China is Modernizing not to Westernize 071724 · Talk to Prince Show - Solving World's Problems

Mhm. We we should always remember that when it comes to China and the
0:06
West, always remember that that the Chinese economy, the economy we modernize,
0:17
but it's not going to westernize. That's going to be the friction, the
0:23
friction between modernization and westernization. And with the westernization modern type of economy,
0:36
there will be more with the with the westernization type of economy. It's it
0:43
wants China to to to to play by the rules, you know, the
0:50
rule based order and the rule based order standing from the Britain Wood institutions.
0:55
And then you know, after the Second War and you know the creature of
1:03
the war band that I have United nations and this rule based order. It's
1:10
an order that it's led by America, particularly in the West. So the
1:14
intent was for China to industrialize and modernize by industrialization and modernization. So the
1:23
next step was supposed to be democratization, so industrialized, westernize and become democratized.
1:38
But the Chinese model is not that. So that's the conflict. The
1:44
conflict of the risk in the coupling of a capacity is based on that understanding
1:51
and the reality that the Chinese are opening up to modernize, to gluebalize and
2:02
multiple realizes. That's multiplarization. So it was factory based, two industrial based,
2:15
two digital now on AI base gradually to compute the quantum computer based of
2:24
fusion technology based. But once that is achieved, China modernized to globalize,
2:36
digitalized, and two to not follow the ways of the West, but on
2:47
the contrary and follow multiplarization. So that's that's that's a dividing line. Every
2:58
Chinese economy from the factory base to the industrial base was the modern was the
3:05
modernized like Japan and South Korea and westernize, then there will be no issue.
3:15
There will be no decoupling, there will be no the riskin or unknown
3:22
over capacity, there will be no fear of sumptions and conflict of competition that
3:31
made potentiality a war. The concept is that we did not see it coming
3:39
and we do not plan for this properly. And maybe the impression that was
3:45
given to us by the Chinese within within understanding that the body language or the
3:51
cultural differenses, our hope was that China was supposed to be democratized, and
4:00
just that we did not read Chinese history that they've never done that and they
4:05
will not do that, and equally that we don't understand the Chinese population.
4:15
Democracy works well of a manageable population. That's where I see the Indian economy
4:20
is struggling. Indian has the capacity to grow. But democracy is such a
4:27
big system, is such a big country. Yeah, it must come with
4:32
economics and some sort of nationalism or national identity can be rally behind a religion,
4:42
behind a party, behind some basic construct of economy or capitalism, or
4:50
some cultural identity or religion or you know, traditions. But the country that
4:57
big. So the Chinese, we're afraid that democracy is external and democracy can
5:05
be messy, and it's it's it's a system of intellectuals. And the system
5:12
of intellectuals is the same system that the Chinese overcame during the Cultural Revolution because
5:19
Channel was the republic and Channel was almost democratic even before they coming of Males
5:25
Ado. So that system, most of those guys were sent to the firm.
5:32
Chinna became an agricultural revolution and to do away with that. So to
5:40
see, democracy is highly intellectual. It's a it's professor and it's a lot
5:48
of rhetoricals and speeches and sometimes not backed by deeds. But democracy works so
5:57
well with the West, because it's a Western concept from the Greece and the
6:03
French. In particular, we're talking about major democratic state because England, after
6:12
the fall of the monarchy Charles Charles and picked the younger as it was a
6:23
parliamentary system that the kings still have power, so it's some some sort of
6:27
a semi parliamentary monarchic state. But a freely democratic country has only succeeded in
6:38
America. Some European countries serve their versions of kings. That Spain regarded his
6:44
own king in Land God his own king, and the French goded remnants,
6:48
you know, French and the British and French and Americans. For the Americans
6:53
actually learned from the French. So in particularly we call France as a freely
7:00
democratic country with liberte egality in a fratite, you know, an American became
7:06
the becon of that democracy after the after the Second World War, the Americans
7:14
choose to export that type of democracy to the war and so the democratic countries,
7:23
you know, it's it goes from capitalism and the wis as master capitalism.
