Oh, please. Educate yourself on China's achilles heel... By design.. A single non-nuclear cruise missile can take out the Three Gorges Dam. Within the hour, 800 million people, living within the Yangtze river valley, 1/10 of the global population, would perish, along with most of China's infrastructure.
Not China's fault but In a nutshell, the current Taiwan Strait problem was created by Japan, and the West (US) which supported and assisted Japan in invading Taiwan decades ago.
Those beggars moved to USA, they're now living on the streets in downtowns and parks all over USA, they love USA's freedom and democracy which they couldn't get in China. 😃
Thank you Brian, Tings & BT News, for this valuable conversation cum political lesson. The lifting of about 850 million people out of extreme poverty over 4 decades is an unprecedented socialist event; as you say it doesn't rate a mention in Western media and this for the obvious reason that capitalism and its liberal democracies are unable to achieve anything like it.
And their local elections is just weeks away where the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is not enjoying any positive flaks on the region's opinion polls. A February 2022 survey by one Taiwan university even revealed that more residents support the 1992 Consensus based on the 1971 UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 (one-China principle), that means retaining the status quo is crucial for peace on both sides of the Straits. The leadership elections is just two years from now where the DPP will lose steam.
The Taiwanese people and the Taiwanese politicians are two very different groups. As with most 'democracies' there are very little common ground between the government and the people.
Texas, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, Marshall Islands, and Samoa aren't a part of the US so why the US occupies them when they have never agreed to be a part of the US? The US should give those people their sovereignty and independence since their country was taken by force by the US!
Coming From The U.S. I personally & Many Other Over Here In America Can't Tell The Difference From Chinese & Taiwanese Most Ppl Over Here In America Call Taiwanese Chinese I Strongly Support China 🇨🇳✊
I share your view. China should restrain itself from getting into any war no matter how much it is provoked. Though it may lose face in the short term but this will all be made up for when China continue to grow in all spheres to become the most powerful and progressive nation in the world and, it's then that these arrogant powers will kowtow at the feet of the dragon. Taiwan then will naturally want to reunite peacefully with China when it is all powerful but yet full of amity for the less powerful and fortunate.
The US will then start bullying their trading partners. This is not a prediction; they are already starting to do it in countries they supposedly consider friendly to the West but principally non aligned.
Wow... China sent 800,000 cadres knocking on the doors to check on their living conditions. That is how you do it. Amazing governance. That is what you call serving the people. Such a great segment.
Actually what we just to start China has achieved in 1949: e.g. the war between 99% and 1%, equality, true democracy. The reason that the CPC won over the KMT during the civil war is because that CPC has always kept people on its side and worked for the people. The KMT army could not get single drop water from villagers nor any information about whereabout of CPC government at the beginning of the civil war. The CPC is people based party and the member has to be evaluated and pass the evaluation from people who are in the same company, community. If you are not good enough, you just can't become CPC member. You still have to go through the probation. The CPC members are from everywhere, all sectors, and all ethnicities, yes including Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians, Muslims, Christians. The CPC is completely different than our western parties in nature. It's a true democracy in China.
@@frankng4574 the Chinese communist party is a despotic dictatorship whose economic ineptitude has brought about a real estate crisis the makes the 08 subprime meltdown pale in comparison. Say evergrande and it's massive default say country gardens failure to pay the bond holders pay attention folks google Peter zeihan a deep thinker on geopolitical analyst
the secret is China don't really care about the visit. China only cares about the real situation, that is the point of the military exercise, China now control the Taiwan Strait and there is nothing US can do about it. even if the entire congress visit Taiwan, it still won't change the fact that China control the Taiwan Strait. in fact the visit serve as a cover prevent the White House from intervening in China takeover of the Taiwan Strait. as for the island itself, it not a priority, as the ex chief of staff of Taiwan said "Taiwan is not going to swim away, we will forever be the same distance from the mainland", so the political rhetoric doesn't matter to China, the chicken is in the basket, and the longer China wait, the wider the advantage China has. all the talk that China would make a move is based on the idea that Xi Jinping want to have his name in the history book. that's naive, if Xi want to have his name in the history book, he could land a person on mars and set global history. there is alot of thing the chinese leadership can do if they are after fame, but I don't see Taiwan as a big issue since most Chinese already see it as cooked riced. furthermore China does not have a presidential system. Deng Xiaoping was never president, so Xi Jinping doesn't need to stay in the presidential office to laid down his achievement, he can always do what Deng Xiaoping did and stay in control behind the stage, so I just don't see Xi as being limited to needing to do something by term X, he doesn't even need to be in office to be in charge since the presidency in China is a ceremonial role.
