pen caligraphy. It is no accident when it developed economically doubling its middle class in 35 years, managed by the CCP. The CCP maintains historic rigorous meritocracy system that produced capable leaders and officials. No doubt, it will reemerge as the dominant country peacefully in the next 35 years.
The speaker belongs to one of the few western intellectuals, who has an excellent knowledge of China both past and present, not only about the history of the country but also about the vision of the short and long term economic outlook and think tank of the PRC's leaders of different generations. Moreover, KR is fluent in Chinese language. From that position he explains how the PRC's leaders starting from Deng Xiaoping have developed China internally in the past 30 years, and will develop it in the coming period as well. Population plays always a central place. Externally China is characterized as a reliable partner in relation to other countries. The vijf principle of peaceful co-existence, first mentioned in the text of treaty between India and PRC on Tibet that has been signed on April 29, 1954. At the Asian African Bandung conference in 1954 the inscription became the well know basis of the relations between two countries.
It occurs to me Kevin Rudd's opinion reflects a kind of existential crisis among some of the leaders from the west. It seems as the 'Chinese modernization way vs Westernization' competition rages on, there is this widely spread fear among developed countries leaders that their preaching to the world of 'western democracy and capitalism equals to wealth and security' is under threat. And why does this bother these leaders so much? Probably because if more developing countries find China's way of modernization more attractive and eventually turn their head away from western democracy, then that means the US and its allies can't interfere with and make profit from these countries development with its economy and military weapons anymore. And as a result the US global hegemony is bound to fail.
Well"'western democracy and capitalism equals to wealth and security" is a lie designed for the colonies to begin with. If in the 21th century thrid world people still don't understand that, I don't know what to say.
Taiwan's constitution says both taiwan and mainland belong to China. Chapter I General Provisions Article 1 This Act is specially enacted for the purposes of ensuring the security and public welfare in the Taiwan Area, regulating dealings between the peoples of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area, and handling legal matters arising therefrom before national unification. With regard to matters not provided for in this Act, the provisions of other relevant laws and regulations shall apply. Article 2 The following terms as used in this Act are defined below.1. "Taiwan Area" refers to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and any other area under the effective control of the Government.2. "Mainland Area" refers to the territory of the Republic of China outside the Taiwan Area.3. "People of the Taiwan Area" refers to the people who have household registrations in the Taiwan Area.4. "People of the Mainland Area" refers to the people who have household registrations in the Mainland Area.
The rethoric of war from some American people (generals and others) and the recent escalation in restrictions do give a less positive view. Asking for an additional 27B $ on the, one can say, already ample miltary budget is not giving the impression of people wanting to solve the problem in an intelligent way.
A majority of the so-called Chinese experts have ignored the fact that modern China's industralisation had started as early as 1949. They attribute the economic growth solely to Deng's "open and reform" policies, conveniently ignoring the massive industralisation efforts before 1980s and the re-establishment of China-US diplomatic relation in 1972. Well, they might do Chinese a favour: feel free to talk about China while Chinese will just crack on to change the global establishment. 🙃
They don't ignore it, it's just that it was futile. This is evidenced by the total output of the economy. The period 1949 - 1975 basically sent China backward
Before 1980 China’s still have its big Great Wall policy and mainly introverted. It was only after Deng visited Singapore in 1978 that he realizes that opening up and connecting with the world to move forward and abreast will speed up China’s improvement and modernization Programme and help it to develop its economy, technology etc.
@@leewn2319 You should do more research in Chinese industrialisation history. I would recommend you to start with the so-called "43 Project/Initiative" started in 1973 aiming to import entire production lines from the US, West Germany, France, and Italy. China had being seeking every opportunity to establish some sort of relationship with the western world since 1949. It was the western world who closed the door.
Kevin Rudd has shared his thoughts (as president of Asia Society, NY) on _actually existing_ “socialism with Chinese characteristics”. He is now Australian ambassador to US, unfortunately he won’t be (publicly) sharing his thoughts on _actually existing_ “democratic capitalism” with US characteristics.
Rudd and Kishore are the two best politicians nowadays. The interpreter is giving a miss conception of Ukraine-Russian war, by not mentioning the eastward expansion of NATO. A good politician's responsibility is to bring equality, stability, growth in a nation and region.
He speaks Chinese so well, and has a strong grasp of history, yet his conclusions are always through the Western lens only, without ever a sense that he understands China from within. A scientist clinically observing an alien country. I guess it only proves that learning a language doesn't inherently give understanding of a culture.
@@Blinky.Catttt Agreed, no matter what his opinion and he is not going understand of China as the Chinese China, who live and breathe everything in China but it's no doubt very interesting to understand his view.
Two good books: John Fitzgerald, Cadre Country: How China became the Chinese Communist Party NewSouth, 2022. Murong Xuecun, Deadly Quiet City: Stories From Wuhan, COVID Ground Zero, Hardie Grant Books, 2022. As someone who lived in China before, these two books are a good starter.
@@Blinky.Catttt Yes, I have made that observation too, but, in his defense he is a self-made man and he is not hesitant to remind us of that, in addition to his strong faith stance.
From American and Australians' perspective the fundamental question is whether Australia will be sided with China on the security alliance. For Australia there might be no neutral choice from Americans' eyes.
How does Rudd utter Chinese words without a racist backlash? When former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman ran for President in 2012, he started with about 3% support. When he showed off his Mandarin at a Republican debate, Ameircans freaked out and his support dropped to zero.
Rudd is an academic scholar who majored in Chinese and after graduation stayed on another year studying classical Chinese, then had a long diplomatic career including postings in Beijing. Huntsman is from a wealthy (chemicals) family and learned Mandarin as a Mormon missionary in Taiwan, I think. I had a philosophy professor from Princeton my freshman year who would pause and quote phrases or think out loud in German, which totally freaked me out as I did not understand and found it profoundly alienating as I was immature and the German was unexpected. I speak Mandarin but resigned to never speak Chinese in front of a class of college students because of my experience with German. Rudd speaks Mandarin as a form of evidence, a direct quote, offering proof of what he is saying in English, which is sort of credibility enhancing and not threatening.
I feel that Rudd tends to overplay his knowledge of Chinese. He understands the surface meanings but often miss the subtleties. Deng's 'shy away from the limelight and bide your time' is meant for a period when growth was yet like a young sapling. It is doubtful whether he would have acted any differently to Xi in the current environment. Remember that even during Deng's Southern Tour to reinvigorate reform he emphasized three principles, one of which is that China must stick to Socialism. Disequilibrium growth was a necessity when China could not generate enough capital of its own. Subsequent development and particularly the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 have turned many Chinese elites against the American model, long before Xi's tenure.
Rudd is a professional diplomat, the main part of his job is extensive explanations of policies and contingent scenarios. Deng was a brilliant survivor with pragmatic concepts after the tragic Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and Deng would never criticize Communism, just do an end run around by promoting competition and markets. Under Xi, the PRC has destroyed capital by attacking: tech-retail sector, real estate sector, making local governments fund the Dynamic Zero Covid 19 including the lock downs featuring the Big White brigades, eliminating tutoring, eliminating foreign businesses in China, and, most recently, restructuring the financial sector so the government has more control of information. Now, China has a lot of debt at the city, province, and national level. Rather than getting out of the way and letting businesses improve performance, Xi is investing in the State Owned Enterprises, which will have lower productivity and efficiency. Xi is also trying to promote technological development within a closed Chinese system, which probably is a bad idea, as the input of ideas is limited as are the economic returns - there are few incentives. The PRC would do well to build a stronger social safety net for health and retirement so citizens are not scared to start a small business as Chinese are great merchants. The legal system should be modified to protect the interests of the people, not the party.
@@UUBrahman Deng was very clear he understood the nature of disequilibrium growth - let some people get rich first. So some redressing was always in the plans. In light of the GFC and the collapse of FTX, it would seem the corrective actions by the Chinese were very much on point. There is still a lot to do, but the achievements of the anti-poverty drive and the introduction of universal healthcare system under Xi's tenure have been widely lauded. The complaint about the CCP is a bit misplaced. The CCP is written in the constitution as the ruling party. Jeffrey Sachs put it well, China is a traditional benign Confucian system which is judged by the competence of its governance for the whole people. It is a civilization state, if Western commentators can understand that.
@@paulkong5066 Rudd is well aware of the civilisation-state concept, but that is just an opinion not fact. Separately, the reason Deng's statement has weight in the way Rudd is using it is the practical actions taken by the CCP. The actions in South China Sea and military excursions into India have shattered the idea of peaceful rise
@@happyhappynuts , Isn't the issue with India an issue of BOTH SIDES could not agree on the boundary line? It is a dispute since China held that the line was drawn by the British who was the colonial master then. So why can't the current LAC be accepted as the boundary? Does India think that since US and the West are against China, leaning on them can help them to resolve the issue? Of course, China cannot stop you from that dream!
As a Taiwanese, I would like to point out that democracy, rules of laws, freedom, and free market economy system have worked successfully in three Eastern Asia nations, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
Yes and no, all three rose the economic rank when they were a centrally controlled economy and careful planning with smart governance. The later transition took place and it’s not the cause of any economic growth. The foundation has been laid long time ago. As a matter of fact, to see the Taiwanese politics in action is a painful experience. Divide and crest hate seems to be the rule of the day in Taiwan.
@@ranx9078 The Economist EIU has ranked Taiwan a full democracy, the most democratic country in Asia. I know that your country, China, is ranked bottom in terms of the Democracy Index by the Economist think tank.
@@mingkao1 China certainly isn’t my country. But Taiwan democracy makes US politicians look nice. We have seen the ugliness and stoke of fear and hatred. it’s ok to admit there is room for improvement vs bragging about rank from a paid organization. Taiwanese politics at its core is built On incompetent governance.
The Asia Society is a nonprofit founded by the Rockefeller family in the 1950s to increase American understanding of Asia. After WWII, Americans were angry with Japan, so this was an effort at a countervailing force. Same family also founded the Peking Medical Union, I think it was called, a long time ago, like 1920s or earlier.
Career wise, Dr. Rudd has been Prime Minister of Australia twice and Foreign Minister once, I think. In early March 2023 he has two "President" titles at the Asia Society and at the Asia Society Policy Institute. In late March 2023, he will be appointed Australian Ambassador to the United States, a puzzling career move. So, if you know the reason, please tell me. Thanks.
He may know the Chinese language. But that doesn't make him a Chinese expert. And yet to be professed to be one is really a very sorry state of affairs
I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures. Each Chinese character pronounces one syllable, and each character has meanings. Chinese primary school pupils can easily learn 3000 characters, which cover 99 percent of Chinese characters in newspapers and books. Chinese is 30% faster than English in conveying information.
This is an excellently well nuanced narration which would be so additive to fostering better relationship with China, if it can be understood that China is near totally immersed with finding the right path to encounter its domestic challenges. Outsiders have their own projections on how the Chinese domestic initiatives impact upon outsiders and they don’t necessarily like them. In doing so they are jumping the gun, because outsiders have no idea how those initiative will actually impact on the Chinese. It is the outcome from the Chinese people that is relevant to the manner in which outsiders have to contend with. If Kevin Rudd had lived amongst the Chinese, he would have been better equipped to complement his academic nuances to possess a more comprehensive ability to more accurately anticipate Chinese reaction. All concepts without its emotive content is fraught with miscomprehension. That is why you’ve to have an appreciation of its culture to be able to understand its language. Otherwise, you expose only the mechanical content.
Well said but I am inclined to believe based on your advice is that China is really beyond criticism? I appreciate the conundrum, the complexities and logistical issues caring for 1.4 billion but the time frame in which you require for outsiders to invest in China before having an informed and valid appraisal of China makes it a rather moot point. This in essence makes China above criticism based on your belief it's so much more complex than any other country? Is that fair to assume this?
@@davidpicard5376 Criticism make sense only when it is an informed one. The fact is many people pass on their judgement on China based watching two minutes of CNN or ABC. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but whether it is wise to be judgemental on something that he/she knows very little about is a very different question.
@@Skywalker1826 Fair point indeed but I have been giving this much more consideration than watching CNN or similar. This is an incredibly complex and delicate calamity that our world is currently reeling in beyond Just geopolitical issues. We're feeling the wrath of climate change, major weather events exacerbating an already crumbling global economy. I'm doubtful that China despite it's resources has any greater capacity to put us on a favourable path anymore than any other country. More than anything else we need rational people who are less inclined to make remarks such as "Anyone who dares to try that will have their heads bashed bloody against the Great Wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese " ! That does not reduce xenophobia or help relations by any stretch of the imagination.
As a Taiwanese, I would say that democracy, rules of law, freedom, and free market economy system have worked successfully in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
Japan is a eunuch nation. After ww2 and the plaza accord, the USA has effectively castrated Japan of its sovereignty. It will never be able to go against the USA. South Korea is in vulnerable position due to North Korea ability to produce nuclear weapons and actually has the gut or craziness to use it. Taiwan issue is not simple. The accepted norm is that there is one China which include Taiwan. Which China is legitimate ruler ? The answers have been quite obvious for a number of years.
Money and army are high impacted by USA, East Asian ppl shall wake up, USA and UK using divide and conquer, China is promoting unit and development, hope one day East Asian shall unite like EU, anyway was asian we actually have a lot in common!
@@pahatpahat9566 It has been more than 7 decades that the CCP is not able to invade Taiwan, a vibrant, prosperous, and democratic nation. Taiwan is a "little" nation that produces more than 60% of advanced semiconductor chips world wide.
Developing nations with large population will never succeed if they apply the Western style of political ism, if they want quick economic progress. Hence, BRICS should attract all such nations towards this end.
I sensed a tinge of smugness and arrogance every time I hear his speech on China. He seemed to always analyse China with his Western myopic lens and Western "High" morals...
Typical Anglo-American view point when China was still internal contradiction was was a tussle between public and private enterprises a poverty ridden state, the Deng period magically became rich and by Xi Jinping era was a tussle between public and private enterprises (no mention of the reform in the socio-economic sphere, let alone the war waged against the collective west). There is no mention of the effect of BRICS and its effect on de-dollarization and the global support it has earned. All in all Rudd's narrow minded take on China shows who will survive and win the China-US competition. Rudd didn't dare claim US will win.
China's progress owes not so much to Marx, and others; but to Hegel, an this philosophy... ...which enables a massive country to recap- recapitulation- and change direction, depending on the circumstances...

