Westerners still ask the same question like it’s clever:
“Does the rest of the world actually want to be like China? No democracy, repressive on speech and human rights?”
They’re looking at the 21st century with 19th and 20th century glasses.
The assumption is that 1.4 billion Chinese must be suffering under some evil CCP. Black-and-white thinking that doesn’t fit reality anymore.
China’s going to build its own system. It might not match the Western model — and that’s fine by them.
When China was weak and divided, nobody was exporting human rights or democracy to them. The British forced opium on China in exchange for tea.
Western powers seized territory, set up settlements, and burned the Summer Palace. It remains now unrestored as a permanent reminder of history for Chinese to never be blinded by hubris again.
Now the same voices show up acting as saviors:
“Don’t you want a better government? What’s wrong with you?”
The condescension is unreal says Kishore.
China will choose its own path. It may not be perfect in Western eyes, but it’s theirs. Unlike America, they don’t pretend their civilization is a universal model the whole world must copy.
They do what works for China. You do what works for you.
They’re not exporting their system to anyone. No threat. No need to feel insecure about China succeeding on its own terms.
The West needs to drop the savior complex and get used to it.
The 21st century isn’t yours to dictate anymore.
Paraphrasing Kishore Mahbubani answering questions about China in 2020.
President Xi’s "Three Red Lines" Policy will go down as the most graceful, well-managed structural decline of any asset bubble in history.
This is the Housing Correction that Gen Z has been *begging for* throughout the west.
This is what people-focused leadership looks like.
The US GDP in 2020: $21.06T; in 2025: $30.8T
PRC GDP in 2020: ¥101.6T; in 2025: ¥140.2T
The US grew by 46% and Chyna by 38%
In USD, 46% vs 30%!
alas the US also had 29% of cumulative inflation, while Chyna ≈4.5%, so… ≈13% vs 32% "real growth"
You can tell any story with this
✨🇨🇳Xi Jinping:We must not exhaust all the resources passed on to us by previous generations and leave nothing to our children, or pursue development in a destructive way. Clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver.
Tucker Carlson to Sky News:
The UK does not have a democracy.

@MarioNawfal US can killed any people in the world for national security but China can't prosecute their own people for violent their national security. 🤣🤣

BREAKING: JD Vance absolutely slams Netanyahu's government:
Over the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected Israel have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.
The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.
The race that wiped out millions out of hatred because Churchill believed Indians bred like rabbits and didn’t need grain in famine. 3 million died. The race that thought it had the burden to destroy indigenous cultures across the globe in the garb of ‘civilising’ them.
But yes! Least racist! Race or religious superiority was never the motivation. Just pure business, I believe.
Jensen Huang: "When I announced this thing, nobody in the world wanted it.
Except for Elon. He was at the event, and we were doing a fireside chat about the future of self-driving cars. I think it was 2015 at the time. He goes, 'You know what? I have a company that could really use this.' I said, 'Wow, my first customer!'
I was pretty excited about it. And he goes, 'Yeah, we have this company. It's a non-profit company.'
‘and we could really use one of these supercomputers.' So I picked it up - drove it up to San Francisco, and delivered it to Elon in 2016
That place turned out to be OpenAI. 2016. Just a bunch of people in a room"
