60 minutes archives: interview with China’s Jiang Zemin

I saw this "60 minutes" rewind interview with Jiangzemin this morning. I was surprised how friendly and humble Jiang was during the interview. 

 

The reporter Mr. Wallace asked lots of tough questions including China’s dictatorship, the tank man at Tiananmen square, the Falun Gong in China etc. From my perspective, most of Jiang's arguments are pretty reasonable. Only when the reporter asked about the censorship in China, Jiang’s respond made me laugh out Loud: lots unhealthy meterials especially pornography on the internet which does great harm to our youngsters... Jiang responed.

 

On the contrary, I feel Wallace was kind of arrogant. I totally agree with one comment left on Youtube:“Wallace was very condescending tbh, can’t imagine him interviewing POTUS in a same manner” 

 

BTW, I googled. “tbh” means “to be honest”. 

 

I expressed my thoughts about the interview to my husband during lunch. He said I am too young too Naive. "Of course westerners are very condescending and patronizing, but Jiang was an old Fox too." My husband said: "Jiang was playing nice person cards before his US visit. The US did not view China as a threat for decades. Until now..."

 

What are your thoughts? At least I can not imagine the current Chinese leader will do a sit down interview with western media (or with any media) like Jiang did decades ago.

 

Thank you for reading. If you see any mistakes in my writing please let me konw. I really appreciate
