As a US worker, I've been fed the pablum of the CIA talking points all my life, and it took me awhile to see it. Now that I do, I've been researching what's happening in China, and I'm so impressed! You ended poverty for God's sake! You grow fruit trees in the desert! I encourage my fellows to look at China differently. We, the working class are very interested in changing how the US operates. I think it'll be awhile, but I believe we'll get it done.

@@edward6297 I get my information from news media and people across the world. Including Chinese media outlets. Yes, I have Chinese friends. No, I have not been to China. Being to a country is not indicative of knowing about a country. The reason I have not been to China is also thanks to your government making it difficult for tourists. I have been to many places across the world including in Asia. These places include South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan. So I am not some kind of uncultured being. Just like I criticize my own government for its faults I will do the same about an entity that is a threat to my quality of living and family.
@@dennisp8520 Thanks for the answer. Listening both sides of an argument makes one smarter, I believe. It clear to me China has been misunderstood and mistaken by the West, especially USA. Of course, China should take some responsibility for that. However, China has been around for thousands of years. Its history shows it is not an aggressive civilization. We believe in accommodating differences and seeking understanding, being modest and open-minded like a sea accepting all in-flowing waters no matter its origins. There is a lot about our core beliefs and philosophies that I wish to communicate to you. World peace and harmony is Chinese's main goal as written in major Chinese classic books.
@Christina Bai I am planning to go to China with a group of friends sometime in the coming years. First though I want to see Japan. I do want to see China badly though the diverse food and nature looks amazing.
Historically The West has always been envious of China's stupendous growth and self-sufficiency. It can never accept that an Asian country could be doing so well, and maybe better than them! So it has been trying to contain China in various ways (remember the Opium War?) from time immemorial, to no avail.
Mr Jacques, in short US attitude towards China is - condescension. Agree on that. You are right that China is a perceived threat by the US. It dawned on them that China is fast overtaking them as the world's largest economic powerhouse, and its military capability, land, sea & air, to protect itself & its assets, investments & partners is quite formidable & rapid. The US does not see that any apparent threat that China poses to American interests is really self-inflicted. It just does not like playing second fiddle!
Wrong. US attitude towards China isn't condescension, it's naivety. It has been long thought that helping improving China's economic standing would bring about peaceful, organic democracy. That was the thought of Clinton, Bush and Obama -- they all let China get away with economic murder to the US and corporate America was on board because they could move manufacturing to China to lower cost and also sell goods to the Chinese -- all to the detriment of US workers and middle class. It is not a negative reflection of the Chinese citizens, who are viewed as smart and hard working. However, the Chicom government is viewed and dangerous and corrupt -- and rightfully so and our leaders were to naive to figure that out till it was too late.
@Law Yoyo Good question. Most Americans are hard working, but there are many who are lazy. I blame the social welfare system for providing too much safety net.

The US is simultaneously trying to contain both China and Russia growing sphere of influence whereas China and Russia are focussing their state energies on reducing the West's influence. There is currently much political disruption in the USA and England which leads to poor decision making with regards to China at least.
I do not want to sound dark but what the Germans feared most in World War II was fighting a two front war against the West and Russia at the same time. There are a lot of historical similarities to what the USA is trying to do now plus a President who is a very poor Commander in chief.
COVID is a biological weapon and what was true before COVID is not true now. It will take much longer if ever for China to rule the world. If Xi died and new open policies adopted maybe, their has been one attempt on his life. This is true despite wall street traitors and Communist sympathizers.
In 2002, a then friend told me that China will rise up 10 to 15 years later and replace the imperialist with something more friendly. And we should start to get to know China, so that we know what‘ll come. He was right.
Excessive military investment is the worst return for a country. One reason why Britain had to let go of all its colonies.... Too expensive. American military is also too expensive!
The problem is not only that it is expensive, but more importantly, when you use war to bring disasters to other countries, but when many people die because of your war, can you feel at ease? Can you escape the trial of conscience? The question is for the Americans.
China has a lot of friends in the West! Please don't generalize or confuse the USA with the West. The USA is marginalized and currently just don't have the moral compass to be a world leader regarding international challenges and current developments.

More than a year later, this conversation is even more interesting and poignant. It shows how deep the misunderstanding is now tha the West hasn't even begin to try to understand but has rathered doubled down on its ignorance.
Back in 3000 something years ago, the country had already set rules starting from individuals within a family their roles and responsibilities then to the society of the commons all the way to the leaders as a management system for governance.
Very informative video, and great explanation by Prof Martin Jacques. He raises a great point in that the self-centric way that Westerners typically view non-western countries, through the lens of western values, leads to their misunderstandings. "These people do not match up to my values that I consider universal and superior, therefore they are weird/uncivilised/undeveloped". In this way it is particularly evident in media that POC only gain representation when they follow a western mindset and culture. The spread of this ideology along with Christianity wishes to dominate the whole world and wash out local culture. But there's a force that can challenge this idea of there being One Right Way - and that's China.

When China was strong, all the small countries around it thrived and existed. When China was weak, all the small countries around it was invaded and annexed by aggressive power and you have never heard of it today. 1) Kingdom of Tuva, annexed by Russia, 2) Kingdom of Ryukyu, annexed by Japan. 3) Kingdom of Sikkkim, annexed by India (not a power but a shithole but nevertheless is a land grabber).
Tibet annexed by China. India is the upcoming superpower whether you like it or not, Indian peoples talents and hardwork is recognized all over the world.

