Chinese Economics Thread

No, I don't trust government-controlled media in China more than the US lame stream media. Not for a nano-second. Whatever faults US media have, and we could document legions of them, they enjoy freedom of press protection enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution, and that makes all the difference.

No the US media are controlled by an elite group who has the money to manipulate the law into their favor. Documenting and enjoying whatever "freedom of press" won't change their behavior and attitudes against China and we can see it everywhere on the news. Why do you think Muslim American and African American had such a distaste and distrust of the system lately?

Xi Jinping and his cadres are a lot smarter and more practical than the last and current US administrations to pull it through that I can say.

Agreed. It's a shame the world doesn't appreciate just how competent China's meritocracy is. The PRC government is probably the most competent in the world.

My guess is you'll have no problem seeing reports of poor goods and services in China's own media.

China manufactures both high end and low end products. Everything from dollar store stuff to the latest iPhone and Intel chips.

So it is pretty ridiculous to claim that Chinese products are poor quality.

Yep, how else could they be able to bring hundreds of millions of Chinese out of poverty and another hundred million moving up to middle status.

Yeah but it's only the low end stuff that the US mass media keeps on trying to perpetuate that China is nothing but a cheap product producer, not knowing that the high tech gears that they are using to typed and printed those articles and words are made in China. OH...the irony.

If you're trying to point out flaws in the lame stream media, you'll have to get in line behind me. I have deep contempt for the liberal press and I share General William Tecumesh Sherman's attitude on what to do with them. The US media is inbred, agenda-driven, and untrustworthy, and I don't trust them to tell me the time of day. But, I choose it over the PRC Communist Party-controlled media any day, and it's not even close.

Than you have to accept whatever they say about China is true than. Other wise there is no other media forces in the world capable of challenging that kind of thinking. Numbers do counts. I trust the Chinese media because they have a POV that I will hardly found in the US media.

The PRC, under the CCP, achieved the greatest feat of human rights improvement in the history of humankind by raising 800 million people out of extreme poverty (UN definition of the term). It doesn't get enough credit for that, because it doesn't fit the Neo-Con and Liberal Interventionists mantra only democracy could do good for people.

However, China is still majority-poor as there's only about 300 to 400 million "middle class" citizens, depending on who you ask. Bottom line is there's a reason Xi Jinping set "moderately prosperous" society by 2021 as a goal, and it's because he wants to make more Chinese citizens into middle class so that they'd support the CCP.

Yeah of course wouldn't a more prosperous nation and more more middle class people would get behind those that were in charge of them? It doesn't matter what kind of government system or types of party one nation's has, it's all depended on the leadership and groups of leaderships cooperating and working together to achieve the goal of a more happier and healthier life for all. I think the more middle class China has the better it will be for them, meanwhile the US seems to be SLOWLY going the opposite direction of losing more middle class people to support their government.

I don't have to accept what the lame stream media say to believe them over PRC-controlled news organs on a case by case basis. I also reject the notion just because news media supplie a specific point of view that I like, it's more trustworthy. The truth is probably out there somewhere, living among medias of US, China, India, Vietnam, Japan, EU, Russia..., etc. No one is pure as the driven snow, and everyone has an agenda. Caveat emptor is the key.
