Two very intelligent and honest gentlemen!
So glad to see that Einar Tangen's on your program! 👍Great conversation!!
Jerry, the USA claimed they are ahead in 6G chips in collaboration with Japan.
I don't think the US are even in the ball park with 5G yet but chips and Gs are different things - 5G is the fifth generation of communications - China is already experimenting with 6G and I'll be honest here, it's not my topic so I don't know what the UD and/or Japan are doing, whether is is a competitor of China's or couple cmpliment but wouldn't it be great if we could all work on this stuff together instead of competing all the time!
Thanks Jerry and Einar for your discussion. The two of you are the most articulated, rational and truthful people around. I have the greatest admiration for you two.😀👍
Thanks Joseph
I must say this is a fantastic conversation between two brilliant + smart + humble gentlemen. Jerry's channel is an awesome learning platform.

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
nice to hear two mature and well informed adult talking...
Always informative without any frills.
Einar Tangen is the authority on China I listen to. Tks for having him on ur program.
Jerry so glad you invited great intelligent individuals like yourself, Einar Tangen always so objective 👌👍🙏yes please invite Warwick Powell another equal intelligence speaker
I will, but it will need to wait until I'm back from my trip, I'll be in Tibet next week for about a week - after that, I'd love to get together with Einar and Warwick
Thanks Jerry very informative and truthful. A great conversation.
🙏🙏Great respect for both of you for all your educational contributions🇨🇳.🕊️🕊️ Well done ! Keep going! 💪💪👏👏

Thank YOU too
Dear Mr. Tangen,
This is the motto in America 🇺🇸 nowadays, regardless of whether it is in business settings or judiciary legalized settings ..IT IS: "THIS IS NOT HOW WE WORK..PERIOD.."..No wonders the USA'S government's leadership officials are having problems WORLDWIDES because everyone else's works on more reasonable and applicable methods than the USA'S government's leadership official's DICTATORSHIPS of "Their ways or the highways"..BTW, highways are the BEST WAYS to take when the freeways are congested at bottlenecks..PERIOD..
Jerry, many thanks for Einar Tangen to your discussion. I have held him in the highest esteem for his knowledge and down to earth accurate analysis of China without the vitriol and misinformation of the American establishment.
If my government acted in my best interests id be more than happy for them to consolidate power but unfortunately we aren't that lucky in the so called free world!
Set up a CCP like party in yout country then and you can vote for them. Good luck
Thank you so very much for sharing your informative perspective insights about Motherland, China. Absolutely Fascinating!👍🙏🇨🇳🙂☮️🌏❗️
What a pleasant (and informative) discussion. Loving these topics and guests! Thanks Jerry!
An intelligent conversation that stimulates the mind. Thank you both.
Nice to have Einar Tangen in the show. Plenary sessions are where the China government has final discussions and decisions on its long-term planning --- the five-year plan and even preliminary planning as far as the year 2035. Furthermore, there is the issue of modernization and national rejuvenation. In terms of geopolitics, things are changing fast and sanctions being imposed upon suddenly, third or fourth plenary sessions are necessary to be held to make adjustments and amendments.
Very true, sometimes there are just two, sometimes there are four but the third seems to be the one that makes the most impact in Western media, they write a lot about what China won't be doing and how this is just a nothing meeting - in fact, they write so much about it, it's hard to believe that this is not very important and they know it but want to play it down - otherwise, why write about it?
Einar's explanation of context on tianamen incident is eye opening!
Yes, Einar is good at opening eyes
Thks Jerry and Eigan for your high quality talks articulation wisdoms The best of the best It makes me want want to listen and listen to you more and more
Thanks Helen
never stop learning new things, thank you!
Einar Tangen is a fantastic guest! Please have Mr. Tangen back as a regular guest!
Real people are discussing real issues👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you both it was a good talk 😊
Wonderful video. I read that Einar is of Norwegian and Korean descent, and Einar is a common Scandinavian name connected to Norse mythology. Einar's gas is of educational value whereas the US government's gas kills innocent lives.
Yes, I knew Einar was a Norse name, it's a very old name indeed - I had no idea of the Korean heritage though
Awesome interview talk Jerry with Einar Tangen .. !!!
Having lived/worked/played in China for 38 years great to see/hear a couple of other "Old China Hands" spreading the message. Made me smile.
