@L _"Socialism is the process of analyzing contradictions and resolving them"_ Lol. That's "Maoism". This is not that, otherwise Xi and Deng would just say it's just "Maoism" or just regular "Socialism". IMO "Socialism with Chinese characteristic" is a "regulated capitalism", a mixed economy not that different to current EU or US economy.
@L What are you talking about? Chairman Mao designed "Maoism" with specific thinking that "Socialism" (Leninism/Marxism) is *not compatible* with largely agrarian society that was China. Hence it fulfills your criterion. IMO current Chinese economic system is a beautiful *mockery* of Marxism, Leninism, and Socialism in general. Lol. Chinese transformation show that "collective ownership of the means of production" is *inferior* to "private enterprise", and that Socialist morons will accept Capitalism as long as the leadership pay lip service and call what is de-facto Capitalism as "Socialism with unique character".
But there's really a key element: A Single Party State, with a hierarchical structure, dominated from top to bottom, and who acts like a Venture Capitalist, assigning resources --credits-- to the areas that the Party prioritizes. The Communist Party leadership is non-negociable.
Deng Thought was that China could benefit from the growth provided by foreign and domestic capitalists, to raise living standards, as long as the workers' Party remained in control of the state and played the dominant role in the economy. He said that the existence of widespread wealth inequality would be a sign that things had gone too far Xi came into office and saw that there was widespread inequality and a rising bourgeois (capitalist) class, so, under his leadership, the party is reasserting state dominance over the economy
Whatever your opinion, you can't deny that old school Soviet Union went kaput and new school Communist China is now the world's second biggest economy. Pragmatism beats dogma every time.
@Capitalist I hope you don't believe a word what you said. The CCP has no grand master plan to reach socialism, quite the opposite. It is a clique of bureaucrats who became capitalists by selling to themselves the state-owned companies they privatized. Of course, the bourgeoisie of every country is bringing its own downfall by building up productive forces until it reaches an overproduction crisis, but that's an internal contradiction of capitalism, and by no mean a conscious plan of the bourgeoisie.
The USSR collapsed because Krushchev turned socialism into capitalism when he pursued pleasure economics instead of wartime economics. Krushchev also purged many Soviet cyberneticists who were friendly with Stalin, and these experts basically imagined what we had of an e-commerce economy today - China currently dominates the world through Alibaba, Pingduoduo, and more. China was successful because it never turned away from Stalin's vision.

*Democracy* with *American* *characteristics* : -we call our selfs a "democracy" even though we have always been a republic since our founding, we also start hundreds of wars for "freedom" such as enslaving entire countries for banana countries. -also we give billions of $$$ to multi national companies like google, amazon, facebook, apple, tesla, oil companies, massive banks responsible for the 2008 collapse, and we also bail them out for free, any millionaire can get free socialized subsidies, but we still call ourselves "capitalist". -also the poor don't own a single thing, everything is monitored and everything the working class owns is given to its lords/oligarchs and government officers who do nothing all day. -no this isn't the textbook definition of feudalism this is CAPTIALISM, YES BLAME CAPITALISM, the government is not giving billions of tax dollars to fund corporations that support the military and keep the government in power (like most communist governments) no blame capitalism

I'd classify it more as adaptability with an inability to challenge founding figures. Pragmatism is too charitable of a name for a party unable to repeal policies solely on the basis that their founding fathers implemented them.
Lee Kuan Yes, the founding father of a tiny city state, yet has established himself as a giant of the political world. He is revered across Asia, as his shrewd management of Singapore and its meteoric economic rise has endeared Singapore as a template for how an ideal Asian society should be governed.
Strictly speaking, Lee Kuan Yew has the greatest influence on Shenzhen, China. Other cities, including political reforms and economic reforms, some cities in the west have retained their pre-1978 appearance and did not really learn from Singapore.
@PANDEMIC BY CCP AND XITLER Chiang Kai-shek had no influence on the political reforms in mainland China. What he tried hard to promote was a one-party system, "the country can only have one party, and your party (the Communist Party) needs to lay down its arms and accept our adaptation." However, the result is a full-scale Japanese invasion. If you want to say that his son Jiang Jingguo is okay. He studied in the Soviet Union, including starting to purge a large number of the Communist Party in Taiwan, including the Kuomintang. The United Kuomintang has changed the issue of internal division. Begin to seize Taiwan’s aristocratic property, reap their lands and return them to the country, and reshuffle the cards to boost Taiwan’s economy. Chiang Kai-shek's economic measures in 46-49 can only be described as tragic.

China has made huge progress in the last 20 years or so, and I think that should be commended. However, despite lifting millions out of poverty there exists in China today huge wealth inequality which is fundamentally incompatible with Socialism. Having said that I think the jury is out on whether or not the CPC has the ability and incentive to create a more just and egalitarian society where wealth is shared by all. I hope China can achieve that goal, and I sincerely wish the CPC and the Chinese people success in their endeavour.