Yes I agree. The US think they have China on the ropes due to their excessive hubris. China is a meritocracy and knows exactly how to play the game. America might see Chinas ( apart from military exercises) failure to act as weakness so is emboldened to send more politicians to Taiwan. They will carry on with these provocations, while China is quietly preparing a devastating response which will take America completely by surprise.
Ting Chak is right on judging a country's adopting an economic focus on human rights as reflected by life expectancy. That is the basic measurement for a humane economic program.
1) In 1894, Japan invaded China and Korea, the Qing gov was defeated and signed the [Treaty of Shimonoseki] to cede Taiwan Island to Japan. 2) During the WW2, at the Cairo Conference held in 1943, China asked the transfer of Taiwan's sovereignty back to China after the war. This content was included in the [Cairo Declaration] and later reiterated in the [Potsdam Proclamation] that it should be implemented. 3) On 14 Aug 1945, the Emperor Showa of Japan issued the [End War Edict] , Japan surrendered unconditionally and accepted the [Potsdam Proclamation]. The Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, Marshal MacArthur ordered the Japanese troops in Taiwan to surrender to KMT General Chiang Kai Shek. Taiwan re-entered the territory of the Republic Of China (ROC). 4) Soon after that China civil war broke out between KMT and CPC, the KMT was defeated and fled to Taiwan. However, due to US intervention, the CPC without a strong navy at that time has no ability to unify Taiwan. The CPC then established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on 1949. The civil war continues... 5) In 1971, UN Resolution No. 2758 ruled that the PRC had obtained the representation rights and all legal rights originally owned by the ROC in the UN. That means the PRC is China’s only legal gov under international law, and today the PRC also become China’s only legal gov recognized by 180 countries around the world, including the USA. "The USA recognizes the Government of the PRC as the sole legal Government of China. Within this context, the people of the USA will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan." Joint Cummunique on the Establishment of Diplomatic relations between the PRC and the USA (December 16 1978) 6) Therefore, according to international law, international reality, and the wishes of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, Taiwan should return to PRC and the PRC have every rights to protect it's sovereign integrity.
Right. Of it doesn't work, take it by force even if doing so will lead to nuclear war and end of humanity. The very few who might survive will learn how to live in peace, compromise, negotiate and respect each other interest. If no one survive God will say "why did I created these stupid human beings
The US has so much to learn from China's poverty alleviation program and process but they are too arrogant. They rather spend trillions for illegal wars to enrich their lobbyist donors than to take care of their own is really disgusting.
They can't because its corrupted and immoral politicians are beholden to big business. Watch Jeffery Sachs dissect the rule of the oligarchy on youtube.
The US specifically doesn't want to learn from China's poverty alleviation, and it doesn't want other countries following China's footsteps as well. For instance, the development of poor peripheral regions, and the creation of real wealth (infrastructure, education, employment, social inclusion) rather than cash transfusions for the poor, is basically a kryptonite for western neoliberal policy (and nowadays? all the US has is neoliberals). Similarly, as the video references China's actions to curb the excesses of capital- the abuses of tech, finance, education-as-a-commodity, etc... imagine if such things were applied to the west, or to any other country (in which case it would be decried as "totalitarian government interference" and "bad for western business interests" and would likely face US attempts at regime change). And the video references, say- China's preventing Alibaba from unleashing loose credit upon the Chinese people- let's be frank, the US megacorporations and banks would sooner outright openly revolt than ever accept the loss of their indebted serf population domestically, let alone abroad- but there's a unilateral support on all sides in the US that such a thing would never happen. Also when one looks at say- in recent times, the Evergrande crisis- this is another example of how China's actions to create a harmonious and equitable society are intolerable for western capital- rather than a bailout for the speculator class, China is creating the conditions for a controlled burst while still ensuring the needs of the average citizen. Imagine if western markets were told during, say, the 2008 crisis, or during COVID, etc- "no bailouts for you, you're going to have to take the L while we rescue the average citizenry instead." China represents the rise of socialism- not the welfare (handouts/table scraps/trickle-down) state, but an economy actually geared towards meeting the needs of the people rather than the profits of the elite. This rise also is the rise of an entity that can resist western coercion and attempts at plunder, and ushers in the return to multilateralism rather than the old imperialist order (which the US merely co-opted and rebranded with itself at the top). None of this is remotely acceptable to the west.
