@@ForAllLifesAdventures You're thinking that the UK or other western country needs to learn something from China. Are you one of the westerners that goes to China and is paid by the Chinese government to promote Chinese society to the west?
@@rockstove I've been to China a number of times. I even speak some Mandarin though far from fluent. I know a lot of Chinese who moved/fled from China and took out US citizenship. Strangely enough none of the Chinese people know of non Chinese Americans who have moved to China and took out Chinese citizenship. I wonder why that is?
Iain, thanks for showing us around Glasgow. It's been almost 30 years since my last visit. Most westerners, including Australians, have been told (or catfished) since birth that China is a dirty and poor country. It is difficult to convince them how safe and beautiful China is today. They just cannot imagine the scale of things in China and how far that country is ahead of their own.
Yep, people just don’t get it. They refuse to open up their thinking and accept it from people who have actually been there and have no other reason for saying it other than trying to share a reality. Glasgow hasn’t changed much in that 30 years… 😂
🎯 What you say about the UK, goes for the EU, instead of blindly follow People who do not have good intententions for the common peoples. All the West could/should learn from the People's Republic of China. The country that actually takes care of the people. 🇨🇳❤️🇨🇳
To lift 800 millions out of abject poverty was made possible by a govrnment that love its people and practises mutual prosperty. It is hard for a 'democratic' government to do that.
@@georgewong1837 Obviously you know nothing about China. The reason why China has been able to develop so fast in the past 30 years is because of the introduction of the Western capital market system, not the socialism you are talking about here. The reason why China can progress is because they learn from the West. It’s a pity that you can’t even distinguish this.

@@ForAllLifesAdventures China's rapid development in the past was due to learning from the West economically and opening up to the West. But now China is developing in the opposite and wrong direction. Obviously you are learning and worshiping in the wrong direction. I think you need to know more about the real history of China.
Many of these westerners who travelled to China had reported her alarming progress in every aspect. Hope the West take the heed. These are the wake-up calls to the collective West to look closely at what they have done to their own countries and citizens as to what China did to her own in the past 40 years. Then again, nobody can tell the West what to do. Who's got the last laugh?
@ck1416 Can you name a country in the history of humankind that had advanced from poor to what China is today in a short span of 40 years ? From a nobody to the second largest economy in the world. It looks like the first is within the grasp. If not, it's already there. If not alarming, then why the West is so edgy?
@@themindsojourner Kind of, it is more socialist than the US. Scotland is also kind of socialist as well. The Scandinavian countries are also socialist. There isn't anything wrong with socialism. In the US, we have socialism for the rich.
@@themindsojournerGermany is pro-imperialist and anti-socialist. Socialism doesn't mean what you think it means. Socialism is not about welfare programs or stuff that sounds "social". It's also not the absence of free markets that defines Socialism or "same pay and free stuff for everyone". Socialism never was and never claimed to be that. That's just the false definition, a caricature, that imperialist countries invented and spread. And many western leftists unfortunately believe it without studying and digging into the topic. Read Engels short book "Die Entwicklung des Sozialismus von der Utopie zur Wissenschaft" (English version: Socialism: Utopian and Scientific) to learn about scientific Socialism. Then you'll understand why China is indeed in a (very early) stage of Socialism and Germany and the rest of the imperialist countries is not. It's a short book, very easy to understand and digest and easy to adapt to what you can observe today. The world will suddenly make much more sense to you.
@@Ace1000ks19751982Scandinavian countries and the others you mentioned are imperialist and anti-socialist. Socialism is not the same as being able to provide welfare to you citizens because you benefit from imperialism. Socialism has nothing to do with that and never claimed it has. It's a stage before Communism which aims to remove the built-in problem in capitalism called the tendency of the falling rates of profits. Socialism is basically a bug fix to increase performance of capitalism but in the interest of the people as a whole and with the goal to reach a higher mode of production (higher stage of Socialism and eventually, the very distant goal of Communism which is achieved through highest abundance of all goods and highest level of automation). It's also anti-imperialist in it's nature. It has to be, because imperialists have the goal to suppress the development of Socialism. Scandinavian countries are part of the imperialist core and benefit from imperialism, hence they can afford to give their citizens stuff like welfare and affordable healthcare.
@@kremigmitsahne7197 Socialism and Communism are different. Socialist economies tend to be about 50% capitalist and 50% socialist. Communism tends to have economies that are more than 50% socialist. Chinese communism is a bit different, it does allow people to own and operate their own businesses. You have millionaires and billionaires in China. The Chinese model is kind of like the Yugoslavian model, it was a mixed capitalist and socialist system. I am not for a 100% command economy, because it does have its own set of problems. The private sector should be given a share of the economy, because some things the private sector can do better than the public sector. The central government can't manage the entire economy, it is too difficult. The most important aspects of the economy should be under government control, like energy, public infrastructure, medical industry, and defense industry. The less important aspect of the economy can be left to the private sector, like operating retail businesses, restaurants, food production, food processing, production of consumer goods, and the distribution of consumer goods.
The Chinese are community minded and prefer common progression over just an individual. Western culture encourages individualism. Just look at the Chinese having dinner together, everything is shared. The west on the other hand are served individually.
In China government has a duty to take care of its people. Kinda of like a parent figure, how can you talk bad and down on the government. Western politics is very disrespectful.
Well said. The people should not be fighting against the people. We should all stand united and fight the corrupt government that is squandering all our hard earned tax monies. Nothing to show for it either.
Enjoyed seeing Glasgow and Edinburgh again but sad to see the decline in our society in the UK and the fact they are so unaware of the reality of life in China. Yes you are being very fair in what you say. Always loved the Glasgow humor and the atmosphere at the Edinburgh Festival. Nice one Iain.
Hiya - very thought provoking video. I've also pondered this, and have come to the conclusion that the problem is the Western democratic system. Think about it. There are some 500 or so MPs in Westminster. How many of them really give a toss about their constituents, much less society on a whole? How many of them are actually grifters? Even if you were optimistic and thought that "bad intentioned people" were at a minimum, think how they win their places in Parliament? Nobody NOBODY in society has enough time to keep up to date with all the issues - because they're too busy with life. So what happens? The way the MSM is structured - controversy sells papers - means that the politicians who shout the loudest or say the worst things get air time. And it's a lot easier to get attention for saying absolute shite than talking about anything good. To compound this horrible situation, once they're in Parliament, there's hardly any way for a citizen to keep track of how their MPs vote. So what sort of people does this system attract (to stand)? Someone who's tw#tish enough to LIE to get elected, and once elected, willing to sell his or her vote to the corporations.
I think there could be a better way… using technology to give democratically elected officials a merit based review on a continuous basis. If they were really serious about democracy then they would be serious about modernising the process and how to maintain it to meet the desires of the many!! But they won’t… because this model suits them.
Exactly… I often try and think about my own ideology and box it into one of the ‘isms’… but I feel I am more a humanist as come to the conclusion that it is more of a chocolate box mix of what works/doesn’t work and then amending around that. If that makes sense…
People in the West talk about the good old days, referring to the 50’s to the 70’s but fail to mention the taxation that paid for the ‘good’ in these days
Glasgow is so beautiful, please don't spoil it. Make it a tourists attraction, to keep the engine of the economy running, and everyone has a job to do.
"No mass immigration legal or illegal to China. Therefore no racial tension with foreigners." - the British people have been betrayed by successive governments - whether it is Labour or Conservative. Mass immigration has been a disaster for Britain - and is a major part in our decline and it is only going to get a lot worse. China does not have this problem.
Yeah, fair point. Every developed country needs immigration but the ‘mass’ unchecked immigration has been a shock to the system as it has been so fast in installing and there has been no infrastructure or social alignment hence the conflicts. The ‘small boats’ theory is a distraction as the governments have allowed immigration in the thousands in through other routes without any clear strategy… however on the other hand, much of what we see is from what has been sown by destabilising other countries through various means. Maybe a lesson in that! China will have immigration because they can only automate so much through robots (incredible technology breakthroughs coming) and they will need to support the population as the wealth is distributed more evenly through social programs and the more poverty is alleviated. Also note that China is already a collection of many different groups and they live peacefully despite many attempts by nefarious groups to destabilise that…. Which does prove a point, there is another way.

