Video Essay Part 2. In this China vlog about living in Beijing as a foreigner. I take a walk around a local park and reflect on the democratic process in the UK, how other forces influence decisions against the population during the UK general election and how this compares to China - there is no right or wrong, just 'different'...

Perhaps you can find some academic information on evaluation of the governance capability of the China government. Among rankings from different perspectives, It's impossible to find a ranking that China Govt can reach the top 20 at all. The Chinese people have a sayings about dead loop of China Govt, "一死就放,一放就亂,一亂就收,一收就死,一死就放,一放就亂,一亂就收..." now the China govt is following this rule on stock, property, car making, ... markets

@computer-ot8si You know where there's reliable information from, though? Iraq. One million innocent Iraqis were murdered in an illegal war. Yet W, Cheney, and Blair haven't been charged with war crimes. But I guess it's ok as long as brown people do the dying, right? You're a clown.

Western surveys confirm that Western governments are in trouble, _especially compared to China._ For example, according to the 𝗘𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, 85% of Chinese trust their government while only 40% of Americans and 30% of British do. Another example, according to the 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯, 76% of Chinese trust their politicians while only 29% of Americans and 20% of British do. Another example, according to 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘅 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯, 73% of Chinese believe their nation is democratic while only 54% of Americans and 56% of British do. Another example, according to 𝗜𝗽𝘀𝗼𝘀' 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯, 91% of Chinese are happy with their life while only 76% of Americans and 70% of British are. Another example, according to 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟬, 95.5% of Chinese are satisfied with their government.

Thanks Ron and glad to see you back. I was in Xinjiang and I seen a great city full of people, protected and growing through investment in one of the most unstable areas of the world. I think the UN should keep stressing the point on what they find but I fear they will continue to be nothing more than a tool for the few countries that have an agenda. Rishi… is way out his depth!!

The past few PMs have all made me sick and disgusted. Self-serving lying evil people. At least Sanook will be gone this summer after his surreal speech in the rain and music, blaming everyone under the sun for the state of the country, except himself. However, it makes my stomach churn thinking about the equally vile person who will take his place.

Democracy….. ahhh. Don’t you just LOVE IT ! ? A land where government DOES what the people actually WANT & NEED ! Oh dear…You NEVER had that mate. NEVER will. BECAUSE…You have the WRONG political system. Maybe it was a good idea 300 years ago, but not for today nor tomorrow. It generally attracts the wrong sort of people for a start!. I mean, just look at their schoolyard behaviour where “point scoring” put-downs of other elected members of parliament is considered a “win”! Essentially most of them are “bully salesmen” who try to persuade and bribe you, that ONLY THEIR ideas are great (vote for MEEEE). Sadly, ALL parties do the same - Was designed to be like that !! The notion that ALL the PEOPLE HAVE CLEAR NEEDS is not even considered!!. Another childhood dream is that “Competition” yields the best results! This has some truth, but only in the very short term!. COOPERATION YIELDS THE BEST CONTINUOUS SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENTS. JUST PROGRESS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE Establish a national “Register of Visions” summarising the Will of the People. (Health, Housing, Education, Employment, Crime & Safety, Drugs, Immigration, Taxation, Societal Cohesion, Foreign Affairs, Welfare, Trade & Industry, etc etc ). A register Established at census time for each Voter - with real-time Web access for timely updates like Gaza, Ukraine etc etc ad nauseam. And don’t worry, AI will make short work of creating a succinct coherent unambiguous statement of requirements from the millions of Vision submissions! Certainly a BETTER WAY for the Nation. (Unless of course you are already part of the 1% thriving/thieving elite , then yes, you will experience a relative decline in your unwarranted privilege, decadence and legalised theft!). At the moment, China looks remarkably democratic when compared with you lot !

in a democracy, the citizens direct the nation through referendum and initiative. the public service manages the nation following those instructions. there are no democracies. but the swiss came close for awhile. as between uk and prc, the prc government listens to the people pretty closely, much more than uk. it's not democracy, but assessment of public option suggests 80% of china is pretty happy with the performance of the government. should surprise no one, the economic performance of the central government is the wonder of the world.

I'm proud to have voted for Brexit and I'm shocked that you would want to be part of the EU considering their total lack of democratic accountability, and their current full-on pro war stance. Their views are totally different to what you seem to share in your videos, and when their EU army emerges next year, I personally will be glad not to have to be funding it out of my taxes. Of course, if Scotland leaves the UK, you'll be free to get back in the EU and hopefully we'll make you have a visa to live in England. It doesn't affect me as I live here in China. I'm just giving the other point of view. I'm sick of being hated by jocks. If they gave me a choice I'd vote Scotland out.

You might hate yourself, the shame of your history and the fact that you fell for Brexit. But that is another story… You argument for Brexit is that you want to leave a Union, but, mmm Scotland can’t leave the Union… very interesting. How very colonial of you.
