The review about this product
Let me start with a question:
- Who, in this modern day doesn't know the fact that the US and China are linked to each other at the level of inter-dependency?
This is a fact.
I liked the documentary because it gives clear examples to this fact.
But when it comes to giving examples about the free-speech, better-business etc in China. It fails.
I lived in China about 3.5 years.
I've been to places that no foreigner went before.
No matter where I went, it is crystal clear that the people are really open-minded.
AND NEVER NEEDED TO BRIBE ANYBODY.
I think the main reason for this documentary being so biased is that Ted Koppel is an old man with a rigid China/Chinese format in his mind. He simply cannot deliver the whole picture. He focuses on certain things and he tries to find examples to those things. And, in a society of 1.3 billion, it is not difficult to find any example you want.
In a conversation, the photographer says "I don't love my government, I trust my government". Ted Koppel jumps into this statement. Let me tell you:
- That doesn't mean that the guy "hates" his government. He does not.
- It simply means, I don't need to love my government. Love has got nothing to do with what I expect from my government.
In the interview section (special features) Koppel goes even futher and says something like "people had no sense of humour, they didn't even have a favorite joke etc) in his early visits to China. I'd recommend him to read more about the history of humour in China, Peking Opera etc. Clearly he sees what he wants to see, and shows only that.
As I said, he shows a very strong perjudice against the Chinese government, bribery, corruption etc.
But in terms of economics, the context is very well presented. You should watch this if you need real-life examples for global, US, and Chinese economies.
