What a pleasure to listen to the speakers and responders discuss such an interesting topic. I came across this searching for videos on Martin Jay, and boy, am I glad! The question raised by Wen-hsin Yeh was incredibly pertinent; I have often wondered about the Chinese ideology/political economy divide. I will look up more on this subject, which 10 years + later is more relevant than ever. Thank you for sharing this.

This is a very good analysis. I also love her accent and tone; it's calming and makes it clearer. =D

After translating and studying Confucianism, Confucius duly converted him as his disciples. Gile concludes: “Confucius was the prince of philosophers, the wisest and most consummate of sages, the loftiest moralist, the most subtle and penetrating intellect that the world had ever seen. He was a statesman, a bard, an historian and an antiquary rolled into one. His sagacity put the most illustrious of ancient and modern philosophers to shame. He was the greatest and noblest representative of the greatest, happiest, and most highly civilised people on the face of the earth.”

Sounds like China is looking to mimic capitalism: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods,(dictionary). How you form your government can still be socialist but as far as economic system, if you are allowing private ownership, then you are allowing capitalism. That is the correct term, sounded like Wei wanted to back down from the term but it was the correct term. It is just not a truly free market perhaps is what she was aiming to say.

What is of importance is subjective. There are other people in the world apart from you.

Chinese English is a beautiful accent. Chinese language reads from bottom to top. It's about ritual, working for the good of society. English is a language that reads from top to bottom. It's the language of leadership, where leaders of nations can trade. The Bible is God's book of sound.

yeah i'll be really amazed about the pipes that you have going into caged bears to collect bile for medicine and the skinning alive of cats and dogs because chinese think that the adrenaline rush makes the meat taste better.
