The book you read is simply nonsense. The trade war launched by the US government against China is the result of American companies investing in China spending money to lobby the US government in order to suppress Chinese companies and allow US companies to gain more benefits. Micron, which was recently sanctioned by China, is one of them.China is help all foreign capital as much as possible. Musk once praised China's foreign capital assistance efficiency far better than that of Europe and the United States! This book talk about China ignores foreign capital's complaints , which is basically a thief shouting catch a thief! The book you are reading should be used by interests with veste to spend money to brainwash someone. They have done bad things themselves and shifted the responsibility to China! You also mentioned that the author said that he believes that the biggest strategic mistake of the United States is the weaponization of the US dollar and underestimation of China, but I think the reason for the final failure of the United States is their self-inflated, China has spent 2/3 of the past 3000 years, China's national strength is the number one in the world, and more than 1,000 years ago, China's economic footprint was as far as Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, but China has never invaded or colonized other countries or regions. China is a peace-loving country, and treats and loves it equally. Weak and small, for all the weak and small countries that come to worship, China’s gifts in return are several times the gifts they give, our ancestors taught us this way, self-inflated will bring harm to ourselves！🙄
Taiwan has belonged to China since ancient times. The Potsdam Declaration and the Cairo Declaration after World War II have clearly stated that Taiwan belongs to China. In the end, China will unify Taiwan. The United States just likes to use others as its own bargaining chip to obtain its own interests. Since World War II, the United States has used Taiwan, which is governed by the Chinese opposition party, to contain and coerce China in exchange for benefits. Look at them saying that they recognize one China, but they use the word "aggression" to describe the process of China's reunification! 😏
Today, the Chinese government continues to give various preferential policies to Taiwan, hoping that the two sides of the strait can be reunited peacefully, but the current ruling party in Taiwan wants to split China independently. If they really declare independence, the Chinese government will use force to unify Taiwan! 😎
This is why the Chinese are becoming increasingly negative towards the US government. After WWII, the Soviet Union, the United States, and China, as the three victors of the war, issued a joint declaration that Nazi Japan must return all occupied territories to China, Taiwan and Manchuria, and the Kingdom of Korea was independent. The Kingdom of Ryukyu (Okinawa) was also supposed to be independent.
@@Ash01010 nice joke because you're not human being. You will only become a real human being once you lost something or someone. Otherwise, keep laughing and take your gun and be prepared
Kishore was the Singapore envoy to the United Nations. He once said, "A diplomat's job is to solve problems. Unfortunately, the US diplomats are doing the opposite."
The hegemony of the US dollar is actually very unfair, equivalent to the United States imposing mandatory taxes on other countries. China is the largest trading country, so the losses are the greatest. Under the US dollar system, China has reached the upper limit of development, and if China wants to further develop, it must inevitably break the US dollar monopoly. China has no other choice. China does not want to compete for hegemony, but for its own interests, as well as for international fairness and justice.
Hi Sabrina, bless up! I’m taiwanese living in China. Taiwan was a province of China and when there was a civil war in China between the ruling kmt party and the communist party, the losing kmt party fled to Taiwan in 1949. The communists did not go in for the kill, partly because everyone was tired of war and also because the kmt was supported by the US. So Taiwan has been effectively treated like a renegade province. An analogy would be if the two parties in america had a war and the republicans lost and retreated to Texas. Does that mean Texas is no longer part of America? It’s a tough question but what I do know is america should mind it’s own business and let China and Taiwan work it out themselves.
More than ever the US wants to stop the Chinese development...and the US is using Taiwan as the proxy war state. America doesn't want to lose it's hegemony in Asia nor around the world.
THE WORDS >>> America should mind it’s own business and, let China and Taiwan work it out themselves. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 My view is that there is only ONE China now. Based on the past 70 years great accomplishments, The people's Republic of China is the ONE deserved to the FINAL Winner. China now is the "one" country under PRC management. Beijing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Another important reason why the American business community is silent is that Chinese companies have begun to have the ability to compete with American companies, and some companies have already left the United States behind. In the Clinton era, this situation did not exist.
China is a country that cares about the global atmosphere. She is right US needs to change her view point before it is too late! Remember how the British failed and started their downfall.
China attaches great importance to supporting all countries to improve infrastructure conditions, and helps African countries build housing, roads, bridges, railways, airports, ports, communications, electricity, water supply and drainage, hospitals and other infrastructure through aid, project contracting, investment cooperation, and expansion of financing. facilities to have a positive impact on African development. China encourages and supports Chinese enterprises to participate in the infrastructure construction of African countries, and requires enterprises to abide by contracts, keep promises, and complete project construction with high quality.What US brings to the African people is color revolution, political struggle, division, and war.Former U.S. President Trump said in many speeches that Africa is garbage.China has a history of aiding Africa for 60 years. The United States has only begun to pay attention to Africa because of the competition between China and the United States, sending high-level officials to visit Africa. The purpose is to sow discord between China and Africa.
