China Is An Unaccountable Actor: Views From India, Australia and US 

Dr. Kori is a waste of time. High on emotions and low on substance. Sameer was spot on.

The (USA) America call it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question... Instances of the United States "liberated" or overthrowing, or attempting to overthrow, a foreign government since the Second World War.

It's high time dictators in Africa, should think twice about investing their ill-gotten fortunes in America, Britain and European countries. You have seen how innocent Russian citizens have been victimised. Invest at home, Africa is your home where you belong.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration in Hague is Not a UN agency. Please don't use the term "UN Court". US stealing Diego Garcia islands from Mauritius was ruled illegal by the World court which is a UN Agency. US and UK ignored the ruling. I don't know how the South China Sea dispute has anything to do with the Solomon Islands security agreement with China. US and Australia was trying to plot a regime change in Solomon Islands and this prompted the Solomon Islands to seek a security arrangement with China.

It is fine and dandyt for the QUAD for having bases in the first island chain just less than 400 km from the coast of China and periodically sailed war ships within 200 km from the coast of China yet Australia get upset when China develop relationships with the Pacific islands? Double standards or hypocrisy?

34:00 Dr. Kori seemed to have no clue what was happening in Ukraine. Was he fooled by her own mainstream media or was she promoting the false information on purpose?

Absolutely loved Samir's straight to the point viewpoints in very objective manner.

Samir Sharan- Seedhi baat no bakwaas

This Indian dude is on fire. They're rising up from their slumber.

When they say rule based world order. Who defines the rule ? UN or just like before only West ? if UN, we welcome, if West, Please No more West defined Rule over the UN Rule.

Samir Saran is a smart guy, We need more people who can think and speak their thoughts like him.

21:11 pakisthan always like to be in trouble...at this point u am certain that india is just waiting to pakisthan to self destruct themselves..which has already started and then deal with them

Bangladesh's are becoming smart in playing politics for china .......

Today, China owns most major unicorns of India. China is massively involved in Indian main street, not just at the borders in Ladakh. China has huge trade surplus with India. Policy makers should stop blustering rhetoric, and be more fact based.

The presenter of this programme is OUT OF TOUCH!!!

Scholarly yet firmly down-to-earth.

‘Thief always think others are thieves because they know theft too well from being thief .’

Still hasn't changed, Mr. Saran. Vishal Jood had a target painted on him by a minister of the Australian government, Alex Hawke. You may let this slide, but we will not, and we will seek retribution. The anglo-saxons will be made to exit the vast Australian continent. They took it from the indigenous Australian people and it is up to Indians to throw them out and restore the balance by correcting historical injustices.

AT LAST we hear Samir Saran, an Indian who speaks with common sense

Talk is hot air. Where are all the 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. year plans of all these countries in question? Which countries claims to have these plans. More importantly can any of these countries show. evidence of meeting the goals of these plans. There is one country discussed that has such a plan but more importantly, this country can show concrete evidence of meeting their goals. The proof is in the pudding.... the rest is all hot air and rhetoric. 💡

Cccp bots are all over the comment section ranting out their supremacist ideas about themselves and belittling others!!

In the Last 2 years, trade between India & China has dramatically increased. So I guess everything between them is honky dowry.

When politics takes precedence over academics, discussions among scholars are meaningless. American opinion is the greatest politics!

Ukraine definitely performed heroically. And Russia suffered a hug defeat initially around Kiev. However, this, along with the toughest economic sanction ever formed, fails to change the Ukraine War fundamentally. Russia is going to win and it did not even mobilize yet. The only question is how much the price Putin is willing to pay to get how big the victory.

Accountable to who and why ? Are any of us accountable to China ?

A plead to our Indian brothers and sisters, please stop saying Indo China Border, because India has physically border with Tibet in the past and still today with the Chinese occupied Tibet. India had never ever had a part of its land touching with China. China today stand on a land occupied since 1950 Tibet. The Border police force that had with India and Independent Tibet are still there and they are called Indo-Tibetan Border Police(ITBP) force. Jai Bharat! Jai Tibbat! Free Tibet!

