The West Is Shooting Its OWN FOOT Trying To Isolate China | Warwick Powell 

The overcapacity in the U.S. arms industry has led to the instigation of wars and unrest all over the world.

China has demonstrated its capability in shipbuilding, infrastructure construction, high-speed rail, steel, aluminum, rare earth, electric cars, solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries. Together with other priorities, China should concentrate on increasing its capability in nuclear power (Thorium molten salt reactor and Femtosecond Laser-Induced Aneutronic Lattice Confinement Fusion ) generation to reduce its dependency on coal and imported oil and gas. Unlimited energy and vertical farming will end China's food dilemma. All these capabilities will benefit the rest of the world.

Between 2006 and 2016, I spent a lot of time travelling around East Asia. Mainly Japan, but also China, Taiwan and S Korea. And even back then, all the talk was of China gradually pivoting away from exports, and creating its own 'middle class' who would have disposable income, and become domestic consumers. So one can see this was all planned out beforehand. (Off-topic, but did you see the Guardian had done an article praising the Azov Brigade? Calling them 'elite', and saying they would save Ukraine. I couldn't believe my eyes! It is/was hidden away in their 'Ukraine' section. No comments allowed. I have been a regular reader since the mid-1970s, and I never thought I'd see anything like that! They have blood on their hands - the blood of young Ukrainians).

Janet Yellen will NEVER complain China’s overcapacity if China continues to export toys and clothing or any low-end products. Take motor vehicle, both combustion engine and electric vehicle, for example, We hear NO complain or concern for Japan who exports roughly 70+%, or German 60+% or South Korea 50+% of their annual gross production, but American are talking about China for its only 15% exports by year 2023. Global market competition is the only judge to decide if any enterprise can survive, and protectionism in the long run is only to deteriorate the competitiveness and destined for failure.

Warwick always speaks a lot of sense. Great guest.

Good to hear China is rejecting the tech rent model. Open source rocks!

Thanks Pascal for inviting Warwick Powell discussing objective Truth about China. Enlightening & a breath of fresh air 👌👍

This is excellent, never heard of this speaker before.

Great explanations by your good guest.

Great points by Warwick Powell about the various rounds of unintended consequences of technology bans and decoupling!

Extremely insightful. Your attempt to destroy a foreign countries productivity does harm to yourself and strengthens theirs is poetic justice. Amazing.

Brilliant!

Superb analysis. It's rare to hear alternative views on these issues in the Australian mainstream media - who uniformly think it is more lucrative to bang the war drums than to talk about buildling a better future. It makes me happy to know that there are Australians who have not swallowed the Kool aid.

And we Aussie learn NOTHING from our Neighbors in the north ! ?

Warwick is great guest 😀

Another excellent guest!! Thank you to you both.

If you study the Chinese history, 2 abilities come to the fore - perseverance & innovation.

Thank you Warwick for telling us the true state of things going on around the world .

Very very insightful....thank you both for sharing your learning & knowledge....

Hi Mr Warwick and Pascal ❤️🇨🇭🙏😇👋

Conspicuously, China has transcended from a low tech manufacturing economy to become inarguably the new leader in Industry 4.0. It has moved ahead of the industrialised West in the integration of intelligent digital technologies into manufacturing and industrial processes encompassing industrial IoT networks, AI, Big Data, robotics, and automation. To Washington, that was not supposed to be. At least not in another ten to twenty years from now. That explains why Washington is doubling down on its efforts to slow down China. Clearly, to Washington the greatest leverage against its new found peer competitor will have to come from a collective approach involving its allies - accompanied by a collective, coordinated, and sustained effort - to isolate and to deny China the advanced and cutting-edge technology, as well as the access to the their markets. However, such belligerent denial strategy will not work. Instead it had actually speeded up China’s push towards innovation and technological self-reliance, as well as opening up new frontiers and markets for its affordable and high quality products. Truth be told, the so-called “Chip War” - the battle to control ostensibly the world’s most critical resources-microchip technology - has ended as soon as it started. Why do I say that? Simply put, China was contented to buy advanced chips “off the shelf”. But that was until Washington waged the so-called Chip War thinking, erroneously, that it will strangulate the Chinese. But instead of achieving that shallow goal, it backfired. It has actually serve as a catalyst to accelerate China’s transition to become the new leader in Industry 4.0.

The guest is very knowledgeable in geoeconomics and geopolitics. He has his own special insight and observation of others.

Congratulations on 100k subs Pascal

No country consumes everything it produces. Any grade schooler understands this. US produces huge volume of agricultural products for export. Miidle Esst coubtries export hugebvolume of oil. European coubtries export huge amount bof cars and nachineries. Are they all over capacity ? Any one with minimum IQ levrl understands this.

State-controlled enterprises in China offer public services like infrastructure construction, electricity and water supply and advanced science and technology research for military and future applications that featured either long ROI or non-profit pursuing characteristics. This is a typical leitmotif for socialist country. What makes China special is its extreme large domestic market allowing entrepreneur to come up with innovative ideas and business models comprising its vibrant private business sectors that must gone thru extensive internal competition before first thriving within China then moving on to the globe.

Didn't someone say once, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" ?

true true in the name of protecting something is actually destroying it. An informative and insightful commentary.😊

What a great person to interview! He has so much knowledge. Well done to find and have him on the show!

Excelent. Thank you from a new subscriber.

