Are China and the US doomed to conflict? | Kevin Rudd
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2015
- The former prime minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd is also a longtime student of China, with a unique vantage point to watch its power rise in the past few decades. He asks whether the growing ambition of China will inevitably lead to conflict with other major powers - and suggests another narrative.

As an Australian who has lived in China for 15 years, I have to say the Chinese people are generally lovely as are a lot of Americans I've met here in Asia and in the United States. Living here I see there are not huge differences between the West and the East, the problem is not the people or the cultures, it's the power and money hungry politicians that have problems with each other and can lead us to war.
gusaholic brother it's not that an economy dominates alongside it it's culture ,values and it's philosophy also spreads over world! e.g. you may see world following U.S. trends , lifestyle, language and way of thinking (words like liberal, secular) so problem is that when china will start dominating it will do the same but problem is that it's not good in terms of freedom of speech , Human rights , open market etc. concepts
When she(china) is leader fear is that these wrong concepts will affect other countries also
And that’s why Trump needs to be removed.
These are the wrong views of the Western world on China. China is a free country.
I am Chinese, I love you.
Then why isn’t the power-hungry and corrupt politicians of Australia trying to conquer New Zealand? Or why aren’t the power hungry and corrupt politicians of Iceland planning on invading England anytime time soon?
Governments reflect the will of the people, governments don’t start wars, people do. Too many people believe Govts are some seperate entity that is always trying to cause harm (conspiracy theorist, they’re bloody everywhere).
WW1: the Habsburg Nobility forbade the Austrian Govt from declaring war, but the people elected power hungry war mongers because they wanted war, so the Govt declared war. Austrians were ecstatic at the outbreak of war on Serbia, there were parades through the streets. There is an interesting series of letters between the heads of state during WW1 as the emperors realised they couldn’t stop their countries from going to war. I’ve met plenty of lovely Americans and Chinese, naturally, but they are also way more likely to support military action to protect their way of life (especially Americans, they crazy) as opposed to NZers, or Aussies, we‘re pretty chill, we don’t believe we would ever need military action to defend ourselves, so we don’t elect politicians that bring us into conflict with other nations.
Politicians definitely reflect the characters a nation
china is not a free country, for the rich maybe , you have a dictator , Most of all its Politicians protecting themselves , the regular people get along fine , ordinary people can appreciate ordinary struggles in life , they share an care ,
He is so humble. 'Hi. I'm Kevin and I'm from Australia' not going on about how he was PM twice.
He wat?
@@quangduongang6230 he's prime minister of australia.....
@S Wright "one of the worst" said without evidence. lol yea ok sure thing bud
People are so idiotically manipulated by media..they turned the dirty mining union factions on him..backed by Rheinhart and co..because he dared propose taxing them..Australians lost trillions that could have funded all new services and we’d be a different nation today..and..then ‘’did backroom deals’ ..Trades Hall today is even more corrupt than big business.That’s not what our own beautiful’8 hour days groundbreaking trade unionism was founded on..or Gough’s vision.. and ‘true believers’ were cheated by those nasty little ganging, passive aggressive charlatans with all their patriarchal factions, sexual secrets and nepotism among them.. and corrupted values? Eg. Shorten, the ‘great Catholic’ with the secret mistress. Come out about yourselves if you’re going to stand up and laid it over others. Yuck. Double standards everywhere. History will unpack it all correctly.
His biggest mistake, like Gough..was trusting the wrong, dishonourable backstabbers, who played him and the public politically .
A politician who actually does his own research? Can we vote him back in?
can I vote him at US 2020 election?
Merkel, Thatcher had been researchers first.
People did vote for them.
Julia Gillard was better
Kevin27?
Apparently Not.
We need more people like Kevin Rudd. Work through our differences instead of making war.
Remember when we had a Prime Minister who was literate?

