“Western modernisation was fraught with crimes such as war, the slave trade, colonisation & plunder, which inflicted untold misery on many countries. Having long suffered from aggression, bullying & humiliation by Western powers, we Chinese are keenly aware of the value of peace & will never follow the well-worn path of the West. The biggest problem with Western modernisation is that it is capital centred rather than people centred & seeks to maximise capital gains rather than serve the interests of the vast majority of people.” Xi Jinping
Thanks Jingjing. Weiwei theorizes well. But this must stand the test of times going forward. 40 some years are not enough. While Civilizational arguments do not hold much water. China’s famous diplomat was asked once what he thought of the French Revolution, and he answered “it was too early to tell” We all pray China will keep up the great works till such time that it becomes self evident. Worldwide. Amen 🙏
Why dismiss the Civilizational arguments out of hand? How much do you really understand this argument? If you don't know much about this argument, but chose to dismiss it outright, you should take your own advice; “it was too early to tell”
Plans lead ot actions, building, direction, arrival ...with no plan you never go, build, or arrive...aimless wandering In a casino as a rube, to be used...and loose everything...is no plan at all.
The biggest difference between the western countries and China is not their different political systems but rather their different economic models that they use in order to live and to prosper. In order to live and to prosper, China relies on the hard work, ingenuity and dedication of its people, and on trade and peaceful cooperation with other countries. In the process, China helps other countries to prosper also. In order to live and to prosper, the western countries, for their part, relies on stealing the wealth of the non-western countries, using brute force (military power) and other devious means such as lies, cheats, blackmails, sanctions, etc., to carry out their robberies. The western countries have been using this model for the past 500 years during which they have stolen the equivalent of thousands of trillions of dollars worth of wealth from the non-western countries. In the process, they impoverished all the non-western countries and murdered over one billion people in the non-western countries.

If only America’s politicians can watch and understand Zhang Weiwei.
Great video! Very helpful, saying things people need to hear.

Action is better than promises. China did not wait for prosperity, but created the prosperity it wanted.
@Timy1992 exactly

Generally, a correct description of the difference between Western countries and China.
