PROF. KEYU JIN, I ADMIRE N RESPECT U WISDOM. BRAVO TO U. FROM A HALF CHINESE FILIPINO. I RECEIVED CHINESE EDUCATION IN SCHINESE SCHOOLS IN MANILA. I ALSO STUDIED CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. N HAVE BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR HERE.
She is not only very intelligent, she presented her views n fact so clearly n straight forwardly that any viewers could understand. No beating around the bush, just staight honest truth. Love her!! ❤
She's not a native English speaker though. It's just that she speaks perfect English in an extremely articulate way. Being a native English speaker does not necessarily mean speaking articulately and intelligently.
Thank you fore your educational lecture on the reality of the tiananmen square protests the other week it was very helpful in knowing just how the ccp treat their people.
I would like to suggest otherwise. No, it is the Western Countries that need more Chinese speaking people in order to conduct a proper communication. China has, for over a century, been producing enough of good English experts since the early Kowmingtang government.
My ears are blessed to hear from kayu Jin. I always feel I am in a very big universal library reading different types of books when I hear from Keyu Jin. I wish the interview would never be finished with Keyu Jin. God blessing you Ma,m.
Any of the questions thrown at her could very easily lead down to common Western media talking points and it's amazing watching her defusing them one by one. I've also noticed the host slowing down mid-sentence several times changing his wording to avoid sounding judgemental, great display of respect and professionalism.
she's just a ccp mouthpiece who speaks good English and knows how to use modern vocabulary. There's nothing new in a totalitarian system and it will only implode. Maybe there's one thing new btw, in a globalized world, a dictatorship has managed to woven itself into the modern world, so we need a chemo therapy to get it out, that's' it.
i am age 72 and was following US USSR AND China Politics since the Cuban missile crises also Vietnam US War. i appreciate her speaking about poverty pre 1980s yhat i followed because I was living in Canada since 1974 and Saw all the negatives but also facts on US Media. if US has 1.4 billions like China how would compare Their current per Capita growth to China now???😅😂
well, ppl like her who emigrated exists, one who can speak both languages. myself included. we're really trying to build bridges here haha, it's a tough job, but it's worth doing :)
Yeah absolutely. And I can assure you that though I don't think her narrative about the ageing problem is right, the other parts of her speech are neutral and fit my past 22 years of experiences in China. Great Job. Sadly, it's often quite hard for Chinese to see RUclips videos or meet foreigners. I guess your proposal is easier.
As a Westerner who lived in China, I found this very interesting and am most impressed with Jin Keyu, she has good insights into modern-day China. The interviewer however seemed to continuously focus on the negatives, so we didn't get to hear some of the positives of China that we can all learn from. Very typical of a Westerner, I'm afraid. World Bank numbers show the percentage of China's GDP associated with manufacturing value-added at 27%, which is at odds with her statement that China is still primarily a manufacturing-based economy. I wish the interviewer knew enough to question her on this.
@@metalmanexetreme Agreed, but when the entire focus of the interview and almost all interviews concerning China are negative, it leaves one with a confused view as to what is actually happening. One would never know that China has contributed more economic growth than the entirety of the G7 over the past 10 years for example or that China took more people out of poverty in its recent rise than happened in the entirety of the European industrial revolution. These matter, but the West is ignorant of these things because they choose to be.
Not to mention, her dad was a former PRC vice minister of finance and the current head of the Communist-controlled AIIB, so we know she is totally objective.
I watched this interview. As a native Chinese myself I don't think west hugely misunderstanding China(biased in some aspect maybe). In my opinion, what Miss.Jin trying to do here is just trying to rationalizing CCP's policy decisions, nothing new or different from those Wolf warrior diplomatists, only she is more gentle and sweet-soft.
I thought it’s to find the rationale of the policy decisions. Chinese central governors are mostly very experienced before they can be in that position as far as I understand, there must be reasons behind the policies. Any actions not crazy have reasons behind them, understanding the motives is important, no?
Tbf to her, Ma Spoke against CCP policy and look what happened to him, not that I believe it is honorable to bow to tyrants but it is wise to purse the lips to controversy when on the world stage.
this has been one of the best ways to present china to western eyes I've seen in a long time. Well done to Keyu Yin, with voices like her there's some hope that nuance and reason can prevail in an increasingly crazier world.
I'm sorry but nuance and the vote engineering system, or the present day western democracy, which keeps the neo-libs/cons in power do not mix. The Military-Industrial-Media complex would not want to propagate it since it makes them no money to be nuanced in their stance.

“Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?” Carter asked. “None. And we have stayed at war.” He said the US has only enjoyed 16 years of peace in its 242-year history, making the country “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” Carter said. This is, he said, because of Washington’s tendency to force other nations to “adopt our American principles.”
@@aly8848: The US did not and will not deny she has fought many wars. The goal of any war is to save a party at the expense of the other party. If we only saw and hear the complaint from the defeated party, the US is always the bad guy. If we saw things from the victorious party, the US could be a good guy. For example, the Pacific war between the US and Japan in the 1941s, Japan was defeated by atomic bombs and the US was the bad guy. On the other hand, if we hear from the victorious US and China, the US was the good guy. Especially in the eyes of the Chinese, the US became their saviour from heaven, 天上掉下來的救星，出手打抱不平的英雄·好漢。
@@水水淼淼 : Exactly, the US can only continue to wage war to solve problems. As soon as any problem appears, the US will wage war to solve it. The world is very grateful to the US, especially China was grateful when she was being attacked by Japan in the 1940s. At that time, China even went to the US to beg the US to wage war. And the US obliged.
my take is that she is of the generation which has experienced hardship and also reap the rewards of China fast growth. Her views reflect some of the older generation and also the new generation. Most western citizens probably has not experienced these mix, so would not understand the Chinese mentality.
Not to mention, her dad was a former PRC vice minister of finance and the current head of the Communist-controlled AIIB, so we know she is totally objective.
@@hermanhsu5994 China, and the CCP are NOT the same. China, is a country with a rich history, and vibrant and wonderful people. The CCP is an evil dictatorship, rotten to the core with corruption, that commits heinous human right atrocities, suppresses free thought, brainwashed its population, and itself views the Chinese people it rules as mere numbers. Keyu Jin is CCP aligned, and though she is very charismatic and eloquent, she is little more than a mouthpiece.
It felt like I was in a time machine back to 2019, pre-Covid, pre-Russian invasion, pre-spy balloon, pre-property market crash, etc. Alot has changed in the past 4 years that cannot be ignored, even though that is exactly what Keyu Jin did with lots of cooperation by the interviewer. We are now living in a different world with different expectations that cannot be undone. Get real, get now, baby!
This was my thought also. And let's not forget the multiple natural disasters, typhoons, massive flooding, earthquakes, tornadoes, snow in the summertime, mass crop destruction due to intentional flooding of farmland, freakish building explosions, collapsing bridges, subways, and highrises, sinkholes that open up and swallow vehcles on the roadways and pedestrians on the sidewalks, widespread soil subsidence, and tofu dregs building construction that doesn't last 10 years let alone the 30 years for which the buildings were designed. China's infrastructure cannot sustain its pipe dream economy.
Did she even mention how aggressive Chinese vessels are in south China Sea, bullying Philippine coast guards and even other neighbouring country? Is she really speaking the truth? Is she really transparent about the true China/Chinese? 🤔 #Greed&PowerCombined good luck with the world
One thing I don’t get is people always say US is so rich but if they are so rich then Why I see so many homeless people living on the street in US and why are people saying most Americans are living on pay check to pay check and why are most Americans have no savings and in deep credit card debt meanwhile most Chinese have savings and they don’t have credit card debt like the west thus please define rich again?
because the US have the highest GDP. They don't consider that the cost of living is the highest there also so every price or cost is inflated to catche up with the COL. Another thing is the top 1% wealthiest people (about 1 million)in the US have more wealth collectively than the 291 million that make up the bottom 90%. So computing for the real GDP that would make more sense would have two values, one for the transactions made by the 1% (should be a lot higher than the official GDP) and one for the bottom 90% majority which would result to a very very low GDP.
When a person is arrogant,he thinks that he can easily take down the opponent without any logic thinking. And even worst when he realizes that he can't take the opponent down and becoming desperate complaining how wrong the opponent is with all the excuses to cover up himself.
@@bosmosis cspang4061 exemplified the action of US versus China, i.e., He = USA and "the opponent" = China... ok? Let me know if you still want me to explain further.
@marylaistirland, Professor Keyu Jin claims that the West has some misunderstandings of communist China and got communist China wrong. Can you list for me what the West got wrong about communist China?
💯🌹to Prof. Keyu Jin.. Very knowledgeable and highly educated lady 👏.. I like her ways of nonbias about the Chinese government's systems .. A great asset to China 🇨🇳👍..
How is this completely western educated/brainwashed person an asset to China? She is earning her pay telling the west myths and fantasies that the west wants to hear.
Oh, ye, sure. They all should learn Mao's Public Private Combination Management Policy which is similar like Mugabe's land garbing from white owners ... more and more The great leap, Anti Rightists, The Cultural xxx in 1966 for 10 years. Shi Jin Pin thoughts is another important one to learn too rather than Google Map or Chat CCPT ...
An awesome conversation.. I got lot of new insight s about China. Hailing from a small state of India in the southern most coast KERALA, I have seen how many of my friend s in business of Furniture, LED, s and Fancy fittings and toys made millions between 2000-2015 by investing their capital with Made in China products... Now I got a glimpse of its organization culture and their vision..
The hardships that Ms. Jin described in the 1980s (even going back to 1949 after the CCP seized power) were all caused by the disastrous policies and measures of the CCP, nobody else to blame. The West is not "getting China wrong". On the contrary, Western countries are now closer to recognizing the true colors of the CCP than at any time in their history. The so-called "misunderstandings" are becoming less and less, not more: this greatly benefit the West. The only concern of the CCP, especially their tiny elite, is their political power, not anything else. The Western value system and political system are an existential threat to the CCP, so there is no so-called "mutually beneficial middle ground" between the CCP and the West, and only one side can exist in the future. No matter how Ms. Jin sugarcoats it, it can't cover up this cruel situation. In fact, the CCP's elite know it well.
Many good points there. The question should be "Is China getting the West wrong?" It is obvious after the pandemic that it is not wise to put all your eggs in one basket.
@@wingkeungkong415 no more bullshit about great Chinese civilization. Who was the culprit that totally tore down Chinese culture in the past 70 years with all the precious treasures destroyed and tens of thousands intellectuals purged and tortured to deaths.
@@wingkeungkong415 No, the goal of the CCP is the continuing rule of the ruling class, at the expense of the people of China, and of the people of the world if necessary. They want the entire world to kowtow at the feat of the Chinese emperor, and this is a vision that is incompatible with a global human civilisation.
She speaks quite openly about the present young graduates of China. Train them into industrial requirements not all of them are creative thinkers and entrepreneurs.
Isn't that normal throughout the globe? How many are creative or entrepreneurial? Looking at the creative and entrepreneurial results of China industry, don't you think overall, Chinese are a lot more creative and entrepreneurial then any other nations in the world?
Jin was born in Beijing, China. Her father, Jin Liqun, is an economist and politician who previously served as the vice minister of finance of China and is the current president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
Just because the Chinese government changed after protests by the young, does not mean there is a system in China to allow changes. Similarly, just because black people protested against police shooting and caused charges to the officers, it does not mean the US system worked to address the problems. If the system worked, people did not have to protest.
this is extremely interesting. I thank yall for this video. It is incredibly eye opeing for many and no matter how much you know or think you know about china.
The “private tuition” situation is not exclusive to China. It is a cultural issue as it is the same in Singapore, Malaysia etc within their Chinese communities. It has its place but in general just like any system it’s been abused and become counter productive. Their evolution into a whole process democracy has not been understood by our western centric mainstream media. Case in point the lack of basic understanding of Gideon was very apparent during this dialogue. That said a big shout-out to Gideon for this attempt to bridge the gaps and hopefully promote understanding void of inherent biases. In order to create the right catalyst towards win-win synergy, fabricated smearing propaganda has to be eliminated for the sake of everyone.
@@stevencrook3979 I used to be a private tutor and I don't see the phenomena as a "weakness" or a "strength". Everyone's pace of learning is different, that's why private tuitions exist in the first place. However, most Asian (not limited to Chinese) parents send their kids to private tuitions for other reasons like soothing their own anxiety--for fear that their kids won't be competitive enough. These parents feel compelled to "do more" for their kids and thus the actual intention of tuition is lost. I remember the time when I hated having tuitions as a student and told my parents that it was a waste of money. Ironically, my grades improved after I stopped going to tuitions. 😂
Wow, an amazing conversation with Keyu Jin. She has certainly given me food for thought regarding the way that I used to look at and try to understand China and Chinese thinking.
Not to mention, her dad was a former PRC vice minister of finance and the current head of the Communist-controlled AIIB, so we know she is totally objective.
She is a paid propagandist of the Communist Party of China. She has practiced and honed her arguments. So when thinking about what she said, keep it in mind that she is presenting an argument which presents the good sides of the CPC and down play/minimize the negative aspects of the CPC rule and relationship.

