Understanding the rise of China | Martin Jacques 

I hope Philippines can get along with China again just like during our pre-colonial days.

Are you Taiwanese?

All Asian nations should unite including Japan with China or there will always be trouble in our region.

Wow I was watching a video about a railway tunnel just now and you were there too in a comment thread about China. Have some rest. I'm out of here bye.

高木直美 You such an idiot

Luke you clearly don’t get the statement.

Luke ofcourse I don’t get you, you make no sense.

Luke jokes need context, Apple and oranges jokes aren’t funny but rather retarded.

You are funny. CCP’s been only around for 70 years and most of the time before that China’s only been mostly playing with itself and its small circle

@Luke I get that feeling

The West simply doesn't want to understand China. At this rate they'll have to in the near future, whether they like it or not.

@@damblebee1253 Even if they do, what do you expect will happen when will happens with all the atomic bombs everywhere? do you belive they will let China take the country or will just send out the bombs? when China moves, that will be the time when humans will die out, it's that easy of a problem.

​@@UmbraWeiss I don't know what you're talking about.

The ego problem.. and cant even admit it

also the 2020 projection was wrong. China's economy is not even close to being larger than America's.

Happy new year

He got it mostly right except for Hong Kong. Should have added the caveat, there will be one country - two systems.... unless hk goes for independence and separation. Otherwise , most has aged well.

Hi

Here

That applies not only to China but to the rest of the civilized world. Never listen to the Westerner because they have no clue.

MrShamsiyah and yet...and yet the west has dominated for the last 500 years

That s correct

Usa made China grow and develop economically since the contracts by President Nixon .

They've grown fast BECAUSE they listen to (and steal from) the western world...

@@coreycox2345 this man constructs bullshit, the chinese government was treatened plenty in the last thousand years.. And has already taken a completely different stance on the 2 systems 1 country idea in HK he is also completely wrong to even consider Taiwan to be a Chinese from a new world perspective, they are a sovereign state in almost every sense.. Taiwan may be primarily han Chinese in terms of genetics but they identify as Taiwanese - and they are not communist sympathisers and sheep.. He doesn't even mention ancient Chinese philosophy, the mandate of heaven, the idea that ultimate corruption cannot be sustained, he glosses over literally some of the worst atrocities in modern history to make China sound well and good when it's clearly evil..

@@robertbrown1338 Israel must be an angel for you.

@@robertbrown1338 But we don't have a dynasty now, just look in my eyes.

@@robertbrown1338 What is this “mandate of heaven” I keep hearing Westerners yapping about? It might be astonishing news for you but there wasn’t even a concept of “heaven” before Christianity came to China. The word that got translated into “heaven” actually refers to natural order of things. The term that got translated into “mandate of heaven” should be more akin to the meaning of a sense of destiny, or a sense of purpose granted by a higher power (wouldn’t say God because technically there isn’t a God in Chinese culture, either. It’s more of an aggregate of anything beyond human comprehension. In other words, we have a loose definition of gods, where buddha, ancient deity, spirits, and our renowned ancestors have tea, and Jehova, Allah, Mohammad and Jesus are also invited) In short you can just translate “mandate of heaven” simply to “fate”. What is so evil about that? And while ancient philosophers theorized that emperors were fated to rule, they also acknowledged the importance of the support of the people. People are like water and the rulers like boat. Water can float a boat. Water can sink a boat. But I guess that doesn’t attract nearly as much attention from Westerners as the weirdly overly religious translation of “mandate of heaven”.

哈喽

I'm Chinese and was born in the US. I love every country. I love all people. Borders and countries separate us, but at the end of the day, I firmly believe in the good we of all people on this planet.

Moon Leah the fact that you were born in the United States just discredits any relation to you being Chinese. What percent of Chinese people do you think of any exposure to anything outside of China. More so what percent of Chinese people do you think either leave China let alone come to expose anything different other than what they're told you think of something different.. furthermore even if they are able to think differently about experiences that are different outside of what they're told and what their confined to, how often do you think they come up with unique or alternative understandings of alternative experiences that are alternative to what they experience? When's the last time somebody in China had any thought that was unique, interesting, palatable , sociable or humorous to the rest of the world, artistic on a sake of its own, and not inherently racist or of some commoditized false value such as its approximation to Western value or Western Norms or expectations or the lack thereof! China is a plague, a rutheless efficient blistering machine set out to attain what ends? I don't even think it's self knows what will satisfy it's endless perfectionism at everyone else's expense itcluding itself. I don't know maybe it's just me but it seems like Chinese people are pretty self-centered non altruistic and lacking the basic principles probably needed to humanize itself in this global world. I feel like they treat the rest of of the world as we would treat aliens at an intergalactic space Market in which we are unhappy with the vendor we are dealing with . But remained poised and businessmen likeish

apparently, lots of westerns will do that only after American stock market collages

Yes,see from your eyes

The problem is that more than 50% of Americans cannot travel

It's not that easy, not a lot of people have the means to travel...

