Jacinto chua: Then what does westernization mean? Was China westernized? I believe China was. As a matter of fact every country was westernized, I believe.
@@legpol they are just in partial westernisation, or transition from ancient civilisation towards modern civilisation. because the objective of western Universities to to train individual adult to have independence critical thinking and able to do logical deduction , and not the process of copying to look like one. If the majority of the people and students of that nation , unable to do independence critical thinking and logical deduction thinking , then they are not in the modern civilisation . Their mind set still are the ancient civilisation , and ancient civilisation is characterise by repressive mode of social culture. Modern/ western civilisation is characterise by the relative freedom of choices, human right respected / protected and democracy mode.
@@ct9245 : Yes, what you have said is quite true. But westernization primarily includes Western sciences and technologies as well as political system. Did China learn any (from the West) ?
@@ct9245 : No, the Western unversities never involved in the independence critical thinking. They were only involved in science and technological training; they taught Chinese science and technologies. They taught you English. You first learned English and then you learned science and technologies in English. You are now reading and writing English. You even have an English name. Without English, Chinese will not be able to westernize. China will remain poor and backward.
Let me remind you that 30 years after WW2, the Asia 4 dragons, Hongkong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, all Chinese ethics in Asia are already rich. Including Japan, all with a similar culture, which is hardworking and thrifty life style. Even those southeast asian countries where Chinese ethics are very small % population, but the business communities are dominated by Chinese ethics. So what happen during the time from 1949-1980???? is that really communism at work? the structural advantage that make the Chinese in mainland China stay as "sick man of asia"?

We notice that western medias intentionally ignore Kishore and people like him. Western medias are still more or less dominant in the world, so they have the ability to suppress any non-western ideas.
People don't seem to get it. The current dispute between China and the "West" is not the result of misunderstanding or difference in culture. The emerging conflict is deliberate and intentional informed by America's desire to remain #1 and China's perceived challenge to American imperial hegemony. If there were no differences, America would concoct one. The 2 could be identical twins, and it wouldn't matter. A pretext exists for animosity because America desires a pretext. China is essentially dealing with a sociopath looking for a fight. There's no reasoning with such an individual here. The Chinese must be adroit and clever and avoid the crazy-man as long as possible.
China is not looking for a fight. China wants to make sure that her citizens can have a better lives by developing economically and US is afraid that China will overtake her. It's US that is looking for a fight.
@@hongqi5734 China copies a lot from the west accept democrasy and human rights. It looks like any other dictatorship. They would copy whatever is necessary to make money accept things that might make the dictatorship loose power. The question is why Kishore cannot grab this. Why is he going round and round in circles trying to please china. I never seen Kishore critic china a tiny bit. The same goes to Singapore Chinese who never critic china a tiny bit . This behaviour needs some investigation.

At the heart of it is, once woken up, its Chinese culture with its flexible pragmatism due to its large population which nearby countries could emulate but without the same degree of enduring success.

Look at how Singapore (a small island with 75-80% are Chinese ethnic with deep Chinese culture) managed to develop from a fishing village to a strong regional financial centric country especially surrounded by huge Muslim countries. Not to mention Singapore’s military is also the most advanced and powerful in ASEAN too. Now tell me, why would China not be possible to achieve or become the world #1 Superpower. It is best that the western countries continue to not understand China, why? If they understand, then they will be able to learn/copy and also able to strike China’s weakness. (Being sarcastic here)
The reason is simple. Singapore supports Ukraine and other nation's sovereignty independence and territorial integrity, but Chiina doesn't. So there is NO "Chiina's century", sorry, and we US mean it!

Can you cite some economic policies of CCP that created the speedy development? I don't think anyone can because there is none. The REFORM of Deng(改革开放）means Correction (改革）and Open door to be freed (开放）. It means there are no new unique policies but to learn from Western capitalism, where people are allowed to create their own businesses. In other words, China is better without Communism.
@@manchanang7066 That would be a long essay. CCP's policies since 1949 have been so unique because it managed to merge both the Soviet Union model and western model and with historical Chinese practices. 改革开放 is only part of the policy package. Think about it. Why many countries which also adopted 改革开放 soon lost all their key industries and resources to foreigners and many fell into the mid-income trap? It's much more complicated that you have to fit into the complex context of a country, especially for the one as large as China. If it's so easy, India should be world No.1 decades ago.
The Chinese Democracy defined by this ancient maxim: 民以食为天 : The mass need food security 而民以食为天: The King shall take care of the mass. That's the heaven mandate.