As intelligent as he is in geopolitics i cant believe how ignorant kevin rudd is about warsaw pact and minsk agreement! By the way, as far as i know the russians are fighting against nazism in ukraine!
Kevin, ur analysis is over kill. China under cpc during 1949-1978 did not understand how to run economy. Most of leaders came from dirt poor background. They robbed off assets and Capitals from the rich and entrepreneurs and distribute to the poors as those dirt poor revolutionists would do. To overturn a power is easier than to govern as in Chinese idiom. cpc did not want to see the the poor continued to suffer . Deng was an oversea student to France, he saw capitalism in France. Remember, at that time China had been in perpetual decline about 150 years. In addition to the encouragement of older Lee of Singapore, he started a few smaller scale experiments in China, finally unleashed the entrepreneurism of the Chinese people. It is also good that planned economy helped efficiency of the growth. Some would argue it was largely inefficient approaches. But to Chinese people they have patience. Time (history) to them is of lesser concern compared to in the capitalism. These nation state capitalists could not understand. These are so simple not complicated to chinese. What we need to do is to study what China gets right to pull the thousands year civilization state out of poverty in 40 years. It is extraordinary and what are the advantage of planned economy. Set aside of ideology about cpc. In fact some of the contents of cpc are for the balance of a society as in Europe. Cpc has deep grass roots' supports by that way. We need a degree of protecting the poor (how to do it is a question). Kevin, you have to keep the best interest of Australia in mind. I am worried that most people in us environment would have tendency to be in agreement with us' foreign policy. Myself is not indifferent until the containment policy. Simply in common sense, it would not work, if you do not use military force to help you. All you can do is to improve yourself. In fact, independent voice in us toward China is rare these days. Even if you have been the chairman of Asia society in new york, that would not equivale to an independent thinking towards China. Australia needs Paul Keating type of independent thinker and leader to contour Australia in the trouble water. China/cpc progress is remarkable in positive note. It benefited to the country and to its people. Who cares what the name of the party. To us, the ordinary civilian in the society, Us decline is obvious. If the polis in us continues this trend, they will distract and destroy the supremacy once they wanted to maintain. But Australia should not be the victim in between the big powers' struggles.
Trying to separate “relations of production” and “factors of production” is illusional. It ignores incentives and blissfully hope people just work hard even if they are not rewarded for their efforts. 大锅饭 didn’t work and won’t work .

