Shocking Truth About China Told by an American | Cyrus Janssen

[@jayceh]

Chinese call Trump "建国" which gives him the title as "nation builder" where the nation being built up is China. They love him and his policies, because he united the various industrialists and provincial leaders to finally work wholly on domestic independence.

[@jamesho8820]

Thanks Cyrus for your efforts to convey an accurate description of today's China. I'm an ABC and semi-retired MD who has been to time innumerable times to China over the last 40 years. Most recently been to China 3x in the last year and can personally attest to the phenomenal changes and the overall satisfaction among friends and relatives about the situation in China. I understand and speak Mandarin which gives me a good understanding in the field. The economy has hit a downturn; however, the gov't is taking measures to assist it. It is NOT the dystopic Orwellian nightmare as portrayed by the Western media narrative. I will be in Chengdu in March with my 88 y/o mother, brother and sister-in-law to seek out ancestral sites, previously difficult to access but today with high speed rail a breeze!

[@kevinjohnson9533]

China's great advantage is the government's ability to INTERVENE into the economy. There is no country able to weather economic problems like China because the government can act in the interest of the nation as a whole. No country in the West can do this because in the West its the wealthy capitalist class whose interests are first and the economy and people will be sacrificed for their interests.

Without Trump's first term, China would not have been able to achieve firm industrial upgrading. Previously, China would have purchased high-tech products from the United States. Now, China sees the opportunities brought by its own industrial upgrading. Trump's second term is about to begin, and I think more interesting things may happen.

I have mainland Chinese students completely duplicitous in terms of when they are in Singapore or Malaysia and when they're back in China. It comes down to something very simple in the end. Why are people afraid of the truth? Censorship is one way to hide from revealing things we don't want to reveal. So the bottom line question is can you trust a country which censors so excessively as China? What have they got to hide? If you hide information and control information that means you cannot ascend to higher levels of human development which desires freedom to question, critically as well as to innovate from diversity. How can a country or society innovate when information is controlled. While they have a huge reputation for copying as well.

President Trump will help make China greater still.

[@PHubb]

The US and Western European allies have exploited Africa for hundreds of years and this has crippled development in these countries. And I’m talking about human development, that is education, healthcare, housing, good jobs, infrastructure which is what the BRICS and China’s belt and road is bringing to African nations. China is not about exploiting Africa and Latin America but helping them develop. For instance Peru and China just opened the largest port in the western hemisphere which will greatly help the development of these countries. China goes to a poor country and says we want to help you build hospitals, schools, and roads, bridges. The US goes to countries and builds a military base which has nothing to do with development. A US military base is the center of regime change and CIA operations that undermine elected governments and the global south is sick of it. China recently eliminated the debt of 17 African nations. Now that money can go towards development instead of Wall Street banks. Ha HA Biden’s sanctions against Putin and Russia backfired - China and Russia are now closer than ever. BRICs actually called for self determination for Palestine - a single Palestinian state. The US dollar will not “collapse” but it will loose it’s position as the worlds reserve currency. Bretton Woods and the unipolar world dominated by the US and Europe is dead - it’s a multi polar world now which will be much more equal, much more democratic, much less racist, with much less wars.

American can just move production in a less hostile country without fear of technology theft, and hostile trade practices. ASEAN countries are ripe and just waiting & welcoming especially the Philippines.

[@ivybae9906]

@RolandoBarangan-e3k Move production to ASEAN? Do merikans even know China is now the top trading partner of ASEAN and all members of Asean signed RCEP(a regional FTA like NAFTA) with China and already integrated themselves into Chinas global supply chains? Even If merikans manage to move all productions to Asean, these countries still needs to import all kinds of critical materials, machines and equipments frm China to assembly and produce the final products due to their extremely close trading connection and high dependence on China. Let alone Asean is actually in the backyard of China frm a geographical standpoint, merikas effort to move production within Chinese sphere of military influence is literally a laughable joke. Imagine China cuts off all necessary supply to Asean countries to produce merikans goods during wartime, who u gonna ask for help to replace Asean then? This the biggest tragedy of a highly de-industrialized economy like US, u guys always need to count on others(be it China, Asean, or even India)but yourself lol.