Beautiful and Inspiring video to watch. China went through nearly two hundred years of humiliation and went through atrocities of all kind. Thus the awakening and tremendous effort started to save and reform China began one hundred years ago. We went through horrible invasions by 8 western countries and japan including Britain in 1900 and then the Crazy Japanese invasion which led to 40 millions casualties. And then the civil war and Korean War which Chinese armies used machine gun to fight against the almighty US led alliance with air bombers and tanks . The odd to win for China was twenty to one against the Allie. Then it went through all kind of political movement and experimentation to reform and develop. The achievement of modern China was so great but the cost and effort behind should be understood . The amount of determination both for the people and government should be looked at . Is western worker willing to work six days a week 12 hours a day ? Nothing is free in this world .. Chinese paid heavy prices for the development from a rock bottom state hundred years ago .. UK used to dominate the whole world . So after Uk lost the colonies it began her decline .. They lost the industrial power too over time which is real wealth generators. So could Scotland and UK learn from China ? I think first they have to understand how hard Chinese build up their countries . Chinese has no problem with foreigners of all kind . Chinese adore ( look up to ) foreigners. It is weird .. Could British people appreciate foreigners and other cultures? Many so called immigrants are actually descendants from the great British empire They are actually coming home .. I used to study in the UK many decades ago . Just found that those towns I used to stay are the most dangerous area .. really shocked ..
I have studied in UK, Australia and New Zealand and love the people and culture and scenery. English is not a problem for me as I was English educated when the place of birth Sarawak was under the British rule at the time then joined Malaysia. I still missed the British rule in the nineteen sixties. Hope Britain will regain its former glory when the sun never set on Britain. I love the British, Australian and New Zealander and the English language. Hope Britain will to the occasion to its former glory under the British monarch.🎉
I agree with how you position your statement and fully appreciate the struggle China as had to endure to get to where modern china is now… that is a very impressive place in such a short period of time since the ‘opening up’ - I see China developing and doing it while bringing along others and with no desire to do so with conflict. It is impressive so far and I hope to see it continue.
It's good to see you back home, Iain. I am sure it's great to see your family. These are interesting but difficult discussions. I have some friends and a former colleague in England and none of them have ever told me that England and Scotland are separate countries, unless I guess they are in a soccer (you call football) game. I have a quote from Maurice Maeterlinck: "At every crossroad on the path that leads to the future tradition has placed ten thousand men to guard the past." And he was from 19th century. Sometimes time stands still. Doesn't it? I have fond memory of Edinburgh and am yet to visit Glasgow.😊
Hi Iain. Welcome ‘home!’ …. You do make some interesting points, and of course your opinions and perspectives are valid and based on your actual experiences and are therefore worthy of respect. I’m super pleased you enjoyed a wonderful day of cultural diversity and enrichment (and I mean that in the truest sense - and not snarky sarcasm) at the world renowned international annual cultural festival event known as “The Edinburgh Festival“ held here in Brexit Britain 2024. Have a great holiday! ( I’m assuming you’re here for a holiday/vacation as this is the first time any of your vids have appeared in my stream for a while.) I Hope you’re doing well.
Thanks Stephen, I enjoyed Edinburgh’s very much and it was a trip home to see family. I am always searching and looking for more insight and learning and I am able to shift my perspectives when I see logic and experience things for real. Brexit Britain will always be a mistake for me and it is something that reflects the ability of politicians and the like to massage opinions and walk something through to fruition and then stroll away without any consequences… something I feel we should be building to our political class. I am glad you are seeing my videos again, I think I may have had a shadow ban - never sure what that is, but people had said to me that they were not seeing my content and being unsubscribed. In reality, there is nothing much anyone can do when social media companies decide to do that, because after all, that the price of ‘freedom’ 😉
@@ForAllLifesAdventures I’m very glad we can have such cordial and reasonably detailed discussions despite not being on the same page as each other about some matters yet in agreement on some of the more fundamental truths (eg regarding the fundamental nature of the human condition) - in which we are pretty much eye to eye. Cheers bro 👊 😎
now is the time to get rid of the feeling of superiority, we fellow earth creatures must help each other, learn from each other to improve our standard of living in the future for the sake of the next generation.... to become one big family, the earth belongs together.....
That's a good perspective on life in the UK. Too many people unwilling to think differently about what life could be like given good governance. The media and self-interest of politicians and their rich paymasters don't want to change the status quo.
Hope the west can realize that the bri initiative is helping them to solve their problems they've created for themselves, including the refugees. If the west Asia, Africa become stable and their industry and economy begins thrive, guess where the refugees want to go?
The KEY to low refugee numbers is to enable the country of origin of those refugees be developed, stabilised, wealthy and happy. Nobody will want to be a refugee when they are being well fed, got work and being happy.
This is thinking that many people don’t see… stop bombing and debasing other countries, help them develop and people will remain there. People do not want to pack up all their family/belongings and leave their homes, often, they have too… because survival is a basic human instinct that is so strong that it makes people do the incredible.
@@ForAllLifesAdventuresYes !now, there is dominance of super rich and meddled politics/politician; at one point of time, strong government should previal and should do in favor of majority!
Politicans in the UK only care about how tourist places look, the rest can go to hell as far as they are concerned. All they care about is how their pockets are lined and their immediate surroundings. Japan/China are 2 countries which have pride right now, their communities are extremely well kept. Considering Japan has earthquakes and what not, its staggering there are no cracks in the pavements and everything looks nice, including gardens and parks. Then of course you have the society living in such places, which also have a high standard of upkeep. No point point poison in an oasis, eventually it will be destroyed.
Good insight and I also appreciate living standards in Japan, despite always being told it is horrendous by the MSM… always seems to be at odds to what I seen when I was there.
To be honest, I think china and west should learn from each other. As a student from china, we need more space to freely express our idea to the society instead of living in a high pressure safety.
Honestly.... that is what you say, you are that naive and ignorant... WOW, wow. I admire you. Well done you. You must be proud of yourself. Take a bow...
Kennedy told the educated kids to ask themselves what they can do for the country. In “Enemy at the gate” - give them (mostly uneducated drafts) hope, comrade Khrushchev.
There is always hope, never give up! When resources are limited, consider investing in citizens instead of foreign wars, a better return. UK is ready for changes bc the people have spoken, the ONLY thing MIA is a worthy leader that can unite the people and serve the people. Someone like Lee K. Y., the founding father of Singapore! Good luck and may the force be with you!
Experiment with signs before a roundabout 5-10 signs before entering and experiment with 1 sign before a roundabout people cooperate much better without many signs and show patient to others so point is people goes along with each other without to many rules from the authority.

