Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I have been uploading Pascal's China Lens videos on RUclips. Reason is personal - moving home and being out of a proper studio for many months. I will get my YT content started again now that I have my studio/office again. I plan to make a video every month on China in 2024. I therefore wanted to start with an interview with Ashley Dudarenok - who is an authority on China's digital marketing. Enjoy! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Belgium!
Bonsoir Mr. Coppens,
La Chine a “sinisé”le Marxisme et aussi le Capitalisme, ce qui explique son succès et ses transformations au 21ème siècle !
L’ exceptionalisme chinois est le produit de l’ alchimie entre une civilisation chinoise multi-millénaire continue et la révolution industrielle occidentale du 19ème siècle dont les ramifications (le Marxisme, le Socialisme et bien entendu le Capitalisme sauvage d’ aujourd’hui) ont contribué à façonner la Chine du 21ème siècle.
Pour bien comprendre la Chine, il faut connaître sa civilisation et ses pensées philosophiques depuis 5 000 ans, autrement on n’ en saisit que les apparences et les vérités superficielles/ temporaires.
Le “Capitalisme Sinisé” deviendrait peut-être le modèle capitaliste du 21ème siècle tout au moins pour les pays non-occidentaux ?
Great interview, Pascal, great stuff, Ashley. I'm not an entrepreneur, just a consumer in the West, but I swear just about 2 years ago I was still complaining about Chinese made products, how it's always cheap and low quality and non innovative compared to the Japanese or the West, only to literally eat my own words today. In part it's because of Western media's intentional negative portrayal of China, or at least journalistic negligence by not vetting their own narratives, but in part it's our own hubris, the condescending belief we are superior racially, culturally, commercially, religiously, technologically, scientifically, even entertainment and just about every aspect of life. Perhaps that is simply the remnant of the our Colonialistic past, the last breath of dying empires. Sadly, the only thing we are truly still superior are global financial instruments (dollars and sanctions) and the military.
Every individual must visit China to see, feel, hear, touch and experience firsthand. China has a unique culture, growth & development. It is so safe and clean too.
No other country in the world has so much distinctive service, art, architecture, technology and infrastructure. If you passionate about these, then you will be inspired.
Great video! I just visited China for holiday in Shenzhen and Chongqing. Amazing! People will get shocked how advanced the big cities in China now compared to even 3-5 years ago. Everything is so dynamic and progressing, full of energy! The whole world is not very good in economics, energy issues, weaker demands, inflation... But I see a lot of hope and brighter future in China and East!
Thank you both for having and sharing the informative interview/discussion🙏👍🙏
以人为本，为人民服务 are core value of the Chinese people, businesses and government.
absolutely a must watch interview ! Lots of insights on the latest developments in the Chinese and global landscape.
Thank you Pascal and Ashley, for this inspiring conversation about China's innovation. I was particularly encouraged to learn how advanced China is when it comes to aligning e'commerce platforms and ecosystems with the customer and how much more customer centric China is in this regard. From my PaGaian perspective, I like to think that this level of innovation in a 'new country' is underpinned by an an 'old culture' applying the value of relatedness.
Overall an excellent discussion 👏
Talking about China soft power as lacking without discussing US /West anti China rhetoric and their vast control and influence of global media both offline and online and social media platforms is telling only a fraction of the story.
The other part, I wrote a book about called Can We Trust China? 😉
@@PascalCoppens noted haha
two great professionals mastering on what is a correct set of vision helping to understand what China really is, and what it means from the economic, politic and cultural point of view, carrying great works explaining what is the best way to access to that. Two of my favorite bloggers so far, fortunately so far too from the common very lower level of those talking about China or in a bad way or knowing little about. Thank you gus for coincide in one video, keep on in your way and all the best for the 2024 to both, Ashley and Pascal.
Greetings and a better 2024.
Thanks Joan! Appreciated! We will continue the work... Best wishes for 2024!
Very interesting and educational. Thank you both for providing us with a unique perspective unavailable in western publications and media platforms
Our pleasure!
Very happy to see your insightful and valuable discussion and I am thrilled to share with my friends and followers in Linkedin...thanks and cheers!
Wonderful! Thanks!
Thank Ashley for your latest comparison and in-depth analysis of digital innovation ecosystem of China and the West! It is very interesting and enlightening. l would love to read this book.
So far, my inspiration of your ideas are based on three key words: human touch, cooperation and ecosystem. As far as l know, putting people first is the core value of Chinese culture. In practical sense, no matter in political realm, business area, or management system, it is inseparable from the interactions and cooperations between individuals and various collective links to join together and work together to achieve a successful humane services of ecosystem. With a fragmented social structure and political framework , it is difficult to break through the shackles of respective interests to create a complete human touchable ecosystem. As a matter of fact, many companies put profits first before people and provide anti-human services. When we pick up a phone to get a respond, we have to listen to all those numbers and sometimes have to wait on the line for a long time to speak to a human.
Great insight, thank you Pascal and Ashley.
Fantastic...🎉🎉
Thanks
Come on as far as alternative energy China today is number one in the world man
The difference is top down versus bottom up transition towards preserving the environment. I wrote about this in my book too. If China would wait for bottom up change, it would be a disaster. Luckily they are number one in top down capacity driven change as you write.
