A restructuring of an economy is always a painful process for one group or another.
When the US government let the capitalists outsource all the union jobs in the rust belt,
that was very painful for millions who lost their standing as middle class and joined the poor.
Today we work in sweatshops earning low wages and no benefits while we drop like flies from opioid addiction.
So yeah, we vote for change, and will continue to vote for change until we get the change we need.

As a Chinese, I have to USA is a great country. But there are some misunderstanding issues lying between two countries. The best way to solve these issues is to open up and build more economical, cutural and educational relationships among citizens. God bless two great countries.

Everyone on this panel should be ashamed of themselves! Valid questions and concerns were completely ignored! The governor of Oregon clearly has the PRC interest in mind.

I think Democracy means people could get what they really want under a specific type of government, and as a Chinese, I think my people have lived in a much better life than any other former communist countries especially Russia , under the leadership of CCP . Since 1978, China is no longer a totally communist country but not a capitalist country either.China is China is who she is, a country with long history, whose system is unique and mostly based on her unique history and traditional culture so maybe we are ruled by CCP but China is not truly communist country.If it make sense to most westerns, why a ''communist country'' embrace capital, globalization and market economy could be easily understood, frankly, in the past 40 years, we have benefited a lot from them and created such an amazing treasure which improves our living qualities a lot that even Chinese Communist Party fall in love with capital.As for how Chinese people think about the ruling of CCP, most attitudes are positive. Now China is a powerful and rich country in the world and that is exactly what we Chinese really want, we support any kinds of party only if it can lead us to a better future.Saying USA has lost the competition with China might be too early, no one can predict what will happen in next few decades.