Thanks - my paltry 20 years seems like nothing in comparison!
Wow, Jerry you managed to get Einar on your show finally, I did watched that CGTN interview where both of you were guest. I followed Einar on CGTN for many years. Einar is a well respected political commentator and very knowledgeable in every aspects of China! Thank you both you and Einar .
Thanks David, I first met Einar on Liu Xin's The Point and have been a fan of his for a long time before and since - I actually met him in Beijing a couple of years ago and found him to be every bit the gentleman he appears to be on camera when we met in person.
I'm connected to him through Warwick Powell now and we're starting to build some great networks of good people - I hope this is just the start of many good/great cooperations
Great to have Einar on your show! 👍
Yes it was!
As always, I really enjoyed your conversation. Thanks gentlemen.
What a combination two very thoughtful gentleman seeking to have an intelligent conversation!
Thumbs up as usual Jerry.👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you again
Very illuminating discussion. Thank you Jerry and Eiger
Thank you too
Einar Trangen has always been the best guest Al Jeezeera invites on China topics. Too bad American media never invite anyone like him to speak for the other side.
That is very true, he's not the sort of guest Western media ever want
Excellent point on 64 in relation to Cultural Revolution, which is a painful and deep scar on generations who recollect times prior to China’s opening up! Like the leading actor’s line in the movie produced in TW about those 10 years, “Heavenly God and Goddess, never ever again we beg you.”
I am glad both of you are speaking out for China in the interest of justice and fairness.
Thank you Jerry for having Einar on your show. Excellent fact-based discussions. I've watched Einar go up against other guests on other shows. Einar is very calm and collected; only dishing out facts. And yet, other guests resort to bombastic behavior and sensationalism to dispute those facts. Facts are facts
He's great isn't he!
@@jerrystakeonchina799 absolutely
Thanks to both of you, Salute
Excellent questions and answers. So interesting that I watched to the end. Thank you to both of you.
Thanks Larry, Einar is a very easy guest to have on the show, he's just so knowledgeable
@@jerrystakeonchina799 With your leading questions and complementary remarks, he answered them with insights and experience. I learned a lot for this 1.5 hours session. One of the best is the consensus decision making. I am happy and comfortable after having a glimpse of how various challenges are being explored and tackled within China. Thanks for bringing him in your talk. Looking forward to you next one with him.
I listened to Einar's talks many times and he always looked serious. First time saw him talked in a relaxed and friendly manner. Inviting you to dinner in Beijing is a sign of him accepting you as a good friend. Your circle of expert friends are growing.
I'm a great admirer of Einer Tangen, always listen carefully to what he has to say. Great to see him on your channel.
Me too Ron, I was very happy when he agreed so readily
Excellent talk!
That was a job well done. You hit most of the common stereotypes about China - micro and macro. It was commendable.
Thank you -it's great that I was able to have Einar on but it did mean I needed to be extra well-prepared too
Thanks for this. H/T from Alaska.
No matter how you see it, state enforced truth telling and omitting, is better than state buying of lying and truth omitting.
Enlightened!
Thanks
I agreed with Mr. Tangen on China 🇨🇳 doesn't think things are black and white as 🐼 fur colors but rather like puzzles needed to be solved..This is also the characteristics of human behaviors..No one is EXACTLY ALIKE with one another even twins..However, whatever we do that MUST BE BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF MORALES OF FAIRNESS, ETHICAL CONDUCTS OF JUSTICES ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO ALL WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT DO TO OTHERS THAT WE DON'T WANT FOR OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES AS OF THE NEXT GENERATIONS TO INHERITED OUR TRASHES..PERIOD..
True, there are a lot more nuances than we can see on the surface
@@jerrystakeonchina799 If on the surface that we can see the nuances, I can't imagine how rotten and stinky it must be in deeper layers as of Osama Bin Laden date of death was falsified BLANTANTLY..Good things that I was old enough to remember the events what about those younger generations of Americans truly brainwashed and becoming dumbfounded by their previous generation's Stupidities..Period..
Thanks for the conversation, yes it would be nice to have you, Warick and Einar together!