This video is 7 years old yet still so relevant and accurate. The events are unfolding as we speak.
I met Kevin Rudd walking along a beach in Australia in 2010. I didnt know who he was until a few seconds before he said hello to me so no nerves had set in or anything, so we were just chatting away and he was very interested about my studies 😂 really nice guy. It took a few mins to realise what I got myself in the middle of as I noticed his security detail spaced out a hundred or so yards around him on the beach and then when we walked past a bar and everyone there instantly noticed him and started cheering manically 😂😂😂
Very very good
Oh my God. This is so disturbing in so many ways.
@@rr965 former PM walking on beach and talking to fellow Australians? How terrible!
kevin rudd got couped by american imperialism
@@rr965 people having normal conversations with a former pm without realising? Disturbing indeed
why did no one tell me he has a Ted talk
Because its irrelevant what he has to say and he is an awful public speaker. He is also pretentious and up himself.
@@MrRadialdrift awww compared to any of the Liberals currently in government? what a fucking joke of a comment

in Chinese： US=美国=beautiful country， Germany=德国=merit country，UK=英国=hero country, france=法国=lawful country
the translations are from sound, but the words chosen have good meanings
@Cheong Lun Shen Then why don't the change Mei Guo, to Zhou Guo or whatever else name China CPP see fit?
@@aaronchen5544 old translations were far more appraisal. the USA 美利坚, beautiful solid and strong, the UK 英吉利, heroic brilliant fortunate and wealthy, German, 德意志, merit, mighty and full of strength and great objectives, Italy 意大利, spiritual, great and fortunate, France, 法兰西, lawful, 兰is often refer to a plant generally believed to be of good merit, decent status and good personality, 西 means simply the west.
Then there's China, which came from Chang Nan 昌南, which is a town that makes pots...
Great to hear, what's the Chinese word for Australia and New Zealand?
@@RandomSpongiform Both of them are translated from sound, Australia - 澳大利亚, Chinese characters can be ‘Wide land with surrounded by great seacoast’; New Zealand - 新西兰, 新=New， 西 = the West，兰 = good virtue as 'Mulan' '木兰'
I‘m Chinese living in Canada and I don't care about politics, but I think Kevin Rudd is an inspiring and visionary individual that we don't usually see in these days.
are you also a commy like him? i've met plenty chinese who hate the communist regime & distrust krudd. being half hungarian, i share their disdain.
@@jpbart1390 Lol you have to be one ignorant dumbass to associate Chinese people to 'being a commie' This is like saying 'Oh are all Americans like Donald Trump and act like some of the extremist right wing Republicans?'
@@doloresumbridge2531 you didn't answer his question, so are you?
@@jpbart1390 Kevin, like most regular people, support the people of China and want their suffering to end. He is against the regime but the liberals in Australia who are supposedly right wing seem to be appeasing China at the moment
@@TheSucram729 if krudd was against the regime, then why did he brown nose hu jintao? plus he 'borrowed' much more money than australia could pay back. sounds like he sold australia to the chinese communist party to me.
If more leaders were like this man the world would be a beautiful place.
they once were, reality changes, there is always a playbook in place once you become President etc, and it's rarely deviated from, regardless of what that leader wants. You ever wonder why these same leaders have different opinion after leaving office? as compared to the ones they had while in office
The people just vote out leaders like him...

at large and planet earth, we all know from recent political events (Turnbull) what would happen to his career.
May the gods save us from the likes of Dutton, Joyce or even worse, Hansonites!
Wasn't he kicked out of his seat by his own parliament
Random Aussie Emu Gillard’s rise was part a *coup for the labor party to regain popularity after the greens/labor hung parliament which caused a huge rift in traditionally labour seats (they lost public trust because of certain “greenie” policies) and after Turnbull and Abbott both got into what they do best which is smear campaign. Rudd recently spoke about Turnbull taking him to the parliamentary fraud and integrity commission with falsified emails and stories to drag Rudd’s name.
Not saying he’s the answer to our problems or anything, I’m just getting at that unfortunately, nothing in the political sphere is as black and white as getting voted out of leadership. The Canberra popularity contest is about as politically cut-throat as taxation law.

I'm a business owner and an English teacher. I've lived in China and even owned a business there. I'll say, I came into this video being very critical. Many times people speak about China but have no real idea of it. Kevin though, understands both countries very well. He has made a great presentation and is very accurate in his statements.
PrimePerception oh look at me I'm a business owner and have lived places and I can say in my expert opinion that this Kevin bloke seems to know what he is talking about.
Emil Chandran ITS JUST AN OPINION!!!!!!!!
Weilord Bubblebath He knows the facts and the secret real situation of the country. He thought the only way to survive is to negotiate with the country who got the cash . Its useless to pretend that you are invincible. Definitely US empire is going down.
Emil Chandran Oh look at me, a sarcastic snarky statement contributes so much to the discussion
not 100% agree! Kevin doesn't know the shady part of Chinese culture, but I know. I am from Taiwan. We better understand Chinese culture than Australian Kevin.
Could never imagine Scott Morrison presenting in the same way. Unless it was a ted talk on how to be an ignominious

