How Western Failures Are Fueling China’s Rise

When China opened up to foreign investment four decades ago, many predicted capitalism would bring democratic change. But they were wrong. Emboldened by the 2008 financial crisis and now America's catastrophic handling of the pandemic, Beijing is offering up its authoritarian model as a thriving alternative to the liberal values of the West.

Whatever you say China being an oppressive, authoritarian regime, or one that is only boasting successes and concealing failures, it won’t change the fact China remains the top-most country most trusted by its own nationals. Its approval ratings > 90% is envied by all its western counterparts. The dramatic growth of its economy in the last 4 decades, making its the 2nd largest economy after the USA. Its ascension to the middle-income bracket while lifting nearly 800 million people from poverty. Its success in beating the covid-19 pandemic with the lowest infection and death rates among major economies. Advancements in 5G/6G, quantum computing/telecommunication, space exploration, Beidou navigational system, etc, all of which are making China one of the most competitive countries. This only says one thing loud and clear - its socialism model with unique Chinese characteristics is one that is working, and for that matter, it is far more efficient than Western Capitalism Model where 99% of wealth is controlled by the top 1%. China is now embracing on its latest 'Common Prosperity' program, building an even bigger middle class group as well as spreading the national wealth more evenly among its nationals. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, China will attain its goal of national rejuvenation, regaining its leadership position in the central stage of the global arena, leading its vast population to prosperity, stability, and peace.

The West always tends to describe China as a nation without "freedom" and the people living there are "unhappy" under the high pressure of the central government.

Absolutely agree. I find it interesting how Chinese and people from many democratic countries have a completely different mindsets in terms of government. Eg when facing the pandemic, many people in the western countries view the measurements taken by their government such as lockdown and vaccine as a violation to liberty/human rights. However in China, people see these measurements as an inherent responsibility of the government. They think that by doing so, the government is caring about the people's live, and they willing to participate together to achieve the same goal as with the government. I think this mindset is the crucial point of why the virus has been contained so well in China, and this willingness to cooperate with the government is unseperatable with the China model.

Can you actually point out which country China has "offered" its governance model to? Name ONE. I'll make it easier for you, Bloomberg. Name ONE country China has even ATTEMPTED to offer its model to. Go ahead.

He mentioned Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore - all countries are basically islands (including South Korea because the border with North Korea isnt crossed at all). And you can handle pandemic much better when you are an island than an inland country. Oh, btw Brazil, UK and other countries in the EU are democracies and look how they failed.

the man is deluded; he concluded that is better to not be Iran, North Korea based on nothing (I specifically replayed that part several times thinking I missed the reason why he said that)

Not only ideologies. Bloomberg won't say anything about the power of lobbies in a democratic governments. Many countries in Europe changed their system because of prolonged wars and crowny capitalism within kings and their clergy group. Now US is in the same situation where lobby capitalists have influence in the government including Bloomberg. But in China there are capitalists even within the government, but not "capitalism". And after the war in Ukraine, US and their allies are showing more weakness by inflation, debt and ideologies, China is asserting it's influence through Belt and road initiative.

[@Dawson2011H]

To join a party in US, you just need to register. To join CCP, you need consistent performance merit and the will to serve the people. When disaster strikes, have you seen party members are volunteering to go to help in US ? Therefore, I rather question the purpose of US parties since any party in US is not for the people in this core. The election is a procedure which can be influenced by media and by propaganda (Yes, election slogan) of parties. The life of common citizens have not changed for years.

one party is the key for China to develop quickly. In USA, two parties means fighting against each other and party interest is above national interest!

[@yuunpaan580]

Yep, with one party theres no one to stop you from committing genocide, imprisoning anyone who criticizes you without trial, sending an entire generation of muslim children to re-education camps to destroy their heritage, research virology on human chimeras, etc. The list goes on. Darn those USA parties of checks and balances keeping all the atrocities that happen in china from happening here.

[@h3rteby]

@@yuunpaan580 That happens in democracies as well. Democracy protects the majority (so it doesn't become like North Korea where everyone suffers) but it doesn't protect minorities. Look how blacks were treated in the US 50 or 100 years ago, the US was still a democracy then.

China to allow religious freedom in China, you will find that the Chinese folk have a lot of people are Christian, so said China's destruction of the mosque is completely false charges, COVID - 19 viruses are American soldiers in wuhan on during the period of world military games, there are five American soldiers sick at that time, but the military refused to accept treatment, at a time when the United States strikes down with a flu, Said at least the United States, the United Nations demands to enter the United States, Crete fort viruses laboratory tests, the United States also refused, I really doubt that virus leaked from there, China recently about women's rights bill collected 420000 valid opinions on the Internet, the Chinese government for the rational criticism and the opinion of the people is modest, western demonstrations and strikes are not suitable for China, Marches and strikes are democracy on the surface, not in substance
