1. bad English + gesticulation = ?
2. this yellow dyed thug got infame by condemning / trashing his home coutry china to feet the West's like.
3. 李世默的低级诡辩逻辑：1,承认中国不是民主，你们这些民主国家的人就可以不在民主不民主的问题上纠缠；2, 鼓吹中国有中国的独特的制度，这种制度下也可以保证民主，进而堵住西方的嘴；3, 以文化说，国情说来给这种独特的制度进行包装，使其拥有在中国的正当性，进而影射其合法性(他还不敢直接推导合法性，因为又会引发其他话题)；4, 以此制度只适合中国，不适合其他国家来继续堵住西方的嘴，你们没尝试过这种制度，所以没有发言权。在诡辩里，一再强调自己是风投家来给自己的诡辩变相立威；一再强调自己看数据来增加自己结论的可信度。李世默真是愚昧、残忍、无道无信中国人的代名词。对比一下数据你会发现，朝鲜除了有万人坑之外，还在这些年里有着显著的现代化建设，金家的合法地位在李世默的眼里不容置疑。其实，李若相信自己说的鬼话，他投资必败无疑。我说他愚昧，不是因为他真信自己说的鬼话，而是看不清替集权专制说话，最终只有死路，连舍弃财富换命的机会都没有
4. Democracies have killed more people in the last century (Two world wars , Korea . Vietnam, Iraq , Libya Syria and many more ) compare that with Chinese system . China will come out the winner.
   Historically too China has been the Largest economy of the World for 1800 years till 18th century and will regain that position in two decades
5. Beware of trolls from the 50 Cent army, paid Chinese trolls who are paid 50 cents per comment on these forums.
6. Asking USA to change its political system is harder than asking China to changed into a Democratic system overnight.
7. Elected through lies? Guess he didn't expect Trump...
8. 李世默虽然只是个Berkeley商学院的学士，但还不至于傻逼到分不清民主与专制，分不清中国人民对民主与专制的反应。能让他这么甩着眼镜，故作姿态地满口喷粪，无非因为他的靠山——既给他撑腰又给他钱的靠山。我倒很希望有人给视频加上字幕，传播得广些，让中国人都看看在国际舞台上的体制狗是种什么姿态
9. This kind of PR function for China doesn't work at all! Why university professors and high school teachers in China classrooms cannot criticize their government? They get punishment if they do that. Limiting Chinese people mind thinking is blocking China from developing! China was the greatest economy with greatest military power and greatest infrastructures on earth during Emperor Qin Shihuang 200B.C. What's the difference between now and 200B.C.? China dreams for going back to 200B.C.? There is no freedom of speech and freedom of press in China. People cannot speak out beyond the line CCP drawn. That means no one can summarize all problems and risks. So, the biggest problem is no one knows how bad the situation is when all problems add together. Don't fool people , democracy without freedom of speech ? PRC constitution called China as democratic China. If democracy is not valid in China, then PRC constitution is void! Is that rule of law?
10. One can not impose Democracy upon the Chinese people it has to come from within through the Taoist philosophy of dualism.
11. Minxin Pei was taking a cheap shot when he said that many Chinese coming to US. That had nothing to do with democracy. Mexico is a democracy, and many many Mexicans were and are coming to US either legally or illegally. What does democracy have to do with it?
12. As a Chinese living in democratic North America for three decades, I agree with his views about political systems in China and in the world. Chinese current one-party system is nothing superior, but it is optional for China. China is a very different civilization from the western countries, as unique and complex as its language. China needs big government. The Chinese people depend on their governments to lead and govern. The governing CCP has been quite vigilant in self observation and self correction, and it gets things done very efficiently meanwhile effectively serving their long-term vision. It is the best driving force supported by its people. As for the westerners, if you feel troubled embracing it, at least let it be. You are not really in a position to judge it. With regard to freedom of speech, it has been a complicated subject for me. I do enjoy the freedom of speech myself, but I also understand that its limitation is necessary for China. The Chinese takes words (or speech) way too seriously so it can be very harmful. American news media like CNN or talk show hosts may all share such experiences: don't make jokes about the Chinese or they all come out the next day to protest. A rap song that entertains us could make so many Chinese angry. The words just weight so much more to them. Yea, I say them because I don't share the same feeling, but I do understand. The total freedom of speech may be harmful to the social stability of China and social stability is essential to the sustainable growth of Chinese economy. All I suggest Is to keep an open mind about China, nothing scary really even though unfamiliar.
13. Berkeley certainly beats Harvard
14. Another 4 years have passed, idont see china' government collapse.
15. Democracy and china's system are both flawed and this system came from people's idea so i'am sure there can be a better system. And to those people who criticize china's system try to understand how our system works before you blabber bullshits.
16. to understand china people should try to understand china and not look at a western perspective.
17. Eric Li breeds out a new paradigm in political science whereas a conventional idea tends to dichotomize democracy and dictatorship.
18. This guy, Minxin, never respects the indigenous system of Chinese government and likes to apply a typical western point of view to analyse the political system in China.
19. I quite disagree with Minxin Pei that, when the per capita income rises to a level, the political system in China would change to a multi party format otherwise a political crisis might happen. The way he think is too much influenced by western ideas.
20. Everyone wants a good quality democracy...
    But nowadays democracy in some countries are acting very very bad resulted from economic issues that poor economy leads to poor people leads to poor democracy.