They still don't understand that tariffs will be passed on to the consumer.🙄

[@3d4fun96]

Imposing tariffs and levying taxes are two completely different concepts. The former is paid by the product buyers, while the latter is paid by the product manufacturers and sellers. Therefore, retailers only care about making the maximum profit; they need high-quality and low-cost goods, and Chinese manufacturing still holds an advantageous position, thanks to their comprehensive supply chain. They can supply their products to retailers at unchanged prices, who then add a 60% markup to sell to the end users. So, isn't it clear who is really paying for Trump's tariffs?

[@donnychau8578]

It is time for the US leaders to start looking from the inside and learn from their mistakes, and learn from the China. Keeps looking outside and trying to contain other countries that's like when a student got a bad grade and then blamed the teacher. 😊

The US needs to learn China’s ancient wisdom of Daoism. If one insists on going against the Dao, even if things seem to go in the way one wishes in the beginning, eventually things will only backfire in the most unexpected places because it isn’t compatible with the Dao.

[@Darkmatter321]

One thing people forget is that once that Chinese made cup costs 40$, domestic manufacturers will raise their prices to match and even increase that, based on the fact that it's a US made product. Also items that are not imported from China will also see an increase. So US consumers can expect a roughly 60% inflation across the market in the next year or two. that's nothing to be excited about.

[@jonconnor0729]

You're just scaring yourself ijiot. Companies can opt out of tariffed countries as simple as that. If Trump managed to get manufacturing back in the US, that would give its citizen more buying power that it offsets global inflation. Local manufacturing also results to surplus and surplus results to price reduction. The reason why China was able to raise its prices in the Western world is they put surplus in other countries like SEA or Africa.

[@zuiwoshachang]

​@@jonconnor0729 I think what people shouldn't do is underestimating the greed of corporations - Say a China-made cup is $20 while a US-made cup is $30. With 100% tariffs, people expect the China-made cup to be $40 and citizens now go for the US-made $30 cup. But what's stopping the US manufacturer from raising it's price to $38? You're now gonna buy the US-made cup because it's cheaper than the China-made cup, but if you look the big picture you're paying $18 more than the price you could have gotten it pre-tariffs.

What I'm curious is, even if you bring back manufacturing to US, who is going to do the job for the reindustrialization? Let's say like the fastfood worker, worker wants $25 an hour. probably most of the workload goes to machines, and have few peoples employed for the whole factory. With the tariff, let's say you end up with china made goods for $5, and US made goods for $7. but still outside USA, it'll still be $1. And because you can't export those goods because you can't compete in price in the global market, the market will be smaller, so you can't scale it up as much. Then because the stuff made in US is so expensive (small market, expensive cost), the worker scream even more that they can't buy anything. So they demand $30 an hour. gen z worker "I deserve everything" + dudebro MBA "cut cost everything" + shareholder "infinite growth". Probably end up with very expensive yet low quality products.

[@jcchong8238]

Manufacturing will never return to the US because the mentality of US workers are realy backwards. Take the Boeing labour strike. The union actually wanted pension for every worker. In this modern world, where can you still find jobs with pension ? From a welfare perspective, it is fabulous. But the real working world is such a different place now (like it or not). It goes to show how 'backwards' the US really is. Eventually the new contract meted out is increase in pay over 3 years, and the pension was dropped.

As for manufacturing business, this field would be the victims of his "tough policy", because every state has its own main industries and economic problems, in combining whole US, that's the problem of top priority he should start to deal with economic policies, employment, salary, industrial environment improvement and so on. And taking chip manufacturing business for example, US ditched that many decades ago, and Taiwan developed our own tech industry from that moment on base on tech parts assembly industry, and now D.T. said we steal that away from US???!!?!

