and to expand on your sentence, it was Kennedy who asked Khrushchev to not make public the first part so as the Americans could look peaceful and righteous. All along, it's the American Imperialists creating problems first (i.e. putting nuclear tipped missiles in Turkey) and the Soviets reacting to the provocation (putting missiles in Cuba). America is just a continuation of the British Empire. Britain has always been known as "Perfidious Albion" (refer to acts of diplomatic slights, duplicity, treachery and hence infidelity with respect to perceived promises made to or alliances formed with other nation states).
All whites are like that, not a single one Britain, France, Germany, America etc etc are any different. Go check opium war, group of 8 . All whites are the same.
Let it also be noted, US has plan to return those nuclear missiles into Germany and for this only reason, Russia has plan place Russian Nuclear system back into Cuba, Venezuela thanks to USA support of those two Nation States. Like Germany, Russia would only have 5 min. before first strike, for this reason only, Russia return the favor.
John is so right in saying we SE Asians do not want any disruptions in our neighbourhood. We just want to trade (and China is the major trading partner of most, if not all, SEA nations) and have a better life for our children. It would be best if the USA stop destabilising our region with its latest pawn.

Chinese girls wearing traditional costumes give me a sense of Chinese pride and being confident of Chinese cultures. That's an amazing thing! China is confident as a nation, there is no need of questioning one's own identity. It's a sense of being proud of a nation with 5000 years of continual cultural and philosophical development.
Wish more people can watch this. Always great to listen to logic factual based information rather than lies without facts or logic from western mainstream media
Mr Ross analysis is spot on and factual but it's going to make him a target for those China haters and sour grapes. But he has my highest respect in the class of E Tangen Cs.
Common sense, which of these two country are more prone to collapse? One with $250T debt, credit cards debt of $1.2 T, 60% live from paycheck to paycheck, 13 million children go to sleep hungry, 20% skip meal to pay for the rent, on forever war, and thousands are homeless living on the streets; or another country with $200T savings? The answers is obvious!

@@topsuperseven7910 Many chinese economist were educated in the West or worship the West (due to propaganda) without realizing American gross GDP is a false measure (i.e. prostitution services and house flipping profits are considered GDP). All this talk about Chinese being smart (more hard working and obedient) you would think Ukraine/Russia events the last 2+ years has taught them something about Western GDP figures and it's accuracy in predicting "real" economic strength.
@@yellowsheeps lol "and worship the west (due to propaganda). There is no 'The West' and your 1960s soviet-brain is cute. No American 'brainwashed' the victim Chinese (who are like children?) into pretending gross GDP is the way you see who's the Gaokao Big Face and who is shamed by being a smaller score. What American and 'Thewest' economists have told them is they aren't so dumb they think GDP bloating means 'China is numba one strong!". Instead, GDP Bloating is a kind of temporary boost if done right for some desperate time IF you can get real value together. China didn't' do that and kept bloating gross GDP with 'bridges to nowhere' and now Chinese are learning a very hard lesson: Now they eat 3 yuan meat sticks for dinner, sell their car for 1000 yuan and hope the eBike keeps working and post more elaborate fake narratives on the internet to 'shame Thewest' so they feel bigger face somehow. Its sad.
Chinese civilisation is more than 5000 years, and with more than 1.4 billion populations, which country in this world could match its progress today. To me, no one in their life time could ever accurately predicted China’s economy and future. China could handle any problems encountered so quickly before you could even realise the impact on the country.
Where did you get this bizarre idea that china can handle any situation? Of course they can do anything by suppressing their population. Have u any idea as to how their blue collar workers r being treated right now.?
Better reading: Deng Xiaoping famously said "It doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice." Read Deng Xiaoping is better to understand China PRC today.....
The Philipines' very late claim to islands in the SCS are greedily and fraudulently based on the recent news of huge oil reserves discoveries , not on any historical ownership and occupation ! Where was the Phillipines to make thrir claim back in 5000 BC wthen these islands were already owned and occupied by Chinese fishermen?
