Americans have been so propagandized about other countries and their governments. That's why channels like this are so valuable and needed. Thank you Cyrus.

People's Republic of China, President Xi Jinping, is one of most competent leader of all time, the world have ever seen.

This was a very good interaction, very balanced and honest. Gentlemen, you are the pride of your respective countries. Before being American, British, and Chinese, we are human beings.

I live in Beijing and this morning on my way to work I walked past a giant BRF poster, and in nearby subway stations there were a few Armed Police patrolling(not something you see in regular days). Then the reality struck me hard, "oh, shit ,this big Belt and Road thing is really happenning, and it's happening right HERE where I live". Leaders and officials form 130+ countries are here for this event and they are here for communication, cooperation, opportunities and development. China indeed has come a longway, from a agricultural country who could barely feed her own people, to a world power that seeks and promotes a multi-polar world. I look forward to see how BRI evolves in the next 10 years and where China will stand among fellow countries and nations. 革命尚未成功，同志仍须努力！

Belt-and-Road is to benefit the countries that need improvement in their infrastructure.

Haha. Jerry finally met up with Cyrus! Thanks Jerry! Your videos on poverty alleviation in China and how China is a different (and arguably even better) democracy than US are really insightful!

The world need more people like you two !!

China has 5,000 years of history and is among the world's oldest 'continuous' civilization still alive today, whereas other ancient civilizations like Rome, Egypt and Mesopotamia have since succumbed to history. China has witness the rise and fall of numerous other nations and yet China has survived to the modern era relatively intact.

Great conversation!! You guys should be doing this on a regular basis!! One of the best conversations on China I have heard!! Great job guys!!

Support China ❤️. President Xi Jinping is my Hero. He says what I think. Thank You Jerry and Cyrus.😊👍☀️☀️☀️

China was once a poor, war-torn, starving nation in the past, but fast forward till today, and China has since transformed into the world's 2nd largest economy (largest if you go by GDP PPP), the factory of the world, having the world's 2nd largest R&D spending, protected by the world's largest land army, the _People's Liberation Army._ And it's all been achieved under the leadership of the CPC.

Wow this is historic moment to see both my most favorite KZfaqrs. Awesome!

The Belt and Road Initiative, originating in China but belonging to the world, will bring prosperity and stability to the people of developing countries. Bravo!

10yrs have passed already, I remember when 1 Belt 1 Road was first mentioned Silk Road version 2, I knew that the worlds greatest leader was in China. This vision will put China as the center of the world again for probably the next 2 thousand years.

I used to got into heated debat with people who talk down china. Now after years living abroad and seen so much changes internationally, I start to gladly let people think china is weak and poor and underdevelop, i hope their pov will remain that way for another 30 years so China have another 30 years of time to do its own thing instead of being targeted everywhere.

I like Jerry’s comments “you can buy connection, but you can’t buy loyalty.” This is specifically true in business level where trust is the foundation of relationships.

Thru Xinjiang, China is literally demonstrating to the Muslim world that prosperity is the golden remedy to fight extremism and poverty alleviation is the best cure to social stability. In fact, Xinjiang already becomes a must-go place for every Muslim once step into China.

China is THE Voice for Peace, for Respect, for Togetherness, for Mutual Growth and Development, for Win-Win Relationship.....

What an amazing gathering of both channels that I always watch ... Should be more of this ,.. Thank you guys love it !!! 🙏🙌🙏

China is developing Thorium nuclear power station which doesn't use much water. Thorium nuclear power station doesn't produce any weapon grade by-product. It will be great to export such technology all over the world without having to worry about more countries developing nuclear weapons.

I see All of Jerry, and All of Cyrus. And now they are together.😊👍, Dont forget Different kind of Trade. China Solar Panels, China affordable EV Cars, China Battery. BRI Roads Rail Bridges Hospitals Schools and affordable Communication Huawei and Xiaomi. And Rocket Science, Chips for the World. And no Religious War in China. No Moslim Jew Christ Hindu Wars in China. China is ongoing. Thank You for this video. Cooperation with China is most important.

Awesome discussions. Thanks for sharing and surfacing the truth. 👏👍

A Chinese Saying. If you want to come Forward, build a Road.

USA, WEST n NATO:BELT N ROAD FAIL. 143 STATES :BELT N ROAD IS SUCCESS. 👍👍👍

I can't imagine a world without China Silk Road till now I still rely pine nuts and Fish & Tea people should be helping each other not trying to hurt so sure

no other American understand China more than u .Thanks

Cyrus knows China well.

