Assignment: China - The 1980s

[@HundreadD]

Such a great documentary series that actually increased my respect for journalists, as opposed to everything now that seems to bring their credibility down

Would like to see the full interview with Comrade Zhao Ziyang

[@Felix-rc8kf]

"Comrade" :/

This was when the 400 billion dollar Alibaba was founded.

Alibaba was found in 1999, not in the 80s

The most shocking information: there was no the thing from Mike Wallace's interview with Deng.

As far as modern economics concerns regular citizens， ordinary people must understand the phenomenon of oligopoly-within-capitalist-system。 why ordinary entrepreneurs conducting commercial pursuit without network resources are at great disadvantages。

Wow the very last part is really all telling. It's great to go back 30 plus years to review how China & the west interacted.

When we talk about things like Star Trek, and why they have a non-interference policy with other civilizations this comes to mind. With a visit from a world leader, and China's idea of power, respect and honour it is a short wonder that this situation was peaceful for so long. It wasn't even the visit being upended so much as America's global coverage of it. They also fed the protesters ideology. They even said themselves they were routing for them. The basic entitled attitude of these reporters caused them to inject themselves into this situation. Had the entire thing not been broadcast 24hrs around the clock it is unknown how long the protests would have been. More importantly it would not have thrust China's leadership to the stage and forced them to act, so they did not appear weak. Anybody on that time should have had the insight into this quite simply by all the other restrictions and arbitrary hassles they incurred while reporting regular, non-sensitive news.

Why don't they report about Rewards Veterans who shot in Washington DC square ordered by their own USA general after WWI?

[@fenxian]

thanks for Deng Xiaoping, kicking out of Comrade Zhao Ziyang, who adored Gorbachivo so much, otherwise colour revolution would have happened in China soil.

As for politics， ordinary people merely need to explore and learn to use geopolitics as bargaining chips。 Does it matter if it isnt motherland making chinese-you billionaire， instead the opportunity is given by 天國竺竺？

Deng was a good president but he coulda been the greatest of all time for China. Unfortunately he couldnt live up to that hype.

@@AmericanBadger87 Not really. General McArthur was more powerful than anyone in the world. Ordered tank and bullets shoot to the Bonus veterans who must be regretted to fight for him. Compared to innocent and naive students who were influenced by the USA, those veterans deserved more than apology.
