@@ASLUHLUHC3 yeah I like their webpage and articles a lot more than UA-cam channel. It feels like they’re pushing their views too harshly instead of trying to convince you with substantiated evidences
This video starts with a surprising premise, one that suggests that it’s hard to understand the man, his views on China and what he wants because “he doesn’t give wide ranging interviews…”. No, but he has written a four-volume book, “The Governance of China” comprised of a huge number of speeches and articles he’s written on nearly a hundred different topics, from economics to Chinese place in the world. His political philosophy and views aren’t so much a mystery, it’s heavily promoted as “Xi Jingpin Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” throughout the country. I do appreciate the efforts to understand him through the journey of his life, but also regret that so little was said about how surprising it was to have him succeed Hu Jintao over Hu’s favoured successor, Li Keqiang and how much of his efforts to consolidate power and his “anti-corruption” purges are related to a massive shift of power away from the two principal factions of CCP politics (Shanghai Clique and CCYL) and to a brand new one, the Xi Gang. Whether for better or worse, nobody will have changed CCP politics more since Mao than he has done.
You couldn’t really understand one until you have conversations with him. The books he wrote and speeches he made are what he want the world to see he is, not necessarily to be what he really “is”. The hidden parts and facts are outlined through questions and conversations. That is why debates as well as discussions are crucial not only in court judgment but also in every part of world businesses.
Joke's on you, he's leading a nation thats surpassing the US's own economy, at what cost you ask? Not drastically different from what other developped nations have done
Popular way of trying to understand Xi's thoughts by focusing on his younger age is misleading. Younger age can form characters of a person but can hardly decide his view of world in his whole life, especially when it comes to the politicians. Why not dive deep to Xi's life from 1980's to 2012? This is the period he rises up and form his understanding on how China's society is working.

