For extra:
Some say that the digital assembly between Chinese language President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden injected certainty to #China-U.S. ties. However nonetheless, many are inquisitive about how the 2 international locations will proceed. Martin Jacques is considered one of them. Jacques is a British scholar who studied China for many years. He shared his understanding on the important thing factors of the sixth plenary session of the nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Celebration of China, and the way China ought to talk with the #world.

I disagreed with Martin Jacques. Martin is not a Chinese and he does not understand the historical hatred of Chinese and things Chinese from the Chinese Exclusion Act 1882 in the United States to the White Australia Policy of 1862 and across all the land dispossessed from the First Nation from New Zealand to Canada. The recent demonising of China is but a manifestation of this deep seated hatred of Chinese. Generally it can be broken down to the following percentage, 60 per cent are neutral and only get riled up when pointed out that the Chinese are displacing them in employment, housing, and any other factors like human rights in China, 25 per cent who are very pro-China because of marriage, working in Asia and or China, and close interaction with Chinese, and 15 per cent who are the rabid haters of China because they are xenophobic and ignorant as well as fear of the unknown. These haters will spend every cent to daub the walls of cities and towns with hate Chinese graffiti and will occasionally go and beat up Chinese when they find them alone in a deserted street. They are often let off by the law enforcement agencies through pretending that there is no racial intent to their crime. This is total bs. You will find this thumb sketch pretty accurate across the universe in the West. The rest of the world are non altruistic and do not care less as long as China help them to prosper and improve their societies. So as the Asian Games motto suggest, China Ever Onward. No amount of effort will change their xenophobia and there is no need to worry about what they think. See Daniel Dumbrill's interview with the heinous and poorly informed and educated retard Paul Mooney. Even the so-called Mandarin speaking Kevin Rudd harbour deep seated Sinophobia under the cloak of his language skill.
The Anti China rhetoric started under Obama with the pivot to Asia. To think it was under Trump is wrong. Trump just accelerated it.
Martin Jacques…..super CCP Shill!
A belligerent U.S. is itching to start another war. Iraq and Afghainstan were just too boring.
民主 ≠ Democracy。这个英文词已经被母语的人污染,滥用,垄断,带偏,并狭隘化了。中国人如果想准确表达自己的思想,应该避免用这个英文字,因为它从来就是个陷阱,当你在使用它时就已经坠入对方设定的话语圈套里了。
中国人说这个词和西方人听到这个词时各自头脑里想到的不一样。既然英语已不再单属于英美,既然他们都不再规范,随意造新词,比如说B3w,那么中国人也不必客气,从我出发造一个新词把民主两个字在中文里的意思重新意译: 民主 = Plocad = people led + people-oriented + people-centric + people-authorized (对应Authoritarian) + people-dictated(对应dictatorship) (I want to be credited if adopted)
China needs more p r people to sent its message across.
Not to worry, the western propaganda looks worrying at the start but in the medium term ….all the fake stuff in the western propaganda will be called out. Thanks to YOUTUBE.
The truth will set you free.
I am a Malaysian Chinese and most of us are exposed to western propaganda against China .
Surprisingly, most Malaysian Chinese saw through the western propaganda b s …..
Most of us support China.
The Chinese government must continue to look after its citizens…..once its citizens support the government….the rest of the world will see China in a GOOD LIGHT.
The good deeds of the Chinese government will not be forgotten….neither the evil and bad deeds of ANY GOVERNMENT be forgotten.
The truth is difficult to hide in these time and age….
All the western propaganda b s will end…..
USA and the western allies killings and genocide of the Muslims in Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan will not be forgotten despite all the whitewash by western propaganda.
民主 ≠ Democracy. This term has been polluted, abused, monopolized, biased, and limited to a narrower sense by native speakers. If Chinese people want to express their thoughts accurately, they need to avoid using this English word, because it has always been a trap. When you use it, you have fallen into a language trap set by the other party.
When a Chinese says this word its connotation / his cognition is different from what a Westerner thinks of when he hears it and vice versa. Since English is shared internationally and no longer belongs to Britain and the United States alone, and since language normative is no longer followed by native speakers who often freely coin new words at will, such as B3w, the Chinese people should feel at home and feel free to coin a new word to reflect and manifest the real meaning of the word in their mother tongue: 民主 = Plocad = people led + people-oriented + people-centric + people-authorized (as in Authoritarian) + people-dictated(as in dictatorship) (I do want to be credited if adopted)
I humbly beg to disagree with Martin.
Like all Americans or Europeans, Martin tends to look at China from the perspective of US, & fails to understand or appreciate the Chinese culture, philosophy, respect & years of humiliation under the colonial West (particularly the historical opium war) & now the constant smearing & demonizing by US & its subjugate allies. For years China has been bowing her head & "biting her tongue", to be despised, kicked & trodden by Westerners.
