But as I grew up,
I looked around. Nothing I was taught
about communism or socialism was reflected
in real life in China. The reality I saw bore more
of a resemblance to capitalism. Small numbers of people
control most of the wealth. (sewing machines rattling) Workers are exploited. The goal
is to maximize profit. (applause) Even China's government
seems to realize this, and in recent years,
it has worked hard to remind people
that the country is actually socialist, but with
Chinese characteristics. (Xi Jinping speaking Chinese)
