One of the students hit it right on the nail by saying, "American elections is a lie". Yes, we have the freedom to vote for someone who will do for the oligarchs not the citizens.
Bro, the singer one pointed out some very interesting things: Too much freedom means less freedom in the end. Cuz too much freedom gives the wrong ones power to overcome or to dim other people's freedom. The way we (westerns) vote doesn't represent our interests actually (or he implied it's a fr@ud)
Great interviews!! I like the Sound of Music singer... he's quite knowledgeable in many areas and I loved how he answered your questions, especially when asked to compare both China and US democracy, he answered they are both equally democratic.

All the people of China can vote. They vote for a candidate at village level who then are further elected (or not based on merits) to move on the through the various levels to finally the central (federal) levels. They don't directly elect their president at their personal level. In some countries, you can at the lowest personal level also directly vote/elect the president at central (federal) level. Does the various systems of election the sole criteria to define the right to vote and democracy ? It's still a right to vote or be elected ...
I believe in every society there are more morons than smart people. Given the population size of China, the amount of moron can bring horrible destructive power.
I agree with the singing guy on the subject of election. I believe Mark Twain or Hemingway said that "If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it", and I could not put it any better than that. I am not sure which one of the two said that.
I think the idea of freedom is subjective depending on where you live and your culture. There are some freedoms we have in the West that some countries like China doesn't have. Yet there are freedoms in China that we don't have in the West, such as the safety at night, it's a lot safer to wander the city streets in China whereas in many Western cities it's not that safe especially to walk alone at night. Another example for instance is in the US students in school have to do safety drills regarding a potential shooter incident, yet in the UK that's just unthinkable. We had one school shooting and guns were banned and restricted. Americans would say that's a freedom issue, where in the UK we would say the opposite, children being kept safe is a bigger freedom than the ability to own a gun.
Last times some Taiwanese sourgrape ask you to make an interview with local mainland Chinese, they(TW) are so convinced that mainland chinese will answer the same but look at the student answers? At least, they dont answer "yeah yeah yeah.... 😂".
i live in alberta, i have always preferred the alberta liberal party. but it has never been in power and probably will never be. so for me, voting in a democracy means nothing because the liberal party has not been in power and most likely won't. so for me, if democracy means the right to vote for whoever i want, it is meaningless. what i want is a government based on meritocracy and not populism. love from canada.
Democracy also means right to speak against any govt politician or its scheme...but it's not possible in China...The word Winny the pooh is banned in China as it's related to the president of China....
It impressive because except for one student who is doing Linguistics, all the students are not majoring in English at the University. It is very interesting if you could do similar interviews with a dozen students in your home country. However, the research sample will have to be students who are taking courses in Mandarin in Oxford/Cambridge/Edinburgh universities or at Confucius Institutes.
Great interviews with range of questions with a good selection of students. Nice to see most of these Chinese students speak good enough English; they exude confidence and are friendly!👍👍👍
No matter what kind of freedom it is, you must grasp the "degree". Once it is out of control, there is no freedom at all. For example, in some countries, behavior such as "beating, smashing, and looting" on the streets is excessive, leading to chaos in social security and suffering for ordinary people!
3rd best university? I am sorry, nobody in China think so except themselves! In China, there're well recognized top 2 (PKU and TSU), then about 10 universities claim to be #3 🤣🤣🤣
A majority of Americans believes that owning a gun is essential for survival. To me, that tells you a lot about that country. American style democracy 👎.
every time I see American says "gun can protect us", I just want to laugh. 1. 99.99999% that you won't be able to reach your gun before criminals who want to kill you. 2. if you want to have guns to protect yourself from government, that's impossible. cuz the government has tanks, jets, missiles, drones......and more guns than you. lol
I will explain one thing: Democracy means the government of the ppl, and what we have in west should be called plutocracies, since they dont represent the interest of the ppl, the majority. These plutocracies represent in most of the countries the rule of the big bourgeois families over the worker class. Keep this in mind. Places like Laos, Vietnam or China are far far more democratic that most of the world countries.
Actually, Xi is not a competent leader. He has many flaws and instead of surrounding himself with competent individuals to make up for those flaws, he chose to become a one man government. If something happens to him, China will be paralyzed or become chaotic. The United States on the other hand, if Joe Biden drops dead all of a sudden, life goes on. Because the president only holds one branch of the government, and presidents are very replaceable.
In China you can have a open can of beer and walk down the streets or hang a paper air freshener on your car's rear view mirror. You cannot do that in the US. You can ride a motorcycle without a helmet in China, its an offense in the US.
@@thecomment9489 That's what real freedom is about. In the USA, there is a high probability that you will be shot dead for that, not much different from having a defective taillights on your car!!
Not allowed to open alcohol in public, but homeless do it all the time without any repercussions, because the city knows, they ain't got money to pay fines, but the cops only gives tickets to law biding citizens, that's why US jail system is laughable. Criminals that got arrested 47 times, still get out and do it again.
Oh so the freedom china has is to not wear helmets when riding bikes? What’s next? Freedom of not having seatbelt on when driving? This type of freedom is on another level lmao.
I enjoyed your program so much. After living in the west for so long and I believe these Chinese students dreams are no different from the West. We should do more exchange students so that one day we can see a more united world that can share their work and make a different to this world. We have to promote peace instead of war.
Yep these the things considered as freedom in the West because barbarism and genocidal tendencies is the default state of mind in the West and these things are must for attaining those noble goals. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