I won’t use the word greedy but just said they made illegal claims. If they had been clear and diss used it nicely with China then things would have been a lot different.
The Philippines didn’t become a country until 1946 when the US allowed the various Filipino tribes to form their own country! Before that the Phillipines were just several thousand islands spread across the South China Sea that the US occupied and made into a colony! There were over 7600 islands that made up the Philippines but less than 10% of the islands actually had people living on them since the Philippines was very sparsely populated at that time by tribal Asian people who spoke different languages from one another and had different cultures as well. At the same time that these islands were inhabited by small groups of tribal people there were hundreds of other nearby islands that were inhabited by Chinese people who made a living in the sea that surrounded these islands and many other islands that later on the US government turned into its Philippines colony. The islands that were part of China, such as the Spratly Islands, were part of China for many centuries before the arrivals of the US and Spain. The US never even claimed them to being a part of its Phillipines colony until it gave the Filipino tribal people their independence from the US empire and the US only did so because it wanted to use the Philippines as a proxy to start tensions with China as well as military bases to keep an eye on China and to interfere with China’s internal affairs as a way to weaken China since the US empire already had aspirations to being a global hegemon at that point in time and it felt by weakening China it could keep a powerful country like China down so that the US would be the only powerful country left standing on Earth so that the US would become the #1 country in the world in every aspect that mattered - militarily, economically, technologically, prestige. etc. That’s why when the US gave the Philippines its independence it pushed the Philippines to claim all of those islands that were a part of China as being a part of the Philippines! At that point China was a greatly weakened country that was being invaded and destroyed by the US’s, Japan’s, and Europe’s invasions so there wasn’t much China could do to protect its islands and other territories, which is why it lost Hong Kong, northern Manchuria, and other territories to the UK, Russia, Portugal, etc. The Filipino people knew they had no rights to claim those islands as being a part of their country, but with the US’s urging and backing they were compelled to claim those islands as being a part of their country since, at the end of the day, why would they turn down an opportunity to steal islands from China if the US was willing to help them get them? That was how the Philippines managed to lay down claims on the Spratly Islands and many other islands that belonged to China for many hundreds of years! This was also how the British was able to carve out large sections of China to give to India back when the British ruled over India and large parts of China! China suffered mightily when the Japanese, Americans, and the Europeans conquered it and carved out different sections of China for themselves! That’s what allowed newly created countries like the Phillipines and India to steal different parts of China and claimed them for themselves!
@@grandwonder5858 Whilst I will not disagree with the history of what you say, there is a huge problem with ownership of land and territories that you highlight in your last sentence "That’s what allowed newly created countries like the Phillipines and India to steal different parts of China and claimed them for themselves!". If a country can be newly created then is not the "The Peoples Republic of China" or "The Republic of China" a newly created country? They can be considered "newly created" too. It is not correct to assume China has not changed in thousands of years but everyone else has and so they are all not deserving of their own area's. Historical claims are destabilising. The generations that follow whomever "took over" a land do not like what happened either. It all resorts to terrible mass violence one way or another. And I am in no way excusing the USA, China, or even my own country. They have all done bad things. Respect, not domination is the only way forwards.
@@dashman13 If according to your logic, past invaders and colonisers are justified in stealing territories from a weak country then by the same logic as the original owner becomes stronger it is entitled to recover all its stolen territories from the past thieves ! The Crimes Act of any country allows recovery of any stolen property.
This is just the latest edict from the Xi regime. It was never a problem saying CCP before Xi became the Glorious Leader. I'm happy saying CCP to annoy Dictator Xi.