7:30
It's conceived in England, you know, and the modern economics it's actually
7:36
conceipt in England, and so it's a Western country, and so the Chinese
7:45
are not Western and they don't want to be The Chinese are Chinese. So
7:49
the conflict becomes, can you used to work with the Chinese with the Chinese
7:55
being Chinese? Can you used to walk with Chinese with the Chines is practicing
8:01
Confucianism and Taoism because the time we come when China will not be a communist
8:09
country, because communism actually is exported to China, you know, from Russia,
8:16
from Germany. You know, it's an export. And so before that,
8:24
the Chinese god or the Chinese called woman's chun Koran chun Kuran, that
8:30
we are the Chinese people, and that that thing, that thing of the
8:35
Chinese being the Chinese people, it's a it's woven in the fabric of Confucianism
8:41
and Taoism and other Chinese philosophers and Chinese culture and traditions, and they are
8:48
own type of religions that is not practice as we do here, but believing
8:52
in the ancestry, paying respect to the death, and believing in ancestry even
9:01
you know, family structure. And so that dynamism of individualism is different in
9:09
China because individual in China is interpreted differently. Chinese got collective individualism. As
9:16
we call it collective individualism, it's that we must accept that we are one
9:22
people, we are one Chinese nation. But in that nation, you take
9:28
care of yourself, You create your own business, in your own business.
9:33
You don't just mess with the government, because the government knows what it's doing,
9:39
even though the government in itself is very complicated for the ordinary person to
9:43
understand what the Chinese government is all about, and to describe the Chinese government
9:50
as just communism without a world with Chinese characteristics than your own. Again,
9:58
the Chinese characteristics stems from the confusionist ideology that we are one people, so
10:05
everything that happens to China cannot delete China must happen to China based on Chinese
10:13
customs and traditions, and the Chinese word of life is rooted in the fabric
10:20
of the Chinese people. If you can work with that, they can work
10:26
with China without delete in China or without taking China away, then you have
10:33
a lot to do with China. But if you are working with China with
10:37
the hopes of changing China to something else, or changing China to your own
10:45
image, or your own system of governance, or your own ways of life.
10:52
Then it will meet resistant and it will be resisted, and it's always
10:58
bound to fail. If you can do everything with China with Chinese characteristics.
11:07
That concept of Chinese characteristics, it means we like to be who we are.
11:11
We are one China, the people with five thousand years of civilization that
11:20
are unwilling to give it up for anything else. You can call it arrogance,
11:28
but the Chinese call it love for country, love for the own way
11:33
of life, and they will not like to change it, but they can
11:41
make it better. Chinese are quick to learn from strangers. They are quick.
11:50
If you go to China like a foreign teacher or like a visitor,
11:54
you will see that you'll be swamped by Chinese people. Students are no matter
12:00
the business you mean, if you're doing business, you're met by the business
12:03
world. The Chinese like to learn, and when they learn, they're good
12:11
at adaptation because they learn. When it comes to learning. The Chinese they're
12:20
down to earth. You can be nobody anywhere in the world, but once
12:24
you go to China, you would think that you are somebody, and it
12:31
will treat you like somebody. Because the Chinese people always have something to learn
12:35
from somebody, and that's why you see the Chinese culture when the Chinese talk,
12:43
the Chinese are not so much about the dominance philosophy of controlling or leading
12:50
politically or you know, fighting wars, or they did that in their old
12:56
history and it didn't work well. So the Chinese system is more about you
13:03
being yourself. I be myself, will learn from one another, and we
13:09
can exchange something. You might have something I don't have. I might have
13:13
something you don't have, so we can work with that. And if it
13:18
happens that I have more than you have, it's a matter of choice.