When China implements a whole-process democracy system, they will bow down, as long as the right investment and development direction, it is innovation and sustainable development
I see the same kind of malaise, even desperation, here in the Silicon Valley, which has some of the richest cities in the US. Life is great for the upper-middle class and the rich, but the rest of the people struggle from paycheck to paycheck with ever increasing debt loads. Sadder still is the realization things will get worse before they get better. ?"So, can US, UK, and rest of the developed world "learn from China?" Before you could answer that, you first have to ask two fundamental questions: 1) why is China the only great power in human history able to rise to new heights each and every time a previous state/dynasty fall from grace? 2) Can other great powers copy-adopt-innovate Phoenix-like ability of the "Middle Kingdom" for their own recovery to prominence? So far, I only see Russia tinkering its culture/society to recover from the fall of the Soviet Union, but its success is TBD.
The question is, what delusional belief do you have even due to M.A.D. that you won't get the most apocalyptic case of Thucydide's trap in the history of all mankind?
1) Experience. "Been there, done that"? . 2) To "Learn".... "We" as separate populations of each country THEN as a collective (or maybe not?) meet to acknowledge the problem. . Don't hold your breath.
Wars… simply put, wars, seen as profitable by the west. Despite the damage it does to their own population, but now they fight proxies and take the profit from other nations deaths… immoral on so many levels.
@@ForAllLifesAdventures - but most leaders and elites aren't stupid, so it's not clear how profit can flow unabated if one's society is collapsing from excessive debt and internal chaos. Bread and circuses only worked for Roman leaders until they ran out of other people's money, and then things went south in a hurry. I see lots of parallels today in a lot of Western countries and if I could see it, so can Western elites. What's not clear to me is if they have a realistic and workable plan to avoid social and economic collapse.
Only one issue - China is definitely not a developing country - we are more developed than probably any country in the world ( giving allowance to the size of the country ). Other than that, good man !!!
@@greendragonspirit1646 If you define the term "developing" as transition from "poor" to "rich", then China is not a "Developing" country. Of course they can be "rich" or (if you prefer) "first world", but still "refining" that position. As for Britain..... We missed an opportunity to be "Great" in 21st Century terms. It's not looking good. . MAYBE we could hitch a ride with China? (Seriously)
it is and it isn't at the same time. That because China is so big, it's forever developing even if it had already surpassed the west the country in every aspect of development, the fact that the government leaves nobody behind and will continue to help those who are still in need. We are talking about those who live in remote and rural areas who are no longer impoverish but can still improve their living standards further.
Fair opion and beautful scenery, being a frequent traveler to China, England, Wales & Scotland , i agree with you and i guess the main reason for the decline is the adoption of the "Neo-Liberal order" by the united states in the late seventies when Mrs. thatcher's governmet followed suit.
I agree… I think Thatchers ‘individualism’ was a key starting point that destroyed communities. The Neoliberalism is a destructive agenda with only a few beneficiaries and Liberalism in general fails to give a compete context of what humans can do to each other without any consensus of control. 👍🏼

