Why the West Always Gets China Wrong (The 3 Myths)
Why has the West consistently failed to predict China's trajectory? For decades, experts have called for an imminent collapse or a democratic revolution that never arrived.

In this video, we go beyond the headlines to explore the "wrong glasses" the West has used to view the Middle Kingdom.
We break down the three fundamental myths identified by scholars Rana Mitter and Elsbeth Johnson: the false link between wealth and democracy, the misunderstanding of authoritarian legitimacy, and the assumption that Chinese culture will inevitably Westernize. From the deep roots of Confucian collectivism to the unique "State-Capitalist" model of the CCP, discover why China is playing by an entirely different set of rules.