China’s getting discounted energy from Russia. That helps lower cost of living and cost of manufacturing. China just got a big boost in sales to Russia, helping to offset sale decline to US. In spite of sanctions and real estate bubble bursting, China is doing 5.3% growth rate
Doesn't it seem strange you'd have one of the most massive housing bubble collapses ever seen, a series of new sanctions and tariffs, a 3rd official year of declining population, more foreign capital leaving than entering (a first) and a number of major factories moving (Foxconn). Yet, amazingly, the govt of China reported a 5.3% GDP growth. Doesn't that seem baffling to you?
@@topsuperseven7910 look at EV production and sales in China. Look at China ramping up integrated circuit chip production and sales. Look at 7% growth in military spending. Look at the accelerated rate of infrastructure projects. Look at the massive increase in consumer spending like tourism. Look at China’s rate of rocket launches and multiple start up companies. Look at mass production beginning of passenger airplane C919. There are 1000 imported manufacturing components under threat of sanctions that China is now working hard to replace with domestic suppliers. I take the CCP official line with a grain of salt but there are many pieces of China’s economy expanding so 5.3% is plausible. What’s not plausible is our own government’s official reports on unemployment, on cost of living, on inflation.
@@magnaviator look at China’s car exports to Thailand. That’s just one example of China now dominating new sales. Belt Road is not meeting all the planned developments on schedule but overall it is still expanding trade rapidly.
John Ross is so correct on so many things, except one. The Cuban missile crisis was as a direct result of the US placing Nuclear weapons in Turkey and refused to remove them for the same reason, that they were too close to Russia, and didn't allow for time. So it's the US repeating this same mistake again and again.
Please share this video out as much as possible, we people don't want wars, but most of people are fooled by the politicians, we have to wake people up
The 2.5 percent growth of the US economy is also based mostly on government spending and financial sector. If you take out these two sectors, which produces very little actual useful things (military spending is not useful and financial boondoggles produce nothing except financial crisis), then there is nothing much left that is productive in the US economy. China's growth is in exports and manufacturing, and they have since moved decisively away from real estate as a major part of GDP growth and focus on high tech, high value supply chains and products. These are real things that people need, the world needs and are useful.
It erroneous to think that all real estate companies in China failed as only a few of the 100,000 real estate developers went bankrupt so the effect on Chinese GDP was tiny. The West would like one to believe otherwise. The companies that failed had high foreign investment so those foreign investors lost the majority of the money.
@@bobsmith3983 Yes indeed. But even before Evergrande, China already has plans to move away from real estate because they are already having excess capacity, and that urbanization is slowly down as they have already achieve more than 60% urbanization. They simply don't need that much anymore. Furthermore, as a Marxist Leninist country, they have strong state capital control and the last thing they want is home grown petty bourgeois challenging the socialist revolution. Evergrande, Country Garden are two companies that exemplified the recklessness of bourgeois behavior of risky over expansion, over leverage that often create bubbles and economic crisis. The real estate is there to make sure people are housed, not to allow rent seeking, and transference of social capital built up over the years, into the hands of the few through speculation and overleveraged expansion. The bubble has to be pop and it was pop ON CHINA'S TERMS. Evergrande and Country Garden also need to be make an example of. No bail outs of these companies and certainly no bailing out of foreign speculators who bought these companies' bonds. Save the people, save the suppliers, save the contractors and let these petty bourgeois sink. Seeing Blackrock losing hundreds of millions in an attempt to steal Chinese people hard earned capital and taxpayers money is just cherry on top.
The thing about China is that they are not only winning the game that they were forced into playing between 1970s to 2020s, they are going to start a new game altogether. We have all been bought up believing in certain values and rules and basically spent our lives living by these - oil is expensive, playing with stocks is great way to make money, if I get a house then its value will increase. Few of us actually stopped to think why and should it happen this way. I think China will soon come forward to shake these beliefs to the core and make us truly re-evaluate what should be valued highly and what should not. Like Napoleon said "When the giant wakes...".
