Comment on China’s Megatrends by Jordan H

Jordan H — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:46:40 +0000

Hello Jim,

Interesting observations yourself.

I suppose we will never know about that election thing, considering it won’t happen.

And it may be true that “most” are satisfied, however it remains a tad unfortunate that reality is quickly catching up here.

The Economist (quoting the Chinese press Shanghai Daily) recently discussed how cash flows are keeping people from being paid. Are these migrant workers enjoying prosperity? http://econ.st/tHegNz

Or maybe it’s more troubling that there are staged Good Samaritan publicity stunts due to the overwhelming global response to the Wang Yue incident. http://bit.ly/s8CRXi

Perhaps we should point to the rising number of public incidents in China, with public dissatisfaction continuing to increase. (This is older data, but from the MPS in China for illustrative purposes.) http://bit.ly/uzmFLc

The key point I hoped to make in our discussion was that all is not as well as it seems. Progress at the price of humanity may not be progress at all. In living here I have observed that people are generally only interested in their individual lives as there is not much they can control past that.

The next 5-10 years will certainly be interesting.

Thanks for listening.

P.S. Did you buy a copy of the book? I’ve now seen it on a couple of the street book carts- could have had a copy for 50RMB.

I am sitting here in China listening to to your report on China Megatrends. You make the assertion that one would not be able to listen to this report in China. You missed that one.
Although your observations are true about human rights abuses in China and there have been some disasters from “central planning” – it is also true that most of the people are satisfied living in a country with increasing levels of prosperity. If there were an election today, I believe the Communist party would win broadly.

Good show this week. I haven’t listened in a while and I can see how much more comfortable you are getting with this podcast format. Keep up the awesome job, heck you might even make me wanna read a business book!

Good show! I like the three distinct voices – I can even tell Aaron and Phil apart most of the time by now. I would like to hear anyone wo’s talking get to finish her whole thought even if you couldn’t get in as many topics. I do like the quick exchanges and all the parts of the show. They all work and have. More and less fun or seriousness.

It’s great that you all liked this book – pros and cons were personal and original. I might read my forest David Brooks book.

Great review even for someone who had not read the book. Looking forward to next stream and checking out the next book in advance. Karin’s cute, Aaron’s shirt wasn’t THAT great, and Phil, although a potty mouth, had some great takes. Thanks again!

I agree that this was one of the best shows yet. And while the abortion concept was controversial, I think the missing gang chapter by Venkatesh was much more compelling. Can’t wait for the next show – Why We Buy!

I think this one turned out well. I finally did watch the video. I must say, I did like the book better. I missed the entire crack gang chapter. What you think?

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