Evidence abounds. It is essential to travel to China for a few months and see for yourself the political and economic sovereignty which China enjoys but which is lacking in the UK and the rest of the US - led NATO military alliances in Europe. The political system ; so - called democracy is in practice an oligarchy and plutocracy. Elections are money warfare for a change of political leaders and party with no change of those policies, even if they are wrong because they benefit the elites. It's no exaggeration to say that the greatest winners of Western style of elections are the political donors and ruling classes. In reality, there's no democracy and freedom in the British constitution . For example, the UK has the House of Lords where members could be catapulted in senior cabinet ministers within 24 hours with the approval of the British Monarchy. This explains why Lord David Cameron became the Foreign Minister within 24 hours after he was conferred the title "Lord." Also, the House of Lords membership can be for life, by birth or appointment by the Monarch. This is not democracy and freedom . Do associate one word , that is " Communism " with all things negatives and blinds us to the fact that it's undemocratic to label non Western style of political system as dictatorship or authoritarian.
"Democracy" is a VERY loose description of what we have in "The US and Europe" at the moment... Do we have "rule by the people"? (Democracy) Or "All are Equal, but some are more Equal than others"? (Ref George Orwell, regarding "Communism") . I would describe the Chinese system as understanding the difference between"enough"and "more". . That alone relieves pressure on the individual.
There are indeed a lot China can also learn from England and Scotland! One would wish the West stop demonize a country that is trying to renew herself and earn respect from others while the West already owns public opinion forming media and political system that is very powerful and hurtful. Once again thank you, Ian, for showing beautiful Scotland through your unique lenses

My Son has been a couple of times and he plans to come over next summer, he is studying in University now (incidentally, he gets free university education in Scotland, one of the few countries that provide that - I always feel that is very reflective of a nation that values education)
I admire and love China much. Unfortunately there are major problems in the west that really need to be fixed. Scotland looks beautiful. Scots want to fix their country, it's the politicians and government who work against the people and get in the way.
Agree. I'm from eastern Europe, living in UK (firstly England, now Scotland) and I was always looking in the west. Now, I am really fascinated with eastern Asia. I think I could say eastern Europe is (literally) in the middle - experiencing quite fast development, safe environment and also western style of governing. But I only started seeing this after I moved out 😉. Travelling really opens minds and stretches perspectives. I also see the difference between living conditions in England and Scotland and I can second what's being said in the video.
For me freedom encourages citizens to hold their governments accountable through open media and freedom to support their political interest. So I cannot agree with your opinion.
Because you know….. and then, you don’t know, because you clearly have no understanding of China. So I can not agree with you, but perhaps I might offer some further advice. Read beyond the headlines numb nuts.
Sorry, but the race riots are NOT the same as catholic, prodestant nonsense. We have a totally diff take on immigration which the english riots are about.
The UK is, in theory anyway, a political alliance of four countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In reality it’s England and three occupied territories, but whether you believe the lies or the reality, it’s still four separate nation states, with their own distinct identities and histories.

Are you one of the westerners that goes to China and is paid by the Chinese government to promote Chinese society to the west?

@@rockstove I've been to China a number of times. I even speak some Mandarin though far from fluent. I know a lot of Chinese who moved/fled from China and took out US citizenship. Strangely enough none of the Chinese people know of non Chinese Americans who have moved to China and took out Chinese citizenship. I wonder why that is?
Iain, thanks for showing us around Glasgow. It's been almost 30 years since my last visit. Most westerners, including Australians, have been told (or catfished) since birth that China is a dirty and poor country. It is difficult to convince them how safe and beautiful China is today. They just cannot imagine the scale of things in China and how far that country is ahead of their own.
China is much more than just clean and safe. Much much more.....

To lift 800 millions out of abject poverty was made possible by a govrnment that love its people and practises mutual prosperty. It is hard for a 'democratic' government to do that.
That’s the difference… taking care of the many rather than idolising the few.

But now China is developing in the opposite and wrong direction. Obviously you are learning and worshiping in the wrong direction. I think you need to know more about the real history of China.
Many of these westerners who travelled to China had reported her alarming progress in every aspect. Hope the West take the heed. These are the wake-up calls to the collective West to look closely at what they have done to their own countries and citizens as to what China did to her own in the past 40 years. Then again, nobody can tell the West what to do. Who's got the last laugh?
why describe progress in China as 'alarming'? Such choice of words shows the mentality us against them
@ck1416 Can you name a country in the history of humankind that had advanced from poor to what China is today in a short span of 40 years ? From a nobody to the second largest economy in the world. It looks like the first is within the grasp. If not, it's already there. If not alarming, then why the West is so edgy?

