8
00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.740

9
00:00:58.740 --> 00:00:58.820
argument except you work for cut

10

work for cutter to their literally funded by cutter law

12
00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:27.380
I'm not sure if I'm going to get

13
00:01:27.380 --> 00:01:29.380
out of here.

14
00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:30.580
So also heavily fucking up the Saudi

15
00:01:30.580 --> 00:01:31.780
live golf league a ton of their

16
00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:33.380
players right now are stuck in

17
00:01:33.380 --> 00:01:35.380
countries and no fly zones law.

18
00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:36.380
I know.

19
00:01:36.380 --> 00:01:39.980
We ask the people around the world

20
00:01:39.980 --> 00:01:41.980
to rate the morality and ethics

21
00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:42.980
of others in country in their

22
00:01:42.980 --> 00:01:43.980
country.

23
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:44.980
The U.S. is the only place we

24
00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:45.980
surveyed where more adults

25
00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:46.980
describe the morality and

26
00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:47.980
ethics of others living in the

27
00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:48.980
country is bad then good.

28
00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:50.980
In many countries people see

29
00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:51.980
their fellow citizens and

30
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:52.980
morally good who rate the

31
00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:53.980
morality and ethics and other

32
00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:54.980
people.

33
00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:56.980
Percentage of people who rate

34
00:01:56.980 --> 00:01:57.980
the morality and ethics of

35
00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:00.980
people in their country as very

36
00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:03.980
good or somewhat good 47%.

37
00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:10.980
Somewhat bad and very bad 53%.

38
00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:11.980
Wait, where's Israel on this list?

39
00:02:11.980 --> 00:02:12.980
I got to see Israel.

40
00:02:12.980 --> 00:02:16.980
Where the fuck is Israel?

41
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:22.980
Even Israel 68% rate the morality

42
00:02:22.980 --> 00:02:23.980
and ethics of people in their

43
00:02:23.980 --> 00:02:25.980
country as very good or

44
00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:27.980
somewhat good.

45
00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:29.980
Bro, Turks are so funny.

46
00:02:29.980 --> 00:02:31.980
Oh my God.

47
00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:34.980
Turkey is the only other country.

48
00:02:34.980 --> 00:02:35.980
Turkey.

49
00:02:35.980 --> 00:02:37.980
Turkey is like 50 50.

50
00:02:37.980 --> 00:02:39.980
It's like bro, we have to live

51
00:02:39.980 --> 00:02:40.980
with the fucking out of the

52
00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:41.980
want supporters.

53
00:02:41.980 --> 00:02:42.980
Okay.

54
00:02:42.980 --> 00:02:43.980
I'm sick and tired of it.

55
00:02:43.980 --> 00:02:44.980
And then the out of the

56
00:02:44.980 --> 00:02:45.980
want supporters are like bro,

57
00:02:45.980 --> 00:02:46.980
we have to live with these

58
00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:49.980
disgusting godless liberals.

59
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:56.980
Oh, that's so sick.

60
00:02:56.980 --> 00:02:58.980
That is fucking funny, man.

61
00:02:58.980 --> 00:03:05.980
That's funny.

62
00:03:05.980 --> 00:03:06.980
Look at this reply.

63
00:03:06.980 --> 00:03:07.980
It's so self evident.

64
00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:08.980
Hot tape.

65
00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:09.980
You think people are generally

66
00:03:09.980 --> 00:03:10.980
morally good than you are

67
00:03:10.980 --> 00:03:11.980
morally blind.

68
00:03:11.980 --> 00:03:12.980
A good society can only be

69
00:03:12.980 --> 00:03:13.980
built on the belief that

70
00:03:13.980 --> 00:03:14.980
there's a lot of shit.

71
00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:15.980
The inverse of recipe to be

72
00:03:15.980 --> 00:03:16.980
fucked over.

73
00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:18.980
This guy is so mind-cucked.

74
00:03:18.980 --> 00:03:19.980
It's not even funny.

75
00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:21.980
You know what I mean?

76
00:03:21.980 --> 00:03:23.980
Like this guy is capitalism

77
00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:24.980
cucked if that makes sense.

78
00:03:24.980 --> 00:03:25.980
Like his brain doesn't work

79
00:03:25.980 --> 00:03:26.980
in a normal fashion where

80
00:03:26.980 --> 00:03:28.980
he's just like, it's a game

81
00:03:28.980 --> 00:03:30.980
of war all the time.

