Missing one context: While Apple and Samsung e-wallet are useful as financial tool in US. In China, Ant Group used to behave like a bank while do not follow laws and practice that banks do. They provide loan, run saving account with interest while run the e-wallet business. This cause a brief microloan crisis because Ant don't scrutiny on loans, as those loan are just for petty purchases (example, around 100 bucks, for some fancy clothes) Meanwhile Ant and other online stores heavily promoted consumerism behavior, uncontrolled buying happen, ended up a lot of people failed to pay debt for their uncontrolled spending behavior. Crackdown on e-finance is expected since then.

They think this is an example of "doing good" and "helping people". It draw almost universal criticism online and is one the prompt for government to take action.

That's not why Ant was cracked down on. It's because Jack Ma spoke out negatively about Chinese banking and called it pawnshop mentality. Ant was approved to do an IPO. Jack gave a speech criticizing the governments regulation of banks and how China banked. A week later he was called in for questioning, the day after questioning the already approved IPO was nixed. Then Ma disappeared, his company was fined hugely and he stepped down. He was allowed to give loans to poor people. He wasn't allowed to suggest China was less modern or sophisticated in some way to other nations.

I like the bit about moving from 'high-speed growth' to 'high-quality growth'. Every nation needs to shift from a never-ending growth mindset to one that focuses on growth in the right places i.e. for human prosperity. Focus on improving critical factors like healthcare, education, and well-being of people. Arbitrary metrics like GDP do not correspond to the economic growth of everyone, but rather the rich. Growth for the sake of growth is the biggest scam that the Planet faces.

I very much like your comment. The belief that "progress" is defined by GNP to me is false. It negates the fact that the goal of any society should be the happiness or all people in the society especially those that are suffering the most at the bottom of the society. This is the real measure of the greatness of a country or society. GHL (Gross happiness level) is a much better measure of a society's greatness and in America our GHL has been declining for decades well before coronavirus and is continuing to decline..

The speed with which the CCP can force through change is both Chinas biggest blessing and biggest curse. On the one hand the State can rapidly regulate emerging industries and put the kibosh on potential monopolies and harmful industries. Most places in the West have sluggish legislative bodies which can take years or even decades to catch up, especially in tech. On the other hand the ever changing and seemingly fickle decision making of the CCP can give the economy whiplash. I'm certainly no conservative but even I can see the wisdom on not shaking the bottle too hard.

While their system has its disadvantages, I still think it's valuable to have a government that has the political will to just Get Things Done. As their infrastructure projects have shown, if the CCP sees an unfulfilled need somewhere they'll do something about it, and front the funds if needed. They're also more prompt with responding to changing economic conditions and new industries, like you've said. They may make bad decisions now and again, but that's still better than a dysfunctionally stagnant legislature like the US and my country has.

As a Chinese engineer in a tech company, I agree with your opinions that the internet industry soaked up too much resource. The most paid jobs before 2020 in China were usually tech-related, like programmers and App UI designer. This means thousands of talented people would abandon their dreams for such a job. It even creates a new word called 转码 (Zhuan Ma), which means "turning into a coder". The crackdown did work as our companies laid off most of the programmers that didn't come from Computer Science background, but this also punched the economy in the guts. The Hangzhou local government even reportedly told Alibaba to control the scale of layoffs for economic safety.

Interesting to read your perspective. Thank you for commenting. As an American entrepreneur, I guess that youth in China are seeking a path to happiness, and wherever they look they are boldly told 'NO.' So they settle for chasing personal security and prosperity regardless of what they truly desire. The culture being created by drastic policy change & enforcement is what's creating this 'laying flat' culture, which exists even in America to some degree. Look up the latin phrase _libido dominande_ , it's from the writings of St. Augustine .

@@HuntingTarg Totally agree. Since China's policies and international environment are unstable, most young people don't feel secure enough to pursue their dreams. China does not have bankruptcy for individuals, which means you will be forever in debt if you are unfortunately caught in a financial crisis with mortgages. It also doesn't help that most parents suffer from such instability, as they lost their jobs when China turned away from a planned economy. With so much pressure from different sources(parents, society, international trading conflicts, etc.), 'lying flat' / moving with the tide is the only safe option.