People criticize socialism, but I think socialism can work. The biggest example is in China.
German is kind of socialist country
@@themindsojourner Kind of, it is more socialist than the US. Scotland is also kind of socialist as well. The Scandinavian countries are also socialist.
There isn't anything wrong with socialism. In the US, we have socialism for the rich.
@@themindsojournerGermany is pro-imperialist and anti-socialist. Socialism doesn't mean what you think it means. Socialism is not about welfare programs or stuff that sounds "social". It's also not the absence of free markets that defines Socialism or "same pay and free stuff for everyone". Socialism never was and never claimed to be that. That's just the false definition, a caricature, that imperialist countries invented and spread. And many western leftists unfortunately believe it without studying and digging into the topic. Read Engels short book "Die Entwicklung des Sozialismus von der Utopie zur Wissenschaft" (English version: Socialism: Utopian and Scientific) to learn about scientific Socialism. Then you'll understand why China is indeed in a (very early) stage of Socialism and Germany and the rest of the imperialist countries is not. It's a short book, very easy to understand and digest and easy to adapt to what you can observe today. The world will suddenly make much more sense to you.
@@Ace1000ks19751982Scandinavian countries and the others you mentioned are imperialist and anti-socialist. Socialism is not the same as being able to provide welfare to you citizens because you benefit from imperialism. Socialism has nothing to do with that and never claimed it has. It's a stage before Communism which aims to remove the built-in problem in capitalism called the tendency of the falling rates of profits. Socialism is basically a bug fix to increase performance of capitalism but in the interest of the people as a whole and with the goal to reach a higher mode of production (higher stage of Socialism and eventually, the very distant goal of Communism which is achieved through highest abundance of all goods and highest level of automation). It's also anti-imperialist in it's nature. It has to be, because imperialists have the goal to suppress the development of Socialism. Scandinavian countries are part of the imperialist core and benefit from imperialism, hence they can afford to give their citizens stuff like welfare and affordable healthcare.
@@kremigmitsahne7197 Socialism and Communism are different. Socialist economies tend to be about 50% capitalist and 50% socialist. Communism tends to have economies that are more than 50% socialist.
Chinese communism is a bit different, it does allow people to own and operate their own businesses. You have millionaires and billionaires in China. The Chinese model is kind of like the Yugoslavian model, it was a mixed capitalist and socialist system. I am not for a 100% command economy, because it does have its own set of problems. The private sector should be given a share of the economy, because some things the private sector can do better than the public sector. The central government can't manage the entire economy, it is too difficult. The most important aspects of the economy should be under government control, like energy, public infrastructure, medical industry, and defense industry.
The less important aspect of the economy can be left to the private sector, like operating retail businesses, restaurants, food production, food processing, production of consumer goods, and the distribution of consumer goods.
I'm getting a REAL "Itch" to visit China unlike any I've had since visiting CUBA in 1998 (And THAT was one of the best decisions I've made)

Hiya - very thought provoking video. I've also pondered this, and have come to the conclusion that the problem is the Western democratic system.
Think about it. There are some 500 or so MPs in Westminster. How many of them really give a toss about their constituents, much less society on a whole?
How many of them are actually grifters?
Even if you were optimistic and thought that "bad intentioned people" were at a minimum, think how they win their places in Parliament?
Nobody NOBODY in society has enough time to keep up to date with all the issues - because they're too busy with life.
So what happens? The way the MSM is structured - controversy sells papers - means that the politicians who shout the loudest or say the worst things get air time. And it's a lot easier to get attention for saying absolute shite than talking about anything good.
To compound this horrible situation, once they're in Parliament, there's hardly any way for a citizen to keep track of how their MPs vote.
So what sort of people does this system attract (to stand)? Someone who's tw#tish enough to LIE to get elected, and once elected, willing to sell his or her vote to the corporations.
I think there could be a better way… using technology to give democratically elected officials a merit based review on a continuous basis. If they were really serious about democracy then they would be serious about modernising the process and how to maintain it to meet the desires of the many!! But they won’t… because this model suits them.
I loved your contribution and it reflects how much you have thought about this. Thank you for the comment, it was a topper.
Great video, Iain 👍🏻👍🏻❤

The truth is, it's more about governing and accountability than just ideology.
Exactly… I often try and think about my own ideology and box it into one of the ‘isms’… but I feel I am more a humanist as come to the conclusion that it is more of a chocolate box mix of what works/doesn’t work and then amending around that. If that makes sense…

相信你在中国居住了一段时间，视频也附上了中文；所以我用中文来表达我的观点，相信你能看懂；
资本主义诞生于欧洲，特别是英国；从人类历史的进程来看，欧洲或者英国的人们更应该能深刻理解资本主义社会 的弊病；而现实的结果是欧美国家很容易被政客所欺骗，竟然没多少人去质疑资本主义私有制社会会给一个国家及大多数民众带来什么样的后果；
在私有制的社会里，税收是一种再分配的解决方案，可以延缓贫富极化的到来；但在上世纪八十年代，里根-撒切尔的新自由主义经济理论，使得资本主义的灭亡走上了快车道；新自由主义经济理论两个比较明显的理论就是“涓滴效益”及“减税带动投资”，而这正是欺骗民众的谎言；“涓滴效应”需要上层为下层做出奉献，这样下层民众才能在社会经济活动中得到更多的好处；而回顾八十年代开始的减税现象以来，洽洽是欧美国家财富快速向少数人集中的一个过程；一个国家缺少了税收如何维持基本的开支呢？相信大多数人都知道在上世纪二战前后（罗斯福新政时期）美国的税率有多高，那才是欧美国家的黄金朝代；
中国有在毛泽东时代打下的公有制基础，虽然在邓小平上台后私有化了很多，但公有制的思想一直都存在；中国现存的为数不多的公有制企业的好处是避免社会财富快速向少数人集中，更为国家财政带来巨大的收入；而且公有制企业所创造的财富属于全体国民，虽然公有制企业有不少的腐败行为，但相比私有化更有利多数民众，这些企业除了上交税收外，更要上交大部分利润给国家；这就是中国在与欧美国家竞争中占有的制度优势（这些国有企业一年上交的利润有近上万亿美元）；再就是中国土地的国有化、集体化，这使得中国在发展中遇到较的土地障碍，而将国有土地与集体土地租赁出去，又可以快速获得发展基础设施所需要的资金；
人类历史的私有制社会经历了奴隶制、封建制到资本主义；可以说资本主义是私有制的巅峰状态，也是私有制要走向灭亡的开始；
Great summary
People in the West talk about the good old days, referring to the 50’s to the 70’s but fail to mention the taxation that paid for the ‘good’ in these days