Go China!!! My full support from Hellas 🇬🇷

An anti-thesis can best describe the responsiveness nature from both systems between US and China. You can change the party, but you can’t change the policy in US. However you can’t change the party, but you can change the policy in China. China’s unique one party meritocracy system actually provides advantages for a) long term planning allowing to build and stack merits on top of predecessor, b) social mobility prevails and merit system offer more non-biased selection of public servant.

Absolute success and a tribute to the long term Chinese strategy for peace, prosperity and free trade among its member nations

Just returned after 11 days in shanghai and wuhan. Would recommend such experience to those who wish to know china better. Even for those who have been there some times ago, say five yrs ago

Jerry and Cyrus: Gentlemen, thank you for your videos. China has its societal problems and economic issues but what I love about China is that it is not a war mongering nation. And its leaders are not bitchy about other nations' success in providing a safe and decent life for its people.

China's BRI is a catalyst for global economic development cooperation friendship peace diplomacy cultural exchanges. Choose a trusted capable friend for a shared future prosperity with a wisdom of win-win multipolarism collaboration in multidimensional benefits. China is a blessing to the world. Welcome all delegates to BRI forum for a fairer better world together.

USA is playing _Checkers,_ thinking *1 move* ahead. Russia is playing _Chess,_ thinking *5 moves* ahead. China is playing _Go (Weiqi_ 围棋), thinking *10 moves* ahead.

Love your presentation of your experiences in china. 100% genuine conversation.

I love the concept of the Belt and Road Project.

Great conversation especially with tremendous insight!

Two gentlemen worth listening too if you seek truth👍

Thanks!

Hi Jerry You mentioned the Asian games I have asked many friends here if they knew about them only one had an idea about them That tells you how our MSM treats China and Asia We are an extremely racist country

I disagree with Cyrus when he said India is playing neutral. How can you say that when India is part of QUAD, a military alliance with U.S., Japan and Australia. Is Switzerland part of NATO?

Value of trade between China and BRI countries went from .68T$ in 2014 (BRI inception) to just under 2T$ in 2022 over the 8 years (ref Statistica). In other words, in 2014 China depended on US+EU for the bulk of its trade. After introducing BRI China trade with US/EU and BRI has reached rough parity in just 8 years. China also stopped recycling surplus USD into US Treasuries to fund US deficits. In stead it cycled some USD surplus into BRI infrastructure building to facilitate China-BRI trade. The US hates that Treasuries are losing bids.

Can west try to understand that Chinese really think helping human society in needs is a good deed and will benefit all human beings in the end? This is how Chinese are brought up.

Both of the hosts are brilliant!

Cyrus and Jerry thank you both for the excellent live chat 🙏👍

制度，宗教，信仰，价值观，肤色等等都是表象。 因为在此之下，粮食，饮水，教育，医疗，基础设施等等才是所有人类生存和发展的基础。 人类的共同利益远大于人类内部的分歧。

It is not only gift a country, we have 2 Million Houses with Solar made in China. Clean Energy. That s a Gift for families. Fathers Mothers Children.

A brilliant analysis of BRI by Cyrus and Jerry 👏👏👏👏

Thank you guys for a great show.

China's economic model is not based on colonialism. It looks different from all the superpowers before it

Appreciate both wonderful guys giving a very indepth of China great achievements, fair concept of comparison, good analysis, hope more videos will be released by both of you. ❤

Hi Jerry, Hi Cyrus, I watched most of your video, thanks for your sharing.

China is a peaceful country and so sad that people don't ask a peace question to the western countries!

Great to see Cyrus on your show. Excellent and honest discussion 👍👍👍👍

Well done, guys

The bridge not totally burn down yet and we need more people like you two to rescue it. ❤

If the West want China to be a more free, more democratic, more open society, then cutting China off economically (and politically) is NOT a good idea.

I can comfortably say it is success more specifically in our country Kenya despite 1 Railway 2 Express way from Nairobi CBD to Airport And Many others

China subscribes to the dogma that for a nation to achieve economic prosperity, it must prioritise and put in place a modern and efficient infrastructure (要想富、先修路). That is so very true! There is no doubt that infrastructure connectivity is the key to prosperity. For China has demonstrated, over the last 2 decades, that its spectacular economic transformation and modernisation could not have been possible had it not put in place inarguably the world most advanced infrastructure. In fact, the net benefits of connectivity and transport route improvement to a nation must be assessed on their economy-wide impacts, and not from the isolated project feasibility of cost versus revenue. The so-called “debt-trap”, is nothing more than a bogey used by the West to demonise China and to frighten countries into believing that they are better off without modern infrastructures. In truth without investing in modern infrastructures a developing country will remain in the “poverty-trap”. Even for a developed economy like the United States, maintaining its public infrastructure assets in good condition is critical. But, alas, the US public infrastructure has been frozen in time capsule. While the US own infrastructure assets are crumbling, it is telling the rest of the world “don’t build it”. But how could a country develop or sustain its development without being connected by an efficient road, sea, and telecommunication network to the rest of the world? And that is precisely what the Belt and Road Initiative is all about.

