Another home run with this one Ben. Thanks for bringing Prof Boer and his book to the program.

I am old enough to remember when a lot of the West was social democratic with the utilities and resources owned by the people for their benefit and development.The wealthy corporate sector has seized those sectors with privatisation and used them as an exorbitant means of rent extraction which has left us in debt and a negative birth rate because too much of peoples income is extracted leaving none for creating a family unit.A system that cannot create a healthy future generation is a dead society, which the form of cruel USA capitalism that has been foisted on us in the West has created.

Excellent show, Ben. Keep up the amazing work. 🙏

The western obsession with having many political parties that say somewhat different things but all do the same is so weird, demented, and telling.

This episode really nailed it, the world should talk more about the Chinese system and take cues from it.

Thanks Ben
My country could learn a lot from the Chinese system
Our system is totally flawed
My leaders are inept inexperienced unqualified and not capable of handling the positions they hold

[PatIreland]

Great segment, thank you Ben! Really interested in learning more about China's system.

This is the type of videos Americans need to watch before they think going to war with China is a just cause.

As of now, China has already overtaken Japan to be the biggest auto exporters in 2023 1st quarter.
One thing you guys haven't addressed was the western propaganda about the so called Mao being a "murderer to his own people." I have researched that 15+ years ago and found out it was all lies & even US government official figures showed there wasn't any significant drop in population during the 60s and your World Bank graph of life expectancy of China @10:57 during the same period further support my findings then. Nonetheless, it was a very tough Chinese period as China was heavily sanction by the US led West as well as Russia forcing China to pay back its debt. Hence the great leap forward was introduced by Mao's government trying to increase productivity to address such issues. But like many countries such as Cuba, Venezuela & the like, people was struggling not because of their government being incompetent but was a direct result of US led sanctions. So if anyone was murdering people, it would be those in Washington DC.

This was excellent! I've only recently begun to hear about debates going on between people in China that take the form of written commentary that is readily available for everyone to read & issue their own comments. WOW! Can you imagine how different life in USA would be if we had this? Yes, of course we've been taught to consider debate as adversarial. If we could learn that through discussion & debate new perspectives can open up leading to new, previously unknown solutions, our culture could grow up! It isn't about "being right" but honestly offering your best thoughts & then LISTENING to what others contribute. Some will posit a different or even contradictory view, others might embellish your view, leading you to see your ideas from a larger perspective. This is not only "democracy" but fabulous collective learning through individual ideas!

[ THE QUESTION OF HARMONY IN CHINESE SOCIETY ] - I watch chinese videos every day - and one of the things that fascinates me - if how is it possible for so many thousands to intermingle each and every single day in such an [ Absolute Harmonious Manner ] - Thanks Prof. Boer - Now I know - A 1000- thanks

Ben 😊 thank you very much - this is from my sister. She loves your work 🤩

[truefranck]

I've always been impressed by the way the Chinese government developed so quickly and lifted many of it's people out of poverty. Now Chinese are one of the people that travel the most for tourism, business, & leisure. Very impressive 👏💯.

Hello - Is it possible the Prof. Boer can be on Once Each Month - His knowledge is invaluable - and should be more widely expressed - Please

[laogong]

Thanks Ben and Roland. This is a one stop attitude corrective and must watch stream for all westerners that have neither been to China or experienced life outside of their own culture.
I left my own culture over 40 years ago, lived several years in China in late "wild" 1990's and spent many months in China since 2000. I found this stream exteamly illuminating and confirming.

[giovannigentile]