Every friction between China and the US can be traced back to one simple fundamental difference between them: long term thinking vs short term thinking The US doesnt understand long term cause and effect If we compare this in terms of human biological development, the US has the restrain and long term planning capacity of a 2 year old toddler Everything it has done vis-a-via China in recent years are kneejerk reactions that has or will backfire in the long term Take the chip wars for example Starving China of advanced microchips sounds like a winning strategy in theory, and it might even work in the short term But in the long term all this does is provide impetus for China to develop its own microchip industry, resulting in a game state that is worse for the US than it started off with And the funniest part, this isn't even the first time this has happened The US tried to cut China off from space. But what look what happened, China just went ahead and developed their own space station The US tried to cut China off from advanced jet engines. But look what happened, China just went ahead and developed their own And still the US is too dumb to learn. They just aren't capable of understanding cause and effect This fundamental difference, long term thinking vs short term thinking, is the source of all frictions between China and the US But it is also the reason why China will win
Hiyuke La Vie : You are right on the point with the "long term thinking vs short term thinking". The US should have started from the late 18th century when they funded the establishment of the universities in China. They missed. Then in the 19th century, and in the 20th century, they were still training Chinese students by the millions. They, the Americans, have no long term thinking. They 惹火燒身。The China fire of course will have no mercy.
@@legpol The US didn't just train Chinese students. Students from all over the world studied in the US More importantly, the US benefitted greatly from this, with many students who studied in the US staying there and becoming major contributors in various sectors There's a reason why universities all over the world, not just the US, want to attract foreign students Literally allows their country first pick at the most promising talents
@@hiyukelavie2396 : Yes, the US was benefitted greatly by foreign students. Did any foreign students benefit their own country? From the universal nature of the English language I believe every country in the world was benefitted by the US or the West. Among them China was the biggest benefitted. Now China hated the US the most.
@@legpol Hahaha...China hated the US the most? It actually depends on which groups of Chinese people you are talking about I guess. I don't think most of Chinese people hate US, including those elite wealthy Chinese people, since many of them are either trying to send or have sent their assets and kids to US. Even many of the family members of CCP leaders have been in US. For ordinary Chinese people, they don't even bother to hate US since US is far beyond their reach. They only care about what happens in their daily life. The core of the Sino-American conflicts has always been about national interests, which in many ways, based on fundamental differences of ideology and value systems. To me, that will be an issue for foreseeable future and co-existence is the only way out for both countries.
Many Americans believe that their political system and social values are the very best in the world exactly like how their forefathers believed Christianity is the one true religion. And just like their forefathers who believed they had a duty to spread Christianity all over the world, Americans today also believe they must spread their system and values. And just like their fundamentalist Christian forefathers who saw non-Christians as threats, Americans today also view anybody who rejects American political system and social values as a threat that needs to be converted through force. Or at least to be weakened so much that they no longer represent a threat. This faith in the superiority and truth of their system and values blind Americans today to the reality of China
From young, most Chinese people are taught the fundamentals of business, trade, risk taking, perseverance, hard work, saving, fraternity, innovativeness, culture, customs etc. So ask yourself what about the other races and nationalities whether they are Western or not. What do their Leaders, Govt., political parties, religious or ideological preachers etc teach their younger generations or how to equip them for a better future? It's difficult to understand the Chinese until you live and mix with their community and understand their long long handed down heritage, culture, philosophies etc and how they life should be lived for the future generations to follow. Generalizing the Chinese according to Western Media narratives or propaganda thru the lens of their medias, rhetorics, academicians, stories, perceptions, fables is the first mistake to make as the wrong judgement is already made in the mind even before one starts. A better source to start would be to ask those people of Nations who have interacted with the Chinese since ancient times via the various trade routes and their generations today eg Persians, Arabs, Central Asians, SE Asians etc.
The Eastern mentality, like our Western mindset, is an evolutionary process that is 100 % human like ours. But humanity in the East has gone through critical common sense trials and errors that make the East very different from Western Societies. There was a time that China and the West had similar polytheistic belief systems, for example. There were high gods, war gods, and gods of rivers and mountains. In the West, these beliefs have evolved into a monotheistic belief system that may have started with the faith in a SUN GOD, ACKNATON in Egypt, to a holistic faith in Yahweh, the former War God of The Canaanites, who wound up becoming the god of the Jews, Christians, and Moslems. This evolution was borrowed from Persia, Egypt, Babylon, and Europe. The Eastern belief system may have begun with Indian Vedas that formed the basis for Hinduism, Brahmanism, and the Buddhism of Gautama Siddhartha. These religious transitions also underwent changes that kept the THEORY OF CAUSATION as a core, whether it became monastic or a religion of lay practitioners. Consequently, people in the East tend to take responsibility for what happens to them rather than think that others are to be blamed for their failures. When a person from the East is in HELL, it is a life state that, in modern terms, is equated with depression. The Eastern person knows that their practice will help them surpass the state of hell so that happiness will reign in their lives again. When a Western person is depressed( HELL), THEY GIVE in TO THEIR SUFFERING OR GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST. Eastern philosophy in China is of a type called MAHAYANA BUDDHISM. Whether a person lives in Japan or China, they feel that it is up to them to make the lives of their parents and their children better. In the West, we are more disconnected from our families as we must pursue our dreams and aspirations. In China, a scholar named CONFUCIUS gave China a way of life that incorporated the idea that we are all children of heaven(GOD?) and that there was a need for fielty to the heavens by the ruler(THE EMPEROR OR THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY) as there is a responsibility of the ruler for the happiness of the people(education, health, and welfare). This fielty and virtue traveled to the Chinese family structure. It started with observing a cultural protocol that began with fielty and integrity and responsibility for the patriarch(grandfather and grandmother) to parents and then to children by their respective ages. It is surprising to observe that today Confucianism and Buddhism still thrive at the core of the lives of 1.4 billion people. We in the West think that individual human rights and voting for a candidate chosen for us make us a democracy. The Chinese know that we are wrong to believe in this manner. To a Chinese person, governance must take into account performance. If the government does not yield results for the people's education, health, and welfare, IT IS NOT DEMOCRATIC. The selection of leaders must be based on merit and competence rather than on popularity. TODAY THERE ARE NO CHINESE THAT WOULD TRADE PLACES WITH A PERSON IN THE US. Would any sane person prefer JOE BIDEN to XI JINPING? Do Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan compare with WANG YI AND QIN GANG? Of greater importance are the policies of war and the policies of peace. For the next one hundred years, China will continue to be a proponent of peaceful development. Eventually, China will become a modern social democratic meritocracy. Or, it will continue to try to grow economically, culturally, politically, and socially. It will outpace the US and India. Presently, China must figure out that Taiwan must not continue to block its progress by continuing to be a US pawn in the containment of China within the First Island Chain. Though THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE has been successful, China has not perfected alternative routes for the resources it needs. The US knows that eventually, the US will not be able to stop China. The US will continue to provoke war by using Taiwan as a pawn and a proxy. China is neutralizing the US in the Philippines. China must also settle all SOUTH CHINA SEA conflicts. The dynamics in Taiwan are changing. Taiwan does not want to end up as rubble, and China has every incentive to work with everybody and anybody in Taiwan to get the KMT into power once more. If China is able to find a peaceful arrangement with Taiwan, it will be able to bypass the US hostilities with more success.WE LIVE IN VERY DANGEROUS TIMES.
While i do agree with many things you posted, but there is something that i will disagree. We in the East do not believe in a thing called "abrahamic monotheist god", there was/is no comparison between our believe system to any of the abrahamic system. Tian(天) has nothing to do with the monotheist god, there's no need to find something to force the compatibility between the two. Confucius never give the idea that Chinese were the children of god, no such thing. Confucius said stay away from supernatural beings(whether those are god(s) or demon(s)). Hundred school of thought in ancient China do not taught/teach and denied the existence of a single monotheist god like those of abraham, the Chinese since the ancient were smart enough not to believe in such monotheist god that was/is full of logical fallacy and contradictions upon contradictions. And abrahamic religions are religions of prophecy, while Dharmic religions are religions of mysticism, and Chinese traditional believes are religions of wisdom, there are no relations and similarity between religions that depends on prophets from middle east with religions of mysticism from South Asia or religions of wisdoms from China.
@@zackk7175 China never abandoned Confucianism, in fact, Confucianism moral and ethics can be found on every day lives on virtually majority of Han Chinese and many non Han Chinese as well. And i'm not even mentioning that the CPC actually promotes Confucianism in this modern era.
The West understands China the way it understands China. China understands the West the way China understands the West. The idea that the West is wrong about China assumes there is a right and wrong way to understand something like a complete nation (or a bunch of nations) and it would just take a simple adjustment for everyone to understand each other correctly. How about if we start off wit the assumption that understanding takes compromise and a willingness to go out of your own culture in order to understand the other. We are all in the same boat. First, let's stop saying the "West." Does China understand India?
In every objective measure China understands the West better than the West understands China. Otherwise it would have remained a failed third world country. The way it advanced is a testament that it knew how to utilize the world order and adapt to Western dominated globe in an efficient way. The West now is panicking. Which is a testament that it's incapable of fully reading China.
Fundamentally their are two way to approach this school of thought. It’s either a civilisation comes from a repressive history, oppressive environment and finally finds itself harmonious and democratic. Every civilisation has its own journey towards harmony and prosperity. The west has its own repressive/oppressive history which it has learned and now deem itself as a more coherent to democratic and harmonic society values. However China has similarly gone through the same phases during its dynasties and now have found harmony and prosperity using a centrally controlled system without loosing democratic values in its own way. This works for them. So there will never be a situation where either side west or east to see eye to eye on these principles as each find merit in their own system. The only way is live and let live. So which one you want to take?
Ancient civilisation are repressive society , Modern civilisation is freedom and democratic. Many Asian’ societies are in the transition of ancient civilisation towards modern civilisation. Many still in ancient civilisation in fact .
Don't accept your argument that the west has found peace. It hasn't, evidently, and its not willing to look, see and learn. The world is hostage to western "values" and often hegemony.

