Being brilliant and an idiot is a thin line.

Shhh… a new Gordon Chang is being born…

India will surpass both China and the US. Why? Impending de-dollarization or currenty reset (fiat to pegged) by 2025 which also means de-coupling from China. India is alraedy the fastest growing economy for the past 2 yr. If you look at history, INDIA was the largest economy and richst civilization for thousands of years until 19th century or until European colonialists started looting it. China was not even in the scene or a distant second until 16th century according to ANGUS MADISON's 20 yr research on world economy for the past 2000 yr. His book " World economy: a millennial perspective and historical statistics" says it all.

😂😂😂 what do you expect from such a prof 😂

One of the biggest problem of Muhbubani is that he made close to ZERO regard about Chinese economic system (in fact he self-claimed to be a Marxist in his 2020 book Has China Own which is one big bias of him). The problem of state owned enterprise as Huang points out is the incredibly low efficiency which do not happen/largely reduced in the West by private enterprises. The sheer rise of China is that it has four times the population of the US. If china could reach any degree of the human potential the way the US can, the norm is that China should have absolutely dwarfed the US instead of still catching up in terms of GDP. Even after taking into account that the Chinese currency is undervalued and the GDP in terms of PPP in China is higher, it does not change the fact that china is extremely weak at high end such as academic research and artificial intelligence. I can not even imagine the technology innovation and groundbreaking academic research China could be producing given that the growth in these fields is already strong under such heavy suppression. Frankly for each bit of freedom the Chinese people get, they can easily surge a huge chunk of innovation. The problem is how much is Xi willing to give (though I definitely don't want to the see the shock therapy in the USSR when they went so radical they don't even have the country anymore).

@@blankspace1126 I agree with some of your points but strongly disagree with others. (i) Private Public Enterprises balance and (ii) Innovation. Lets agree to disagree as this is not the correct forum for you and I to debate. However i appreciate your insights. I am not a strong fan of neo capitalism as I do not agree with the trickle down effect based on real country specific statistics I have collected over the last 30 years this public enterprises still has a large role to play.

I'm so happy I don't live in "multipolar world" and have drinkable tap water at home. :)

@@PasserMontanus Then you are living on a different planet because we are already in multiple polar world at the moment. Denial is a start. Look around where you are at the moment and see which countries are making the products that you see.

​@@silafaupaulmeredith7251 I think blankspace1126's been living under a rock for 30 years saying state owned enterprise is incredibly low efficiency when China's state owned companies give direction to and sometimes lead entire industries. And to say that the sheer rise of China is that it has four times the population of the US? This makes no sense, look at India? His/her arguments are logical fallacies. You're right, I'm wasting my time debating here.

Democracy may not be the best way to solve the problem but the disaster caused by dictatorship is countless.

@@user-gv6tr1dr8m The US is the biggest control freak and dictator to the world in large not China. China is taking care of its own citizens according to China's own situations that has far less negative impact to humanity than what the US has done negatively impacted the the world. Why people don't talk about how much the US plays double standard toward to China and other countries? If the US is so free and democratic, then why it suppress the voice of communist in the US? Why it would jail and punish those who against American system and ideology? Why the US government still consider Julian Assange and Snowden are most wanted? Why the US government doesn't allow the demonstration to Capital Hills but supported and even sponsored unlawful and extreme violent riot happened in Hong Kong? Why people in the US cannot express anti-Israel but encourage anti-China propaganda? Why the US government and UK government banned Confucians Institute, a cultural organization that to promote Chinese culture and build bridge between the people of the US and China? Is that the freedom of cultures and political ideology? what are they afraid about if the American system is so good and right?

Excatly. USA and western system is demoncrazy. And USA UK and eventually AUS will face its stark corrupted systems UK already dying. Usa already decayed and rotten inside. Australia due to corrupted politics is going same path as USa/Uk…aukus is not good for australia as it will corrupt and indebt everything and so many people so the masses will lose on public service…and will become like america.

The problem is, when the so called dictatorship is outperforming the democracies on improving people's lives, you have to start questioning things.

One of the reasons why the US system hasn't worked as well in recent decades is precisely because of the trade, offshoring, globalisation etc. So to no small extent due to the trade with China. Which has made some rich and others poor. Of course this is not the only cause of the inequality. But a major one.

Somehow I'm seeing double 🤣

still better than communism

@@Romper45 Nice Derangement Syndrome . Communism doesn't exist anymore.

let's not forget the 300+ biolabs around the world as well; i believe there are 48 in ukraine alone. They also get to lie themselves into wars and conflicts in iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria, serbia, sudan, yemen, vietnam, korea, in countries all over south america, africa, etc. but china's the great evil country in the world!! even though western countries have either invaded china or got to destroy chinese people in their backyard (e.g. in korea and vietnam) since 1839 - for nearly 200 years!

Non sense. White americans are terrified of communism because they are scared that once they share their wife with the black neighbours then there's no going back. @@Romper45

Excellent points.

i finished high school only and i know this too.