Stop your expansion ideology or you too would end up like the imperial and colonial powers of the past be it Japan or British. Show respect or else your ego is gonna get a big blow from India.
@@eklavya83 Tibet was annexed all right, by India. At least part of Tibet. In 1951, four years after the British Raj has left, India invaded and annexed South Tibet. South Tibet includes Tawang, birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to a four hundred years old Tibetan monastery. In 1987 India renamed South Tibet to the so called Arunachal Pradesh in an attempt to fool the world that it is part of India. Since 2009 South Tibet is officially recognized by the UN as a disputed territory. Today South Tibet is restless and the people there are seething with anger and India knows it. This is the reason AFSPA is imposed on South Tibet AFSPA (Armed Force Special Power Act) gives the state the power to detain or kill anyone with impunity. It is imposed on area India deemed disturbed, such as South Tibet and Kashmir. But South Tibet is hardly the only land grab India grabbed from its neighbors.

Over the years many banks had been penalised for sanction violations, however I do not recall that an individual has been arrested specifically to answer to the charges and in the case of HUAWEI, the daughter of the owner. A big company with 180,000 employees
Col C oh actually there was a poor French executive of Alstom, who had been set up by US FBI for accusing this French guy, in relation to bribery case in selling Alstom’s steam turbine (key part of power station) in Indonesia. Unfortunately I cannot recall the name of French executive, and he was put in prison somewhere near New York, until the department of steam turbine was forced by US government to GE. How clever GE and US federal government are in setting up a false accusation case against a foreigner (as a high rank executive at Alston) and just to take advantage of intellectual property of French-designed high efficiency steam turbine from Alstom!
@@CuriousSoulSimpleMind Hi, didn't know that. My comment was spontaneous with a independent view :) no doing much research. However a title of 'Why does the US fail to understand China?' seems more appropriate
She personally lied to the banks. There are many charges, the sanction charges are against Huawei, but she is charged with fraud and obstruction of justice I believe. When people personally break the law, they are charged. Sanction violations are done by the company as a whole, so it is the company that is charged. Its not because of who she is, but for what she did.

Lui Xin, I like professionalism, your deep understanding of the issues at hand and your expert talent of getting the most out of your interviwee. This time I was a bit disappointed. First it can be misleading to leave the analysis at the level of the West not understanding China. The West understands China well enough to know that it is the most serious threat to its colonial history that has lasted over the last three centuries. Second, the West has developed its ideological tools and indoctrinated world public opinion to believe its democratic fairy tale. Even if China started now to develop an alternative narrative (liberation ideology for example) it would take it several years to learn, master and sell its story to the rest of the world. China is the most serious threat to the western hegemony and the West will use every truth, lies, rumours and , yes, weapons. Historical cilivizational shifts used to be settled with swords or flint rifles. Now, we have cyber warfare and nuclear weapons. Good luck in managing the transition.
this journalist should have been a spokesman for the Chinese government. she is very nationalist and proud Chinese. I have never seen a chinses women love her country like her.
Your point being? And i have never seen an american woman so patriotic, biased and condescending like trash regan, just saying. No wonder why she already is an unofficial spokesperson of dear mr trump.

China is strong and doing good to other poor countries with Belt and Road project.Every countries around the World can do trade and prosper in future ,

China right now looks like Ghost in the shell: cyberpunkish style. that American man want china to start conquering during the era of peace. Tips: do not awake the sleeping dragon, because we know how Chinese people can turn off their emotion.
I look forward to the gradual demise of the tribal philosophies of the Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam and the rise in the more inclusive and peaceful philosophies of Confucius and Buddhism which are more suitable for a global community.
Mark Green western missionaries are invading Asia like plague converting all poor people into Christ luring with free education, health etc which has caused inter divisions among Asian ppl. These missionaries have strong financial backing ,the seed has been already been planted and the virus is alive growing. However since traditional, culture values are too strong to be uprooted in Asia so Christians are still minority. Why save us with faith in exchange? Why destroy our civilisation?
Mark Green . the underlying values for later Chinese Buddhism n Confucianism has got everything to do with ancient Taoism (school of philosophy) (totally mistranslated for mainstream understanding ...).... which in my opinion, is closely related (reflected) to ancient Kabbalah, gnostic view/philosophy of this perceived realities.... I didn’t study about Abrahamic and Mesopotamian nor other ancient believes, so my comment here only represent my limited exposure to what else out there .... to know more about humanity and commonalities....
Mark Green I can’t say the philosophies are tribal ... I can see that the translation of the philosophies are superficial and elementary just, may be, perfect for our then elementary minds.... I can see it’s more than mere previous translation we need now to revise... it is also the adaptability n the skill of our ‘perception’ change that will propel a different comprehension, thus a new translational transmission, for the present main stream upgrading .... what do you think ? They (the so called religions- of both extremes ) are from the same thing when I look deep enough, at this stage.
@@tengtengkleiner2795 - The thread that continued through Judaism to Christianity to Islam gave non-believers the following options. 1. Convert to the religion or, if not 2. Agree to be dominated by believers or, if not 3. Be killed. That is not to say that all individual followers of those Abrahamic religions shared in such an attitude but it was the attitude of the governments where there was a state sponsored Abrahamic religion.
@@anurag3269 - Although Buddhism originated in India, I wouldn't call it alien to China is it was more accepted by the Chinese population, in combination with Taoism, than it was by the Indian population where Hinduism still prevails as the dominant religion. In any event, my original comment still stands in that the Chinese culture is historically more peaceful than the cultures where Abrahamic religions were predominant. Atheism actually fits in well with such a culture as atheists tend to be non-tribal and concerned for the well being of all people (Humanism) as opposed to only those within their own religious group, atheism not being a philosophy at all.