With the real estate crisis china is presently experiencing ,evergrande and country garden in default, and a GDP to debt at 300 percent .yes and with construction and real estate representing 30 percent of that GDP. Could these factors affect Chinas growth numbers?
US pharmaceutical companies and their peddling of opioids to the US people also caused a decline in life expectancy in the US. On every measure the US is decline. Domestically almost third world infrastructure and health care, poor funding for public schooling, the erosion of the middle class.... The only thing that increases year after year in the US is their spending on the military budget.
Don't forget about personal debt! Between student loans, medical bills, housing, and transportation, we're on track to turning the entire working class into indentured servants.
The US is doing a great job at motivating the Chinese people to work harder and love their country even more. They are intelligent and understand what the game is. Even overseas Chinese would surely want to chip in to help their home country maintain it's dignity. Thanks, Pelosi. You helped China grow faster and stronger
@@TacticalMayo , China had experienced more desperate scenarios before! As Bruce Lee's shows indicated, she will never bow on fours ever again! She has all the grey matter within her society to ensure this. As in My Fair Lady said: Just you wait!
Thank you Brian, Ting and BTnews for a fascinating and informative interview. 👍 May I suggest that we begin dropping the term "democratic" as a perverted term no longer accurate in today's hegemonic western world. Rather, more realistically, might we distinguish the 2 main motivations driving countries as either "globalist" or " sovereignist". President Putin has been using those terms and, after pondering, I believe they are accurate enough to replace our old descriptives. Anyone else?
It's pathetic to see how unrealistic some Americans, especially politicians are with all the talks about "democracy and freedom" that never work out in America - political corruption (lobbying and corporate donations - the root cause of all problems), gun violence (mass shootings), racial discrimination/hate crimes (police brutality and anti-Asian attacks), unaffordable health care, homelessness, outdated infrastructures, and so on.
Exactly! Trying to get involved in other countries’ business when they can’t even fix existing issues in its own country. Just all talks and no solution.
And that's exactly why our politicians are so desperate to distract us with more war. Our capitalist economy is collapsing right now and instead of building socialism, they want to prop up America with WWIII
If you are in China, or have people in China, I would be more careful about being publicly known as a little pink. After they remove Xi, the 6/4 rebels will be able to identify you and your cohorts, and will be coming. I would have a great escape plan to Singapore if I were in your shoes.
Great information about insights of China. It is an eye opener. In a span of 40 yrs 850 million people have been lifted from poverty. It is amazing achievement of China
@@genelarson6849 that is entirely the point. the people have not decided. the USA has decided. why you think no referendum has ever been held? are you yet another indoctrinated amurcun?
Unbelievablely a talented lady she is. Didn't wanna skip a single segment she pointed out so clearly with her extra ordinarily smartest as well in the simplest way. Knowledge is good at the same time ignorance is darkness.
It’s simple. The US does not want China and Taiwan to unify because that would make both China and Taiwan stronger. The US will have no business or relevance in that region known as the South China Sea. However if the US were to fabricate some kind of semi official arrangement to keep China and Taiwan separated, that would make China separately weaker and Taiwan separately weaker. This gives the US the outrageous excuse to maintain their presence. In coded BS language: 1. To ‘maintain a free and open Indo Pacific’. 2. ‘keeping the peace by maintaining the status quo.’ Overseas Chinese cannot stand US and western hypocrisy because they have experienced first hand US and western prejudice and racism against them. They know and they have experienced. The best way forward for China and Taiwan to have peace and prosperity for its people is undoubtedly to unite. This is the will of the majority of overseas Chinese because they understand US satanic craftiness and US satanic evil to create conflict and hostility to exploit opportunity.
i have never met anyone from Taiwan who would agree with that, nor the Philippines, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, they all seem happy to have the 7th fleet and keeping the Chinese at bay.