as a person who grew up in a family who suffered a lot from cultural revolution, living away from China for years, am still so shocked to see such biased views and twisted facts!
My heartfelt sympathy to your family and for the millions who suffered under the madness unleashed upon China by Mao and the CCP. The insult that is Communist dictatorship is a cabal of criminals that mastered spin and have run amok for 72 years. We now look at a deeply evil tyrant like Xi Jin Ping who has more media and nationwide systemic power than Mao could have dreamed for and wonder when will the failed social and political experiment end?
China has a concept called “志向”, which is similar to the lofty ideal of individuals. It is very sad that the Economist deliberately distorted it into a person's greed for power.
we need someone who truly understand Chinese culture and language to give a fair analysis of who he is, IE someone who speaks mandarin and lived there for a long time not just a bunch of foreigners. If that, I don't think its enough it has to be someone who's familiar with history of Chinese bureaucracy from the spring & autumn period and so forth.
Besides that, you can also find more about Xi Jinping through his landlady in Iowa and her family. Young Xi Jinping lived in her house in Iowa. Xi, according to her and the people in Iowa seems to be a nice and grateful person. He visited his landlady later and the house he lived in now becomes the building for Sino - American Friendship.
I'm native yet I knew nothing of him until he became one of the country's leaders around 2007ish. I was shocked to know he is the husband of Peng Liyuan, who is a quite famous singer in China. Later, I learned some of his youth age but nothing regarding what he had done when he was a local governor. It's quite interesting to learn the here-and-there stories of his father though. His father seemed to be a man who was tough but with sympathy and insisted on procedure justice. He is so unlike his father in many ways. I am also curious about how he earned the trust of Jiang and Hu. Since both Jiang and Hu are very politically talented and I wonder what makes them pick up Xi.
@@spacetoast7783 There is no T sound in Xi, either. Clearly youre not a Mandarin speaker or speak with some kind of southern accent not Xi as pronounced on standard Northern and Beijing Mandarin.
@@Waverlyduli It literally is the sound. You Americans can't fathom a language with different sounds than English, and that's your own problem to sort out
@@spacetoast7783 what American? She's Australian. There are many countries who struggle with another's pronunciations. Especially English th and w sounds, Arabic throat sounds, French nasal sounds, Polish krz, etc
Who is Xi Jinping! I would say a man who thinks before he acts and a man who has everything under control. Hes a intelligent and a strong man who creates a strong and modern China. And i belive that he is the only Leader in the World who really has the things under control, himself and his country.
Xi Jinping may not be the greatest Chinese leader of all time. But right now, he's our best option. He has enough prestige to coordinate the entire political situation, and he is determined to keep China independent. Most importantly, he is very concerned about the construction and development of poor rural areas.
As interesting as this video is, it really needed to be longer in order to better justify the claims it makes. I can't help but think that a specific narrative was in mind when making this video.
Norway, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands are the ones I could think of in less than 15 seconds. This is not kindergarten. Someone elses faults do not excuse your own.
I support Xi Jinping. In any case, he is promoted step by step instead of directly becoming the leader by election. In terms of ability, he is absolutely reliable, at least more capable than most Western leaders.
And then these leaders with no record of governance are toyed with by unelected experienced government civil servants bureaucrats like the TV show "Yes, Prime Minister" hahahaha
The west allows you to post such comments, and for the truth to be debated. The Chinese government does not allow speech, because it is afraid of the truth.
Guess who bombed the pipelines? USA&UK: hahahaha😄😄😄, it's Russia, to bomb their own pipelines to stop making money😄😄. USA will protect south China Sea from China which is the main trade route for China😄😄
you can't expect brainwashed people to make sound logical judgement. And it also understandable, West like to do ridiculous things, American swallow the tariff by launching trade war against China and EU shoot its own foot by sanctioning Russia, and by dumping their own interest down to the drain to follow the order of US.
1) Winnie-The-Pooh 2) Mao's the 2nd 3) Putin's most influential Puppet 4) Some Guy on the mainland who enable people to starve to death with zero Covid lockdowns for weeks/months on end.
Xi was brought down to the level of any average citizen during the cultural revolution. He went to the countryside, after his father was "purged". He worked, he memorized the words of Mao, and from there, speaking in the words of Mao, he worked himself slowly out of the rut, and slowly up the ladder. If this doesn't change every single aspect of a man, I don't know what would. I think Xi has done great things for china, I do wish, for the sake of the Chinese, they would loosen the grip on the people, especially in such troubled times. And no one should be persecuted for their religious beliefs.
As a Chinese, I get political education more about Mao and Deng in school. So I used not to think Xi as a great leader in china. But in western media, he is highly noticed. That makes me think maybe he is the special one.
putting people in concentration camps and denying it and maintaining a 0-covid policy and locking down 400 million people for a disease that is considered harmless in the civilized world is not reckless? ok
Indeed. Actions speak louder than words. The US has well... invaded a ridiculous number of countries. Russia annexed a region of an independent UN recognised country and invaded them. And China has done what exactly? Invaded Africa? The issue of Taiwan is the unfortunate result of the unresolved Chinese civil war.
Mandarin started in Beijing when Mongolians tried to speak Chinese but sound different and thus become the standard language in the north. Who dares to correct the barbarians.
Why would PRC rise so easily if it wasn't for russian influences also from the USA side ? Don't you think ? Today. We talk as if the world is like they are enemies. But in truth after the Soviet collapsed... Where did those Russians go to ? The USA. Enough said.
I write blog posts on China's Xiaohongshu social medial platform, despite that I only write about finance and economics and never touch politics, I always find my posts "in violation of relevant laws/regulations". If there is any kind of negative or even neutral tones about China, you cannot post it. I once wrote something about China's purchase of US treasuries (which is just a fact) and got told that it contained an "unscientific statement"....They hire so many intelligent engineers but to work on algorithms to censor what people say, what a waste of talent....
Says China correspondent of The Economist, ‘We don’t have that much information about what Xi was doing in the provinces’, but ‘he took up smoking because it was an acceptable way for him to take a break while sent to the countryside.‘ Do listen to her broadcast.
What Xi Jinping want is what is best for China. He also want fair trade with others and help to build up the basic infrastructure in Africa, Latin America, Arab world and SE Asia. None of Xi Jinping’s policy is about war but peace and alleviate poverty. He builds infrastructure and help other countries and definitely NOT destroy, enslave and exploit other countries.

To be honest I don't think even he knows what he wants once power is given to you and you have all the riches in the world your mind tends to be warped with absolute nonesense
So true! The world should have a means of critically analyzing then deposing these monsters that come to power and seem to have one objective, which is to stay in power at all cost. So many leaders follow this exact path, how do we continue to support these dangerous men, one of whom will surely lead to something horrific in the world from which there will be no turning back? It sickens me to see what Putin is doing today, and Xi is right there poised to do the same, all for their own personal sense of glory and what they believe is their historical birthright.