82
00:03:30.980 --> 00:03:32.980
And everyone's out to get me.

83
00:03:32.980 --> 00:03:33.980
Great, man.

84
00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:35.980
What a wonderful person you

85
00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:36.980
are just operating with this

86
00:03:36.980 --> 00:03:40.980
like sociopathic tendency.

87
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:41.980
The Chinese are the ones

88
00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:43.980
releasing the sat images of

89
00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:44.980
the damages, and some people

90
00:03:44.980 --> 00:03:45.980
are a bit mad at that.

91
00:03:45.980 --> 00:03:46.980
Oh, I know.

92
00:03:46.980 --> 00:03:47.980
China has once again made

93
00:03:47.980 --> 00:03:48.980
public satellite images of

94
00:03:48.980 --> 00:03:49.980
the damage to the U.S.

95
00:03:49.980 --> 00:03:51.980
al-Dafra base in the UAE.

96
00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:52.980
Chinese continue to expose

97
00:03:52.980 --> 00:03:53.980
damaged Western military

98
00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:54.980
base throughout the Middle

99
00:03:54.980 --> 00:03:56.980
East with the clear

100
00:03:56.980 --> 00:03:57.980
censorship regime in place.

101
00:03:57.980 --> 00:03:58.980
China is making information

102
00:03:58.980 --> 00:03:59.980
available that otherwise

103
00:03:59.980 --> 00:04:00.980
would remain hidden from

104
00:04:00.980 --> 00:04:01.980
public view.

105
00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:12.980
It's a snowy day in

106
00:04:12.980 --> 00:04:13.980
Beijing's Tiananmen Square.

107
00:04:13.980 --> 00:04:14.980
As U.S. strikes Iran,

108
00:04:14.980 --> 00:04:15.980
China has a message

109
00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:16.980
in the world.

110
00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:17.980
A message it wants the

111
00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:18.980
world to hear.

112
00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:19.980
We're here early.

113
00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:20.980
And we're going to take you

114
00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:21.980
for a rare glimpse into the

115
00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:23.980
secretive world of Chinese

116
00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:24.980
political power.

117
00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:26.980
I've reported from Beijing

118
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:27.980
for nearly three and a half

119
00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:28.980
years now.

120
00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:29.980
And there is still something

121
00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:30.980
of a buzz every time we're

122
00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:31.980
allowed here because it is

123
00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:32.980
quite rare that journalists

124
00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:33.980
are allowed to film in

125
00:04:33.980 --> 00:04:34.980
Tiananmen Square.

126
00:04:34.980 --> 00:04:35.980
It's infamous.

127
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:36.980
Hey!

128
00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:37.980
Hey!

129
00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:38.980
I know somebody who's

130
00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:43.980
did that shit though.

131
00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:44.980
They're not wrong.

132
00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:45.980
It is actually, come on,

133
00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:46.980
guys.

134
00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:48.980
Tiananmen Square is

135
00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:50.980
literally incredibly

136
00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:51.980
secure.

137
00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:52.980
Please.

138
00:04:52.980 --> 00:04:55.980
Be for real.

139
00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:57.980
Like, I was there.

140
00:04:57.980 --> 00:04:59.980
You literally watched me go

141
00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:00.980
through the security

142
00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:01.980
checkpoints.

143
00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:02.980
I livestreamed the entire

144
00:05:02.980 --> 00:05:03.980
process.

145
00:05:03.980 --> 00:05:04.980
I got stopped by a cop who

146
00:05:04.980 --> 00:05:05.980
thought I was like making

147
00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:06.980
fun of Mao Zedong,

148
00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:08.980
which I never would and never

149
00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:09.980
will.

150
00:05:09.980 --> 00:05:12.980
Mao Zedong is a one of the

151
00:05:12.980 --> 00:05:15.980
great leaders of this world.

152
00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:19.980
A man who changed the

153
00:05:19.980 --> 00:05:21.980
entire universe, the

154
00:05:21.980 --> 00:05:22.980
entire planet.

155
00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:30.980
Okay.

156
00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:33.980
But the reality of the

157
00:05:33.980 --> 00:05:37.980
matter is, I was able to,

158
00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:39.980
for real, for real, yes.

159
00:05:39.980 --> 00:05:40.980
I mean, there was a lot of

160
00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:41.980
fucking excesses.