Australia? No 1 Lapdog of US

Grt samir sir

Which time video is this?

Indian town planning and urban horticulture is getting worse and virtually non existent. Fast economic growth with corruption is resulting in unplanned and hapazard city development and urban ghettos without much greenery.

Sameer, your analysis is brilliant, because you are specific with your actionable items and deliverables. Kudos!

Ever time I listen to Samir Saran I learn something. Not only is he articulate but he also has some original thoughts on global issues. It's a pleasure to listen to him.

Sameer is blunt. He shamed everysingle one here with facts.

Good to hear good to be optimistic and not pessimistic ,or over critical.. peaceful world for generations to come that is what we all want. Though we as children grew up hearing horror stories of two world wars. Jived through 1947. Horror became penniless overnight. Lived through experiments of converting religiously narrow minded people to become world minded citizens. Interesting time’s historically, survived it all holding on to my faith. I am Hindu l have return ticket.

somebody is going to get hurt...

She is bonkers on Russian military successes in Ukraine !

Free Tibet and evrything will fall in plac, as far as China is concerned!

Biden is doing a good job ? Who is the moderator from bbc ? 🤣 Maybe US can teach Russians who to scoot like inAfganasthan

You are right man ..spot on

samir sir just makes me so excited to listen him oooh man its sooo much exciting he is so specific and to the point it hits the point

Prepared questions , but no reaction to answers.

Oh we thought Quad is not about countering China under the order of the U.S.? Lol

Saran is very intelligent for a person that sounds like Farhan Akthar👍😂

Can’t wait for trump to come back and kick out these wokes

32:25. I disagree. Putin has already stated they have nothing but time and are in no rush. It’s just these talking heads in the west that say the Russian army sucks. By the way I’m American. You’re welcome

Matter is prestige " is for maintain, whoo dislikes it ? Is egos , meaning what against loosing whatever with man life's firstly, definition of ego" and prestige to prestigious .

Unfortunately, the indians used to call the occupier of their country Sahib or my Sir which has never happened in the history of humanity, that was pure humiliation to India which once was a magnificent cultural and financial power. I hope India is not going to be used and fooled again by colonial Masters, the future belongs to Asia, including India. The enemy wants to divide and conquer

The Chinese don't need to purchase any Australian goods if you chosen to be unfriendly toward them, no reason why Australian and the Chinese unable to work together unless Australian government remain chosen be 'Puppies' of U.S.

Not to sound too cheesy but the Eagle, Tiger/Elephant, Kangaroo, and Giant Squid can defeat a dragon easily.

Proud of you Samir.

Good ideas to work for World

11:13 is he joking? Biden doing a good job?

China is both Australian and Indian no.1 trade partner. It means their people consider China as a true accountable actor, no matter how their politicians cry.

We saw Bangladesh view too, good inputs gathered

The US representative was no match with the Indian counterpart. Some more intelligent person would have made the discussion more interesting.

How many of your student will come to study.

The world is multipolar.. not unipolar anymore old days..

Indians still speak with our worst enemies, China included. Then why would we stop talking to Russia

21:11 'Pakistan always likes to be in trouble", that's how you go for the jugular vein and give a blow below the belt.... at the same time... great world play.

I wish she was my therapist. Her voice is so soothing it calm me down

Replace UK with India at the UN Security Council

Practice what they preach. Don't desccriminate. Be responsible and open to change

Basically India and Australia are born to be brothers

There was discussion in Indian Lokasabha on russia's invasion of Ukrain. It was in zero hour where no record is maintained of discussion.but, discussions were mde against russia.

32:00

Size of China ? Whoo will decide ? Power or justice ? Existence of "justice" is mortal ?

Sameer Sir 🎊

Kosovo was colonised by America, is that international rules based order colonialism.

55:10

“Rule based order “ now means lie based order.