I never understand why there are so many foreigners always stand with Taiwan. Do you speak the same language? Do you have the same culture background? What is wrong with your guys? Do you think that you are on the side of the Justice? The relationship between Taiwan and China is none of your business. If you want to help Taiwan, while Mainland attack them, you should come to die for them. Can you do that?
Xi is going to be challenged for his job. Xi will never invade Taiwan. And for that we should all be grateful. But I promise you, that will all change, soon. We must all prepare. How? I don't know how.
This post already starts with bias unfair view. The intonations of story teller who sounds like telling about evil. Economist you are reporting. It should not propagate or telling your opinion. I can’t imagine this post consume by Western people without checking story from other side too. Economists story may be correct but i always check the other sources too
Seriously? You couldn't even get his surname right? Pronounced more like Shi (not Si). That's unforgivable to start with. Then you have someone who talks quite vehemently and states umpteen times over that he was born into an elite family (so?) and then at the age of 9 that elitism was lost in a Mao purge. So making it true that he had a very difficult childhood as the official story-line goes. Why did you try to make out so much about this privileged background as though this was somehow utterly reprehensible. Is the rest of the video any less biased? I somehow doubt it.
You can always tell when a Western journalist has checked the pronunciation of Xi Jinping's name with an Overseas Chinese or a Chinese speaker from Taiwan.
the true irony is that this "show" is so much like the forementioned propaganda machine ... tells this story : making of a evil leader the bias is so heavy you can cut it with a knife :) Siu Ling Wong is so enthusiastic that she only tells audience half truths. David Rennie ... with his "honest" presentation ... insinuates that cannibalism was a open policy from the CCP :)
We as American citizens need better understanding China leader so see life from his prospective.This important our policy makers wise decisions in dealing with as US citizens
What about the economy? Xi has the decisiveness to FINALLY put an end to the property's market ponzi scheme Sure corrupt local officials might feel the pinch from loss of land sale, but the people gains more affordable housing It's not prudent to make your judgement on Xi or China based off of anti-China sources, because their intention is not to understand China, it's to be cynical and bad mouth China
Sure the Chinese population ian't easy to fool becaus they now all have access to everything like technology and quality education. All made possible by the CCP
China has a no first use nuclear policy. In the event of war on Taiwan, aka the second Chinese civil war, it’s most unlikely China would be the first to reach the nuclear button. So instead of worrying about how China should conduct itself as the new world leader in the East, worry about your own humble position as an island nation losing sovereignty to the big powers.
Grow up "The Economist". Since you are read all over the world, your biases are ruinning the credibility of your Magazine. Love from Village Nisar Ahmed Mubejo, Pakistan🙏
I used to read the Economist, watch BBC, and CNN, now no more. Too biased, like they are paid to write what they're supposed to write, just like Justine Trudeau and Rishi Sunak said what they were ordered to say by the big boss.
He monitored 6000 posts per hour? That’s impossible, that’s one per second. You can’t even read a post let alone choose what happens to it in that time
'Xi' (习 in 习 近平 is by far the closest in pronunciation to the English word 'she'。And don't mispronounce his name with a non-standard Southern accent which sounds more like 'see' and is the reason for some people's confusion. However, Xi Jin-Ping is not a Southerner. He's a Northerner, speaking with a Northern standard Mandarin accent.
@@brianuyungele1583 I'm not making a value judgement, merely translating directly the mandarin term 标准 国语 'standard Chinese' and while not even supporting it one way or the other personally, it was adopted in China as the standard pronunciation of Mandarin to reduce just this type of confusion. Every linguist knows such a simple matter. 'She' (like he and 'she') not 'see'.
Not just global 🇺🇸 hegemony but ''western white hegemony''. If you read between the lines of G7, NATO etc. Its all to maintain and preserve white western surpemacy.