China needs to think and act on its own path and interest. It doesn't need to serve or live up to any book title; if it must, it actually already has one called "Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation". That theme is explicitly not: challenge and replace USA. $13 trillion GDP and 1.3 billion people need the all important Chinese devotion of stability and not placed in a chess game for one academic's amusement. It may be right that Germany was a rising power right before WWII and GB was a declining empire...but that didn't stop them both from all that destruction. Rising/declining is just a differential; the true integral is the actual lives of people living in the area between the lines.
Leehlebron Leehlebron it actually doing pretty good lol. USA isn’t the entire world. In fact only 1 percent of the world population live In USA . So get over your arrogance and get a bit cultured. UAE, Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and many other Asian countries have multi billions contracts with Huawei. Huawei products have taken over Asia, Latin America and Africa and they are the most populated and biggest contents on earth
China does not want to be the biggest military and is not even in any competition against America. The US and other western political countries try and grow through imperialism which is eating every others cake to become bigger but China wants to grow by making the cake bigger and then there will be enough for everyone. China's way is unstoppable because it's own growth is actually growing other nation's economies as they share resources and investing in infrastructure. The US has no control over this and can't control it and is why they are trying to push China down but China will continue to grow and the US is powerless because they only understand economic growth through wars where China spends it's money on growth and not wars.
As Empire USA is over $3 trillion in debt to China, as wealth is the only standard for power and glory, as government is nothing more than the organized morality of society, allowing the billionaires that rule USA and China to control the relationship between the two nations based only on the trade deficit, this has to be the height of pride. For wealth is the property we own above what is needed for a comfortable life. And in this respect, since the beginning of civilization the more intelligent upper-half of society has hoarded all of the land, wealth and political power. Which begs the question, is this the grand destiny of man, to be an intelligence dictatorship made extinct by global warming?
Why China knows the West better as opposed to West knowing well of the Chinese ? 1. China has history dated back to 5000 years, yet in most western schools there are hardly contents presented as educational kits for every Western students to know the rise and fall of Chinese empire, its humiliation and colonization by the West etc..... 2. To understand China, westerners need to understand how and what they had done to the Chinese during the period prior to WWI. Without knowing the fine details leading to those historical settings, you will never understand what makes China revival over the last 40 years and expected to grow in next 100 years onward.
trade deficit. US companies face bigger taxes, import duties, they have to establish joint ventures to operate in china and some industries are not allowed to enter. Moreover China is controls yuan exchange rate. US started to get afraid because they are losing their competetive edge. Rapid economic developmet facillitated scientific and technological advancements. China is catching up. They are not trying to completely prevent or contain Chinese economic development. Because It's impossible. I would rather say US after realizing that China is a real competitor who can not only produce but also innovate. All that they are trying to do right now is to provide more equal opportunities for their companies. So at least they have some sort of equality in the market. While China is also correct to defend their interests. We already know what can happen if you agree to the pressure. Japanese "Plaza accord" is a good example. While Japan experienced a "lost decade" China can experience something even more detrimental than that.

I am refering to China, Japan, Korea, Europe including Russia, North and South America and Australia. The people living in these areas dress very much the same. They cut their hair very much the same. The food they eat might be prepared differently but basically is the same stuff. Noodles, pasta, patatoes, meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. All these people know the difference between hate and love. All they also know the difference between Hot War and Trade War. All that is needed is common sense and good will, For World Peace and Brootherhood a Slavic Canadian.
However the habits and mindset are totally different between the east and the west. West must make an effort to understand the other parts of the world better to eliminate the biased view and misunderstanding, likewise the Asians shall learn more about western culture and philosophy to understand the west better.
One glaring aspect that is not raised in this interview but is certainly I think pertinent, the contrast between the much touted 'Christian' values of the West in contrast with the various religious/philosophical traditions that have shaped China over the last three and half to four thousand years. Most Westerners are aware that five hundred years BC, all the doctrines of Christianity except two were known to the Chinese; these exception are 1) there is no paradise to look forward to after death and 2) on the other hand neither is there a hell to burn 'sinners'. LOVE of one's neighbor with no strings attached in this life because this IS IT.
Xi should hold a tv press conference remind the Chinese people that they are a 5000 yr old civilization that has survived everything they’ve had to overcome. Then the next morning abruptly halt ALL exports to the US. Then invite all western journalist to record his message to the US: when president trump and his administration is done playing trade games and is serious about today’s global economic, commerce cooperation, we will sit down and talk about opening up trade again, until then China will do what it needs to do for its own interest and continue to be an open partner to the rest of the world. If trump thinks he can take down Huawei or take down China, Then China should just flex its muscle, show it can take down apple, and other tech companies, Amazon, Walmart, vehicle parts, shipping and trucking, UPS, and all the ripples those industries would hurt. Unemployment would rise, bank loan defaults, Wall Street crash... then let’s see how popular trump’s ignorant ego really is
China needs to target certain usa companies or certain usa government weak points ,so as to ensure maximum damage to the usa government and minimum damage to China
5000 years? I thought The Chinese revolution destroyed religious & historical books. That's like saying Egyptians are still the Pharos of Egypt. No they're not that civilization anymore, it is their history though.
Win loss and win win based relations are really the main difference. Socialism prevent colonialism because these are entirely opposite Concept of societies.
The US attitude towards China has nothing to do understanding or not understanding China. It has everything to do it growing and stronger China. That the US see as a threat to its primacy, dominance and hegemony that it currently has over the world. It sees as the US's manifest destiny to rule the world and that its American Exceptionalism allow it to do as it please, even to the detriment of everyone else. So the animosity and toxic views of the US against China has no element of misunderstanding, but a toxic fear that China will overtake the US powers, primacy and authority.
Liu Xin, I suggest a topic "Why do the Oversea Chinese fail to understand China?" It's not just the West. The fact is China is just like North Korea until recently. (e.g. My father was imprisoned for being an intellectual). You sound like you are from a privileged class that failed to understand the cruelty of the Cultural Revolution and the deceptions of the Communist Party. It'll take a lot for China to prove that she is no longer mean and deceptive like that, or has any tendency to regress. With a great deal of pain and bad memories, we pray for a better China. Yes, visiting China does help.
Very beautiful presentation by Liu Xin. Martin Jacques’s understanding of China is impressive.
As a US worker, I've been fed the pablum of the CIA talking points all my life, and it took me awhile to see it. Now that I do, I've been researching what's happening in China, and I'm so impressed! You ended poverty for God's sake! You grow fruit trees in the desert! I encourage my fellows to look at China differently. We, the working class are very interested in changing how the US operates. I think it'll be awhile, but I believe we'll get it done.

