Great dialogue as always. Always good to hear the Chinese side as an American, and Nazia is extremely informative. Definitely learned a lot from this one.
Wasn't it fmr Premier Zhou Enlai who famously quipped: “One of the delightful things about Americans is that they have absolutely no historical memory.” 🤔
This is how people learn from one another, instead of throttling citizens down their throats, what American governance system that fancies these heinous leadership! How to progress in the 21st Century, let alone prosper the common people!! 🤨
Thank you! Hearing about how the Chinese view the US was fascinating. I know most ASEAN nations would agree that the US modernization of the past was something to be emulated. As a US citizen who likes to travel abroad, I’m embarrassed for my country. The emerging economies have outpaced the US in more ways than most Americans who never left the country can imagine. Yet, their “exceptionalism” is as strong as their ignorance. Some still think Dubai, Qatar, Singapore, etc., as some backwards minded savages living in dirt huts, while in reality, it is quite the opposite.😢
It is important that private finance and billionaires never be allowed to have undue influence over Chinese public ownership. The government should always keep its place at the top unless it wants to end up like the USA.
China is the only country in the world that can make all its infrastructure work. That require government central planning of railways, highways, airways, subways, which require electricity, water, steel, oil and gas, satellite communication, financed by national and local banks, with the input of million strong engineers and technicians. At the same time, constructions must consider environmental, social and economical impacts, or education and tourism. Almost all of the above are run by state owned enterprises under the State Department. (And thus China can build Belt and Road) For railways owned and run by private companies, almost none in the world are profitable without government subsidies. It’s simply too expensive to buy all kinds of machinery and hire people to do the never ending maintenance. If the railways and the war machine are controlled by the same “investors”, and likely they are, they will have little incentive to fix the railways but make more wars in Ukraine or South China Sea which is “easy money”.
As all history demonstrates (especially China's) and simple logic proves, Government is by definition an inherently inefficient, wasteful, & coercive territorial monopolist of ultimate decisionmaking & violence... China's move towards free markets in the early 1980s and subsequent corrupting of our system to extract the productive base of the USA via their friends in the US Govt demanding they be granted MFN trading status & entry into the WTO (the Clintons demanded this if you recall)... Unfortunately Capitalism does not exist in the USA...Capitalism requires, sound money, free markets, property rights and a government that does not subsidize moral hazard....none of these things exist.
The US n its vassal states can no longer compete with China on equal terms, they have to become rent seeking economies, Creating more wars around the world like what they are doing in Ukraine now is one way to make lots of easy money
What people need to understand about the US is that for all it's rhetoric about freedom and democracy, that only applies if you are wealthy and powerful. For the average citizen, we have functionally zero say in the running of our country. It is a democracy for the rich, or a bourgeois democracy. When you frame it in that regard, everything makes way more sense. Why is XYZ industry not nationalized despite it being absolutely critical? Because it's making some group of people insanely wealthy. Look at just about every problem this country faces and it all stems back to that.
Never mind, be a bit patient, eh. The deep state shadow rulers r old n will die in due time. Solution: Do not be discouraged by current brood of vipers! Do ur best in whatever u r gifted, diligence is man's prized possession 🏆. Prepare ye the Way of The LORD! Every mountain be broughr low. Every valley be exalted. Every crooked path be made straight. Every rough surface be made smooth 🙏💓
Thank you for presenting a wonderful conversation that affects all of us in the United States and to look at the comparison with those same entities in China. It's most unfortunate that our government caters to special interests rather than the needs and priorities of the people. It's also true that the enormous amount of money airmarked for the military if used to improve the lives of its citizens and public services instead of weapons, life would be so much better for the people of this country.
Great convo! I am from LA and can confirm traffic is absolutely horrible here. I live on the East side and I rarely go to the beach because the traffic to get only a dozen miles away is so bad, in fact, locals call it the "great traffic divide" between West and East LA. I want bullet trains like China has!
Didn’t they open some new train lines. What about the the subway and that street that got it’s own dedicated bus lane? I’m literally asking because I don’t know. I live in the “greater la area” but I barely get to la county let alone the city.