Even if they "reform" they cannot be trusted.

He is rubbish. Basically, it is regurgitating what the stupid and closed-minded west like to hear.

He will continue to do so to keep his place 😂

This was total western propaganda crap!!!

@@SPECIALTRADER1good for you! The struggle 😊

India said the same thing 20 years ago and it didn't happen... @@indianmilitary

😂 won't be wrong right?

the title should be "The Rise and Fall of the West"

It is an insult to compare Dr. Huang with Gordon Chang, as Dr. Huang really understands the Chinese history and has the knowledge and ability to explain it to the west, where is Gordon is very biased and tries everything to smear China, and often uses false accusation and makes up things.

@accountantthe3394 Yes he is. I heard some of his arguments 10 year ago and they didn’t end well. Chinese government has done most thing right to put China in a spot light that she is now. These fools still want reform in China to destabilize her and bring chaos and hells to her people.

You are looking at a people who kill others based on 1) the person's intellect/education or 2) the person's ownership of property or 3) the person's "excessive" income/profit

@xieccs If China would go fully democratic, she will not as dominating as she is today. US will have nothing to fear cause US would have controlled China with every election. People are very ignorant to even believe that US want democracy for the good of the Chinese people.

i think you are right. not many get this point

Before anything, do Xi Jinping care about separation of power and accountability as vital to Chinese state? Or he is simply power hungry? We would not know for sure.

If you would have watched the whole video before commenting you would have heard him mention Russia as a negative example and a reason to do gradual reform.

Total rubbidh. Huang goes all over the place but no logical conclusion.

Why do you assume he knows nothing of China today?

@@timdarville4827 Blind believers of China do just like how blind believers of Abrahamic religions say " people who oppose our religions do not know anything about us".

LKY predicted that Sri Lanka will be an economic powerhouse. It's bankrupt. Indian companies have invested 60 billion USD into Singapore which in turn invests 50 billion USD into India. Btw India is the 2nd largest investor into the UK economy after the US. LKY didn't get this.

@Rapture77 Lol, Singapore is realistic. Politics can changed and uncertain and LKY is not God. China is different! By the way, We remembered how UK treated Singapore in the past and UK is not the main market! It is U.S not UK!

This was total western propaganda crap!!!

This was total western propaganda crap!!!

@@SPECIALTRADER1 Try to go live in China.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This was total western propaganda crap!!!

That only works if the person in power is moral and incorruptible. Lee Kuan Yew was an exception to the rule. Generally autocratic systems eventually produce a Mao or a Stalin or a Pol Pit or a Castro or an Idi Amin or a Chavez etc.... Not saying that liberal Western democratic governance is perfect, but it generally has self correction mechanisms that don't require collapse and revolution.

You are absolutely correct. BTW Kavin Rudd is nothing more than a con man just like Gordon Chang and this Huang.

Agree

The culture differences.

Communism is a European Invention... Mao had huge pictures of Marx and Lenin at his rallies and such

Not sure what you mean by this. That the current Chinese government is essentially a continuation of Ming Qing bureaucracy? Yes, that’s a fair point. But you really can’t understand Chinese politics in detail without understanding Leninism Maoism. That is not Confucianism

How typical! another China will great agin under communism leadership fool.

Too much western bs has got into him. 😂

I think he takes purely a pragmatic approach to argue that democracy/individual autonomy can hugely boost education, economy, the corruption, etc.

​Western liberalism is promoted to weaken and align foreign states to the US, which in turn compromises their own sovereignty. He's obviously brainwashed and takes to self hating/critical of China, as if he knows better.

This idea is beyond childishly cynical for a leader of a superpower but you must be great at articulating your own hallucinations

@@blankspace1126 Those with everything within their own powers always care more about their legacy than anything else. Atleast I have a perfectly reasonable way to explain why he did it. 😂😂

@@PseudoProphet what is the problem about caring about the legacy....

This is stupid. Xi has to do what he has done because the US has awakened to China's rapidly expanding GDP. Even from the 1950s the US has had an anti China attitude because it is governed by a Communist party. The Korean War also resulted in the US being defeated partly by China and Russia. The US supported the Dahlai Lama in Tibet in the 60's and supported India in the India-China skirmishes. Then the US openly supported the Hong Kong so-called pro-democratic rioters and openly supports Taiwan separatists with supplies of arms and training. In the face of such US animosity, how can you blame Xi for taking overt steps to strengthen China's defence and foreign policy?

Tiannanmen was engineered by the US to effect regime change because the US wanted to end communism and impose democracy and make China into another proxy state of the US.

《The Rise and Fall of the EAST: How Exams, Autocracy, Stability, and Technology brought China success, and why they might lead to its decline》- not “East”, but “EAST” for Exams, Autocracy, Stability, and Technology!

😂😂😂e can't handle it

What is your point?

No wonder there is much lesser shit and gang rapes now in China, since China is no longer Indian territory.