Samir 9/10. Kori 3.5/10

33:30 she need to wake up.

Sameer brings well articulated clarity to the session.

Why would any country have to "account" to you crowd who don't even spell out who funds you?

Turkish propaganda about bayka bayraktar TB2 misled Azerbaijan campaign ; It was Israeli Harop drone that the stared in the show.

The US really needs to make clear what the rules are which make up the "Rules Based Order". For example, the US says China should abide by the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea but the US itself is one of only two countries that are not signatories to the convention. Similarly, the US says that China should abide by the ruling of the World Court directed arbitration with respect to the dispute between China and the Philippines over the SCS. But the US does not recognise the jurisdiction of the World Court. It's clear then that UNCLOS and the World Court aren't part of the "Rules Based Order". So what is ? For example, what rule allowed the US to invade Iraq based on fabricated evidence of WMD, resulting in the deaths of a million people. Or the invasion of Afghanistan resulting in a quarter of a million deaths. Someone help me: what are the rules ! Then there are the many agreements that the US has reneged on such as the nuclear agreement with Iran, the intermediate range missile agreement etc. I guess these weren't part of the "Rules Based Order" so what is ? Finally, there is the International Criminal Court which the US has blocked from investigating US forces war crimes in Afghanistan. The US issued an executive order effectively criminalizing anyone who works at the ICC. Its lawyers, judges, researchers etc could now have their U.S. bank accounts frozen, U.S. visas revoked and travel to the U.S. denied. Can I summarise what I think the "Rules Based Order" really is: It means that the US does what it likes and the rest of us do what we are told. This is taken off the internet. Can't remember who posted the above, but I would like to attribute this to the writer, whoever you are.

ZTE and Huawei are beyond any match. Other providers are dependent on Huawei. 60 to 70 percent of telecom petent are in ZTE and Huawei's hand. We, Indian, uses ZTE extensively. In Kolkata, BSNL has replaced Ericsson with ZTE and in the whole country, we replaced other by ZTE and Huawei. What we say and what we are doing is deferent. Politically we differ with China but economically we accept Chinese equipments and goods in larger quantities to produce cheaper goods for export and consumptions.

how refreshing :I:m listening to an American politician who tells it as it is Thank you.

44:08 the Whites looking at each other be like," Well, Sameer is totally slaying us, y'know... " 🤣🤣🤣

clearly english isnt her first language.

Talking about India and US, we just have to wait a little longer!

Excellent job of quashing the fallacies by the India rep in regards the oil import! What a load of cow dung by the white guy! Utter BS

Everytime I watched Samir… I see a slave trying to fit in with the masters… The first line is “Samir is a energized Bunny”… Poor fool, he’s kissing the rear of the master and tries to be smart… Really nothing new coming from his mouth but jealousy and anger😂

Politics is confusing. India is with quad, but at the same time its with BRICS wherein China is included