The only monumental similarity of 3000yrs of Chinese history is 1 ruler takes all. All national resources are at his disposal. Everyone exist to serve the ruler. That was what Confucius was preaching about which is also why he was elevated to sage status by every royal court of every dynasty. What the west got wrong is that they keep thinking it's a republic when its internal society n political circles clearly know it's a kingdom.

Kishore, the 3000 over year had made the Chinese to respect what they had suffered & strive for the rest for the good of humanity. Unlike the US & the west, due to only few hundred year of of new found prosperity & bullying the west thought that it is the god given rights to them to be aarrogant & look down on other few thousand years of humanity & thought they r supreme being. Thus their stupidity gets them to the present state. What can mankind sayto them but they deserve it.
The fact that 3000 histories are ancient civilisation , ancient civilisation are based on repressive societies . Modern civilisation is freedom and democratic .
4000 history does not mean any things , although the ancient chinese has the concept of 大同世界 which means universal harmony , the 4000 history unable to achieve it . But small state such as Singapore using English Language to run its state , took only 50 odd years and achieved the universal harmony / 大同世界 in its state.
There is no secret in human cultural or civilisation different , it is just only an excuse . The religious text ( christianity , buddhist , islam , etc ) can be translated in all languages , could transcend culture , language , nations , and still able to achieve it result to produce saints and sages . The ancient Indian able to transmit Buddhist text and teachings to the Chinese civilisation and transform them , hence similarly from Indo European sources , the western civilisation can eventually transform the Chinese / Japanese / Korean / Vietnamese too.

He was thrown a very good question but could only answer in the same way as he often does. The issue at heart was the view of China by academics from the wrong end of the bottle, superficial and framed in liberal democratic terms. As such research goes off in a tangent. Mahbu did not answer the question .
The issues of the civilisation conflict came from the Chinese language , they are not logical , hence unable to produce modern legal law, democratic and modern science . Unlike indo-european languages which are very logically based , which produce modern civilisation , build on logical legal law framework, democratic parliament, modern maths and science .
The issue is that the Chinese themselves also unable to list out clearly and scientifically on their thoughts for the world to study upon . Just like the Chinese TCM ( traditional medicine ) , the Chinese also unable to list out scientifically for the world to understand what is it about ? If it is ready a scientific / logically based ?

Nobody wants govt repression, everyone wants to live in peace of mind and dignity. Those are universal values, transcending beyond cultures. If you want to see the fine balance between western values such democracy and Chinese culture, look no further than in Taiwan. Taiwan preserves Chinese culture well better than mainland China where CCP destroyed a lot of Chinese cultural values starting with Cultural Revolution under Mao Zedong. It is pathetic to see Kishore always being an apologist for the CCP authoritarian regime.
Bro, the Republic of China (Taiwan) literally genocided the native Taiwanese (biologically and culturally) during the last 50 years. Far worse than what the CCP ever has done to its minorities. To this day, even if you include the political repression in Xinjiang and Tibet, they will wont be worse that what the ROC did during the White terror.

