doris nesbitt thank you very much for being with us today thank you very much for 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 that a philosopher german philosopher 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 exclude myself ten years ago levin 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 stick with what you think how is it changed ten years on for you well. i was thinking the chinese are 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 half 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 in your opinion 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 the with the structure of having the community first and then the individual that meant you were always part of something you were part of a family a part of a community part of a 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 or 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 is sweet there is a lot of competition there can be very very. fierce fighting but in general they are willing to embrace you and talk about their feelings. socialist

or capitalist their fighting or. 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 their life they wanted and now specially for the generation that's one in the ninety's 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 chain aeration 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 that 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 konami 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 of 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 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 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. have 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 we need to be important but the west this is very much focusing on the

fairly us and on the flaws. and i think we should have a fallon's that. 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 at it once head that's in the in the in the you know the history of china as really an empire is not out of 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 say 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 become an empire that dominates the world by growing economic ties with other countries i don't know whether we're live in the world where you really have well really one nation can become a dominant empire like the roman empire and and all the other and fall of. 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. it's still only one third of one fourth of it so there's a ways to go and also you know think of the role that the u.s. plays culturally i mean the influence that this 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. you know the. when they have their own 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 plan 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 the dollar is at a very vulnerable situation i mean people are even talking they could devalue their

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 let's say we can in dollar or not so i think they they're 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 now 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 last posturing there is a lot of. posturing because of internal reasons to show strength to its people but but you know we don't we don't think they're supporting china strategies for russia they've been very good friends and they've been not so good friends i think they are seeking an alliance they are seeking trade but they are very close neighbors so i think china in general wants to optimize relationships whether it's russia or america or europe doris nice big thank you very much for this and to make you.

sure is that so much really. a lot of people in your unit at berkeley. content people are protesting against the political economic and financial status quo is this because of again. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall street they have. a decent chance. to try to get the status of the human experiment. isn't this what. really come to me and it's all things.