That's idiotic, how can Jin possibly gain "deep knowledge of China"? A spoiled brat of a CCP crony family, she's left China since age 14 and enjoyed a privileged life ever since in NYC top private Ivy prep school, Harvard, and LSE in London. How could she really understand the Chinese grassroots or traditional culture?
you make it sound as though "communism" is synonymous to evil, or that "Islam" is synonymous to terror/terrorist....whilst you conveniently forgot that both capitalism and christianity is the symbol of truth and benevolence. It's not the ideology, it is the outcome, the results for the greater good, just look at U$, the wealthiest nation, technically has the most trillionaires, but look at ordinary amarikans, rising homelessness, sky rocketing inflation, rents, tent cities, crumbling infra, NYC subway infamously smells like piss pot not to mention Kensington Avenue, a drug land. You implied that just because her father is a member of CPC and runs the AIIB, is questionable source, yet you have Biden the (aka the Big Guy) president and son Hunter have been taking bribe money, which is well documented, you have Trump a failed businessmen, a groper, heck you have the entire U$ administration with questionable record. @@sumanadasawijayapala5372
I moved to North America in 90s from China. I was a doctor working in a general hospital before then. Comparing to North American education system, China’s colleges and universities are more focus in academic achievement instead of hands on skills. We have BCIT in Canada where many Chinese immigrants and their children learn how to fix cars and build houses and fit into the society very well. This kind of institutes are not popular in China. There’s a mentality in mainland Chinese community that people with higher degree would get better job better name and therefore more respectful. That might mislead some Chinese to choose a wrong college at the beginning. Even moving to overseas some Chinese people are still struggling if they should get a MA PhD or just a diploma from a college with practical skills. I would say the concept of social status and values are part of their obstacle for their choices.
I think in my view hands-on and practicalities is hands-on after graduation. it is not learnt at Universities. More hands-on is learnt in technical colleges
then, why are so many Chinese, and families coming to the US, buying houses, and sending their kids to private schools? from where I live, the numbers are growing recently, those, of course, could afford to come here. those who don't come here, because they could not afford it, most likely still love to come.
Rachman, pls look at western survey that over 90% of the people in China approve of their government and look at the % of US and most European, specially UK survey and I believe at best you get only 40% so is there any question?
LOL ....there's also a 100% percent approval rating in North Korea too. Gosh, maybe we should change our ways in the west to emulate North Korea 🤣🤣 You don't sound very bright. Or perhaps you are unfamiliar with how exactly authoritarian regimes work. Educate yourself.
@@fs5775 Actually you should educate yourself for not accepting a simple fact. You don't sound very bright. You are a topnotch racist, though. Yes, I say racist because that's basically what it's all about. According to a global survey on the trust level on various aspects, about 89 percent of the Chinese respondents trusted the government to do what is right in 2022, listed in the first place among 28 surveyed countries.Jan 17, 2023
@FS, don’t be rude,the West are suffering and struggle with their daily lives and yet they have no shame to dictate how China should run their country. 🤣🤣🤣
Is not only people in China that is not inspired when they looked outside China with all the riots and police shooting and homelessness in the West, we too here in the West are also not inspired.
Each place has their own major problems. Police shootings are actually quite rare in America. The idea China is free from similar level problems is just silly

Huh? You mean crime doesn't occur in China? There's no corruption? That people aren't imprisoned for their beliefs? ...and become involuntary organ donors?
Too many softball questions. How about the impact of Xi's aggressive Wolf Warrior Diplomacy, with no justification enforced their claim to almost the whole South China Sea, oppressing all the other countries? No mention of what has caused almost all of China's close and far neighbors to form military alliances against it: from Japan, India, south Korea, Philippines, Vietnam Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, even far off Australia, Now even NATO is doing FONs in the SCS. The UN Tribunal at UNCLOS has ruled against their land grabs in the SCS but China has doubled down. These are the most presing issues that have caused almost all their neighbors to be against China, Not good at all. This Chinese economist paints China to be a Saint! She's a shill and agent for China embedded in the West. Wake up people. The West is always bad and China is always good. Propaganda!
I think it would be a good idea if similar interview could be arranged whereby the interviewee is the one explaining the situations in America to the Chinese audience. That will bring in greater understanding between the East and the West.
@26:04 Trump seriously?. You’re telling me one man has the power to. change the sentiments of hundreds of millions of people. @26:22 then blames it on the west as a whole. I thought this was going to be a non-biased interview.
I must remind you that only Chinese experts participate in English conversations in fluent English, but no American experts participate in Chinese conversations in fluent Chinese. The understanding of China by the United States and China‘s understanding of the United States are extremely asymmetric.
@neprobert138 The Japanese know the Chinese much much more than the Chinese know about themselves. And the Japanese are actually the true bearer of the genuine Chinese cultural tradition from the Tang Dynasty. Not the Communist rascals.