China has been too patient to highlight & explain to US & the West what China's bottom-lines are:—- Mutual respect & non-interference in others internal affairs, peaceful co-existence & cooperation. Simple as that.
On the other hand, US is hell bent on suppressing & containing China on all fronts:—- societally, economically, technologically, militarily & territorially. Examples:–smearing China on concocted lies of Xinjiang genocide, democracy in Hong Kong, banning of Huawei 5G & long-arm kidnapping of innocent Meng Wanzhou ,encircling all east coast of China with over 400 military bases, formation of 5-Eyes ,QUAD & AUKUS, inciting Taiwan separatism to "carve out China", inciting anti-China sentiment amongst Asia & ASEAN countries.
The US position is very clear: —to be the only hegemon in the world, with all other nations being its subjugates. This includes China & Russia.
The only option for China to co-exist peacefully with US is "to be like Russia".
Who would ever want to be a part of this community? Yep. This is real human rights! Why hasn’t Zhang Zhan been released? All she did was report on the chaos that existed in Wuhan during the outset of the virus. How’s it going to look if she dies in prison. Countries boycotting the Olympics might want to put her name in the forefront as to the reason why they are boycotting the Winter Olympics along with all the egregious atrocities in Xinjiang.
#FreeTibet #FreeTibet #FreeTibet #FreeTibet
Anglo empire continues to make demands like a broken record. Eventually such demands would become background noise.
The following is what I borrowed from a Malaysian YouTuber’s comment:
I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.
When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.
Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium.
After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:
1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free.
2. Make opium legal in China.
Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.
In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone.
Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles.
Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from.
In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.
For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China.
Everything China does is negatively reported.
They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
Minorities in China
Show me any currency in the world which also prints the language of its ethinc minorities. Chinese bank notes show 5 languages of 5 minorities living in China, including Tibetan and Uyghur.
They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. Muslims students get Halal food at the university cafeteria. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.
When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:
1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.
2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.
China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
During the pandemic,
When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.
When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.
When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
Western Media always have reasons to bash China.
Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good.
Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.
They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.
The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.
China’s achievements and success have been by hard work. Not by looting and plundering the world.
I have deep respect and love for China for all the suffering and the hardship they endured, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.
Professor Jacques advice on subtlety and nuance in dealing with a Western audience is helpful.
China needs clear understanding of the Western public's perceptions of China. Do some market research, you may find useful information to help frame your message.
Most Westerners are unaware of the brutal history of over 100 years of foreign interference in China. It needs to be explained because it helps create an understanding of why China is wary of foreign influence NGOs, etc. It also explains the Taiwan situation.
Most Westerners also believe China steals technology, operates debt diplomacy, etc. These perceptions can be corrected and at the same time Westerners can be educated on the way their countries have behaved historically (because most are ignorant of the facts).
Giving an understanding of the life of Chinese citizens and the progress they have experienced would be a useful exercise. Especially considering the poverty levels and lack of social support for around 20% of the populations in the UK and US – as examples.
However in the long run when China economy will surpass that of US by 50%, will US public opinion really matter for China government
Look at what the US has done to Huawei. Where is Huawei's smart phone business today?
The US and their allies can do a lot more harm to China, the Chinese people and Chinese companies. Yet, there are many Chinese people who rather be hanjian 漢奸 and move to countries like the West.
The West needs to update its mental model of China. The PRC has come into being, arriving at superpower status for a long time. As the West seeks to contain China's rise and influence, overseas Chinese and diaspora are a force to be reckoned with and help to break its encirclement. The Chinese are an ancient and peaceful civilisation with no expansionist ambitions. Its only claims are Taiwan island and the SCS. They are legitimate, in line with sovereignty and territorial integrity. No external force can disturb this internal force of will made in peace even with time's passage.
Do not quite agree with Mr. Martin J. on suggestions of how 🇨🇳 should be more subtle, convincingly, and acting in a more "diplomatic" approached to Westerners audience's in general and to 🇺🇸 in particular..May I ask you if your surrounding neighbor's, colleagues and local governments officials had been bullying you, stealing your personal belongings, framing you for beings a thief's, and gaslighting you..What more subtlety would you do?🤔?..As Mr. Edwards Snowden said:"U CANNOT WAKE 🆙 SOMEONE WHO PRETENDS ASLEEP.."..The only ways is let those pretending to be asleep to wake 🆙 Bi themselves when their houses are on 🔥, their kids got hurts, and /or having their governments rob them in broad daylight..Then, SEEING IS BELIEVING..Period..
