Calvin Lin

At this point it’s not about Communist propaganda or failure in democracy, it’s how humans need to realize that to overcome this pandemic, a collective human effort from all parties is required. It is true that China and the US are two states that have very different cultures and histories, but that should not justify people to allow them to use unfavorable rhetoric against other people and calling them propaganda. If you seriously cannot put the bias to Communism, CCP, or China aside, just consider that the Chinese are also humans (if extremists wish to point some of them are not humans, then let’s take one more step back and say that they are biologically humans) who also want to live through this pandemic. This is a time when extreme nationalistic sentiments will rise, which makes the unity of global citizens striving to create a better future even more important.

Compare to Chinese government, US adminstration is the truely artist of covering up and misleading in this pendemic.

The centre government of China lockdown the city and mobilized all chinese to take a fight against this virus, while USA stood aside and laugh and did nothing for its people.

I remember when I subscribed to this channel years ago it was a bastion of intellectuals giving their thoughts on topics of either utmost importance or not so urgent, but it was always interesting. Sadly, for the past few years the quality of the orators and topics has gone down considerably, to the point I rarely clicked on a video, though always stayed around in case the channel ever returned to being what it once was.
Now I see that this channel has truly gone off the deep end. In a time of social unrest, with immense frustration with the CCP forking off the blame to anyone and everyone that isn’t them, and desperately trying to clean themselves of the blood on their hands, TED comes out and mindlessly regurgitates CCP propaganda, basically flipping the entire world off.
You people are trash. The CCP has enough puppets around the world, and TED is just another one of them.

It is so funny & sad to look at the comments area, so many bias, ignores here watching TED….TED is the place to discuss all sort of areas & problems and free of speech, just look at how many double standards are you here comments about CCP and unsubscribing, where is your so called free of speech? Where is your so called democracy??? Here is my answer to many of those. This kind of mindset is wrong, you can’t expect every culture have to follow western’s system, yes Taiwan did well during the pandemic, but it has nothing to do with its political system, you can’t put every success to its political system, in the other hand, Taiwan has developed way much slower and divided since it started general election, there are so many contraries (Iraq, lots South America etc) actually went backwards since they started the election. Second, what is the really democracy??? Just base on votes? Look at what America doing right now, extremely divided society, incompetent leader etc…every system has its both side, the most important part is not whether or not people can vote, it is how well the governor is, how much the governor care about their people and their country, how well the governor can improve the living environment to their people ( infrastructure, wealth, health etc) lastly, China didn’t fail fighting coronavirus, you are watching TED which means at least you had basic education, which means you know unless you see yourself or really go to the place, otherwise you can’t judge base on one side bias, non-ethics media/press report.

standing against government is not the way to show the spirit of freedom even if in a situation like this in America. Countries which have posed strict lockdown measurements have brought pandemic undercontrol. Its not the question about whether ppl in East or West would pursuit their rights recklessly or even brain deadly, its more about ppl in which countries can make more rational choices. For everyone, government itself is just a tool, not a parent, do not blend it with the concept of individual ideas.

Other commentators (this time credible ones) completely disagree with this propagandist ocular fleece that claims everyone in China is amazingly socially responsible and happy to live under a dictatorship.
See the following linked discussion with a group of authoritative speakers:
Cited are a widespread absence of any sense of social responsibility whatsoever, leading to a comprehensive culture of authority evasion such that the moment lockdowns were suddenly imposed, there were mass exoduses to airports etc contrary to edicts.
Think of the power to swarm over social media presented by an administration with a headcount this high. Expect “5000 years old delighted to comply blah blah blah”
This talk was just one in several hundred lined up on the podcast playlist that entices so much more than this forum… but wow; the tedious diversion to discussion land had to be made. This sort of crud just can’t go unremarked.

It’s possible to be socially responsible without being forced to it kicking and screaming. In fact unless we teach our kids higher level motivation our species will not survive this kind of assault. The downside for regimes like China’s: intrinsic motivation based on reflection and evaluative thinking are not very compatible with rule by fear.