I would like to weigh in on the issue of the Chinese media. It may be true there is no equivalent of a "Grayzone" in the Chinese media, but does the Grayzone's admirable work affect US foreign policy? There has been many criticisms of US foreign policy and how the US military kills civilians, supports genocide in Gaza, instigate political instability even overthrowing foreign governments, imposes illegal economic sanctions that harm the lives of ordinary Venezuelans, Iranians, Cubans, etc. We know the US has a track record of lying, but the mainstream media still gives the US state department credence it does not deserve. All this independent dissenting voices in the West seems to make no difference!
Whereas while the Chinese government does censor the Chinese social media, my sense is that the goal is to moderate public discussion, not to eliminate public criticism. We might argue whether this claim is true, but the fact is that there is plenty of public criticism in the Chinese social media, and I suspect the Chinese government genuinely values the social media's role as a gauge for how much public dissatisfaction exists, and (where criticism is legitimate) takes action to address the root causes of public dissatisfaction.
It's true there is little criticism of government policy in the state media. But the state media does play a useful role of "reporting facts" and drawing public attention to important matters (like the Third Plenum). I suggest seeing the state media and Chinese social media as complementary. The state media provides the background in which public discussion on the social media takes place.
The Chinese people trust their state media to report facts accurately, but are also aware that the state media does not report "the whole truth". Whereas people in the West (or at least most of them) seem blissfully unaware that their governments actively censor the social media (either outright or "soft censor"), while the mainstream media has become a channel for propaganda, becoming a "tool for power" (vs "speaking truth to power"). The Western mainstream media gives an appearance of speaking truth to power, but the real power (which the mainstream media is subservient to) is their capitalist overlords who own the media - e.g., Murdoch, the super-wealthy, ....
Having said that, I think there could be more transparency in Chinese censorship. Censors (including social media platforms like Weibo, WeChat, etc) should give reasons for their decision to censor content (especially when reasons are requested). Individuals affected should have a legal right to ask for reasons, and also a right to appeal to a Media Tribunal to review censorship decisions. The Tribunal should give reasons if they uphold or over-rule a censorship decision. The Tribunal should also issue guidelines to content creators, so people have a better idea what kind of content will be protected from censorship, what will be censored, and what content lies in the grayzone. (Who wants to invest to create valuable content which ends up being censored!)
The goal of the Media Tribunal should be to encourage reasoned public discussion, and discourage prejudicial content. In fact, I think this should be the goal all over the world. Yes, we want to defend people's right to express opinions that we disagree with, but people who want to express dissenting opinions should be able to defend their views and not appeal to prejudice. Dissent should be "reasoned dissent", not "prejudicial dissent". (In reality, all content will unavoidably have some amount of "prejudice"; we should aim for a high "reason-to-prejudice" ratio.)
"Free speech" is not the same as "prejudical speech". The goal of "free speech" is to facilitate reasoned public discussion, not promote prejudice.
There's nothing at all in here that I can find to disagree with - it makes perfect sense - thank you for adding it
I do agree with Mr. Tangen on making omelets we must break few eggs..However, if one doesn't have much good fertiled eggs around.. One might think TWICE of NO 🐣CHIC🐣 if all eggs were in the omelets ..😆🤭
I agreed with Mr Tangen that China is definitely a SAFE country to visit without the constant fear of having things stolen as in Thailand 🇹🇭 or in the USA..Although I was in China 🇨🇳 a few days, I could see how orderly and organized China 🇨🇳 government's systems must have been..If the same scenarios of having my passport stolen in China 🇨🇳 hotel as it did in Thailand, my bet of 💯 percent I wouldn't have any problems of having the local police enforcerments to cooperate and investigate to the ends to put the thief in jail or whoever was in my hotel rooms UNLIKE Thailand where it is a criminal haven that thieves are in collaboration with government's leadership officials and local law enforcement officials..Therefore, they had refused to investigate into my case's and the police reports were INCORRECTLY TRANSLATED; however, the USA embassy in Thailand wouldn't have any problems to accept the nonsense police reports L😂😅L..Period..
The fall in line after the concensus reminds me of the three gorges dam.
The construction of the dam was heated debated. And it won I thing by 60% or so.
But once the constructuon was set in stoen. Everyone worked to get it done and get it done correctly.
There is no political sabotage of "see, it was a bad idea.".
CIVILIZED GENTLEMEN...gorgeous!
Thank you Jan
Thanks!
Wow, thank you again
Jerry, I got a feeling your previous life was Chinese, 🤣🤣 you just returning home.😄😄
Sometimes my wife tells me this too - I think there may be something in it... :-))
China development moveing from a agriculture rural country to a country with industrial urbanisation.
