    Officially, China's Communist Party is abbreviated CPC. But the West knows it as CCP. As my audience is mostly in the West, I used CCP during my video.
    China's Communist Party was founded 100 years ago. Why are Chinese celebrating this event, while many in the West believe that the CCP is a danger to liberal democracies and the Chinese population? What is the story behind the achievements of the CCP that makes most Chinese trust that the CCP has the best governance system for China? In the video, I explain why China is very confident in the guidance and actions of the CCP.
    Full speech of XI Jinping at 100 years CCP anniversary: asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Full...
    00:00 Why are Chinese celebrating the 100 years foundation of China's Communist Party? Many untold stories from Chinese people about how they think of the CCP reveal why Chinese have confidence in the CCP.
    00:41 How did CCP last for 100 years? This achievement came because the CCP has been able to survive in times of turbulence, which the Western media explains more often; but also because of the uniting of China during Mao era and opening up afterwards to become the modern superpower of today.
    03:10 Are you getting paid by CCP to share positive news about China? No. I am not getting paid by China, but by Western companies by giving keynotes to large audiences.
    04:18 Does the West distrust the CCP? The past five years, the view about China has become ever more negative. The West is trusting China less, and have little faith in the CCP and its words.
    04:48 Where does the Western negative view from China come from? The trend has been fuelled by the Trump administration, who revealed very clearly and openly how most Americans are thinking about China.
    05:20 Is China an authoritarian regime? The CCP is seen in Washington as an illegitimate non-elected one-party system, where decisions are very secretly. America needs to save Chinese from CCP is the narrative in the US.
    07:38 Is China a totalitarian regime? Mike Pompeo said that CCP almost always lie, and that Chinese people are oppressed by China's totalitarian regime led by the CCP. Many politicians in the West claim China and CCP lies, fakes its data, has become a police state and is seriously violating human rights. The main issue is that Chinese feel that the West is holding double standards.
    10:15 Is CCP all about staying in power? The West is obsessed with Xi Jinping, and see Communists as being bad and China's military becoming too powerful to keep the world safe. Should we fear China or is it a projection of how the West has been in the past?
    12:27 Why is the West distrusting China? Mike Pompeo said we should distrust and then verify. But how can we coexist with China if we distrust China? It is impossible.
    12:59 Do Chinese feel China is an authoritarian regime? Chinese have little problem with the meritocratic one-party system as it is most effective and plans better than other governments
    14:16 Do Chinese people fear the control of the CCP? China is one of the most data-driven government system, and as such more open than we believe in the West. Chinese are requesting party for more security and control from CCP in their low-trust society of China. Chinese do not fear to speak out, but do it differently and more prudent than in the West - yet results are achieved.
    15:35 Do Chinese trust their leaders? Chinese feel the leaders are good intentioned. China is more about confucianism that Communism. China aims for peaceful harmony, which is hardly a bad thing to aim for by CCP.
    16:50 Why do Chinese trust the CCP? Why not, is the answer you mostly get. The lives of Chinese people has improved so much over 30 years, that it is hard not to be supportive. Think of literacy rate, mobility, property ownership, food access, entrepreneurship, healthcare, economic wealth, ...
    18:55 Did Chinese middle class rise because of CCP? Definitively.
    19:29 What is real reason so many Chinese support CCP? Its because of the left-behinds (immigrants and smaller cities) and vulnerable (farmers and seniors) of society that need the CCP to move up in social mobility. What matters for them mostly is education, infrastructure, property, healthcare, food and travel. More people in China trust the government than most governments in the world because of their actions, not words.
    25:58 Why are Chinese so confident about what CCP did? CCP helped China get a lot more convenient, provided great infrastructure, helped become an innovation powerhouse and is sharing the vision and dreams of a modern China.

    As many people commented on why I used CCP instead of CPC, I would like to comment. As I wrote in description of my video:
    Officially, China's Communist Party is abbreviated CPC. But the West knows it as CCP. As my audience is mostly in the West, I used CCP during my video. I thought long whether to use CCP or CPC, and decided that CCP sounds more familiar to non-Chinese audience. There is zero anti- or pro-China intention on my part in choosing the CCP acronym to make the video. I do appreciate in China, CPC is the most often used abbreviation.

    • @MsRapislife

      Fair enough. As a Chinese living in China, I totally agree that China couldn't have been where it is without CPC, which I think, a great majority of Chinese people would love to agree. Our country has come a long hard way since the opium war. We'll survive, prosper and proceed rain or shine.

      1. Foreign social media companies easily allow Chinese to sell by using their local China account or otherwise a Chinese can apply for a company through HK get a banknumber 10,000-15,000 rmb and voila he/she can advertise
      2. NO foreigner can advertise straight from their beds in the West on platforms like WeChat, they need to setup shop in China and use a Chinese business license and bank and of course a 3th party.
      3. Imagine you are Chinese get a gmail account and spout whatever you want on RUclips by using a VPN and tell the world how great or bad you are.
      4. But if you MR Coppens want to say what you want on Weibo.com tell your audience what you need to upload. So can a foreigner do that from their beds ? 😊
      Another great topic to go deeper into not sure if you live that long in China. Tell your audience about Chinese manipulating Amazon, zombie accounts, fake reviews, faking ID, running new applications through Ireland , get KYC done and go again
      Someone in this Channel mentioned it doesn’t matter white or a black cat as long as he catches the mouse. The issue is with having 1,4 billion Chinese and a few Westerners , they are damn right to protect themselves, before you know our own rivers will be empty, no more fish to eat !!!

