With 400,000 children in special Olympic schools, China has the biggest mass recruitment and training programme in the world. Will it translate to medals in Rio 2016?

You do realize that EVERY question and answer in these interviews was highly controlled by the Chinese govt, right? This is how totalitarian govt's work (like N. Korea and China). The Chinese govt said to The Economist, "Ok, we'll let you do this special documentary on one condition -- WE decide exactly WHEN and WHERE you will be filming (so that we can choreograph EVERYTHING the camera sees), and WE decide WHO you will interview, and we know in advance EXACTLY WHAT QUESTIONS you will be asking them (so that we can 'coach' the interviewees on EXACTLY what to say).

That athlete to which the original commentator referred is evidently wise, and it's such a nice and honest compliment to give - I see no point in asserting that anyone who is not Chinese cannot understand what 'smart' means in China.

its called abuse in countries or cities cuz like in china, go through a selection of children and choose those they believe to be "talented" and after that they go through a hard core training everyday, where these kids hardly get to see their parents and on average, only 2-3 persons are lucky enough to be chosen to participate in the olympics. For the rest of the unchosen kids, their lives are kinda ruined due to this hard core training. They call this torture because some of the kids don't really have a choice and are forced by their parents and teachers while in countries like America, kids to choose whether they should continue or quit. As well as that, most americans aren't forced by their parents/teachers to go through this hardcore training and they can quit whenever they wish to. For the chinese kids, they don't really have much of a chance to go to a good university and their future won't be as bright cuz they spent most of their lives focusing on gymnastics and not on education like studying and stuff. If they weren't chosen for this hardcore camp and work hard, they will probably get a pretty decent job + pay, and also live life peacefully. (obviously, if the unchosen gymnasts work hard, they might get a good job and a decent pay) but like most of the kids there lose their future as most of them delicate their lives to gymnastics and hardcore training for the glory of china.

in the US they don't leave their homes, the current set up is they train with their home gyms (usually near their homes) and stay with their families.When the olympic training takes place they go for camps once every 4 weeks but still go back home for the other 3 weeks. In China the children usually leave their families at a young age if chosen. They likely won't see their parents but a hand full of times a year, if at all.

But when same things turn into Chinese, many biased western media will try to make it sound like child abuse. So please answer me, if you want to win Olympic gymnastic golds, is that possible that you don't need to pay any sweat or pain? Is that possible if you don't start at a young age? Why can't you respect the endeavor of the hard-working coaches and athletes? What did they do wrong? When they talk about their Olympic dreams, why do some of you determine immediately that they are simply brainwashed? I'm not arguing with anyone here. I am just hoping to show all my respects to the young, vibrant athletes.

The point of this clip is to highlight the statist control of China, and the (perceived) dehumanizing nature of such a system. Everyone knows greatness is the result of practice. Nobody is shaming work ethic (Americans praise east Asian work ethic), this video is about China using their people like cattle, where the perception is that no choice or freedom exist for the individual...in fact, no individual exists at all. Western society values the individual above the collective, Western Society rejects the notion that they are told by their government what to be. It's not an East versus West thing, it's an open society democracy against a China thing. Koreans, Japanese, Singaporeans? Like many Asian peoples? Parents push the kids hard, and this creates payoffs....good academic performance, good work ethic, low crime rates etc. South Koreans dominate female golf, the Japanese excel at many things, Singaporeans barely sleep they're so busy studying, working, creating an incredibly successful country....and they receive praise from the West without any "but"s, because they're democracies (Singapore is an odd democracy, that doesn't always look like a democracy I concede), and their people have a say in how their country operates. This has payoffs that China doesn't always experience....because China stifles creativity, and individualism at times....this is why K-Pop from little South Korea is huge, why Korean automobiles, tech is global. This is why Japan is a massively influential country in style, culture, film, authors, anime etc,etc.....countries that have rigorous East Asian work ethic, academic pursuance...BUT also value individuals and their creativity as individuals. Chinese people work just as hard as Koreans, Japanese. Chinese people have great academic results like Koreans and Japanese....yet despite dwarfing both in size, China's global cultural, intellectual, footprint isn't as big. Chinese people in the US and Canada? They kick ass....they're highly educated, family oriented, peaceful, very successful....but they get to choose who they want to be, and in their behalf, and not on the behalf of others.... which is what the West values, and believes everyone else should value.