That was the best period in China's history but in the future is more uncertain.
China is a old empire and US a young empire.
Excellent 👍
Thank you Dan and Jo, Cheers!
When asked about western civilization Ghandi said it best when he said its a good idea!!
A great retort, thank you
What a great one to take to the bank: everybody knows 😂😂😂👍👍👍
Rising house prices yearly in not beneficial for the population but beneficial for the banks to lend more money. I was a real estate agent in Toronto when the housing bubble 🫧 burst about 1987 and again in 2008
China should avoid creating high house prices. No Speculation in real estate for huge profit. China should look at US and do the opposite. 😅 😂
I agree Mike and I'm the owner of two apartments that have lost value, but neither of them have lost more than I paid for them - Chin'as correction is, in my opinion, a good one
1:12:48 You're right Mr. Tangen. There's a lot of people down here that believes earth is flat ...
They also think Darwinism is evil.
Have people forgot that the army was sent in only weeks after protesters had been beating up, lighting on fire and hanging, as well as burning security vehicles long before the army was sent into quell Tiananmen square?
Otherwise good job both
I don't think anyone in the West actually bothers or wants to know the true story Stepmaster, I think the critics just want to believe that anything China does is evil and will accept anything they hear, see or read. The real point is, even if it was the disaster they think it was, which we both know it wasn't, it was still the only disaster in the last 50 years - the countries where the critics live still have similar situations on a regular basis because they've learnt nothing from them
Westerners, especially Americans, were indoctrinated at a very young age to develop a hatred towards communism & communists & their grownups always associate something bad that their governments are doing that they don’t like as authoritarian or communist. Brainwashing is a powerful & dangerous tool that generations of westerners couldn’t even have the ability to ask WHY we hate communism?
A compelling interview, excellent guest Mr. Einar Tangen!
Hope that someday you'll invite Mr. Jan Oberg (Jan Öberg) co-founder of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research that I admire so much. He is born in Denmark but lives in Sweden.
I recently made contact with Mr Oberg on Substack, he cited me and restacked one of my articles, so there is a possibility - we're not properly connected yet, but I do hope I can get him onboard in the future, he seems very interesting

How one cannot see: USA is playing Checker, when Russia playing Chess, at same moment China PRC play GO.
Nice show!
1:00:00 The enemy of my enemy is my friend... USA should have listen to former US President Nixon wise call.
Fantastic conversation. Very informative. Thank so much for all that you do. How might I contribute to your efforts to raise money for those in need?
Hi Kelly, thank you but as far as China is concerned, there really isn't much need for individuals to do so - there is a system in place called "Third Distribution" and that helps rich individuals and corporations to dispuse funds into much needed places and communities.
My wife and I specifically raised funds for disabled people in Zhongshan and as a result we were able to help a few people with thngs like dance clubs, art clubs, some mobility assistance that they didn't already have but the truth is, the government does most of this anyway, they appreciate the help when we can add to it and it means they can channel much needed funds to other places.
@@jerrystakeonchina799 Hi Jerry, Thank you for the information. I feel that I have been blessed in my life and would like to give back to people in need. I will be retiring and moving to China in April 2025. My wife has been living in Shenzhen for several years. She and I are building a home in the Hubei Province now (small town outside of Anlu), where she is originally from. I would like to find ways to help those in need. I will need to look into the “third distribution when I move to China. I am also an avid cyclist, so I take great interest in your cycling travels. Thanks again for your response. Your UA-cam videos are factual and so informative. I really appreciate your efforts. Kelly
Jerry and Einar Should be the US president so the world would get some peace😆
haha, thanks and we can remember how to exit the stage too :-)
55:00 Ever notice, Chinese first meet, families, business, meeting, etc... It is always done around a "round table", Know why
Yes, another great point - many business lieaders too I've noticed, but certainly not all. China is defintiely a lot less adversarial
Richesse oblige...
Whether an act of lying by omission is appropriate or not depends on its intention. If it is done so as prevent unnecessary arousal of unproportionally excessive public emotional/subjective controversies &/or collateral destructive problems for the community or country, this act is simply one of a beautiful lie of political correctness. In such circumstance, the government would prefer to be accused of lying (by omission) rather than to let the matter get unproportionally troublesome or damaging.