"Socialism with Chinese characteristics" = market economy with major fully or partially state owned enterprises over key sectors of the economy despite the private sector being the main engine of growth, openess to international trade and investment with protectionist policies like the joint venture requirement for foreign companies, state subsidised healthcare and education, special economic zones with low taxes like Shenzhen and Hainan, capital submitting to political authority and the preservation of the one-party state. Long term thinking and national goals and targets set out in the "5 year plans" are also relics of socialist central planning, though nowhere rigid as before - it still allows for the state to plan and execute out big national projects over a long period of time.
LOL, certainly not every countries. Your country is stil inferior to what some European countries offer to their people. In Asia, there's Japan who, definitely , does better than China and to the international community.
Teddy Mine not really. Japan’s economy never recovers since 1990. Their infrastructure and tech industry stay old. Their pandemic control is pretty bad. But China surpasses Japan in almost all of those. Plus government China has 1.4 billions of people. 40 years ago China was poorer than Indian and way behind Brazil. The challenges the CCP has overcome to bring china up is way more challenging than Japan. Bringing 800m people out of poverty, converting deserts into forest, building great infrastructure, bringing up the education of Chinese, etc. To the outsiders, they think Chinese government is bad because the media always tells half story and sometimes fake news. Plus, if you never live in China to experience the changes, they never matter to you. And only the bad news would catch your eyes. But Chinese, on the other hand, experience through all the changes and they are satisfied with the government. I’m Chinese and In my opinion, I couldn’t think of a country whose government is better than China. A lot of countries can’t even be comparable to China in terms of population such as Canada that only has 20m of people. It’s less than the population of a province in China. I would never trade my government with them simply I feel that they are incompetent. Singapore’s government is probably the only one that comes close.

Before the KMT left the mainland, they took with them China’s gold reserves; the KMT took the reserves of the entire mainland and now only had to support a fraction of the population. However, to give credit where credit is due, the Taiwanese did create an incredibly successful economy during the 80s-90s due the adoption of a market-based economy.

This is just my opinion. For all those things happened in mainland China, i do adore one thing for it's government. I'm amazed how they could (re)build massive economy for the country by liberalize the people to do work for themselves (and for some were going crazy materialistic about it), while still retaining absolute power at the throne of the ccp. In the modern world which really adore free trade, economic might is the key of power (instead of militaristic conquest since centuries) and they were able to get it without giving people much freedom as much as the west do. They were able to took the key of power of the world without worrying the people would annoy and harass them like what happened to much nation in the west do. They were able to sat on the final step of the food chain, got much benefits from the most of the people while shut them off if it's was threatening them. In those days those things were hard to gain in the west governance, but was very common in mainland china. I know one or two things about chinese history, and i acknowledge that they were have such a significant achievement about world wisdom and glory (and such thing) compared to some other civilization which has similar achievement, and comparing current chinese mainland to the historical one, they were very _different_ in many ways, but still have retain one thing that I'm very sure, _the people on power always had absolute power to it's domain_ . After all, i cannot deny my thankfulness for them. I do writing this on youtube from a xiaomi phone, which the one that only affordable for me. If deng didn't revolutionize the economy i wouldn't got this thing, wouldn't able to understand English, wouldn't have platform to have a look to outside world, wouldn't understand many things, just stuck in a third world that quite have much blindness and isolation, which were i born into. They do have credits for my living now, and i really honor it. But as an undergraduate student on political science, and do learning about human civilization (especially about politics and military conflicts), my view to what those ccp is doing is very astonishing - although, it is still have a cost, they do my country (which have a semi democratic government that quite deaf to it's people demands) have debt to them and maybe would be a future burden for me, and their raising influence would threatened my country's sovereignty - thus again, threatened me. But hey, that's just how politics works. If the west - which quite enough people consider it as another polar of the world beside mainland china for now - didn't raise their awareness and lift their influence and power to the world, the chinese mainlanders would become so significant that even able to dictate them. I do not have problem to that in general actually, I'm glad that everybody have a same slice, but history never write a nice peace when there were multipolar influence across politics. Again, i do not have problem to the chinese mainlanders, but i do have problem to their government works, which i do adore it's effectiveness, and avoiding it because of it does reducing personal liberty values (at least in the westerners standards, which also i do believe).
@@signumxmagnum yeah i also acknowledge that. But i still do believe there's would always exists challenge when each parties were given access, in this context, those companies would do anything to be able to cooperate or even put their people to be _elected_ by the people, by their own will. They were always seems to be nice to the people, and give people access to speak their awareness to if anything happened. That would challenge any power (especially when they were using democracy), and again, make them very aware. The chinese mainland authority don't even have such a case, since they do control the media and the way of the people to speak. Not always becomes a bad thing though, media censorship always grant great security and stability, thus again, to keep them in the power. For me, in the politics, the more you gains influence from the other parties, more stronger you are. No matter they were very pressed and stressful to do living, no matter they were dying to do their living, if you could secure your throne and retains important resource of your power (ie economy might for this case), then there's nothing wrong.
@@218kq in one way, the central government will care for the people because it's where their legitimacy come from, there's no opposition to blame. If there's something wrong it's always the fault of the government, they can't say it's the fault of previous government. The current form of economy model of PRC is similar to previous dynasties.