Ronald, bit hard to comprehend i know, I'm sure there's some cartoons for you to go to next.
1971 - we went off the gold standard - China is given a seat in the U.N. - all agreed to in accordance with the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement - the U.S would end its role as the world leader in all things, except as the world leading military power (who would be so stupid to believe that a country without nothing to protect [that being manufacturing would be allowed to maintain the top position as the military authority (with nukes - a nation which is broke - be allowed to go nuts and take out China - not going to happen) China is the worlds top manufacturing economy - they as we will go to the wall to protection position - after all WE ALL ADREED - RIGHT - folks we are all at the end game - either we keep to the 1944 agreement or war - the globalist are not going to be stopped - they have been moving off shore since 1944 - there is nothing you slobs can do about it - shut up and enjoy the ride.
Huawei should be banned
Never again invasions in any way by arrogant people.
Kevin has good understanding with chinese culture.he likes a bridge between China and western world.
YES Kevin Rudd was The BEST Priminister of AUSTRALIA LOVE YOU KEVIN
True. I think of fmr UN council president Kishore Mahbubani in the same way.
see what Scott Morrison has done
more like a bridge for china to cross & take australia over!

Yep, good Talk. 2022 will be a rollercoaster for sure. Stocks valuations are at an all time high while at the same time we have the threat of inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain and productivity issues to deal with.

It is quite humbling to know that Kevin is accepting of his responsibility and power to be a binding agent as an Australian who grew up witnessing the US rise and being surrounded by the Chinese rise as well. He fully is aware that no matter the threat of nuclear war, he understands that at the end of the day these two countries are going to be the ones standing up first and standing up last. Despite Australia being the most versatile, he knows that Australia won't last if these two collide. It's a shame Australia didn't have the same vision yet when he was elected, but of all the prime ministers in the last 2 decades, I'm glad it was him that apologised. He was was empathetic and visionary. His apology on behalf of Australia wasn't a political act, it was an understanding of another culture that suffered in the hands of greed and fear.
Kevin's speech was/and is insightful. High praise!

Kevin Rudd was extremely underrated. An educated man pushing forward the boundaries of international relations. If only he was still in power in Australia.
Rubbish he was so incompetent he was boot out twice in Australia. By his own party and then Australian people.
Kevin's "into the heart" speech is really touching. As a Mainland Chinese guy working in US, I sincerely hope there 's no war between these two great countries. there are unreasonable voice from both of the countries, everytime when I saw their comments that claim the other country is so evil that should be wipe out from the earth, I am sad. Kevin is a thoughtful and reasonable person.

ALMOST ANYBODY, could do a better job than Abbott. Unfortunately, none of these people are currently in the Liberal Party.
JustAUsername13 *cough* Turnbull *cough**cough*
Bob Turnbull might have been a good PM in the past but sometime after he stopped leading the Liberals, he became a yesman to the Institute of Public Affairs just like Abbott. I'd prefer Abbott as PM, at least he stupidity makes his corruption more apparent.
Anyone's better than Abbott.
Bob You mean the guy who derailed the NBN by 3 years at the cost of 10s of billions and hired all his ex Telstra mates to fill senior positions, not even requiring them to sell their Telstra shares before going into negotiations over the CAN? All because FTTP was Labor's idea?
Turnbull is the gift that keeps on giving for Telstra and Rupert Murdoch. I don't think hes any less corrupt than Abbott or anyone in the cabinet.
Rudd, I wish you can one day comeback to leadership of this troubled country, Australia!
Same! We really discarded an absolute gem of a PM
Morrison is super dumb for sure. Now he has successful made enemies with China, France, possible the EU, just wanted to please the US with no bottom lines.
A great TEDTalk. More relevant than ever now we’re in 2022. It is great to have someone explain this issue from both sides.
I still get very emotional talking about The Apology. There are still a long way to go but that was a great first step into the right direction. 🖤💛❤️
This is the best presentation about China that I have ever heard. Kevin Rudd, what you did in Australia for the first Australians was as credible as you are. Thank you.
yeah, so aborigines land rights would be replaced with hang rights had he got his way & china took over!
same to me.
I have listened to several speakers dealing with this problem (or threat), but none of them has given me as much hope as Kevin's presentation. Thank you very much, Mr.Rudd, your heart is in the right place!
You are listening to a man who works for & is paid by China. A man who was such a bad prime minister, his own party fired him. He's a bitter, twisted, conceited little cretin. Aussies can't stand him.
Al Senior Meanwhile the Chinese People’s Liberation Army- Navy (PLA-N) is building 5 new aircraft supercarriers and large scale amphibious assault ships in the classes presently only available to the global power projection capability of the United States Marine Corps, while the PLA-Air Force is intent on acquiring up to 1,000 Y-20 strategic airlift aircraft capable of air dropping over 40,000 paratroopers up to 5,000km from mainland China within 24 hours. Let your heart not be at rest but readied for war. The similarities between the present day Peoples Republic and post Treaty of Versailles Germany are striking. They even have a religious minority to scapegoat and have imprisoned over 1 million in forced re-education camps, but this time they aren’t Jews, they’re Muslims. Meanwhile China intimidates all its near neighbours, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. The Chinese state is the apparatus of a mild mannered psychopathy. When the United States dissolves in the next three decades and China is no longer inhibited by the presence of US military power, you will see Chinas true colours laid bare. Remember China invaded Vietnam in 1979 and fought a 2 year war against Vietnam. Remember Tiananmen Square.