Hypothesis --> "evidence" --> confirmation = this specific Economist video Hypothesis --> research --> Description for further study = Academia As uncomfortable as it may be, confusion is sometimes more valuable than a "definitive conclusion"
If you want to know about the selection of officials in China, you need to learn Chinese first, instead of reading second-hand materials in English. --from China.
There's nothing 'great' about the level of research here and the budget was far less than the fake praise for Xi Jin Ping campaign the CCP is paying for in the lead up to Xi Jin Ping becoming Mao 0.2 at the Party congress. That's something the CCP should be ashamed not proud of. That's just a backward step to Chinese Emperors.
Xi Jinping deserves to be the world’s leader. He can lift hundreds of millions Chinese people out of poverty, he is the only leader on earth that I believe he can solve the world’s poverty problem.
Why is taking care of your OWN people an "obsession"? I could only wish we had politicians of this calibre. You may want to note that YOUR electricity bill is about to increase by 80% because OUR politicians took the side of crooked Ukrainian politicians and the Biden/Clinton families over their own people.
the current Chinese achievement is not result of one man, but efforts of all leaders before Xi and including Xi, as well as all Chinese people. Xi has done a remarkable job, and is well liked by Chinese people because of his leadership, for they enjoy more wealthy and safe life (no foreign power dare to put their feet onto Chinese land again ). China is in 21st century while many western minds still stuck in old colonial times.
@@wyz9815 the current achievement is the result of millions of honest hard working Chinese people and the coming collapse of China will be the work of of only one man. Decades of efforts and sacrifices will be lost, very sad
@Zack Smith I don't know why people blame war related things on a man who didn't start any war during his time in office, if you think about US and Russia,It's confusing and something-wrong.
Do not believe too much in this video. It's a mix of facts and spins. Critically review and watch for the actual results, achievements and legacy of President Xi. From time to time a great leader arise in China.
I really appreciate the insights provided by the economist. However it would be nice to have the first name of the main character pronounced accurately.
And i also heard that, Xi is super obsessed with uniting Taiwan with China, due to his fear that he hasn’t achieved something praiseworthy or great in his political career (while the former presidents had all done) that’s why he is getting sick.
No... people do not do everything just to fulfill their need or protect themselves. As a leader of such communist party, it is the correct thing he should do for the greater will. Don't only absord negative and biased comments from social media.
This is possibly the LAZIEST video I have seen made on Xi Jingping. The knowledge of the authors of the video largely does not go beyond caricature. One example: - Xi jinping considers his exp. in the countryside formative because he suffered. Suffering builds character. Just as TDR in USA would attribute his days in the west OR Nehru in India would attibute his time in a British jail as one of the most formative time of their life - without suffering greatness simply does not arise. The fact that the author thinks that such an experience 'should make him hate the party' shows the tiny grasp the author has on chinese history/politics.
Western propaganda ideology is too serious to evaluate history fairly and objectively. For example, at the beginning, it was said that the privileged class enjoyed the quality of life that ordinary people could not enjoy. It is recommended that the anchor learn about the period of the Cultural Revolution, when Deng Xiaoping, the former leader of China, was also assigned to work in factories. China began to reform and open up in 1979. Only when the overall national economy improves can you have what you call a high-quality life. It is recommended that the anchor check the Chinese economic data before 1979.
This 15-minute clip does not tell us anything new. The Economist is better off doing a documentary on this childhood friend of Xi, on how she ended up in the West, though that may not attract enough audience. The Economist, just like BBC, is no longer what it was when I was still a budding student back in the 80s and 90s. They have very little to inform, much less enrich their audience. When there is nothing to add, one can concoct and mislead, adding some fearmongering in between. Sometimes, the background music says a lot about their stance. This is sadly, one of the chosen paths. To an overseas Chinese like me, there is a difficult job to be done before long term peace can be attained across the Taiwan Strait. I am glad someone is taking it upon their shoulders. This understanding is perhaps why the Chinese people is willing to put up with their current leaders for even longer.
It doesn't matter what Xi Jinping wants, it's all about what the economist want you to think what he wants.
That’s correct
Well said!

His father seemed to be a man who was tough but with sympathy and insisted on procedure justice. He is so unlike his father in many ways. I am also curious about how he earned the trust of Jiang and Hu. Since both Jiang and Hu are very politically talented and I wonder what makes them pick up Xi.
@@陆家兴Yeah We just have to know that everything he does is for his people😊
the presenter could at least have googled the correct pronounciation of his name before blasting this out on youtube
There's no ㄒ sound in English.
@@spacetoast7783 its literally pronounced "SHE" in english, not "KSI" or "SI"

Instead of “Reading and thinking.” He actually said “Reading and meditating”😅 he meditates… guys😂
Who is Xi Jinping! I would say a man who thinks before he acts and a man who has everything under control. Hes a intelligent and a strong man who creates a strong and modern China. And i belive that he is the only Leader in the World who really has the things under control, himself and his country.
So, the CIA complains that it's getting harder and harder to plant spies in China...😂……
❤Exactly. Also China is making it hard to spy ELSEWHERE.
Xi Jinping may not be the greatest Chinese leader of all time. But right now, he's our best option. He has enough prestige to coordinate the entire political situation, and he is determined to keep China independent. Most importantly, he is very concerned about the construction and development of poor rural areas.
it is amazing you can read english and conclude like that
As interesting as this video is, it really needed to be longer in order to better justify the claims it makes. I can't help but think that a specific narrative was in mind when making this video.
They also released an 8-part podcast series called The Prince which is very interesting.
@@jkgh374 I have just started listening to that. Much more fleshed out than the video. :)
Western media has its own narrative in mind, the western propaganda is far from truth.