While it is definitely true that Chinese culture and history is vastly different than Western culture and history, this video gives no information whatsoever on the nature and relevance of that difference. Chinese culture is hierarchical, paternalistic and mercantilist. This is reinforced by 5,000 years of Chinese history. Singapore is similarly hierarchical, paternalistic and mercantilist. Moreover, for all its festooning as a “democracy,” Singapore is, in fact, a police state that places strong constraints on freedom of expression and behavior. Singapore will execute one of its citizens this week for trafficking just over1 Kg of cannabis. Most Americans would find such a society and culture stifling and intolerable. Moreover, it should be abundantly evident by now that “freedom” and “democracy” are not requisites for a prosperous, stable and happy society. Most Americans cannot fathom that fact. It is insufficient to point out that Chinese and Western culture are “different.” That is belaboring the obvious. It is necessary to delineate precisely the nature of that difference and its relevance to the present discussion.

Kishore Mahbubani is very very wrong about Chinese future is determined by 4000 years of Chinese culture, because the old Chinese culture, the ancient Chinese philosophy is no longer popular in China today, the old philosophy are not taught in school, except those in College specialize in ancient philosophy. In fact, the ancient Chinese philosophies are found in Japan, South Korea, HK and Taiwan.
@@ftu2021 Let me remind you that China almost lost their traditional Chinese holidays. Those old Chinese holidays revived only recently......what a fool you are?!?!?!
So, Chinese are different than westerners. We already knew that. How about some insightful examples of how they are different? This video told us nothing.
To understand..u to live there for few years..study their history....culture... A SIMPLE EXAMPLE..WILL BE ....CHINESE TREASURE HARMONY...ABOVE PERSONAL RIGHTS ! Social disciple over..individual rights !
one example is Children there are not spoiled brats like you. they get spank when they did something wrong. that spank right there make them tough physically and mentally. which explains why kids there don't get easily offended and do mass shootings. 😂😂 that also explains why grand parents there are not a burden to their children. there are more grand parents in China like how the west do, but only the west have lots of lots of demand for caregivers. Chinese grandparent are tough and can take care of themselves.
I have another western scholar introduce it to you, his name is Pascal Coppens, he did a full comparison between the western thinking and the Chinese thinking, that was truly insightful! You can Google him or run a search on TH-cam about his work.
A tip, the majority of the westerners are linear thinking, right or wrong, black and white, up or down etc. The majority of the Chinese are spherical thinking - possibilities, not necessary one way or the other, this also connected to our writing system, the Alphabetical writing system is associated with the left atmosphere of the human brain, photography writing system is more to the right atmosphere of the human brain, let me introduce a book for casual reading, the name of the book is - Alphabet verses Goddess by Leonard Shlain, it is not about Chinese writing, but the difference ancient writing system in general, it proposed an interesting theory about the writing system that often shape who we are
It is great that people are interested in how a Chinese thinks and its culture but keep in mind that has little to do with Chinese governance as peple have no say in how CCP conducts itself. Also keep in mind that most people you speak to in the US are in fact elites of the Chinese society as around only 5% to 10% of Chinese have the priveledge to travel,nevermind the money to afford university education or talk to people like Kishore. The perfect example mix of Japanese, American and Chinese culture at a mocro level are the Taiwanese . Taiwanese people loves American,Japanese but Chinese not so much. Keep in mind most of the Taiwanese have visited mainland and millions are working there,albeit many are currently pulling out, but really Taiwanese mass have figured out that being 'Chinese" in the current form is not that great.
I disagree. The mass of Taiwanese is being brainwashed into becoming a slave and puppet to the West and the US in particular. Even so, they voted overwhelmingly in the last election to remain Chinese and to keep the status quo. The way the present Taiwanese leadership kowtowing to the US like a dog is so cringingly embrassing. The way Taiwan throws their citizens hard earned money into buying stupid, outdated weapons from the US is sickening. Let's just hope those idiots in Taiwan r not as stupid as those in Ukraine and let Taiwan become a proxy and battleground for the US. As to the CCP and it's governance - well, they r doing just fine. There r 1.4 billion Chinese. Even if only 10% of the population r elites that's already a number bigger than the population of most countries in the world.
@@wingkeungkong415 lol, In the US meaning you need visa and be able to afford plane ticket. Poor villager can theoretically illegally cross to US southern border from Ecuador without visa which many Chinese are doing but villagers can't afford to pay the smuggling fee.

Can you cite some economic policies of CCP that created the speedy development? I don't think anyone can because there is none. The REFORM of Deng(改革开放）means Correction (改革）and Open door to be freed (开放）. It means there are no new unique policies but to learn from Western capitalism, where people are allowed to create their own businesses. In other words, China is better without Communism.
You mean, USA is running under pure Democracy? No, most of the countries in the world have a mix of different political structure. Of course, pure Communism is not ideal for the current world, so CCP is learning along the way and introducing a different model over time. AND of course China has economic policies. That's how China grew to become a contender to be the World leader. Is that good? Only time can tell.
There are 53,700 US military stationing in Japan. Therefore, Japan is a colony of US. Even though Japan is culturally more different than China to US but Japan obey US and China does not. Therefore, US has to use force to get China to obey just like Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, etc.

People don't seem to get it. The current dispute between China and the "West" is not the result of misunderstanding or difference in culture. The emerging conflict is deliberate and intentional informed by America's desire to remain #1 and China's perceived challenge to American imperial hegemony. If there were no differences, America would concoct one. The 2 could be identical twins, and it wouldn't matter. A pretext exists for animosity because America desires a pretext. China is essentially dealing with a sociopath looking for a fight. There's no reasoning with such an individual here. The Chinese must be adroit and clever and avoid the crazy-man as long as possible.
You are spot on.

