Because Zhang Weiwei is not a man who worships foreign things, Zhang Weiwei once confidently said in his speech: China has basically achieved universal old-age pension and medical insurance, although the level is still uneven, but the United States has not been able to do so.
Zhang Weiwei also said that in terms of purchasing power parity, China has become the world's largest economy, the largest and fastest-growing consumer market, the world's largest foreign exchange reserves and the world's largest trader of goods.
He criticized not only the United States, but also Britain, Greece, India and so on, and of course Switzerland. Some netizens revealed that he was naturalized. In the program, Zhang Weiwei said that he would open the way for western democratic countries.

Zhang Weiwei is a historical necessity for China people to move from inferiority to self-confidence. It must be overcorrected. History will affirm his value.
As far as Zhang Weiwei's point of view is concerned, he agrees with his understanding of the political differences between China and the West, but discussions in other fields can only be superficial, not in-depth and lacking in argumentation. As far as academic rumors are concerned, there is no investigation, but I don't think it has anything to do with the quality of the program.
As for many people who say that he is pandering, I don't think so. If all his opinions go against his wishes, what is his motivation? In the current public opinion environment, no one applauds the good words of the central authorities, and intellectuals are lofty. A scholar who knows that he is not flattering but dares to applaud openly is quite admirable.
In a word, even if there are many loose arguments, even if there are many far-fetched praises to China.