@tristanx3508 seeing the perpetrators was BYD & they weren't the only ones and this "trick" was used in both public bike sharing and electric scooter industries, I very much doubt the ccp stopped anything. As for you question about the west stopping, yes our systems would have prevented it. Companies knows this so they don't try it in the first place, not to mention the public wouldn't let it happen either.
@tristanx3508 while your talking about swift action, is Xi still going to honour his "no limit" friendship for putin. Will Xi come to putin's rescue?? If no he has condemned his best friend!
Because it's what is. She has no better solution than the Chinese government. She's very intelligent all right but a lot of people in the government are miles higher than her in intelligence and experiences.
Well spoken woman !!! U have shown what a well educated & how articulate a Chinese Can b. U have shown & put many of the so call educated Indian that demonise china to shame. Shame on them. Shame , shame shame on them🎉 Educated !!!!! Really.. well done Professor .keyu u have done the Chinese proud.😊 Your ancestors & the phoenixes r proud of u.
As articulated as she was, she didn't have a theory. It's just two friends chatting and having a good time, but it wouldn't help closing the great chasm between Western perception of China and what's going on on the ground.
I see what you mean. For me, as a Chinese American, even seeing these two have a civil and open dialogue, feels healing and in the right direction. Of course, there needs to be more constructive action (and very soon, at that) when it comes to economic and security issues, but for Americans who value social dynamics and connectivity across differences, I feel this talk does in fact serve as bridging the divide. Being able to talk and listen as humans is the first step in finding a way forward.
It's sad that with the eloquence and articulation, she is not saying much more than what most netizens already know. Did she address the subject, what is the West getting wrong about China? Two acquaintances chit-chatting. They cover many aspects on which only the surface was scratched.
Thank you for your educational lecture on the reality of the tiananmen square protests the other week it was very helpful in knowing just how the ccp treat their people.
Do you really expect detailed information in every aspect mentioned in the 45 minutes program? Actually I do agree with her in one particular thing, the unemployment of young graduates. I remember the rate was something like 24%? She pointed out the problem is not what outsiders of China thought, that the Chinese manufactory is shrinking , it is the mismatch between the job vacancies in the market and the skills the young graduates have. And I agree with her that this probably is one of the issues that deserves high priority for China government to deal with.
@@rsyrsy8543 the current Chinese unemployment and economic big problem is not merely a matter of education skill mismatch. Much more than that. And I assure you, only if one continues to take her communist hat or camouflage on, she will never be a real serious economist or historian.
Come on, she is saying things like: chinese studants are not impressed what they see in democratic sountries, or in Hongkong. She is a CCP mouth piece, a smart one, a nice one. Sure. Still, Xi's mouth.
Very very impressive!! She is not only smart but also non-biased with deep understanding of the global dynamics in all aspects. Amazing scholar!! Wish we could have more of this among our younger generations.👏👍🙏
She is speaking the party line to answer every question. I could guess every answer she gave because I've heard it from official Chinese mouthpieces before. That said, there is value in hearing what the Chinese government has to say to understand and predict behavior. Also, of course, the Chinese perspective has valid points.
CCP loves to corrupt academics to parrot their party tropes, which basically equate to Han racial supremacy and human rights are a threat to CCP rule. Why is an economist taking politics and geostrategic planning anyway.
I have visited there dozens of times in the last 3 decades. She is telling the facts. So anything that differs from your own opinions or MSMs reports must be party propagandas? That's absurd.
While pushing the same CCP talking points, Jin's speech feels more palatable b/c she is able to use cunning English rhetoric wrapped under a thick veneer of economist's jargon.
From reading the comments before listing to the interview, I was hoping for some insight into what the West gets wrong about China. Most of the comments were how unbiased the interview was , but I didn't see that at all. The questions were softball questions that shed zero light on why the West sees China as a "formidable and emerging power on the world stage, the China that most Westerners think they know is an intimidating, authoritarian nation which plans to take over the world." Except for the very last question of the interview when he finally asked a tough one. The information she gave I'm sure is very accurate, but most of it in a simplified form is known by Westerners already. Yes, we know about the shrinking population, the unemployment rate problems of college graduates, the push to increase the population, etc. All of this can be found on even the weakest news sites in the US, which is how I know. Where were the tough questions regarding China's own racism problems, "bullying" of its neighbors, spying, industrial espionage and many others? What does the Chinese government really want? Frankly, I was very impressed with her knowledge of economics which is understandable given her pedigree. She is clearly liberal by American standards, but I not overly so. However, she comes across as one of many Chinese nationals that I have conversations with that spout the same old things about China just wanting to compete fairly without confrontation. Well, good luck with that. The reality for anyone who understands human nature and human history knows that it is inevitable that a superpower will start pushing people around, taking more than their share, try to dominate, hoard resources, etc. I can't think of any empire in history that hasn't done it including any in the West. China will be no different. Lastly, although Ms Jin sounds very learned in economics, she seems woefully inadequate in the geopolitics arena sounding like a child who thinks everything is rosy and all will be fine if we can just get along. News flash to Keyu, but man has NEVER gotten along. As a species, we haven't reached that level of enlightenment yet. China and the West have one thing in common, biology and that is it. Just about everything else, we are at odds with and that is hard to overcome. Oh, and Keyu Jin should really consider working on the tourism board for the CCP. I have no doubt that they appreciate her efforts on their behalf. Next time, let me conduct the interview.
Where were the tough questions regarding China's own racism problems, "bullying" of its neighbors, spying, industrial espionage and many others? What does the Chinese government really want? She is an economist, well known and respected in the world of economics apparently. You already have the answers to those questions anyway, the Chinese aren't going to change your mind.
@@Realist-sh3dg I don't want Chinese apologists to change my mind. I would like someone without a horse in the race to give me insight into what we are getting wrong about China. Not some CCP mouthpiece.
If you're still discussing on this topic after so many years, only prove that something is really wrong all along. However, I strongly believe denial will continue to persist over truth. Making excuses and convincing people is also a big business. 😂
Ok, I think the west is not misunderstanding China . May be in the past, but now West and China have come to see the true colors of each other. Articulate as it is , the conversation could have gone deeper.
I came here to learn something about China that I didn't yet understand... instead it's a rehash of CCP talking points and avoidance of crucial context Beijing finds uncomfortable.
What do you expect? Miss Jin is simply doing her duty as the single child of one of the highest level government officials inside the CCP financing circle, defending the privileges of the red power families that they feel entitled to.
@@beautanner8409 How is Jim's professorship Beijing's penetration into your system? She is a free, independent person who's untitled to her own views and seek employment wherever she likes. She's not hiding her own family background.
I think she is very wrong about the aging causing the economic slowdown. It is a major headache and cause. China and Japan are also different when it comes to the aging issue. Japan has experienced a gradual aging problem over decades, whilst China has a much more sudden aging issue due to its 1 Child policy and 'femicide'. Secondly, Japan's wealth distribution is a lot more equal compared to China's. China is skewed so uneually that you could say there are 2 countries in China; east and west. Lastly, I do not think that she offers an unbiased perspective of China. I see her several times walking into Communist Party rhetoric.There is not a freedom of expression, so she cannot freely express her opinions as it is clear she still has roots in China.
China is a joke run by thugs It's GDP per capita is minuscule It is about to attack Taiwan Taiwan which started at the same state of development is 6/10 times richer and far more advanced technologically

everyone pursues happiness. you cannot be happy if you are not free. In China, you are not free as there is no democracy. no matter what your possessions are you will never be happy. the debate is not about power, it is about freedom and the human right to pursue happiness.
China is more free than us in western democracy. We change governments but all stays the same. In China the government fixes things and improves peoples lives at a rapid pace.
We do not live in the same country, in your country maybe there is no democracy in my country Canada there is. is not about fixing things and improving people's lives, it is about the freedom of the individual, unless you prefer not to have your freedom of choice and letting someone else to control your life. Those who exchange freedom for security do not deserve either freedom or security. If you want to be free you have to be brave and take care of your own life in your hands. @@Stonefeather53

When you compare the property market between Japan and China, you cannot ignore the control of the Chinese government on the "market price" of the property market. This include the government giving orders to set a minimum price for sellers. No other governments in the free world can do that. If you travel in China, you can see many "ghost towns" in many medium and small cities •••••••••blocks of new buildings sitting there with no or just a few occupants. This even occur in the outskirts of some big cities like Xian. This was my personal experience as early as 4 years ago when I travel to the north western provinces in China. Even in more prosperous cities around the so-called Greater Bay Area next to Hong Kong and Guangzhou, you can see the same phenomenon. I am sure you would not see this in Japan, a totally free commercial market, before the property bubble burst. My point is , the "market price" is not falling in the Chinese property market doesn't mean it is still healthy as professor Jin believes. It only means the bubble will be much bigger than that of Japan's when it burst. And the harm it brings might be in decades.
There were so-called "ghost towns" in Shanghai districts too.........now they are all full of people. China practises what is called transit-oriented development. First you build roads and subways etc. to "nowhere", then property developers build......and can't sell all the properties, but over time they start filling up and eventually you find that some of these ghost cities are now just regular cities. Also, people who have migrated to work and live in upper tier cities, will often also buy a house in their hometown, and those houses will lie empty until they retire(they don't put tenants in). Finally, what did Tristan3508 say???
@@Storm4155 Do not compare the country's biggest and most densely populated city with those small/medium size cities in central and north western China I am talking about. Even in the suburbs of big cities like Xian, if you have been there, you will know what a ghost town is really like. Even in Shanghai today, some districts which previously mainly rented to foreigners or non-Shanghai resident working in Shanghai, are now become ghost towns as well. You can find many youtube videos if you really want to know about the real situation. Don't just read what the CCP feeds you.
You can definitely tell how the west is getting China wrong from the comment section. Either the west media has done a great job or intelligent people simply don't voice out.
Speaking of reform, a consolidated power is essential for reform. For example, in US, reform is not possible due to its internal political structure. But in China, it can happen over night. In fact, the No.1 strength of Communist Party of China is adapting to challenges.
Thank you for your educational lecture on the reality of the tiananmen square protests the other week it was very helpful in knowing just how the ccp treat their people.
How can you say that after China was completely unable to move away from the one child policy even though the devastating consequences have been clear for decades now? That’s the opposite of decisive action and adapting to challenges. Challenges you yourself have created in the first place.
Interesting interview, but maybe not quite for the expected reasons. Ms Jin comes across less as an academic, but more as a journalist stitching headlines and personal views together. She has views on economics (fair enough), politics, software, demographics, the housing market, the education system… and it shows quite regularly by contradictions and inconsistencies… there is also a remarkable willingness to explain and excuse CCP action. Plenty of important issues receive no mention at all (Taiwan, city-rural divide, government sponsored industrial espionage…). I don‘t think I will put her book on my reading list.
PROF. KEYU JIN, I ADMIRE N RESPECT U WISDOM. BRAVO TO U. FROM A HALF CHINESE FILIPINO. I RECEIVED CHINESE EDUCATION IN SCHINESE SCHOOLS IN MANILA. I ALSO STUDIED CHEMICAL ENGINEERING. N HAVE BECOME AN ENTREPRENEUR HERE.

