vue - Eric X. Li: A tale of two political systems

1. talking about brainwash,keep watching CNN and BBC.
2. My AP Human Geography class watched this.
3. that makes a lot sense. he is brilliant!
4. I believe there are differences between Single party Elite vs multi party Elite but still Elites. Probably what the countries need to make Elites to be accountable to street people and make participation possible.
5. prefer democracy and participation along with God's moral
6. BIG GOVERNMENT small citizens
7. I've been 30 countries poor or rich.I've been using VPN for 10 years, I read all west mainstream media, I think the west people(including tawiwan,hk) is more brainwashed, Trump's win such blackswan things prove it..the difference is that chinese people are so afraid they may be brainwashed by media so we keep go outside see both sides news..but the west youth never realise media is so brainwashed, chinese know more the west than the west youth know china.
8. Eric made this speech in 2013, at the end of 2016, in which year of political black swans, we now can find what he got right in this speech
9. 中国普通民众哪一个不是靠自己辛苦工作来养家糊口，什么时候靠过你狗日的中国共产党，不但不靠，而且还要纳税养活中共狗官，但狗日的中国共产党不但不感恩，反倒利用手中的权力对中国人民横征暴敛，残酷镇压，致使中国人在共匪统治的六十七年里，横死八千万，受害者更是不计其数。共匪罪恶滔天，罄竹难书，累累血债中国人都铭记于心，迟早会跟你狗日的共匪算总账。
10. 3:02 - 3:19 Basically sums up the comment section.
    Everyone thinks the other side is 'brainwashed' by propaganda, without even questioning themselves and looking at the bigger picture.
    This talk was excellent but people are so blinded by their rage and rejection of China that they don't even listen to Eric's perceptive and points.
11. When I look at the comment section,I realize most people are stupid fuckers
12. after I went to western countries then I realized so many people there are brainwashed. Now I've been traveling over 60 countries and I can safely say most of us Chinese have independent thinking, the other foreigners most of them are all brainwashed more or less.
13. https://www.quora.com/What-is-Balaji-Viswanathans-opinion-about-this-video
    nice analysis.
    Quote from the source "The key assumption is that China's political system is better because China has grown to the be the second largest economy in the world. Of course he uses the aggregate GDP measure. However, China lags behind in per-capita incomes when it is compared with its own democratic neighbors, leave alone Europe and the US. "
14. Although Chinese history under Mao was horrible for millions it is not arguable that it was necessary for pushing China into the modern era and making it one of the most powerful countries. Currently China is westernizing and innovating. With brand new major subway systems and country wide transit rapidly being built while in America it is impossible to build a subway system from scratch in a major city because there are too many voices in the way
15. China is more capitalist than the west nowadays
16. Isn't Youtube Banned in China?
17. It has been three years since Li's Ted speech. How's China now? Is the one party ruled nation better than ever? It supposes to since Li was so sure that CCP's refusal of temptation of Democracy has brought the world another new path of development. Well, with bitter taste in mouth, Li is most likely having most of his assets escaped from China by now.
18. I came here after seeing Eric Li on John Pilger's documentary "The Coming War on China."
    
    The talk here makes even more sense after the recent round of elections in the US. American "democracy" gives you the illusion of choice between two parties, but really the policies between GOP and DNC, don't differ all that much "suppression of the poor", "enrichment of the 1%". As Li said in the documentary, "In China, you can't change political parties, but you can change policies. In the US, you can change parties but you can't change policies."
19. Facts speak louder than words.Ten years later let's see whether China will become the No.1 economy in the word.
20. What a lie!
