I then divorced him and just went to school for a two year degree myself in a female appropriate job of nursing which I had no interest in.

I'm a South African living near a university town , at least 10 years ago we noticed an influx of chinese students studying power subjects (economics, politics etc etc) to understand the local society and go back to China with insider knowledge on how our society and government works/thinks. They understand us better than we might understand them as a government from those students entering their academics, bureaucracy and politics.

In the west, the capitalist can control government while in china, government control the capitalist. This way the capitalist will find it very hard and almost impossible to lobby the law maker to make law for their interests (this is from what I see here in my country, some laws are created to benefit the capitalist aka oligarchs). I'm Indonesian chinese, but imo democracy is very easy to turn to chaos because every human is different and have different voices (this is also from what I see in my country, while yours maybe different) this can lead to fight very easy.. so I prefer iron hand leadership, what most people want is nothing more than nice home to live, safety and enough food on the table, if I can have all that I will support any kind of government, but different country will be different also, means what works in your country might not work in others.

I dont think Chinese student never heard about the free market adjustment. This is the whole point of the reform started in 1980s. It is quite accepted concept. On the other hand, government guidance is needed for critical or fundamental things. If you just let market do the adjusting, no need for high speed train in rural areas, buying is far efficient than developing somthing until they stop selling. It is hard for captalists thinking in a large scale. Even Ted Cruze, who strongly against China admitted, if a business is not good for national interests, for example national safety, the government should intervene. This makes the government of the USA behave like Chinese government. Think aount the tariff war. You are kind of self censoring.

Yes, pure laissez faire capitalism leads to exploitation and extreme class disparity due to avarice while pure communism leads to indifference and poverty due to indolence. Centralized planning combined with privatization for inefficient government entities is probably necessary to jumpstart an economy but because governments can print as much money as they want, they end up allocating money to the wrong places, whereas companies, especially small ones, in a capitalist economy have to be careful how they spend the limited funds they have to ensure they bring the maximum return and if they can't do that, the business is pruned from the marketplace so that no more money is wasted on making products the customer doesn't want or need. A prime example of misallocation of capital was when the central planners in China demanded the provinces get their GDP up and so the local governments incentivized the real estate market as they could lease the land to fund the government. Too many ghost cities were built and too many families or at least too much of their wealth was tied up in these ghost cities. So when these real estate companies started failing, it had a massive domino effect on the economy w.r.t domestic consumption, and with the one-child policy the government had in place for so many years coupled with the high cost of living, there is a looming population collapse which does not bode well for the future of Chinese domestic consumption let alone production. Then on top of international companies pulling out and trade wars on the horizon, the Chinese government cannot count so much on exports any more to make up the difference.

@@doppelkammertoaster actually had this exact conversation with a few people in china last week, and yes, they knew all the same information I knew. Whether they directly blame the CCP for the death of 60+ million in the 50s is a debate, but they know about it and understand the famines caused by the early communist regime. On the opposite of this, knowledge of japanese atrocities in ww2 is completely removed from japanese schools from what I've heard.

I had to watch the video again to catch the few minutes I missed and it was worth the rewatch. University is an experience no matter where you go. In many ways Fudan sounds like it was very open learning experience. I remember taking courses where was required to purchase expensive text books written buy the courses professor. So orthodoxy in university is more of an educational thing, than solely a function of where the university is located. I have a strong Don Quixote streak that is core to my belief system. By that I mean, I will tilt at windmills knowing that my lance will get tangled in the arms of the windmill. Ultimately, I was smashed into the ground, exactly as I knew would be. However, as you said you have to know your limits on pushing against group think. I wrote papers that I didn't believe, in order to get the grade. Again that is a factor of the system. I believe I gained, because being the devils advocate prepared me to see all sides of an argument, but it didn't change my core beliefs. It did challenge those beliefs and modified how I viewed them in an overall context. You taking your degree in Mandarin Chinese, put a whole other level on just succeeding academically. The subtleties and nuances of language add an inherently degree of difficulty that you obviously mastered in order to succeed. I enjoyed you showing this slice of your alma mater. It definitely gave off that university vibe. A very fancy and far updated facility to any that I attended, but even I went, damn I'd like to take a few classes in that place.

When you said any topic was up for discussion I had to think about something that some of my older teachers said - mainly when it came to the relationship between France and the UK in the past. The personal antagonism and the "I don't like you, I don't talk to you - I hope something bad happens to you" attitude was reserved for the "common people". At the top universities and among the higher echelons of society you would find people discussing these topics quite openly and being quite open about a lot of things that you'd think were considered "taboo" or "off limits" in their society. It's very much as you said when you brought up the market regulating itself: how do you respond to that if you never had a meaningful discussion about it with someone who didn't agree with you? Someone who can get into a top university usually already has the background, the knowledge and the intelligence to form their own opinion. Not letting them openly discuss controversial topics isn't going to help the government that wants to use them for its own good. The inflluence is more subtle; as you pointed out with the Japan example. It's not so much that you're forbidden from taking certain positions, it's just that taking those positions in a serious way will hinder you. You're encouraged to find justifications, explanations and defenses of the desired positions.