monkeymajix Who called it child abuse? The United States also has different demographics than every industrialized country on earth....which is a polite way to note that the US has 90 million African and Latino Americans, who account for a massively disproportionate part..of well, every single statistic people like to throw at the US negatively. The clear fact? Americans descended from European whites tend to have the same exact social metrics (education levels, academic scores, crime rates, abuse rates, murder rates etc,etc) as European whites. Asian Americans tend to mirror many of the metrics of East Asians. Mexican Americans tend to have the same issues as Mexicans, African Americans (who have, by far the greatest issues) do better than Africans, but still exceptionally poorly. Blacks and Latinos are a major percentage of child abuse. American white abuse rates mirror Canadian white abuse rates. If you've found some magical way (no country on earth has by the way) to make Black African, Latino American (of high Amerindian ethnic heritages) descended people to have low crime, low abuse, low murder, low crime rates, high education, high test score rates? You've solved an issue sociologists, academics, economists have tried, and failed, to remedy for decades. America will always have these negative rates compared to other industrialed nations, because the US is the only nation with demographics of its kind that has ever been successful

People are freaking out because of that tablet thing. Yes in almost all asian countries Tablets, Phones and all such things are considered to be distractions and the one's who have them are sometimes seen as spoiled kids. I'm myself 17 and i just got a phone before this i only had a cheap Chinese phone with no internet in it (i was allowed to use WiFi for 3-4 hours). Asian parents think that these things are distraction during thr school age or young age of child. Almost 90% asian kids under the age of 15 don't own a phone and its normal we don't ask for it as we we're taught to live without it😂 . Edit I see people getting offended y'all need to chill, those born around 2000 (late 90s) did get their phones late but the one's after 2005 or so got them early my own sibling born in 2008 got his phone/tab at the age of 10 so yes times have changed but ya some are still strict about it

This video is so biased and should not be published by a large media institution like the Economists. First of all, only a small portion of the kids spend full time in these camps(the most talented kids). Most kids in the camp are sent there by their parents for developing hobbies(specialties) or just keeping fit. I played tennis in a camp at that during weekends for 5 years. Secondly, these camps exist in almost in every country. It’s similar with the football, hockey academies in Europe. And those kids who spend full time in the camp do study, they spend about 4-5 hours on training and about 5 hours on studying. Last but not least, the government do take care of these kids if they couldn’t become a pro. Some athletes can become coaches or get a job at the local government(state owned companies). Many of them who have good academics can even go to universities and get scholarships.

I have got to say I am impressed by the coaching here. I have watched and compared the coaching to when I was learning in America and it is different. The parents and grandparent are always disciplining the young skaters, most are home schooled if they are serious about competing, and one thing I admire is most skaters wear something with CHINA on it. When I was skating I never once had that mentality of one day skating for my country. For them, it is a sense of pride to be Chinese and bring a medal & honor home.

Yeah you might feel that this is “child abuse” but let’s be honest, majority of us were put into a sport as a child or wanted to be in one. However, we didn’t get the support or the discipline we needed to keep going which is why we gave up when it “became too hard.” I think if we had these kinds of facilities outside of China, then children will not only be given the opportunity that many may not have but also be able to build even closer and stronger relationships with their coaches, themselves, and with their teammates.

Second, the Chinese Government recruits children at age six and sends them to an Olympic school? They have over 400,000 children in these state run and funded schools? We don't do that in America! Our programs are privately funded. Even our Olympic team has to get corporate sponsors. The fact alone that China's Olympic strategy included the Chinese Government spending over 1 Billion dollars in an effort to beat the United States reeks of an inferiority complex.

I've met them, they have pissed off a lot of people I've talked to, when it comes to wildlife conservation, and other issues. One of the examples is when one guy got pissed when, he told them that a specific type of fish are out of season, and that it's illegal to fish them. So they took the fish while it's also too small as well. Hence they ignored him, and fucked up part of the ecosystem of that area.

This hurt to watch. Translation is a disaster, twisting the words, even slightly at times, but enough to shed a negative light on them. Title is embarrassing. It is not secretive, they wouldn't have filmed a whole documentary about it otherwise. THEY ARE NOT PRODUCTS. They are people sacrificing their all to pursue their dreams. Depressing music and twisted narration that dehumanise the athletes. They are people determined to pursue their dreams and their government gives them the means to. Simple as that. Every athlete around the world trains as hard, because it's the only way to get to the top. TL;DR : video dehumanises Chinese athletes for simply training hard to achieve their dreams. They are not forced to.