You should interview Xiaoqing Zheng about Chinese innovation. He'd be a great guest to have on the show, although he is currently indisposed for the next few months. Yanjun Xu is another person who plays hard from the playbook. He'd be great to have on the show as well.
😊thx for sharing
My pleasure 😊
China's doing a lot better than many in the west thinks. Their AI tech is competitive with the US, CGI and animation has caught up with hollywood, the average citizen eats a lot better than most in the west would imagine, even their video games have really caught up and garnered some global appeal with titles like the new wukong game, much of the infrastructure in the country is new compared to places like New York, San Fran, and Taipei, the people even if having lower wages do live a modern middle class life with all the modern appliances, smart phones, air fryers, ect especially as much of the global supply chain is in China. We will see how they transition their economy next few decades, the 15 minute cities, social credit system is pretty Orwellian for most people in the world especially Americans. The youth unemployment, fertility rate is a problem especially when 1/3 or more of the new generation reach 40+ and realize they will never have kids but I think the west will have similar problem, many of the current youth will come of age and realize they aren't even fertile, finding the right partner is a lot harder than they imagined, and would prefer an AI companion instead. Even if the population is 500 million by 2100 it's nowhere near "extinction" like Peter Zeihan would suggest.
Agree that Peter Zeihans prediction is wrong. Made another video on this with title could China fail?
Meanwhile U$ is still #1 in WMDs, nukes, death and destructions.
What social credit system? Get your fact straight!
Among the few from the West who are willing to tell the real story about China. Admittedly China is not practically perfect and as Pascal said both sides can learn from the other. One thing we can't deny is the hunger on the part of the Chinese population to learn and to earn anything that they can get. Of course, in the process, they have actually frightened many in the West especially amongst the Western political leaders whose only usefulness to their society is not dissimilar to those religious leaders of some of the Muslim society who preach their followers to fear their own shadows! The hope for such society is whether they could wake up from the slumber!
When container ships begun serving shipping routes “carpet canvassing” for shippers began 60 years ago.
This is a classic example of socialism vs capitalism. In the West business is dominated by the monopolies of large corporations who dictate government policy in their favour. This stifles competition and forces prices up. As a result the West will face further inequality, a decline in productivity and an ever increasing tax burden on the average citizen.
As far as inequality, I believe US has a bigger issue than some other Western countries, but the trend looks opposite than in China.
It is ironic that we have more monopolistic control and consumer oversight in so-called communist China than we have in the west. this is stifling our competitiveness and free market.
@@PascalCoppens If China is getting more unequal, that is a huge problem since it's already a very large problem...
👏👏👏
Yes chaina has learnt a lot from west but west has had learnt more before means chaina has thousand of years of history of civilisation
China learned from Japan, Singapore and South Korea, not from western country
Good innovation storyline
Thanks
💗💗
One think that Ashley has left out is the power of socialism. In a way, she has mentioned under the label of "cooperation" but not explicitly Socialism works like magic when adopted at every group levels. Between 1920-1940, we see the same phenomenon of exponential growth in the Soviet Union, which catapulted a backward nation in 1917 to a superpower by 1940. That is a miracle which has now been repeated by China. Dont you think its high time the word socialism and communist became de-stigmatized? Of course such a suggestion scares the western dinosaurs shitless.
Socialism is not stigmatised much in Europe. Communism is a different story. However authoritarian regimes is what is used most of times to alianate Russia and China.
The main core difference from China and the west is that China prioritises unity over liberty meaning that unity comes first then liberty whereas in the west liberty comes first over unity. That is why socialism works better because socialism is about the group first. It’s also the reason why as you have heard in the video China is hyper customer centric because Chinese understand power in numbers.
This is also the essence of democracy because only when the common people are united that you can create change and force the elites to listen to you.
South Korea is an exception especially when compared to North Korea and is the poster child of American democratic/capitalistic arguments...
😁✌️ it's not socialism or communism that make 🇨🇳 shine. Its 🇨🇳 culture and meritocracy that allow 🇨🇳 to thrive.👍😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️

From make in China to design by China!
Is this the latest video from Pascal. It has been some time that this channel appears in my feed so I am wondering what is happening.
Chinese business never satisfied with just one business.
you never show up on my feed ever. think u got blacklisted from youtube js
I have been silent on RUclips because of home renovation.
@@PascalCoppens I understand that part Pascal, but you don't show up in my subscriber feed. I've noticed this to be a problem for maybe 1.5 years but didn't really bother to say it until it became painstakingly concerning. I could be wrong an it could be just my subscriber algo but I have the bell on too.
@@LetsLearnEconomic not sure why, but sorry about that
Pascal, where have you been?
Are you running out of inspiration and aspiration in discussing China's progress and rejuvenation?
Your lack of action has made me feel lonely!
😊😂
Thanks for nice words I had lack of studio and too busy with renovation of my home. Never lack of inspiration and content 😊. I continued my newsletter on innovation in meanwhile. Do check it out on my website or LinkedIn if you haven't already.
No west countries are always generous and teacher
China learned from Japan and Singapore, not from westerns country.
They learn from everyone
don't forget South Korea. and now Vietnam is emerging quickly. Confucian influence might just have something to do with it...
😅 wow so much in(no)vations
The PROPAGANDA channel 😠
Clearly not been listening to the content
🤣🤣🤣 Barsa Barnali Mohanty🐒🍌, you make 🇨🇳 great again‼️ thank you.👌😁😁😁😁😁