US is suppose to be not a police state but, the police are trigger free.
Norway, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands are the ones I could think of in less than 15 seconds.
This is not kindergarten. Someone elses faults do not excuse your own.
I support Xi Jinping. In any case, he is promoted step by step instead of directly becoming the leader by election. In terms of ability, he is absolutely reliable, at least more capable than most Western leaders.
agree

And then these leaders with no record of governance are toyed with by unelected experienced government civil servants bureaucrats like the TV show "Yes, Prime Minister" hahahaha

中国人在这里评论。习近平的领导究竟怎么样，拭目以待不就好了呗。中国在经济，军事，外交方面确实改观了不少，但民生，教育等很多方面也有着各种各样的问题。不过目前来看，作为一个中国的平民，我才不管你究竟是民主还是专制，发展什么样的道路，我只要我自己能够物质和精神生活富足就行。目前来看，习的工作做的还是相当不错，所以个人还是对习充满期待。(别天天说中国人被错误信息洗脑，你们西方的媒体没有切实调查中国，就发布各种莫名其妙的关于中国的报道，你们难道没有被洗脑？还有人说'insightful'，真是滑稽)
西方，尤其是美国民众，是我见过最被洗脑的人了， 但也不能怪西方民众， 架不住西方媒体的洗脑术太精湛绝伦了，没看见经济学人的所谓中国专家，毫无自知之明的, 自以为是的, 逻辑混乱的自说自话。 我都服了。
The west allows you to post such comments, and for the truth to be debated. The Chinese government does not allow speech, because it is afraid of the truth.
他们这个视频里放了这么多的漫画，很明显的洗脑视频。对中国这样的国家来说，最能影响我们国家政治形势的永远是最广大人民群众的期盼。习这十年，虽然经济慢了下来，但看得见水变得清澈，城市绿化越来越好，贪污腐败得到有效遏制，社会保障覆盖到更多的村民和弱势群体。记者永远只在乎是否符合他们心中的民主形式，却忽视了在我们这么一个发展中国家，民生才是民心所向。我们走好自己的路就可以了，欧洲加美国才多少人，他们没有资格指手画脚

Xi was brought down to the level of any average citizen during the cultural revolution. He went to the countryside, after his father was "purged". He worked, he memorized the words of Mao, and from there, speaking in the words of Mao, he worked himself slowly out of the rut, and slowly up the ladder. If this doesn't change every single aspect of a man, I don't know what would. I think Xi has done great things for china, I do wish, for the sake of the Chinese, they would loosen the grip on the people, especially in such troubled times. And no one should be persecuted for their religious beliefs.
As a Chinese, I get political education more about Mao and Deng in school. So I used not to think Xi as a great leader in china. But in western media, he is highly noticed. That makes me think maybe he is the special one.
Of course he is. When the west can't stop talking negatively about him, you know he is doing a great job for china.
He's an effective leader but it is dangerous to invest too much power in one man.

I write blog posts on China's Xiaohongshu social medial platform, despite that I only write about finance and economics and never touch politics, I always find my posts "in violation of relevant laws/regulations". If there is any kind of negative or even neutral tones about China, you cannot post it. I once wrote something about China's purchase of US treasuries (which is just a fact) and got told that it contained an "unscientific statement"....They hire so many intelligent engineers but to work on algorithms to censor what people say, what a waste of talent....