Keyu Jin is amazing! I truly wish she made her own RUclips channel. China needs native English speakers like her who can tell Chinas perspective well!
She's also a CCP shill ... probably like you. Hope you got your 50 cents, wumao
She's not a native English speaker though. It's just that she speaks perfect English in an extremely articulate way. Being a native English speaker does not necessarily mean speaking articulately and intelligently.

I would like to suggest otherwise. No, it is the Western Countries that need more Chinese speaking people in order to conduct a proper communication. China has, for over a century, been producing enough of good English experts since the early Kowmingtang government.

My ears are blessed to hear from kayu Jin. I always feel I am in a very big universal library reading different types of books when I hear from Keyu Jin. I wish the interview would never be finished with Keyu Jin. God blessing you Ma,m.
Any of the questions thrown at her could very easily lead down to common Western media talking points and it's amazing watching her defusing them one by one. I've also noticed the host slowing down mid-sentence several times changing his wording to avoid sounding judgemental, great display of respect and professionalism.
that's the point.
Looking at her family and background has everything to do with CCP. I don’t believe a word she is saying.
JIN is a lower version of the beheaded queen , she has not even the decency to give cake to the poor.
she's just a ccp mouthpiece who speaks good English and knows how to use modern vocabulary. There's nothing new in a totalitarian system and it will only implode. Maybe there's one thing new btw, in a globalized world, a dictatorship has managed to woven itself into the modern world, so we need a chemo therapy to get it out, that's' it.
When the Chinese people finally overthrow the CCP and are able to represent themselves in government, Keyu Kin will still be licking the CCP boot.
There's so much wisdom and clarity of thoughts when you listen to Prof Keyu Jin

Yeah absolutely. And I can assure you that though I don't think her narrative about the ageing problem is right, the other parts of her speech are neutral and fit my past 22 years of experiences in China. Great Job.

As a Westerner who lived in China, I found this very interesting and am most impressed with Jin Keyu, she has good insights into modern-day China. The interviewer however seemed to continuously focus on the negatives, so we didn't get to hear some of the positives of China that we can all learn from. Very typical of a Westerner, I'm afraid.
World Bank numbers show the percentage of China's GDP associated with manufacturing value-added at 27%, which is at odds with her statement that China is still primarily a manufacturing-based economy. I wish the interviewer knew enough to question her on this.
Painting rainbows leaves one skeptical, best to include rain with the sunshine if you wish to be fully considered.
@@metalmanexetreme Agreed, but when the entire focus of the interview and almost all interviews concerning China are negative, it leaves one with a confused view as to what is actually happening. One would never know that China has contributed more economic growth than the entirety of the G7 over the past 10 years for example or that China took more people out of poverty in its recent rise than happened in the entirety of the European industrial revolution. These matter, but the West is ignorant of these things because they choose to be.
Manufacturing percentage is lower in other developed western economies where the service sector is relatively more important.
What a remarkable woman; well spoken.
Not to mention, her dad was a former PRC vice minister of finance and the current head of the Communist-controlled AIIB, so we know she is totally objective.
I watched this interview. As a native Chinese myself I don't think west hugely misunderstanding China(biased in some aspect maybe). In my opinion, what Miss.Jin trying to do here is just trying to rationalizing CCP's policy decisions, nothing new or different from those Wolf warrior diplomatists, only she is more gentle and sweet-soft.
那个男主持也说了不是误解的问题了，是利益冲突了。我们还是需要有为中国发声的人，不要什么都扯到CCP,我就不相信西方真的很关切我们的民主自由，主要还是以这个为借口打压我们的发展，老美会眼睁睁的看着我们GDP超过他？美国那些政客虚伪的一塌糊涂，反中国就是政治正确
I thought it’s to find the rationale of the policy decisions. Chinese central governors are mostly very experienced before they can be in that position as far as I understand, there must be reasons behind the policies. Any actions not crazy have reasons behind them, understanding the motives is important, no?
Tbf to her, Ma Spoke against CCP policy and look what happened to him, not that I believe it is honorable to bow to tyrants but it is wise to purse the lips to controversy when on the world stage.
Jin is a more cunning CCP apologist, equivocating, an masterful rhetorician, all under the guise of a "renowned economist".
this has been one of the best ways to present china to western eyes I've seen in a long time. Well done to Keyu Yin, with voices like her there's some hope that nuance and reason can prevail in an increasingly crazier world.
I'm sorry but nuance and the vote engineering system, or the present day western democracy, which keeps the neo-libs/cons in power do not mix. The Military-Industrial-Media complex would not want to propagate it since it makes them no money to be nuanced in their stance.

“Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?” Carter asked. “None. And we have stayed at war.”
He said the US has only enjoyed 16 years of peace in its 242-year history, making the country “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” Carter said. This is, he said, because of Washington’s tendency to force other nations to “adopt our American principles.”

For example, the Pacific war between the US and Japan in the 1941s, Japan was defeated by atomic bombs and the US was the bad guy. On the other hand, if we hear from the victorious US and China, the US was the good guy. Especially in the eyes of the Chinese, the US became their saviour from heaven, 天上掉下來的救星，出手打抱不平的英雄·好漢。

And the US obliged.