China has become what it is today is because of good leadership, - leaders concern for the welfare of its people thus gaining the people's support unlike the kmt officials during the early republic era who were corrupt and don't care about the welfare of its citizens that is why they lost and has to run to taiwan. The cpc officials continue to think how to improve economy to elevate the livehood of its citizens. After many years of sacrifices it has succeeded and became the envy of western countries and the model of developing countries. China to attain its goals - strong economically, 21:56 21:58 strong militarily, social stability - will rely on leaders like the founder chairmen Mao, Chou, Deng, Xi who thinks of the country's welfare. China needs to contunue promoting economic growth with neighboring countries, to strengthen militarily to protect its interest globally, promote peacefully and strenthen friendly relationship to all. The hundred years of humiliation will hopefully remind China to act fairly and not to interfer other countries internal affairs. China should continue to help less develop nations to grow economically thru financial and technological assistance.
Professor Ross' analyses and opinions are very illuminating and highly educational and therefore immensely valuable. His phrase of " attack on humanity" thoroughly describes the evil behaviour of the beastly creature.
Khrushchev didnt wake up one day and decided to place nuclear weapons in Cuba. It was a reponse to US plans to place nuclear weapons in Turkey. The whole Cuban crisis resolved with both sides agreeing to keep Cuba and Turkey non-nuclear countries and stays to this day.
Why hasn't China responded to the hot war already started by the CIA in a joint operation with local terrorists aybd the Indian Army Intelligence by training and instigating the recent assassinations of five Chibese engineers in Pakistan, similar to the past assassinations of Chinese workers on the BRI project's?

Wow. One of the best talks I've ever heard. Interesting, informative and timely. I like that he doesn't beat around the bush or mince words. He directly addresses the typical, western anti-China narratives and calls them out for the nonsense that they are, and then proceeds to show with examples and facts just exactly why it's not just incorrect nonsense(or lies), but that even the basic premise and logic behind their positions are also illogical nonsense. Awesome.

The 'Arsenal of Democracy' produces 40 percent of the world's weapons. It is a very profitable business model in which other countries buy these weapons to fight each other. The key is maximizing profits without shedding US blood by inducing conflicts between and within countries outside the USA. One client is eager to spend AUD 368 billion to buy a few high-quality used nuclear-powered submarines. This business model's critical components are NATO, QUAD, ANZUS, Five Eyes, AUKUS, and MCC (Mutual Cross-Service Agreement). The US makes the rules, and the US and their friends do not have to follow them. Since WWII, the United States has started 201 wars, overthrew 36 foreign leaders, killed or attempted to kill 50, dropped bombs in 30 countries, and interfered in 86 foreign elections. To make the world safe for democracy, the US has caused the deaths of tens of millions of people in its conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. The CIA was involved in covert operations that resulted in mass killings of communists in over 22 countries, 500,000 to 2,000,000 Indonesian civilians disappeared in 1965-1966. The US is continuing with its strategy to keep Asia poor and divided. This policy was articulated in the top-secret U.S. Foreign Policy written 76 years ago. February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy: Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time. Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975. The 1989 attempt in China failed. The 2019-2020 attempt in Hong Kong also failed. US treatment of Asians in the last hundred years: Philippine-American War: 200,000 to 1,000,000 Filipino civilian deaths Korean War: 2-3 million civilian deaths Vietnam War: 2 million civilian deaths Indonesia 1965-66: 500,000 to 2,000,000 civilians disappeared, instigated by the CIA. Anywhere in the world, if there is a border dispute, it is usually the result of a line drawn by an Englishman; if it is an internal dispute, it is usually the US fueling it. Difference in implementation of divide and conquer strategy.
Whether we like it or not - our sentiments don’t create objective realism. The largest difference between China and OECD now isn’t democracy itself, but the fact that the public sector has agency. Ours generally doesn’t, being outsold to the private corporate sector. That sector isn’t democratic either…?