True, I'd very much prefer to have no news about something than false news about it too. In most cases, where China does omit, it's usually in order to maintain harmony and/or to prevent copycats
Perhaps that's something the Chinese learnt from the west, in particular from the USA regime. Remember how it always deny that attacks by their citizens on Asians are not racist but are by someone who were mentally unstable?
Jerry, can you tell us about biking across China.
I most certainly can but it's a long story, I've not made many videos about biking but I plan to start, when I did most of my riding, I wasn't on UA-cam, when I get back from my current travels, i'll make a few biking videos - but it will not start until September, as my late July and August are full
Jerry and Einar🫡
Jerry, I'm really confused by what you and Einar were referring to about Tiananmen Square . . . Are you saying China omitted facts about the PLA massacre of students in the square? I understand there was no massacre of students in the square, but rather that was a myth developed by Western media and Western establishment. Here are my notes and the source (although there are many other sources).
Revolution and counterrevolution: Remembering Tiananmen 34 years later
Amanda Yee,
June 3, 2023
But there was no such massacre in Tiananmen Square. By that time, most of the protesters had left the square, and the ones who remained left peacefully after negotiating with the army.
A leaked diplomatic U.S. cable sent around that time confirms there was no such bloodshed in the square. “They [student protesters] were able to enter and leave the square several times and were not harassed by troops,” the cable reads. “Remaining with students by the Monument to the People’s Heroes until the final withdrawal, the diplomat said there were no mass shootings of students in the square or at the monument.” [Incidentally, Julian Assange’s Wikileaks reveals these cables too.]
Other eyewitness accounts from on-the-ground journalists corroborate this. Richard Roth, Jay Matthews and Nicholas Kristoff report: -“nothing to even suggest, let alone prove, that a ‘massacre’ had recently occurred in that place;”
-“no one died that night in Tiananmen Square. A few people may have been killed by random shooting on streets near the square, but all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully;” and
-“troops did not attack students clustered around the monument.”
www.liberationnews.org/revolution-and-counter-revolution-remembering-tiananmen-34-years-later/
Please let me know if I misunderstood what you were referring to concerning China omitting facts. I like your work and value your videos about China.
No, a misunderstanding Adam, China omits any mention of the incident at all - it's lieterally expunged from Chinese media - We are of the same mind, China not "massacre" anyone, there were deaths, it was a tragedy, mistakes were made but the bottom line is that they were learnt from
@@jerrystakeonchina799 , got it! Thanks for clearing that up.
Pardon me for asking a very of topic question. The name Einar Tangen, what is the origin? It's a quite common name here in Norway 🇳🇴.
My understanding is that it's from Norewegian folklore, Einar is, I understand but might be wrong, part orwegian, part Korean and 100% American

China PRC does not just throw money into the issue, they are offer "retooling" if they want it...
You Can Lead a Horse To Water, But You Can’t Make It Drink
Something just clicked while I am losing this great conversation that goveb by consensus is better than voting is in voicing even the winner are nor actually lost as it creates frictions that will become huge gaps later on
I agree, what China has is an awesome system and it works VERY well for the huge majority of people - of course, you can't please all the people all the time but China certainly does a great job of trying
Hi Jerry,
I just heard that another Chinese company BYD in India is hit by another massive arbitrarily concocted fine for wrong doing!
Why are all Chinese companies so naive to keep investing in a fiercely anti-China India when all their incones and assets are constantly illegally seized for arbitrary concocted reasons of wrong doings?
Same reason as many wnat to invest in China Colin, the rewards outweigh the risks
Jerry, there are some videos in the net about many abandonned new eV in China, that they are being "throw away". It's hard to believe though I can imagine certain cars so bad you couldn't give it away. Can youn tell us the truth behind these stories ?
I believe they have already been debunked - it's a fact that some cars are abandoned but in the scope of things there are not many, the shells of cars, not the entire car have been scrapped and will probably,, given time be recycled - every country that makes cars has this issue - it might be an overcapcity but over capacity usually arises when the cars being made aren't sold - China can't make enough cars to keep up with demand, those that are in parking lots waiting to be scrapped are defunct models, not new cars - there isn't a car company in the world that doesn't ecperience this from time to time - better to follow some of the car vloggers about this because I know several people have already debunked this one
Hi Jerry,
This tariff policy of the US and EU on products that originate from China only would indicate to me that it is not about econmics but about race discrimination? Would you say differently?
