What Does Democracy Mean To The Chinese? [Street Interview] | ASIAN BOSS

Summary:
In the West changing the government only makes a minor difference to policy. We have freedom of speech although it does not make a lot of difference. In China people like their government and are fairly happy with their freedoms. The Chinese people being interviewed in the video below seem to be very happy and relaxed. Despite a recent report that China is poised to overtake the U.S. economy by 2020, China still remains very much a mystery in the eyes of the Western world and is often portrayed by the Western media as a communist country where its citizens have no freedom. So, we hit the streets of Beijing, China to ask ordinary Chinese people what democracy and freedom mean to them. This is what they had to say.The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees
