In a speech delivered at the Shenzhenwan Dialogue Forum in Shenzhen, China on October 16, 2020, Chinese sociologist, Dr. Li Yi said that China would overtake the United States in GDP by 2027, and that COVID-19 has been harmful to the US and Europe but beneficial to China and North Korea.
He praised North Korea and its repressive “system” for having “zero” COVID-19 cases and said that the number of COVID-19 deaths in China, which he claimed is 4,000, is virtually zero compared to the 220,000 deaths in the US.
Dr. Yi holds a PhD in sociology from the University of Illinois. This video was originally uploaded to Dr. Yi’s personal YouTube account.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT
“So this system can do it. Our system is good, but not as good as North Korea’s. We still have 4,000 dead, right? But if 4,000 [Chinese] die versus 220,000 in the United States, we haven’t really lost a single person, have we? We’re close to zero infections and zero deaths. If 4,000 people out of 1.4 billion people die, that’s the same as no one getting sick and no one dying…
“The US will not survive. Now let me say again… Almost none of the 1.4 billion Chinese people realize this. It’s not the US that is screwing with China – we are the ones driving America to its death, because we’re going to overtake the US in 2027, in terms of GDP. If we go with the PPP, in terms of real purchasing power, we already surpassed the United States in 2014…
“As long as 1.4 billion Chinese people eat, sleep, defecate, and urinate every day… As long as we go to work every day, we will drive the US to its death…
“So America is panicking now. It is really panicking. This is why the two American parties, their government and military, their industry, their public officials, and academics, and all the American people of all walks of life – over 75% of the American people – now hate China. They hate China so much that they hope China collapses tomorrow and goes to Hell, because China has pushed the US into a corner. The conflict is irreconcilable…
“In a few words, the reason there won’t be a war is because we have fought the War to resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, as well as the War to Aid Vietnam to Resist US Aggression. These two wars have already been fought.
“Of course, we still have a war to fight. We have to take Taiwan, right? I’ll take it. You don’t even dare to fight me, whether I take it or not. If you want to fight China…
“China’s ‘Two Bombs and One Satellite’ during Mao Zedong’s era were ready for you. Do you dare? There is no war between nuclear powers. You must be kidding, right?”
