having me so in your opinion why has china and still remains to greatest mystery for thinkers and scholars because there's too little interest to get to get behind the mystery in all something stays a mystery if you don't have enough interest to to open the curtain. there's also you know somebody said the philosopher sherman for it also first said that most people do not want to learn something new but what took at confirmation of something they already believe in and i think that's very much the case in china we have a certain picture of china and i wouldn't think exclude myself ten years ago levon years ago before i went to china for the first time i had a certain picture of china which was not really matching reality but then it depends on you willing to change the picture or do you speak with what you think how is it changed ten years on for you well. i was thinking the chinese

a mr mysterious people you know you can't really trust them and you never know what they think i thought that the country was much more backwards than it turned out to be. the fact is that the chinese have have still have and still today have kind of an innocence and openness once they trust you they embrace you and they really become friends with you and you can criticize a lot you know you can also was chinese politicians we talk a lot of. things in china that are not as they should be. you can be very open but it has to come out of a positive spirit. and not of just looking for the negative spots well you talk about innocence where does that come from north korea and does it have anything to do with the fact that china's been communist for so long. and no no i think it

has to do with with a structure of having the community first and then the individual that meant you will always part of something you were part of a family a part of a community part of the city part of a province and the country and helping each other being together was part of survival and that's that's when they when you get to know the chinese and when they embrace so they are not ashamed of having you all we love you and we admire you and and it's so sweet that openness i'm not saying that every chinese are sweet there is a lot of competition that can be very very. fierce fighting but in general they are willing to embrace you and talk about their feelings so is china socialist or capitalist they are fighting for. making their dreams come true and the fight is something sometimes

a little fierce because for a long time they couldn't make their dreams come true they couldn't lift the life they wanted and now specially for the generation that's one in the nineteen ninety's who has not to live through all the hard shift and the changes you know they they really demand that they can do whatever they want to do and that's going to be a new situation in china with a china ration that has grown up with communication systems with western. with information about everything that you can achieve in life and they're going to fight for achieving that they have goals they want to they want to be the best your husband john and i spared argues that china is a country without ideology do you agree with that it doesn't have any it's in search for an i d.

all of she and i would replace the word there's a lot of search for meaning because. when you are starving making an income that's enough you know you don't need any other goals but once you have your basic income once you make an economic dreams come true to a certain degree. then you realize that's not everything in life and i have a column in china you stated the second largest newspaper and i get a lot of emails in reaction to the column and many of the questions are. you know what is really the sense what's really the meaning of life what can i do with my life and how can i serve my country that's something that you wouldn't hear from the west so much you know how could i serve my country it's much more how can i so how can the country serve me and that search for meaning for spirit.

that that we can increasingly feel could be that they're searching for self identification in the twenty first century. there are quite communists but now there are so strong economically they are searching for acknowledged land for a position in the world they do not have enough self-confidence including the china as a as a country they have achieved so much but but they don't really. to look at themselves and say well what we did why is there a i don't know maybe because they are attacked. much more than then. and it's not that everything is great in china lots of things that we don't agree with that need to be improved but the west is very much focusing on the radios and on the flaws. and i think we should have a fallon's the thing about there is

a lot of good things and of course they have to work on the not so things do you think china is striving to be number one country in the world to be this huge superpower or is it just happening. i i hesitate because deep inside i think china wants to be the middle kingdom and wants to have to pull session had it once head that's in the in the in the you know the history of china has really an empire is not the chinese head but they are not fighting to dominate the world but they they they want to play the role in the world that they slowly growing into simply. kaname the growing size of the economy and by the number of people so i asked your husband whether china was trying to read because an empire and b. emerge into an imperialist state because if they're not fighting for it but they're

fighting for it economically because they're building ties with weaker countries. could it be that they will be become an empire that dominates the world by growing economic ties would have an interest i don't know whether we're live in the world where you really well really one nation can become a. dominant empire like the roman empire and all the other empires that followed. i don't think it's in this way and also i think that there's quite a ways to go and you know america is a fourteen trillion economy and. and you still only one third of one fourth of it so they have a ways to go and also you know think of the role that the u.s. plays culture of it i mean the influence that the louis has in the culture of the globe is a much higher one and i think that's one of the things that china is really really

has to establish what is its cultural identity in the twenty first century and when we have a chinese armani when they do not call peak. or are you know the. when they have only people who stand for and then what they own. which let's say and i'm not very good on the pop bands but you know what i mean they they have to create the chinese brand the cultural leadership that still is in the hand of the u.s. in many ways but right now in china is about one third of the u.s. for in-depth and dollar is at a very vulnerable situation i mean people are even talking they could devalue the future. what is the smartest way out of this impasse for china i think you know

economists are correlating or are having different opinions so i really would not claim that i have the answer to that so when the u.s. will hit rock bottom it will also have found a solid ground and then rise because it's not that the capacity of the u.s. is gone the capacity is still there and the chinese are very smart to get to the situation and invest with the let's say a weakening dollar or not so i think they they are going to work it out in the smart enough to do so also one more question china is more and more a search. and the south china sea do you think china is a country that actually could envisage a conflict well i it's a but but it wouldn't i mean it's too smart to you can't win wars anymore so why would china really start a war which would be destructive for china itself so while there's

a lot of posturing on the political side economically you know it's it's much too much integrated to release start a war on on either side so no the ass posturing there's a lot of. posturing because of internal reasons to show strengths to its people but but you know we don't we don't think this quite a thing china strategies for russia they've been very good friends and they've been not so good friends so i think they are seeking an alliance they are seeking but now they are very close neighbor us so i think china in general wants to optimize relationships whether it's russia or america or europe doris nies pick thank you very much for this and trying to.