Kevin Rudd only understands the surface of China and politics and is overly obsessed with his dialectics and theories Most people who come on here prefer to listen to a limited white man who admittedly has made great pains to understand the Chinese language. What they should really be listening to is from Chinese people directly. Chinese are (since Deng) pragmatic and that extends to the CPC. They are not bogged down by Western obsession with ideology. The West continues to listen to its own voice and continues to make completely farcical predictions on China and its collapse. This is called wishful thinking which people like The Economist and Gordon Chang engage in perennially for over 3 decades since TianAnMen incident. Instead China continues to defy the West and grow. Even after the recent doom and gloom west media reports on China's economy, it is growing at over 5% with the biggest influx of FDI INTO China. Contrast the US with bank collapses and a turgid 1.2% growth + inflation. Yet many in the West continue to drum beat that China will fail bc of its political system. China has zero interest in exporting political systems unlike the West which has a long and dark track record proselytizing as in step with its Abrahamic tradition. China doesn't care. You are free to adopt whatever you think works best for your country. This is where listening to Rudd and ridiculous so called experts on say "Asia Society" (all white) does no one benefit in understanding China. West prefers to wank off to its own coloured lens on China rather than truly understand how the place works. If someone like say Eric X Li explains to them why it works so effectively, they will invent some sort of ideological base excuse to preserve their own untouchable sacred cow 'freedumb and democrazy' We only have to ask what 2 decades plus of Freedom and so called Democracy brought to Afghanistan or Iraq or for that matter the Middle East. Contrast China is one swift move has resolved the Middle East main conflict between Saudis and Iran. The rest of the world understand what China can bring leaving their own baggage of history and ideology to the side in favour of practical solutions. Pity the West prey to their group think created by their equally self serving media😁
Kevin’s delivery is consistently boring as usual, despite the contents. My gut feeling is that Kevin might get two points wrong. (1) Kevin always analyzes the ideology in the Marxism /Leninism/socialism framework. Although the Party donned the Socialism coat, the inner identity is simply a continuation of the elites that existed in the past two thousand years, and the governance is simply a continuation of the political practice that was conducted in the past two thousand years. (2) on the alternative model for other developing countries, I suspect it’s a tactic narrative. Not a single sensible mind in china believes it would work for others. These two possible flaws might have serious consequences if the analysis is extrapolated to guide policy making.