Indeed China is doing great things in the African continent much more and better than the western powers ever did through out centuries! China build roads, hospitals, schools in Africa USA, UK, France only brings armed conflicts and military bases to the continent.

The west didn't even bother understanding the middle east or any part of Americas. You honestly think they'd even make an effort?
Most people in the West doesn't even bother to understand their own Indigenous Aboriginal/Indian Communities or their own Migrant Communities. Since, they don't even bother with people living in their own countries why would they even give a thought to foreigners living overseas?
lol
China still holds some naïve idea of so called West. but, it will not last long, as Trump is destroying the US
Has anyone watch TV show ? that 90% Americans almost know nothing about the world in geography, economic, and politic, but drugs, guns, and brand names of commercials.. Including current Twitter President and his infamous wrongly spelling that reflect his inner of uncertainty . The genetic background affect those who never know about things change surround them, including today China and Chinese people or don't like update the memories if they storied the old day 's memories; addicts' side effects.
@Francisco Araneta See, you seems like Mr.Trump doesn't know about what he was or is talking about either involved others and himself...90% is a relative and possible ratio, while 100% would not be or always not be rational for mankind, excepting you like measure microbial world in 100%...for example..Alaska formal governor Sarah Palin thinks she has international insight because she can see Russia in her backyard...She can represents a state, and the President can represent the U.S., aren't they? even though he maximally can represent in 49% .So, excuse me, I adjust my opinion that is not right American with 90% are naive, rather than 45% are , but 45% are bias; as you think that 100% Chinese know nothing which it never can be true. No matter what you are going to say more.
Why don't we all just forget about who is going to be no.1 in the world and concentrate on making this planet the best in the universe!
Only Western countries and their media are pushing that bullshit of no. 1

Liu Xin conducts her program with ease and her journalistic skillz are definitely on 'point'.
A way too much in relation to admirable Dr. Martin Jacques
Ms.Liu Xin is well versed specially the command of the English language, she is full of optimism with the way China is to the rest of the world. It is what being an able to them that are able as well, relative to individuals, her style and manner of approach is timely, she is one of the best reporter, presenter of news these days.
Liu Xin has such an amazing presence. Always a pleasure to listen to. And of course, Martin Jacques has such an understanding.
Chinese culture is much more inclusive, they accept both western and eastern culture. The West has never bother to see other cultures as equal, thus dont see the need to understand others, and now they are in for a huge shock as an eastern economy is surging so fast.
Martin is a wise man who sees the truth and reality.
No betrays his own roots - which is the West...where he came from.. An Asian person - will never say something like this .....-- there is a death penalty on those words.....you will be ruined for life .....Look at the face of the female presenter ...C h does not prefer to stay home at all....
It is always great to listen to Martin Jacques.
Thank you Dr.Martin Jacques for your effort and interest in Chinese studies which many of your counterparts are swimming in the opposite direction.
Many Chinese opinion weibou: I would rather be poor then reliant on someone else for economic success, now is time for China to become an independent country
I think China is an independent country. We need your goods as much also.
Mr Jacques has deep insight. I respect u, Sir, for trying to understand d Other.
The Americans have got to get their act together, first, by being less confrontational and hostile to other countries, such as China. Respect breeds respect and contempt breeds contempt.
Lol China has been banning the West for years. China made a enemy of its own neighbors in the East. The CCP knows exactly what it's doing.
@@dennisp8520 Have you been to China? Where did you get your information about China? Do you have any Chinese friends?
@@edward6297 I get my information from news media and people across the world. Including Chinese media outlets. Yes, I have Chinese friends. No, I have not been to China. Being to a country is not indicative of knowing about a country.
The reason I have not been to China is also thanks to your government making it difficult for tourists. I have been to many places across the world including in Asia. These places include South Korea, Thailand, and Taiwan. So I am not some kind of uncultured being. Just like I criticize my own government for its faults I will do the same about an entity that is a threat to my quality of living and family.
@@dennisp8520 Thanks for the answer. Listening both sides of an argument makes one smarter, I believe. It clear to me China has been misunderstood and mistaken by the West, especially USA. Of course, China should take some responsibility for that. However, China has been around for thousands of years. Its history shows it is not an aggressive civilization. We believe in accommodating differences and seeking understanding, being modest and open-minded like a sea accepting all in-flowing waters no matter its origins. There is a lot about our core beliefs and philosophies that I wish to communicate to you. World peace and harmony is Chinese's main goal as written in major Chinese classic books.
@Christina Bai I am planning to go to China with a group of friends sometime in the coming years. First though I want to see Japan. I do want to see China badly though the diverse food and nature looks amazing.
Historically The West has always been envious of China's stupendous growth and self-sufficiency. It can never accept that an Asian country could be doing so well, and maybe better than them! So it has been trying to contain China in various ways (remember the Opium War?) from time immemorial, to no avail.
Mr Jacques, in short US attitude towards China is - condescension. Agree on that.
You are right that China is a perceived threat by the US. It dawned on them that China is fast overtaking them as the world's largest economic powerhouse, and its military capability, land, sea & air, to protect itself & its assets, investments & partners is quite formidable & rapid. The US does not see that any apparent threat that China poses to American interests is really self-inflicted. It just does not like playing second fiddle!
Wrong. US attitude towards China isn't condescension, it's naivety. It has been long thought that helping improving China's economic standing would bring about peaceful, organic democracy. That was the thought of Clinton, Bush and Obama -- they all let China get away with economic murder to the US and corporate America was on board because they could move manufacturing to China to lower cost and also sell goods to the Chinese -- all to the detriment of US workers and middle class. It is not a negative reflection of the Chinese citizens, who are viewed as smart and hard working. However, the Chicom government is viewed and dangerous and corrupt -- and rightfully so and our leaders were to naive to figure that out till it was too late.
@Law Yoyo Good question. Most Americans are hard working, but there are many who are lazy. I blame the social welfare system for providing too much safety net.
@Law Yoyo Why want you be s slave. Why want you all work hard to live in a overpopulated world with less resources as for 100 years? And the cost of living is much higher.

