Why should they integrate and open up?? Isnt sovereignty a thing still?? Europeans who colonzied most fo planet after losing there conlonies say sovereignty is permitted meaning let a governing body do what they want and however wau they choose to govern themselves. Isnt that there sovereign right to be less open ,less globalized and less integrated. You obviously should just leave them alone they want to be left alone because of European hypocrisy and hatred
Everyone has an opinion on China. The problem is can you really describe China in a speech, a book. Having traveled here since 1993 and living here for 16 years (with zero expat friends), I still am learning and realizing how little I know. PS. my putonghua (Mandarin) is native.
People say that China copies everyone's technology. OK, I agree, but I want to add some more words, these are - "Nobody can copy Chinese technology. If anyone could then he would do business like China and he could compete China." So think about the difference.
That is not true, american , eruopean give all the science and technology to chins when they have leadership as business man and chins as cheap labor run the job and learn and cop it , by system of capitalism

China has been misunderstood by West and the rise in such short span of time does deepen the misunderstanding. While China has been embracing and learn from the West, we should see why the west could not change their wrong perception towards this peace loving peoples...
The West is making the same mistake China made back in the late Qing Dynasty. Believing it’s the greatest and denying others could ever overtake them economically, technologically, etc.
To be honest, some parts of his speech are filled with misconceptions and blunt stereotypes. However, in my humble opinion, the fact that he was invited to a TEDtalk to discuss about China in front of other people unaware of what China represents today makes me... worried at best.
In the succeeding generation, the American Western culture and Chinese Eastern culture ( the two cultures ) will influence our life. In Southeast Asia, in general is felt strongly. Are we prepared to this bi-lingual challenge? The bi-culture challenge ?
Like many other Chinese, I spent 11 years in UK & USA during the 1980s learning your culture & knowledge, you are welcome to know a little about China 🇨🇳
Eddie, the world population is influenced by these two cultures, principally technology and language. As transportation and communication are affordable, evolution of new culture will result. Call it Sinomerican population.......hehe
Your session is very refreshing..if most..just most of the American Foreigh Politicians think like you, I don't think the Chinese have reasons to build more battle ships or weapons. Perhaps, there is hope yet, despites what's happening at the moment. We all know that the Chinese don't like to colonize other people. Their record showed . The only thing we have to fear is fear ltself.
Gei Xiong : The Chinese don't like to colonise people ??? I think the Tibetans will give you an argument on that point. The Chinese are also aggressively expanding into the South China on the same specious grounds that it belongs to China. All the countries surrounding the South China are extremely worried about Chinese expansion. The Vietenamese have been warring with China for around 2000 years for the same reason. As China grows in power, it willcontinue to expand. The best thing the West can do is to make common cause with India which is a democracy and a rising power.
History needs to be continued, the only civilization in the world without a date is China, please let me give you a brief example, can you read or write ancient European documents? While Chinese people can read or write historical documents thousands of years ago, and language, phonetic characters can't last very long, it will change slowly depending on what people are using at the time, but Chinese people use ideograms so that their language and characters can be read or read for thousands of years, if you need evidence, please feel free to google, hopefully to help you with your question.
Even though Chinese people don't speak the same language, the writing hasn't changed for thousands of years. Chinese people can read and write documents from thousands of years ago. That's a fact.
Learn the differences between authoritarian communism and western democracy that is what you need to learn and then decide for yourself what China is all about - domination and control. I don't need to know any more!
Go back to your high school to learn some history and geography, kid, you sound like you were born yesterday and all you heard is news from BBC, CNN or Fox news. And what´s more, have you been to China or lived there for a while? Mind your business before judging another country.
@k jason well, same with China we have regional dialects and culturally diverse in region but was assimilated all in one during the Han Dynasty 2200 years ago and foreign rulers also assimilated by China so Han Chinese never went away and expansion began by those foreign rulers helped China gaining more land and territories, India never got unified under Indian rule but was achieved under Foreign powers, Mughal Empire was the closest one to a unified indo Pacific regional superpower but was taken over by the east india trading Company... I guess we know how all that went.

Mean while, some schools and universities are closing down the Confuscius institutes. They are afraid. Afraid of China rising.
Warren Mundell
They are afraid of china's spying. Just like the Australian Universities have been spied on.
Yes they are afraid, i have absolutely no doubt about it. But its not exactly the rise of china as a nation but its scale and intentions are.

English class is a must for Chinese students at school. So Chinese has more chances to learn from the world.
So is vice versa
it goes two ways really because chinese has a third of the world population. both languages will cover the world
China's history more than 5000 years.!!! God bless you & U.S.A. !!!
Thank you willing to learn more about China and being open minded.
Richard Stamps,December 31, 2022. Looking back on your prediction, it is very impressive.
The speaker has very good points. Hold a conversation with the oversea Chinese people to let them open up & integrate.
Why should they integrate and open up?? Isnt sovereignty a thing still?? Europeans who colonzied most fo planet after losing there conlonies say sovereignty is permitted meaning let a governing body do what they want and however wau they choose to govern themselves. Isnt that there sovereign right to be less open ,less globalized and less integrated. You obviously should just leave them alone they want to be left alone because of European hypocrisy and hatred

I am glad you can speak the local dialect. Congrats!

Let's be honest, everybody copies everybodies. Even the greatest inventors steal, regardless of races.
Well if you say copying, China is the one who invented gunpowder

Learning Chinese can help appreciate China; Chinese is a superior language.
哈哈哈、你说的对！！
I learned something from Professor Richard Stamps, and I am proud of it. He must be a good teacher.
China has been misunderstood by West and the rise in such short span of time does deepen the misunderstanding.
While China has been embracing and learn from the West, we should see why the west could not change their wrong perception towards this peace loving peoples...
yeah they love peace so much that when demonstrators get out of line, they run over them with tanks - instant "peace"
The West is making the same mistake China made back in the late Qing Dynasty. Believing it’s the greatest and denying others could ever overtake them economically, technologically, etc.
Not 3000 but more than 5000 years of history
3000 for writing
Low C C He said minimally 3000 years. He is an archaeologist.
Yeah, recorded history is 3k
Like Persian Empir or their new name iranian they were suppr power, and trump do not know how to talk to them also had silk road from china to persia,
More then 10,000 years since Huang Ti, history do not confined to writing only.

This makes me emotional :-)

Always, always RUclips cuts me off in the middle of a presentation.
If only Chinese language wouldn't be so difficult!
Great insights; thanks for sharing!
5000year history before u born .
I don't understand why there's an audience of 500 people and no Chinese people there to raise their hand up?
👍👍👍
Many opinions yet one truth
How about telling the Chinese how to peel the skin off a featherless White chicken?
Ha ha ha!
5:40 wrong, also in europe we have 3 thousands years of history almost. US has short history, because the natives have been exterminated

India is much older than China.