Look at how Singapore (a small island with 75-80% are Chinese ethnic with deep Chinese culture) managed to develop from a fishing village to a strong regional financial centric country especially surrounded by huge Muslim countries. Not to mention Singapore’s military is also the most advanced and powerful in ASEAN too. Now tell me, why would China not be possible to achieve or become the world #1 Superpower.
It is best that the western countries continue to not understand China, why? If they understand, then they will be able to learn/copy and also able to strike China’s weakness. (Being sarcastic here)
Singapore developed from a fishing village by being a British colony/naval base. It is impressive how it grew after the Brits left.
The reason is simple. Singapore supports Ukraine and other nation's sovereignty independence and territorial integrity, but Chiina doesn't. So there is NO "Chiina's century", sorry, and we US mean it!

而民以食为天: The King shall take care of the mass. That's the heaven mandate.
Thus, The King shall provide the best condition for the mass to be prosperous: From radicated abject poverty, elevate living standard, better & better income, with a huge bonus: Greening the desert, also taking care of the wildlife to large extent Y being the greatest Green Energy Generator, despite being the World Factory, China CO2 emission/capita is less than half of the US.

Every friction between China and the US can be traced back to one simple fundamental difference between them: long term thinking vs short term thinking
The US doesnt understand long term cause and effect
If we compare this in terms of human biological development, the US has the restrain and long term planning capacity of a 2 year old toddler
Everything it has done vis-a-via China in recent years are kneejerk reactions that has or will backfire in the long term
Take the chip wars for example
Starving China of advanced microchips sounds like a winning strategy in theory, and it might even work in the short term
But in the long term all this does is provide impetus for China to develop its own microchip industry, resulting in a game state that is worse for the US than it started off with
And the funniest part, this isn't even the first time this has happened
The US tried to cut China off from space. But what look what happened, China just went ahead and developed their own space station
The US tried to cut China off from advanced jet engines. But look what happened, China just went ahead and developed their own
And still the US is too dumb to learn. They just aren't capable of understanding cause and effect
This fundamental difference, long term thinking vs short term thinking, is the source of all frictions between China and the US
But it is also the reason why China will win
How can people cut you from this and that since you are a big country with all the natural resources and a huge population😂 ?
Hiyuke La Vie : You are right on the point with the "long term thinking vs short term thinking". The US should have started from the late 18th century when they funded the establishment of the universities in China. They missed.

@@legpol Hahaha...China hated the US the most? It actually depends on which groups of Chinese people you are talking about I guess. I don't think most of Chinese people hate US, including those elite wealthy Chinese people, since many of them are either trying to send or have sent their assets and kids to US. Even many of the family members of CCP leaders have been in US. For ordinary Chinese people, they don't even bother to hate US since US is far beyond their reach. They only care about what happens in their daily life.
The core of the Sino-American conflicts has always been about national interests, which in many ways, based on fundamental differences of ideology and value systems. To me, that will be an issue for foreseeable future and co-existence is the only way out for both countries.
Many Americans believe that their political system and social values are the very best in the world exactly like how their forefathers believed Christianity is the one true religion.
And just like their forefathers who believed they had a duty to spread Christianity all over the world, Americans today also believe they must spread their system and values.
And just like their fundamentalist Christian forefathers who saw non-Christians as threats, Americans today also view anybody who rejects American political system and social values as a threat that needs to be converted through force. Or at least to be weakened so much that they no longer represent a threat.
This faith in the superiority and truth of their system and values blind Americans today to the reality of China
From young, most Chinese people are taught the fundamentals of business, trade, risk taking, perseverance, hard work, saving, fraternity, innovativeness, culture, customs etc. So ask yourself what about the other races and nationalities whether they are Western or not. What do their Leaders, Govt., political parties, religious or ideological preachers etc teach their younger generations or how to equip them for a better future?
It's difficult to understand the Chinese until you live and mix with their community and understand their long long handed down heritage, culture, philosophies etc and how they life should be lived for the future generations to follow.
Generalizing the Chinese according to Western Media narratives or propaganda thru the lens of their medias, rhetorics, academicians, stories, perceptions, fables is the first mistake to make as the wrong judgement is already made in the mind even before one starts.
A better source to start would be to ask those people of Nations who have interacted with the Chinese since ancient times via the various trade routes and their generations today eg Persians, Arabs, Central Asians, SE Asians etc.
Socialism with chinese characteristics has proven its worth and ever evolving with changing time in perpetuity (like water).
Socialism is a total failure in 20 century. Even CCP doesn't believe it.