13:22
You can choose to work with me when I have more things that you don't
13:26
have, or you can choose to be yourself and not have what I have
13:31
that you need. There are rogans prevent you from having. And it's a
13:37
system that I believe in wayn Wing. It's like fifty to fifty. It's
13:43
like scratch my back, I scratch your back. It's like I have something
13:50
to gain and you have something to gain. How much it might be a
13:54
matter of degree, but in that relationship, it's about exchange, not about
14:01
somebody superior to somebody, but that somebody may have something more to offer that
14:07
somebody. So it's always an exchange of something not about race or personhod or
14:15
something that it would subd you somebody or makes somebody feel less important or inferior
14:22
or superior. There is about something that I have that you need and something
14:28
you have that I need. So the question becomes how do we balance that
14:33
trait as to be leve to economics. If you're given by politics, it
14:43
produces hate, Nazissism, disrespect, and the concept of superiority, inferiority,
14:54
and discrimination. And when once that happens, it comes very difficult to work
15:01
with China. The Chinese will work with you if you're willing to work with
15:07
them. Sometimes the terms of trade or the terms of exchange might not be
15:13
fair. That should be the debate right also working on trying to compromise on
15:24
fairness or to seek fairness or equity or equality in business trading, avoiding down
15:31
pain or intellectual property right, and that is something that come in negotiable because
15:43
that's something that there is something but the concept of demonization, disinformation, misinformation,
15:52
miseducation, and maligning or trying to make one side look bad and other
15:58
side. Look it, it does not work for the Chinese, and it
16:06
takes time for people to understand that counter and comments to understand that it might
16:10
be too late. Now it's a system of Now is the time of consolidation
16:17
in science and technology and trading routes and market share and how much you're in
16:30
France and sign free trade agreements, and how much improve your educational system and
16:40
how much you teach you younger generation much about artificial intelligence, quantum computing and
16:47
fusion technologies, space technology, satellite technology, you know, drones, and
16:55
digital economy and e commerce and and semiconduct semiconductorization because is doing by chips and
17:07
apps, platforms and downloads, and that's where the new world is. And
17:15
if you want to work with China. And they got very heavy industries and
17:22
now high quality industrial base, were high end technology and the production capacity and
17:33
the speed they have automated a lot of things and sectors of the economy.
17:41
They have automated the economy and digital did they digit terrized the economy? Excuse
17:51
me? To the extend that with the AI and if E is bury technology
18:03
and super critical infrastructure developmental technologies, there's speeding up, and it's a lot
18:18
of waste time trying to make somebody to be you that they don't want to
18:22
be here. The Western economic system a model no we all like and churish
18:33
because I still believe that the best system of government is a democratic system of
18:37
government and democracy with a caveat where everybody got a fair shake and with meritocracy.
18:47
It's the order, not a democracy in the system that's racist, sexist
18:53
and bigot or a system that is democratic. But hm, it's it's not
19:02
one size fit all, but certain people are supposed to play by the rules
19:07
and certain people are not. And that type of democracy is actually actually it's
19:12
a it's an affront to democracy because democracy and politic you not go together.
19:18
Democrasy and misinformation and this information should not go together. Democracy and the suppression
19:26
of speech and the press you not go together. Right, Democracy and lack
19:32
of freedoms of liberties or security or safety of education or education infrastructure. It's
19:42
just a sham of democracy and democracy without ah raising everybody up from bottoms up.
19:55
It's not democracy but the shine democracy where the people work so much and
20:03
the anzolesce where the gap between the rich and the poor keep keeps widening,
20:08
and the guard between the intellectuals and they know nothings keep widening, and the
20:15
gap between the rower areas and the urban areas keeps widening. Oh, the
20:19
well thought the philosophy of the urban areas and the royal areas keeps widening.
20:26
And that type of democracy where election in their surface not totally fair, where
20:30
there are some elite that determines will become precedent, there goes contrary to democracy
20:37
is a genre of democracy. As certain counties become so suspicious of it.
20:42
In the democratic system, while leaders are elected for ever and can only be
20:51
detroned or keeped out of office to civil wars and society plunder their back into
20:56
chaos and looting and violence. That's the democracy in itself is the type of
21:00
democracy. So on democratic systems think twice on what version of democracy they were
21:12
like, and don't prefer to promote economics to develop their people first and make
21:19
them sophisticated to compete with other democracies before they choose to call themselves full flesh
21:29
democratic. But the concept becomes or is democracy? Is it just political democracy?
21:37
Economic democracy, rights democracy, liberties democracy, fairness democracy it sufficiency democracy
21:53
adequacy, type of democracy, security, type of democ crazy right, what
22:03
type of democracy? Because countries choose their own versions of democracy. In the
22:11
Western world, we emphasize muchly on political democracy. You can be democratically free
22:18
and poor. In some countries were not wandered. And if we want to
22:25
be and if we want to sell democracy, then we should make sure that
22:33
we are the beacon to that democracy that we have the sauce we had a
22:38
shining light, that we had a good example to that democracy. So much
22:45
much countries, many countries around the world, like China, they think twice
22:53
and they're focus on developing their people. And I think that the one thing
23:00
that democratic democratic countries should learn. Develop your people first and pay them well,
23:07
good jobs, good retirement, and let them be able to have Let
23:12
education be affordable, Let people be able to go to school without coming out
23:18
with debt and having drunk education that they spend their whole life paying for student
23:26
loans and having minor jobs and daminishing, damaging their records or their credit scores
23:33
to the point that they just enslaved their lives even though they're politically free.