How refreshing to hear these sentiments. A man for our times.
Everytime a video talks about china, there's always a fight in the comment section. Both sides are claiming the other side is brainwashed and someone is always claiming that it's propaganda. Can't poeple form their own opinions?
The problem is that people try to wipe out facts for their opinion and a blocked from forming a neutral opinion due to biased information.
@@dekaaizer2550 That's the problem, "biased information", when it should be about factual information. Too many media including youtube channels that have their biased information to push a narrative. It's very dangerous and shows why war is always on the horizon.
I guess people on both sides who hate the other team the most are those who are brainwashed because they will believe and defend what is told to them or suggested by their family/school/mainstream media unconditionally and find evidences only if it supports their point.Most people sadly never imagine to think differently than the majority,most people of china are atheists,most Americans are Christians,and funny both sides think the other side people are poor either want to save them(us missionaries,and chinese want to 'unite' with proletariat of the states) or hate them.I really think people should stop accusing others as brainwashed just bc they have a different opinion,from a Chinese christian who became Christian by help of us missionary friends

I watched this video the first time in class when i was studying abroad in Hong Kong in 2018, so happy to find this gem and nice gentleman on ted talk.
Now coming back again April 2020, so much have happened during the past 3 years: huawei ban, trade war, hong kong riot, coronavirus and more. It seems inevitably the relationship continues to go down the route of point of no return.
The prophecy of the greek story of the pellopenacian war would always repeat, because no matter how much human progress in technology and science, the hostle nature of humanity has never changed a single bit. This is why human race has never actually achieved a moment of peace in the world.
Never trust politician.
Who should the weapon be sold to if the world is peace
Greed and hate will be the ultimate fallout and inevitable demise of humanity itself
This is why Thycidides wrote the History on the Pelloponesian War. He knew that human nature doesn't change and so he left the book as a gift to humanity.
Greetings from Greece, under lockdown since March.
So true
Watching this speech raised my hope, and then watching the comment section made me lose it.
But there are only 9k comments out of 2.5m views?
Watching this in 2022. And it does not look good.
12:37 For those of you wondering what he means. He is actually quoting the common Chinese saying "一个巴掌拍不响"，which means "there cannot be a clap with only one hand". This is meant to express the idea that a conflict cannot happen when only one group is present. I thought that was pretty clever of him.
Joseph he was a traitor to the Australian people. Quietly removed from office. Thank god he is gone.
@@samt.8533 Hmmm. Well that's really something.
I thought it meant you can’t get the clap if you masturbate.
The equivalent of this Chinese phrase is “It takes two to tango”.
It's pretty adorable and sweet to me that they call us the beautiful country. They used to call us "Gold Mountain" whenever they first started coming during the gold rush. Our history of how we treated China is shameful, I hope that we can work together in the future.
We call USA as 美利坚合众国，or 美国 for short. The full name means that a country which is beautiful, powerful and strong.
旧金山 (the "Old Gold Mountain") is Chinese for San Francisco (I suppose it came from the gold rush). 美国 is Chinese for the U.S.. I wish there were more people in the U.S. who understand the history and culture of China and there were more people in China who understand the history and culture of the U.S.
Unfortunately, there are far more people in both countries who don't understand the other side. Furthermore, they don't make the effort to get to know the other side. The hot-heads from both countries tend to dominate the social media and the media of two countries aren't exactly helping.
America translated into Chinese as A mei li ka, shorted as Mei Guo, it has nothing to do with "being beautiful" or" being otherwise"
Every single character for that translation was carefully selected, you don't use random character with similar pronunciation. And as someone mentioned above, USA is translated as 美利坚合众国 The full name means that a country which is beautiful, powerful and strong. It does not come with coincidence . There used to be like a hundred translations for the US before 1900s, but after a lot of students were sent to the US and with a desire to overthrow the Qing dynasty growing stronger and stronger, a lot of books were published then introducing The American Revolutionary War saying that the Chinese need to learn from the us who defeated their master . Slogans like “要学那，美利坚，离英独立(learn from America who gained independence from UK)” were everywhere that's when the translation of the US was settled down. BTW in Chinese Portugal is translated as 葡萄牙（pu tao ya） which literally means grape tooth
there are many phonyms in Chinese, the sound "mei" can mean different kinds of words, but Chinese only pick "mei" which means "beautiful" to express America
We need an update, Kevin.
Whoa ..... Kevin can see the future!!! this was 7 years ago!!!!
Funny how this was recommended to me considering what is happening right now...
It's interesting listening to this now in June 2019... with the headlines being about Trade Wars and conflict.. :/
sure is
His rhetoric sounds nice, but he doesn't offer any plan as to how to bridge the irreconcilable differences. I am not sure blaming the white man will be an effective defense to Chinese autocracy.
same here
