Fireside Chat: In Conversation with Joe Kahn
As executive editor of The New York Times, Joe Kahn oversees all aspects of its global newsroom and news report at a time when independent journalism around the world is under greater threat than ever.
How does The Times approach coverage of China and its relations with the U.S.? How does it maintain editorial independence and combat disinformation in a bitterly contested U.S. election year? How will The Times sustain growth at a time when news organizations are struggling to find healthy business models? And how is it handling new developments like the impact of generative AI?
Join us for an in-depth discussion on all this and more in a Q&A moderated by FCC President Lee Williamson.

    @23:20. You've got to be joking!! So-called _"Freedom of the press", "Freedom of speech"_ It's clearly free for you but not free for me!! You guys keep going around accusung others of not having freedom of speech, only to then turn around and silence me and delete my posts!! I want to have a debate. But it's impossible to have one. My comments keep on being deleted (no matter what videos I watch). I used to also debate on mainland Chinese sites a number of years ago. And my comments there also occasionally get deleted. But at least unlike yourselves, they don't go around preaching "free speech" and accuse others of not having free speech while at the same time deleting my comments! You guys really have thick skin. If I were you, I would be embarrassed to mention about "free speech". _(I guess you're going to delete my comment. But I still want to say it anyway)_

    To answer the question:- why not? The party is a learning party and a self criticising one. The senior politicians are schooled in special Communist schools and they compare their system with others. They admire USA and study USA economic systems. They will take the best examples and replicate that but they will not change their political system which has delivered the goods to millions.

    I don't reapect this old man talking about Hong Kong in China. The West domination for 99yrs in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong people didn't have any rights to vote and people are mostly slavery workers for powerful rich elite westerners. Neocon Fascist tried to put negative propaganda about China for 100 yrs and teach in Hong Kong education in western thinking and brain washed bunch Chinese to think how bad the china is. Westerner CIA and Christian group tried to creat instability in Hong Kong and retaliation against China. Still now they are non stop to undermind Chinese people and the government. The Westerners are impearlist colonial warmingers and racist. They will do everything to sabotage China government till this date even though Hong Kong is not their territory, but western like the U.S. and British still want to hold their power to continue control Hong Kong people. It is shame on them these elite group that already destroyed America and its people inequality and poverty. Now they want to come here in Hong Kong lecture the Chinese government??? They should keave politic along to allow its own Hong Kong people to flourish into unify with China instead try to make trouble. They should go back to their own country and help to fight the economic problem they created, the national 35 trillion debts, and security boarder issues, Israel war against Gaza and Ukraine war against Russia etc ...but they rather want to act likt they know it all when they were stealing Chinese treasures for more than houndred year and making Hong Kong people live terrible conditions because of the western Imperialist greed. They did that to many middle Eastern countries and Africa countries. They tried to steal resources and enslave the people for their own power and wealth. Hong Kong people wake up and do your own research without rely on Western misinformation and bias talking point!!!!!!

In terms of Hong Kong, I agree that the old paradigm is over, and the elites in Hong Kong are now frozen in face of such change.

And it is too bad that the interviewer guy seems locked onto US-slogan type of questions based on deeply engrained American propaganda. 92 million of the population? When you take out youth, the elderly, the disinterested and so on, it is a HUGE percent of the population. It is like the whole population is running the country! Liberal Western society is now in an advanced stage of decay from within. I wish the US well, but it doe not have the ability to bring in leaders who are capable of delivering anthing anymore.

    Good insights, Eric Li is a very sharp guy. However, he didn't answer the question on how could China solve the bad emperor problem (one party state with no rule of laws and inability of people to change the government peacefully through free and fair elections). I truly want to know his view on that. As an example, China suffered greatly under Chairman Mao's "great leap forward" and "cultural revolution". Luckily, Chairman Mao died before he could continue those dangerous initiatives that could practically destroy China.

  • @godzillamothra5983
    @godzillamothra5983 16 днів тому

    The problem with HK is that it grew complacent. They think they will always be a step ahead of Mainland China. They stop being competitive. When China grew richer, and Chinese shoppers started to flood HK, buying up luxury goods and property, driving up the property prices and inflation, HKers were shocked, then turned into resentment, and started to reject their Chinese identity and connection to Mainland. That is a suicide by choice. HK is a gateway to China, without China, HK is gateway to nowhere. I'm pretty sure Stephen has well meaning for HK and China. But unfortunately, his vision for HK and Mainland China is outdated. Current China and HK situation are far different than in the past. For one thing, China and the US relationship has fell into situation that I think beyond saving. China can't count on its past economic model of exporting cheap goods to the US to grow. That's why China is pivoting from export to domestic consumption, from exporting to the west to exporting to the global south, from exporting cheap goods to exporting high margin goods like EVs, smartphones and other electronics, renewable energy etc. This will certainly create conflicts with the G7, the old rich clubs whose members certainly don't want to be replaced by any outsiders even though some of the members in the club don't deserve their seats anymore. Since conflicts are inevitable, why China must keep playing by the same old rules and model? HKers better wake up fast and realize that its future is always tie to China. HK should feel lucky if it can be just "another Chinese city." There are far worse consequences than that. For example, it can end up becoming slum next to Shenzhen.

The west could be superficially high or it could be miscounted or even double counted. This is the mistake of the host to assume the death is transparent, our death count is highly politicized just as the Vaccines mandates are. People think China has no free speech but it incorrect, it actually has! it only media that is regulated to the point Eric mentioned why but I think people are misunderstanding the principle in "free press" versus "regulated press" and also looking at whom it benefits. The west has no free media is has corporate media that is not accountable for anything.
