Young people debate human rights in China and the U.S. 

"If the US saw what the US is doing in the US, US would invade the US " 🤣🤣🤣🤣......debate over !!.....

She mentioned fair maternity leave as a pro on the American side and I about spit out my tea. The maternity leave is a joke unless you are upper-middle class and above. I had my child via emergency c-section and was forced to go back to work 2 weeks later or loose my job. So don’t spout fair maternity leave as a pro here in the USA. There are many, many people here that *DON’T* get fair or even *reasonable* maternity leave.

That blonde lady just shows how little the 'woke' youth know about the stuff they're preaching

US doesn't think everyone's human, so , actually, comparing apples and oranges here.

The U.S human rights is definitely hypocritical ..as far as the debate the Chinese were more factual in their response.

can't believe they didn't bring up the fact that the land of the free leads the world in incarceration rate....like by a long shot too

Imagine something like this happening on US media where the opposing side defends China or Russia lol

When the Chinese team debates you in your language, and you couldn't speak a word in Chinese. Rest assured they know you much better than you know them. This debate is over before it even starts.

Maybe it would be more interesting to invite Julian Paul Assange and Edward Joseph Snowden to talk about freedom of speech as well as human right.

I borrowed this from a Malaysian RU-vidr’s comment (This message has been censored on RU-vid, I replaced some letters of the text with numbers to avoid the YT algorithm): I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous 'bl4ck-cat and wh1te-cat' story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per musl1m than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low d*rty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.

The US order the ICC investigate all incidents in all countries but never allowed to investigate its own wrong doings.

US prioritizes money over human rights. Oh yeah, everyone has the right to do X in the US, provided they have the money! Regards from Austria.

Talking about genocide, USA should put its hand on its heart and reflect on the tragic history of its indigenous people and Africans.

Free Julian Assange and pardon Snowden before talking about Human Right.

When you come to US, you will find the human right is actually another word for Privilege of upper class.

i love how the opposition are all students against literal people who head their respective departments...how about you bring more established profs and lecturers from the west

Mass shootings and killings are the highest rights in the UasSA. Practised on a weekly basis.

I have never been to Xinjiang or China in general. And I don't think any of the American/western politicians have been to Xinjiang either. So how can these people talk so confidently of the supposed human rights violations in Xinjiang when they've never been there? Another thing, as an American, it's hypocritical of me to criticize other governments because my governments rotten to the core. Also, it just doesn't add up. If there is a genocide going on in Xinjiang. It would be the first genocide where there hasn't been a refugee crisis. It would be the first time in modern history where satellite imagery has yet to capture mass graves, or executions, or anything that one would consider "genocidal". If your argument is that "cultural genocide" is happening. There are ten times more mosques in Xinjiang than the whole of the US. And the Uighur population is increasing. So what the West is saying just doesn't add up. Another thing is the US/Western government/media lies all the time. So how can I trust what they say?

This condescending attitude of the blonde lady this whole video is so bad and annoying this whole debate. When she comments on China educating more Xinjiang residents in Mandarin just because of oil. Xinjiang is a part of China and not a foreign country. With learning the language of the country in which a person resides more opportunities will naturally arise. This women makes no sense with her responses most of the time. From an American I also find their responses weak. If you live in the US as a low-income person which I am and the subject matter is where a lot of my research is based. Theory with people looking from the outside and reality of American freedom are two completely different things.

If the press in the United States was truly free then you would not have all of the press on the left saying the exact same talking points for each news topic

In the 4 minute speech, the US side was arguing from the statistics. However, I wonder those statistics are based on what? Based on which ideology? We often got in trap of using one side as standards but ignore the rest.

24:24 To answer your question: USA is like a father who does not work, does not bring food to the table and tells his kids "if you are hungry, cry! I gave you the right to complain!" But China is like the father who worked hard and brings home food for his kids... Kids had nothing to complain.

I wish they would bring students from he USA, to debate instead of this staged debate. They would be crushed

Wang Yuhang’s closings remarks makes me think that after his American education and return to Tsinghua University he never left the campus because he also has no idea what is happening in China.

The Proposition had argued better then the Opposition. The Opposition had a more difficult case to argue as they try to give an alternate facts like “self reflection”. Both side have done well. But it is clear that the Proposition team has won the debate as they have been more persuasive based on facts.

That blonde woman was basically wobbling she showed her fully anti China self but she got absolutely destroying answers and she got roasted.

Anil Rai, I totally agree, you have made a very strong point here, if China is not a place of freedom of speech, this debate wouldn’t be happening. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 good point n thank you for point it out.

We have to add the fact the Chinese were speaking a foreign language

Human rights should be about human needs not wants.

China’s COVID response: No human right US’s COVID response: No human left

I've been a citizen of the United States my whole life and I think the Asian culture and what you have is correct I feel out of place where I have for a very long time since I could remember as a child I think that shelter food and own personal freedoms but the collective should always remain

I'm glad CGTN is allowing people to debate this. I haven't found any debates like this on Western media.