31:03 expression 😁😁😁😍

I'm Indian, there are lot of things I agree with Dr. Samir but there are also lot of other things I disagree with him. The fundamental problem with many so called 'Indian intellectuals' like Dr. Samir himself is that; we (Indian) are heavily influence by western ideology and their worldview, that we forgot to see the world with our own eyes as it should. We always judge or see the Chinese from a very western driven perspectives which often carries politically motivated agenda and vested interest. This is the reason why we know so little about China despite sharing thousand of KMs borders with them. And even if we do know something about them, we know it in a very wrong way fed by western media and their views. Thus suspicions and mistrust has grown. The west are happy about this division and enmity between India and China (two Asian giants with potential superpowers in the world) because we will be busy pulling each others leg, while the West, led by US, will continue to maintain their hegemony, dominate and dictate the world. But many couldn't realized this. DIVIDE and RULE policy is still Alive and Kicking. Beware! Besides the recent border skirmishes in Ladakh, I see a lot of Indians were reminded and told repeatedly about the 1962 war with China, where we unfortunately lost, and we are angry about it and rightfully so. But have we ever recalled that; it was the Indian army (under British command) who fought the Chinese for British empire in Opium War, where the Chinese were defeated and Hon-Kong was captured and handover to British for centuries, It was Indian traders under British rule who flooded the Chinese market with drugs and Opium (against the Chinese will) making them a hell of a drug addict society. Chinese consider those days under western colonization as humiliation, just like India took the 1962 war defeat as humiliation. India is not happy that China support Pakistan, Likewise China is not happy that India is hosting Dalia Lama's government in exile in India and flirting Tibet issue. See, the thing is; we both (India-China) have disagreement and had done things in the past that we do not not like, but even then, neither India nor China had invaded and colonized each other like the western imperialist did. Despite the difference and fight, there was no looting, slaughtering and enslaving the whole population like the west did to India/China for centuries. Our difference are manageable. Many of our conflicts can be resolved. But mind you, WESTERN world won't let that happen very easily for obvious reason stated above. Today, China wants to get back their rightful place in the world and heal their past humiliation, but I'm not sure if India is aspiring to get back its glorious past and correct the past humiliation inflicted by the colonial west. As long as our Indian minds are still colonized with western ideology and biased worldviews, it'll take much longer time for India to be truly independent of western hegemonic influence. I also don't agree with him saying every young Indian hate China because of the recent events, and because they are different and they can never be like us. I mean, come on, Dr. Samir, that's a very shallow and childish way of putting things into perspectives. I do not expect such a narrow view from a prominent figure like you. It's true Indians are apprehensive about our relation with China due to the recent events, but that does mean we hate Chinese because they are Chinese and are different from us. Not all Indians are that narrow minded. It's like the West tell everyone in the world that 'Either you are with us or against us'. India has openly reject such shallow idea from the West, and here you are talking and judging like the west, though in a different context. The real threat to world peace, progress and prosperity is the West led by US. Look back to the past centuries, the sufferings, the wars , the chaos etc. and you'll know the reason why?

Types of bullying: 44 percent said they were called names. 43 percent said they were teased. 36 percent said a bully spread rumors or lies about them. 32 percent said they were pushed or shoved. 29 percent said they were hit, slapped, or kicked. 29 percent said they were left out. 27 percent said they were threatened. 27 percent said a bully stole their belongings. 24 percent said a bully made sexual comments or gestures. 10 percent said they were bullied online.

Thank you for a very informative discussion

Sameer: my question to you? If you think China practices Censorship how about social media banning Trump? Or Modi’s internet blackout policy in Kashmir?

Next FM of India

That's a super answer, Saran, and a straight answer without mincing words.

Excellent honest analysis and discussion... Really enjoyed it along with the fun and some clever wordings... All the best....

45:55 This is why Chinese leaders decided to fight the 62 war in the first place. Indian support for Tibetan separatists.

Kori good lullaby. You put me to sleep.

Just silly talks. In 1980 Indian economy was greater than that of China. Now in 2022 India had 42 years of western style of democracy and China had 42 years of communism. Today Chinese economy is 5 times that of India and chinese life standard is 5 times better than that of indians. So talk with facts and data not narrow anti china minded

India is not as rich as China... But india is young, it is the future and china is old and is going to be past it's days of glory very soon,an ageing demographic due to the one child policy... China's population will halve by 2050...which could have disastrous economic and societal implications and no amount money can make more babies...That is why China ,the rich,impotent old man is worried about the ambitious, fertile young man india.

I guess they need to also discuss about New Zealand's closer relationship with China.

this indian guy has a voice of farhan akhter.

Samir rocked again

中国希望世界变成多极世界，有越多的大国力量互相均衡，世界越安全，美国再次发动战争的可能性越小。美国也改变了川普的美国第一的策略，也扶持其他国家力量的成长。中美的策略都利于其他国家的发展，甚至是印度，在中国看来，即便中印有矛盾，印度的发展也是利于中国的。
