How Western Failures Are Fueling China’s Rise

[@niahma3494]

As a Singaporean who lived in Australia, its not that the West is failing. But certainly when crisis arise Chinese people solve it with brutal efficiency while Westerners become armchair philosophers to debate human rights and governmental systems. Still baffles me, if there is a fire in your apartment you put it out right, but Westerners would spend time debating where the fire came from while criticising their roommate's way of life, who may or may not have accidentally started the fire.

[@JDied1]

You got it right. Talk is cheap. We create our own problems then blame it on others. As long as we can blame someone else, we do not have to do anything but talk about it. We are waiting for that someone else to solve the problem.

[@九州青云]

And later it turns out the fire started from their own stove.

[@vegamoonlight]

@@九州青云 and they keep on arguing still, while seeing their house being burned down because they could not anymore extinguish the fire. Then after the house turned to embers and ashes, they will still continue arguing and blaming. Having freedom of speech really makes many people idiots. And that's why the old adages such as 'Silence is golden' and 'Walk the Talk' remain more valuable.

[@joeten4817]

Democractic systems have its flaws. But if I had to choose between a democractic vs a communist system, I still choose democracy. Have freedom of speech is priceless. Having you voice heard and the freedom to choose is more valuable and imo overcomes the democracy’s inefficiencies and shortcomings.

People like to argue that the virus heavily affected the United States and therefore it must be a bio weapon from China but we have to remember that the first people to be hit by COVID-19 is the Chinese themselves.

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.

One of the things I hear that’s commonly repeated by western media is how the cultural revolution and agriculture reforms were an economic failure for China. While if you are judging from the economic perspective, that is true. But, that is where the point is missed. The point of the reforms weren’t to make China rich at the time, it was to change the culture of bourgeoisie and elitism to “re-set” the nation together so it wouldn’t grow apart, so people were United in mind, spirit, and actions. Money wasn’t on their mind, because that wasn’t important for the whole at the time. It was not about the individual but creating a new culture. This wasn’t just communism that caused this but they were searching for this new culture since the early 1900s with the decline of the Qing Dynasty, and inability of the old system from protecting Chinese peoples and lands. It’s hard to interpret another system if you don’t understand the history and context. Every analysis I hear from the west is from the Western perspective and applying western understandings and their own beliefs onto China. That in itself is a fallacy.

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.
