[@phenomenonautumn9367]

Second generation Indian-American here. My family comes from the "world's largest democracy" where we still have horrendous poverty and women are fearful of being outside even in broad daylight. "Democracy" nowadays is a term to make the Western world feel superior about themselves. Look at the USA where in 2 of the last 5 elections, the politician with less votes ended up winning the presidency. My friends have had the pleasure of visiting Shanghai and they were beyond impressed. In major Chinese cities, you see ultra-modern looking skyscrapers and train stations, but it goes more than that. You see women walking and cycling by themselves late at night. You see small children take the metro train system by themselves on their way to school. You see people leaving their doors unlocked and their belongings outside their houses. Now ask yourself this? Would this ever work in India... or the USA... or even in majority of European countries? China's incredible industrialization and development isn't because of their authoritarian government, but because of their social culture and mentality. Indians are excellent at talking the talk, but the Chinese are excellent at walking the walk. Before any Indians reading this become angry, please note that I've been to India a couple times and still enjoy the country. However we need to be real with ourselves and accept the fact that China has already left the developing world in the dust, and it's only a matter of time they will leave the developed world in the dust.

To give a clue to the reader how unique your writing is, is to change those paths and create new paths. Collective intelligence for example is needed not only 1 man but 8 man to defeat a dragon or maybe add 2 mage women for the twist, don't underestimate women this days they can rule entire country.

So well presented Cyrus, as I've mentioned before we arrived at a very similar time in China (first visit was August 2006). I returned to the US as I was working there and returned to China in April 2007. The changes I've seen over the last 17 plus years have been astonishing, from the growth of the highspeed railway to the expantion of various infrastructure projects from bridges to highways and more recently the growth of digital payment services throughout the nation. I look back at my 16 years in the US with some fondness but now with a deep concern over the decline of the countries economy and it's self destructive behaviour towards China. Continuing the theme I have a similar fear over the state of society in the UK as knife and gun murders appear to be on a continual rise. Many of my friends on both sides of the Atlantic are complaining that the cost of utilities, groceries and daily necessities are constantly increasing for them. Living here is much more comfortable in so many ways from the cost of living to the convenience of transportation. Of course it's not all moonlight and roses, the economy here is hurting a little too, jobs for some graduates are a bit more scarce and buisnesses in general are struggling somewhat, but in contrast new business ventures are popping up everywhere not just in the larger/richer cities like Shanghai and Beijing. As good example of how the government, both national and local build infrastructure for the people is the city I'm living in Jiaxing. Small by Chinese standards with ony 5.4 million, but even within a 15 minute walk of our apartment the local government has renoovated an older area of a canal side featuring water town architecture and turned it into a shopping and retail area, with a Pizza Hut, KFC, Starbucks, Luckin Coffee, a movie theatre, hotel, and various other restaraunts and shops, utilizing an otherwise abandoned area of the city.

Larry it very much is an arrogance...I am better than you because I have a democracy! Well guess what? Trudeau has been in charge for 10 years, only about 30% actually voted for him...his approval rating has been at a historical low for years, he passed laws in Canada that were more authoritarian than China but people will just look at the fact Canada is a "liberal democracy" and forget the rest

作为一个中国人，看到一个美国人如此真诚、如此深度、如此客观地分析当今世界，尤其是当您分析到中国人的价值观念时，我深表感动，甚至留下了感动的泪水。连中国人可能都意识不到我们的家国情怀如此深刻，中国人勤奋踏实，不卑不亢，我们一直欢迎国外的朋友与我们交流，但我们永远拥护国家领土完整。感谢您的发声和报导，这太好了。 As a Chinese, when I see an American analyze the world today so sincerely, so deeply and so objectively, especially when you analyze the values of Chinese people, I am deeply moved and even shed moving tears. Even Chinese people may not be aware that our feelings of family and country are so profound. Chinese people are diligent, down-to-earth, neither humble nor arrogant. We always welcome foreign friends to communicate with us, but we will always support the territorial integrity of our country. Thank you for your voice and report. This is great.

I'm an Indian Canadian, been here for the past 40 years. In the 40 years that I have been here Canada was way developed than China. But in the past 40 years China has grown head and shoulders above Canada and it's safe to say any of the other G7 nations. And they are still growing by leaps and bounds. Ppl will talk lots of smack about the US and China, but ultimately now in 2024 we can all see the trajectory....China will overtake the US and become the next superpower. It's kinda expected tho...every 100 years or so superpowers rise and fall. For all the reasons you have mentioned I agree the US is declining and also China currently has lots of problems, but nothing that cannot be resolved, they have all the tools and they are putting all of them to good use. India is not even a remote comparison to China. We are far far behind. Ppl reading this will disagree, but take a min are ask how useful is space exploration when all the roads have holes in them and all the infrastructure is in utter shambles. And more importantly women do not feel safe even in the day time. In a race China is the leader and India is in the last place.

What would happen if US companies in China, like Apple, KFC, Nike, that cheesecake shop, were all told to pack their bags? Because if USA pushes China hard enough, these companies may well suffer. USA should well remember the expression, "you made your bed, now lie in it" or "you sow what your reap".

[@tigading2177]

That would be the wrong strategy, China is smart, it doesn't have to send these corporations packing, U$ govt is doing a good job taxing these corporations, at some point these profit driven corporations will simply move locations for good.

Thank you Cyrus, you have brought the true of China to the western world. As you said, I only wish those westerners will spend some time to visit the China and see for themselves what it’s really like! I am a US citizen, but born and raised in China and Hong Kong, the China now is very different than what it’s before. Most youngsters in China are complaining about freedom in China because of how the government impose their policies, they may not be completely what you want but to govern a country with that large populations it’s upmost important to have strict laws and orders which maybe not be your liking! But without those rules, the countries will be ruined! Cyrus you have pointed out all the issues in your videos! 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