John Ross is absolutely right ! China did not and will never collapse. I think Gordon Chang, in his book titled 'the coming collapse of China', was shortsighted. And he now he just wrote a new book about a China war. I begin to think it is also a shortsighted view !
Russian is proposing to China for a New shipping route by the IRTYSH RIVER from XIN JIANG through Kazakhstan to Ob river for destination the North Pole
The western countries are rich, not because their people are smarter or more hardworking than the people of the Global South, but because, over the past 500 years, they stole the equivalent of thousands of trillions of dollars worth of wealth that belonged to the Global South countries, like gangs of thieves and murderers become rich by stealing the wealth of other people. In the process, the western countries murdered more than one billion people. China is becoming a rich country thanks to the hard work and ingenuity of its people and to trade and peaceful cooperation with other countries. In the process, China helps other countries to become rich also.
Because of the insecurity and jealousy of these individuals, lack of respect and empathy, also not educated with correct information of their own choosing for centuries decades of history of the past, some people are still living in. Unfortunately , because of these individuals, we are all suffering from this ignorance. Instead of welcoming the truth, different cultures, the new world, allowing us to live in harmony, some people just don’t want to understand , also, afraid of what others would do, therefore limiting our ability to experience the new world. In return, the country is just too far behind the times, and also, the powerful lobbyists continue to control our society, with the corrupt system that they planned in our government for decades, just to secure their wealth, so , the people are forced to accept the evil empire that exists in our country.
I have to add that the latter half of this video seems to ignore the actions of China that can be justly considered as provocative. This goes beyond military expansion. Belt and Road has an expansionist component, as do the construction of artificial islands and maritime harassment in the Philippines and Taiwan.
I've been watching a lot of vlogs of non-Chinese tourists. Sucha an amazing and uplifting time. I read many comments from Chinese how their parents and/or granparesnts were extremely poor to the extent that they even ate sort fo fill their stomach.
Minute 27:06 The position of Women in China Didn't know that the MAJORITY of undergrads as well as graduate students are WOMEN. That is amazing, considering there are considerably more males in China.
I agree that collapse is probably exaggerated. When I was in grad school over 20 years ago, many were predicting collapse. When we visited China in 2007 (which included a visit to Renmin Daxue), few of the future issues were being discussed. Personally, I don't buy the predictions of total collapse. I think the biggest challenges are demographic decline and the real estate bubble. These are tangible issues that will need to be dealt with. China may exacerbate the issue if they choose an adventure in Taiwan. But, in the end I personally believe that the country will somehow adapt.
One also sees young Chinese men wearing Hanfu. Odd that he only noticed women! The economist that many quote or refer to when speaking about the coming decline of China is Michael Pettis. It would be interesting to hear Ross' views on him and his prognostications. In terms of the interesting anecdotes, I spoke to an old lady in China about 5 years ago. She told me that her mother was sold by her family in Northern China to a man from Southern China.
Women in Hanfu greatly outnumber men in Hanfu. He is a male so naturally he notices the women more. Most noted on the annual China decline is Gordon G. Chang.
@@bobsmith3983 Certainly agreed that Chang gets most of the press. I'm talking mainly in academic circles, where the underlying data/views that support the collapse of China nearly always come from Pettis. As Ross is also an academic, he should be able to refute Pettis. It would be nice to see him given an opportunity to do so.

Great interview. I do wonder how if countries move to higher incomes and then developing countries take on the industrial labor to become higher income themselves. What happens when everyone reaches this "high income"? Doesn't this mean then that everyone will be on "normal income". I feel like if there was a dread I say it, "utopian" equal governance, only then would peace be worldwide as competition and capitalism is based on a winners and losers model. As I see it, no matter who wins militarily and/or economically, we are just kicking the same can down the road.
It will mean that all the countries in the world will manufacture most of their requirements as there will be no major labor cost advantage in other countries. There will still be trade and some countries will still have trade surpluses due to the efficiency of their supply chains and labor or in their possession of raw materials.