Dave Kite Almost every country got so-called conservatist in charge, what can we expect? (i’m not against conservatism but sometimes humans are just too damn arrogant)
much more struck me is~MERKEL speaking out about US & China in Harvard graduation, echoed same time to me, I usually don't pay attention to much to English-spoken media. what i just have experienced, devastately reflected the big gap need to work on the global civilization .
This bloke waltz unannounced into my grade 9 class once with a bunch of press during his reign as PM. He spoke of his time studying at my high school and one phrase I remember him saying was that “the sky’s the limit” my school was an ordinary public school. To this day I remember that interaction well. I am now a Cattlemen looking after the best Steers and Heifers in Australia and I feel like I owe this gentleman a thank you. If you’re reading this I hope you’re successful in life. G’day.
Great speech. Australia needs more people like Kevin Rudd.
Rubbish he was so incompetent he was boot out twice in Australia. By his own party and then Australian people.
Inevitable. Like a marriage.
The key is in constant communications with a goal of covering as much common ground as practically possible.
Kevin is cool , He got backstabbed That was dirty
By his so called best friend's Wayne Swan, Bill Shorten and Julia Gillard.
Kevin, thank you for your talk. I appreciate this very much.
Predicted 6 years ago.👏👏
up until the mid 19th century, China is still the largest economy on earth, in fact, in the year 1820, 1/3 of the entire world's wealth was in China.
Nope. India was the largest economy. China was the second largest economy
Not quite, the whole Indian Region had at times a greater estimated GDP than China, but China was a single Empire, India was mish-mash of kingdoms for most of its history. Yet in the 19th century China was waaay more developed than India.
thesuperproify
Yes, there was a reason why most of the European explorations were initially to find a Sea Route to China and India, in order to break the monopoly of Eurasian Overland trade that the Arabs had. The Arabs most likely sold East Asian goods to Europeans for marked up prices.
But it was all unusable, that's like saying Africa has most of the worlds wealth, when they themselves don't have control over it or the ability to use it.
I can tell through Kevin-s words about how china feels, he knows about China.
是的，我們中國人將來一定要洗刷百年恥辱，一定要讓自以為是的白人低下頭來，為全球各地被白人殘害的原住民們討回公道。一句道歉是遠遠不夠的，先輩所遭受的屈辱，以牙還牙，以血還血。
He is well versed.
Get rid of the Murdoch Monopoly in Australia
great approach!
This man should be treasured.
Clearly you are not Australian. Know that he is a diplomat as well as former Australian Prime Minister. He is fantastically skilled at spin and convincing people that he isn't an arrogant power tripping wanker. His political party cast him aside for being exactly that.
I'm not asserting that what he is saying here is untrue, just that there is a very deliberate mind behind all of that charisma. I don't recall who said it, but to truly test a man's character give him power. His was tested.
BS. He's just another politician. They are ALL scammers and con men.
@@mattrickard3716 Still a better prime minister than ANY of those who actually ended up taking his place after his tenure ended
@@mattrickard3716 only reason he was cast aside was because of Rio Tinto and wanting to introduce a mining tax. A man who gets in the way of the interests of the big banks and ruling class elite will inevitably be eliminated, it's just history repeating itself. Nevertheless ppl are just going to get caught up in all the fabricated scandalous bs which is exactly what they planned and wanted and it worked.
@@MrGW2fanboy This, Kruddies wanted to actually raise revenue that is rightly owed to us. Like he said to Jordies, you can only put so many of the kingmakers offside before they decide your time is done as PM. Once he pissed off the miners AND Murdoch, his fate was sealed.
I am an English language teacher and over the years have worked with thousands of Chinese students and business people. I feel very close to them in spirit and love hearing their plans and thoughts for the future. I can only pray that no conflict ever takes place because there would be no winner..... only losers.
In USA you have rights and freedom. In China you don't.
@Alberto Francesca Who told you that? Think about it.
Frank S , I totally agree were you are going . 100percent . But the USA is still the land of the free , you can move any were you want , China you cannot . China is taking care of its people , I don’t think USA is .
@李德麦克西 the mainstream media in USA (and most other countries) is such obvious garbage only idiots watch it. You can be really be free but you have to be aware that there are still many influences that mentally enslave/drain you - food, social media, negative thought patterns etc.
Alberto Francesce
I'm Chinese living in China, I want to know what freedom we don't have?
We can walk alone at night with out gun, how about United States? We have freedom, but we have never sacrificed the freedom from others to fulfill our freedom.
For example, many people used to occupy Wall Street. They said it was freedom. They wanted to protest and oppose things they didn’t like.But have they ever thought that this is a barrier to traffic, hindering stock trading, and hindering others' freedom to fulfill their freedom? This is not freedom.
This is called using the reputation of freedom to break the law，Impair the freedom of others.Believe me, a country without freedom is not likely to become the world's second strongest country.
He is a wonderful speaker however I’d like to see an update of this talk considering all that has happened in the last 7 years in international affairs.
Kevin Rudd is one of the few leaders in the world today who speaks Chinese and understands what is happening in the world.
and if he had his way, we'd have to replace english with mandarin & live in an autocratic society as a chinese colony.