China sounds like a wonderful country to live. Maybe we should learn more from them.
Speaking as a Chinese who has lived in the US and Europe, I can tell you that is true. But it is also among the last things that the Western elites want people to know, hence all the anti-China propaganda we come across day in and day out across media platforms.
If Chinese were regarded as white, our opinions of China wouldn't be so warped.
If you live there, you would know truth.

People of Australia should be proud of Kevin Rudd, just like the people of Singapore should be proud of Kishore M. and the people of America should be prod of Kissinger. All these people are rare gems in China experts and should be highly appreciated and valued. Thank you for all of you to make this world a better one when we learn to understand and talk peacefully with each other.God bless you all!
Well, I have to say they are not at the same depth and accuracy. Focuses are also different. I have to say Kevin's and Kissinger's view are highly colored and lack real appreciation at depth. They also carry a very high degree of prejudice.
At the same time, Kevin always try to show off his language ability, in a way to cheat the western audience. However, his attempts demonstrated his incompetence in the Chinese Language instead.
@@NoohCee @NoohCee Do you speak Chinese, so that you can judge his Chinese language level? Actually, the few Chinese words he used are accurate, even his pronunciation is perfect. I am very impressed of his accent
Rudd is a traitor and a disgrace to all freedom loving people around the world.

Fascinating speech and analysis. Thanks Kevin Rudd!
I have no idea whether Rudd’s coming role as ambassador to the US will include an opportunity to help US policymakers and politicians understand China better, but as an American, I hope it does. He has a wisdom about China that is generally lacking in the west and in the US specifically.
Unfortunately, he can hardly change people like Ted Cruz, Mike Pompeo, Marco Rubio, Robert O'Brien. The Anti-China hatefest will only be checked by the American people.
America lacks knowledge of other countries too. Worrying
That would be great if Mr Rudd can.However, it is against the interest of the powers that be..obvious one, the US military complex. How much money spent when those wealth could have gone to the less fortunate in the US. The covid pandemic has shown us many things about human nature..profits at the expense of public. Sadly, its all about the money.Those evil people responsible for world suffering must pay.
@@CKxperience The rest of the world is trash. Only white people countries are my friends.
Kevin used to be fairly neutral and factual about China. But since working for the think tank and being paid by them, he has gone over to the dark side and sounded more or less like those already talking heads in the US. I hope what he told the American policymakers in private is different from his public pronouncements in recent years.

Traditionally the Chinese system of governance has been formulated based on its history, culture and uniquely different civilization. What is wrong with offering help as long as it is not forced on other countries via regime change and war. America was the model when it was successful. Now the world sees the USA as a crumbling mess that no sane government would want to import.
See us how you want, but we're free! People are risking their lives to get into this country every day. People are risking their lives to escape the CCP where they live in an Orwellian nightmare without access to free press or speech.