@@joeb578 Japan is just a little licking poodle... it has been ever since its Master bombed it twice, and later, when the little poodle tried and almost succeeded to become an economic powerhouse, its Master just slammed it down after forcing it to sign the Plaza Accord. So now the little poodle is faithfully trailing at the Master’s heel, and will bark out according to the Master’s command. Vietnam is a communist country but the US is perfectly fine with it now, as it is a 'useful idiot' to undermine China. Hence even though Vietnam was orange napalmed before, with its citizens still suffering from the side effects even to this day, Vietnam is willing to be used for its own agenda. Indonesia is tying up with China to get its longest fast speed rail. Indonesia refuses to sanction Russia and explicitly reject the US urging to not invite Putin to the upcoming G20 summit. So cease and decease your little deceits here
I need to correct your statement: 'The US does not want China and Taiwan to unify because that would make both China and Taiwan stronger'. It should be: 'The US does not want China and Taiwan to unify because a reunified China would be stronger.'
I am amazed by the sharp and coherent analysis of Tings. She puts her views across succinctly and in such a comprehensive manner that one can clearly and easily grasp the issues being discussed.

Having been to Mainland China for almost 50 times since 1983 and many times to Taiwan and knowing what has happened in unification in the past 20 years, I think the best for Taiwan is to be reunited with the Mainland for a mutual Win Win. The Us doesn't want that to happen and therefore doing their best to prevent it. The US will fail!
Celestine LOL! US and NATO Started all the military aggression in South China Sea by sailing their military ships and submarines in the name of “Free Navigation” since the last few years!

US hostility has nothing to do with "freedom and democracy" for Taiwan or the Chinese in Taiwan. Whether China is "democratic" or not will not really change America's attitude to it or to the Chinese. When you put China-US relationship in historical context, it's easy to understand the animosity America as a government and nation feels against the Chinese and China. After its independence and its own war against colonialism and imperialism, America itself did a volte face and joined the ranks of imperialist powers. It seized territories from Mexico, the Kingdom of Hawaii, islands, other islands in the Pacific, and replaced European colonial powers with itself. This happened famously in the Philippines and many south American colonies. It saw China as a ripe plum, ready for picking and went for it with guns blazing. America had experience of dealing with Chinese people - it hated them and banned them from entering the US by passing the Chinese Exclusion Act, the only law aimed specifically at a race of people. To prevent those who were already in the US from procreation and "spreading like weeds", it had also passed the Page Act to prevent Chinese women entering the US. The US, like other European colonial powers of the time found China a nation weakened by an incompetent and corrupt Manchu dynasty. It was easy of them to carve China up like a Christmas turkey and bleed China as much as they liked. This they did with opium and by exacting huge war reparations from the very wars their drug pushing to the Chinese started. Fast forward to recent times. China under the CPC has become a prosperous nation that is no longer militarily or economically weak. Rather it has demonstrated to the world that by dint of sacrificial hard work, determination and good governance, there is an alternative to the dogmatic and ruthless capitalism of the west, particularly the monolithic, monopolar world with America on top of the pyramid of nation and dominating everything from fast foods to financial transactions at the point of a gun. This was an affront to America. How could a race it despised, long before the CPC was even founded, rise to offer an alternative way nations could rise from ashes to prosperity. This contempt America has always felt has little to do with communism. Had China risen as a western styled "democracy" but tried to be independent, the hate and animosity would just be as strong. The only way it would be accepted by America is as a docile minion, like Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, India, etc. i.e. the rest of the world, except for a few nations which continue to defy the US. China has rightly refused to bow to US hegemony. Despite America's puffed up ego, imagining that it has been appointed by divine fiat as "a shining beacon on a hill" to lead and rule the world, China has other plans. So, as long as the exceptionalism of the US is accepted by the western nations, and they supinely continue to obey the diktat of Washington, the relationship between America, its minions and China will be tensed and fractious. It is difficult to expunge from America's body politic hatred and racism which have tainted its perception.
