Ouvvv shoot. The time that he was briefing In Koc University I was in a different and poor university in Turkey. Also, I didn't even know a single word of English. However, the life has different surprises. So, I am able to watch and understand him know. 😅
PRC's lucky # is 9. Any significant date or data related to PRC is 9. 30 years is small change, 60 years is big change, that's how we count using ancient Chinese calender. And its Five Element's qi is wood (east), Mao Zedong literally Mao water east. In 1919, the Chinese people suffered. In 1949, the Chinese people stood up. In 1979, the Chinese people becoming rich. In 2009, the Chinese people took off. In 2039, the Chinese people is peaceful and content. In 2069, world harmony.
Especially the Taoist Internal Martial Art and Alchemy like Yang Style Taichi for the benefit of humanity. 止+戈=武 (wu) dagger on top stop below, means military, violence and martial art, the best fight is no fight, crystallization of The Art of War.
I don't see China dominating their region the way the US dominates its region, China was never able to dominate Korea and Japan. But that said I'm sure that China will become the most powerful nation on the planet by 2060-2100.
As a Chinese, I agree with you. Chinese political tradition was based on farming, which profoundly impact China's ruling styles and Chinese thinking styles. It's impossible for China to dominate the neighbouring regions in American style.
The 21st century is the century of rapid decline for Europe and America, and rapid revitalization of China, India and Brazil. It is the century of traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Chinese Medicine and Martial Arts. A comprehensive Chinese cultural renaissance is underway, while economy, technology, military, politics and so on are only the means of cultural renaissance, they are small skills to carve the mighty dragon, not the purpose.
China clearly doesn't equate financial growth with military growth, one can absolutely not apply the American ethos on China, American wealth was the direct result of a war so the "policeman of the world" came rather naturally, China's wealth comes from standard commercial activity in times of peace, the imperatives are completely different. Since it is the US that is being pushed by the new kid here, if ever there is a war it will be the US trying to protect it's commercial leadership position, China has nothing to gain by provoking a war, on the contrary, it could lose everything.
ROP? Come on, how can you claim to be China where you are no longer in proper China? Look at Singapore, 80% from Chinese ancestor, even their PM still have families in China. Taiwanese need to make a decision now, either try to be apart of PRC or be rich and throw away your heritage.
Guan Huang Pointing out my mistyping doesn't make ROC any more legitimacy. In fact, not much people know about ROC but far more knew Taiwan. China is a multicultural country, not a Han state. You may can do debate Taiwanese retain more han tradition, but NOT China
Using realism as reference, whether or not China is being "restored", if the rest of the world sees it as threatening, they will by all means do what is necessary to reduce that threat. I know it sucks, but anarchy would imply no universal morality. There is no right or wrong.
He talks about USA being a pacifier in Europe and if America's military leaves there and NATO is dismantled, then European countries (France & Germany, for e.g) would start increasing their own individual military capabilities which could be seen as a threat between each other. However, I think they would just create their own 'NATO' like institution in an effort to protect their European Union (identity).
It's very correct. He approved another country don't think so in history according to his aggresive realism. If Hitler win war and unify all Europe, He is most respectful person. He got rid of personal charactor,ideology,culture, Indtead, He insist power game of power country in Anarch(No King over the all country) Every country has same reason for their safety. As USA is super power, He insist Democracy is good and this foreign policy was wrong in Middle country. No prejudice, Very Cool Intellectual Professor.