Would like to say, was a pity for me that I had left Australia prior to Mr Rudd becoming the Prime Minister and that he did not stay long enough as PM. Australia is a beautiful country with many good people. Mr Rudd is correct and I'm sure he will be on the right side of history.
He was knifed by our first Female PM. He had to take over again when they were headed for electoral loss, and lost anyway.

Brilliant..👍👍👏👏
Mr Rudd studied all 5000 years Chinese history and recited ancient Chinese literature in Beijing since very young. He likes the most the history of "The Spring and Autumn Period" and the "Warring States Period" 8th to 3rd centuries BCE, which is full of wisdom of politic and military strategies and it was the time that Chinese philosophy blossom.
Are we really surprised that China would prioritize its relationship with Russia over its relationship with the rest of Europe even if it is economically detrimental. This is the same situation with Australia prioritizing its relationship with America over its far larger economic relationship with China.
well said
Australia's resource can be sold to any other country. If Chinese don't buy it from you, they will from others. And thos other's client will have to look for other sources. If Europe does not buy oil from Russia, others will as long as there is no sanction. Other than few minor exports, Australia loses nothing if it preferred US over China.
Even these impact will be temporary. Let India, Indonesia and Vietnam develop more, in a decades time, you will have new buyers.

@@AKThakur76 My good friend Geography!
It’s worth keeping in mind the big picture. The US wants to ultimately destroy Russia so it can isolate and subdue China.
Mr. Rudd is an exceptional diplomat, who devoted time to master the Chinese language and culture, even its economy & politics. Australia has impressed me as updated edition of Britain, when it achieved fine educational, economical and political systems. Chinese language is a superior language in its form efficiency, and function, richly embodies culture, as well as an art, with brush pen caligraphy. It is no accident when it developed economically doubling its middle class in 35 years, managed by the CCP. The CCP maintains historic rigorous meritocracy system that produced capable leaders and officials. No doubt, it will reemerge as the dominant country peacefully in the next 35 years.
Rudd is certainly a step up from the current leaders. But to paint him as a genius , is to ignore his many flaws
The speaker belongs to one of the few western intellectuals, who has an excellent knowledge of China both past and present, not only about the history of the country but also about the vision of the short and long term economic outlook and think tank of the PRC's leaders of different generations. Moreover, KR is fluent in Chinese language. From that position he explains how the PRC's leaders starting from Deng Xiaoping have developed China internally in the past 30 years, and will develop it in the coming period as well. Population plays always a central place. Externally China is characterized as a reliable partner in relation to other countries. The vijf principle of peaceful co-existence, first mentioned in the text of treaty between India and PRC on Tibet that has been signed on April 29, 1954. At the Asian African Bandung conference in 1954 the inscription became the well know basis of the relations between two countries.
It occurs to me Kevin Rudd's opinion reflects a kind of existential crisis among some of the leaders from the west. It seems as the 'Chinese modernization way vs Westernization' competition rages on, there is this widely spread fear among developed countries leaders that their preaching to the world of 'western democracy and capitalism equals to wealth and security' is under threat.
And why does this bother these leaders so much? Probably because if more developing countries find China's way of modernization more attractive and eventually turn their head away from western democracy, then that means the US and its allies can't interfere with and make profit from these countries development with its economy and military weapons anymore. And as a result the US global hegemony is bound to fail.
Well"'western democracy and capitalism equals to wealth and security" is a lie designed for the colonies to begin with. If in the 21th century thrid world people still don't understand that, I don't know what to say.

The rethoric of war from some American people (generals and others) and the recent escalation in restrictions do give a less positive view. Asking for an additional 27B $ on the, one can say, already ample miltary budget is not giving the impression of people wanting to solve the problem in an intelligent way.
The chinese side is driving the war rhetoric to a greater degree
A majority of the so-called Chinese experts have ignored the fact that modern China's industralisation had started as early as 1949. They attribute the economic growth solely to Deng's "open and reform" policies, conveniently ignoring the massive industralisation efforts before 1980s and the re-establishment of China-US diplomatic relation in 1972.
Well, they might do Chinese a favour: feel free to talk about China while Chinese will just crack on to change the global establishment. 🙃
They don't ignore it, it's just that it was futile. This is evidenced by the total output of the economy.
The period 1949 - 1975 basically sent China backward
@@happyhappynuts ja, it was not "ignored" but merely ignorant. :)
Before 1980 China’s still have its big Great Wall policy and mainly introverted. It was only after Deng visited Singapore in 1978 that he realizes that opening up and connecting with the world to move forward and abreast will speed up China’s improvement and modernization Programme and help it to develop its economy, technology etc.
@@leewn2319 You should do more research in Chinese industrialisation history. I would recommend you to start with the so-called "43 Project/Initiative" started in 1973 aiming to import entire production lines from the US, West Germany, France, and Italy.
China had being seeking every opportunity to establish some sort of relationship with the western world since 1949. It was the western world who closed the door.
China’s industrialization started in the late 19th century. Communist China does not deserve all credits.
Kevin Rudd has shared his thoughts (as president of Asia Society, NY) on _actually existing_ “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.
He is now Australian ambassador to US, unfortunately he won’t be (publicly) sharing his thoughts on _actually existing_ “democratic capitalism” with US characteristics.
Rudd and Kishore are the two best politicians nowadays. The interpreter is giving a miss conception of Ukraine-Russian war, by not mentioning the eastward expansion of NATO. A good politician's responsibility is to bring equality, stability, growth in a nation and region.
Well analyzed 👍🏼
He killed People in Australia with his Chinese Insulation Scheme !!!!
This is a typical western view or opinion, it's never taken into account of its culture, politics and its history.
Hes a poser
He speaks Chinese so well, and has a strong grasp of history, yet his conclusions are always through the Western lens only, without ever a sense that he understands China from within. A scientist clinically observing an alien country. I guess it only proves that learning a language doesn't inherently give understanding of a culture.
@@Blinky.Catttt Agreed, no matter what his opinion and he is not going understand of China as the Chinese China, who live and breathe everything in China but it's no doubt very interesting to understand his view.