"No mass immigration legal or illegal to China. Therefore no racial tension with foreigners." - the British people have been betrayed by successive governments - whether it is Labour or Conservative. Mass immigration has been a disaster for Britain - and is a major part in our decline and it is only going to get a lot worse.
China does not have this problem.
Yeah, fair point. Every developed country needs immigration but the ‘mass’ unchecked immigration has been a shock to the system as it has been so fast in installing and there has been no infrastructure or social alignment hence the conflicts.
The ‘small boats’ theory is a distraction as the governments have allowed immigration in the thousands in through other routes without any clear strategy… however on the other hand, much of what we see is from what has been sown by destabilising other countries through various means.
Maybe a lesson in that!
China will have immigration because they can only automate so much through robots (incredible technology breakthroughs coming) and they will need to support the population as the wealth is distributed more evenly through social programs and the more poverty is alleviated. Also note that China is already a collection of many different groups and they live peacefully despite many attempts by nefarious groups to destabilise that…. Which does prove a point, there is another way.

Beautiful and Inspiring video to watch.
China went through nearly two hundred years of humiliation and went through atrocities of all kind. Thus the awakening and tremendous effort started to save and reform China began one hundred years ago.
We went through horrible invasions by 8 western countries and japan including Britain in 1900 and then the Crazy Japanese invasion which led to 40 millions casualties.
And then the civil war and Korean War which Chinese armies used machine gun to fight against the almighty US led alliance with air bombers and tanks .
The odd to win for China was twenty to one against the Allie.
Then it went through all kind of political movement and experimentation to reform and develop.
The achievement of modern China was so great but the cost and effort behind should be understood . The amount of determination both for the people and government should be looked at .
Is western worker willing to work six days a week 12 hours a day ?
Nothing is free in this world .. Chinese paid heavy prices for the development from a rock bottom state hundred years ago ..
UK used to dominate the whole world .
So after Uk lost the colonies it began her decline ..
They lost the industrial power too over time which is real wealth generators.
So could Scotland and UK learn from China ? I think first they have to understand how hard Chinese build up their countries .
Chinese has no problem with foreigners of all kind . Chinese adore ( look up to ) foreigners. It is weird ..
Could British people appreciate foreigners and other cultures?
Many so called immigrants are actually descendants from the great British empire
They are actually coming home ..
I used to study in the UK many decades ago .
Just found that those towns I used to stay are the most dangerous area .. really shocked ..
I have studied in UK, Australia and New Zealand and love the people and culture and scenery. English is not a problem for me as I was English educated when the place of birth Sarawak was under the British rule at the time then joined Malaysia. I still missed the British rule in the nineteen sixties. Hope Britain will regain its former glory when the sun never set on Britain. I love the British, Australian and New Zealander and the English language. Hope Britain will to the occasion to its former glory under the British monarch.🎉
I agree with how you position your statement and fully appreciate the struggle China as had to endure to get to where modern china is now… that is a very impressive place in such a short period of time since the ‘opening up’ - I see China developing and doing it while bringing along others and with no desire to do so with conflict. It is impressive so far and I hope to see it continue.

Probably in one of the countries that will see the former "3rd world" elevating to higher wealth.
The KEY to low refugee numbers is to enable the country of origin of those refugees be developed, stabilised, wealthy and happy. Nobody will want to be a refugee when they are being well fed, got work and being happy.
This is thinking that many people don’t see… stop bombing and debasing other countries, help them develop and people will remain there. People do not want to pack up all their family/belongings and leave their homes, often, they have too… because survival is a basic human instinct that is so strong that it makes people do the incredible.

Politicans in the UK only care about how tourist places look, the rest can go to hell as far as they are concerned.

Then of course you have the society living in such places, which also have a high standard of upkeep. No point point poison in an oasis, eventually it will be destroyed.

Sadder still is the realization things will get worse before they get better. ?"So, can US, UK, and rest of the developed world "learn from China?" Before you could answer that, you first have to ask two fundamental questions: 1) why is China the only great power in human history able to rise to new heights each and every time a previous state/dynasty fall from grace? 2) Can other great powers copy-adopt-innovate Phoenix-like ability of the "Middle Kingdom" for their own recovery to prominence? So far, I only see Russia tinkering its culture/society to recover from the fall of the Soviet Union, but its success is TBD.
The question is, what delusional belief do you have even due to M.A.D. that you won't get the most apocalyptic case of Thucydide's trap in the history of all mankind?

Sorry ,but England have eaten the breads of their Sad tomorrow, a long tine ago ,the worst is wet to Come ,a,so the bible say.,what u soil u will reap
You're acting like it'll be a sweet tomorrow for china. Dude you keep forgetting how the US is. What's a world without the US being number one if you catch my drift 😁

Hmmmm.
A world without USA being under one....
When WERE they number one?
@@TacticalMayo
I get the impression you think USA is going to use "The Big Stick" (look it up) to .... Subdue" China?
.
That would be "Messy" and a HUGE mistake.
They have 4 times the population, a BIGGER "stick" and probably more global support than you realise.
The Bible "says" a lot of things, most of which can be counted by other "things" in the same book and all open to broad interpretation. (which I think was the whole idea...?)