The US is simultaneously trying to contain both China and Russia growing sphere of influence whereas China and Russia are focussing their state energies on reducing the West's influence.
There is currently much political disruption in the USA and England which leads to poor decision making with regards to China at least.
I do not want to sound dark but what the Germans feared most in World War II was fighting a two front war against the West and Russia at the same time. There are a lot of historical similarities to what the USA is trying to do now plus a President who is a very poor Commander in chief.

COVID is a biological weapon and what was true before COVID is not true now. It will take much longer if ever for China to rule the world. If Xi died and new open policies adopted maybe, their has been one attempt on his life. This is true despite wall street traitors and Communist sympathizers.
In 2002, a then friend told me that China will rise up 10 to 15 years later and replace the imperialist with something more friendly. And we should start to get to know China, so that we know what‘ll come. He was right.
China will only make slaves.
Excessive military investment is the worst return for a country. One reason why Britain had to let go of all its colonies.... Too expensive. American military is also too expensive!
The problem is not only that it is expensive, but more importantly, when you use war to bring disasters to other countries, but when many people die because of your war, can you feel at ease? Can you escape the trial of conscience? The question is for the Americans.
@robert alexander ho: You cluelessly walked over "...all ots colonies". Meditate over this; I'm sure you will get a deeper understanding.
I just love Liu Xin her British English accent. Of course I think the British accent sounds really elegant, distinctive and intelligent.
China has a lot of friends in the West! Please don't generalize or confuse the USA with the West. The USA is marginalized and currently just don't have the moral compass to be a world leader regarding international challenges and current developments.
Precisely.

Luí always make interesting interviews bringing us the Chinese point of view, and help us to understand their economy's and culture.
Back in 3000 something years ago, the country had already set rules starting from individuals within a family their roles and responsibilities then to the society of the commons all the way to the leaders as a management system for governance.
If I were Trump, I would offer Martin Jacques a senior position to advise the president in US policy on China.
Very informative video, and great explanation by Prof Martin Jacques. He raises a great point in that the self-centric way that Westerners typically view non-western countries, through the lens of western values, leads to their misunderstandings. "These people do not match up to my values that I consider universal and superior, therefore they are weird/uncivilised/undeveloped". In this way it is particularly evident in media that POC only gain representation when they follow a western mindset and culture. The spread of this ideology along with Christianity wishes to dominate the whole world and wash out local culture. But there's a force that can challenge this idea of there being One Right Way - and that's China.
Most of us are able to discern that the dissent towards china is mainly directed at it's undeniably corrupt government.

2) Kingdom of Ryukyu, annexed by Japan.
3) Kingdom of Sikkkim, annexed by India (not a power but a shithole but nevertheless is a land grabber).

very good point
Rightly or wrongly it's historically correct!
Tibet annexed by China. India is the upcoming superpower whether you like it or not, Indian peoples talents and hardwork is recognized all over the world. You racist piece of shit's propaganda ain;t gonna stop India's rise. China and India both ancient Civilization states. Tibet was always a buffer zone between China and India which was annexed by China. Stop your expansion ideology or you too would end up like the imperial and colonial powers of the past be it Japan or British. Show respect or else your ego is gonna get a big blow from India.
@@eklavya83 Tibet was annexed all right, by India. At least part of Tibet. In 1951, four years after the British Raj has left, India invaded and annexed South Tibet. South Tibet includes Tawang, birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to a four hundred years old Tibetan monastery. In 1987 India renamed South Tibet to the so called Arunachal Pradesh in an attempt to fool the world that it is part of India. Since 2009 South Tibet is officially recognized by the UN as a disputed territory.
Today South Tibet is restless and the people there are seething with anger and India knows it. This is the reason AFSPA is imposed on South Tibet AFSPA (Armed Force Special Power Act) gives the state the power to detain or kill anyone with impunity. It is imposed on area India deemed disturbed, such as South Tibet and Kashmir. But South Tibet is hardly the only land grab India grabbed from its neighbors.