Murong Xuecun, Deadly Quiet City: Stories From Wuhan, COVID Ground Zero, Hardie Grant Books, 2022.
As someone who lived in China before, these two books are a good starter.
@@Blinky.Catttt Yes, I have made that observation too, but, in his defense he is a self-made man and he is not hesitant to remind us of that, in addition to his strong faith stance.
From American and Australians' perspective the fundamental question is whether Australia will be sided with China on the security alliance. For Australia there might be no neutral choice from Americans' eyes.
How does Rudd utter Chinese words without a racist backlash? When former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman ran for President in 2012, he started with about 3% support. When he showed off his Mandarin at a Republican debate, Ameircans freaked out and his support dropped to zero.
Just shows how ridiculous the leaders are elected in the US.
That’s because most American are MSM brainwashed and ignorant.
Many countries around the world have started Chinese language classes, before long Chinese, a superior language, will become a dominant language.
Rudd is an academic scholar who majored in Chinese and after graduation stayed on another year studying classical Chinese, then had a long diplomatic career including postings in Beijing. Huntsman is from a wealthy (chemicals) family and learned Mandarin as a Mormon missionary in Taiwan, I think. I had a philosophy professor from Princeton my freshman year who would pause and quote phrases or think out loud in German, which totally freaked me out as I did not understand and found it profoundly alienating as I was immature and the German was unexpected. I speak Mandarin but resigned to never speak Chinese in front of a class of college students because of my experience with German. Rudd speaks Mandarin as a form of evidence, a direct quote, offering proof of what he is saying in English, which is sort of credibility enhancing and not threatening.
@@stephenyang2844 it's not a superior nor inferior language. 未必忒骄傲
MR RUDD speaks perfect Chinese
I feel that Rudd tends to overplay his knowledge of Chinese. He understands the surface meanings but often miss the subtleties. Deng's 'shy away from the limelight and bide your time' is meant for a period when growth was yet like a young sapling. It is doubtful whether he would have acted any differently to Xi in the current environment. Remember that even during Deng's Southern Tour to reinvigorate reform he emphasized three principles, one of which is that China must stick to Socialism. Disequilibrium growth was a necessity when China could not generate enough capital of its own. Subsequent development and particularly the Global Financial Crisis in 2008 have turned many Chinese elites against the American model, long before Xi's tenure.
Rudd is a professional diplomat, the main part of his job is extensive explanations of policies and contingent scenarios. Deng was a brilliant survivor with pragmatic concepts after the tragic Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, and Deng would never criticize Communism, just do an end run around by promoting competition and markets. Under Xi, the PRC has destroyed capital by attacking: tech-retail sector, real estate sector, making local governments fund the Dynamic Zero Covid 19 including the lock downs featuring the Big White brigades, eliminating tutoring, eliminating foreign businesses in China, and, most recently, restructuring the financial sector so the government has more control of information. Now, China has a lot of debt at the city, province, and national level. Rather than getting out of the way and letting businesses improve performance, Xi is investing in the State Owned Enterprises, which will have lower productivity and efficiency. Xi is also trying to promote technological development within a closed Chinese system, which probably is a bad idea, as the input of ideas is limited as are the economic returns - there are few incentives. The PRC would do well to build a stronger social safety net for health and retirement so citizens are not scared to start a small business as Chinese are great merchants. The legal system should be modified to protect the interests of the people, not the party.
@@UUBrahman Deng was very clear he understood the nature of disequilibrium growth - let some people get rich first. So some redressing was always in the plans. In light of the GFC and the collapse of FTX, it would seem the corrective actions by the Chinese were very much on point. There is still a lot to do, but the achievements of the anti-poverty drive and the introduction of universal healthcare system under Xi's tenure have been widely lauded. The complaint about the CCP is a bit misplaced. The CCP is written in the constitution as the ruling party. Jeffrey Sachs put it well, China is a traditional benign Confucian system which is judged by the competence of its governance for the whole people. It is a civilization state, if Western commentators can understand that.
@@paulkong5066 Rudd is well aware of the civilisation-state concept, but that is just an opinion not fact. Separately, the reason Deng's statement has weight in the way Rudd is using it is the practical actions taken by the CCP. The actions in South China Sea and military excursions into India have shattered the idea of peaceful rise
I've been aware as far back as post 9/11 that many Chinese diaspora have a disdain towards America despite not having lived there.
@@happyhappynuts , Isn't the issue with India an issue of BOTH SIDES could not agree on the boundary line? It is a dispute since China held that the line was drawn by the British who was the colonial master then. So why can't the current LAC be accepted as the boundary? Does India think that since US and the West are against China, leaning on them can help them to resolve the issue? Of course, China cannot stop you from that dream!
As a Taiwanese, I would like to point out that democracy, rules of laws, freedom, and free market economy system have worked successfully in three Eastern Asia nations, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
Yes and no, all three rose the economic rank when they were a centrally controlled economy and careful planning with smart governance. The later transition took place and it’s not the cause of any economic growth. The foundation has been laid long time ago. As a matter of fact, to see the Taiwanese politics in action is a painful experience. Divide and crest hate seems to be the rule of the day in Taiwan.

