The Chinese believe that solving poverty will solve many social problems, such as deteriorating security, racial problems, extremist ideology, education for all, etc. Eliminating poverty will help the country's peace and stability
I read a quote that said the real threat of china is not itself but it's rapid success that intrinsically challenges the failures of US systematic institutions. So in other words china is projecting more and more clearly what is wrong in the US.
Hey! My name is Erin, I'm an ambassador for the Borgen Project, a Seattle-based non-profit dedicated to fighting global poverty. I’m writing to you today to ask for your help in defending the poor by protecting the International Affairs Budget. It supports critical development and diplomacy programs around the world. Programs funded by the International Affairs Budget create U.S. jobs by opening new markets to American businesses. These programs also protect our national security by fighting terrorism and preventing conflicts. I was hoping you could talk about this issue in one of your videos to spread awareness about protecting this funding. By going to https://borgenproject.org/ and entering some info, any constituent can send out emails to their congresspeople asking them to protect the budget, and it won’t take more than two minutes. Can you please ask your followers to email their leaders in support of the International Affairs Budget? Thank you for your time and your dedicated fight for equality.
Sure Jan.
Yes. China eradicates extreme poverty because those under that strata are already dead.
China has many green initiatives too!
Please change your name, it makes me think you are fake 🙁
seems China has it right: fix poverty and you fix what got them there. The economy is doing and going in the right direction. What up USA (Trump)???
It is all the embedded sour grapes that stupefy the ignorant public!
What this dude fails to understand is the reason for China's success is the US is running a massive trade deficit importing a lot of China's output.
Look one level up from where you're looking and see what the real driver of global growth is.
You all need to watch China uncensored YouTube channel if you want to know the truth about China
My take of Globalization… seems good, but vastly unprepared in it's undertaking.
NORTH AMERICANS AND ISRAELI MEEKNESS HAS BENEFITS.
But, there have been unforseen circumstances, ie, RUSSIA MEDDLING IN EVERYTHING, WITHOUT STANDING.
Chinese COMMUNISTS whom have done nothing but create an ORWELLIAN THUMBSCREWZ deeper since a grotesque elucidation on THEIR HUMANITY of Tianamen Square. NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE WW2. NOTHING.
NOW WE ARE DEFYING ISLAMOPHILIA AMIDST OUR GOVERNING of PLUNDERING HUMANS.
THE POLICING HAS BECOME EVERMORE DANGEROUS AND COSTLY … BECAUSE THE COLD WAR CHANGED PLAYERS.
What rubbish are you talking about? China is leading the way to the oceans depletion and earth's resources. Are you short sighted? Or, are you uneducated? I don't know where you got this fantastic "pluck-out-of-thin-air" idea of how wonderful China is? Have you forgotten what they took islands in South East Asia which doesn't belong to them? Spreading their gigantic appetite far and wide and bulldoze every one who stands in their way! Stop praising China, they were guilty of terrorism in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, etc. You guys are talking absolute stupidity! And, if you're genuine, you'd tell no more lies. China really is bankrupt! How can the people earn little could borrow so much? China also have over spent year after year.
US #1 mass murder country. US #1 prison country. US #1 homeless country. US #1 warmonger. US #1 Drug epidemic. Thug government and nation of ignorant dumb people = USA
China surpassed US years ago. US has nothing but guns now over China which China will gain over US. It's only matter of time. US can't compete.
The people of China are desperate to live in Western Christian democracies. Know I'm right.
China leads the way in running over children in the street and walking by the dead body without any concern. RRNN must be a Chicom operation.
Few percent of population control 90% of the country wealth in capitalist world. Whereas China state control economy allows capitalism to function. The behaviour of the capitalists are dictate & monitor by the state.
China invests in its population – excellent public education, affordable higher education, increasingly good public health.
Socialism must be experimented with in the US whatever their conditioning about it was in the past.😊
China is an evil wicked country that punish its citizens for their religious beliefs.
The rural areas of China are where things are still really rough
Extreme poverty? Lol
I think this is the best deeds China ever did to the world. China worths two thumb up! But Western news media especially USA mainstream news media demonize China with all their Cold War mentality full blew. They brain-washed many Americans and turned them into WW3 lovers and butchers.
The American people must indeed understand that an arms race with China will not be beneficial for the US and in the long-term China will definitely win it and it will deplete the US' resources. So it is not in their own best interests at all. It will negatively affect their own living standards and is unsustainable. There is possibility at all of the US winning an arms race with China.

I thought capitalism was responsible for lifting the world out of abject poverty lol
Hopefully in foreseeable future the West especially the hegemonic US can see China in better light and get rid of the white supremacy mentality.
Well, Chinese are very hard working people
Why the Africans don't do that ?
chinese love peace and harmony.. not like western
Mark is a true economist and columnist who is willing to speak the truth about the contributions from the Chinese government in the global eradicating extreme poverty. Donald Trump is wasting his time to promote his American First policy which has only created more problems with the other countries in the world and lost all alliance support. Just imagine that if you are not an American, will you take the shit from Donald Trump?
The trade war between China and America is not going to have a happy ending for the American. The longer it takes the longer that the American people are going to suffer. The Chinese government can only take a fair trade agreement with the Trump's government, nothing unfair will be taken.
The American should not peak a fight with the Chinese. It will only make all Chinese in the world to work together and it is an unstoppable force for rising of the Dragon to help the world to become a better world with it's one belt one road policy.
It is the only hope of humankind to the way in eradicating extreme poverty.
This is kind of Real News about China is rarely seen in western media.
Thank you for pointing out that the upward economic mobility in the last 40 year has happened mostly in China and NOT the rest of the world. This has been a major shift of production out of the west to this one country, China. I wish however, you would have also mentioned that most of the "wealth" transfer ( the Nixon Kissinger policy) has gone to the upper 1% of the rich.
I think the US GDP is over stated by about 40%. The US Gdp per head is already 40% higher than that of Germany, the most productive major economy in Europe. I just cant see how the US GDP per capita can be higher than Germany. I believed the US growth rate has been faked for many years, also due partly to different ways of adding GDP numbers.
Remember when 9 trillion dollars disappeared from the federal reserve? Where is that accountability?
IMAGINE, cooperation instead of confrontation between China and the United States, what a wonderful world it would be. Of course, Israel would need to come on board.
Telling truth is a tough job sometimes
China is only one of the country in the world that genuinely care for its population at large.
we're so happy that more people know China more.