⛔ US Canada shrinking population is as horrible as SKorea. Plus, the cost of labor and the regulation of clean air, water, soil, and workers' rights will make these products very expensive to sell around the globe. American women better start pumping out AT least 8 babies and let more iLLEGALS into USA. The American workers are spoiled, obese, lazy, sick, drunk, high, triggered, mental deficit, POSTAL, and PRICEY! Who is the USA going to sell their PRICEY INFERIOR goods too? Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa can't afford it!!!! Soon, with BRICS countries will produce their on steal, chips, ev's, etc and FLOOD THE MARKET w/ superior and more competitive pricing!

@@hitthedeck4115 Average Chinese will know the history of the South China Sea Where as the average Filipino does not know the history of their own country , competing claims with China and competing claims they have with other countries. They just know what they are told 👇 Timeline of the South China Sea dispute * It has been claimed by the People's Republic of China on the argument that since 200 BCE Chinese fishermen have used the Spratly islands * Naval forces of the Liu Song dynasty (420-479 CE) patrolled the Paracel and Spratly islands.[5] In the Tang dynasty (618-907 CE), the islands were placed under the administration and authority of the Qiongzhou Prefecture (now Hainan Province).[5] The Chinese administration of the South China Sea continued into the Song dynasty (960-1279 CE).[5] * Archaeologists have found Chinese made potteries porcelains and other historical relics from the Southern dynasties (420-589 CE), the Sui dynasty (581-619 CE), the Tang dynasty, the Song dynasty, the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368 CE), the Ming dynasty (1368-1644 CE) and later eras up to modern times on the South China Sea islands.[5] 1876 - China makes its earliest documented claim to the Paracel Islands[citation needed] 1883 - When the Spratlys and Paracels were surveyed by Germany in 1883, China issued protests. 1887 - In the 19th century, Europeans found that Chinese fishermen from Hainan annually visited the Spratly islands for part of the year, while in 1877 it was the British who launched the first modern legal claims to the Spratlys 1902 - China sends naval forces on inspection tours of the Paracel Islands to preempt French claims.[28] Scholar François-Xavier Bonnet argued that per Chinese records, these expeditions never occurred and were backdated during the 1970s.[29][30] 1907 - China sends another naval force, this time to plan for resource exploitation.[28] 1911 - The newly formed Republic of China, successor state to the Qing dynasty, moves administration of the Paracel Islands to Hainan,[28] which would not become a separate Chinese province until 1988. 1946 - The R.O.C. established garrisons on both Woody (now Yongxing / 永兴) Island in the Paracels and Taiping Island in the Spratlys. France protested. The French tried but failed to dislodge Chinese nationalist troops from Yongxing Island/Woody Island (the only habitable island in the Paracels), but were able to establish a small camp on Pattle (now Shanhu / 珊瑚) Island in the southwestern part of the archipelago.[37][38][39] The Republic of China drew up The Southern China Sea Islands Location Map, marking the national boundaries in the sea with 11 lines, two of which were later removed, showing the U-shaped claim on the entire South China Sea, and showing the Spratly and Paracels in Chinese territory, in 1947.[28] The Americans reminded the Philippines at its independence in 1946 that the Spratlys was not Philippine territory, both to not anger Chiang Kai-shek in China and because the Spratlys were not part of the Philippines per the 1898 treaty Spain signed with America.[38] 1950 - After the Chinese nationalists were driven from Hainan by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), they withdrew their garrisons in both the Paracels and Spratlys to Taiwan. 1969 - A UN sponsored research team discovers oil under the sea floor of the island group. 1970 - China occupies Amphitrite Group of the Paracel Islands * In 1596, the Spanish Colonial Government declared that each island in the Kalayaan Islands, now known as the Spratly Islands, had Barangay or Barrio status. 1971 - Philippines announces claim to islands adjacent to its territory in the Spratlys, which they named Kalayaan, which was formally incorporated into Palawan Province in 1972. The Philippines President Marcos announced the claims after Taiwanese troops attacked and shot at a Philippine fishing boat on Itu Aba.[ Wikipedia

[@MikeyJJJ]