We can only understand China with Chinese perspective. 😊
The Eastern mentality, like our Western mindset, is an evolutionary process that is 100 % human like ours. But humanity in the East has gone through critical common sense trials and errors that make the East very different from Western Societies. There was a time that China and the West had similar polytheistic belief systems, for example. There were high gods, war gods, and gods of rivers and mountains. In the West, these beliefs have evolved into a monotheistic belief system that may have started with the faith in a SUN GOD, ACKNATON in Egypt, to a holistic faith in Yahweh, the former War God of The Canaanites, who wound up becoming the god of the Jews, Christians, and Moslems. This evolution was borrowed from Persia, Egypt, Babylon, and Europe. The Eastern belief system may have begun with Indian Vedas that formed the basis for Hinduism, Brahmanism, and the Buddhism of Gautama Siddhartha. These religious transitions also underwent changes that kept the THEORY OF CAUSATION as a core, whether it became monastic or a religion of lay practitioners.
Consequently, people in the East tend to take responsibility for what happens to them rather than think that others are to be blamed for their failures. When a person from the East is in HELL, it is a life state that, in modern terms, is equated with depression. The Eastern person knows that their practice will help them surpass the state of hell so that happiness will reign in their lives again. When a Western person is depressed( HELL), THEY GIVE in TO THEIR SUFFERING OR GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST. Eastern philosophy in China is of a type called MAHAYANA BUDDHISM. Whether a person lives in Japan or China, they feel that it is up to them to make the lives of their parents and their children better. In the West, we are more disconnected from our families as we must pursue our dreams and aspirations. In China, a scholar named CONFUCIUS gave China a way of life that incorporated the idea that we are all children of heaven(GOD?) and that there was a need for fielty to the heavens by the ruler(THE EMPEROR OR THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY) as there is a responsibility of the ruler for the happiness of the people(education, health, and welfare). This fielty and virtue traveled to the Chinese family structure. It started with observing a cultural protocol that began with fielty and integrity and responsibility for the patriarch(grandfather and grandmother) to parents and then to children by their respective ages. It is surprising to observe that today Confucianism and Buddhism still thrive at the core of the lives of 1.4 billion people. We in the West think that individual human rights and voting for a candidate chosen for us make us a democracy. The Chinese know that we are wrong to believe in this manner. To a Chinese person, governance must take into account performance. If the government does not yield results for the people's education, health, and welfare, IT IS NOT DEMOCRATIC. The selection of leaders must be based on merit and competence rather than on popularity. TODAY THERE ARE NO CHINESE THAT WOULD TRADE PLACES WITH A PERSON IN THE US. Would any sane person prefer JOE BIDEN to XI JINPING? Do Anthony Blinken and Jake Sullivan compare with WANG YI AND QIN GANG?
Of greater importance are the policies of war and the policies of peace. For the next one hundred years, China will continue to be a proponent of peaceful development. Eventually, China will become a modern social democratic meritocracy. Or, it will continue to try to grow economically, culturally, politically, and socially. It will outpace the US and India. Presently, China must figure out that Taiwan must not continue to block its progress by continuing to be a US pawn in the containment of China within the First Island Chain. Though THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE has been successful, China has not perfected alternative routes for the resources it needs. The US knows that eventually, the US will not be able to stop China. The US will continue to provoke war by using Taiwan as a pawn and a proxy. China is neutralizing the US in the Philippines. China must also settle all SOUTH CHINA SEA conflicts. The dynamics in Taiwan are changing. Taiwan does not want to end up as rubble, and China has every incentive to work with everybody and anybody in Taiwan to get the KMT into power once more. If China is able to find a peaceful arrangement with Taiwan, it will be able to bypass the US hostilities with more success.WE LIVE IN VERY DANGEROUS TIMES.
While i do agree with many things you posted, but there is something that i will disagree.
We in the East do not believe in a thing called "abrahamic monotheist god", there was/is no comparison between our believe system to any of the abrahamic system. Tian(天) has nothing to do with the monotheist god, there's no need to find something to force the compatibility between the two.
Confucius never give the idea that Chinese were the children of god, no such thing. Confucius said stay away from supernatural beings(whether those are god(s) or demon(s)). Hundred school of thought in ancient China do not taught/teach and denied the existence of a single monotheist god like those of abraham, the Chinese since the ancient were smart enough not to believe in such monotheist god that was/is full of logical fallacy and contradictions upon contradictions.
And abrahamic religions are religions of prophecy, while Dharmic religions are religions of mysticism, and Chinese traditional believes are religions of wisdom, there are no relations and similarity between religions that depends on prophets from middle east with religions of mysticism from South Asia or religions of wisdoms from China.

Go visit, live and mingle with China and Chinese. Seeing is believing. When you do that, you see from your own eyes, no BS.
The West understands China the way it understands China. China understands the West the way China understands the West. The idea that the West is wrong about China assumes there is a right and wrong way to understand something like a complete nation (or a bunch of nations) and it would just take a simple adjustment for everyone to understand each other correctly. How about if we start off wit the assumption that understanding takes compromise and a willingness to go out of your own culture in order to understand the other. We are all in the same boat. First, let's stop saying the "West."
Does China understand India?
In every objective measure China understands the West better than the West understands China.
Otherwise it would have remained a failed third world country.
The way it advanced is a testament that it knew how to utilize the world order and adapt to Western dominated globe in an efficient way.
The West now is panicking. Which is a testament that it's incapable of fully reading China.
So by your logic, which part of the West has been right about China?
Fundamentally their are two way to approach this school of thought. It’s either a civilisation comes from a repressive history, oppressive environment and finally finds itself harmonious and democratic. Every civilisation has its own journey towards harmony and prosperity. The west has its own repressive/oppressive history which it has learned and now deem itself as a more coherent to democratic and harmonic society values. However China has similarly gone through the same phases during its dynasties and now have found harmony and prosperity using a centrally controlled system without loosing democratic values in its own way. This works for them. So there will never be a situation where either side west or east to see eye to eye on these principles as each find merit in their own system. The only way is live and let live. So which one you want to take?
Ancient civilisation are repressive society , Modern civilisation is freedom and democratic.
Many Asian’ societies are in the transition of ancient civilisation towards modern civilisation. Many still in ancient civilisation in fact .
Don't accept your argument that the west has found peace. It hasn't, evidently, and its not willing to look, see and learn. The world is hostage to western "values" and often hegemony.
The Japanese are from Mars. The Chinese try to understand what it is to be human, to achieve inner peace & try to get along with everyone.
@Julian Craze One thing you ought to learn from Japan. It should benefit you - disembowelment.
Do you think speedy economic development is unique to China? let me remind you that before WW2, Japan, and Germany use 40 years to become a world power. After losing the war, with the heavy burden of war debts, Japan use 25 years to become 2nd largest economy in the world. Japan and Germany are small countries with very little, even zero natural resources. China is very poor in performance when compared with them. What kind of political systems they have? They achieve economic miracles after democratizing the countries.