Kudos to the Chinese for becoming the only Superpower in commercial manufacturing worldwide making many exceptional products. Kudos on the CCP’s commonsense energy policies using all sources of energy. As an American in America I miss today truth, common sense and meritocracy in the USA of my youth. Our US politicians today, both parties, are living in an echo chamber of their own making, believing we as a nation can only be ruled by one party lib or con and the other is inconsequential to be destroyed, so we live in a divided nation and as old Abe said, “a nation divided cannot stand”. Young lady whatever you do make us all proud, go forth multiply, make this a better more productive and prosperous world, seek truth and thrive for justice for all. That’s a good start for your long life and career from this video! My two cents on the matter, China is in it to win it in worldwide commerce and for possessing most of the world’s resources but with 1.5 billion citizens and mouths to feed they need the CCP. If for a second they become as divided as my America, it can all come down like a stacked house of cards.

You know, that time America and The Soviet Union were spying on eachother? Having all Americans know the pledge was a mix of hyper-patriotism to discourage people from switching sides, and it was a way to weed out spies. If someone didn't know the pledge, they might be a spy.

It's more patriotism than indoctrination. No one sings the national anthem or salutes the flag at schools in the USA. However, most states do have requirements for schools to recite the 'pledge of allegiance', but students don't have to actually recite it if they don't want to. The USA is a fairly young country in comparison to other countries, especially in comparison to European countries, so many people still feel the patriotism from when the USA fought for it's independence. Not to mention the patriotism for other reasons, such as the USA being the most powerful nation in the world and having more freedoms than most other countries, such as freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom from religion.

I think anyone who is serious about studying Marx also needs to study the "free market" philosophers. I assume most schoolchildren who live in communist countries probably don't get a deep background in liberalism. Liberalism is the philosophy, according to Marx, that failed the working classes. It is important to understand both sides of that argument. It is odd that education in capitalist countries emphasize the failure of communism while communist countries do the opposite. That's quite a dialectical relationship.

Don't you realize China did that in practice? In theoric conversations, yes some may praise the socialist ideas and be groupies of Karl and Mao but in practice, China became a blend of socialism and capitalism, left and right hand working together, it can not be cataloged as one or the other, try!. The country is always trying to pick and apply the working parts of each system. China is ultra-capitalistic and it is visible, it has a free market approach in the middle-high to low levels of its economy, only when a company grows too much that could negatively impact the well-being of thousands to millions of people, then the state can intervene if needed (not always)... it is a Capitalism with a leash. Without those state interventions, when companies generated troubles, Ponzi schemes, or massive layoffs, China could have collapsed a few times just in the past 2 decades, but it didn't and it won't. I think for the sake of the Western audiences' understanding of what China is actually doing, they should rebrand the Communist Party as... Whatever Works Party. ¨In China you can not change the Party but you can change the policies¨... an old saying that every Chinese knows.

@bonaudi Yes. I understand your greater point. I was referring to a specific point in this video where Anming is debating a student in one of her classes. She says she opened with a statement to the effect of "the free market distributes goods most efficiently" and her counterpart had no answer to that. I was wondering why someone raised in China and having an all Chinese education would not know how to answer that. I think it is because we are raised in our individual systems. Until Anming came along this Chinese student had never met someone who was gung-ho free market. I think the same thing would occur if a die-hard Marxist-Leninist went to the USA and said something to the effect of "state run agencies and price controls are the most efficient form of goods distribution." Someone like Milton Friedman would be able to counter that argument, but an undergraduate may struggle to articulate why that statement is incorrect, or at least incomplete.

@@sfukuda512 I could have had a chat of 3 hours dropping her facts about how bad is that "efficient" distribution of the free market, the sweet spot is in the middle of both systems and that's what China has been experimenting (still a WIP but with visible results). A silence from the student doesn't mean she is right or that the student has not faced a counter-argument before. We don't know who he /she was or how capable to answer to pressure he or she was. It is a misconception that all the Chinese are "brainwashed" or can not have an adult unbiased argument because they grew here (We grow brainwashed and have our own biases too in the West but many can break free from that). I'm a foreigner but lived in China for decades and have amazing political conversations with hundreds of Chinese, old and young (including my wife). You can find chineses within the whole spectrum of ideologies in China, Fudan and specifically her college might be more leaning towards hardcore communist ideas, because most of the alumni will finish working in the government if they do well, but you can pick Sun Yat-Sen University and find more liberal ideas there, or any other. In China the dialog and exchange of polarizing ideas exist everywhere, but most of the consensus and collectivism wins. China accepted the free market idea back in 1979 and the vast majority of Chinese is aware about its good parts and its bad parts... that's why the commi parti interventionism never gets much questioning, they don't have to suffer the bad part we suffer in the west if they fix the situations on time... They won't always agree with the policies but they know they can change them gradually with consensus, the Chinese also agree with the concept of Democracy (believe it or not) but they explain it in that way... stability, security and prosperity for everyone to grow within your own capabilities, but nobody should be let down to benefit a few (still a WIP). Read the Chinese constitution it's all written there since 1980. Cheers!