Awesome! I agree. I think that the world needs to modernize it's way of thinking of itself. Communications has improved to a new level. We're all connected now. Our technology has progressed, but our cultures and political views have not. We need to adapt to survive the Internet movement and connecting all people and countries more closely than ever before. I loved this message. Thank you Kevin Rudd!
Yes, break down those great firewalls...
This talk resonates at a feverish frequency in May of 2020. It should have been an hour long to allow it to expand its scope.
this aged like fine wine.
I’m a Chinese studying in Canada, My families are still in China, three other different provinces except Wuhan(Hubei Province). I’ll share what I know.
Shortly after Wuhan lockdown, the rest of the China also lockdown. For around two weeks, mass public transportation shuts down and only essential stores remain open. However, the difference between China’s situation is that nearly all people wear masks, as well as protective goggles whenever they left the house. So the outcome after the lockdown is actually pretty positive.
Even when some people back to work now, they still wear masks all the time. Also, the lockdown of other provinces came at the very early stage of the spread of the coronavirus, so the strict quarantine worked decently well. After two months, the situation has been much better now. I’m not too concerned about anywhere in China right now, simply because all the people I know in China wears mask all the time when they are outside, so it’s harder for the coronavirus to keep its n0 close to 1.
What I’m really concerned now is where I live, in Vancouver. From my observation, literally nobody wear masks and take it seriously before last week. This week, the beaches are packed with people close to each other and not wearing masks. I attended a conference meeting on March 13, with 20 people stuck in a small room, 5 of them are coughing like crazy. People do not want to like to see their normal life interrupted and don’t take sick leave. It’s mind buggingly to me. It's been 11 days since I last left the apartment. I went to stock food today in a mall, and the Supermarket is full of people, close to 2 out of 10 people wears a mask, while it's a wonderland for Coronavirus to spread because many people stay close together as fewer shops remain open right now.
What I guess is that, the government outside China advocate people should not wear a mask because there is not enough mask for everybody, but it's not the best option because we are fighting an invisible enemy and many pretend it doesn't exist because they couldn't see it. Getting tested in China is relatively easy, because the government cover all the medical cost so people do not have the mental burden to get tested. Here in BC, Canada, I attempted to help my friend who has fever get tested and it's almost impossible, there are so many restrictions here to get tested. At least as of (March 28).
I'm deeply worried about whether we can actually get coronavirus controlled before it overwhelmed the medical system in the rest of the world. For China, literally all other provinces are helping Wuhan, the epicenter. In the meantime, each community was helping each other to buy food, supply, and have a quarantine life. My parents 's community uses a QR code when you check in and check out the neighborhood. And family who tested positive for COVID 19 posted a small sticker on the door. So community worker and volunteers can leave supply at door front. That's the cost of how we get it under control in China right now.
I'm not clear about situation in Europe, but in north America, even I can tell the government acted too late and too little. Now the coronavirus has already wide spread for quite a while, it's much harder to get it under control. And unfortunately much more will die because there are simply too many people already infected and the resources are limited. I hope more people take it seriously and protect people who are vulnerable COVID 19 in our society. We are in this together.
Had living in China for 18 years, and living in Canada for the past 7 years, I recognized that many people hold very different opinions about different political system. I'm not eager to debate what works better, nor did I really care about the answer. But it's a common interest to all of us, as human kind to stay safe. Keep the people we love live through a tough time like this.
It's not too late, if enough of us stay at home for a while longer, only buy essentials when necessary, we can beat this coronavirus. Every one of us, are gonna to make it work. Take care!
I do have friends and family in China, and they are telling me its running rampant outside of Wuhan.
Same here! I am from China and live in Vancouver now. Nobody on the street wares a musk except me! And people are still doing whatever they want... which makes me worried. Pray for the healing of the world.