The only monumental similarity of 3000yrs of Chinese history is 1 ruler takes all. All national resources are at his disposal. Everyone exist to serve the ruler. That was what Confucius was preaching about which is also why he was elevated to sage status by every royal court of every dynasty. What the west got wrong is that they keep thinking it's a republic when its internal society n political circles clearly know it's a kingdom.
Let me remind you that 30 years after WW2, the Asia 4 dragons, Hongkong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, all Chinese ethics in Asia are already rich. Including Japan, all with a similar culture, which is hardworking and thrifty life style. Even those southeast asian countries where Chinese ethics are very small % population, but the business communities are dominated by Chinese ethics. So what happen during the time from 1949-1980???? is that really communism at work? the structural advantage that make the Chinese in mainland China stay as "sick man of asia"?
Kishore, the 3000 over year had made the Chinese to respect what they had suffered & strive for the rest for the good of humanity. Unlike the US & the west, due to only few hundred year of of new found prosperity & bullying the west thought that it is the god given rights to them to be aarrogant & look down on other few thousand years of humanity & thought they r supreme being. Thus their stupidity gets them to the present state. What can mankind sayto them but they deserve it.
The fact that 3000 histories are ancient civilisation , ancient civilisation are based on repressive societies . Modern civilisation is freedom and democratic .
It's all a part of long, long, long learning process over many, many, many generations!
Kishore said " ...China 4,000 years of history ..."
The American do not have ...
4000 history does not mean any things , although the ancient chinese has the concept of 大同世界 which means universal harmony , the 4000 history unable to achieve it .
But small state such as Singapore using English Language to run its state , took only 50 odd years and achieved the universal harmony / 大同世界 in its state.
Nothing about cultural difference, in any culture u can see who is misbehaving...
If u don't stand up to a bully the bully will bully more.
There is no secret in human cultural or civilisation different , it is just only an excuse .
The religious text ( christianity , buddhist , islam , etc ) can be translated in all languages , could transcend culture , language , nations , and still able to achieve it result to produce saints and sages .
The ancient Indian able to transmit Buddhist text and teachings to the Chinese civilisation and transform them , hence similarly from Indo European sources , the western civilisation can eventually transform the Chinese / Japanese / Korean / Vietnamese too.

ECONOMIC Prosperity for all Nations!! no just for the so callled superior Anglosaxons the Usa and their Motherland-==England greetings from Mexico Whole ASia ..China!!!
Do you think speedy economic development is unique to China? let me remind you that before WW2, Japan, and Germany use 40 years to become a world power. After losing the war, with the heavy burden of war debts, Japan use 25 years to become 2nd largest economy in the world. Japan and Germany are small countries with very little, even zero natural resources. China is very poor in performance when compared with them. What kind of political systems they have? They achieve economic miracles after democratizing the countries.

@@xrc5540 Asking one question doesn't need 2 minutes.
The issues of the civilisation conflict came from the Chinese language , they are not logical , hence unable to produce modern legal law, democratic and modern science .
Unlike indo-european languages which are very logically based , which produce modern civilisation , build on logical legal law framework, democratic parliament, modern maths and science .
One is a bottom up approach, the other is a top-down approach. The one who master both and uses it wisely has the advantage.
Western scholars will obviously define china from western perspective
The issue is that the Chinese themselves also unable to list out clearly and scientifically on their thoughts for the world to study upon .
Just like the Chinese TCM ( traditional medicine ) , the Chinese also unable to list out scientifically for the world to understand what is it about ? If it is ready a scientific / logically based ?
The question to ask Prof Kishore is what is the CCP mindset and what is their political ideology?
Mindset about what? As l understand it, it is to live and let live. American mindset is live and dominate.
Wtever their mindset is, it is for their country not for anyone. So u shouldnt be worried.
I can tell you their political ideology is live and let live. The west ideology is live, plunder, rape, colonise, commit genocide, organise coup detat, install puppet regimes, cause war, test harmful bio-chemicals on own people, use orange agent on Vietnamese, blockade other countries, sanction, torture prisoners.. and then say: America is exceptional. My leg!
It is this lack of understanding the Asian mindset that will get them into trouble in Taiwan

There is no Asian Century, only the East Asian Century.
They means including India, Australia and Asean
Hi, I am the Honorable Coward😅
"..... You have to UNDERSTAND China on Chinese terms....." ... well said, Prof Mahbubani...
The civilisational divide is not easy, if not impossible, to reconcile.
Does Mr. Kishore Mahbubani know 战争是中华世纪的产婆? In the Chinese mindset there is only Chinese Century (to be realized by means of war). In the Chinese mindset, there is no Asian Century.
To begin with, he is PROF Kishore Mahbubani, not Mr. We don't see China going to war often in the recent century, at least not as much as the Americans, so where did you get that idea from?
@@tristramfuller ：If you meant 战争是中华世纪的产婆, you will get it by searching on the internet. It was a long read. It stated that China will use war to build a world empire after conquering the North America and possibly Australia. It is completely different from Prof. Kishore Mahbubani's idea that an Asian Curtury will be built peacefully by a loving China. He was dreaming all the time.
@@legpol The one who has been dreaming is more likely to be you! Where were you when the Americans were in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc? Where were you when the Europeans were in the continent of Africa, shipping out people as slaves, especially to the so called New World? Where were you when there was an empire called the great Britain which always divided and ruled the colonised locals? Where were you when the Japanese were all over Asia, on the ground, with all the torturing depots? You must be having a very long dream while the rest are having their nightmates!
Nobody wants govt repression, everyone wants to live in peace of mind and dignity. Those are universal values, transcending beyond cultures. If you want to see the fine balance between western values such democracy and Chinese culture, look no further than in Taiwan. Taiwan preserves Chinese culture well better than mainland China where CCP destroyed a lot of Chinese cultural values starting with Cultural Revolution under Mao Zedong. It is pathetic to see Kishore always being an apologist for the CCP authoritarian regime.
Bro, the Republic of China (Taiwan) literally genocided the native Taiwanese (biologically and culturally) during the last 50 years. Far worse than what the CCP ever has done to its minorities. To this day, even if you include the political repression in Xinjiang and Tibet, they will wont be worse that what the ROC did during the White terror.