Cos. 1% of d population holds 60% of d wealth. They don't hv a concept of common prosperity in society.
The top 1% held all the wealth....USA is a plutrocracy..govern by the rich for the rich..
because the US have the highest GDP. They don't consider that the cost of living is the highest there also so every price or cost is inflated to catche up with the COL. Another thing is the top 1% wealthiest people (about 1 million)in the US have more wealth collectively than the 291 million that make up the bottom 90%. So computing for the real GDP that would make more sense would have two values, one for the transactions made by the 1% (should be a lot higher than the official GDP) and one for the bottom 90% majority which would result to a very very low GDP.

The hardships that Ms. Jin described in the 1980s (even going back to 1949 after the CCP seized power) were all caused by the disastrous policies and measures of the CCP, nobody else to blame.
The West is not "getting China wrong". On the contrary, Western countries are now closer to recognizing the true colors of the CCP than at any time in their history. The so-called "misunderstandings" are becoming less and less, not more: this greatly benefit the West.
The only concern of the CCP, especially their tiny elite, is their political power, not anything else. The Western value system and political system are an existential threat to the CCP, so there is no so-called "mutually beneficial middle ground" between the CCP and the West, and only one side can exist in the future. No matter how Ms. Jin sugarcoats it, it can't cover up this cruel situation. In fact, the CCP's elite know it well.
Many good points there.

The “private tuition” situation is not exclusive to China. It is a cultural issue as it is the same in Singapore, Malaysia etc within their Chinese communities. It has its place but in general just like any system it’s been abused and become counter productive.
Their evolution into a whole process democracy has not been understood by our western centric mainstream media. Case in point the lack of basic understanding of Gideon was very apparent during this dialogue.
That said a big shout-out to Gideon for this attempt to bridge the gaps and hopefully promote understanding void of inherent biases.

@@stevencrook3979 I used to be a private tutor and I don't see the phenomena as a "weakness" or a "strength". Everyone's pace of learning is different, that's why private tuitions exist in the first place. However, most Asian (not limited to Chinese) parents send their kids to private tuitions for other reasons like soothing their own anxiety--for fear that their kids won't be competitive enough. These parents feel compelled to "do more" for their kids and thus the actual intention of tuition is lost. I remember the time when I hated having tuitions as a student and told my parents that it was a waste of money. Ironically, my grades improved after I stopped going to tuitions. 😂

I moved to North America in 90s from China. I was a doctor working in a general hospital before then. Comparing to North American education system, China’s colleges and universities are more focus in academic achievement instead of hands on skills. We have BCIT in Canada where many Chinese immigrants and their children learn how to fix cars and build houses and fit into the society very well. This kind of institutes are not popular in China. There’s a mentality in mainland Chinese community that people with higher degree would get better job better name and therefore more respectful. That might mislead some Chinese to choose a wrong college at the beginning.
Even moving to overseas some Chinese people are still struggling if they should get a MA PhD or just a diploma from a college with practical skills. I would say the concept of social status and values are part of their obstacle for their choices.
It's true and many Chinese will never change their old ideas.
China will soon be #1, so?
this creates very one dimensional people. They just study and take tests, and are not well rounded.
I went to University in China for just a year, based on my assessment, Chinese education based on memorization.
I think in my view hands-on and practicalities is hands-on after graduation. it is not learnt at Universities. More hands-on is learnt in technical colleges
then, why are so many Chinese, and families coming to the US, buying houses, and sending their kids to private schools? from where I live, the numbers are growing recently, those, of course, could afford to come here. those who don't come here, because they could not afford it, most likely still love to come.

Is not only people in China that is not inspired when they looked outside China with all the riots and police shooting and homelessness in the West, we too here in the West are also not inspired.
How right you are, so much negativity in the west these days, it’s like a disease.
Each place has their own major problems. Police shootings are actually quite rare in America. The idea China is free from similar level problems is just silly
Maybe you should listen to some of the storys of torture, rape and forced abortions from people, who were in those Uigure Concentration Camps.

Huh? You mean crime doesn't occur in China? There's no corruption? That people aren't imprisoned for their beliefs? ...and become involuntary organ donors?
Misunderstanding=Arrogant
So many fake comments admiring Jin. Well done bots
Basically 95% of the comments are fake. Crazy.
Are you a Hindutva?
She focuses to reiterate all economic issues with facts and figures in China, ambiguity vs clarity is sorted out.
Fruitful conversations. Thanks.
Wow..This lady is on another level..so articulate and intelligent ..
Too many softball questions. How about the impact of Xi's aggressive Wolf Warrior Diplomacy, with no justification enforced their claim to almost the whole South China Sea, oppressing all the other countries? No mention of what has caused almost all of China's close and far neighbors to form military alliances against it: from Japan, India, south Korea, Philippines, Vietnam Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, even far off Australia, Now even NATO is doing FONs in the SCS. The UN Tribunal at UNCLOS has ruled against their land grabs in the SCS but China has doubled down. These are the most presing issues that have caused almost all their neighbors to be against China, Not good at all. This Chinese economist paints China to be a Saint! She's a shill and agent for China embedded in the West. Wake up people. The West is always bad and China is always good. Propaganda!
Hey Keyu, What about the graduated students in U.S., are they getting jobs? I know many of graduated students couldn’t find a job either!
Shhh! Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain. Just swallow the propaganda, without questioning it LOL
it's ok they could always go to China and do delivery as many of their Chinese counterparts are ready doing..... enough hints?
I think it would be a good idea if similar interview could be arranged whereby the interviewee is the one explaining the situations in America to the Chinese audience. That will bring in greater understanding between the East and the West.
How can you explain the scores of homeless in each city, the rubbish and graffiti and rundown or non existing infrastructure.
@26:04 Trump seriously?. You’re telling me one man has the power to. change the sentiments of hundreds of millions of people. @26:22 then blames it on the west as a whole. I thought this was going to be a non-biased interview.
I must remind you that only Chinese experts participate in English conversations in fluent English, but no American experts participate in Chinese conversations in fluent Chinese. The understanding of China by the United States and China‘s understanding of the United States are extremely asymmetric.
There are , just you haven’t seen
@@CaocaoXI link？
then how about the Japanese ?
@@whisperK1108 what about japanese？
@neprobert138 The Japanese know the Chinese much much more than the Chinese know about themselves. And the Japanese are actually the true bearer of the genuine Chinese cultural tradition from the Tang Dynasty. Not the Communist rascals.
Why do you guys never go straight to the point and honest descriptions?