The US does not have ownership of anything, except the military. We have paying registration fees to the DMV annually for road repairs but roads are in such poor condition. They didn't have the money for road expansion in California highways, mainly surround the silicon valley. Look at the SF Bay Bridge, many paid lots of money crossing the bridge daily but in the end, they still have to make people pay for the new bridge. And who built the new bridge, China. What is the US going to do when the second half of the Bay Bridge falls. Are they not going to call China to help build it? Certain infrastructure businesses should be owned by the government so that they do not have to pay so much to the private sector for upgrades and repairs, also to ensure quality and timely maintenance and repairs. Look at what PG&E done in California, it's irresponsible and terrible. It's really irresponsible on the government part not to own critical infrastructure companies.
What happened in America? Capitalism. In China money is spent by the state on behalf of what works for everyone - for example, a state of the art rail system. In the US everything is based on whether a small group of elites will make a profit. Building infrastructure doesn't put tons of money in the pockets of the oligarchs so we get no infrastructure. And in the case of Norfold Southern, they aren't actually held accountable, so they'll pay a pittance in fines, and the injured people and environment will just have to suffer.
Yes! We should be discussing how to accomplish improvements for the COMMON GOOD OF THE PEOPLE, and stress the complete lack of that approach in the US and how that needs to change. Also, the overspending on military while the country falls apart at home - is the story of dying empire; that's exactly what happened at the end of the Roman empire.
Personal vehicles are a massive burden on poor people Tangent to working class burden are these millions of Americans who have settled to the notion of freedom as being absolved of responsibility, outside the work force with no concern but keeping the old car alive to get to the liquor store, the dope dealer and back to the couch; I spent decades around this culture, coast to coast, it’s got to be 5-10M people unaccounted in unemployment
How could anyone afford even an old car and keep it going if they were not working? Unless they happen to be the dealer! Or sub contracting from the liquor store?
Should have mentioned how high Amtrak fares are in Philadelphia and how one must wait out in the weather to ride the bus if you are in the lower 80 percent.
Any source of goods or services necessary for the good of the people must be publicly owned. This is the crux between capitalism and the spectrum of variations on Marx's teachings. Is it not obvious by now that we must work for a cooperative community of caring nations.
I agree 100%. Anyone who thinks that private ownership of these things can work is delusional. We need to start demanding that the government step in to provide for the COMMON GOOD of the people. Basing everything on the profits of a handful of elite oligarchs is a way to ensure disaster and decay.
Public infrastructure is SUPPOSED to be "in the red"... That's what public means, to serve people's best interests. So they can live like human beings with security.
@@lisa.e5776 I can assure you Americans are not really that creative. I lived there for a decade and got my PhD there. I worked with the so called best of best so I know what I'm talking about.
@@gelinrefira👍👏 People got lazy when they are permitted to print money for their needs. They will probably incurred some "Brain damage" Where are you from originally? I'm from SEA . Wish you well and stay safe.
So true regarding American memory spans. It really seems like everyone here loses all recollection of history whenever that history is inconvenient to capitalist interests. Even when that history happened like, last week.
My anecdotal knowledge of this; my friend in Arizona worked in the public school lunchroom and she said if the lunch bill is unpaid they give the child a piece of cold cheese and two pieces of bread for lunch. I'm sure it varies among school districts.
Definitely real. Happens in most public schools. Another thing to consider are all the kids who skip lunch entirely. At my high school that was quite a few kids, all of which aren't represented on any statistic because the school doesn't keep track of which kids are eating anything.
As to having a car and free to where and when you want. I can say nowadays it is not true! For instance New York is one big extortion trap. There is not one road you can take throug New York. Where you are not extorted out of your money. And oftentimes more than 2 times you are forced to pay by way of so called "tolls". My last trip to visit family in Massachusetts. When i returned to my house in Pennsylvania. I flatly refused to pay that extortion and received threatening letters about not paying thatv"toll bill". And the last " bill" for that over due "toll" was nearly 700 dollars and a threat of impounded my car and arrest of me by New York. If I was caught in New York.