He has been a couple of times… he loves it here but studying in Scotland at the moment 👍🏼 he is also open minded and a critical thinker and will find his way through the 💩
😅so china's semi commy government is way btr than democrazy of the US n EU
Evidence abounds. It is essential to travel to China for a few months and see for yourself the political and economic sovereignty which China enjoys but which is lacking in the UK and the rest of the US - led NATO military alliances in Europe. The political system ; so - called democracy is in practice an oligarchy and plutocracy. Elections are money warfare for a change of political leaders and party with no change of those policies, even if they are wrong because they benefit the elites. It's no exaggeration to say that the greatest winners of Western style of elections are the political donors and ruling classes. In reality, there's no democracy and freedom in the British constitution . For example, the UK has the House of Lords where members could be catapulted in senior cabinet ministers within 24 hours with the approval of the British Monarchy. This explains why Lord David Cameron became the Foreign Minister within 24 hours after he was conferred the title "Lord." Also, the House of Lords membership can be for life, by birth or appointment by the Monarch. This is not democracy and freedom . Do associate one word , that is " Communism " with all things negatives and blinds us to the fact that it's undemocratic to label non Western style of political system as dictatorship or authoritarian.
"Democracy" is a VERY loose description of what we have in "The US and Europe" at the moment...
Do we have "rule by the people"? (Democracy)
Or
"All are Equal, but some are more Equal than others"? (Ref George Orwell, regarding "Communism")
.
I would describe the Chinese system as understanding the difference between"enough"and "more".
.
That alone relieves pressure on the individual.
Some scholars calling it smart authorithism
@@rogerstarkey5390 democrazy
at least China is honest calling themself communist as compared to democratic countries with no freedom of speech😂
There are indeed a lot China can also learn from England and Scotland! One would wish the West stop demonize a country that is trying to renew herself and earn respect from others while the West already owns public opinion forming media and political system that is very powerful and hurtful. Once again thank you, Ian, for showing beautiful Scotland through your unique lenses
I agree, China can learn from others and I think that is the key to a more settled world. Learning, understanding and seeing where the deadly I influences actually come from… 😬

I admire and love China much. Unfortunately there are major problems in the west that really need to be fixed. Scotland looks beautiful. Scots want to fix their country, it's the politicians and government who work against the people and get in the way.
Yep, Scotland would be so much more if independent 👍🏼
sometimes i wonder why is it so hard for western people to accept that there are so many countries in Asia better than the UK and US
Yep, I agree. I think it is because the media, movies, TV etc paints that image well and people have no alternative exposure.
Agree. I'm from eastern Europe, living in UK (firstly England, now Scotland) and I was always looking in the west. Now, I am really fascinated with eastern Asia. I think I could say eastern Europe is (literally) in the middle - experiencing quite fast development, safe environment and also western style of governing. But I only started seeing this after I moved out 😉. Travelling really opens minds and stretches perspectives. I also see the difference between living conditions in England and Scotland and I can second what's being said in the video.