As a Chinese, I’m sorry but Cyrus is extremely wrong on why the Chinese people prefer Trump. Maybe he’s trying to be diplomatic, maybe he’s trying to polite, I don’t know, but as a Chinese observer who has spent time in China, I cannot believe he genuinely got this wrong. There are 2 fundamental reasons why the Chinese prefer Trump (and to so far as call him a “founding father” - ironically of course): 1) Trump is a business man. The Chinese believes they can strike a deal with him on a personal level, instead of the national level, which means the deals can be separate from each country’s identity and beliefs. 2) Trump will erode America’s position of global leadership. The less the rest of the world (especially Europe and Australia) can be counted on by America to be a part of an international coalition, the more space China has to maneuver on the global stage. Medium and smaller countries will also naturally gravitate to China, given the stability and predictability of the government and system. This has already been demonstrated during Trump’s first term.

@cslewiswardrobemalfunction6758 Tariffs indeed to US advantage, impact is severely on China

[@Nunya_bizness01]

The problem is and what you don’t mention is people in the USA are charged what they can pay. You can make that cup for $1 in China and $4 in the USA. However, Walmart will still charge $25 for the cup. It helps the share holders more than the consumer in the long run. One day, we will not have jobs at all. Then we can’t buy the cup at all. You are an owner that likes a bigger profit at the expense of your own country.

[@cslewiswardrobemalfunction6758]

This is an interesting perspective. I think there is some truth in what you are saying: the US consumer is asked to pay the upper limit of what he is willing to pay already

[@demidollar840]

⁠You are just making up the hypothesis. If you believe Walmart charges $25 for a $1 cup, you can establish a company to import those $1 cups and sell them at $20. You would make a big fortune by doing that. If your claim is true, all I can see is opportunities in the market. Present your evidences instead of whining.

[@vv-cv6ud]

[@cslewiswardrobemalfunction6758]

@demidollar840 i see what your saying here dude: that's the way economics is supposed to work but the working man/woman doesn't go down to Chinatown and buy a $5 cup he goes to Walmart pays $25 and rationalises it by thinking 'it's going to save me time and money shopping once a week in the same place' meanwhile Walmart still only pays $1 or $1.60 with tariff for the cup and pays there workers so poorly that many municipalies have to subsidise them just to go to work. The Walmart execs and shareholders get rich and still buy nice imported things because Americans don't make them

[@demidollar840]

@@cslewiswardrobemalfunction6758 I am saying you could open a store at the next door of Walmart and make a ton of money. If that story was true, you can definitely do that. My question is: are there any evidences supporting the claims? You are just making more assumptions based on the original hypothesis. Are there any evidences like marketing research or statistical reports?

@4:56; if you're saying that Trump is saying these things about China to win votes, isn't that playing politics??(saying whatever you got to just to win including lies he's told?) The business people are the ones tearing up America, and the people let one become President again. As much as some want to keep saying he's not a politician, he's been playing politics from the 1st time he ran for office. He's a business and a politician now, and everyone needs to accept that (He's not your average politician though). He has donors now like Elon Musk and playing the same games other politicians play including telling his base what they want to hear.

[@cslewiswardrobemalfunction6758]

It won't be the government of the West investing in infrastructure it will be multi-national corporations building/ updating things like rail, ports and communications so they can extract the actual commodities (like rare earth minerals for mobile phones) that little bit quicker. In a way this will end up benefiting some Africans as the same highway that is transporting commodities overseas can speed up taking food to markets. Meanwhile the kind of job many of us in the west aspire to will become increasingly irrelevant

[@johnno2377]

policy change is something that China does albeit at times quite slowly but too often in Europe and the USA policies seem more entrenched whilst ruling governments change. I suppose it is a case of no one really wanting to rock the boat in what we often describe as democratic process. On a personal note I feel that the live and let live would go a lot more towards peaceful resolutions than the idea of there are winners and losers. I feel that too often the term winner is so short term as by winning they may well have reduced a market of opportunity that would have had a far better long term benefit.
