China Literally Changed the Definition of Authoritarianism. It’s a Good Thing Now!

China Literally Changed the Definition of Authoritarianism. It’s a Good Thing Now!

Welcome to China Uncensored. I’m Chris Chappell. 
So, China is run by a brutal authoritarian 
regime, that uses rape as a form or torture.
This isn’t a mystery.
Joe Biden keeps calling Xi Jinping a dictator
Last week, the UK Prime Minister 
grouped China with Russia,  
Iran and North Korea as an 
axis of authoritarian states.
So what is China doing about all this? 
Why, they’re redefining authoritarianism!
That happened on Baidu , 
China’s equivalent of Google.
They now define it as  “a transitional political 
system between totalitarian politics and modern  
democratic politics, with both democratic 
elements and coercion of centralized power”.
Kind of like how Marx said *socialism* was a 
transitional system between capitalist democracy  
and true communism where elected socialists would 
overthrow the government and install communism.  
So yes, it’s true, you can vote your way into 
communism, but you can’t vote your way out.
Baidu also says that authoritarianism 
"provides a stable environment for economic  
development and lays the foundation 
for transformation to democracy".
So in other words, we need authoritarianism 
in order for the economy and democracy to  
thrive! It’s just like Helldivers 2!
This is an absolutely classic Marxist  
tactic. If your enemy uses words 
against you, simply redefine them.
With that in mind, how is Baidu 
defining totalitarianism and democracy?
It describes totalitarianism as when 
the state has "absolute authority over  
society and seeks to control public and 
private life in every possible way”, 
It cites Nazi Germany and 
the Soviet Union as examples.
Interestingly, it doesn’t include China under Mao  
Zedong. I guess he was — what? — a 
democratic authoritarian Capricorn?
Democracy is defined as "a process of listening 
to everyone’s views, with the aim of finding the  
greatest common denominator and acting in 
accordance with the views of the majority"
As for the minority, 
They "must obey the majority…to maximize 
the effectiveness of the system."
Hear that, Uyghurs? You must obey, 
even if you’re facing genocide!  
Why are you crying? Because you 
hate democracy, you dictators?!
Now, keep in mind that these 
definitions are set by Baidu,
not by the CCP directly, by Chinese 
leader Xi Jinping, or by state-run media.
So technically, the CCP isn’t making Baidu’s 
new definition of authoritarianism official.
But given how the CCP has Orwellian control 
over the Chinese internet and corporations…
Chances are, Baidu wouldn’t have made this change  
unless they thought this was what the 
CCP would want. And Given how Baidu’s  
redefinition of authoritarianism hasn’t been 
censored, the CCP is likely cool with it.
So why does China put so much 
effort into redefining words?
The CCP knows that in order to rule 
the world, it needs to deceive it. 
That means changing the meanings of words.
“Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is 
strength. Smart people use TikTok.”  
That last example wasn’t a direct quote, but 
I’m pretty sure it’s what George Orwell implied.
China is by no means a democracy.
And yet, it claims to have the best 
democracy, a whole process people’s democracy.
And that word soup is not what you 
are I would define as democracy,  
and certainly not the kind 
of republic the US has. 
Democracy in China means elections are 
run by CCP committees that pick people  
who are allowed to “run” for national, 
provincial, and local people’s congresses.
It’s this kind of system that allows Xi Jinping to  
become president for life 
with a vote of 2952 to 0. 
I guess Baidu’s definition 
really does make sense.  
China really has blended together 
totalitarianism and democracy.
This is something Mao did way back in the day.
China’s constitution says it’s 
a democratic dictatorship of the  
people. How do you combine 
democracy and dictatorship?
Well as Mao said, “democracy for the people 
and dictatorship over the reactionaries.”
In other words, not everyone in China is part of 
the people. The people are only the ones who agree  
with the Party. 
  
