this book, i things that you can compare is from the restroom in north korea, south korea or china at mao's time and china our vendors say that in the problem of the socialist, this they compare their utopia yeah their idea with reality and i think this is not fair it would be the same as i compare your real life marriage with a laugh novel you would say it's fair piece compared to the marriage of our friends. and so i think this is my approach as a historian to compare things and countries that you can compare, for example, east-west trauma, the same culture, the same language, the same history, but different economic systems with a quite different outcome. this is one example. do you think china is a capitalist country today? no, of course it's not a pure capitalist country. but even the united states is not a pure capitalist. you have nowhere in the world socialism or pure capitalism. we have always a mixture and i compared from the tests to you mentioned a test tube with two ingredients market state or capitalism socialism. and then i look what happens if you add small market as people

the story opens in san francisco chinatown in 1960 upon the death of chairman mao zedong, who let theevolution, founded the people's republic of china entered the covetous party. his death is viewed through the central character of may, so give us the cliffs notes version of the plot. vanessa: may is a teenage protÉgÉ and confidant of chairman mo -- karen -- confidant of chairman mao. i was inspired to write the book a decade and a half ago. he had a troop of young women he partnered with on the dance floor and in the bedroom. kristen: this is where it gets slightly r rated. or pg-13. is that historically related or fiction, the bedroom part? vanessa: that part is true. but the novel illustrates the untold story of how these women became part of the inner circle at a time when china had so much chaos that these young women became his confidantes. they handled his correspondence, the most powerful people in the country had to go through them in order to get access to mao. i thought it was so fascinating that may, my character, there were millions of impoverished women everywhere who ha

and in the 30 years after mouse --mao's death. the u.s. started doing this and 1970's as part of the cold where calculus of ganging up on the soviet union. and they continue to do this after the cold war in hopes of engaging china and bringing it into the world. when you put these things together there was a very fortuitous convergence of trends that allowed china to grow in a very fast, very sustained weight that made it that economic power we know today. >> how important was the decision to make it part of the wto? >> it was very important. it comes relatively late in the engagement process so that u.s. had made it a policy objective to help china develop and modernize its economy going back to the late 1970's but it was important because it created a more stable atmosphere for foreign commerce and foreign investment in china and it meant china no longer had the threat of having privilege trade access to foreign markets yanked away from it on an annual basis. it helped ignite the chinese manufacturing boom that we have heard so much abou

about science, and that this stems from xijinping becoming china's most powerful leader since chairman maopeople, a big meeting will soon usher in a historic third term in office for xijinping, but the hope was to have china in a stable and tiptop shape when this occurs. however, the coronavirus is not playing nicely. yet scientists are more open about the pandemic than politicians, as a key government adviser, this professor is one of the architects of the policy which has stopped china's hospitals being overloaded. 0nly locally developed vaccines have been approved for use in china, and the government has enforced a strict testing and vaccination policies, it hasn't pushed deaf forced vaccinations. officially 80% of people have been vaccinated but some have questioned whether the real rate is quite low, especially amongst vulnerable groups. every night, china's office towers are empty, and commuters start the trek back home. in one way, people can be thankful that the virus has been minimised in this vast and densely populated country. if it reopens tomorrow, the disease would spread lik

even greater nan mao. she is the modern mao. the new thinking far new century.it's an incredibly ambitious goal and it's a goal that involves making china the supreme power in the world and in the process, i believe, weakening every other country that could be a competitor and there's no question which one he wants to see go down as our previous president would have called ass hole countryings. and in that respect abraham was absolutely right, that is the real danger to us. we are going down that chute at the exact time with our greatest adversary. hitler couldn't cross the seas and get hollywood to censor movies he didn't like. he couldn't go to the nba and get them to kick out players that were criticizing germany. xi must be drinking toasts to our previous president every time heavy gets a chance. end of question. it is a question. do you agree?

stood for anything in the seven decades where the communist party has been in charge in china since mao'ssovereignty of nation-states, they stand for territorial integrity. and we would hope the chinese would be consistent on that, and they have not been consistent because they're saying two different messages to two different parts of the spectrum. gerry: are we in or are we about to enter a new cold war with china? how would you characterize the relationship? >> i actually think, gerry, i don't think that's the right way to frame it because it's -- the old cold war was two blocs but no economic connection. we have a major economic connection. that makes it different. so i wouldn't use that term. but i would say it's by far the most consequential relationship that we have. it's going to be consequential for peace and security. and as our president said, we want a peaceful future. we do not seek conflict, and we're going to try to compete with china vigorously and then work with china where we can. and we hope the chinese will reciprocate. they've frozen a lot of our dialogues since speak

that's why, at those plenums of that year, he was equated there in terms of his contribution even to maos opin, that is, to the development of china, and from the fact that the guests with intimacy returned normally , moreover, i i will tell you interesting, interesting things like this so that you can understand about the chinese themselves. yes , this is what has turned out now. wait a second, it's simple, it just needs to be quoted, that is, i told you that this summit visit, these calls to this summit started a new a qualitative stage in the development of something a and the front page according to the results came out, it is already the ball that will be reviewed according to the results, and the participation in this summit has already come out with the following title: guiding star on the big road or often the chairman of the people's republic of china is sitting with the american himself. came and enlightened them all where to go where to move and where to develop that's why i don't see any i didn't see any signs that there should be some dissatisfaction with something in china