@@bobbylow175 I often wished I was wrong. But just as I began to think I was, someone like Blinken or Pelosi or a youtuber ranting about "Chinese threat" or an piece in the NYT jolted me up and hit me with reality. Alas, they will never change.
@@Zerpentsa6598 Very well said indeed in your main post. But China seemed to know the score. It had rightly taken this stance : Never Asume that the US would not attack. So we can see signs of China making preparation. In order to have peace, it has to be ready for war. China just simply refuses to have another century of humiliation.
Indeed we cannot separate the incredible, centuries-long culture of racism, but I disagree that this relationship has nothing to do with the American hatred of communism. They are eager to destroy communists even when they are white, albeit sometimes less brutally they still aim for complete destruction of communist sentiment even when practiced by white Westerners.
The US and its gang of equally delusional, neo colonial, imperialist G7 allies are in decline now. Their evil, aggressive and irrational behaviour will only speed up the process

Christ was a socialist and a pacifist. His philosophy was so powerful that the establishment sees it as a threat to their way of life and so he had to be killed. The progression from capitalism to socialism starts with the Russian Revolution which in time failed and now China has taken up the challenge to put socialism into practice after the Chinese revolution in 1949. President Xi further advanced socialism with his vision of socialism with Chinese characteristics One Belt One Road Initiative at home and abroad. The program is so successful that US seeks to stop it any way possible with lies and threats. The West especially the US must realize that capitalism is no longer viable as a governing policy in the 21st century, an age that when we work together can eliminate poverty, eliminate diseases, and eliminate war. Why not use our intelligence and limited natural resources to benefit humanity instead use to destroy humanity.
@@xianseah4847 But this USA being rich is an illusion. It is actually dead broke and depended on its dollar being the world's reserve currency, which is now in jeopardy.

US has a very small soul so to speak. People with big souls work harder and smarter to compete and succeed. When someone is lacking in competency and confidence, they will resort themselves to violence and try to thwart the opponent from making progress. US has created an image of themselves as being powerful and superior, but as it turns out it is only a dwarf which had been relying on foreign brains and skills. Without them it's pretty impotent.
The truth of the matter is that politicians in the West and the US including Australia (Australia which is psychologically totally confused and suffering from an identity crisis as it thinks it is "west" when the reality is that it is geographically part of Asia!!!), are still stuck in their mental capacity and attitude in the glory days of "empire" 5-6 centuries ago. They may have learned to wear Gucci suits nowadays but nothing else seem to have evolved in their psyche and consciousness from their barbarian days. Instead of recognising their sordid past and history , they celebrate their delusions like "Thanksgiving Day" which the Native American Indians rightly and clearly remember and commemorate as their "Day of Mourning" being the beginning of the murdering, genociding, plundering, stealing, raping and ultimately, OCCUPATION , of their land uninvited, without any due compensation even till today. But these thieves and robbers take a lot of pride in the stories they tell themselves and sell to the world how great their "founding" was!!! Same stories with the "Empire" where the sun never sets. Australia with the Aborigines. New Zealand with their Maoris. The African continent with all those Europeans...........it goes on and on. This is the 21st Century , for chrissakes! Grow up and come out of that sick and primitive mentality of never ending desire to dominate, control and subjugate. The zillions of dollars spent on wars and "defence" and the other zillions being hoarded by the 1% is more than sufficient to provide every human being on the planet a very decent and never anything wanting life on this planet with the healthiest and cleanest environment. And we pride ourselves as being the only creature on earth with the intelligence, consciousness and capacity of free will and choice. And these sick politicians choose never ending squabbles, tensions and wars!!! Go figure.

