If your plan is to get Americans to think, I can assure you it's a lost cause.

"Its not a contest between democracy vs communism, it is plutocracy vs meritocracy" - insightful!

The key point of this speech is that Chinese experienced the best 30 years and US keeps telling them to overturn Chinese Communist Party. I don’t know why American politicians can’t see this. The reason is that Americans don’t want to recognize China’s economic success because if they do, American people may start to question their political regime. So it looks to me Americans are not that confident in their system, either. That’s quite understandable. The problem is, no system is perfect. Recognizing other system’s success is the first step to remedy your system’s problems. We all can learn from each other. As much as I have lost confidence in US elementary educational system, I still believe we should combine the two systems and keep the parts that are successful.

I’m not sure if China had wanted to win, but pretty sure that US doesn’t want to lose.

The biggest mistake was the US and the UK did not discuss and plan their economic/political plan in china. When UK returned HK to China and made China guarantee 50 years of 1 country 2 systems, the hope was that HK under a democratic rule, with Foreign trade with the western nations, HK would prosper disproportionately when compared to the rest of China. This would have created an economic stimulus to the mainland Chinese to want to rise up and demand Democracy and capitalism in the mainland. That was UK's plan. Somewhere down the line, Greedy US/UK wanted more and more profits for their products globally and they wanted into the china market due to its immense population. But due to the higher education level, cost of living, the higher standard of living in their countries, labor was not cheap. In search of cheap labor they started to outsource manufacturing to CHINA. Which was the biggest mistake that they have ever made. By outsourcing the world's manufacturing to China they fuelled the biggest economic growth in china, outshining HK. That crushed any hope for a democratic revolution. Now China wants to make its own products and wants to push its own products globally and that is threatening the UK/US's dominance in the global economy undercutting their profits. That's why they are turning on China. Human right violations, communist governance, blah blah blah all just excuses its all about the money. Don't forget the US sells weapons to Saudi Arabia, a country that executes any citizen that speaks badly about its royal family which ordered the assassination of a Washington Post journalist in another country. The US bombards the middle east every year and kills 10,000 every year, enhanced interrogation techniques (definitely not torture look up "Abu Gharib").

America is an open society with a closed mind. China is a closed society with an open mind.

That is EXACTLY what my Chinese GF says again & again to me. "America keeps saying Chinese Government is bad & so on....but we Chinese in mainland really enjoy our lives. We respect our leaders & we have good lives, so why should we listen & believe what America says about our government???"😂😂😂

Appreciate Dr.Kishore Mahabubani's intellectual contribution to the humanity.

This is what happens when people put profit over their nation. They did any and everything to keep shareholders happy.

“I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victory was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not buy looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.” - Zeis Siez comment from ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cV2TjLB6p4igr30.html

as a Chinese living abroad, the education level of the locals always surprise me, not only science but also politics and philosophy. with the low value provided, they want to be paid high or rather taking the pension. the simple solution is to let them realize: the competition is global, get more education or just work harder. talk less, do more.

Jimmy Carter referred to the US as “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” a result, he said, of the US forcing other countries to “adopt our American principles.” “It’s more than you can imagine,” Carter said of U.S. war spending. “China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.” China’s peace dividend has allowed and enhanced its economic growth, Carter said. “How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?” he asked. China has around 18,000 miles (29,000 km) of high speed rail lines while the US has “wasted, I think, $3 trillion” on military spending. According to a November 2018 study by Brown University’s Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs, the US has spent $5.9 trillion waging war in Iraq.

"beware of the military industrial complex" - January 17, 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower

Haters please listen till the end before making convenient accusations n hatred. You may enrich your knowledge and not humiliate yourself further.

USA Custom: why you come to the USA? Chinese Traveller: I'm here to learn the brainwash techniques. USA Custom: We Americans will never brainwash our own people. Chinese Traveller: Yeah! That's exactly what I want to learn!!

He is absolutely right. Aircraft carriers no longer makes any sense, they cost billions of dollars to maintain and can be sunk with a few missiles. The weapons that work best nowadays isn't a carrier but weapons that are mobile and agile. We're talking about automated drones, robots, ai controlled defense systems, etc. America needs to factor in asymmetric warfare in it's calculations. I agree dumping $850 billion a year into military no longer makes any sense. The US military budget needs to cut in half and use the savings in R&D or improving the economy especially now that over 40 million people are now jobless.

Really good talk. Informative and unbiased. Focused on the facts, not ideology.

Amazing. I feel like my brain just evolved. Will definitely read this book

Very exhilarating interview, he’s right despite the fact that a lot of people don’t want to admit it. Hopefully this country takes a closer look and finds a real way to step our game up because what happened to the USSR isn’t gonna happen to China.