23:40
The concept of political freedom or democracy should not be a thing of the elite.
23:48
It should trick her down to the common their person and everybody should feel
23:52
that democracy in their pocket book, in their safe streets, their security,
24:00
and what they do the schools, their kids go to the church and they
24:03
watch it, to the grocery store, the girl to to the movie theater
24:07
they go to and they should reflect in their bank, in the credits call
24:11
and the credit cards. Should reflect in their health. How quick they get
24:15
a doctor for healing, not wait on the line, chew the disease curcial
24:22
before it's your time up for appointment. You know, it's democracy. What
24:26
about democracy? Is it? To vote is one thing. To have unfair
24:30
elections it's another thing. And to be able to do and to be able
24:37
to able to profit from the fruits of democracy, it's another thing. So
24:44
all these factors must be taken into consideration when you are doing something when it
24:48
comes to democracy, cause democracy in itself should never reduce your world. You
24:56
should reflect the lives of the people, to reflect the critical infrastructure. If
25:04
you go to the democratic country African for example, are some American Americans part
25:14
of the Americans. The Council of Democracy runs hollow, right, It got
25:22
people which the political systems are democratic, but there's much crime, there's much
25:29
poverty, it's much homelessness, there's much misery, there's much dysfunctionality, disunity.
25:38
There is more much hate, racism, sexism, bigotry. There is
25:45
much anarchy and much disinformation, propaganda, most much mis education, and where
26:02
the citizens to have a good quality of life and either their disrespect of their
26:07
dumbed down Seiner's not intelligent. Yeah, the democracy, it is meant for
26:14
the people, for the people, and by the people to help the people.
26:18
But we should be very careful that the democracy was selling, selling or
26:22
talking about. It's not elite democracy. Elid democracy is what work works for
26:30
the few should work for the rest when the race is abandoned. That type
26:37
of democracy and democratic institutions are very careful because they see the data, they
26:44
see the history, and they get to see the most democratic countries. Either
26:48
they got caste systems or they god society's cratification, either black, white or
26:56
blue, green, or woman or man. That democracy is spoken, but
27:04
the system in itself is not democratic. Some system and difficult for a woman
27:10
to become president, a woman to become leader. They keep talking by the
27:15
class ciy and they say it's a matter of progress, oh, gradualism.
27:22
Democracy was not conceived for progress or gradualism. It's an interpretation of the elite.
27:29
That why you gradually dye in poverty, you gradually dye in misery,
27:33
you gradually die in hardship. I will progressively change your life at my whims
27:41
and caprices. Or you ask for more pay. Instead of giving you a
27:47
dollar bump, I'll give you a cent. And if I do give you
27:52
a fifteen dollars an hour pay, I will inflate, Oh great inflation.
27:59
That inflation will take away everything from you. So the democratic system should not
28:03
be a system that make the masses of people poorer. That's where the democratic
28:07
system need to fight because countries are seen most on democratic countries are gradually having
28:15
a worthier middle class than democratic countries. And in so called democratic countries,
28:23
those who are in the middle class mostly come from a certain race of people
28:30
and from a certain gender, and everybody else is giving the plassible or conditioned
28:40
or press right to confirm or to accept their life is better when it's not.
28:48
What is good for elid for the elite are never good for the common
28:52
people. That's the problem with democracy today. Democracy is that's good for the
28:59
late standard for the common people, and the common people are sold to believe
29:03
that their conditions that they are living is better than it is. You cannot
29:10
tell some living under the bridge that are lives that their life is better.
29:15
You cannot tell somebody struggling from pay from job to job, unable to house
29:22
themselves even though they work two four hours a day. You cannot tell that
29:26
person that their lives, that their lives, that their life is better.