161
00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:42.980
Let's be real.

162
00:05:42.980 --> 00:05:44.980
But the People's Republic

163
00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:46.980
of China would not exist

164
00:05:46.980 --> 00:05:49.980
without Mao Zedong.

165
00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:50.980
And before people say, oh,

166
00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:51.980
well, what about Deng?

167
00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:53.980
What about Deng Xiaoping?

168
00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:54.980
Okay.

169
00:05:54.980 --> 00:05:55.980
Great.

170
00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:57.980
He advanced China as well.

171
00:05:57.980 --> 00:06:01.980
And so does Xi Jinping.

172
00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:07.980
Don't make me retell the

173
00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:09.980
dumpling story.

174
00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:10.980
Okay.

175
00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:13.980
You eat four dumplings and you

176
00:06:13.980 --> 00:06:16.980
finally feel like you're full

177
00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:18.980
on the fifth one.

178
00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:20.980
You don't think to yourself, oh,

179
00:06:20.980 --> 00:06:21.980
I should have just eaten the

180
00:06:21.980 --> 00:06:22.980
fifth dumpling.

181
00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:25.980
It's not the fifth dumpling that

182
00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:27.980
filled your stomach.

183
00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:29.980
The first four dumplings were

184
00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:31.980
also important.

185
00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:33.980
Brutal history means we're only

186
00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:34.980
given access on pretty

187
00:06:34.980 --> 00:06:35.980
special occasions.

188
00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:37.980
And today is a special

189
00:06:37.980 --> 00:06:38.980
occasion of sorts.

190
00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:40.980
It's an event called Liang Hui,

191
00:06:40.980 --> 00:06:41.980
or the Two Sessions in English.

192
00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:43.980
It's sort of Chinese equivalent

193
00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:45.980
of the state opening of Parliament,

194
00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:47.980
a day for pomp and ceremony.

195
00:06:47.980 --> 00:06:49.980
But it's also a day where the

196
00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:51.980
curtain is raised just a little

197
00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:53.980
on what China's leaders think

198
00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:55.980
and what they might want.

199
00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:56.980
And we're going to take you

200
00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:57.980
inside.

201
00:06:57.980 --> 00:06:58.980
Am I crazy?

202
00:06:58.980 --> 00:06:59.980
No, it's not.

203
00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:01.980
No, China definitely has

204
00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:03.980
very different cultural

205
00:07:03.980 --> 00:07:06.980
attitudes about criticisms or

206
00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:08.980
even fucking outright praise.

207
00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:09.980
Well, not our praise, but

208
00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:10.980
criticisms of historical

209
00:07:10.980 --> 00:07:12.980
leadership, the party in

210
00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:14.980
general, that's a major

211
00:07:14.980 --> 00:07:15.980
difference.

212
00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:17.980
There's a fundamental

213
00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:18.980
difference in how China

214
00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:20.980
operates as opposed to other

215
00:07:20.980 --> 00:07:21.980
countries.

216
00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:22.980
Nearly 3,000 delegates have

217
00:07:22.980 --> 00:07:23.980
traveled from what?

218
00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:24.980
At least from western

219
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:25.980
liberal countries.

220
00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:26.980
Corners of this country to be

221
00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:27.980
here.

222
00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:28.980
In this country, they'll

223
00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:29.980
discuss policy and vote on

224
00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:30.980
legislation.

225
00:07:30.980 --> 00:07:31.980
In reality, they'll rub a

226
00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:33.980
stamped decisions pre-made

227
00:07:33.980 --> 00:07:35.980
behind closed doors.

228
00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:37.980
But this event is as much

229
00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:39.980
about precision and the

230
00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:42.980
projection of power as it is

231
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:43.980
about policy.

232
00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:46.980
This place is absolutely

233
00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:47.980
colossal.

234
00:07:47.980 --> 00:07:49.980
Fun fact, it was built in just

235
00:07:49.980 --> 00:07:50.980
10 months.

236
00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:52.980
Getting our passes checked and

237
00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:53.980
going in.

238
00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:55.980
Few members of the public

239
00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:57.980
will ever step foot in the

240
00:07:57.980 --> 00:07:58.980
Great Hall of the People.

241
00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:00.980
It's closely guarded, tightly

242
00:08:00.980 --> 00:08:01.980
controlled.