Well done Sabrina... You have just begun the journey of knowing about China. ..There is still a lot about the 2000+ years history of the Chinese as a civilisation, its resolve, its dynasty(s), its wars, struggles, its culture of keeping records of past history, its patience, etc. There are so many ex-pats who have studied about the Chinese values and attitude to life. So many of them in China and on RU-vid. Ask yourself and other Americans what they know about the 300 years of American history.. There are many other good writers talking about China / USA issues.
Japan occupied and in control of several countries and territories before WW2 and after they lost at the end of WW2, Japan returned Taiwan back to China. So how can Taiwan not a part of China. In addition, Taiwanese speak Mandarin and officially called itself "The Republic of China" (China called itself "The People's Republic of China").😊
Austria speaks German. How can't it be Germany? Maybe because it's a state with their own government? Why does that even have to be about the USA and China? Why not asking the taiwanese what they want? I'm sure we know the answer. They like their democratic political State.
@@evebrown7977 Maybe soon or later, China could also funding and brainwashing Californians, Texans and Floridians to seek their sovereign independence, like what the U.S. did in Taiwan Province for the last decades, please DO remember asking what the people of those three brandnew countries want then.
1)The US also signed THREE (3) COMMUNIQUES, not ONE (1) , to say that there is only 1 CHINA and Taiwan is part of China. The 3 communiques were signed in 1972; 1978; 1982. 2) The United Nations (UN) recognises the PRC (and NOT Taiwan ) as the representation of China in November 1971.
Lets ask Hawai’i natives if they’re “Americans”? They have their own language and culture and yet they’re “Americans”?!? Maybe Americans should consider liberating Hawaiians from Americans?
@@evebrown7977 Chiang Kai-shek, his troops and his followers, who escaped to Taiwan when they lost the war to Mao, are Chinese. The people in Taiwan are Chinese stupid. If you're ignorant of the subject matter, it's “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” -Abe Lincoln.

Thanks for sharing this video. I haven't read the book yet but I will lay my hands on a copy now that I have seen your review! We Singaporeans are very proud of Prof Kishore. He is one of our most accomplished and respected diplomats, flying the flag of our tiny nation high on the world stage.
Great to see that you have added book reviews and geopolitics to your channel. Prof. Mahbubani has many books on the geopolitical situation in China and is a very knowledgeable and respected speaker. Please keep up the good work!
the US business class feel unhappy not because of technology transfer or theft, but the ambition of chinese to join the competition for market. There is no more easy money.
Sabrina, It's not China-US agreement It is: the *United Nation* acknowledge that Taiwan is part of China. When the UN acknowledged that, the USA didn't want to follow the UN resolution. But later on, the US agree that the UN resolution on one China and put in in paper. The US can't just change it's mind, doesn't have the right to say a words on this.. It's the UN decision.
The UN has no jurisdiction over Taiwan's legal status, the US obviously has even less say about it. In fact, Taiwan is a province of China according to the very constitution of Taiwan. There isn't a single legal document in existence that shows Taiwan is a country.
They probably will have a revolution after the dollar collapses because people can barely feed their their kids these days. Apparently everyone in the West has forgotten how the French Revolution started. Then Russia will decide it's time for regime change in the US. When the US is asked to surrender that's when they'll threaten to nuke Russia. Russia will believe it and launch hundreds of nuclear warheads on military targets. Plus I also think the EU and UK want their bases closed down, some politicians in Germany are already demanding it. If there's a revolution inside the US I think the EU and UK will be neutral but the US will threaten them and then they'll declare war also.
I didn't know any case that Chinese government "alienates" US business community in China before tension begins. It is hard for me to believe so, because it contradict to my personal experience. Did Kishore give any cases in the book? The only think I know could be the reason is tax rate. It was 15% for foreign, 30% for domestic company, then they adjusted it to 30% for both domestic and foreign. I don't think it is unfair to American companies, because it apply to all foreign and domestic companies, including American business. Chinese government may ask for additional things if American company needs special favor. E.g.: Tesla needs land and port access to build a factory, tax exemption, Shanghai government gave the land for free and built the roads, ports leading to the factory, and gave tax exemption for first 5 years, in exchange, Shanghai government requires Telsa to use Chinese suppliers. Everybody was happy in the end.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: "I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses. It reminds you of the glory of the American experiment." China: speechless....