As someone who worked in the "After-School Education" industry in China while the policies were pushed to crush it, I was lucky enough to be in a company that found a loophole in the system. A huge market in after-school education is English (both as ESL or EFL), and my company found that they did not break any rules if we just changed the subject of the lessons from English to just about any other subject (but taught in English). I have since swapped out from after-school education to a more traditional structure in a private school (still in China). But even private schools get occasional inspections to ensure they are following some criteria I am currently not fully aware of.

China to crack down the after school education industry is not just for reducing student pressure. It’s to reduce the unfairness of overall education. Rich people can spend more so the teachers get more pay to serve the riches in the after school education and they won’t teach everything in the normal classes but ask students to pay more and learn in the after school classes. In the long run some talented students from normal families won’t get chances compared to the average students from rich families. And the younger generation will be layered by wealth.

I don't know if I like being a contrarian or what... while what CCP doing is not as bad as most western media shows. It is also has a lot of problems. For complex issues like this, I think we should always have an question mark/uncertainty in the back of our head, instead of simply remember whether those polices are good or bad. (for instance, not just "good" or "bad"... but "good (or bad) with huge uncertainty" ). China between 70s and 2000s learned that huge government invention in the economy is often worse than small invention or no intervention, because the economy is too complicated to be micromanaged. When a policy crash 60-100% of an industry (like after school education industry) over night, it is typically not a good policy. Also even if the authoritarian tendency of controlling everything and crushing everything against the party, happen to give good result in this specific case, it is still very inconsistent in providing well being to its citizens. Such authoritarian tendency can easily become harmful to its citizens.

This is a great insight into the reasons behind these actions. Although they may seem extreme, it seems that the Chinese government wants to fix many problems that have gone too far, before they get to the point where they cannot be fixed... It is, perhaps, not a bad thing to slow things down so that the direction the country is taking can be steered towards ensuring that wealth and growth are more evenly spread throughout society. Very few governments actually take a keen interest in ensuring that everyone is getting the benefits of growth and prosperity and not just large corporations and wealthy tycoons. Thank you for giving us this viewpoint and understanding.

China didn't want their tech companies to have the power that companies like Facebook have, which is a platform that can heavily influence people, good or bad (such as the previous 2 elections). It's the reason why the supreme court has been grinding on all big tech companies recently, the only problem being that these companies had already become way too powerful for the US government to change dramatically, plus the US isn't like China where you can just take someone to the back room and teach them a lesson so these companies with the right lawyer can get away with a lot of things. Companies in China would likely face military force if they're too cunning, just look at Jack Ma.

Don't give a political party with no competition like the CCP too much credit for their wisdom. Much like the Soviet Union, behind the mighty and mysterious façade is a lot of dysfunction, corruption and incompetence behind the scene. When their economic model doesn't work anymore, suddenly the cracks expand at a crazy speed bringing the whole vertical structure down. And everyone will be like "well shit that was unexpected"

China absolutely has a capitalist economy. Industry is still in private hands, and while the state has shares in many companies they still more often than not operate with extreme latitude. The Chinese state remains the master in this relationship (unlike what you’ll find in the US) but even when the state uses its weight its reforms are not to be mistaken as socialistic. At best they’re the sort of reforms that can be seen in plenty of liberal democracies in which labor may be thrown a bone but the primary objectives are keeping industry sharper and suppressing worker agitation. Even China’s own state owned industries operate in ways that would make your average American middle manager blush. China does not have a laissez-faire capitalist economy, but in effect it really isn’t all that different from western relationships between state and capital.

It won't really stop the rich families from hiring private 1-on-1 tutors secretly. I think this policy mainly aims to stop "an inflation of out-of-school tutoring". The more everyone takes extra tutoring, the more everyone needs to take these tutoring. It's just spiraling out of control, and people are in essence wasting their money since almost everyone takes such extra tutoring classes == no one takes these extra classes, and their money is just all wasted. As long as most families stop sending their kids to these tutoring schools, their money can be saved for something else, potentially boosting other sectors of the economy, and the majority of the kids will have less pressure from competitions that don't really improve their academic performance.