Lucas Cosi ..... we don’t need to go there. That is what the internet is about. And there are many many Chinese here who tell us what it is like from all different angles. And some tell the truth and some lie. So the more you talk with the better it will be.

What China was ; includes being so arrogant during the Industrial Revolution that it floundered like a third World Country despite the West offering technology to improve during 18th & 19th Centuries. China never Navigated the Globe then ; they refused Sextants offered by the British because it was Western technology. Worse , when most of the modern world was using Tractors for farming, the Chinese were still using Animals to plough their fields ; again they were late to get onboard. The US and Western Countries never understood what China was - that could be said of China's understanding of the West. Just for instance ; what the Viking's used for Steel in their Swords took China a thousand years to match in metallurgy quality. Today , China cannot make reliable Jet Engines or even Advanced Micro Chips - they still have a long way to catch up in technology. The Chinese are very, very capable as individuals ; their Culture is what holds them back.

Korea, Singapore, Japan were the same as Taiwan in the history, achieving economy miracle under dictatorship. Typical democracy country (UK USA FR ETCT) lacks of long terms continuous plan on development, this 8 year gov walked 8 steps and the next 8 year gov pull him back 4 steps.

张天元 Like a Chinese official said, "Would you let your 3 year old child go earn his own meals, compete with adults in the 'free market'? No, he would starve to death. Then why should we do this to our business?" The "no regulation, small government free market" is a western trap, so that the international giants can slaughter the developing countries' companies and eat all their markets.

No, rather something wrong in the Western mentality in Anglo-Saxon-Allied Nations. predominance or not, China need not apply to us than our own Absolutist forms of Government. Mr. Jacques challenges that fundamental belief on Government, as his predecessor, Jean Jacques Rousseau did two centuries ago, and promotes the necessary development in human thought, not just in human rights, but in respecting others and their differences - the West must undertake.

paulmaking1980 as a Chinese I expect westerners to be arrogant and I hope they continue to overlook China. :) at the end we see what happens

Historically China never had predominance. Unless you speak about Asia. But not once it has the highest economy per capita. And for its Nation economy it was only during the Song dynasty that it has the world highest economy. But just for 200 years. And the West dominate the world in every ways, science, military economy since the 15th century.

Le noir Are you kidding me? The Han Dynasty matched the Roman Empire, the Tang Dynasty was when China pulled way ahead of the world. These were before the Song Dynasty. Even after the Mongol Conquests, the first half of the Ming Dynasty dwarfed European economies. It was the post Zheng He isolation in the later Ming Dynasty that coincided with the Renaissance that allowed Europe to catch up, and even then, it took the stagnant Qing dynasty, coupled with the Industrial revolution in Europe before the West overtook China. And it did so only with the resource available from their colonial holdings in Africa, India, South East Asia and the New World! The irony was that the reason Europeans started their colonial empires to begin with was to protect and promote their trade with China! China was no doubt biggest deal for much of the past 2000 years!

@LE Noir I think you need to take a world history class to get your facts straight...

Mr. Li also said, "I never thought that the so-called Western-style democracy would bring about progress. In fact, it would bring more chaos and retrogression."

Yes,I strongly agree. Westerners use democracy to cheat a lot of developing countries, because most of developing countries don’t have enough ability to assure everyone’s right

True

If China didn't have control over Hong Kong, their economy would be no where near where it is today. Free trade and democracy is exactly the reason for their prosperity.

Durant Rza clearly you don’t understand China

Obviously there is bitterness there. Oh, also I would like to have concentration camps in my country.

I think it’s a myths that developing countries are bitter. They are approaching China (not the West) for development as they see the Chinese model to a viable alternative with favorable conditions compared to dealing with the West. China’s rise is the rise of the developing world.

Lol... everything in the market is designed by USA, Germany, Italy or Japan. China only designs crap...

when we get strong，never invade others

We kinda did though. China didn't become this huge country from the 中原 central plain by friendly inviting others to join in. Also we invaded Korea and Vietnam several times, and Japan once if you count the Mongol Yuan dynasty as China too.

Communist China is what is wrong with China today. Bullying other smaller countries over small island dispute is what it is good at doing, I have no doubt that what happen in the past world war had put China back in terms of economic conditions. Many millions of lives lost due to atrocities China committed to its people. Chinese Communist party are just an organize Mafia nothing more, they have Law and Policy, but continuing using the Law of the Jungle.

NO . yours is a wild exaggeration ; China was defeated , broken-up & over run in that 5,000 years. From the Arabs to the Mongols to times of civil war and implosion - there was no real continuity. Before 1644 AD they had no means to Sail to the other side of the Globe ; whether by Navigation or Ships capable of such a Journey. They never even had the Metallurgy to make powerful Cannons. European Ships were more sea-worthy and capable of Sailing to China (as they did) however, the Chinese never reached European Waters until more recent Centuries.!. As to the list of Chinese inventions prior to 1644 ; Europe overall , would exceed China by at least ten fold.