,
No, I'd say you're right but it's a little deeper than just race, it's also a feeling of deep insecurity - the facrt that an Asian nation is rising is not new, Japan did so a couple of decades ago, the same phenomenon appeared then, it's race, plus insecurity, plus a modicum of fear because the US now knows it can't do to China what it did to Japan and they are very definitely in denial about their own demise
It was a fantastic session guys! Hope it can be a more frequent event! Bravo!👍✌️👏
THanks, I hope so too!
Can't remember who said this: "You don't need bombs to destroy a country, just destroy its education system."
That's what America's tycoons and their foundations did to the U.S. The Fords, Rockefellers, and Carnegies did so beginning back in the 1920s. A covert coup took place and continues to this day.
Look to me that one country is doing exactly that to istlef - might be a "countrycide" attempt
The problem wih US banning chips from the China is if China doesnt buy them, who else can buy them and make something with them instead??
That's exactly what companies like Nvidia are finding - their sales are right down and they've tried doing all kinds of things to get them back up, it isn't going to happen because China has found it needed to go elsewhere or get products domestically when it couldn't
Kevin Rudd was more or less objective and neutral vis-a-vis China initially. However, he was bought when he started to head the Asia Society and you can see that he had gone over to the dark side.
Two China experts engaging in honest dialogue about China's economic development policies and how the US led Anglo sphere is obsessed with distorting information about China.
The best of Einar Tangent's statements is that the US greatest worry is that China will do what they are doing. If the US is doing something great n noble, why should they be so worried about others doing the same. Shouldn't they feel very proud of this
Great point - presumably because they know it isn't noble!
Third Plenary Session has ended. So what has come out of it that is 'new' or is it just more of the same. If the same is successful then no need to change then? I don't think it is rubber stamp as historically changes or variations in policy have been signalled. My understanding is nothing has changed but regarding the workings of the CCP I am definitely no expert so asking the question.
Plenty came out of it Andy - read Chinese media, it's going to be full for the next couple of days
@@jerrystakeonchina799 Thanks but looking here for analysis. Unless the analysis is exactly what the readouts will be.
We have rubber stamps in America it’s called democracy 😂😂😂😂 nothing gets done 😂😂😂😂
Sadly, that seems to be true, unless it's related to keeping an adversay down, as it was with the USSR, then Japan and now China - who is next for US regulations and laws to be written about!!!
I don't think I've ever seen Einar as relaxed & chatty as herein. Adding to the less than rigorous & combative style in Chinese journalism, could it be that they carry out this exercise of questioning & (self)examination at the development stage of policy, rather than form knee-jerk ones & squabble at leisure afterwards?
An aside, I'm aware that you draw a UK police pension. I think you should also be entitled to the UK national state pension & it might pay you to enquire (you'll need your national insurance number). You don't need to respond to this as I respect your privacy on this personal matter.
I do receive a police pension, as I only served 10 years it isn't much but it's a nice little top up to the income I can earn here - I'm quite certain I could apply for and get a part pension but the fact I only worked there 12 years would probably make the effort hardly worth its while
Hey jerry Dr. O of geo trends tried to reach you
Hope to see you in his show or on yours
Love your take on China n your views+opinions on conflicts around the world
Jerry, very decent man with a very decent balanced view
Thank you for letting me know: He reached me a few days ago, unfortunately, his email went through to spam so I didn't see it for several days - but we're in touch now and I'll be on his show in just a few days. I think we are set for 8am Beijing Time on Tuesday, which is 7pm his time on Monday evening. Once it's established, I'll post the details on X - but I'm not sure what platform he uses and whether I'll be able to post it to here or not - I'll know in a day or so
I love this Chinese representative this brother is astute and he knows his subject matter❤❤❤❤❤
I assume you mean Einar, I agree, thank you
What about the concept of a UNIVERSAL WAGE? Will China go there ??
I already answered thisa and it's been deleted, I think not - with 1.4 billion people, it's a little difficult
I don't think so, China is not a pure Marxist country but is very definitely a Socialist one, however, it recognises (I think) that purte Marxism, would work and neither would Universal Basic Income. That's been done on experimental trails in many places and been found to work but with 1.4 bill people, I suspect the logistics would be just too much to handle
Thanks!
Many thanks Kinlian
