Conversations With History: Mark Leonard China

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Mark Leonard, Executive Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, for a discussion of the ideas that are influencing the domestic and foreign policy debates in China. Through a careful examination of what Chinese intellectuals have to say on topics such as democracy, economy, and international relations, Leonard finds distinctive Chinese worldviews. The West must understand the contours of these debates to effectively address China's rise because they offer important insights into how China will use its enormous power to shape world order in the twenty-first century.

Leonrad is objective,he is more of an academics and have studied the system very well,so he is just talking about it.

Experts always agree that China is empowering small nations in South America,Africa and Middle East from the exploitating grip of the USA and it cloonies.Africa thanks China,India,Brazil and other nations that are competing with the West for this liberation from Colonial blood sucking Western Businesses and government.

It's all about freedom. Chinese need money to flee & bridge back. They go back for more people so when it is successful, they feel free and safe. Two kinds of corruption, society & gov't feed each other but nobody wants toppling gov't because they all know strong leadership is important for people who cannot leave. Increasingly, gov't also wants to push young people out for such phenomena so extreme sectors exist but nobody regards them intelligent. They want Africa and Siberian can do the same.

What the Westerners are thinking in their mind?

To each and every one of the Chinese common people, money is more important than shaping the world~