The bombings were part of the U.S. Secret War in Laos to support the Royal Lao Government against the Pathet Lao and to interdict traffic along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The bombings destroyed many villages and displaced hundreds of thousands of Lao civilians during the nine-year period. Five years ago, the US forces, using the fake intelligence of a staged video by “White Helmets” as evidence, conducted the so-called “most precise air strikes in history” in Syria, killing more than 1,600 innocent civilians. In recent years, the international community has been calling for investigations into the killing of civilians in the US’ overseas military operations. On Syria alone, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic pointed out several times in its reports in September 2019 and February 2021 that the US failed to distinguish military targets from civilians in its air strikes in Syria, which gravely violates international humanitarian law and may constitute war crimes. However, the US government has been turning a deaf ear to all this. According to reports, over the past nearly two decades, the US conducted over 90,000 air strikes in countries including Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, which may have killed up to 48,000 civilians. But the US military time and again covered up the facts and refused to apologize, admit its crimes or hold the perpetrators accountable. It did everything possible to evade its responsibilities. On the drone strike of civilians in Afghanistan, a Pentagon spokesperson said openly in December 2021 that no US soldiers will face disciplinary action over it. The US media also disclosed at the end of last year that from 2014 to 2019, the US military turned its guns on farmers in the middle of harvest, children playing in the streets, families fleeing the fighting and villagers taking shelter in buildings. These disastrous crimes were deliberately concealed and whitewashed. US media revealed last year that according to the US military’s own confidential assessments of more than 1,300 reports of civilian casualties, civilian casualties in US air strikes have been “significantly undercounted”. Larry Lewis, a Director at the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) of the US said that on average at least one incident of civilian harm has happened every week since 9/11. There has been an overall pattern of negligence with regard to the US government on the issue of civilian harm. The US has also obstructed the International Criminal Court’s investigations into its war crimes in Afghanistan. Every human life, regardless of nationality, race, religion or values, is equal and precious. The US should earnestly respond to the strong call of the international community, conduct a credible, independent and impartial investigation into civilian casualties caused by US air strikes, and hold the people concerned accountable.

Pelosi shows up for only 10 hours and then gets the hell out of dodge and China is breathing down Taiwan's neck 😡 and Taiwan is like 😬. Damn it Pelosi lol
There was no democracy in those days when the colonial powers "ruled" most Asian countries. It was "might makes right" at the time. But China was so poor and weak at that time and people were suffering, that it looked like one was better off living under colonialism than in China. That's what the 100 year of humiliation means.
No, China was weak because her totalitarian and power hoarding Empress Dowager of Qing Dynasty was too narcissitic to listen to advise of her officials in court.
100 years of humiliation is NOT "it looked like one was better off living under colonialism". Chinese people were sold as slaves. Lands were forcibly taken by colonizers. Arts, gold, silver, treasuries were stolen people were treated like animals These constitute the 100 years of humiliation For thousands of years, China had trade and commerce. They were living peaceful lives until colonizers came. And it is all downhill from there. From the 100 years of humiliation, the Chinese learned that to have and maintain prosperity, the country has to have military might to protect itself from imperialists.
@@jeorge1153 It’s downhill every where these colonizers go. Try Africa. I am sure there are more countries I am forgetting Yes Europeans and White Americans we are talking about you
As Professor Richard Wolff indicates, China has never been a communist country. Its ruling party has the C-word, but communism has never been carried out because the people was not willing to accept communism, so the party settled for socialism, viewed as a prelude to communism that was never carried out. The GLF crept closer, but communism was never reached.
Extremely informative conversation. Both very knowledgeable and realistic understanding of the political situation. Why the issue of global population growth and ways/means to curtail it is not part of the discussion? Seems that this should be the main issue that underscores all worldly problems.
Not only a beautiful elegant HK lady but also one with a good head on her shoulders. I like the way she responds to every question dispassionately and factually. If only we have more of these people like her to discuss problems in every spectrum of the political divide, we will all live harmoniously and be big enough to agree to disagree.
The reality is the people like her will never survive in our political system. The lies, exaggerations, fabrications dominates our political system. There is no place for honesty and sincerity here. We have to live with that for many years to come.