      Right now, China is off balance, with too much capitalism, and the Chinese government needs to crackdown on tech and IPO, in order to reign in Chinese companies that strayed too far. In China, the Chinese government controls the state-owned companies for China's benefit. Whereas in the USA, the rich US corporations control the US government for war and profit, waging wars in the Middle East in order to control the oil for example.

      About Communism vs Capitalism, it's no secret today that *capitalism is killing the planet.* Capitalism is the overproduction of goods for the sake of profits, unnecessarily polluting the Earth in the process, with the eventual goal being the complete depletion of the Earth's resources. Because our modern industries are just too efficient, we can literally produce enough food, goods, houses, schools, hospitals, etc for everyone on the Earth. Yet despite this, we still have starving people in the world, homeless people, illiteracy, people lacking access to healthcare, etc. Because under the capitalist system, the goods go to those who can afford it.
      Communism is the belief that every resource should be allocated to the people *according to needs.* The Earth's resources are finite, and capitalism only seeks to exhaust the Earth's resources in pursuit of profit, whereas communism is committed to the idea of distributing resources according to needs. Sure, it's not a perfect system but it seems preferable to capitalism, which is overproduction for the sake of profits. What's the point of hoarding profit? When we all eventually die, can capitalists take their profits into the afterlife? No.

I've seen so many beautiful resettlement towns and villages built to move people out of deep mountains and hazardous terrains, free housing and free schooling for the ethnic minorities, costly roads and infrastructure in very sparsely populated and remote areas that only benefit very few people.

    Pascal, I think meritocracy is something that is difficult for western society to understand and practically implement. Just my observation, political parties have effectively outsourced merit to govt agencies/bureaucracies. The western political party puts itself first (perverse), focuses on secures funding to pay for campaigns, lobbies media for supportive narratives and sometimes drums up fear of the common people to win votes. This is where the issue of corruption (lobbying), popularity vs ability, corporate and media overreach into national interest starts to affect western society. I think it also breeds the extreme division between left and right we see today. And we wonder why the common citizen feels disenfranchised from this process? We vote, usually only between 2 parties and see little progress. Its starting to look like a sad state of affairs, perhaps we need to look for external threats to distract the common citizen from our domestic problems.

We have 11 million citizens and 9 ministers of health, yet could not manage the pandemic a year ago at start, because too many voices and only one health minister had a medical background. Despite ample examples, it is hard for many in West to believe that meritocracy can actually be more effective and inclusive than our democracy. The debate is going to be tough.

    People elect officials at the local level. These officials in turn elect officials at the next level of government above them and so on all the way to the top where the Politburo elects the national leader.
    This is very similar to representative democracy in the West where people elect officials who vote on their behalf. Of course, in China, the hierarchy is much deeper but the idea is much the same.
    The idea that you can only have democracy within a multi-party system is utter nonsense. A political party is never given the opportunity to learn and adapt, to grow. At each general election, the baby may be thrown out with the bathwater.
    The Chinese regard this as idiotic, and it truly is.
    The CPC learns and adapts. It learned from Mao's failures. It learned from Tiananmen Square. And it's learning today from US attempts to contain China. This is how Chinese governments achieve longevity.

    Small correction, the nationalists weren't the one losing against western powers. It started a revolution that ended Qing Dynasty which was losing against western powers.
    The nationalists' main opponents were the warlords, then the Japanese empire, and later the CCP. It lost against the last one.

    • @PascalCoppens
      @PascalCoppens  3 года назад +1

      Tom, You are absolutely right. I should have better said foreign power - which was primarily Japanese. The Americans supported Chiang Kai-Shek in Manchuria, but when I said weakened by Western powers, I actually wanted to refer to the fact that Marshall requested that the Nationalists call off their offensive in Manchuria in 1946, or risk losing American support. If he would not have done that, history would have looked very different as Communist Party would likely have been defeated back then. When I said weakened, I actually meant that he did not stand up against the request from America back then. But the Japanese invasion and warlords of course truly weakened the KMT and its army. So you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Being a Chinese I have a real problem with the CPC still sticking to the their name, calling themselves communists, and talking about Marxism, even though this has nothing to do with reality any more. It just feels like a blatant lie to me. I guess they could have easily changed the party name to 'the Socialist Party of China', which seems to make more sense to me given the party regards China as a socialist country with Chinese characteristics. Given how negatively the west perceives China, especially communism, it also makes sense for CPC to change its name to socialist. Small change, but makes a lot of sense.

      That would make sense from a PR perspective towards the world, but will not happen. I am also not sure it would alter the attitude of the West to China at this stage. CPC is part of their roots and their existence because of their struggle to get where China is now. Its like asking America not to use the word liberal anymore as it helps China to accuse American of double standards.

      They are in fact shamelessly taking away the right to vote by putting up hurdles for certain type of people whom they perceive as not worthy to vote. Look at the new voting restrictions they are putting into states like Georgia.
      That's not democracy. That's what "discrimination-cracy" looks like. It shouldn't be tolerated in this 21st century. Their plots and thinking is based on dark and outdated medieval periods of hierarchical structures. With such backward psyche, they are setting themselves up for disappointment.

If you want to see how China will become, look to where Singapore is right now. Drawback? Less freedom of speech (More like no freedom of speech if you're criticizing the gov). If gov is corrupt, its the end, but the trade off is things move fast.