Thts why I said can’t trust usa … the meeting of Brandon and President Xi is of waste of time
There is this constant remark there is this deep misunderstanding of China in the West and the US. Therefore the current tension between them. I beg to differ. Relations between them were better than good between the 1970s to around the 2010s. It was only when the West and the US noticed the rapid progress and modernisation that China achieved from the 2010s to now that they started to focus their attention on and at China. The only misunderstanding is that in their wet dreams, China should not and cannot be what it is today. To be in a position of development that can be at par or even ahead of that with the West and the US. That may leave them with a nation they cannot look at with condescension and pity as they once can and did. Being diplomatic in the use of the "misunderstanding" word will not help to address the real issues that is at play in their relationships. That would be looking South for a solution when the answer is located North.
CHINA is very bad in PR. it should get more foreign PR expert to teach it on how to handle the west
Xi calls for crackdown on religion and Sinocisation of religion in China calling it a threat to national security.
"I want them to worship me and the Party not their Gods", he said before the word Gods was deleted by state media and Weibo.
The anti China propaganda by the US is deliberate. It wont matter even if China's PR is excellent.
MSM is suppressing China's progress by misinformation, fabricated propaganda basically. People in the West are in the dark of why China is not rising entirely. MJ should represent China on talks platform!
This program exemplifies why China is on its backfoot when it comes to mass brainwashing……..
What a contrast between China and USA approach to other countries.
I agree that China needs to communicate more effectively to a worldwide audience. As a Westerner, I actually appreciate how calmly the news is delivered by Chinese outlets like CGTN. But most Westerners just aren't used to that style of delivery so it can turn them off. So much of Western media is this back and forth, aggressive, stay on your toes and constantly be ready to pivot with the ultimate goal of landing a blow right before the commerical break. It can put people that know English as a second language at a disadvantage. If they could find some Westerners with those kinds of skills to make up a special spokesperson team to specifically handle Western media appearances, it might help. They would take all the heat and the government would be able to handle all the diplomatic talks. I'm really good at rebuffing the propoganda against China when I'm talking to friends and family. I've shut quite a few of them down and softened their views, but no way could I do it on camera. It's much easier to be brave in a small group than on the world stage.
The usa regime is still sending military troops weapons n machineries to the taiwan straits scs s.korea n japan
The usa regime has not kept its word n should never be trusted
I don't think it is a matter of PR only. Being soft and accommodating will only invite more attack as they want China to capitulate. it is more for China to do better, invest more on education, infrastructure, environment , science , technology and the BRI. Only when China becomes much more stronger, and when they are left behind, then reality will dawn on them. Right now is a dangerous moment as they can't accept their reduced status and prone to use military means to settle issues.
If any US President can drag the world into WW111 Biden certainly will be the one. The POTUS has no right to lecture or warn Putin about Russian military movements on Russian soil. If the POTUS wants peace he sure has no idea how to go about promoting peace. Biden wants to show he is the winner but he continues to be the loser. Biden really has no direction and do not know what is going on in the world. Now Russia and China must be prepared for war with the USA.
Martin and khisore are the best
Japan soft approach to external view of it's country via Japan Hour helps People to learn Differences in Culture – Indeed some Westerner seem to misunderstood that there is little Co-Existence between Difference in Ethnicity, less about Humanity
China leads the world in almost everything except disruption destruction and war
That is America’s domain
America leave us all alone and sort out your own sick sad sorry mess
The American elites wanted China to turn out like a huge Christianized malleable South Korea.
The current economic order was established by the West. Poor countries had no say.
This economic order needs change.
Does he support China's 9 dash line?
Western Jealousy.
Cool~
"China's brilliant handling of the covid", if it was brilliant, a local outbreak would not be a world endemic.
China realy need less "Yes men" and more people that question their decisions.
In a while China will dropp their Zero strategy and learn live with covid-19 when realism is knocking on the door.
DEFEND THE COUNTRY OF TAIWAN! FREE THE COUNTRY OF TIBET! STOP GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG! LIBERATE HONG KONG! REVOLUTION OF OUR TIMES!!
China first
for china there are common idea-common prosperiy but for usa there are war-common destruction !!!😎😎😎
China brings prosperity and happiness to all.
We in the west understand China very well. We have Nazi Germany as a model to refer to.
Bien por la RPCH
Great lesson from MR J . Martin . Do well to absolve all of what he's suggesting
Why should CHINA care what or how the West think about its success? Continue with what it's doing and to hell with what others think. If the West seeks help and if the request is not against China's interest, it is up to China to decide.
when Martin talks about adopting a western view point,i'll give you an example from my perspective from a working class organiser,“when you interview personality's on divers subject's,it's always professionals ,phd.,professors,and intellectualls of divers sources,but never chinese trade unionist's or people from divers social groups in china.They do exist because when i visited China in 1978,i met some so CGTN should make an effort,in this perspective to reach general public in the west.
As soon as China becomes fully self-sufficient (except for some raw materials), including semiconductors, given its huge internal market, it can start forgetting about the declining United States… Of course the rest of the world will matter to China, but not so much…
