At 5:43 the interviewer babbles like an infant and strings together the most nonsensical, triggerword-loaded sentence I’ve ever seen when asked how he defines a dictator. Jiang Zemin is noticeably and understandably confused. Beyond embarrassing.
Also, holy shit the interviewer said “Many [Chinese] scholars believe the president has, in effect, made a deal with the Chinese people: to increase their economic and social freedom, to work and live as they please, and, in return, the people give up any right to challenge the authority of the Communist Party” like it’s a polemic.
If this is considered true for a thought experiment, and Jiang Zemin/the Party held up their end of this “deal”, why would the people feel the need to challenge the authority of the Party? “Oh no my government is setting goals, and meeting them, and raising everyone’s standard of living, and remaining committed to peace and stability!”
Damned cult channel, have to describe him lambasting shitty journalists as ‘freaking out’. Also describing it as ‘found footage’ like they smuggled it out like the fucking Death Star plans.
But yes, ‘too young, too simple, sometimes naïve’ is such a killer line.

I especially enjoyed his humor in this one: https://youtube.com/watch?v=1tNMH2M_jJ0

Its quite a pleasant surprise that most of the comments are on Jiang’s side, agreeing with him even.