In his fictional work “Utopia”, Thomas More talked about an imaginary community that possesses a highly desirable or nearly perfect societal qualities for its citizens. The contrasts of the harmony, equality, and prosperity of Utopian society, with the problems of the real world, such as poverty, crime, and political corruption, suggests that he believes that at least some of the virtues underlying Utopian practices are desirable, even if the practices themselves are far-fetched given human imperfections. China is the world most populous country. Just 4 decades ago, its GDP per capita of circa $150 is lower than that of India at $200. But today, it is 7.5 times that of India’s! Of course, China is still far from being a utopia, but China is definitely working towards the ideals of an equitable society. The feat achieved by Beijing, especially with regards to the elevation of the livelihood for its citizenry - the eradication of poverty, the pursuit of liberty, freedom, and happiness - is unprecedented, and undoubtedly the greatest achievement for humanity in the history of mankind. Indeed, this achievement is so compelling that the unbiased could only conclude that China’s achievement is no coincidence. Nor could it have been achieved by means of tyranny, oppression, or slavery.

This video doesn't really have a concrete answer because there is none. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics means whatever the CCP needs or wants it to mean. It is fundamentally simply a buzzword used to help justify the parties rule since the path Deng took them on diverged so much from the Marxist-Leninist idea of the state. Xi Jingping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is simply Xi cementing his rule and that the country will follow his vision. What exactly that means isn't exactly hard to find out since he's ruled the country for 9 years now.
@TerranStriker There used to be. Once Deng Xiaoping rose to become China's paramount leader, he set out to making sure no one could ever rule for life as Mao did. When the position of President was reestablished in the Chinese constitution in 1982, a 2 term limit was imposed. Though the position of President of China is largely ceremonial, with real power being held by the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission (keep in mind the PLA is a branch of the party, not the state), the implication that this was a limit on how long the paramount leader should rule was made clear by Deng himself when he stepped down in 1989, a bit over 10 years (a Chinese presidential term is 5 years) after he became paramount leader. Both Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao respected this precedent, though it is worth noting that both of them were handpicked by Deng himself into the position of paramount leader. Deng meant to ensure that China's leadership would always be stable and never again would the Chaos of the cultural revolution occur. Xi has abandoned the model Deng set for China is many ways, but the most blatant was having the constitution modified to remove term limits on the Presidency. Xi can serve for however long he wants and can hold on to power, and given that he hasn't appointed a successor he likely intends to rule for a long time, possibly even until death.
Depends on what define a capitalism. Most people misunderstand socialist country thinking that they banned Private owned property but in reality many people start to gain more land as their private property in the Soviet Union. Back then the Soviet Union was an agrarian country so much of the land was taken from huge landowner and devided it into smaller fields for farmers. Much of the farming equipments are privately owned by the farmers and so is the land. It was the cold war that dismissed this truth and this is also where the myth of "Socialism against private ownership" started.

This is the failure of the free market. my idea is capitalism => primitive socialism => socialism => pre-communism => communism communism can be achieved only by automating every job so that people don't need to trade their time to make a living. Instead, they do it out of passion. And automation is not magic. It takes time. So, this is my idea. pre-communism can be achieved when food is completely renewable (like people doesn't even need to trade time for food aka free-lunch). communism (aka stateless and classless society) can be achieved by bringing down the time cost of extracting minerals and energy to 0. What i mean by that is, we dont have shortage for energy (energy is completely renewable) and minerals (asteroid mining with robots and automated refining). Bonus is that we will become a tier 1 civilization too. In tier-2 civilization, the species builds dyson spheres around stars (watch kurzgesagt video: ruclips.net/video/pP44EPBMb8A/видео.html ). Tier-3 civilizations will build similar energy extracting space infrastructure around black holes. My opinion is that a capitalist civilization cannot reach tier-1 civilization, as they are interested in short term greed, not long term gain, being detrimental to science and technology, etc. Maybe I am day-dreaming a lot. But Wish this turns into a reality 🙂
It confuses me that ordinary people seems unable to accept that capitalism under socialist ideology can be formed. We all seemed so stuck with whatever Harvard/MIT feed us to believe.
China can stand proud for their start in the belief in communism that have evolved into socialism. The fall of Soviet Union after democracy/Gobachev style, has opened China eyes not to go that way. So when President Xi Jinping came on the scene, he formalise a definite goal to achieve China developent towards China socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

i think its a legitimate form of building ( towards ) socialism in that it supports the independent growth of productive forces to hit the ground running once other movements toward / into socialism happen. this is especially since china was ( and relatively still is ) a very poor country per capita. but whether or not this system is more effective or liberating for its workers and people right now than a purely socialist economy - some things we can and can't know