I'm an Indian and everyone here knows ...usa don't care about human rights or something like that..they are just taking this as an opportunity to say something bad about china on world stage...for usa it's not a fight about human rights it's about their world dominance,status or economy

You should get a bunch of American to argue for their country, that'll be a laugh.

End disputes, work for betterment with a larger vision, so that the future may remember us. My dear fellow Humans🙏🏼

Great debate, and so much needed ... Keep this up world need more discussions like this on all sorts of issues. To bring nations brains and hearts closer together and teach them cooperate and not so much compete

I think both sides know that the USA is the loosing side when it comes to Human Rights !

Who laughed when they heard: "If the US saw what the US was doing to the US, The US would invade the US to liberate the US from the tyrany of the US." LMAO!

Please more debates CGTN. This was great.

Thank you for providing this debate. Very good insight. 👍

It is true that whatever policy makes, it is about who can deliver...

It should be noted that if NATO member countries genuinely seek to institutionalize human rights in Afghanistan and Iraqis, they have to facilitate probing war crimes in the country by the ICC. Further, the rights and dignity of Afghan and Iraqi civilians should no more be violated under the term "war on terror”

Thanks for CGTN not being biased on either side, every open-minded host as well. Both teams did a great job by not being irrational. I'm not from China nor the U.S., China won the debate in my opinion as they stated all the facts and truthful statements, the U.S. lost some points by not giving sufficient facts towards China (sometimes only pure propaganda). Besides, you can't have perfect problems solving processes and perfect outcomes. I watched a video of some Uighurs threaten to kill Han Chinese. (I'm assuming) China immediately placed them in a concentration centre. Not to kill them or torture them but to reeducate them, feed them, providing essentials needs on a daily basis and make sure the extreme thoughts are gone then Uighurs will be released. **Not a perfect solving process, but have good outcomes.** The west did was freedom first which led to thousands of people deaths and created hatred in the society. **good solving process for some people, but worse outcomes.** Freedom, it's a very abstract subject and answers are varied. There is no freedom without boundaries happened in the world, then we have to ask ourselves how many percents of freedom is freedom? 25% , 50% or 75%?

This is a poorly constructed debate, most probably done purposely to highlight the merits of the Chinese interpretation of human rights. Though it is not without its merits, and though it is true the US suffers from atrocious issues of human rights and inequalities within its borders, the defining difference is that the US publicly takes accountability for these issues, and makes the necessary change in course to rectify the issues, (however effective remains to be seen). When human rights issues arise in China, the typical approach is to censor it, deny it, erase from history. For an autocratic ruler cannot be seen to make apologies, be remorseful, make mistakes for it would be seen as weak. Ironically that is the weakness of such a system. And if this is not a moral issue, but rather a practical issue, as debators of the proponent argues, then the practical matter is that this approach will overtime lead to an weak society as select oppressed groups are stomped out and resentment builds among citizens for the lack of government accountability. Moreover, it creates a system where people are afraid to apologize and course correct for fear of appearing weak. Let us see how long this comment stays up for, as it is a China-controlled channel.

"Oh Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!" -Madame Marie Jeanne Roland

It would be really interesting if: ''Half way through the debate the teams had to swap sides and argue for the opposite proposition''.

The most important aspect of democracy inorder for it to work is that people need to have critical thinking. But it is what most people in USA and Canada and most of the western countries lack in 2021.

I literally choked when that man says "oh wait a minute it isn't". I was expecting a super.... idk how to explain but that's just hilarious.

Veronica's going to move to america for a little while and have her position changed by the realities of america

The winners are the proposition. The opposition side arguments are full of opinion without factual basis and they seems to have nothing much to argue. I've many points to argue them as well.

Correction: China lifted 850 million out of poverty per World Bank.

More debates like this please!!

The “self reflection” has been the typical response from the the USA as a feel good response to criticism. However, in reality they have in recent years (especially the Trump administration) have deflected rather than self reflection.

I like the arguments presented by Zoon Ahmed Khan, the Pakistan girl in the proposition team. And also Enoch Wong’s delivery.

Black lady at opposition: brought Hongkong in the topic... Pakistani lady: *trap card activated* Opposition found naked 😆

How difficult it was for those four brilliant young adults to defend the US on the subject of human rights.

The debate of two different idea taking place in a very civilized way is enough for me to say china is way better when it comes to freedom of speech.

Let’s debate human rights in Iraq and the US. US: Never mind, we’ve beaten up Iraq because they had weapon of massive destruction (don’t ask me where it is), and they had no human rights by the way.

Common sense You guys miss the good points China doesn't have freedom of speech. And lots of prisoners of politicians in jail Please!!🙏❤

Realy great debate! We should see more debate like this one at TV.

Respect China..from Thailand👍😍

Gaokao is one of the fairest ways. Rural kids can study really hard and get into top universities in China like tsinghua which is even ranked high amongst the world. Meanwhile in the US, just having good test scores isn’t gonna get you into top Universities like Harvard, MIT etc.

It's funny how a country without freedom of speech is debating, and what's more shocking is the ignorance from the other side.

This turns into a personal and national attack instead of a proper debate. What a shame.