I totally agree with this gentle man.
Over the years many banks had been penalised for sanction violations, however I do not recall that an individual has been arrested specifically to answer to the charges and in the case of HUAWEI, the daughter of the owner. A big company with 180,000 employees
Col C oh actually there was a poor French executive of Alstom, who had been set up by US FBI for accusing this French guy, in relation to bribery case in selling Alstom’s steam turbine (key part of power station) in Indonesia. Unfortunately I cannot recall the name of French executive, and he was put in prison somewhere near New York, until the department of steam turbine was forced by US government to GE. How clever GE and US federal government are in setting up a false accusation case against a foreigner (as a high rank executive at Alston) and just to take advantage of intellectual property of French-designed high efficiency steam turbine from Alstom!
@@CuriousSoulSimpleMind Hi, didn't know that. My comment was spontaneous with a independent view :) no doing much research. However a title of 'Why does the US fail to understand China?' seems more appropriate
Col C im sure by now you already know that the ex alstom executive wrote a book called “american trap” which details this event.
She personally lied to the banks. There are many charges, the sanction charges are against Huawei, but she is charged with fraud and obstruction of justice I believe. When people personally break the law, they are charged. Sanction violations are done by the company as a whole, so it is the company that is charged. Its not because of who she is, but for what she did.
Listening both sides of an argument makes one smarter, I believe. It clear to me China has been misunderstood and mistaken by the West, especially USA. Of course, China should take some responsibility for that. However, China has been around for thousands of years. Its history shows it is not an aggressive civilization.

They understand , they just don’t liked it that they cannot control it
It is the character of the people that made China the number 1 economic power. It is not the form of government. The Chinese people can excel in any form of government. They do not need to do it militarily, by political comments, or talking badly about the other countries.

Good interview and topic.
I like what he said.
Every time she interrupted him I wished she didn't. Very intelligent guy.
She has to coordinate her timing of each topic!
Western media has unchanged mindset concerning China and to understand China they need to change their minds and change their mindsets
Well done 👍 keep it up 💪. lots of love and blessings from Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Chinese will be the super power beyond there imagination
Ashfaq Alam .... China a super-power of raping nations and stealing land oil and resources.
Thanks but no thanks.
From mining, to power plants, to deep sea exploration, to biotech etc etc are all western inventions, the narrative of china being a superpower is so to give the ccp face, and the west accepts this. If china wasn't usa bitch, why do they keep accepting usd printed out of nothing?
@@JC-br1nm they are still a developing country, revisit your comment 2-3 decades from now and find out how wrong you are. It actually might not even take 2-3 decades due to covid 19 lmao.
This professor is right.
I live in Denmark and we very much respect China.
We would like to learn about Chinese culture.
China has its law and regulations And of course you have to comply with that when you are in China.
But likewise, Chinese people must keep Denmark law and rules when they are in Denmark and not try to change it
.
We have free freedom of speech in Denmark.
I think open discussion is good and good diplomacy
Dallas Texas needs to connect to China's Belt and Road Initiative. Long live China!
@Jamie Gray HAHAHAHA!
Austin TX here with you on that. Maybe we need to secede.
We are tired of individuals...We now have hope of collectivity. Thanks to China. There is a shift in mentality...No wars, but inclusive economic participation of all. Viva China Viva. Proudly South African
GOD BLESS CHINA
THEY HAVE NO GOD; only "money god"
Lui Xin,
I like professionalism, your deep understanding of the issues at hand and your expert talent of getting the most out of your interviwee. This time I was a bit disappointed. First it can be misleading to leave the analysis at the level of the West not understanding China. The West understands China well enough to know that it is the most serious threat to its colonial history that has lasted over the last three centuries. Second, the West has developed its ideological tools and indoctrinated world public opinion to believe its democratic fairy tale. Even if China started now to develop an alternative narrative (liberation ideology for example) it would take it several years to learn, master and sell its story to the rest of the world. China is the most serious threat to the western hegemony and the West will use every truth, lies, rumours and , yes, weapons. Historical cilivizational shifts used to be settled with swords or flint rifles. Now, we have cyber warfare and nuclear weapons. Good luck in managing the transition.
中国，加油加油！

Hi ,who is in Xi'an
@@kanweiwu7025 I want to make it very clear that CCP is not the same as the a nation which led by CCP. You'd better think before talk.
this journalist should have been a spokesman for the Chinese government. she is very nationalist and proud Chinese. I have never seen a chinses women love her country like her.
It is hard not to side with china. Even for me.
babicare emanuel I am sure lots of Chinese women in her generation love their country like that.
Your point being? And i have never seen an american woman so patriotic, biased and condescending like trash regan, just saying. No wonder why she already is an unofficial spokesperson of dear mr trump.
You would be surprised that how many chinese people feel the same way about china as lui xin does….the answer is def more than 1 billion.
Lu Xin should not asked about Trump, let the professor speaking for himself. Let him to speak himself and learn from his point of view and know more about, other western people looking at us.
油管在于管啊，管理的管，只有反共的言论自由而已。
Exactly to the point. Great work Liu Xin.
China is strong and doing good to other poor countries with Belt and Road project.Every countries around the World can do trade and prosper in future ,
It is a win -win situation, instead of pumping more money into military and create a nuclear weapon as a ray beam.Things that can kill a whole society : Malaria,air pollution, Ray beam, nuclear bomb, ethnic mixing. China right now looks like Ghost in the shell: cyberpunkish style.
that American man want china to start conquering during the era of peace. Tips: do not awake the sleeping dragon, because we know how Chinese people can turn off their emotion.