United. Nations don't recognised Taiwan as a country. Why US is creating mischief and tension in China internal affair. Maybe China should persuade Texas to be independent too
Usually this topic is too broad to discuss for reaching pertinent conclusions. Try to think of the military business as a stand alone business outside of the 4.8 trillion dollars a year of US China trade. In the case of Taiwan it is actually simpler because there is no such direct oil, gas, minerals or arable land interests but arms. The defense budget is some 800 billion, the estimated nuclear arms budget is one trillion a year, extra costs for government departments, agencies, mercenaries, media etc. Arms exports for the entire Indo Pacific are in triple billion figures. Multi-nation exercises in the Pacific are trade shows to make more business. NATO Asian expansion sounds like an ingenious plan too. The total US military business is well in excess of two trillion dollars a year. Apple revenue 2021 was 365 billion. Military business might be 7 or 8 Apples. That should pay for 800 bases and 1.25 million troops and staffs and all their fancy toys. How much would you value Pelosi's contribution to that total? Chip stocks aren't the only good investments. If they don't want prices to fall they better keep up the tensions, pour more fuel into the fire, the brighter the better.
As far as the world beyond the US is concerned, it's the one-China principle, not the one-China policy. Americans think Taiwan being a part of China is a matter of US policy. This is utter rubbish. When the US recognized Taiwan as a part of China, it was a matter of fact, and cannot be changed according to America's whims and fancies. It is becoming clear to many people that US bipartisan antagonism toward and hatred of China have racism at its root. This is the view of Cui Tiankai, China's former ambassador to the US, and I agree with him. You can't reason with the US because it doesn't want to reason as reasoning is hard work and requires honesty, both of which American leaders are incapable of.
Go against the grain of the rhetoric, everyone is investing in China. In the next 5 years growth will be over 312%. I have been studying the growth patterns in China in the last 12 years and the growth is phenomenal.
Excellent Documentary. I really enjoyed listening to this Documentary Video. i really love Your You Tube Channel. And I love you guys too. Keep these great Documentary Videos & Topics too. .
China dont want War. China wants PEACE friendship cooperation and build Roads Rail Bridges Hospitals. Hongkong Colony Uk, Taiwan Colony USA, the last stronghold. Taiwan Chinese will vote for reunification for Peace and Prosperity.
Taiwanese are not stupid. These recent US visits bring nothing beneficial, only harm to Taiwan and they know it. But the tragedy of a small power sandwiched between two large powers is that its future is not determined by itself. For decades there is a mutual understanding between Taiwan & China that “Taiwan does not step on China’s red line, and China does not force unification.” What these US politicians say “in support of Taiwan” is exactly stepping on China’s red line. I grew up in Taiwan under the “martial law” and what Ting here calls “authoritarian, repressive rule”, no, it wasn’t. Ting speaks well here but this point is not correct; she didn’t live in Taiwan then. In those times we watched movies and listened to music from around the world, went shopping, read books from the world, could travel to foreign countries, etc, like any other democratic country. However, the sad reality is that this current DPP rule in Taiwan is the most authoritarian, repressive regime in Taiwan in the 60 years of my life that I have seen. And Nancy and her horde coming to Taiwan and praising president Tsai for her “democracy” is such a slap on the face to Nancy, showing the ignorance and hypocrisy of the US brand of “democracy and freedom”.
Either you have a very selective memory or you lived in a secluded, protected enclave and did not read or listen to the news. Tings is correct, it was a very repressive, very lawless time, full of corruption and violence. Taipei itself was dubbed the Wild, wild west of the east because of the level of violent crime, and corruption. Look up any history book and magazines about that time. Look up what the "White Terror period" was all about. Research the corruption that occurred during the construction of the subway in Taipei. Lookup why Taipei was the piracy capital of the world in the 70's & 80's. Remember the taxi murders during the 80's & 90's? How about the kidnapping epidemic during the 80's? That's why the KMT lost power. It was due to corruption. And this will also be the reason why the DPP will lose power.
Ting, you are amazing! Not only is your perfect English, more importantly your rich knowledge about the history and geopolitical sense! Great job, keep it up!
No Money for the Veterans but there are Millions for the LGBT+ Inc. Let see here. The Veterans served Canada and LGBT+ keeps taking from Canada. Something is wrong with this picture.