@@muhammadhaikalpermanaatmaj73 As for the darkest period part, only Chinese people know what the life look like during the humiliated century. Anyone other than Chinese doesn't have the right to say about that also doesn't have the right to define what kind of people he is.
Though China isn’t Marxist by definition, their strategy for their immense rise has worked. Since the waning and fall of the USSR, it has been far harder to run a socialist economy in the capitalist world we live in with the US as it’s hegemon. I hope to see the day that the world tilts socialist and we can see China implement more and more Marxism and undercut the imperialism of the west
Correct me if I am wrong, socialism is based on welfare of the working class. Like social democracy in northern Europe, government has responsibilities to support its citizens. For example in some European countries if you take loan from a bank to start your business and bankrupt - government pays your debts so that you don't commit suicide. China is more like it's there when you want to own a property, but when it comes to share the wealth, citizens are on their own. Life in cities is shiny, but rural areas do not have enough opportunities. I'm not saying it to compare with other countries. But china can invest in its rural areas instead of African countries
Democratic centralism (dictatorship of the proletariat), government owned means of production, it provides it's people with food, housing, education, healthcare and jobs and much more but socialism has no clear definition so it's meaningless to try to attempt to define the ideology
As long as the government of country serving the interest of people, the kind of governance system they embrace really doesn’t matter. Leadership ability of government matters the most. The countries cover almost the entire world embrace a system so called democracy one vote one count. The phenomenon in these countries; politician/parties is more interested in fighting for their self-political gain, winner take all, the richer is getting richer, the poor is poorer, capitalist making even harder for the invisible/vulnerable groups having access to job security, food, and education, protection of law.
Strange, countries like Sweden, Danemark,Norway,Finland, Netherlands, Belgium...where wealth is(a bit) better redistributed, are more socialist in the facts but they don't call themselves "socialist country".
Based from my observations, I can conclude that China is now a Social Capitalist state. 1. Existence of entrepreneurs who drive the economy. 2. Opening up of trade with other countries 3. Promoting businessess to grow and allow for private owned property. I say it's Social Capitalist as despite it's a capitalist country, it still tries to balance it with the development of society.
The state controls the economy. Trade =/= capitalism. Allowing private property to exist isn't capitalist. It's not capitalist. You don't understand socialism with Chinese characteristics.
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 Trade is a form capitalism. Characteristics of capitalism 1. The existence of private properties (in China, we have now seen people owning cars and mansions and most of them have properties overseas) 2. Profit motive. Tell me, why China started its Belt and Road initiative? To encourage more trade which will yield more profit. 3. Competition between companies. In communist/socialist system, such competition are not allowed and all of the businessess are state owned. Yet, in China we have seen the rise of Huawei and Xiaomi, both which are competitors to each others. 4. Consumer power. Don't tell me that China isn't a capitalist country when their people literally have consumer power, ie the right to choose stuff that they wanted. 5. Economic growth. Don't tell me that China isn't a capitalist country when they literally trade with other countries. USSR tried to avoid such thing and look what happened to them. They stagnated. It's not pure capitalist as the state controls the economy still, evidenced by Jack Ma recent cases with the central command. Chinese people are known for one thing, capitalism and trading. We are excellent traders, reaching as far as India and Africa. That is a Chinese characteristic. The ability to trade.
@@edryctan672 these aren't characteristics of capitalism they are just things that exist under capitalism. Such an idiotic way to define capitalism as a certain number of characteristics. Capitalism is when there is private ownership of the means of production and therefore there is a hierarchical system of wealth and power. However private ownership of the means of production can exist under socialism as long as the workers control them through the dictatorship of the proletariat which is democratic centralism. You can't define capitalism as a set few characteristics. The important distinction is that workers aren't in power in China and the bourgeoisie is in power under capitalism. All these things you describe either can or has existed under socialism. Most of these things have existed in most socialist states other than China.
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 Unfortunately, under capitalism, anyone that becomes successful is a bourgeoisie. And we have seen the rise of several of them.
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 Also, the CCP acknowledge the existence of capitalist groups in China. Like I say before, Capitalist is a broad thing, but whatever China is doing is a partial capitalism, as the state controls the economy.
First of all, i think everyone needed to know what a socialist economy really looks like without the cold war bias. There are too many simplified version of their system which created the many myth about them and start making up about what is the value of socialism based on that.

Lol. That's "Maoism". This is not that, otherwise Xi and Deng would just say it's just "Maoism" or just regular "Socialism".
IMO "Socialism with Chinese characteristic" is a "regulated capitalism", a mixed economy not that different to current EU or US economy.
@L What are you talking about? Chairman Mao designed "Maoism" with specific thinking that "Socialism" (Leninism/Marxism) is *not compatible* with largely agrarian society that was China. Hence it fulfills your criterion.
IMO current Chinese economic system is a beautiful *mockery* of Marxism, Leninism, and Socialism in general. Lol.
Chinese transformation show that "collective ownership of the means of production" is *inferior* to "private enterprise", and that Socialist morons will accept Capitalism as long as the leadership pay lip service and call what is de-facto Capitalism as "Socialism with unique character".