mao zedong stayed so that monolithic china would not split, therefore, of course, the cracks had alreadyshchev, in his report on the twentieth trip further, these cracks began to diverge and the americans and the british and french. funded very well. here is the fifth column. in our country , under the guise of a dissident movement, they received all sorts of radios, launched leaflets, and took them away, and therefore, of course, they added this rust very strongly. with all sorts of financial and other frauds, times have changed in these no these ways. is it possible to destroy russia today or not? it is absolutely clear that no matter how strong external pressure would be without their own. e bugs. eh, you still won’t ruin the country in the same ninety- first year, of course, i agree with mike, after all, the main fault lies with the leadership of the soviet union, which made both economic mistakes and political mistakes. uh, so lesson 12 is easy, if you have, uh, a normal, working economy. eh, at least? i think many problems. you can easily avoid. actually, it is no coincidence that

so was architecture under mao.hey knocked down everything worth having and replaced it with concrete boxes. why? because those boxes sent a clear message, that is you are worth nothing. there's no beauty for you. why is beauty so important? why did tyrants destroy it? they destroy it because beauty reminds you that the most important things are eternal. they're unchanging. beauty is recognizable across cultures, across centuries. you can go to a place, the culture unfamiliar with and you see something beautiful, you cog nice it. why? because beauty has balance and grace. you know it instantly. a beautiful face in this culture is similar to a beautiful face in that culture. a building, a same thing. it has balance. why? it's derived from nature, god's creation. the closer we are to god's creation, the straighter the path. the better the path. so i look at the country. i travel it. all 50 states. as i said, i've been everywhere. i did it for so long. i noticed that virtually everything built after 1945, less attracti

things i would say is that even in the american shopping, while even the americans must pronounce it as mao but you are right about the approval ratings and they were in the tank. he's never enjoyed more than 47% words the queen has always enjoyed more than 80% and prince william has always been in the 80s as well. what would be very interesting, you're very right, is that last see after that well received speech where he embraced yes, harry and meghan, he offered his love to everyone, and it was a lovely olive branch. but he also spoke from his heart. and he was so many of the things that he reportedly rethought from the media at least that he wasn't. everybody who ever met in person, people know him. and say that he was reflecting on his real self. so to your point, yes. let's wait and see this week. i think it will be a fascination. whether those polls now go. it looks like they're going to go upwards. if the public's reaction to him thus far is any indication of the rest and it remains to be seen. >> and we're looking at now in london a preparation for another gun salute for the tower o

the british crackdown mile mao killed an estimated 11,000 kenyans and many held the queen as britain's head of state responsible. >> kenya was colonized by the british, and being colonized by the british, people have lost their fathers, their grandfathers, fighting for independence from the colonies. this is a colonizer. they are people who, that is the feeling they have. >> the association with the queen has also had some positives. >> yes, they are positives. the colonization's also brought positive things. but again, there is the negativity because of the losses that kenya as a people went through. >> british colonial history and the resentment of it are unavoidable in nairobi. the city's main road was named princess elizabeth highway when it opened, though since renamed freedom road after independence. time has healed only so much here. >> key trousers ended to the throne, this in itself marks a new beginning. i don't think a great good fraction of canyons will look at like like that. the more critical ones will remain critical. we will still continue to pose the uncomfortable ques

themselves in slavery and that's tragic and then it ultimately collapses into usually a single ruler it's mao zedong or or joseph stalin or the putin and russia or china and china. and so the idea of a collective rule with great human freedom starts like that. but that's not how it ends. and is capable. it is not capable of free debate because it fails so often and. that's why controlling the mind of man was so important to stalin. and now to chile and china. to putin. in russia. that's why she and china's up 11 different actresses have all disappeared in china. that's there is a massive disappearance. anybody that doesn't know or seems to be incorrect on the right political line. it does beg the question, why would stalin to kill a ballerina who seems harmless but she traveled over 400,000 miles in the days before air travel with her dance, and she represented that stalin couldn't stand. it was an independent, free thought. it was very much he continued. the doctrine of cultural hegemony that was first advanced by gramsci. but john mentioned earlier to control you have to control their mind,

under mao, they knocked downmao.everything worth having built during the preceding millennia and they replaced with concretei boxes.thoncr why do they do that?ete because those boxes, those building s have architecture. that design send a very tha clear message, which is you are worth nothing.y fo there's no beauty for you.why is now, why is beauty so important and why did tyrants alwaysroy destroy it? well, they destroy it because they'r reminds you that the most important things are eternal. they're unchanging beautgingy is recognizable across cultures across centuriesss. cultcan go to a place of culture completely unfamiliar with it. if you see something beautiful ,you recognize it immediately. why? because beauty hasand you see se and symmetry and grace. you know you know it instantly.t a beautiful face in thisbeautifu e is very similar to a beautiful face and that culture, beautiful building, same thingautiful . it has balance. why? why does. because it's derived from nature is derived from god'se cs creation. s

subsequently, we can think of napoleon, we can think of mao, we can think of castro, we can think of a variety of leaders who never want to leave office. but i won't mention one who might still be alive in american politics. the president, he said that it's often discussed as a two term president. that is ratified as a constitutional amendment in 1951, i believe. the real precedent is in a republic, all the leaders, no matter how indispensable, are disposable. that you do not die in office like a monarch. that was the real precedent. i will conclude here, the dominant thing we need to remember is that this was not ever delivered as an address. now, both of our committee members know that. it wasn't a speech, it was an open letter to the american people that first appeared in a philadelphia paper, and i think it's in the new hampshire paper that gives at the title, the farewell address. the initial reaction to the address was, oh my god, he can't leave us. the american effort had not existed without him at its head. it was like the father saying to the children, you are on your own. a