Career wise, Dr. Rudd has been Prime Minister of Australia twice and Foreign Minister once, I think. In early March 2023 he has two "President" titles at the Asia Society and at the Asia Society Policy Institute. In late March 2023, he will be appointed Australian Ambassador to the United States, a puzzling career move. So, if you know the reason, please tell me. Thanks.
Ambassador to USA roughly swaps between Labor and Liberal party luminaries.
His appointment endorses him as an influential person
Hes a little too Anti China for my liking recently.
He may know the Chinese language. But that doesn't make him a Chinese expert. And yet to be professed to be one is really a very sorry state of affairs
I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures.
Each Chinese character pronounces one syllable, and each character has meanings.
Chinese primary school pupils can easily learn 3000 characters, which cover 99 percent of Chinese characters in newspapers and books.
Chinese is 30% faster than English in conveying information.
Clearly Kevin Rudd is a clever guy, clever guy learns Chinese, goes to China and see China himself in person then give the comment
This is an excellently well nuanced narration which would be so additive to fostering better relationship with China, if it can be understood that China is near totally immersed with finding the right path to encounter its domestic challenges. Outsiders have their own projections on how the Chinese domestic initiatives impact upon outsiders and they don’t necessarily like them. In doing so they are jumping the gun, because outsiders have no idea how those initiative will actually impact on the Chinese. It is the outcome from the Chinese people that is relevant to the manner in which outsiders have to contend with. If Kevin Rudd had lived amongst the Chinese, he would have been better equipped to complement his academic nuances to possess a more comprehensive ability to more accurately anticipate Chinese reaction. All concepts without its emotive content is fraught with miscomprehension. That is why you’ve to have an appreciation of its culture to be able to understand its language. Otherwise, you expose only the mechanical content.
Well said but I am inclined to believe based on your advice is that China is really beyond criticism? I appreciate the conundrum, the complexities and logistical issues caring for 1.4 billion but the time frame in which you require for outsiders to invest in China before having an informed and valid appraisal of China makes it a rather moot point. This in essence makes China above criticism based on your belief it's so much more complex than any other country? Is that fair to assume this?
@@davidpicard5376 Criticism make sense only when it is an informed one. The fact is many people pass on their judgement on China based watching two minutes of CNN or ABC. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but whether it is wise to be judgemental on something that he/she knows very little about is a very different question.
@@Skywalker1826 Fair point indeed but I have been giving this much more consideration than watching CNN or similar. This is an incredibly complex and delicate calamity that our world is currently reeling in beyond Just geopolitical issues. We're feeling the wrath of climate change, major weather events exacerbating an already crumbling global economy. I'm doubtful that China despite it's resources has any greater capacity to put us on a favourable path anymore than any other country. More than anything else we need rational people who are less inclined to make remarks such as "Anyone who dares to try that will have their heads bashed bloody against the Great Wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese " !
That does not reduce xenophobia or help relations by any stretch of the imagination.

As a Taiwanese, I would say that democracy, rules of law, freedom, and free market economy system have worked successfully in Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan.
All 3 are puppet countries of US, who also control their money
Japan is a eunuch nation. After ww2 and the plaza accord, the USA has effectively castrated Japan of its sovereignty. It will never be able to go against the USA.
South Korea is in vulnerable position due to North Korea ability to produce nuclear weapons and actually has the gut or craziness to use it.
Taiwan issue is not simple. The accepted norm is that there is one China which include Taiwan. Which China is legitimate ruler ? The answers have been quite obvious for a number of years.

Developing nations with large population will never succeed if they apply the Western style of political ism, if they want quick economic progress. Hence, BRICS should attract all such nations towards this end.

A sick wing can never help a healthy wing to sustain normal flying, if there is a healthy one.
He has completely given up on the salads!
Would the Chinese system be an example for Australia?
impossible
Typical Anglo-American view point when China was still internal contradiction was was a tussle between public and private enterprises a poverty ridden state, the Deng period magically became rich and by Xi Jinping era was a tussle between public and private enterprises (no mention of the reform in the socio-economic sphere, let alone the war waged against the collective west). There is no mention of the effect of BRICS and its effect on de-dollarization and the global support it has earned. All in all Rudd's narrow minded take on China shows who will survive and win the China-US competition. Rudd didn't dare claim US will win.
Kevin Rudd has an axe to grind wi Xi Jinping
China's progress owes not so much to Marx, and others; but to Hegel, an this philosophy... ...which enables a massive country to recap- recapitulation- and change direction, depending on the circumstances...

