    1:14:46 David Goldman is better than a lot of his peers on his understanding of China, but his final remark exposes the deep American exceptionalism that is the root of all problems in the China-US relationship. No, China does not need to look to the US for inspiration in governance, if anything, the US should look to China for some inspiration in solving some of their societal issues.

      He is an american Jew. He has no choice but to follow the narrative that US is still the world's no1 for governance, when it is not. US is ridden with schisms which are threatening to tear the country apart. China's political culture is based on political stability and consensus which lead to cohesiveness. That way the country can pull together to go forward. Much like a symphonic orchestra. Everyone plays the same tune, the same way, the way as directed by the conductor.

      Both, and all other countries can learn from another as there are no perfect political/economic systems, or anything near it as long as we're human beings with subjective cultural norms endowed with certain historical forces which have shaped the respective nations.

    Goldman is very knowledgeable on issues related to China. I agree with most of his judgements, except his conclusion remark that China needs US as a political system aspiration. The US political system is broken and needs profound reforms.

      Very little indeed! Ultimately Westoids are mostly idiots and so select the worst amongst themselves to be leaders -- whereas in China, there's a whole decades-long apprenticeship in good governance before assuming the highest levels of power!

    I agree with 95% of Goldman says. However when it comes to governance comparison he is woefully misinformed. We the US currently have an extremely inefficient, ineffective government, controlled by the 0.1%. Not my words but conclusions of a multiyear study by Princeton University. Our leaders are almost all lawyers with zero understanding of diplomacy, technology, or history. While the Chinese have an exceptionally well oiled and run governance system that takes into account of opinions and desires of the ppl on the group and local level. And, they are continuously refining that system while we are beholden to a document written more than 200yrs ago by a bunch of old white men.

      As Professor Jane Golley from Australia has observed, China's created a new and unique political economy that bears considerable study.

    Clash of two different mindsets.
    Realist Scarcity mindset: Fear of losing something, anxiety about not having enough, insecurity about lacking security, and greed for more. It always strives for a win-lose outcome, where one's gain is someone else's loss. Obama's Pivot to Asia: "If over a billion Chinese citizens have the same living patterns as Australians and Americans do right now, then all of us are in for a very miserable time. The planet just can't sustain it." Destined for war.
    The benefits of democracy for the world's richest and most powerful country include economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages for the last forty years, costly healthcare, an expensive education system, student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, racial inequality, mass incarceration, the militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing affordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence.
    The form of democracy practiced in the U.S. results in social and economic policies that may not be as beneficial for the poorer eighty-eight percent of the population. These policies stem from a scarcity mindset. Politics determines how wealth is distributed within a country.
    Idealist Abundance mindset: Cooperation, resource-sharing, and win-win outcomes. War is avoidable.
    It was cheaper for China to buy reliable Western chips, benefiting both sides. China spends more on chip imports than on oil. The sanctions prompted China to invest in its own supply chain. Local manufacturers are now more willing to use the perceived less reliable local chips. When self-sufficient, China can provide the world with cheaper chips, while the West and its allies lose access to both the Chinese and global markets.
    The US is developing its own supply chain, but without access to a large market, it cannot be competitive.
    The US is leaving no knees untouched in its Tonya Harding competition strategy.
    The Chinese government had little success in being self-sufficient in technology; they are very grateful to the US for pushing them towards self-sufficiency. Thanks to the US, China now has its own GPS system and space program.
    Continuation of US Foreign Policy to keep Asia poor and chaotic.
    February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy:
    Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time.

    Edit: But I think the point about Chip nanometerage being larger on weaponsh shystemsh ish alsho important in regardsh to long term shupply. Computersh later than mid 90'sh need vasht amountsh of Helium to prodoosh. Helium ish bashically a shingle ushe thing, unlike shay gold, which can be re-melted. Leaksh into the atmoshphere. Sho the long term future of computersh ish like early 2000'sh Nokiash (350nm) as opposhed to shmart phonesh (35nm) anyway (do your own reshearch, I'm shtill fact checking thish).

    The Aquarian Conspiracy sprang from a Policy Report prepared by the Stanford Research Institute Center for the study of Social Policy.
    The aim of the Standard study, state the authors, is to change the desire of mankind from that of industrial progress to one that embraces "spiritualism." (War by non-violent confrontation)
    " The study asserts that, in our present society, the 'image of industrial and technological man' is obsolete and must be 'discarded.'
    Therefore, the Stanford study concludes that they have to change the industrial technological image of man fast.

    David Goldman is correct about the old China and Chinese in general. However Mao has transformed China into a modern China of Confucius with Marx Christian values culture that China never have in her 5000 yrs civilization. Today unofficially, 10 % of Chinese are Christian. Again, that is a first in Chinese civilization. To me, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is better describe about today Chinese than today Americans. We Americans need to confess and repent now, for we had been unfaithful to our Father God and our fellowmen.