I'm a Chinese speaker, and your video is very inspiring. Thanks. Here's my comment. (Partially translated by google) The "market economy" has its bright side, but it also creates a growing divide between the rich and the poor, as well as ever-higher debt. China may want to step back a bit towards a planned economy in order to achieve "common prosperity", but the disadvantage is this may affect the overall economy amount. Until the next technological revolution comes, I don't think there is a best way to choose. As long as the choice didn't afffect social stability too much, I think it's still acceptable to me.

I think common prosperity is privately funded stimulus. Eventually, if the goal of lifting more people up and aid economic expansion is realized, the companies funded it will also benefit in terms of more consumers who can afford the company's products and services. Govt need to intervene when they observe things are disorderly to impact or decimate the vulnerable. Even the US resorted to QE to ride out of 2008 financial crisis brought about because of pure market driven philosophy. The rich elites got bailed out by the US government at the cost of average person on the street many of whom lost jobs and homes. Managed & planned pain is better than the US model of reckless market economy.

@@sriramanvelayudhan230 1. China and the US, like most of the world, each run on a _fiat_ money system. Monetary inflation is a common problem in both economies, and both are getting hit hard by it. 2. China is running into the same basic issue that the US has; a Pareto distribution of wealth. This is a natural consequence of open markets. I do not see it as an inherently bad thing, largely because command of larger amounts of capital can do good as well as bad, both in the marketplace and in philanthropy. Marketplace example: Elon Musk, both with his successes in engineering enterprises, and his purchase and promise to 'clean up' Twitter (he's getting back to his roots as a coder there). Philanthropy example: Andrew Carnegie. Many hundreds of libraries, schools and school facilities, auditoriums, performing halls, and conservatories bear his name across the U.S., including the famous Carnegie Hall. He was a coldly ruthless businessman, yet after his victories loosed his wealth to improve the cultural infrastructure of his native country. That doesn't make him a good-hearted person. It does mean that free and open markets, over the long term, do work for everyone.

@@sriramanvelayudhan230 In my own perspective, sanctions on China are the right thing for the wrong reason with the wrong timing. China is one of the worst human rights violators in the world, yet they sit on the U.N. Human Rights Council. Don't believe me? What about their "zero C0VID" policy, for starters?

I feel that common prosperity is achieved through better education. The pre-college education in the US really isn't up to par (look at global education rankings) while the Chinese pre-college education is a bit too harsh - Chinese students often "give-up" after they get into university. The advantage the Chinese have is a culture that emphasizes education. Giving a homeless man an extra dollar means nothing if you can't give the homeless man an education.

This videos makes a point to me that for all the external criticisms of the CCP and Chinese government in their own unique way they care for their citizens. The ethics of this system might be questionable for those of us with western sensibilities, but western democracy is not for everyone. For the government to be willing to wipe out out trillions to curtail the excesses of "problematic industries" is in stark contrast to the Too Big to fail ideas prevalent in western economies.

@@gund89123 if talk freely then may cause "Color Revolution”,We all know that is not a good thing, because almost every country with color revolution has become a failed country. Look at Ukraine own a piece of land ? It means the free sale of land. China's thousands of years of history shows that this will only lead to the continuous annexation of land, which will eventually lead to more and more land for big landlords, and a large number of poor people have no land.. Finally, it triggered peasant uprising and national civil war. Why do Chinese dynasties generally last only 300 years? Because 300 years is probably the time when a large number of people have no land and have to revolt violently. The state owns land, which ensures that everyone can get reasonable land, and land annexation will not occur, thus leading to a large number of people without land. It also ensures the smooth construction of important infrastructure, such as highways and high-speed railways so i think CCP will rule china over 300 years. because CCP fix the problem of Land annexation

As an investor who just love to study tech and even other companies. China is really very random in there own laws as stated with many tech industry examples in this video. Most people will think they also don't understand tech completely so make such decisions but when you look at automobile industry they almost collapsed the whole two wheeler market in matter of few years , have absolutely crushed there chemical company years ago, have made many rules that make there metal industry to be the best to worst to best again to worst again. This just shows how they can give full open hand and make there company world leaders and when they think it is getting out of hand make them even go bankrupt in just a few years. Many of these decisions stated were not even that new but a normal thing in China. They really favour what they like just in example they first favour niche chemical and they also ruin then after some years and that make them gain tech and also make comodity chemical be more there as it might create less value but is more important for our life overall.