He said that the existence of widespread wealth inequality would be a sign that things had gone too far

@Capitalist I hope you don't believe a word what you said. The CCP has no grand master plan to reach socialism, quite the opposite. It is a clique of bureaucrats who became capitalists by selling to themselves the state-owned companies they privatized. Of course, the bourgeoisie of every country is bringing its own downfall by building up productive forces until it reaches an overproduction crisis, but that's an internal contradiction of capitalism, and by no mean a conscious plan of the bourgeoisie.
The USSR collapsed because Krushchev turned socialism into capitalism when he pursued pleasure economics instead of wartime economics. Krushchev also purged many Soviet cyberneticists who were friendly with Stalin, and these experts basically imagined what we had of an e-commerce economy today - China currently dominates the world through Alibaba, Pingduoduo, and more. China was successful because it never turned away from Stalin's vision.

Lee Kuan Yes, the founding father of a tiny city state, yet has established himself as a giant of the political world. He is revered across Asia, as his shrewd management of Singapore and its meteoric economic rise has endeared Singapore as a template for how an ideal Asian society should be governed.
Strictly speaking, Lee Kuan Yew has the greatest influence on Shenzhen, China.
Other cities, including political reforms and economic reforms, some cities in the west have retained their pre-1978 appearance and did not really learn from Singapore.
@PANDEMIC BY CCP AND XITLER Chiang Kai-shek had no influence on the political reforms in mainland China. What he tried hard to promote was a one-party system, "the country can only have one party, and your party (the Communist Party) needs to lay down its arms and accept our adaptation." However, the result is a full-scale Japanese invasion.

Teddy Mine not really. Japan’s economy never recovers since 1990. Their infrastructure and tech industry stay old. Their pandemic control is pretty bad. But China surpasses Japan in almost all of those. Plus government China has 1.4 billions of people. 40 years ago China was poorer than Indian and way behind Brazil. The challenges the CCP has overcome to bring china up is way more challenging than Japan. Bringing 800m people out of poverty, converting deserts into forest, building great infrastructure, bringing up the education of Chinese, etc.
To the outsiders, they think Chinese government is bad because the media always tells half story and sometimes fake news. Plus, if you never live in China to experience the changes, they never matter to you. And only the bad news would catch your eyes. But Chinese, on the other hand, experience through all the changes and they are satisfied with the government.

I am a citizen of Singapore. In my country, there is a political party called the Workers' Party, which embraces the ideology of Socialism. However, as only a few members of the WP gets voted into the Parliament, their views (which benefits the people of Singapore) always get rejected by the PAP, our Facist ruling party, which holds the majority seats in parliament. I feel sorry for our WP Comrades who often get bullied and mocked by the PAP in parliament sessions. Recently, an extensive smear campaign had been launched against the WP, courtesy of the PAP. How I wish that Chairman Xi Jinping is our Leader instead of our Prime Minister, the Chief of the PAP.