"Western democracy is a game for the rich, so don't take it too seriously" - Vladimir Lenin

Great talk. USA used to have great respect from ordinary Chinese people, their advanced technology, the democracy system, the high living standard. There was an America Dream in ordinary chinese people too, but is replaced by a new Chinese dream. The nice figure of USA when she still has the confidence and moral is fading out. It's hard to say who will win, but USA is failing to lead the world.

Very interesting talk. I've lived in China for over 10 years, and it's been an amazing experience. When you move to such a vastly different culture, you realise that the "normal" standards and social rules that have been carved into your character are not necessarily right. Many people can't deal with that. It angers those that are too dim to see beyond their programming. I wish there were more unbiased intelligent talks like this on YT.

Very intelligent professor I have ever seen! Hopefully we can see more of your videos.

Love seeing some genuine and intelligent interviewer conducting it, unlike most of the western media which is full of assertiveness and aggression

when asking a Chinese: what do you think of communism? response: What communism?

As a British Chinese person, this video hits the nail right on the head between the differences. Let us not argue over differences but understand each other's perspective.

Scholars in Singapore are very rational and objective, and look at issues from the neutral perspective of China and the United States, which is more rational and objective than American scholars. What a ludicrous logic is it for a declining power to point the way to a thriving power, to turn the rising country against the government and to learn how they are in decline?

Imagine a nation being SO powerful that their internal affair can cause international warfare. Nobody would imagine France launching a war in middle east just to distract its internal mess or electory campaign, but for America? It's totally possible.

It is a fact that average income of the bottom 50% of the US population has been sliding down which has been pointed out by Professor Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia U)many times. This income inequality is a "structural problem" and is the cause of declining life expectancy , rising stress , rising suicide rates etc . The US is the most unequal country compared to other high income countries in Europe. Prof Jeffrey Sachs says this problem is a structural problem and Monetary policy could not solve this problem. Donald Trump saw that this inequality has caused much dissatisfaction among the population affected by this and took advantage of it with his spin and lies to sway the voters to his side and the rest is history. If only the US government and US think tanks would listen to learned economists like Jeffrey Sachs, Kishore Mahbubani and Yukon Huang(Sr Fellow at Carnegie Endowment) to name a few and not only one sided views from the hawks in Washington DC. Hopefully the next POTUS will engaged the views of these learned academicians.

To say that the USA goes into conflicts half cocked with nations is fairly generous. Just look at our history for the past 30 years and that is all that has been done. It’s as if the USA is just intent on supporting the industrial side of the military complex with no intention of anything but. Just look at the unresolved messes that exist, the unprecedented spending that continues. And look up that word he use: plutocracy, while your at it.

Honestly speaking, I don’t like the title of this book. “Has China Won?” Sounds totally like those kind of click-baiting “best seller” books. I watched the whole video and generally agree with what the author said about China. BUT, as a Chinese, I have to say what he said is something most common Chinese have been aware of for years. From Chinese perspective, nothing is insightful or impressive in this conversation. It’s just something commonly recognized. China do has some deeper problems but also needs more deep analysis and intelligence. On the other side, it’s interesting to see most western commenters cannot even accept these already superficial fact about China. They are still obsessed with topics like human rights or dictatorship, which are too simple. I live in Canada and in local media most of the time when there’s report on China, it’s about politics and usually in hostile attitude and interviewed with non-Chinese . Almost no reports about ordinary life in China. That’s the problem here. You can assume China as opponent but you need to analyze and understand it first. If you don’t respect and pay enough attention to your enemy but just keep mocking him, you lose the vision on what’s happening. There’s large Chinese community in North America and it’s not difficult to find a Chinese and ask how they think. A lot of Chinese immigrants have real working experience in either Chinese government or major companies and their insights can be probably much more valuable than a so-called white professor on political science. Go interview them and learn from them.

The problem was made by the UK, when they were in charge of the HK regime, they didn't practice the so called freedom and democracy. In stead, UK was doing colonism. Colony means the UK people in HK were higher class than the Chinese. Freedom and democracy, both such concepts were 2 seperate jokes or fair tales in the past HK before 1997.

If arrogance leads downfall follows .

Many Americans’ impression of China is not a result of thinking, but an emotion. Because the US government and media are intensifying this sentiment every day, many people are full of suffering in their lives. They need to vent their targets and reasons. China has become the target. Emotions are very communicative, so most people in the United States are reluctant to contact a video like this, because it is always easier to blame others than to reflect on yourself. Thinking about problems is always harder than venting emotions. To this day, I feel that it is impossible to change the trend of the times, and there may be a war between China and the United States. Maybe Americans don’t understand the differences in culture and political system, but it’s impossible for American political elites not to understand. There is no perfect political system in this world, only a more appropriate political system. Countries that the United States strongly resents generally involve interest pulls. If interest does not exist, many disputes, slanders, and anger will not exist.