Leo Lee ： 毛主席说得好： 就是强权政治！
I look forward to the gradual demise of the tribal philosophies of the Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam and the rise in the more inclusive and peaceful philosophies of Confucius and Buddhism which are more suitable for a global community.
Mark Green western missionaries are invading Asia like plague converting all poor people into Christ luring with free education, health etc which has caused inter divisions among Asian ppl. These missionaries have strong financial backing ,the seed has been already been planted and the virus is alive growing. However since traditional, culture values are too strong to be uprooted in Asia so Christians are still minority. Why save us with faith in exchange? Why destroy our civilisation?
Mark Green . the underlying values for later Chinese Buddhism n Confucianism has got everything to do with ancient Taoism (school of philosophy) (totally mistranslated for mainstream understanding ...).... which in my opinion, is closely related (reflected) to ancient Kabbalah, gnostic view/philosophy of this perceived realities.... I didn’t study about Abrahamic and Mesopotamian nor other ancient believes, so my comment here only represent my limited exposure to what else out there .... to know more about humanity and commonalities....
Mark Green I can’t say the philosophies are tribal ... I can see that the translation of the philosophies are superficial and elementary just, may be, perfect for our then elementary minds.... I can see it’s more than mere previous translation we need now to revise... it is also the adaptability n the skill of our ‘perception’ change that will propel a different comprehension, thus a new translational transmission, for the present main stream upgrading .... what do you think ? They (the so called religions- of both extremes ) are from the same thing when I look deep enough, at this stage.
@@tengtengkleiner2795 - The thread that continued through Judaism to Christianity to Islam gave non-believers the following options.
1. Convert to the religion or, if not
2. Agree to be dominated by believers or, if not
3. Be killed.
That is not to say that all individual followers of those Abrahamic religions shared in such an attitude but it was the attitude of the governments where there was a state sponsored Abrahamic religion.
@@anurag3269 - Although Buddhism originated in India, I wouldn't call it alien to China is it was more accepted by the Chinese population, in combination with Taoism, than it was by the Indian population where Hinduism still prevails as the dominant religion. In any event, my original comment still stands in that the Chinese culture is historically more peaceful than the cultures where Abrahamic religions were predominant. Atheism actually fits in well with such a culture as atheists tend to be non-tribal and concerned for the well being of all people (Humanism) as opposed to only those within their own religious group, atheism not being a philosophy at all.
" In the end evil will lost to the faith "
That's right, West doesn't "need" to understand any other nation. As US leader said: "no one knows better than me". Infatuation costs much. Unfortunately not only US, but us too.
Great interview 😃
An impartial great program..
Keep in up China - love from Africa
Go China!
Bring countries like Australia to it's knees.. cut off all trade ties with them
As an Australian I have to agree, It would be the only way to wake up our "Elected Leaders" realise what game they are playing.
Liu Xin is starting to be my fav. anchor.
China geographic expansion and influence : win-win for You and me
USA geographic expansion : I win Only. No one else can win.
that sums it up pretty much
Trump wants all the marijuana, doesn't know the joy of sharing. Greedy.
Tibetans I'm not sure would agree.