Nice vlog. by reading this very book…it leads Sabrina to throw out so many topics on china-us issues…those issues await many to debate n decipher. i would suggest a collab joining by Danny Haiphong, Brian Berletic, Angelo Guliano n gonzalo Lira😮 with no question, hosted by Sabrina 😊
Sometimes i wonder if China and Israel should start swapping notes. The same way the arab world is being/has been to Israel is the same way the western world and Japan are being towards China. Im seeing a LOT of similarities between Israel's situation and China's situation...
There is a big difference. Present day Israel was carved out of Palestine by the Western countries after WWII, so the Arab nation/Palestinians have always considered the Israelis as foreigners who captured their land. China has not invaded or captured another country, rather it's opposite with reference to Western countries and Japan.
Sabrina, @10:50 you mentioned about an Agreement. To explain it clearer to some of your viewers - it is actually -The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (also known as the Resolution on Admitting Peking) was passed in response to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1668..... There are more incidences where US weaponises its influences on UN Security Council , IMF, World Bank,.. on China.. But it is more fascinating to learn about the history of China and presentday China to answer the question "Has China Won".
Very well presented Sabrina. I agree with most of the points that Professor Kishore Mahbubani made except the point on China's strategic mistake made towards the US. I believe that America became disillusioned because they believed that the Chinese cannot be smarter than them and therefore cannot improve and produce high quality things. However they were proved otherwise and China shot ahead of them in so many technologies that they just couldn't bear the truth. This made the US very angry and from history we all know what happens when US is angry. One fact that is little known is that in today's modern living, China invented around 60% of the things we use today. The ideas(research books) were stolen from China by the West and America but somehow China managed to catch up and even surpassed the West. On these facts, refer to the research Professor Joseph Needham (University of Cambridge) carried out on the Chinese inventions. Another little known fact is that before the Western domination of the world, China and India were two of the largest economies until they were destroyed by western powers and China suffered 150 years of humiliation.
Hi Sabrina, I recommand you read a another good book writen by a RU-vidr Pascal Coppens, the book name is "can we trust China", I didnt read it, but I saw some of his videos intriducing his book, and I found the book is interisting.
Till date，There's ROC logo on the Taiwanese citizen ID card or Passport . ROC=Republic of China , just an ex-gov or dynasty name in the mailand China(1912-1949). U can search on the internet...
China did not want to confront the US as a challenger or competitor. China was content to work with America whenever possible. It even asked to join the International Space Station. China was rebuffed and banned. It used America's GPS until the US started weaponising it. China was happy to buy US made chips and computers until it was sanctioned. So in most fields, China had no choice but to go its own way. Even this was seen as confrontation and challenge!
Boeing is one of the main companies that manufactures and maintains the U.S.'s arsenal of nuclear weapons. In 2021, the company was awarded a $1.6 billion contract through 2039 for guidance repair of 400 Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. lockheed martin and Boeing sending weapons to Ukraine
You know Boeing is the top supplier of weapon systems to USA. The business leaves a country whenever or whatever reason. China is smart and knows the businesses use its infrastructure and people, so China is making demands!
Very selfish bias views from Kishore Mahbubani , Remember no one force them to invest in China they all voluntarily invested in China bec.of cheap labor,cheap electricity,high skilled hardworking workers and of course the huge market China can offer, in return at that time China was very poor and underdeveloped , they only want to learn some technologies from them, its a give and take situation no one point guns toward them ,No reasons for them to complain, they knew it from the start and beside they benefited a huge huge profit from China , supremacy and arrogance make them envy of China rise ,unliked neighboring countries China is not a stupid to just focus on low end products and be a slave forever , CPC ambitions is eliminate extreme poverty and hunger, provide decent jobs high quality of living to its people , No useless devastated WAR like the naive American is doing all over the globe !
*189. Draft Memorandum From Secretary of Defense McNamara to President Johnson* _Containing China_ The plan to contain China was hatched in 1965. The Secretary of Defence at that time, McNamara said, “There are three fronts to a *long-run effort to contain China* (realizing that the *USSR* “contains” China *on the north and northwest* ): (a) the *Japan-Kore*a front; (b) the *India-Pakistan* front; and (c) the *Southeast Asia* front.” The US had failed in its efforts to recruit Russia but succeeded with Japan, South Korea, India, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines. _Shaping the World Into Our Own Image_ “….. *the role we have inherited and have chosen for ourselves for the future is to extend our influence and power to thwart ideologies that are hostile to these aims and to move the world* , as best we can, *in the direction we prefer*. *Our ends cannot be achieved and our leadership role cannot be played if some powerful and virulent nation-whether Germany, Japan, Russia or China-is allowed to organize their part of the world according to a philosophy contrary to ours* . Two down, Germany and Japan. And two more, Russia and China, to go. history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v03/d189