I was much more interested by his point of view on US budget managenent and the inherent flaws in its political system. The US seems to be stuck 50 years in the past when military might made right, spending billions in foreign military bases and installations in the interest of the big-wigs of the military industrial complex and fossil fuel industries.

This should be news ! Not the fake news we watch daily ! This is real talk ! USA 🇺🇸

We hurt ourselves here in the US. Jimmy Carter is right.

India goverment should ask him to be advisor of their country

A brilliant discussion that compelled me to think again in a different dimension. Thanks

That’s why many Chinese support Trump. He shall be remembered as the biggest contributor to China’s rise.

I quote professor Kishore " PLUTOCRACY vs MERITOCRACY" Americans have but put to sleep more than half a century ago. During this time China with the help of their diaspora have been researching the best alternatives for their society and have come up with a winning solution. To sum up America predicament I offer this equation Democracy + Capitalism = Plutocracy

Last I check, a pretty high percentage of the high level Chinese government came from STEM background in term of education. Lot of engineers and project managers. It is also true that they all worked their way up from local level administration. I am really hoping that we here in america gets more STEM in our decision making groups

He knows us well, this is the guy we cannot underestimate.

wow that was a really great interview! What a great analysis (and not a politically-sided talk). Thanks!

Kishore is the man. "for the bottom 50% in the US quality of life has been dropping drastically for the last 30 years but in China it has been the best 30 years for the last 3000 years" "America thinks it's a fight between democracy and communism while in reality it's American plutocracy vs Chinese meritocracy"

A malay proverb says in a war a winner is reduced to coal whilst a loser is reduced to ashes.ponder on.

China has brilliant people leading it. Here in the US, business leaders, politicians, entertainers, journalists have all inherited their position and few have the talent that set their parents or grandparents apart from everyone else.

Dr. Mahbubani makes a lot of excellent points about the challenges between US and China. He focuses mainly on the deep structures of the political landscape but neglects even deeper issues like geography, population and natural resources. The reason the United States has such a large naval force has a lot to do with US isolation. Geographically, the US has no neighbors that really challenge its hegemony. In fact, new trade deals have strengthened the ties between US, Canada, and Mexico. China on the other hand faces neighbors all around that are growing more irritated about Chinese expansion. These neighbors include India and Japan, two of the most powerful fighting forces in the world. Japan is augmenting its world class navy with F-35 fighters and India has been preparing its own borders in anticipation for conflict. China has the largest population in the world but due to the one child policy, it is rapidly aging and is extremely skewed to males. Over the next 30 years, much of the Chinese middle class will need to provide some sort of social security for their elders. Further, having so few females to males will lead to very few children to take care of the next generation. In short, there wont be enough tax payers to support the current Chinese millennial generation. This plus a number of other factors is causing capitol flight as well as intellectual flight from the country. The US has an abundance of some of the most important natural resources. Oil, natural gas, water, and fertile land for agriculture. Even in a world inching toward renewable energy, wind, solar and hydro-electric power doesn't come close to the energy density of oil and natural gas. Having access to these energies is increasingly important to continue to run the country. Currently, China imports much of its oil form Russia and depends on their cooperation. If Russia starts to have it own conflicts with other countries it could lead to issues in the supply chain. I still think Dr. Mahbubani brings up some interesting ideas to consider about how the landscape of geopolitical conflict is changing. There are, however, many more facets to consider than the political structure of the US and China.

Fascinating stuff!

LOL we dont manufacture a damn thing here, everything is for profit here, and we havent invested in our public educational system in god knows how long.

exactly, there are many more details to this but the key components were covered. good video.

The bottom 50% of workers in America have seen their wages go down for several reasons. We allowed our manufacturing jobs to go to China and elsewhere for the cheap labor and lack of environmental laws. We allowed the theft of our trade secrets and intellectual property. We entered one sided business deals that benefited the Chinese more than us. We did not secure our southern border and allowed cheap labor to enter our job market. We kept buying cheap imported goods instead of searching for the Made in the USA label. We should push for the completion of the border wall, cut back our consumption of Chinese goods, and send home to Mexico, and other places, those who entered our country without an invitation. We also should stop immigration for people without any needed skills and means to support themselves. But, at least we have a president who is aware of all this.

We fought too many unnecessary long wars

Can you please enable community contribution for this video so we can add translations.

Great thinker. Definitely going to buy your book for my next read.

An interesting thought. While having a geopolitical contest. How one can decide of not stooping so low in terms of cyber warfare,speaking of setting some rules? The same rules have always became a chain for nations in the actual moment.

Great Interview! Extremely knowledgeable individuals

People sound so smart when they are engaging in hindsight.

While The Dragon has grown by leaps and bounds, just interested in having a peaceful and happy living in its courtyard, the young fox on the other side of the mountain feels threatened because of its self inflicted insecurity. Hence the young fox has started thinking and planning to get rid of the Dragon. It's that simple.