Propaganda
I think China is waiting for the apology from Japan more than apology from US...
Zhang Helen The Chinese people deserve an apology more from their own government, the Chinese communist party, than they do for anything America or Japan has done. After all Mao and the communist party killed what 40+ million Chinese during the "Great Leap Forward".
Zhang Helen Modern Japanese historical revisionism doesn't help, but in fairness they HAVE apologised, on numerous occasions, something Chinese media never mentions.
I wonder why? Is it because the Chinese government wants to create an external scapegoat for hate-venting so to divert domestic attention from the systemic corruption and inequality of modern Chinese society?...
Oh surely not, that'd be ever so beastly an accusation against the lovely Chinese government!
Jstoney127 but with-out maos revolution, china would not be where its at today, mao united the whole of china. is the death toll horrendous? yes of course.
mike zhang
Bollocks, Mao would be rolling over his graves at modern Chinese capitalism and rampant corruption - remember how the early communist revoluntionaries gave land back to individual ownership? Look at what's happening now, the state being the single largest monopoly of land ownership, of which any individual is only "renting" the land for about 80 years in return for money to the state coffer!
Plus, as much as you might hate Chiang Kai Shek and he's a douchebag, HE was the one that defeated the regional warlords, the Communists back then were a bunch of guerrillas.
China's "prosperity" today is all thanks to capitalism! Mao screwed the country over with failed collectivisation and mass starvation! Where do you think you make money from if not for exporting cheap stuff to the rest of the world???
+Jstoney127 Of course our government should apologize to us, but that's our business. If a random guy killed your family member, and the murder will be innocent if your family were experiencing a family violence? Ridiculous viewpoint.

His posturing of the "strenght" of the CFMEU, MWU and AWU to China meant nothing to any potential investor and drove market interest away.

Amazing TedTalk.
Kevin Rudd my man. as a Chinese studying in Australia and learning about western culture. There are hard times when people discriminate against you but can't blame them, in some areas China is lacking behind, there are also some prejudice people in China, no country is perfect. There are people out there trying to destroy the peace between these two great countries and people are trying to protect it. This video really encourages people to maintain a healthy world view and carry on to improve the world rather than to destroy it. Because we are in this together, if China and the US actually go to war no one will be safe. Not even Australia, these two nations have enough atomic bombs to destroy earth 1000 times and more. Every nation is in this, these two countries can't solve it themselves we should help them. Sort are our differences and learn from each other. I like the US there are many lovely people there, I would hate if Elon musk dies before he can land things on Mars. Anyways, my every old motherland, 5000 years of history, faced great danger in the last 200 years very close to dying, and the people on that land have built on top of the ashes and finally stood up. Nothing but love for those who sacrificed themselves to save this old civilization(no matter what nationality). Thank you.
