#CCP #CPC #100YEARS #trustchina #distrustChina#chinasnewnormal Officially, China's Communist Party is abbreviated CPC. But the West knows it as CCP. As my audience is mostly in the West, I used CCP during my video. China's Communist Party was founded 100 years ago. Why are Chinese celebrating this event, while many in the West believe that the CCP is a danger to liberal democracies and the Chinese population? What is the story behind the achievements of the CCP that makes most Chinese trust that the CCP has the best governance system for China? In the video, I explain why China is very confident in the guidance and actions of the CCP. Full speech of XI Jinping at 100 years CCP anniversary: https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Full-text-of-Xi-Jinping-s-speech-on-the-CCP-s-100th-anniversary 00:00 Why are Chinese celebrating the 100 years foundation of China's Communist Party? Many untold stories from Chinese people about how they think of the CCP reveal why Chinese have confidence in the CCP. 00:41 How did CCP last for 100 years? This achievement came because the CCP has been able to survive in times of turbulence, which the Western media explains more often; but also because of the uniting of China during Mao era and opening up afterwards to become the modern superpower of today. 03:10 Are you getting paid by CCP to share positive news about China? No. I am not getting paid by China, but by Western companies by giving keynotes to large audiences. 04:18 Does the West distrust the CCP? The past five years, the view about China has become ever more negative. The West is trusting China less, and have little faith in the CCP and its words. 04:48 Where does the Western negative view from China come from? The trend has been fuelled by the Trump administration, who revealed very clearly and openly how most Americans are thinking about China. 05:20 Is China an authoritarian regime? The CCP is seen in Washington as an illegitimate non-elected one-party system, where decisions are very secretly. America needs to save Chinese from CCP is the narrative in the US. 07:38 Is China a totalitarian regime? Mike Pompeo said that CCP almost always lie, and that Chinese people are oppressed by China's totalitarian regime led by the CCP. Many politicians in the West claim China and CCP lies, fakes its data, has become a police state and is seriously violating human rights. The main issue is that Chinese feel that the West is holding double standards. 10:15 Is CCP all about staying in power? The West is obsessed with Xi Jinping, and see Communists as being bad and China's military becoming too powerful to keep the world safe. Should we fear China or is it a projection of how the West has been in the past? 12:27 Why is the West distrusting China? Mike Pompeo said we should distrust and then verify. But how can we coexist with China if we distrust China? It is impossible. 12:59 Do Chinese feel China is an authoritarian regime? Chinese have little problem with the meritocratic one-party system as it is most effective and plans better than other governments 14:16 Do Chinese people fear the control of the CCP? China is one of the most data-driven government system, and as such more open than we believe in the West. Chinese are requesting party for more security and control from CCP in their low-trust society of China. Chinese do not fear to speak out, but do it differently and more prudent than in the West - yet results are achieved. 15:35 Do Chinese trust their leaders? Chinese feel the leaders are good intentioned. China is more about confucianism that Communism. China aims for peaceful harmony, which is hardly a bad thing to aim for by CCP. 16:50 Why do Chinese trust the CCP? Why not, is the answer you mostly get. The lives of Chinese people has improved so much over 30 years, that it is hard not to be supportive. Think of literacy rate, mobility, property ownership, food access, entrepreneurship, healthcare, economic wealth, ... 18:55 Did Chinese middle class rise because of CCP? Definitively. 19:29 What is real reason so many Chinese support CCP? Its because of the left-behinds (immigrants and smaller cities) and vulnerable (farmers and seniors) of society that need the CCP to move up in social mobility. What matters for them mostly is education, infrastructure, property, healthcare, food and travel. More people in China trust the government than most governments in the world because of their actions, not words. 25:58 Why are Chinese so confident about what CCP did? CCP helped China get a lot more convenient, provided great infrastructure, helped become an innovation powerhouse and is sharing the vision and dreams of a modern China.
