Harvard Professor William Kirby on U.S.-China Relations and Clean Tech 

Most American politicians are lawyers. Most Chinese politicians are engineers.

Poor voters only have a choice to choose from both senile old folks for president.

Bingo

Why is a sensible scholar willing to be part of that dirty presidential election game?

No wonder why identity politics is everywhere in America... 😕 Engineers won't play the identity card, but surely lawyers and politicians will.

Wise words.

Xinjiang country no Facebook 🌎

Troll is at work again!!!​@@pingpong7810

@@pingpong7810 There is NO Xinjiang country, its a PROVINCE ! No Facebook in China, not limited to Xinjiang only. Firstly, FB was use by extremist and terrorist to cause negative sentiment and plan terrorist attacks in Xinjiang. Lastly, FB did not want to abide by China's laws and business laws i.e local server, hence they are NOT in China. Its the same where US is demanding Tiktok to have a US server which Tiktok abides and running off oracle.

You don’t have TikTok​@@pingpong7810

But not in the West though.

@@gregwang8628it’s because of the zero-sum attitudes.

Unfortunately for Boeing, due to the increasing list of sanctioned products that U.S. companies and their affiliates are not allowed to be sold to China, this has made the Chinese particularly nervous as to when and which products will next fall before the U.S. President's axe. Consequently, this has accelerated China's own development of its "Yangtse CJ1000 and CJ2000" high by-pass turbofan engines to replace the Boeing- Safran "LEAP" engines in use in its Comac C919 and C929 planes. This means that instead of purchasing Boeing 737 Max planes and "LEAP" engines, they will slowly disappear into the sinking sunset and is what happens when customers are made to feel uncertain of their relationship with their seller. It is a strange way to treat your customers actually - the Australians found out when their previous Prime Minister began making salaciously insulting remarks about China and the Chinese slashed their purchasing of a swath of farm and mining produce from Australia and turned to alternate partners who were only eager for the extra business. It took a change in government which is more amenable to the Chinese that trade relationships began to return to normal.

As the Biden administration has been gradually institutionalizing cold-war 2.0 fashion against China, that kind of trust has been irreversibly broken, so neither sides wants to compromise their own supply chain for that kind of cooperation. Besides, the Union seems the big headache thing or roadblock to the cooperation.

No way it's national security issue 😅

Boeing success or failure is largely due to poor management and drug addicted work forces.

No chance of cooperation. More likely a ban of Comac 919 by the U.S. since it directly competes with Boeing and Airbus.

I can't imagine if one of the old folks became US president. The same happened when Mao senior age which had caused much damage to China.

Unfortunately western politicians are dum deaf to understand anything except those being propagated by sinophobian

You do the intellectuals above a disservice by putting their analysis in the same ethno-centric neo-colonial bucket as Prof Kirby in this biased video clip. Kirby tries to blame China jointly or "mutually" for our egregiously self-destructive technology policies. Prosperity and Peace require an honest reckoning that our hegemony is over

And also blood and hatred. Unfortunately.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, Democracy is A political system that allows the citizens to participate in political decision‐making, or to elect representatives to government bodies. In the US, it definitely has a election system, but does the citizens really participate in the decision making? It seems the capitalists/the rich controls the decision making while majority who cannot give significant donations has no influence at all. In terms of national security, how can someone in drowning in debt ever feel secured?

its the Zionist Wolfowitz gang

@@pingpong7810 Xinjiang is a provincial city of China, not a country. What is so good about Facebook? Keep it.

After so many years people still believe this myth

Too much lobbying.

No, it’s by design.

Because they are not good campaign funders. The American political systems is driven by campaign funding. First the 2 parties have conspired to pass all sorts of rules and regulations That block all other 3rd parties from gaining any representation or seats in the legislative bodies of the United States both at the federal and state level. Then within those 2 parties if you can't raise money you ain't going nowhere in either party. 3/4 of their entire time of an elected official term is spent raising money for their political campaigns, not governing. The other 1/4 of the time is spent implementing policies and will through legislation that will benefit their largest donors. Hence why the United States is in the shape it is.

Ikr. Why can't we just have a website of bios on all the candidates, their morals, credentials, and action plans. We also need more referendums to vote on issues instead of representation and make special interest lobbying illegal!

Agreed with your take. But if the professor said it, I doubt he could remain in Harvard for long.

The Professor's talking points are exactly China's talking points. There is no difference whatsoever. No mention of the incredible open, generous, and gracious support of America for China over the last 30 years. Not even a thank you from China. Just hostility, hacking, spy balloons etc. China took full advantage of American diplomats and played them for fools over the last 3 decades. China is where they are because #1), the hard work and intelligence of the Chinese people and #2) because of American support technologically, open markets, keeping the south China Sea open for commerce, etc.. Americans can't even buy property in China while China certainly can. Reciprocity in hundreds of ways has been non-existent. So America is finally waking up.

China is very respectful of the sovereignty of its neighbors. Everything is negotiable in a civilized manner as it should be.

You think you are wise, but it is exactly your kind of "wisdom" will lead the country down to hell. Perhaps you should think twice abt your "wisdom" as well as his "naive" idea.

Study history before you accuse others of being naive.

it would be a nightmare if China has American politician mindset, and this fears many American citizen.

Erm where have you been in the last 40 years? Requiring joint venture with a local company where the FDI does not maintain full control is a form of protectionism. Since we are watching a Q&A on clean tech so cars are on topic, Tesla is the only foreign brand allowed in China with full ownership mainly because Tesla came late into the market. Policies like these are not unique to China but it is a form of Protectionism to enable domestic brands to have a shot to grow and mature instead of totally crushed by more advanced and larger foreign brands. So Tesla got it good since by the time it enters the China market, the domestic brands have grown and matured and can compete on a global basis. This is just one example. The main difference here is China tells you straight to your face while Murica makes up BS excuses to protect their “good guys” image that really only exist in their political elites minds.

Your side seems to talk with emotion instead of logic. Bravo.

Which university are you from ? Trump university?

The real American is here😂

Maga?

If you don’t care then why did you come to watch this? Your brain lost control of your bodily functions or something lol?