Fact is not allowed in China. Only beautiful and ridiculous lies are welcome on social media.
Says China correspondent of The Economist, ‘We don’t have that much information about what Xi was doing in the provinces’, but ‘he took up smoking because it was an acceptable way for him to take a break while sent to the countryside.‘ Do listen to her broadcast.
What Xi Jinping want is what is best for China. He also want fair trade with others and help to build up the basic infrastructure in Africa, Latin America, Arab world and SE Asia. None of Xi Jinping’s policy is about war but peace and alleviate poverty. He builds infrastructure and help other countries and definitely NOT destroy, enslave and exploit other countries.
❤Thank you very much.
Westerners are reluctant to admit that China has developed without any colonial plunder, which makes Westerners look like a joke. In fact, China has developed in the cracks with its own hands, which is a miracle in itself. The mistakes made by the Communist Party of China in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China are also a practice of the future development path. The Cultural Revolution silenced the radicals in China. Communism cannot save China. In the 2008 financial crisis, China used its own economy to prevent the collapse of the US financial system, but the United States did not regard China as a friend. In 2016, the South China Sea confrontation occurred. Facts have proved that capitalism does not accept China either, because China has violated the interests of American financial groups. China must give up its illusions and go its own way. It's as if someone is constantly saying in the ears of the Chinese: You see, it's so tragic to take someone else's path. You must find your own way before you can realize China's dream of becoming the world's number one again. If you understand this, you will understand what China is doing now and what socialism with Chinese characteristics is.
To be honest I don't think even he knows what he wants once power is given to you and you have all the riches in the world your mind tends to be warped with absolute nonesense
So true! The world should have a means of critically analyzing then deposing these monsters that come to power and seem to have one objective, which is to stay in power at all cost. So many leaders follow this exact path, how do we continue to support these dangerous men, one of whom will surely lead to something horrific in the world from which there will be no turning back? It sickens me to see what Putin is doing today, and Xi is right there poised to do the same, all for their own personal sense of glory and what they believe is their historical birthright.

While I always enjoy the channel, I have to say that this video is quite superficial.
Seriously? You couldn't even get his surname right? Pronounced more like Shi (not Si). That's unforgivable to start with.
Then you have someone who talks quite vehemently and states umpteen times over that he was born into an elite family (so?) and then at the age of 9 that elitism was lost in a Mao purge. So making it true that he had a very difficult childhood as the official story-line goes. Why did you try to make out so much about this privileged background as though this was somehow utterly reprehensible.
Is the rest of the video any less biased? I somehow doubt it.
At least Mr Xi won't poopoo in front of media.😀
You can always tell when a Western journalist has checked the pronunciation of Xi Jinping's name with an Overseas Chinese or a Chinese speaker from Taiwan.
the true irony is that this "show" is so much like the forementioned propaganda machine ... tells this story : making of a evil leader
the bias is so heavy you can cut it with a knife :) Siu Ling Wong is so enthusiastic that she only tells audience half truths.

every chinese citizen wants the mainland to reunite with taiwan, it's not just a ccp thing.
This is possibly the LAZIEST video I have seen made on Xi Jingping. The knowledge of the authors of the video largely does not go beyond caricature. One example:
- Xi jinping considers his exp. in the countryside formative because he suffered. Suffering builds character. Just as TDR in USA would attribute his days in the west OR Nehru in India would attibute his time in a British jail as one of the most formative time of their life - without suffering greatness simply does not arise. The fact that the author thinks that such an experience 'should make him hate the party' shows the tiny grasp the author has on chinese history/politics.
Clearly stated his experience did not lead him to hate the party but to accept its superiority
Western propaganda ideology is too serious to evaluate history fairly and objectively. For example, at the beginning, it was said that the privileged class enjoyed the quality of life that ordinary people could not enjoy. It is recommended that the anchor learn about the period of the Cultural Revolution, when Deng Xiaoping, the former leader of China, was also assigned to work in factories. China began to reform and open up in 1979. Only when the overall national economy improves can you have what you call a high-quality life. It is recommended that the anchor check the Chinese economic data before 1979.

This 15-minute clip does not tell us anything new. The Economist is better off doing a documentary on this childhood friend of Xi, on how she ended up in the West, though that may not attract enough audience. The Economist, just like BBC, is no longer what it was when I was still a budding student back in the 80s and 90s. They have very little to inform, much less enrich their audience. When there is nothing to add, one can concoct and mislead, adding some fearmongering in between. Sometimes, the background music says a lot about their stance. This is sadly, one of the chosen paths. To an overseas Chinese like me, there is a difficult job to be done before long term peace can be attained across the Taiwan Strait. I am glad someone is taking it upon their shoulders. This understanding is perhaps why the Chinese people is willing to put up with their current leaders for even longer.
I love this Chinese correspondent - wong - who just tells lies as if they are so true. lol
Look at her tongue when she's speaking, a snake tongue. I'm not even Chinese, but I'm old enough to judge a human character.