转载：为什么现在越来越多年轻人崇毛而非邓，说明一下，要了解一件史事，是不是要做到以下几点：
1.对历史的多方面深入了解，不是一家之言，兼听则明，偏听则暗。
2.当时的时代背景，国内外政治环境。
3..相关人物的思想，人物生平经历。
4.一个历史事件的发生，当事人发动事件的动机，或者说为了达到什么目的。
5.有无自己亲身询问考证过，经历那个时代的人的看法？
6.没有调查就没有发言权！ 只有这样才能做到相对公平，不是看几个洗脑抹黑视频，就开始喷，往往大部分人就是这样，所以同样证明了，大部分民众从不独立思考，学习。全民民主在中国永远也都是灾难，看看文革，89，以及现在的台湾社会！是否有所警示？
进入正题，欢迎阅读者进行考证！
1，毛建国之前就不用提了，地狱级难度，一生都是逆风局，遇到的困难比谁都大！战略眼光和军事思想，5000年来第一人，毛指挥的战斗，一生无败仗，朝鲜战争1V17国，让中国摆脱东亚病夫，打遍世界无敌手，让中国人真正站起来了，公认的世界军神！再看看四渡赤水那一战和解放战争三大战役，虽说林总，彭总，粟总也是战神，但是能看出这些元帅们和主席的差距有多大，无毛早就是老蒋的天下了。直至今日依然在吃老人家时代，打下的和平环境和国际战略规划！ 争议部分在建国后时代，毛以身作则，创立了世界上少有的极其清廉的政府，良好的社会风气！再看现在全员贪腐，官官相护，老百姓投诉无门，历史重新进入了轮回。社会的矛盾直至革命的原因，就是不患寡而患不均！ ！
2.邓改革开放没执行好，当然不否认改革开放取得的伟大成就！中苏交恶大背景下，71年基辛格秘密秘密访华，日本访华，就定下了改革开放的策略。改开最早是56年就提过，无赖底子太弱，先发展工业打基础。建国初期的一片废墟，用28年的时间完成了西方200多年才完成的工业化道路，gdp增速平均下来8.08%，毛被称为中国工业现代化之父，现在的那些工业，有哪个不是那时候创立的？再看看现在卡脖子的技术，不就是被邓时代停掉的几个？现在领先的电子信息，激光雷达技术，也是60年代创立的。这里就可以看出眼光的差距！
3.80年代半导体，芯片，大飞机等项目被全部停掉，这些技术60，70年代当时和外国差距半代都不到，可以查资料，为了给老美纳投名状，自断手臂受制于人，眼光不够长远！
4.邓提出造不如买，买不如租，部队经商，后面大使馆被炸，也是间接原因，差点把军队都废掉了，部队能经商吗？开国际玩笑！幸亏后来江及时拉回来了。
5.允许日本人国内建学校，医院，今天看来埋下巨大隐患，以前日本人侵略中国就是这个套路，现在很多岗位已被日本人渗透，毛选里都有特别交代，一定要注意这些，以及65年提出的防止西方的基因战！ ！ ！ ！
6.白猫黑猫理论，看看现在的社会风气，汉奸卖国贼有多少？社会风气完全变了，一个个为了钱，毫无底线，乌烟瘴气！习大大这几年正在改变，今年的高考题目，毛1938年写下的千古第一阳谋神作，论持久战，首次进入高考！这就是信号，变相的鼓励年轻人读毛选，毛选是哲理和实践的经典之作，不仅讲理论，更告诉你方法，更是创业宝典！ ！看看国内受人尊敬的企业，全部是毛选模式。华为，娃哈哈，鸿星尔克，胖东来等
7.邓为什么禁毛选？心里没鬼怕什么？为什么把毛选5禁了？ 6和7更是难找，因为里面有历史的真相！大跃进浮夸风的真相，亩产10万斤，看看始作俑者是谁？毛农民家庭出生，从小种田，他老人家难道不知道一亩田产多少粮食？这么简单的道理！老共敢公布历史吗？公布了周刘邓全部得跌落神坛，毛选5至7只能网上买到当时的旧书。
8.再说个人，毛是中国历史上唯一一个，为了底层人民，追求人人平等，打破几千年以来的封建制度，唯一个喊出人民万岁的领袖，毛一生最大的心愿，解放全天下的受苦人，和内外敌人斗争了一辈子的开国领袖，建国后曾经出生入死的兄弟，一部分变成了新的恶龙，为了打破这个阶级固化腐败，人分三六九等问题，也害怕人民再吃二遍苦，晚年甚至付出了自己的生命和名誉，发动了那场革命，虽说斗争失败了，运动发展的过程中，派系斗争变了形，也确实带来了灾难，但今天来看意义是重大的！ 毛给后人留下了什么？没有一分钱遗产！为了新中国的胜利，牺牲了6位至亲，后代也是普通人。毛住中南海自己付房租，吃中南海的鱼还自己付钱，自己的稿费补贴公用！邓后人万亿家产，自己不正何以正别人？ 8964的初衷也是反贪污，和文革一样只不过后期被人利用了，当时邓的儿子京城第一倒爷！
9.结合今天来看，特别是以一个普通人的角度，文革只是简单的对错吗？当年要打倒的那批人，不就是今天欺负老百姓的这批人吗？权贵官员，官商勾结，汉奸公知和那些所谓的砖家叫兽吗？现在哪个月没有灭门惨案？为什么会这样？有些地方底层百姓已经被欺负的没办法了。见过底层老百姓抹黑污蔑毛吗？没有！ ！ ！哪些人怕毛？贪官污吏及依附于它们的公知二狗子，汉奸，和所谓的砖家叫兽！
10.毛一直提倡人民民主专政制度，人民有游行，抗议，自由言论的权利，政府不作为的话，鼓励人民造反。公开发行的毛选第4册，这个章节也被邓删除，人民监督政府，人民言论自由，人民聚会抗议的权利，全部被剥夺！ 最后用现在年轻人的话总结：经过了40多年的改革开放，留下邓是毛最大的智慧，邓最大的证明，就是伟人始终都是正确的。特别是结合今天的社会问题来看，后人现在终于明白了，老人家不是老糊涂，只是眼光太长远，时间证明了一切！ 现在年轻人结不起婚，买不起房，一个个躺平了，要么就是无底线的挣钱！为什么？资源被内外买办，权贵垄断，官官相护，伟人的担忧今天全部验证！文革就是一次演习，按现在的趋势，文革估计早晚都会再次发生，估计下次就不会给他们，再次翻案的机会了！免得屎盆子都扣一个人头上，毛过错是有，但要结合当时的内外国际环境来和国内政治现状来看，过错算一个人身上是否有失公平？ ？ ？ 为什么现在90后，00后，很多视毛为偶像？看看现在淘宝销量第一的书籍是毛选，大学图书馆借书的前三名也是毛选，年轻人为主的B站，上面最火的视频是伟人的视频，可以去看看12.26号的韶山，几十万年轻人和经过那个时代的老人，去给伟人庆生，现场高喊要真社会主义，不要假社会主义！老人家早已看透了世界发展规律，他的思想就是留给后人的答案，时间越久越能证明毛的伟大！真理越辩越明！现在的年轻人正在觉醒，正在学习他，成为他，超越他！这才是国家的希望！怀念我们心中伟大的红太阳，致敬永远的教员！
总结：切记也不要搞个人崇拜，不要神话他，这是教员一直反对的，要的是学习他的思想，他的奋斗精神！他走了，我们就是他，更好的建设这个国家！ ！
注：文中所提到的教员就是毛泽东；

The UK is, in theory anyway, a political alliance of four countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

@@James.979 This was in the other entry of your question, which appeared 3 times. I don't normally answer questions when demanded because I get a lot of challenges from haters and the usual, but you asked in a decent way.
-----------------------------------
Hi James,
Some of my early videos covered that.
The story is that I had a messy divorce and lost everything, including decent access to my kids. The law works against fathers. I got a short-term contract to work in China. I loved it. I went back to the U.K. for a year. I got a chance to come back a year later and did that with the backing of my family and kids. If I didn’t, my mental health and thoughts would have got the better of me. I work in retail, and I have a decent job. I have worked in retail most of my life and have a proven track record at managerial levels, so I was able to bring that experience here.
I live in a very small apartment in a good area of Beijing with Lisa, who is amazing.
I appreciate that you are a fellow Glaswegian and so you will also appreciate me and the fact that I accept no one’s money and my opinion is formed by my own research, reading and life experiences.
It is not propaganda, certainly not professional 😂 .I am trying to work things out as much as inform. Glaswegians have a tendency to suffer nae bullshit… I am in that camp.
I don’t know if you were taking a shot at me, but it doesn’t sound like it. I am happy to catch up face-to-face at any time in Glasgow or if you get out to Beijing/China.
My ultimate drive is about experiences in life. Still, at the core, I want to drip a very small drop into people thinking differently about being dragged into a hate-filled conflict that will spill over into taking the lives of my, your, and others' children…. Because some rich guy decided so.
My email details are in the video description. Reach out for more detail. 👍🏼
