host has great hidden bias that nearly spill out. Many of the problems in the US are from people like him, a liar in the mask of intellectual. he knows something but not 100%, but mainly speaks with an ulterior motivation - hated, envy and superiority feeling, these are the source of self deceiving bias make him not willing to see truth when its about China. the basic premise is all wrong, america is not, never had been real democracy, nor democracy = merit or virtue.