This is just my opinion. For all those things happened in mainland China, i do adore one thing for it's government. I'm amazed how they could (re)build massive economy for the country by liberalize the people to do work for themselves (and for some were going crazy materialistic about it), while still retaining absolute power at the throne of the ccp.
In the modern world which really adore free trade, economic might is the key of power (instead of militaristic conquest since centuries) and they were able to get it without giving people much freedom as much as the west do. They were able to took the key of power of the world without worrying the people would annoy and harass them like what happened to much nation in the west do. They were able to sat on the final step of the food chain, got much benefits from the most of the people while shut them off if it's was threatening them. In those days those things were hard to gain in the west governance, but was very common in mainland china.
I know one or two things about chinese history, and i acknowledge that they were have such a significant achievement about world wisdom and glory (and such thing) compared to some other civilization which has similar achievement, and comparing current chinese mainland to the historical one, they were very _different_ in many ways, but still have retain one thing that I'm very sure, _the people on power always had absolute power to it's domain_ .
After all, i cannot deny my thankfulness for them. I do writing this on youtube from a xiaomi phone, which the one that only affordable for me. If deng didn't revolutionize the economy i wouldn't got this thing, wouldn't able to understand English, wouldn't have platform to have a look to outside world, wouldn't understand many things, just stuck in a third world that quite have much blindness and isolation, which were i born into. They do have credits for my living now, and i really honor it. But as an undergraduate student on political science, and do learning about human civilization (especially about politics and military conflicts), my view to what those ccp is doing is very astonishing - although, it is still have a cost, they do my country (which have a semi democratic government that quite deaf to it's people demands) have debt to them and maybe would be a future burden for me, and their raising influence would threatened my country's sovereignty - thus again, threatened me. But hey, that's just how politics works.
If the west - which quite enough people consider it as another polar of the world beside mainland china for now - didn't raise their awareness and lift their influence and power to the world, the chinese mainlanders would become so significant that even able to dictate them. I do not have problem to that in general actually, I'm glad that everybody have a same slice, but history never write a nice peace when there were multipolar influence across politics. Again, i do not have problem to the chinese mainlanders, but i do have problem to their government works, which i do adore it's effectiveness, and avoiding it because of it does reducing personal liberty values (at least in the westerners standards, which also i do believe).
@@signumxmagnum yeah i also acknowledge that. But i still do believe there's would always exists challenge when each parties were given access, in this context, those companies would do anything to be able to cooperate or even put their people to be _elected_ by the people, by their own will. They were always seems to be nice to the people, and give people access to speak their awareness to if anything happened. That would challenge any power (especially when they were using democracy), and again, make them very aware. The chinese mainland authority don't even have such a case, since they do control the media and the way of the people to speak. Not always becomes a bad thing though, media censorship always grant great security and stability, thus again, to keep them in the power.
For me, in the politics, the more you gains influence from the other parties, more stronger you are. No matter they were very pressed and stressful to do living, no matter they were dying to do their living, if you could secure your throne and retains important resource of your power (ie economy might for this case), then there's nothing wrong.
@@218kq in one way, the central government will care for the people because it's where their legitimacy come from, there's no opposition to blame. If there's something wrong it's always the fault of the government, they can't say it's the fault of previous government.
The current form of economy model of PRC is similar to previous dynasties. The government control certain sectors of economy while trades are largely free. Taxation law is always changing, but state capitalism, capitalism and socialism coexist.
Who did tell you that Chinese don't have freedom or right to criticize government? You can't understand China by second hand English speaking information.
Western democracy doesn't suit China, China has it's own style of "Eastern democracy", and current system that China using is a lot more advance and friendly than Western democracy.
In his fictional work “Utopia”, Thomas More talked about an imaginary community that possesses a highly desirable or nearly perfect societal qualities for its citizens. The contrasts of the harmony, equality, and prosperity of Utopian society, with the problems of the real world, such as poverty, crime, and political corruption, suggests that he believes that at least some of the virtues underlying Utopian practices are desirable, even if the practices themselves are far-fetched given human imperfections.
China is the world most populous country. Just 4 decades ago, its GDP per capita of circa $150 is lower than that of India at $200. But today, it is 7.5 times that of India’s!
Of course, China is still far from being a utopia, but China is definitely working towards the ideals of an equitable society. The feat achieved by Beijing, especially with regards to the elevation of the livelihood for its citizenry - the eradication of poverty, the pursuit of liberty, freedom, and happiness - is unprecedented, and undoubtedly the greatest achievement for humanity in the history of mankind.
Indeed, this achievement is so compelling that the unbiased could only conclude that China’s achievement is no coincidence. Nor could it have been achieved by means of tyranny, oppression, or slavery.

honestly, as someone who wants to visit where my family came from, i really want to see china change two things AT THE LEAST: 1) allow rights/freedoms of speech and information, and 2) reform its legal system from civil to common law. just so it actually protects the people, and not there simply to enforce party policies. if we can get these two things going in beijing, then i'd say we're looking at real, systemic changes to a brighter and friendly china

This video doesn't really have a concrete answer because there is none. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics means whatever the CCP needs or wants it to mean. It is fundamentally simply a buzzword used to help justify the parties rule since the path Deng took them on diverged so much from the Marxist-Leninist idea of the state.
Xi Jingping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is simply Xi cementing his rule and that the country will follow his vision. What exactly that means isn't exactly hard to find out since he's ruled the country for 9 years now.
@TerranStriker There used to be. Once Deng Xiaoping rose to become China's paramount leader, he set out to making sure no one could ever rule for life as Mao did. When the position of President was reestablished in the Chinese constitution in 1982, a 2 term limit was imposed. Though the position of President of China is largely ceremonial, with real power being held by the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission (keep in mind the PLA is a branch of the party, not the state), the implication that this was a limit on how long the paramount leader should rule was made clear by Deng himself when he stepped down in 1989, a bit over 10 years (a Chinese presidential term is 5 years) after he became paramount leader.
Both Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao respected this precedent, though it is worth noting that both of them were handpicked by Deng himself into the position of paramount leader. Deng meant to ensure that China's leadership would always be stable and never again would the Chaos of the cultural revolution occur.
Xi has abandoned the model Deng set for China is many ways, but the most blatant was having the constitution modified to remove term limits on the Presidency. Xi can serve for however long he wants and can hold on to power, and given that he hasn't appointed a successor he likely intends to rule for a long time, possibly even until death.
That's just sounds like capitalism with extra steps
Depends on what define a capitalism. Most people misunderstand socialist country thinking that they banned Private owned property but in reality many people start to gain more land as their private property in the Soviet Union. Back then the Soviet Union was an agrarian country so much of the land was taken from huge landowner and devided it into smaller fields for farmers. Much of the farming equipments are privately owned by the farmers and so is the land.
It was the cold war that dismissed this truth and this is also where the myth of "Socialism against private ownership" started.

Xiao Mose Actually, it’s a bit more comparable than you might think; we still have Amtrak, which is owned by the US gov and is still pretty effective and extensive. Trains and rail travel were and are incredibly important in the US, the only real difference is that private cars have superseded them as the primary means of travel.