When dealing in business, the Chinese offer win-win. In the western world, I win you lose. Just read a European history book.
Professor Martin Jacques thank you 💞
There is big difference between the west and the east!!!!!
China needs to think and act on its own path and interest. It doesn't need to serve or live up to any book title; if it must, it actually already has one called "Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation". That theme is explicitly not: challenge and replace USA. $13 trillion GDP and 1.3 billion people need the all important Chinese devotion of stability and not placed in a chess game for one academic's amusement. It may be right that Germany was a rising power right before WWII and GB was a declining empire...but that didn't stop them both from all that destruction. Rising/declining is just a differential; the true integral is the actual lives of people living in the area between the lines.
Most average Europeans and Americans are broke af lol they can’t afford no travel
True
L91
How huawei is doing?
Leehlebron Leehlebron it actually doing pretty good lol. USA isn’t the entire world. In fact only 1 percent of the world population live In USA . So get over your arrogance and get a bit cultured. UAE, Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and many other Asian countries have multi billions contracts with Huawei. Huawei products have taken over Asia, Latin America and Africa and they are the most populated and biggest contents on earth
L91
Don't you read, have no press, may be?
If not, you are a plain idiot.
Still not as broke as the average Chinese. Slave wages & hovels of villages with no power or sewers.
China does not want to be the biggest military and is not even in any competition against America. The US and other western political countries try and grow through imperialism which is eating every others cake to become bigger but China wants to grow by making the cake bigger and then there will be enough for everyone. China's way is unstoppable because it's own growth is actually growing other nation's economies as they share resources and investing in infrastructure. The US has no control over this and can't control it and is why they are trying to push China down but China will continue to grow and the US is powerless because they only understand economic growth through wars where China spends it's money on growth and not wars.
劉欣加油，中國加油。
She should not be interrupting like that!
As Empire USA is over $3 trillion in debt to China, as wealth is the only standard for power and glory, as government is nothing more than the organized morality of society, allowing the billionaires that rule USA and China to control the relationship between the two nations based only on the trade deficit, this has to be the height of pride.
For wealth is the property we own above what is needed for a comfortable life. And in this respect, since the beginning of civilization the more intelligent upper-half of society has hoarded all of the land, wealth and political power. Which begs the question, is this the grand destiny of man, to be an intelligence dictatorship made extinct by global warming?
Why China knows the West better as opposed to West knowing well of the Chinese ?
1. China has history dated back to 5000 years, yet in most western schools there are hardly contents presented as educational kits for every Western students to know the rise and fall of Chinese empire, its humiliation and colonization by the West etc.....
2. To understand China, westerners need to understand how and what they had done to the Chinese during the period prior to WWI. Without knowing the fine details leading to those historical settings, you will never understand what makes China revival over the last 40 years and expected to grow in next 100 years onward.
trade deficit. US companies face bigger taxes, import duties, they have to establish joint ventures to operate in china and some industries are not allowed to enter. Moreover China is controls yuan exchange rate.
US started to get afraid because they are losing their competetive edge. Rapid economic developmet facillitated scientific and technological advancements. China is catching up. They are not trying to completely prevent or contain Chinese economic development. Because It's impossible.
I would rather say US after realizing that China is a real competitor who can not only produce but also innovate. All that they are trying to do right now is to provide more equal opportunities for their companies. So at least they have some sort of equality in the market.
While China is also correct to defend their interests. We already know what can happen if you agree to the pressure. Japanese "Plaza accord" is a good example. While Japan experienced a "lost decade" China can experience something even more detrimental than that.
'We all in this room are at the mercy of - whether, or not we
know it - a European vision of the world. And, that vision is obsolete.’
-- James Baldwin, National Press Club, 10 Dec 1986
US fears one day they must live the same way Chinese live, not economically but politically. Is it clear enough?
Island nations and nations with tough physical environments, tend to invade more, historically at least, as they did not have enough resources themselves. For example, the UK, Japan, Scandinavia and Holland.
Agree, for thousands of years China has been very much of a “stay at home” nation.
Good interview thanks
They did not fail, they don't want to!
Another great discussion. My observation is that there is not such a great difference in Civilization as it is made out tobe. I am refering to China, Japan, Korea, Europe including Russia, North and South America and Australia. The people living in these areas dress very much the same. They cut their hair very much the same. The food they eat might be prepared differently but basically is the same stuff. Noodles, pasta, patatoes, meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. All these people know the difference between hate and love. All they also know the difference between Hot War and Trade War.
All that is needed is common sense and good will, For World Peace and Brootherhood a Slavic Canadian.
However the habits and mindset are totally different between the east and the west. West must make an effort to understand the other parts of the world better to eliminate the biased view and misunderstanding, likewise the Asians shall learn more about western culture and philosophy to understand the west better.
Jjññ

Respect to Liu Xin. It's much harder to ask a good question than to give a good answer.
There is no unified, singular "West". Trump calls the EU a "foe", remember.
Finnish's opinion ?
One glaring aspect that is not raised in this interview but is certainly I think pertinent, the contrast between the much touted 'Christian' values of the West in contrast with the various religious/philosophical traditions that have shaped China over the last three and half to four thousand years. Most Westerners are aware that five hundred years BC, all the doctrines of Christianity except two were known to the Chinese; these exception are 1) there is no paradise to look forward to after death and 2) on the other hand neither is there a hell to burn 'sinners'. LOVE of one's neighbor with no strings attached in this life because this IS IT.
Xi should hold a tv press conference remind the Chinese people that they are a 5000 yr old civilization that has survived everything they’ve had to overcome. Then the next morning abruptly halt ALL exports to the US.
Then invite all western journalist to record his message to the US: when president trump and his administration is done playing trade games and is serious about today’s global economic, commerce cooperation, we will sit down and talk about opening up trade again, until then China will do what it needs to do for its own interest and continue to be an open partner to the rest of the world.
If trump thinks he can take down Huawei or take down China,
Then China should just flex its muscle, show it can take down apple, and other tech companies, Amazon, Walmart, vehicle parts, shipping and trucking, UPS, and all the ripples those industries would hurt. Unemployment would rise, bank loan defaults, Wall Street crash... then let’s see how popular trump’s ignorant ego really is
China needs to target certain usa companies or certain usa government weak points ,so as to ensure maximum damage to the usa government and minimum damage to China
5000 years? I thought The Chinese revolution destroyed religious & historical books. That's like saying Egyptians are still the Pharos of Egypt. No they're not that civilization anymore, it is their history though.
Win loss and win win based relations are really the main difference. Socialism prevent colonialism because these are entirely opposite Concept of societies.
Martin is a superstar!
The US attitude towards China has nothing to do understanding or not understanding China. It has everything to do it growing and stronger China. That the US see as a threat to its primacy, dominance and hegemony that it currently has over the world. It sees as the US's manifest destiny to rule the world and that its American Exceptionalism allow it to do as it please, even to the detriment of everyone else. So the animosity and toxic views of the US against China has no element of misunderstanding, but a toxic fear that China will overtake the US powers, primacy and authority.
overall great interview
Liu Xin, I suggest a topic "Why do the Oversea Chinese fail to understand China?" It's not just the West. The fact is China is just like North Korea until recently. (e.g. My father was imprisoned for being an intellectual). You sound like you are from a privileged class that failed to understand the cruelty of the Cultural Revolution and the deceptions of the Communist Party. It'll take a lot for China to prove that she is no longer mean and deceptive like that, or has any tendency to regress. With a great deal of pain and bad memories, we pray for a better China. Yes, visiting China does help.