I think the obedient side of Chinese people are originated from their nationalism to the government rather than from the traditional Chinese values.
People of China are educated to love their government when they were very young. If you look at the Classical Chinese literature, their teachings are not so much different from the western/ universal value, not to mentioned large number of Chinese scholars are prosecuted during Cultural Revolution.

May 27, 2020 at 1:26 am
It is clear that the Chinese Government trying to cover up at the initial stage of pandemic. Whistle blowers were prosecuted. Also some people from Wuhan have fled to other countries 1 or 2 days before Wuhan was locked down by taking medicine that can lower their body temperature. It’s all very clear and you can even these facts on the Internet.
Chinese government now trying to wipe out this part of history, similar to those part of history they don’t want to face/ let people know. In Jan or beginning of Feb, even the official media from Chinese government called the virus as “wuhan virus” and now they pretty much let the whole world call it differently/ forget the origin. That’s the power of China now .

This woman takes a crackpot fringe group of Americans, and makes a blanket statement. She talks about how superior China’s “parent” is by isolating their “children”, yet she knowingly continues to have a dinner with a flu victim, and then travels abroad. Not exactly a “wise Chinese” isolate the sick child mentality. The vast majority of Americans have stayed in their homes. When the lower class income people were running out of money, and businesses going bankrupt larger groups spoke out. Concerning her superior Chinese health system, and our bad attitudes, she is full of it. China has open air markets with live animals and their feces. Conditions westerners would consider grossly unsanitary. These markets were reopened despite protest. China has repeatedly infected the world with pandemics. You don’t keep company with a flu victim for hours, and not expect to get the flu.

The whole point is that ‘freedom’ is subjective and there are degrees of it. No-one is truly free to do whatever they want anywhere on earth as we all trade some freedom for security, and people have different opinions on what amount of freedom/security people should have or trade. That’s the difference that she tries to explain between a society like the US compared with China. Regardless of what you believe is the right amount of freedom, others from different cultures will believe differently. The Chinese have never experienced freedom as US citizens have, and US citizens have never experienced the other side either, hence why it’s so easy to misunderstand each other. Sure, you may look at the other side and say ‘no thanks’ but the fact is both interpretations have their own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to governing society and dealing with issues.

I gladly live through the challenges that America is facing today, I still have my rights to freely speak, and live however which way I want as long as it doesn’t infringe on another person’s human rights. Our country was founded on these rebellious principals to live and let live. I don’t think societies that value the collective over the individual understands or appreciates the importance that our melting pot in the USA puts on individual liberty.

Do you view TED so as to live in a bubble? Very American to find a camp and stay in it – especially now. What happened to intellectual debate? How about arguing for the side to which you are vehemently opposed?
If the idea of moving more “toward the collective” seems like propaganda we may need to look at “American Individualism” also as propaganda – because it is. If you think we each do it all on our own, congratulations on being inculcated.
Lastly, if you know anything about Huang, it is that she is highly intelligent, creative and procative – with millions of followers globally. She is a global citizen, schooled in the US (literally) and has lived/lives in Europe and China. That we are debating this, is likely HER goal, not that of anyone else.

The explanation of 乖 (Guai) misses the main and most important part which is agreeing and behaving in compliance with a set accepted virtues. 乖 (Guai) is never used when someone is being compliant to or obedient to evil. There is an accepted sense of what is right within society and 乖 (Guai) can only be applied within that sense of what is virtuous and right. Though in this context, I think she misused that word 乖 (Guai) in an attempt to explain the greater sense of collective responsibilities within that society.

