Kevin Rudd: Imagining China in 2023 - China's Domestic and Foreign Posture under Xi Jinping 

Come on, leading? Nope. They are just a puppet led by the big brother.

Calling,no. Pointing it out as a possibility, sadly, yes. We all pray for reason to prevail. Many politicians are not diplomats.

How is Australia sane in thinking that going to war with China is a solution? Their economy and trade is deeply intertwined with China.

Not calling for war at all! Just pointing out that if china attacks taiwan and if the USA gets involved in a shooting war and if oz is asked to back up the USA where possible, then china will attack Australia, its just a heads up of a possibility based on Chinas threats of totalitarian expansionism.

@@rodgerhempfing2921 if China does attack Taiwan, the decision should be based on Oz commitment to defend democracy instead of a command from America. Which means, if Amercian does not defend Taiwan, Oz will not honour its pledge on defending democracy ?

this is really the outsider effect. the more sensible people in the country who experienece anciety, depression, insecurity imposed by the regime feel quite the opposite. our internet is restricted, our chat monited, this is really 1984 unfolding in reality. the so called economic reform halt, people s wealth been squandered by the state reaping gains on stock market and donating tons of money to buy friendship elsewhere whereas poverty still plague the countryside. dont let it fool u, the country is not so dynamic or secure. people gets killed in the street. just there isnt any word out. also, tons of enterprise are withdrawing from china as the official doesnt keep their promise of low tax incentive(seagate) or cant even protect companies from riot(toyata and a south korean supermarket retailer)

And USA earns the grand distinction of a country with the largest part of its population in jails and rest being monitored to death.

China is still in catch up phase, despite its phenomenon rate of change, in term of culture, science, technology and economics, even now. History would still pay higher regard to USA until China has something better to offer to the world in future.

@@Userkzb20253 catch up to what? Higher material consumption? Higher murder rates by random violence! Higher difference of rich and poor? Or the big democratic pie in the sky? What a pity that you are so enamored with the western idea of "progress". China can be better but not better judged by your standards.

@@williamwu5043 you sure have a lot of claims for someone who has not been to China with a fake Chinese name. China in the streets are far safer and that is also confirmed by many expats. Keep your lies elsewhere.

Calling all Australians barbarians is an insult. If Taiwanese people are attacked by China what will you call the Chinese? Most Australians are peaceful and law abiding. There are some people in Australia who commit crimes but this is the minority. Unfortunately more criminals are coming to Australia. The majority of Australians are peaceful and law abiding for the most part. Australia has also been generous internationally.

@@leokh88 OK then don't come here. It's OK by us.

No thanks. He failed as PM of Australia. He could be a diplomat in China I guess.

Hmmm 🤔 really ???? Naïmul - I think you are totally wrong the 🇮🇳 Indian economy has been very closely following the meteoric rise of 🇨🇳 Chinas economy - so your portrayal of it being insignificant and dysfunctional - is rather misinformed ? And sounds more like an attack on the number 2 world order ranked sovereign nation - my belief is China India Tokyo Malaysia ( population) economic America will sink to 4th world positioning ranking UK the previous world empire - around 9-10th position with nations and EU strengths maintaining them actually above the US - this is due to the European collective stability and also the geographical proximity to its own markets Russia and the Middle East - to which it is all connected by land mass - pipelines road infrastructures rail infrastructures… so in economic evolution Europe is aligned with w China

The mind set of the person who asked about China's BRI is obviously from India. I believe China invited India to be part of BRI and India refused to participate because of >>???? Surely China would plan her own future as far as trade is concerned though I tend to think that since she could not compete against China it would better she stays out. Any leader with some concern for his national trading system will naturally try to find the best way to protect its trade! The CPEC is obviously to allow that Chinese region to have access to the Indian Ocean where her African interests are.

Absolutely--our Politicians -most of them-are incompetent. As the World becomes more complicated and tricky we are need better brains to take charge. Plus our government has willingly allowed the US to control us politically and infect our people with their damaging anti China agenda. GOOD for them -VERY BAD for us.

Bring Back Kevin 07. The people loved him-the Powers [Media, US, big Corps ] did not.

@@oliveweir8508 it is not wishful thinking that a new PM should replace the present one who is just a stooge of the US!