This debate is a bit too amateurish. I'd like to see Einar Tangen and Kishore Mahbubani face off against Mike Pompeo and Tom Cotton and watch them crush the Americans in a proper debate.

Damn this video is so free. How come it’s not available in Chinese or Chinese subtitles

How about including South-America, Africa, and Europe next time, make the debate teams more equal (in regards to their education level), and discuss how we can join forces to assist communities in need 😮

😂 that blond girl looked wise but when choose to start her debate with corruption i just lost it.

Human rights is very complicated issues, in the west even the killer have human right. Very sad for the family who lost there beloved.

There should be a debate like this but between a team from the China side and team from the USA side.

I lost it when I heard the girl say the national highschool examinations are biased towards regional people, what is this, opposite day?

The Chinese side, highly educated and informed, that is human right, from Yemen

The Pakistani lady is beautiful and smart at the same time.

The debate itself has showed the winner.

57:37 "Secession would destroy the only democracy in existence and prove for all time - to both future Americans and the world - that a government of the people could not survive." - Abraham Lincoln "Is there, in all republics, this inherent and fatal weakness? Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?" asked Lincoln of Congress on - Abraham Lincoln July 4, 1861.

There's exactly an African promoting a European ideology of democracy, but she can't point to one single African country that is prosperous under democracy. #ados

Here's the question : what is the definition of "human rights"? Do we humans see each other equally?

"The measure of a civilization is how it treats its weakest members.”

Excellent debate.. very refreshing 🤔❤️

Any Freedom and Any rights must have the element of responsibility without it becomes license theres no absolute Freedom and Rights the majority of the common Good super ceded any Freedom and any kind of individual rights this is how Asian people view what is Rights.

A very interesting debate of human rights in the US and China but in the end I think the proposition delivered a more compelling argument supporting the lifting of 700 million people out of poverty through collective rights rather than individual rights. In my opinion, the proposition team is the winning team having presented a cogent argument in support of the topic "Which country's definition of human rights support humans more?"

What's amazing is CGTN having this debate, and I initially thought this would be biased and soft towards China but no, it was actually quite fair and had really great moments of arguements. Now imagine if CNN, MSNBC or FOX would ever invite a group of debaters from China, not some Chinese Americans, a group from China itself to go over and debate them on live TV. NEVER!! hahahaha

Relatively speaking, it is less fair for rural people than urban people in China under the Gaokao system, and by extension, the Hukou system. However, relative to any feasible alternative to the Gaokao system, specifically in China, the Gaokao system is still the most fair. It is important to remind people who may be unfamiliar that the reason why China has had civil service entrance exams for thousands of years is so that even the child of poor countryside peasants can study hard and become a top government official.

The only right i need is the right to have affordable housing, affordable healthcare, quality education and quality public transportation. I wonder who would win this.

Give the opposition some credit. They trying to convince people the earth is flat; you try argue as the opposition. Both side is practicing the art of debate which I think is good. Friendly debate is always a good thing.

Kate is do weird she claim that her time is short implying her time was cut short but she finishes her speech everytime before the bell. Lmao

Yes you are free in the USA to starve, free to beg in the streets, free to get ripped off over health care, free to be discriminated against, ect,

In the US Declaration of Independence it says : “ All men are created equal “ What a joke !

out of the 8 participants in this debate, ms khan from parkistan impresses me the most. but overall, this debate has clearly delineated the differences between the viewpoint from each side. well done!!

Im from Chicago. My parents are former immigrants so I have the physical characteristics of an indigenous person. What the Chinese said rocked my soul. All my life I’ve faced institutionalized discrimination in school, work, in life overall. I have suffered so much bullying and manipulation. I want to escape the United States. I have no purpose here. My life sucks. Oh well. This is the deck of cards life gave me…

The "Proposition Team" overall kept calm and composed. They appeared to do the better job getting their points across in this debate. The "Opposition Team" did not seem as calm and composed. They seemed a little more defensive. It almost looked as though they were trying to convince themselves about the points they tried to bring up. I could feel this just by looking at the expressions on their faces.

Tsinghua U?? Wow.. All of them come with brain surely, this is interesting..I would save this for tomorrow morning

China is One Country & Mandarin is the National Language ...so everybody in China must know

As an American, the Chinese won the debate. Our university had lost it way and these Americans foreign policy students have lost touch with the majority Americans, these students only apply what they’re learn in class but never have experiences and interact with real Americans especially on the street these students would be afraid to come down and see what’s going on in the street of America, while China welling to go on the street and talk to all class/society of peoples.

The world will benefit from more young, intelligent, and wise people like Ms. Khan.

I just started to watch this video. To me , human rights is to be provided with good governance which in turn will provides jobs to everyone, good housing policies, good education, good Medicare, all the great social benefits ( not welfare benefits).

The host was very gracious as would be expected of a CGTN host, clearly China is by far the stronger for human rights. I felt sorry for the USA side, they didn't have a chance and essentially lost on all points. The China team was basically shooting ducks in a barrel, it was a slaughter.

I like this debate. They bring out a lot of different issues from both sides. Now if only we can combine the good and suppress the bad, we can build a better world for all