Thank you Dr Jin
Yes china became the biggest producer of evs, but the interviewer didnt ask how they did that. Its a chinese con, the make and register 1000s of ev which are then left in fields to rot! Each car is register so that the count as being sold when they're not. The ev companies gets grants on the sales figures but the cars are all owned by the manufacturers. As i said a typical chinese con job!!
@tristanx3508 seeing the perpetrators was BYD & they weren't the only ones and this "trick" was used in both public bike sharing and electric scooter industries, I very much doubt the ccp stopped anything.
As for you question about the west stopping, yes our systems would have prevented it. Companies knows this so they don't try it in the first place, not to mention the public wouldn't let it happen either.
@tristanx3508 while your talking about swift action, is Xi still going to honour his "no limit" friendship for putin. Will Xi come to putin's rescue?? If no he has condemned his best friend!
I hope she can provide some solutions or directions rather than repeatedly saying the government has done their best with their best intentions
she is a beneficiary of the Chinese gornment system
Because it's what is. She has no better solution than the Chinese government. She's very intelligent all right but a lot of people in the government are miles higher than her in intelligence and experiences.
Well spoken woman !!!
U have shown what a well educated & how articulate a Chinese Can b. U have shown & put many of the so call educated Indian that demonise china to shame. Shame on them. Shame , shame shame on them🎉 Educated !!!!! Really.. well done Professor .keyu u have done the Chinese proud.😊 Your ancestors & the phoenixes r proud of u.
Amazing interview, like professor Jin so much.
As articulated as she was, she didn't have a theory. It's just two friends chatting and having a good time, but it wouldn't help closing the great chasm between Western perception of China and what's going on on the ground.
I see what you mean. For me, as a Chinese American, even seeing these two have a civil and open dialogue, feels healing and in the right direction. Of course, there needs to be more constructive action (and very soon, at that) when it comes to economic and security issues, but for Americans who value social dynamics and connectivity across differences, I feel this talk does in fact serve as bridging the divide. Being able to talk and listen as humans is the first step in finding a way forward.
I am just proud of China..China is a living proof that greatness can be achieved with hard work and peace
It's sad that with the eloquence and articulation, she is not saying much more than what most netizens already know. Did she address the subject, what is the West getting wrong about China? Two acquaintances chit-chatting. They cover many aspects on which only the surface was scratched.
Thank you for your educational lecture on the reality of the tiananmen square protests the other week it was very helpful in knowing just how the ccp treat their people.
Do you really expect detailed information in every aspect mentioned in the 45 minutes program? Actually I do agree with her in one particular thing, the unemployment of young graduates. I remember the rate was something like 24%? She pointed out the problem is not what outsiders of China thought, that the Chinese manufactory is shrinking , it is the mismatch between the job vacancies in the market and the skills the young graduates have. And I agree with her that this probably is one of the issues that deserves high priority for China government to deal with.
@@rsyrsy8543 the current Chinese unemployment and economic big problem is not merely a matter of education skill mismatch.
Much more than that. And I assure you, only if one continues to take her communist hat or camouflage on, she will never be a real serious economist or historian.
Come on, she is saying things like: chinese studants are not impressed what they see in democratic sountries, or in Hongkong. She is a CCP mouth piece, a smart one, a nice one. Sure. Still, Xi's mouth.
Very very impressive!! She is not only smart but also non-biased with deep understanding of the global dynamics in all aspects. Amazing scholar!! Wish we could have more of this among our younger generations.👏👍🙏
She is speaking the party line to answer every question. I could guess every answer she gave because I've heard it from official Chinese mouthpieces before. That said, there is value in hearing what the Chinese government has to say to understand and predict behavior. Also, of course, the Chinese perspective has valid points.
Chinese and North Korean are the only two people on the planet trust the government full hearted.
CCP loves to corrupt academics to parrot their party tropes, which basically equate to Han racial supremacy and human rights are a threat to CCP rule. Why is an economist taking politics and geostrategic planning anyway.
you're 100 percent correct
I have visited there dozens of times in the last 3 decades. She is telling the facts. So anything that differs from your own opinions or MSMs reports must be party propagandas? That's absurd.
While pushing the same CCP talking points, Jin's speech feels more palatable b/c she is able to use cunning English rhetoric wrapped under a thick veneer of economist's jargon.
From reading the comments before listing to the interview, I was hoping for some insight into what the West gets wrong about China. Most of the comments were how unbiased the interview was , but I didn't see that at all. The questions were softball questions that shed zero light on why the West sees China as a "formidable and emerging power on the world stage, the China that most Westerners think they know is an intimidating, authoritarian nation which plans to take over the world." Except for the very last question of the interview when he finally asked a tough one.
The information she gave I'm sure is very accurate, but most of it in a simplified form is known by Westerners already. Yes, we know about the shrinking population, the unemployment rate problems of college graduates, the push to increase the population, etc. All of this can be found on even the weakest news sites in the US, which is how I know. Where were the tough questions regarding China's own racism problems, "bullying" of its neighbors, spying, industrial espionage and many others? What does the Chinese government really want?
Frankly, I was very impressed with her knowledge of economics which is understandable given her pedigree. She is clearly liberal by American standards, but I not overly so. However, she comes across as one of many Chinese nationals that I have conversations with that spout the same old things about China just wanting to compete fairly without confrontation. Well, good luck with that.
The reality for anyone who understands human nature and human history knows that it is inevitable that a superpower will start pushing people around, taking more than their share, try to dominate, hoard resources, etc. I can't think of any empire in history that hasn't done it including any in the West. China will be no different.
Lastly, although Ms Jin sounds very learned in economics, she seems woefully inadequate in the geopolitics arena sounding like a child who thinks everything is rosy and all will be fine if we can just get along. News flash to Keyu, but man has NEVER gotten along. As a species, we haven't reached that level of enlightenment yet. China and the West have one thing in common, biology and that is it. Just about everything else, we are at odds with and that is hard to overcome.
Oh, and Keyu Jin should really consider working on the tourism board for the CCP. I have no doubt that they appreciate her efforts on their behalf. Next time, let me conduct the interview.
Where were the tough questions regarding China's own racism problems, "bullying" of its neighbors, spying, industrial espionage and many others? What does the Chinese government really want? She is an economist, well known and respected in the world of economics apparently. You already have the answers to those questions anyway, the Chinese aren't going to change your mind.
@@Realist-sh3dg I don't want Chinese apologists to change my mind. I would like someone without a horse in the race to give me insight into what we are getting wrong about China. Not some CCP mouthpiece.
She is amazing
The chaos in Hong Kong was caused by the CCP’s stance Not what Hong Kongers did.
It was caused by the NED (i.e. CIA). It's over now, you lost, get over it.
Her father is deeply invested in the CCP and this bias can be heard in her opinions and analysis.
your bias could be heard from this comment. sound like a white guy, for sure.
If you're still discussing on this topic after so many years, only prove that something is really wrong all along. However, I strongly believe denial will continue to persist over truth. Making excuses and convincing people is also a big business. 😂
now this is the evening appetizer I needed! thanks :)
Ok, I think the west is not misunderstanding China . May be in the past, but now West and China have come to see the true colors of each other. Articulate as it is , the conversation could have gone deeper.
I came here to learn something about China that I didn't yet understand... instead it's a rehash of CCP talking points and avoidance of crucial context Beijing finds uncomfortable.
Well, it was bought and paid for by Beijing, what did you expect
Maybe you just don't like what you hear?
@@LovingFeelingThinking It's certainly useful to know... it helps to see the level of penetration of the Beijing into our institutions.
What do you expect? Miss Jin is simply doing her duty as the single child of one of the highest level government officials inside the CCP financing circle, defending the privileges of the red power families that they feel entitled to.
@@beautanner8409 How is Jim's professorship Beijing's penetration into your system? She is a free, independent person who's untitled to her own views and seek employment wherever she likes. She's not hiding her own family background.
I think she is very wrong about the aging causing the economic slowdown. It is a major headache and cause. China and Japan are also different when it comes to the aging issue.
Japan has experienced a gradual aging problem over decades, whilst China has a much more sudden aging issue due to its 1 Child policy and 'femicide'. Secondly, Japan's wealth distribution is a lot more equal compared to China's. China is skewed so uneually that you could say there are 2 countries in China; east and west.
Lastly, I do not think that she offers an unbiased perspective of China. I see her several times walking into Communist Party rhetoric.There is not a freedom of expression, so she cannot freely express her opinions as it is clear she still has roots in China.
CCP has the wisdom to see and mitigate risks to peace not just to China but also the regions around.
China is a joke run by thugs
It's GDP per capita is minuscule
It is about to attack Taiwan
Taiwan which started at the same state of development is 6/10 times richer and far more advanced technologically
Yeah, I bet the sun shines out of Xi's arse.
do you really mean it?
The CCP does what it wants. Its greatest wisdom is its survival at all costs.
Youth unemployment is a global problem. Sweeping it under the rug won't help.
Maybe they can be “sent down” to the countryside to work on farms?
Keyu Jin is talking about the Chinese Dream, meaning global domination and self-serving governance.
Excelente entrevista y brillante entrevistada. Muchas gracias.
Gracias por su conferencia educativa sobre la realidad de las protestas de la plaza de Tiananmen la otra semana, fue muy útil para saber cómo trata el ccp a su gente.
"all my classmate dun have siblings, except the uyghur the have siblings"
maybe because they are muslims? 4 wives and 12 kids?
That must be why the uyghur need re-educating in concentration camps.
Exactly. Labor-saving technology as was mentioned from around 18:00, it seems to becoming huge in China. Massive automation is expected.
Robots 🤖 do not consume goods or pay taxes so they can never substitute human labour
Automation could potentially increase profits for business that employ these robots.. these profits would be taxed (in theory)
massive automation is already a thing even in Chinese service industries, payment and ordering are completely digitalized, robots for restaurant services are very widespread, contactless delivery services, automation of mass transit systems, online healthcare consultation, etc... the other day I was at a Buddhist temple in Guangzhou and there is a ChatGPT style AI interface for interactive Q&A of Buddhist philosophy.
everyone pursues happiness. you cannot be happy if you are not free. In China, you are not free as there is no democracy. no matter what your possessions are you will never be happy. the debate is not about power, it is about freedom and the human right to pursue happiness.
China is more free than us in western democracy. We change governments but all stays the same. In China the government fixes things and improves peoples lives at a rapid pace.
We do not live in the same country, in your country maybe there is no democracy in my country Canada there is. is not about fixing things and improving people's lives, it is about the freedom of the individual, unless you prefer not to have your freedom of choice and letting someone else to control your life. Those who exchange freedom for security do not deserve either freedom or security. If you want to be free you have to be brave and take care of your own life in your hands. @@Stonefeather53