Or as Baidu now says, "the 
minority must obey the majority"
Which is not what happens in the United 
States Republican style of government!
The Communist Party also changed 
the definition of human rights. 
Did you know China is a 
role model for human rights?
Despite what those democracy hating 
Uyghurs would lead you to believe! 
Now you might be wondering how China could 
ever claim it has great human rights.
Freedom House ranked China 9 out of 100 last year,  
with -2 out of 40 for political rights. Let me 
repeat, not zero out of forty. Negative two.
They have negative rights. Which as we all 
know… is a hallmark of a thriving democracy!
Well, human rights aren’t what you or I think of  
as human rights—things like freedom 
for religion, freedom of speech. 
Human rights is lifting people out of poverty!
How did they lift people out of poverty? 
They changed the definition of poverty.
The World Bank defines it as 
making less than $1.90 a day. 
China changed it to less than a dollar a day.
If you use the standard definition of poverty, 
it’s possible that the number of people living in 
poverty in China could be as high as a billion.
Which I can only assume means China 
will soon be changing the definition  
of a billion. It’s only about a couple dozen. 
We say China is committing genocide of Uyghurs 
and putting them in concentration camps. 
They call it vocational 
education and training centers!
There’s an old joke, how do you know when a 
Communist is lying? When they’re speaking. 
But don’t think these are just goofy changes.  
There’s a reason the Communist 
Party is making these changes.
For decades the CCP has tricked 
the West into investing in China,  
giving them access to international 
institutions like the World Trade  
Organization, by promising reform, 
By changing language like this.
It’s that whole thing in Baidu’s definition 
of authoritarianism of “transitioning to  
democracy.” How long is that transition? 
What does that transition look like? Does  
it even matter when you change the definition of 
democracy to mean the same thing as dictatorship?!
So whenever you hear Western leaders talk 
about how we need to work with China,  
just remember, China is a country 
that uses rape as a form of torture.
The CCP hates that I constantly 
remind people of that fact.
That’s why Chinese state-run media has called 
China Uncensored “disgraceful anti-China garbage.”
But the CCP hasn’t seen anything yet. 
I’ll tease a bit that I’ve got a big  
project coming up that I think 
you all are really going to like.
That’s why I need your support on the crowd 
funding website patreon.com/chinauncensored.  
All it takes is a dollar or more an episode 
I make about 16 episodes a month, 
but if that’s too much for you,
You can set a monthly limit. So you could ensure  
I can keep uncensoring China 
for even a dollar a month.
And as a thank you to everyone who 
gives on Patreon, I’l answer one  
of your questions at the end of these episodes.
Today’s question comes from InSyde 
“You know I thought the CEOs of  
large corporations were very smart, well 
informed and have access to all kinds of  
information that the average investor 
does not. So how can they be so stupid  
as to believe all the lies coming out from 
the CCPs bullish fake financial reports?”
Yeah, that’s a great question InSyde. 
I guess I could have included that.
China also changed the definition of GDP!
The thing is, by changing definitions 
like I talked about in this episode,  
the CCP has tricked a lot of people. A lot of 
the investment in China is pension funds. Those  
are long term investments. And the idea 
is that over time, as China reforms and  
heads to democracy, the economy 
will do better and better. So sure,  
right now there’s a smattering of GENOCIDE! 
But in 30 years things will be much better,  
so these ESG, environmental, social, and 
governance, investments will pay off big. 
There’s another side to it.
For many of the CEO’s, their salaries and 
bonuses are based on short term growth.
They get their company into China, 
business booms, they get a fat  
check and get out before China steals the 
company’s IP and runs it out of business.
For a long time, there was 
a very real opportunity to  
make a lot of money quickly in the China market.
But the price of that was 
empowering an authoritarian  
regime, and I’m using the real 
definition of authoritarian,  
that is threatening the entire world. And 
whose economy is currently in freefall.
Thanks for your question and your support InSyde.
And thank you for watching. If you didn’t 
know, I also talk about news and politics  
through the lens of gaming on my new show 
Deep Thoughts While Gaming. Click on this  
video the latest controversy over beautify 
standards in the very popular hit new game  
Stellar Blade.  Let me know what you think.
Once again, I’m Chris Chappell, see you next time.

Marxists love changing definitions to twist reality itself with their doublespeak.
