The west is not ignorant about China and the Chinese. More specifically, the Anglo-saxons’ resentment against China and the Chinese people is not about ideology, political system, human rights, etc. But it is all about race and the jealousy and fear of China becoming a stronger country and people than them. Even if China is more democratic than most western countries today, the Anglo-Saxons will still try to find faults with and suppress the Chinese people in every which ways because they know only the Chinese people can out compete the Anglo-Saxon race in all areas of humanity.

These provided hundred of millions of Chinese with jobs as well as technology transfers to China! The CCP takes all the credit and says that Western corporations contributed NOTHING to China!

[@Richard-yy8tn]

Okay the problem with this question is not the question itself, but the perspective of the person asking the question. From the start the question is being asked by someone who comes from a very different background and upbringing. One needs to understand and live through a Chinese household upbringing to even understand the threshold of "reppression". To simply put it best Ray Dalio, American billionaire and founder of the largest hedge fund in the world - Bridgewater Associates who spent over 30 years doing business and studying China, has said "The CPC is behaving like a strict parent" and anyone person who grew up in a Chinese home will understand this. Chinese parents are strict as hell, but ultimately they want what's best, and thus why Chinese kids excel academically and generally speaking study shows that Chinese families are one of the most successful families anywhere in the world. You call it repression, the Chinese do not see it as such because of how they are brought up.

[@kiwigamer4552]

Yes, like what the professor said, China has a far more dynamic government in the world. Although the Chinese family living standard is strict, the point is not to abuse or give the child emotional distress but to teach the child about what is right and wrong and discipline, and duty. As a Chinese Hong-longer, I struggle with this with my parents, but my parents are mostly correct and they want me to have a good future. I am so happy to be Chinese and shame on the Western Media and U.S perception of China. 謝謝你。

The best of the best replies by Prof Kishore Mabubani to that attendee’s ignorant and arrogant question - sad to see people of this category around the world.

[@ifthikarsheriff9580]

Excellent reply by a learned statesman and wish there were many more people like Prof Kishore.

If the world is using China as the factory of the world, you would expect more pollution and suffering to have been transferred to China from the rest of the world... So a national measure of green gases is not a fair standard to apply to China.

[@appl2597]

Quote : " So a national measure of green house gases is not a fair standard to apply to China" Yes, and China has 1.4 billion people. It's ridiculous to criticise China for emitting more than the US when they have 4 times their population. A fairer comparison is to look at green house gas emissions per capita. Base on that, the average American is actually responsible for twice as much as the average Chinese. In fact China is not even in the top 20 nations base on per capita emissions. It's so insulting to hear Westerners driving big gas guzzling SUVs, living in their big houses with swimming pools criticising people from developing countries for not doing enough. They are just as hypocritical as those celebrities who fly around on private jets while complaining about climate change.

[@lenomali]

Western hypocrite wanted the world not to use their one man one vote method on pollution issues. The wanted country like China, Africa, India to count the total emmision to compare with them. They wanted to tax poorer country for producing essential goods for their wasteful life. Another round of enslaving third world using their exploitative rule of law. So wake up those NGO fools taking order from uncle Sam.

China needs to lever a carbon tax on the exported goods, then. 😆

Wow! Kishore has never ever been so blunt in an international setting BUT I guess the questioner deserves it, typical illogical and total lack of basis in making those western assertions about China !!!

[@usprotec]

It's funny that so many people have eyes that cannot see and just believe what they hear and read.

[@CalvinK300]

They are mostly westerners who have not visited China before and therefore rely on reports written by other people. Even when they research they do so selectively to fit their preconceived bias or prejudice. I am reminded of this interesting old quote: “The learned give up the evidence of their senses to preserve the coherence of the ideas of their imagination” - Adam Smith.

[@troutstalker4744]

Imo, it's not that they cannot see , it's that many sub conciously choose not to, I suspect this has something to do with racism.