+Peter Wang Rudd's mistake was not in his ability or vision. In fact he had an excess of both. His mistake was doing too much too fast. He lost the backing of Labor when his positions went against dogma and he was deposed by Gillard. The same thing happened in 2012; only, that he tried for PM when the Party had already soured on him. The resultant infighting and fallout caused the Australian public to lose confidence in a party that had devolved to rampant leaks, attacks and a lack of concrete policy of any kind. So we voted in a neoconservative with a penchant for gaffes. The plus side was that it reassured the average Australian voter that they had a leader who was more down on their level; perhaps a little lower. Frankly I'm surprised and a little saddened that Abbott survived as long as he did. And now we have Turnbull, a fresh man with a fresh face but pushing policies that are the same as Abbott's. Unimaginative and vain. We are spinning our tires in the wake of the commodity crunch without an exit strategy to grow the economy in a different way. The NBN might have been that big infrastructure project to give Australia the technological edge to compete in an increasingly digital world, but LNP stonewalling has ensured that it will be billions over budget and far inferior to the scope and capability it was originally intended to be. The abolition of the mining and carbon taxes - intended to combat Dutch Disease - also served to increase the budgetary deficit and destroy our capability to use that foreign capital infusion to spur other parts of the economy. The baffling switch from open competitive tenders for defense contracts to back room dealing pours billions down the drain for questionable capability at the time our armed forces reach end of life on their materiel. The current stance in foreign policy appears to be that there is no foreign policy. We now have had 5 prime ministers in as many years. Frankly, I think it reflects the power vacuum that Rudd left. It reflects the voter's increasing dissatisfaction with simply enduring, instead of progressing. Both incumbents - Turnbull and Shorten - got to where they are now, by playing Party dogma and sticking to party lines. They have not the wherewithal nor the courage to do anything more than the bare minimum.

Peter Wang Because he is too intellectual. I agree with you of course.

MonMalthias: Your comment is very true but lacks depth. You do not mention the IMF and Central Banking system's influence on politics in the land of Ozz. There is more than clear evidence that the legal system, financial system, the secret service and the Media, as well as big business, has been under the thumb of globalists for at least a hundred years.

Yes yes, let's praise the Communists including Rudd, don't be dissenting or you may be locked up. No sorry, he reminds me of rhe Mayor in the movie of Yogi Bear.

India is quiet large and is democratic. What makes you think the East is averse to democracy?

Eastern democracy is radically different. It depends on whether the nation understands diversity. India does. 29 languages with 3 major religions. That's not easy. And whether cultural capital can be passed on. China doesn't understand that.

@@acharya8959 what about yr caste segregations?

I think we need to move away from the word dominance. Cooperation would be a better mechanism for peace.

Ezekiel 25:17 Overwhelming how? I'm not disagreeing with you. Just want more details.

danpt2000 if we only identify with the big cities like Beijing Shanghai Guangzhou we are in for a big mistake. I just completed a 15 city tour which took me 2 months....starting from Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou,Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou,Zuhai, Kunming, Chengdu, Chongzhing, Wuhan and finally Changsa....all those cities are huge and well populated....in just 20 years I came before that was in 1995...I have never seen such rapid changes its mind blogeling to say the least...

Ezekiel 25:17 15 city Tour?! Wow. Are you a university student? Or just an adult taking time off for travel?

danpt2000 yup. I started my business in Shanghai last year and decided to take a long break to scout around this land

Ezekiel 25:17 Nazi Germany too impressed many but look what happened. China's fundamentals are wrong. Material progress cannot be sustained without emotional, spiritual progress. Average Chinese is like a robot, doing the bidding of the State. He/She has no civil rights, no right to religion, no right to property. Such a state is doomed in my opinion. Unless of course China figures out a way to become a full fledged democracy. If that happens, it would be a miracle.

US has infiltrated Australian thoroughly and that's why Rudd is out of Australian politics.

This year Kevin finally acknowledged Australia and himself had been wrong on China. China is a clear danger to the Western world.

Term limits have been removed but Xi still has to be re-elected by party members which will only happen if his performance continues meeting KPIs

That foreign Mister Wong Yi will be the next Leader-he's brilliant.

In some ways, Kevin Rudd's thinking was still restricted by the Western government ideas. You completely misunderstand why he removed term limits, and you also treat this with double standards. Many European chairs don't have term limits either, yet no one calls them "president for life". Every leader has their specific projects that they're working on, and it's best to not get of the driver when the train is picking up speed to go on a difficult terrain, especially since that driver would know the details and information better than any other that could take his place. In fact, terms are one of the issues with the Western countries, as nothing can get implemented. Every time someone comes into power, they try to implement this grand project which gets ripped up by the person after them. China does not want this.

@@angeliquewu8318 There is a fundamental difference in philosophy. I believe leaders should be dominated by the people, with multi-party elections every three - four years. In China, every candidate must be selected by the CCP, only 90 million people out of 1300 people. You may think differently, but that does not alter the gross loss of freedom in a one party (yes I am aware of the sub-parties) state. The Taiwanese people do not want that, and they deserve to be delivered from tyranny and oppression.