"Foreigner" is not a nice word when referring to someone.
As long as you are not a local, you are a foreigner. How's that "not nice"? 🤔
in Japan and Korea, they are known as alien （ Gaijin / 外人） ，
主客有別， in any nation , the citizen are the owner ( host ) , and the foreigner is foreign guest ( 外客） ，
Which needs to distinguished clearly , even you visit your relative place , you still have to observe well your manner as you are still a guest .
In China they are even joked as 歪果仁 , funny nuts .
homophonic form of "外国人" ，which means foreigners.
@@ct9245 I agree with your point in regards to 主客有别. 歪果仁 is just making fun, just as Chinese in general were being made fun of as "Chings" or "Chongs", sometimes "Ching Chongs", in a few Western countries. Words like 鬼子 is "not nice", other than that, 外人 is fine.

While it is definitely true that Chinese culture and history is vastly different than Western culture and history, this video gives no information whatsoever on the nature and relevance of that difference.
Chinese culture is hierarchical, paternalistic and mercantilist. This is reinforced by 5,000 years of Chinese history. Singapore is similarly hierarchical, paternalistic and mercantilist. Moreover, for all its festooning as a “democracy,” Singapore is, in fact, a police state that places strong constraints on freedom of expression and behavior. Singapore will execute one of its citizens this week for trafficking just over1 Kg of cannabis. Most Americans would find such a society and culture stifling and intolerable. Moreover, it should be abundantly evident by now that “freedom” and “democracy” are not requisites for a prosperous, stable and happy society. Most Americans cannot fathom that fact.
It is insufficient to point out that Chinese and Western culture are “different.” That is belaboring the obvious. It is necessary to delineate precisely the nature of that difference and its relevance to the present discussion.
I dont think knowing the difference is important. Too much work. Important is respecting the difference.

In order to respect the difference, you first have to know that it exists and what it is.

So, Chinese are different than westerners. We already knew that. How about some insightful examples of how they are different? This video told us nothing.
Could be you are different
To understand..u to live there for few years..study their history....culture...
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE..WILL BE ....CHINESE TREASURE HARMONY...ABOVE PERSONAL RIGHTS !
Social disciple over..individual rights !
one example is Children there are not spoiled brats like you. they get spank when they did something wrong. that spank right there make them tough physically and mentally. which explains why kids there don't get easily offended and do mass shootings. 😂😂
that also explains why grand parents there are not a burden to their children. there are more grand parents in China like how the west do, but only the west have lots of lots of demand for caregivers. Chinese grandparent are tough and can take care of themselves.
I have another western scholar introduce it to you, his name is Pascal Coppens, he did a full comparison between the western thinking and the Chinese thinking, that was truly insightful! You can Google him or run a search on TH-cam about his work.
A tip, the majority of the westerners are linear thinking, right or wrong, black and white, up or down etc. The majority of the Chinese are spherical thinking - possibilities, not necessary one way or the other, this also connected to our writing system, the Alphabetical writing system is associated with the left atmosphere of the human brain, photography writing system is more to the right atmosphere of the human brain, let me introduce a book for casual reading, the name of the book is - Alphabet verses Goddess by Leonard Shlain, it is not about Chinese writing, but the difference ancient writing system in general, it proposed an interesting theory about the writing system that often shape who we are
It is great that people are interested in how a Chinese thinks and its culture but keep in mind that has little to do with Chinese governance as peple have no say in how CCP conducts itself. Also keep in mind that most people you speak to in the US are in fact elites of the Chinese society as around only 5% to 10% of Chinese have the priveledge to travel,nevermind the money to afford university education or talk to people like Kishore. The perfect example mix of Japanese, American and Chinese culture at a mocro level are the Taiwanese . Taiwanese people loves American,Japanese but Chinese not so much. Keep in mind most of the Taiwanese have visited mainland and millions are working there,albeit many are currently pulling out, but really Taiwanese mass have figured out that being 'Chinese" in the current form is not that great.
I disagree. The mass of Taiwanese is being brainwashed into becoming a slave and puppet to the West and the US in particular. Even so, they voted overwhelmingly in the last election to remain Chinese and to keep the status quo. The way the present Taiwanese leadership kowtowing to the US like a dog is so cringingly embrassing. The way Taiwan throws their citizens hard earned money into buying stupid, outdated weapons from the US is sickening. Let's just hope those idiots in Taiwan r not as stupid as those in Ukraine and let Taiwan become a proxy and battleground for the US.
As to the CCP and it's governance - well, they r doing just fine. There r 1.4 billion Chinese. Even if only 10% of the population r elites that's already a number bigger than the population of most countries in the world.
You are incorrect all Chinese has the ability to visit other country

@@wingkeungkong415 lol, In the US meaning you need visa and be able to afford plane ticket. Poor villager can theoretically illegally cross to US southern border from Ecuador without visa which many Chinese are doing but villagers can't afford to pay the smuggling fee. Other than Chinese elites there are Chinese who work from back of Chinese restaraunt in Monterey Park,CA where I frequent. I have no ideal how those guys got here but they are not integrated into the American society at all and stay in their corners of Chinese concentrated areas.

Can you cite some economic policies of CCP that created the speedy development? I don't think anyone can because there is none. The REFORM of Deng(改革开放）means Correction (改革）and Open door to be freed (开放）. It means there are no new unique policies but to learn from Western capitalism, where people are allowed to create their own businesses. In other words, China is better without Communism.
You mean, USA is running under pure Democracy? No, most of the countries in the world have a mix of different political structure. Of course, pure Communism is not ideal for the current world, so CCP is learning along the way and introducing a different model over time.
AND of course China has economic policies. That's how China grew to become a contender to be the World leader. Is that good? Only time can tell.