in fact , Chinese top two universities is Beijing University and Tsinhua University. But Jiao tong university is not the only one of top threes. Instead, top threes including : Fudan, Jiaotong, Zhejing, Nanjing and Keda. Every year , around 700 million student attend examination for university enrollment. so, 0.1% (around 7000 students went to Beijing University and Tsinhua) , so top 0.2-0.3% students were recruited by top three universities (5).
Is wrong the hypothesis that all the best students go to the top 1 university, the following to the top 2 and so on. The best students are not distributed among universities in such a simple way. I take your numbers as example to explain: the number of students of the top 2 universities each year is equal to the number of top 0.1% students in the country, it does not result in all students of these top 2 being among the top 0.1%. Because some even many of the top 0.1% go to other universities. Furthermore an average major in a top university may well recruit at a lower level than a popular major in a average university. It can only be stated that the average student level of a major in an university is normally higher than the one in a less ranked university.@@brannywu680
To get into the top two universities eg Peking university and Tsinghua university, one has to be in top 0.0047% nation wide to have a chance, it is far more difficult to get into than any other universities.
US has zero democracy !!!! Don’t confuse PROCEDURAL democracy with POLICY democracy..Procedural represents everyone’s votes and it represents the people of that district and votes os counted..even here US has shortcomings as districts are drawn by winning party and they draw boundaries that benefit them..but by and large US has Procedural democracy, while in China only the Communist Party members can vote. BUT US has almost no Policy democracy as the politicians create policies that benefit the special interest groups that fund their political campaigns. Whole in China, the policies are very democratic as the CPC enacts policies that benefit the vast majority of the people and not the elites or special interest groups.
Do you have massive homelessness like US and UK ?. Do you have massive shooting like US ? Do you have massive looting like US and UK ? so US and UK are freedom countries hahahaha
Yes randomly pick, except a couple friends, but i didn’t tell them the questions beforehand. You can see in the video i had to cut a bit because there were many “ummms” and thinking haha
I am Chinese and I can tell you very clearly that there is no freedom of speech in China! I admit that China's big cities are very safe and the crime rate is very low, but it is a very dangerous thing to praise China's system just because China's big cities are safe. The reason why China is safe is because China is a dictatorial country, and almost all dictatorial countries in the world have good public security, because these countries are equivalent to a prison, the implementation of prison management, public security is of course good. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, these countries are all democracies, but their security is no worse than China, or even better than China. Security in China's smaller cities still needs improvement. Security in every country can be improved! But dictatorships are hard to change! There is no freedom of speech or freedom of the press on the Internet in China, and Chinese laws are very opaque and not open. In China, workers are often delayed and underpaid, but workers do not have the right to strike, and information about workers asking for pay is deleted from the Internet, and people cannot criticize the government. What I want you to know is not to be fooled by the surface of China.
I agree they have a point about "more freedom" meaning "you can walk the street at night in safety". Yes, I don't have that freedom in America.

西方选举自由真是个最大的笑话😂😂😂,资本家资助竞选人,竞选成功后再为资本家服务,每一届政府代表不同的利益,每一届政府有不同的战略目标,这导致本届政府没完成的事情到了下一届政府又变成其他选择了,真是可笑😂😂。而我们的国家拥有长远的目标,每一届政府都在为同一个目标奋斗。我们享有充分的自由,我可以凌晨三点钟在大街上独自喝酒,而你们不行,我们可以批评我们的政府做的不好而不被逮捕,我们可以公开支持以色列或者巴勒斯坦而不受影响。我们的历史课本里有很多反抗统治阶级的事例,从小告诉我们如果政府腐败无能我们就该推翻它。西方的平民面对压迫想的是加入压迫者,成为他们的一员,而我们的老百姓面对压迫考虑的是打倒压迫者,让老百姓做主人,我想这就是我们思想里的自由。另外,我们的自由是有边界的,那就是你的自由不能影响了别人的自由。