Health care should be nationalzed. When you are sick you do not have time to shop around for a good deal. The average person doesn't have enough medical knowledge to tell if they are getting good medical care, or just being given pointless test to pad the hospital bill. The average person doesn't even know how much anything cost and thus know if they are being over changed.For example Americans pay on average $300 for an insulin pen. But outside the US the same pen, same brand, same manufacturer cost $10.
Profit and wealth by the few is glorified and America’s are constantly told to worship the rich and even to the extent of sympathizing fir the very rich.
Those trains with old technology, 1880s! what does that tell you about the importance of public transport in the world of America? You have an expensive motor car or you do not matter. As for the lack of any care for workers, no sick leave, little safety, treated as totally expendable , replaceable units. There were always a lot of Black Americans working on the trains weren't there? Does this have anything to do with the lack of attention or support they've had, either from their transport powerful unions or whatever party is in govt? Like the water in Flint?
The US economy depends of production of machineries of war but the the chines economy in contrast depends on exporting consumer good, so there is no wonder then the US needs war and instability while the Chines need peace and stability
Americans has a dementia epidemic for our short term memory is the issue we forget everything in a couple of weeks 😂😂in regards to trains china has not come by to build it for us still waiting for the first hi speed train that does 50 miles per hour in the country 😂😂
PLEASE!!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! STOP using the line "thanks for having me", its so pathetic, and demeaning. not to mention very unLeft. do stop, and you'll be a much better person for it.
Interesting Afghanistan came up, the US spent 2 Trillion Dollars over 20 years. Possibly one of the countries if not the only one, where the balance sheet is in the red. But they have more than made for that from other countries, with imposed sanctions. That’s not the only way, Iraq after it’s invasions can’t sell its own oil. The US does that for them and they don’t just hand over the proceeds. The Iraqi government has to provide their budget for them to get a penny. It’s like applying for a Bank Loan and if it’s approved then you get the money. Not necessarily all the money. It’s not just the US the French are at it too, all of the countries in Africa who were once colonies of France are paying through their nose for independence. This is how it works, these countries were told that if you want freedom then, there’s a price to pay. You people are too stupid, to look after your own money. You have to deposit 85% of your GDP every year with the French National Bank. If you want any of that money back you have to apply for it like a loan. If approved then you will get the money (sounds familiar). You will have to pay interest at international rates. When you pay it back. Is it just me or can anyone see the stupidity, absurdity bullying and racketeering that’s going on. Deposit my money into a bank account and if I want/need to make a withdrawal, I have to give them my financial details, justify and pay it back with interest. The myth is IMPERIAL RULE IS OVER. COLONIAL RULE IS OVER. The BRITISH MUST BE KICKING THEMSELVES FOR NOT HAVING SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE INDIAN SUB CONTINENT. MAYBE NOT BECAUSE AFTER 200 years of almost INSLAVEMENT OF THE INDIAN PEOPLE, BY THE TIME THEY LEFT. THEY HAD LOOTED, STOLEN AND PLUNDERED THE COUNTRY TO SUCH A STATE, THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT. NOT TO MENTION INDIA DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME KIND OF NATURAL RESOURCES AFRICAN COUNTRIES HAVE. ITS LIKE THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING. The legacy of IMPERIAL, COLONIAL RULE.
I think he was talking about housing projects which is chasing around the money. Capitalism has the same behavior every where in the world. They rush in the hot market and eventually " hot cakes" (popular products) are overly produced. Nevertheless, the problem ( Supply more than Demand) will be resolved following the rebound of China's economy. Actually, houses are essentia needs in China's society.. China government should play the role of monitors in property sector to ensure a healthier development
If the railways were owned by the government in the US, we would already be an additional trillion dollars in debt, the trains would have twice as many accidents, and we would all be paying twice as much per mile.
Great discussion. And you're so right about Americas having amnesia; they can't remember what happened last week. In fact, the late public intellectual Gore Vidal wrote a book called "The United States of Amnesia" which is also a video: ua-cam.com/video/zli2VHO4p1I/v-deo.html

It’s not central planning only. That might be a solution. The main issue is accountability and responsibility of the govt.

why dont u do some story on those Empty Cities in China
It's the result of over capitalism.
They're not empty anymore. China just built the infrastructure prior to people moving in