In Socialist world, it is the same thing. You cannot simply follow the original doctrine to build a socialist state, it won't work in practical reality. The former Soviet Union has already prove it.
I agree. Opening market momentarily to get some technology transfer agreements to be able to produce things locally and then closing the economy slowly as the USA goes to karen mode is an intelligent idea. Soviets were kinda different but not that much actually. They did export many stuff too. Market economy is still unfair. Example: there are a lot of homeless people and a lot of jobless talented civil engineers able to engineer homes. This is the failure of the free market.
my idea is capitalism => primitive socialism => socialism => pre-communism => communism
communism can be achieved only by automating every job so that people don't need to trade their time to make a living. Instead, they do it out of passion. And automation is not magic. It takes time. So, this is my idea. pre-communism can be achieved when food is completely renewable (like people doesn't even need to trade time for food aka free-lunch). communism (aka stateless and classless society) can be achieved by bringing down the time cost of extracting minerals and energy to 0. What i mean by that is, we dont have shortage for energy (energy is completely renewable) and minerals (asteroid mining with robots and automated refining). Bonus is that we will become a tier 1 civilization too. In tier-2 civilization, the species builds dyson spheres around stars (watch kurzgesagt video: ruclips.net/video/pP44EPBMb8A/видео.html ). Tier-3 civilizations will build similar energy extracting space infrastructure around black holes. My opinion is that a capitalist civilization cannot reach tier-1 civilization, as they are interested in short term greed, not long term gain, being detrimental to science and technology, etc. Maybe I am day-dreaming a lot. But Wish this turns into a reality 🙂

i think its a legitimate form of building ( towards ) socialism in that it supports the independent growth of productive forces to hit the ground running once other movements toward / into socialism happen. this is especially since china was ( and relatively still is ) a very poor country per capita. but whether or not this system is more effective or liberating for its workers and people right now than a purely socialist economy - some things we can and can't know
China should really grateful to Deng Xiaoping's reform, compared to homicidal Mao. Without Deng's legacy, China would be just bigger North Korea
Mao certainly made mistakes, and a lot of people dead because of it. But he also lead China through the darkest period and he fully committed himself to the country and the people.
@@donaldduck1322 Nope. I mean considering Cultural Revolution, Great leap forward, Great Chinese Famine and destroying many Chinese intellectual as a form of anti-rightist campaign.... he's the worst tyrant&ruler of china, HE IS THE ONE who made china enter its DARKEST period. He's not a savior of china, he is the demon
@@muhammadhaikalpermanaatmaj73 As for the darkest period part, only Chinese people know what the life look like during the humiliated century. Anyone other than Chinese doesn't have the right to say about that also doesn't have the right to define what kind of people he is.
Well, the reality is different
Though China isn’t Marxist by definition, their strategy for their immense rise has worked. Since the waning and fall of the USSR, it has been far harder to run a socialist economy in the capitalist world we live in with the US as it’s hegemon. I hope to see the day that the world tilts socialist and we can see China implement more and more Marxism and undercut the imperialism of the west
Correct me if I am wrong, socialism is based on welfare of the working class. Like social democracy in northern Europe, government has responsibilities to support its citizens.
For example in some European countries if you take loan from a bank to start your business and bankrupt - government pays your debts so that you don't commit suicide.
China is more like it's there when you want to own a property, but when it comes to share the wealth, citizens are on their own. Life in cities is shiny, but rural areas do not have enough opportunities. I'm not saying it to compare with other countries. But china can invest in its rural areas instead of African countries
In summary:
"We will allow capitalism again".
So basicly “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” is capatilism
But worse
Not yet
In China Gvnt controls $
In US $ controls Gvnt
@@truehker2871 that makes 0 sense
Of course, McDonald is also the “healthy food with American characteristics”
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in Chinese, when directly translated, means "Socialism with a Chinese touch".
Just found it interesting.

