Aside from the lack of personal freedom under CCP, curiously I learned that certain poll show over 80% of Chinese expressed satisfaction with CCP's rule and performance; given that over 650 millions had been lifted out of poverty. China aspires to re-emerge as the pre-eminent society on earth. It appears Mr. Xi and the CCP is making progress in achieving its goal, under its One Belt One Road initiative.

unfortunately the Chinese prof is a poor public speaker... very strange as he should be very good at public speaking as a prof... his voice explodes into the mic and he stumbles too much... this is the problem with a lot of these chinese speakers... they have good information but cannot deliver properly so it's hard for Audience to digest the info.