29:30
No matter how sweet you sweet talked there, no matter the promises of democracy
29:34
or freedom of liberty are equity. They can see that does not transcend their
29:38
lives. In the system that lacks health care, I cannot be democratic in
29:45
the system which is in the system that education is not affordable. I cannot
29:51
be democratic in the system where job jobs opportunities is stratified by way, by
30:00
gender, or by a zip code. How can that system with democratic In
30:06
the system where the resources of the state is deviated to us fighting wars than
30:17
taking care of the system, taking care of the people, especially when the
30:21
people are marching the state that they don't want those wars, and then lead
30:23
keep fighting those wars. How can that system with democratic in the system,
30:29
with the economics automate the jobs of the common person, and the common person
30:37
currently have low paying jobs while others are ripping them off in that system.
30:45
How can that system with democratic in the system when the streets are not safe,
30:51
where people are gonn down everywhere the girl, How can that system with
30:56
democratic in the system where the law enforcement can not allowed to do that job,
31:00
and the firefighters are shot at, and the streets and the shops alluded.
31:08
I can assist them with democratic in the system when no matter how much
31:15
you work, but money is just a number system, just in America,
31:22
and the system determines who has the most numbers no matter what they do,
31:29
and who has the less numbers, no matter what they do, I can
31:33
assist them with democratic. I can assist them with democratic when ninety percent of
31:40
the people are barely surviving and just ten percent have it all, I can
31:47
assist them with democratic. Is that economic system democratic? It's a pay democratic,
31:56
it's a healthcare system democratic, ocational system democratic. It's retirement benefits democratic,
32:07
our jobs opportunities democratic. You can have segregation and democracy. You can
32:15
have racism and democracy. You can have sexism and democracy. You can have
32:23
the bigit to hate and democracy. You can have a system with certain speech,
32:30
our silence and false speech. Haw's the day that's not democratic. So
32:37
countries see all this and they're very wary about democracy. We are giving a
32:45
good thing a bad name. Democracy is the best system of government. But
32:52
when the leaders are corrupt, they create a corrupt type of democracy that in
32:58
the surf is an upfront and abused democracy. So when we think about countries
33:07
like China, if we want China to become us, we should be a
33:17
good example for their own people to copy. The one good thing you cannot
33:24
take away in a freely democratic system is the pursuit of liberties and freedoms.
33:37
In a free democratic society, creativity is a bound. You can do whatever
33:43
you like. But even though this is touted and freely worsting democratic system that
33:50
we all love, not everybody has it a fair chance. You know that,
33:58
and I know that certain people, no matter what they do, they
34:01
will not make it even though they live in a free democratic system. There
34:08
are many strengths of entrapments to prevent certain people, certain citizens in a democratic
34:21
system from enjoying the fruits of freedom that becomes the contradictions of democracy, and
34:32
most democratic systems work just for the few and the masses. If they can
34:40
accept to be free to buy the things that consume, to buy the things
34:45
that consume them to death, that's a freedom that you like. The freedoms
34:52
becomes not realistic freedoms, but much of priambus aspirations. But can make it
35:07
real if we were freely democratic and everybody in America, in the Western world
35:15
is benefiting from the fruits of democracy, why which I now resist O many
35:22
country resists if he works for everybody who know one to be part of it,
35:31
if he walks for everybody who know one to be part of it.
35:37
When we find ourselves imposing democracy on people, those people ask themselves, what
35:44
is the catch? If it's that good, are you imposing on me?
35:51
And if it's that good, why don't I see it in the lives of
35:54
your people? As a question I we shall ask. I shall learn to
36:05
walk with countries we want to work with us, for us not to be
36:09
left behind in this artificial intelligence age or race, and in this multipolar world,
36:24
develop the people for us. Let that people be the ambassadors. Is
36:34
that what we are doing, That's about what we are doing. Make Americans
36:40
richer, not bygrad who. It is very hand outs give people a working
36:49
chance, right, not true entapments. It doesn't look good for democracy.
37:01
The more miserable and poorer all freer people, the most difficult. It is
37:07
for you to be selling human rights, democrats and others noble ideals. It
37:14
means the ideal is good, the message is good, but the messenger got
37:20
an issue. It must be able for the messenger and the message to align.
37:28
Measurement, proportionality, and balance. It's much about projection, perception,
37:35
and perspective. It's all about TDQ, TDQ tdq TDQ, think doubt and
37:49
ask questions.