Agree, as a diplomat one should know that there is a difference in between “invasion “ and “ special operations “
Kevin, ur analysis is over kill. China under cpc during 1949-1978 did not understand how to run economy. Most of leaders came from dirt poor background. They robbed off assets and Capitals from the rich and entrepreneurs and distribute to the poors as those dirt poor revolutionists would do. To overturn a power is easier than to govern as in Chinese idiom. cpc did not want to see the the poor continued to suffer . Deng was an oversea student to France, he saw capitalism in France. Remember, at that time China had been in perpetual decline about 150 years. In addition to the encouragement of older Lee of Singapore, he started a few smaller scale experiments in China, finally unleashed the entrepreneurism of the Chinese people.
It is also good that planned economy helped efficiency of the growth. Some would argue it was largely inefficient approaches. But to Chinese people they have patience. Time (history) to them is of lesser concern compared to in the capitalism. These nation state capitalists could not understand. These are so simple not complicated to chinese.
What we need to do is to study what China gets right to pull the thousands year civilization state out of poverty in 40 years. It is extraordinary and what are the advantage of planned economy. Set aside of ideology about cpc. In fact some of the contents of cpc are for the balance of a society as in Europe. Cpc has deep grass roots' supports by that way. We need a degree of protecting the poor (how to do it is a question).
Kevin, you have to keep the best interest of Australia in mind. I am worried that most people in us environment would have tendency to be in agreement with us' foreign policy. Myself is not indifferent until the containment policy. Simply in common sense, it would not work, if you do not use military force to help you. All you can do is to improve yourself. In fact, independent voice in us toward China is rare these days. Even if you have been the chairman of Asia society in new york, that would not equivale to an independent thinking towards China. Australia needs Paul Keating type of independent thinker and leader to contour Australia in the trouble water.
China/cpc progress is remarkable in positive note. It benefited to the country and to its people. Who cares what the name of the party. To us, the ordinary civilian in the society, Us decline is obvious. If the polis in us continues this trend, they will distract and destroy the supremacy once they wanted to maintain. But Australia should not be the victim in between the big powers' struggles.
You spelt his name Wong it’s Krudd
Trying to separate “relations of production” and “factors of production” is illusional. It ignores incentives and blissfully hope people just work hard even if they are not rewarded for their efforts. 大锅饭 didn’t work and won’t work .
The government and most of exits and blacks put the religion before regulation rules of laws as the life’s needed for all humans must be requiring that you must be following not the religions. Religions didn’t make you earning daily life’s living’s standards needed can’t without whatsoever.

How can the country’s will thinking of as apart of my families as whites?! Unless my families marry one still not following of outsides of the legacy’s but my families only to carryover the NG’s families never changed of my beloved brother’s name.s Timothy Ka Hong Ng legacy’s whatsoever. Even you are different colors of the situations that I will marks as my beloved brother’s and myself the wills must be following effectively immediately.

Kevin Rudd wanted to be a "smart" guy, but his understanding on China was just wrong. Here is how John Thronton talk about Kevin
th-cam.com/video/kgUX82Vh_8I/w-d-xo.html
Kevin Rudd only understands the surface of China and politics and is overly obsessed with his dialectics and theories
Most people who come on here prefer to listen to a limited white man who admittedly has made great pains to understand the Chinese language.
What they should really be listening to is from Chinese people directly. Chinese are (since Deng) pragmatic and that extends to the CPC. They are not bogged down by Western obsession with ideology.
The West continues to listen to its own voice and continues to make completely farcical predictions on China and its collapse. This is called wishful thinking which people like The Economist and Gordon Chang engage in perennially for over 3 decades since TianAnMen incident.
Instead China continues to defy the West and grow. Even after the recent doom and gloom west media reports on China's economy, it is growing at over 5% with the biggest influx of FDI INTO China. Contrast the US with bank collapses and a turgid 1.2% growth + inflation.
Yet many in the West continue to drum beat that China will fail bc of its political system.
China has zero interest in exporting political systems unlike the West which has a long and dark track record proselytizing as in step with its Abrahamic tradition. China doesn't care. You are free to adopt whatever you think works best for your country.
This is where listening to Rudd and ridiculous so called experts on say "Asia Society" (all white) does no one benefit in understanding China.
West prefers to wank off to its own coloured lens on China rather than truly understand how the place works. If someone like say Eric X Li explains to them why it works so effectively, they will invent some sort of ideological base excuse to preserve their own untouchable sacred cow 'freedumb and democrazy'
We only have to ask what 2 decades plus of Freedom and so called Democracy brought to Afghanistan or Iraq or for that matter the Middle East.
Contrast China is one swift move has resolved the Middle East main conflict between Saudis and Iran.
The rest of the world understand what China can bring leaving their own baggage of history and ideology to the side in favour of practical solutions.
Pity the West prey to their group think created by their equally self serving media😁
Schizophrenia, isn’t it?
He killed People in Australia with his Chinese Insulation Scheme !!!!
Hes a pancake flip flop
Blah Blah non stop talking you learn nothing from him
Why the consistent referral to Marxist-Lennon ideology? Better leave the lands of America and Australia for the Native Americans and the Aborigines.
Is this man working for peace, war mongering or just his ego.

Kevin Rudd
Why the worry and obsession about China?
You are better off listening to Asians like Kishore Mahbubani.
Kevin’s delivery is consistently boring as usual, despite the contents. My gut feeling is that Kevin might get two points wrong. (1) Kevin always analyzes the ideology in the Marxism /Leninism/socialism framework. Although the Party donned the Socialism coat, the inner identity is simply a continuation of the elites that existed in the past two thousand years, and the governance is simply a continuation of the political practice that was conducted in the past two thousand years. (2) on the alternative model for other developing countries, I suspect it’s a tactic narrative. Not a single sensible mind in china believes it would work for others. These two possible flaws might have serious consequences if the analysis is extrapolated to guide policy making.
If this guy is to explain chinese n china n u r watching this guy u have already lost.

Give a break I listen to this dude Kevin I feel so sleepy and very boring lecture....just deleted it