A wise man deep understanding Chinese culture and history !

Thanks, excellent discussion 👍

anyone to say something about his perfect hairstyle?

Woah what a good interview :D ... lots of good information. Finally, someone who is talking in an objective way.

very important 15:45 a person from Harvard told him that a $100k hypersonic missile could take down a 1 billion dollar aircraft carrier and we are spending trillions on maintaining ships.

It’s refreshing to listen to reason.

No need to debate, go to China major cities and major cities in other country. Seeing yourself worth more than reading and hearing many major news. I am saying now, not some like 10-20 years ago. It changed a lot.

Search for "Xi Jinping and China's Role in a Shifting World" talk conducted by the KAS Media Programme Asia. Dr Kishore goes into more detail about US/China relationship.

"Inevitable but avoidable". Interesting choice of words.

GOOD talk!

Belt and road initiative, maritime silk road, are brilliant business without the threat by military force👍and the direct pipeline from Russia is great business.

This is deep. Much respect.

Kishore taught me PLUTOCRACY vs MERITOCRACY. Thank you. I pick Meritocracy anytime.

China just slapped Australia with tariff on barley. Atleast Australia should know how to behave in the coming days

How lucky is Singapore to have such a wise person

Need to get a copy of that book.

I think he's right. I live in America. Mainland Chinese people can find it difficult initially to adjust, but they work really hard and succeed. It's the same with Indians, although given their open society and English speaking abilities, they tend to succeed earlier and much faster. Americans largely have been spoilt by the largesse that they have. They tend to complain alot and expect that after going to college for a Liberal Arts degree, they'll have a 100,000 dollar job just waiting for them. I dont have anything against liberal arts, but I feel Americans have lost the ability of nation building and hard work.

Gold quote "Trade deficit always exists between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who asks a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?"

博士的眼光真的很深远，分析问题角度让人大开眼界

I always admire this gentleman....very good and informative conversation.

The difference in cultures between the US and China is the following metaphor: The US takes an orange, cuts it in half, and uses both sides to juice it until it is dry discarding afterwards. The Chinese takes an orange and study to try find solutions to grow an orange grove to become a partner. In both situations people are the oranges.

Even though I still believe that China remains an adversary to the values and ideals of the established international order, I still think that Dr Mahbubani is right in saying the most important bilateral relationship of the century can be used to pursue good.

Its the speed of progress that perplexes the West. The last time we witnessed that kind of speed was with Japan. And if Japan is any indication of what the West can expect from China, in the next fifty years China will be the undisputed global leader. A nations progress is motivated by its ordinary citizens collective belief in the abilities of their society and not by some political ideology. The governments role is to simply facilitate the needs of the majority of their citizens before addressing the needs of the minorities and those of the rich. In the West the governments are bent over backwards to facilitate the minorities and the rich at the expense of the majority. In this instance, the Chinese government is acting more democratically than most.

This really is one of the best, most insightful video on the topic... Excellent.

the historical comparison is a very interesting point, also there is another topic kind of relate to the plutocracy and meritocracy: the good governor, it's about what they do not what they say! I think it's not simply about black and white(not that one), there is no perfect solution in the world, if the rules was made by human then it can be distort by human

Priority for chinese is Stability of the nation (what chinese want the most) Priority for American is Free but it is not free when went to hospital it cost you a lot of money Avarage Haircut in china cost $4 USD, in US its cost $28 USD

thank you for helping us understand.

Wow. Such an eloquent man. 🙌🏽

The explanation is very in-depth and fantastic.

Thanks you for this education. ..appreciate it ..👍

There is an inevitable and avoidable conflict between tyranny and truth.

Oh my god Dr.Kishore had taught us once before and today I see him on youtube. Definitely gonna watch this video.

I wish I could be as smart as this intelligent man!

So informative

One other thing I didn’t agree. When we talk about today’s China, we refers to the country under CCP. The government is only 70 years old. This government also have done culture revolution which destroyed all the traditions, morals built in the last 2000 years. The scholar keep changing the comparison. Sometime he refer to ccp government, but sometime he refer to the old China.

Very insightful analysis. Remember the conflict between the US and China is both inevitable and avoidable. It all depends on the leaders we choose in the U.S and the leaders the CCP selects to run China.

This is a really interesting channel btw... We love these debates.

Amazing insight. It is not democracy vs communism but plutocracy vs meritocracy. people like facebook bosses etc are too over paid leaving the rest struggling.

This guy is too smart... we need to protect him.

This was aired a year ago and now the implications are manifesting today, the dollar has lost its global strength and countries are moving away from it. So prophetic.

The top 1% of American gets richer n richer even during this pandemic. So the real problem in America is about wealth distribution, which an effective American govt should do