excellent interview, very informative answers and articulated so well by Prof Keyu Jin.
She is brilliant
She mentions "misunderstandings"... for people who live in Taiwan, as I do, what have we misunderstood? Isn't it true that China has repeatedly threatened to invade?
it is not invade, it’s to get it back
She’s nothing but well spoken propaganda.. diverting attention to the communist agenda. Bravo she convinced intellectual fools with her useless babble of the new generation in China.
That Taiwan is a country which it is not and never was.
@@Albion80s It wasn't, maybe until the 1990s, but now it is. It has as a president, an army, currency, passports that are recognized around the world, and an economy that puts most UN members to shame.
Childish mentality. How about the DPP has repeatedly crossed the One China red line, which, btw, is written in TW's constitution? You can't choose to look at just one side of the story and ignore the other
She is the best…knowledgeable and can express things well

That's the most crucial taste applied for the new generation to come. The path will be very prospective for the China rises that none of any western can stop nor contentment.

When you compare the property market between Japan and China, you cannot ignore the control of the Chinese government on the "market price" of the property market. This include the government giving orders to set a minimum price for sellers. No other governments in the free world can do that.
If you travel in China, you can see many "ghost towns" in many medium and small cities •••••••••blocks of new buildings sitting there with no or just a few occupants. This even occur in the outskirts of some big cities like Xian. This was my personal experience as early as 4 years ago when I travel to the north western provinces in China. Even in more prosperous cities around the so-called Greater Bay Area next to Hong Kong and Guangzhou, you can see the same phenomenon. I am sure you would not see this in Japan, a totally free commercial market, before the property bubble burst.
My point is , the "market price" is not falling in the Chinese property market doesn't mean it is still healthy as professor Jin believes. It only means the bubble will be much bigger than that of Japan's when it burst. And the harm it brings might be in decades.
@@tristanx3508 come to china, and see what is happening today
There were so-called "ghost towns" in Shanghai districts too.........now they are all full of people. China practises what is called transit-oriented development. First you build roads and subways etc. to "nowhere", then property developers build......and can't sell all the properties, but over time they start filling up and eventually you find that some of these ghost cities are now just regular cities. Also, people who have migrated to work and live in upper tier cities, will often also buy a house in their hometown, and those houses will lie empty until they retire(they don't put tenants in). Finally, what did Tristan3508 say???
@@Storm4155 Do not compare the country's biggest and most densely populated city with those small/medium size cities in central and north western China I am talking about. Even in the suburbs of big cities like Xian, if you have been there, you will know what a ghost town is really like.
Even in Shanghai today, some districts which previously mainly rented to foreigners or non-Shanghai resident working in Shanghai, are now become ghost towns as well. You can find many youtube videos if you really want to know about the real situation. Don't just read what the CCP feeds you.
You can definitely tell how the west is getting China wrong from the comment section. Either the west media has done a great job or intelligent people simply don't voice out.
Great conversation
Speaking of reform, a consolidated power is essential for reform. For example, in US, reform is not possible due to its internal political structure. But in China, it can happen over night. In fact, the No.1 strength of Communist Party of China is adapting to challenges.

@@user-kx7oi9co6w Nah the CCP wouldn't let me
How can you say that after China was completely unable to move away from the one child policy even though the devastating consequences have been clear for decades now? That’s the opposite of decisive action and adapting to challenges. Challenges you yourself have created in the first place.
Interesting interview, but maybe not quite for the expected reasons. Ms Jin comes across less as an academic, but more as a journalist stitching headlines and personal views together. She has views on economics (fair enough), politics, software, demographics, the housing market, the education system… and it shows quite regularly by contradictions and inconsistencies… there is also a remarkable willingness to explain and excuse CCP action. Plenty of important issues receive no mention at all (Taiwan, city-rural divide, government sponsored industrial espionage…). I don‘t think I will put her book on my reading list.
