What the World Can Learn From China’s Innovation Playbook | Keyu Jin | TED

I stay in China, Shanghai. And technology makes life so convenient here. It makes it difficult to actually adapt to a life without this convenience. Props to China

Dear Keyu Jin, Chinese groundbreaking technology happened in the 9th Century BCE In the 9th Century BCE, the Chinese were able to melt iron like no other civilization at the time. This gave the ancient Chinese an economic advantage that lasted for hundreds of years. Besides smelting weapons, Chinese coins were minted and used as trading currency. Ancient China become the commercial leader which manifested itself in an industrial revolution. During these millennia Chinese silk became a thought-after commodity. In the 6 century BCE, silk Reached Germany via the Silk Road. Here too an increased affluence brought with it a wave of elevated cultural development.

Her father's background: Jin Liqun (Chinese: 金立群; born August 1949) is a Chinese politician, banker, and professor. He is currently the President of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). He was formerly the Chairman of China International Capital Corporation, the Vice President of the Asian Development Bank, and the Vice Minister of Finance of the People's Republic of China.

And the young city of Hefei is also the research hub of nuclear fusion, quantum computing, and other fundamental science topics in China. Looking forward to what it would become in the next decades!😊

2:01 - 2:15, Keyu spent most of her life in three places, both in China and West I reckon a lot of people in the comment section have never been to China themselves and only receive related news on BBC or other western media. And the thing that most people think they know more than Keyu is what I found the most hilarious.

Keyu Jin’s talk communicates so many good insights into who China is and how our two countries and the world as a whole can prosper through healthy competition and mutual respect. Of course national security is important to all, but not everything is about national security. Creating a better world for our children and grandchildren must be our paramount goal. Share Wisdom not fear.

One of the main reasons that China has come up so quick is the working class people, who has sacrificed a lot to society.

we are interested to see if there is any update for Prof Jin' view in Sept 2023

Whatever her background, instead of belittling her message, one should be happy to have someone understanding both countries, knowing both their merits and weakness/inufficiencies, removing fear, doubts and misunderstandings among both politicians and common people. It is better for everyone when all countries can work together in fair and true healthy competition and grow together. In peace and not on the threat of war.

The comment section gives me hope in humanity. 👍

To learn from other countries, we need first to be open mind and hearts.

There is hope to find common interest nd combined our effort for the good of humanity. Overcoming fear, building trust should be the major objective between the US and China. Keyu Jin is an ambassador in promoting that mind set..

Don't drink this coolaid. Traveling the world does not automatically provide one with a more correct or unique perspective of the world or even particular parts of the world, nor does one's own personal history. Thoughtful engagement with other points of view may provide an opportunity for insight, but a thesis based on that experience again does not necessarily give a person a more accurate understanding of any culture or system. It may allow a person a unique experience and an opportunity for obtaining knowledge from that experience but it does not in and of itself provide a basis from which to judge the accuracy of the presented thesis.

I believe Jin didn't come from an ordinary family. She is well educated both in China and USA. She speaks American English without much Chinese accent. She is talented and has access to ALL resources necessary to her well-being. Good for her.

Audience - NOT GONNA CLAP , NOT GONNA CHEER!! End of presentaton - (Nervously looking at each other) So are we gonna do this anyway guys?..👏👏

well done TED let's the Money talks.

国家统计局首次承认：6.1亿人，月均收入不足1000元！The National Bureau of Statistics admitted for the first time: 610 million people, with an average monthly income of less than 1,000 yuan! $143 in China!!!!!!!!!!

kudos to TED for providing a platform to voices of reasons in the face of the current anti-china tide. it's very courageous but i fear it won't be enough in the face of usa's 500-million anti-china propaganda budget

Communal kitchens in the 80's ? This is quite dramatic opening but perhaps related to rather small towns and experienced among poor people. Teachers and technical cadres, city workers and already existing business people enjoyed their own individual apartments, after all, a lot of apartment buildings have already been constructed in thousands in a lot of cities.

The world needs more mutual understanding not hatred based on differences, the world's needs peace not war due to misconception about each other. Ordinary folks like most of us, we need cheaper technologies to ensure the advancement for us all in the world, not using technology to make threats at each other