243
00:08:01.980 --> 00:08:03.980
And inside, it's absolutely

244
00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:04.980
cavernous.

245
00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:06.980
Final security check.

246
00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:08.980
But this is where it all

247
00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:09.980
happens.

248
00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.980
This is the Great Auditorium.

249
00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:12.980
Thank you, Sisia.

250
00:08:12.980 --> 00:08:14.980
Sisia.

251
00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:15.980
That's sick.

252
00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:17.980
Oh, that's so sick.

253
00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:19.980
Fuck.

254
00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:22.980
And on China's grandest

255
00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:24.980
political stage, it's quite

256
00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:26.980
clear who is the grandest.

257
00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:28.980
Wait, did they let?

258
00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:31.980
Did they always let in foreign

259
00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:37.980
reporters to the five-year plan

260
00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:38.980
announcement?

261
00:08:38.980 --> 00:08:40.980
That's new, right?

262
00:08:40.980 --> 00:08:42.980
I'm pretty sure they let you

263
00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:44.980
outside of the square.

264
00:08:53.980 --> 00:08:56.980
No, it's not new.

265
00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.980
She mocked you with her passes.

266
00:08:58.980 --> 00:09:00.980
Yeah, she did.

267
00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:04.980
Bailstee and paralyzed

268
00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:06.980
pendant plug.

269
00:09:06.980 --> 00:09:08.980
Thank you for the 25 gifted

270
00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:09.980
subs.

271
00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:11.980
What the fuck is paralyzed pendant

272
00:09:11.980 --> 00:09:12.980
plug?

273
00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:13.980
Paralyzed pendant plug with the

274
00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:14.980
50, actually.

275
00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:16.980
And derelict.

276
00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:18.980
And claudy days, I think,

277
00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:20.980
are the five gifted.

278
00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:27.980
There must be so much drama in

279
00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:29.980
this that we don't get to know.

280
00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:31.980
Maybe in the next five years,

281
00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:32.980
little bro.

282
00:09:32.980 --> 00:09:33.980
Yeah, I'll wait.

283
00:09:33.980 --> 00:09:34.980
No, it's new that they let anyone

284
00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:35.980
outside the party there.

285
00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:36.980
Yeah, I thought it was a party

286
00:09:36.980 --> 00:09:37.980
officials only.

287
00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:39.980
This is ultimately cheating

288
00:09:39.980 --> 00:09:40.980
pink show.

289
00:09:40.980 --> 00:09:41.980
Hot off a year about maneuvering

290
00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:42.980
Trump and...

291
00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:43.980
Why did you glaze China if you

292
00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:44.980
liked them so much?

293
00:09:44.980 --> 00:09:45.980
Then get out of my country and go

294
00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:46.980
live there, bro.

295
00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:47.980
Stop threatening me with a

296
00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:48.980
fucking good time.

297
00:09:48.980 --> 00:09:49.980
Okay, stop it.

298
00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:51.980
Urging his military.

299
00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:54.980
This is all his pitch, his plan,

300
00:09:54.980 --> 00:09:56.980
his power.

301
00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:58.980
Today's session is very much

302
00:09:58.980 --> 00:09:59.980
about the economy.

303
00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:01.980
What's going on and what are the

304
00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:02.980
challenges?

305
00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:04.980
His biggest problem, perhaps, is

306
00:10:04.980 --> 00:10:06.980
slowing growth.

307
00:10:06.980 --> 00:10:08.980
This year's target's been set at

308
00:10:08.980 --> 00:10:10.980
its lowest rate in 30 years.

309
00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:12.980
But just listen to how they

310
00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:13.980
explain it.

311
00:10:13.980 --> 00:10:16.980
And crucially, who they blame.

312
00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:21.980
The evolving Eastern environment

313
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:23.980
is exerting greater impact on

314
00:10:23.980 --> 00:10:24.980
China.

315
00:10:24.980 --> 00:10:25.980
Multilateralism and free trade

316
00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:27.980
have been under severe strain.

317
00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:45.980
By the way, by the way, it's real.

318
00:10:45.980 --> 00:10:48.980
Like, this is correct.

319
00:10:48.980 --> 00:10:50.980
It's got to be so funny to sit

320
00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:52.980
there as a Western reporter who,

321
00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:55.980
for your Western news report at

322
00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:58.980
Sky News has said the exact same

323
00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.980
things about America's terrorist