Basically an Asian version of USSR
It's basically mixed socialism CCCP with nationalism U.S.(cut off the liberalism idealogy) right now.
It’s called state capitalism
I usually love SCMP, but this video did a poor job of explaining how it actually works in practice. What socialistic characteristics does it have?
Democratic centralism (dictatorship of the proletariat), government owned means of production, it provides it's people with food, housing, education, healthcare and jobs and much more but socialism has no clear definition so it's meaningless to try to attempt to define the ideology
As long as the government of country serving the interest of people, the kind of governance system they embrace really doesn’t matter. Leadership ability of government matters the most. The countries cover almost the entire world embrace a system so called democracy one vote one count. The phenomenon in these countries; politician/parties is more interested in fighting for their self-political gain, winner take all, the richer is getting richer, the poor is poorer, capitalist making even harder for the invisible/vulnerable groups having access to job security, food, and education, protection of law.
Strange, countries like Sweden, Danemark,Norway,Finland, Netherlands, Belgium...where wealth is(a bit) better redistributed,
are more socialist in the facts but they don't call themselves "socialist country".
they are not. people who say that have no idea what socialism actually means
I really want a power that can balance the USA. It seems that USA can do everything in the beginning of the 21st century without Soviet.
China can never enter WTO without the support of USA, simple as that
Based from my observations, I can conclude that China is now a Social Capitalist state.
1. Existence of entrepreneurs who drive the economy.
2. Opening up of trade with other countries
3. Promoting businessess to grow and allow for private owned property.
I say it's Social Capitalist as despite it's a capitalist country, it still tries to balance it with the development of society.
The state controls the economy. Trade =/= capitalism. Allowing private property to exist isn't capitalist. It's not capitalist. You don't understand socialism with Chinese characteristics.
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 Trade is a form capitalism.
Characteristics of capitalism
1. The existence of private properties (in China, we have now seen people owning cars and mansions and most of them have properties overseas)
2. Profit motive. Tell me, why China started its Belt and Road initiative? To encourage more trade which will yield more profit.
3. Competition between companies. In communist/socialist system, such competition are not allowed and all of the businessess are state owned. Yet, in China we have seen the rise of Huawei and Xiaomi, both which are competitors to each others.
4. Consumer power. Don't tell me that China isn't a capitalist country when their people literally have consumer power, ie the right to choose stuff that they wanted.
5. Economic growth. Don't tell me that China isn't a capitalist country when they literally trade with other countries. USSR tried to avoid such thing and look what happened to them. They stagnated.
It's not pure capitalist as the state controls the economy still, evidenced by Jack Ma recent cases with the central command.
Chinese people are known for one thing, capitalism and trading. We are excellent traders, reaching as far as India and Africa. That is a Chinese characteristic. The ability to trade.
@@edryctan672 these aren't characteristics of capitalism they are just things that exist under capitalism. Such an idiotic way to define capitalism as a certain number of characteristics. Capitalism is when there is private ownership of the means of production and therefore there is a hierarchical system of wealth and power. However private ownership of the means of production can exist under socialism as long as the workers control them through the dictatorship of the proletariat which is democratic centralism. You can't define capitalism as a set few characteristics. The important distinction is that workers aren't in power in China and the bourgeoisie is in power under capitalism. All these things you describe either can or has existed under socialism. Most of these things have existed in most socialist states other than China.
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 Unfortunately, under capitalism, anyone that becomes successful is a bourgeoisie. And we have seen the rise of several of them.
@@daseapickleofjustice7231 Also, the CCP acknowledge the existence of capitalist groups in China. Like I say before, Capitalist is a broad thing, but whatever China is doing is a partial capitalism, as the state controls the economy.
It should be called bureaucratic capitalism straight forward.
First of all, i think everyone needed to know what a socialist economy really looks like without the cold war bias. There are too many simplified version of their system which created the many myth about them and start making up about what is the value of socialism based on that.
But Democracy at work made a very great analysis of how socialism works during the time of Lenin and then how it is connected to China and the Socialism with chinese characteristic: ruclips.net/video/3Tbf2bpgs-E/видео.html

Chinese Gov is completely new regime. It has mixed regime between Socialism and Democracy. I think maybe this is the best regime in the world. 🇲🇳
Right... a Government that limits the freedom of expression. A Government that doesn't allow true religious freedom. A Government that persecutes religious minorities.
@@fnv870 Also a country who lifted millions out of critical poverty. I think to the people who are about to starve to death, freedom isn't really on the top of their priority. I wouldn't say the government is perfect, it does have a lot of flaws, but everyone is focusing on all the negative aspects.
@@richardzhang9317 When you say lifted aren't you forgetting the millions who died because of China's Policy? How convenient.
@@fnv870 I did say it isn't perfect. But you are missing the point here. Before the government millions still died every year due to malnutrition, poor hygiene, disease, war, political instability and the list goes on. We can give them credit that the long list of problems in China was mostly resolved by the government. The government is popular for reasons other than propaganda. If you are dead set on believing that the government is pure evil, then you do you. I just hoped to give you and more nuaced and insightful look into this matter.

National Socialism?
Basically, 'social market economy', a friendly approach of both 'socialism' and 'capitalism'.
it's Socialist* market economy. Social market economy is a contradiction

In conclusion : post deng Chinese “socialism” is literally neoliberal capitalism . And it seems to be working .
Not exactly neoliberal capitalism but still they use a lot of features of capitalism

@L " first off , dont expect anyone to read such a huge passage in the comments lol , this isnt an essay competition . I read the last part of your passage and you seem to be putting blind belief into a system that's increasingly moving away of the things it set out to be just based on a promise . yet the average chinese person wants their kids to study in harvard and oxford , buys louis Vuitton and trades in the shanghai stock market. using capitalism as an excuse to "get rich" means you concede to the capitalists that their system is the only way to make wealth .
@L read basic history dude . the sino soviet split and china's path to capitalism happened while the ussr held enough power , so the fall of ussr isnt a valid excuse . china was closer to the usa than ussr , and thats also why usa stopped recognizing taiwan.