A fantastic discussion full of facts between two of my favourite KZfaqrs!

According to published research, about 90% of BRI projects are successful

Thanks Jerry for putting this informative and entertaining video with Cyrus.

Very nice to see you both in this discussion. Cyrus and Jerry you have disclosed a lot of facts about China that Western medias have published in contradicted. Your talks are very interesting and worth listening. Keep doing...Bravo.

China Legend in the world 🌎 🙌

Excellent food for thought

China has _5-year plans, 10-year plans, 20-year plans, 30-year plans,_ to chart China's course towards the future. By abolishing the term limits, our leaders can remain in power long term to see their plans for China bloom and come to fruition in _2025, 2030, 2040, 2050._ Whereas in the US, their presidents have to step down after *4-8 years,* so they can only make short-term plans for America, instead of long term plans spanning, say *10 years* or more.

It is the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the Belt and Road project.

Cyrus I am You and You is Me

Great interview Cyrus! I really enjoyed it. 👍

I watch videos from both of your channels regularly! Great to see you two in the video! ❤

I love all the talks by Cyrus. My suggestion is that not to put Xi's picture on the KZfaq front page. The reason is that I like to sent Cyrus' talk to some of my friends who already have the negative idea about Xi from the media. I am afraid it might stop them from watching.

One superpower aggressively promotes wars, fightings, killings and atrocities, while China diligently and peacefully promotes better livelihood, infrastructures and human prosperity globally. The differences are extremely obvious to the people of the world. To allies of that aggressive superpower: choose your alliance more carefully and intelligently. Thank you, China!

Watching this. One human race

You guys are to be complemented, for a very interesting well balanced discussion, something difficult to to come by in the present day international political climate…….

Thank you both for having and sharing the discussion🙏👍🙏

Does democracy mean one hegemonic policy with two alternating ruling regimes? That seems to be the case!

"Guanxi" also refers to whether the trade partner you are dealing with, the employee just hired, the government official concerned .. can they be trusted? It is not diffferent from Japnese : if the employee proves within 3 years, a person of low character, he will be excluded from the circle; but if he is known to be honest, able and humble, he has a open cheque book. This same concept applies in trade and business. It is about character and trust. Similar Confucianist values; about the "superior man".

Good discussion guys. Please keep up the great work.

Of course very successfull.simple example...because im remember when im young in indonesia ..20 years ago.. people still chasing train go to the roof of train and or enter from windows..today we are proud have the hightech first highspeed train in the world outside china 😊 that's since Jokowi becomes president and do many cooperation with China and the result it's very 👍

One of the braves and actual one, keep going Cyrus

👍🙏 good show thank you gentlemen.

I wish all American are able to watch this interview. Hopefully, more American can change their view about China.

Very nice to see you two finally on the same screen! 😀👍

Just want to mention here, one podcast devoted to BRI topic with less than 6K sub, The China-Global Project seem to be a very balanced and fact base analysis should get more attention in my opinion!

Australia China Trade made Australia Rich.

That was a long hour.😊

Cyrus & Jerry, great interview which I watched TWICE

At least they are promoting economics and not war !

The Stability in China is not mentioned. China for Stability ongoing Progress. In Suriname the former Government had build a much needed Hospital in Lelydorp Suriname. It was a realized Suriname China Project. The Government of Today Shut this hospital because it was a succes of the former Government and other Political Party. That happens more often.

Respect Cyrus.

Lol! Buying relations???!! Try telling your date you don’t buy relations and see how far your relationships go.

Once I got a remark that I was blinded because I was there.

The West commands respect through power and money. China earns respect through their actions.

I really love this episode. Great discussion Jerry and Cyrus. 💌

It's more of the degree of success rather than failure... Definitely not a failure.

🤗👏👏👏👍💪🙏regards fm 🇲🇾with ❤️

Hi Jerry, Would you say that the US policy has been to coerce all countries of the world to choose between to be a friend of the US or of China but not both?

China's President Xi said it is a 100-year-long program and we are only in its first 10 years of steady progress of course with many teething problems to be sorted out. But Xi promises the next 10 years will be a golden 10 years of progress

It's better than the US fighting ten years of war in Afghanistan and accomplished nothing.

I was confused why Jerry's icon was on the video but Cyrus' on the channel lmao