I think we do not need a debate about whose government is right who is wrong since we all know China and USA, we are not have the same history, when Chinese people has been suffered by a variety of war and invade, USA people live much better than Chinese, especially in 1937.
here are the problems, the Chinese government has already control under the case in coronavirus,the cases number keeps going down and the city is recovering activity and children come back to school. no doubt that the CCP system saved 1.4 billion people. but we still have some mistake in the beginning pandemic period, like the WUHAN government try to hide some information, DR.Li has to receive a warning by local police. that is a mistake, But for now, the relative officer has already deposed,Dr li and other relative doctor to award the hero label. Also, relative law has further refined.
what about the USA government? yes we all know they belive freedom and democracy is everything, that’s right and reasonable,but this kind of the system will cause no any officer has been deposed, the results only let civilian bear. Also, their officer always said that “they did a good job, very good job, blame china, do not blame me”
But the problem is the cases still were high and dead rate closely 100 thousand people even their officer call on people try to use Disinfectant destroy coronavirus.
Is that really for democracy or just for vote? transparency and freedom speech is indeed a good solution, but it seems like the USA people still could not stop relative officer crazy words and behavior.

No, “乖 ” means more, it also means this kid knows what’s wrong or tight. And obey the righteous rules, you just categorized it into slavery meanings. If a person do whatever things that other people ask him to do, it’s not “乖 ”, it “流氓”.

I appreciated this video as we are global community, although ruled differently … when it comes to human health we all need to care #behuman #bekind oh my fellow Americans – you need China because you live for your knock off prices at Walmart, Target and other ‘so called great American Stores’ that really destroyed Small Town American business because you wanted it cheaper. Great job TED!!

China nicely silenced and killed people that brought the virus into public knowledge (e.g. the doctor who found the virus first). Then continued to lie to the whole world about the rate of infections and the seriousness of it all.
CCP shills are cancer and TED is blind to it all.

Let’s see the results. It is too hurry to say this video is propaganda. We can see how many people dies, and the situation in each of the country we live in. Shut up and let’s see.

In every situation, there is a battle between collective safety and individual freedom. However, is there a scenario where you can have lots of both?

Fundamentally different values that are not compatible, socialism/ communism are anti freedom, don’t expect Ted trash to say that.

The world should never learn from China or North Korea about how they control the spread of virus, but they should learn something from Taiwan. Taiwan really made an excellent job in containing virus.

CCP spends hundreds of billion dollars to bribe companies and organizations around the globe, the whole world is censored now, the next step of CCP is to invade the whole world and making Xi the emperor of the earth.

Another Chinese puppet trying to defend China. Let me tell you lady about the Chinese culture. Their government is arrogant. Not willing to take responsibility of such a massive human tragedy caused by their lack prompt actions. No one can believe on a country where government controls each and every move of people, media, internet and every other entity.

Very few scientists know how the virus develops and yet we are talking about democracy here and hope the virus goes with the stupid pattern the democracy voted for.

VALUES!? No, what the Chineses have is a Dictatorship!
That way is “easy” to control crowds… AND information. There is NO WAY China has ZERO cases. I have been there, I know.
Also, “Guai” is just obedience… And no father should “lock up” their kids. Dr. Lee was absolutelly killed by Chinese authorities.
I eard enough… I can’t believe TED actually posted this.

This is what an intellectual society should do: listen to different voices. It’s sad that many commentators simply dismiss the opinion just because it comes from a source you don’t WANT to believe. One of the biggest human congnitive flaws that prevent us from understanding each other.

Is she kidding? In China you’ll do what the state says or you’ll “disappear.” It’s about fear. Listening to your elders has got nothing to do with it.

I would like to kindly remind people commenting here that you too have been brainwashed and is also part of a propaganda attack by YOUR government also. On the internet there seems to be this high horse / holier than thou attitude that the “West” is so pure and good. I would ask everyone of you to look at your government closely also, and see pass what is presented to you.
Additionally, I would also like to remind others that the Chinese people come from a different cultural background, and are also at a different stage in their economical growth. With all these factors, then I would ask you to look at the history of economical growth of the west at a similar stage to China currently.
With the two points above, I hope to provide further points of discussion and thinking, instead of this “we are right your are wrong” attitude.