Great interview.Thanks

Classic Aussie voice. Sounded odd at first on Pascal’s channel but in a few minutes it just makes me feel more at home here. I need to listen to this twice though. My financial IQ isn’t high.

Very impressive picking the brains of Warwick Powell! Facts and logic base arguments really good.

Very interesting interview!

BRAVO CHINA !!!!!!!

👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳👏👏👏

Thank you.

Excellent analysis and very insightful.

Techno- feudalism ... digital landlords is exactly right. The western IP based companies were/are not happy with the digital public infrastructure that India built in the UPI, but for India it has boosted digital payment transaction sky high without the exorbitant fees that Western (read US) private payment systems extract from the payer and the payee, and boosted innovation in payment platforms that sit on top of UPI, exactly like Warwick mentions happened in the case of Huawei in China. Spurs innovation and economic activity rather than throttle/destroy it by the digital landlords. A new form of open non-rent-seeking capitalism that will supercharge economies while not allowing Western techno-feudalism. What a concept!

Very informative video; great 👍

Tres bonne video riche d'enseillement

From low coat mass productions to high quality technical innovations. It's a logical process. Its called two levels economy.

"China is a sleeping giant, when she wakes she will shake the world", or "China is a sleeping dragon" or China is a sleeping lion, is a phrase widely attributed (albeit without evidence) to Napoleon Bonaparte,

The USA has successfully forced Mexico to cancel the deal to allow BYD cars to be built in Mexico for export into the USA.

Decoupling is an ultimately stupid idea. We will thrive by working together, not by isolating ourselves. The American Neocon government is supremely retrogressive.

Good one. Glad to hear from someone who looks at the whole picture. Just give me the theory - I can arrive at my own conclusions.

Not USA,in coming 10 years young populations growth will be the main issue for china China should not underestimate this issue like Japan South Korea.

West is isolate west 😂😂

The Stanford Research Institute Center for the study of Social Policy aims to change the desire of mankind from that of industrial progress to one that ambraces war by non-violent or non-linear confrontation. The study asserts that, in our present society, the image of industrial and technological man is obsolete and must be discarded. The SRI study concludes that "we must change thr industrial-technological image of man fast, and that the last two centurirs will be inadequate for the post-industrial era."

we shall see in 5 years if the projection hold true.

Technofeudalism, autoimmune policies… very insightful.

He says that but there has been significant abrupt decoupling already and the trend will continue.

China's unique experience in modern industrialization during cold war period make it unprecedented. China started out its industrialization path with heavy industry (steel mill, oil refinery, armament...etc) aimed for military support (to USSR) during 1980 before contributing its multi-millions labor force to the globe with assembly and light industry after joining WTO by 2000. What China tried to offer to any developing country is an ad hoc industrialization policy depending upon the strength & abundance of resource (physical and human) ownership and state-level financial capability. You can be an expert in type-specific agriculture plantation or mineral retraction first and then move up to the value-added chain for manufacturing integration.

Without traveling much, but a bit, and reading, one can get a decent picture. Hegemonic trade pattern is that most of imports and exports are to and from hegemon, and hegemon dominates production of goods with highest added value. E.g. the trade of Rome with neighbors EXCEPT Persia. Quasi--hegemon may mediate a trade, but without dominance in production, and that tends to be unstable, Portugal and Spain had quasi-hegemon position for relatively brief time, but as mediators, they were by-passed by Netherlands, subsequently by Britain. So this time the collective West is a bit like Spain ca. 1600 or Netherlands ca. 1670: production of most profitable goods declined through outsourcing, so it uses military dominance to maintain the mediator position, but that military balance follows production too with some delay. That raises a point what is the good strategy for a declining power? A declined power can have a comfortable existence, Netherlands did not become destitute after loosing to England, but that requires a strategy that does not put all eggs in the basket of military domination -- which is futile.

The power of AUTOIMMUNITY ( Self protection) has the opposite effect of being the birth of other accelerated alternative open sourced technologies which leads to the rise of Huawei's CHIP PRODUCTION in China and the indigenous Indian G5 development

The notion that solar and wind would allow any country to achieve electricity autonomy is hard to agree with. renewables require considerable commodities to build the infrastructure (so autonomy is nigh impossible), require considerable hydrocarbons to manufacture the infrastructure and ultimately will never be able to scale up to meet our ever increasing electricity needs. the projections of the energy needs of AI data centres is significant.

Professional wrestling.

Follow India. 😊 Calling leftists to discuss the left never works. 😊

Chinese version of technology innovation is targeted towards improvement of their country and ordinary people lives in all areas.

Do unboxing silver soon😅😅😅

Is Warwick Powell related to Colin Powell ? , or is that Colin Powells avatar.

All I can say is … hahahahahahaha

you made your bed West now you get to sleep in it....... Why do you think BRICS has taken off like wildfire?

You can tell he is Australian because he is allergic to the word communism hahaha wow i hate my country haha

Pascal basic thinking freespeach bad fascism good

👍✌️👍🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦➕️👏👏👏

As if it hasn't saddled itself with enough other problems, due to the huge amount of debt and derivatives both domestically and internationally, the U.S. is on an irreversible course toward runaway inflation and, eventually, total government bankruptcy. This will become increasingly evident throughout the 2020s and probably culminate sometime in the early 2030s. What will happen then? The reason I said that China will 'drag the west kicking and screaming into the 21st century' is that I think something like the following will develop: The U.S. will be in terrible shape - but it has some assets that are worthwhile to the world economy - a large landmass with natural resources, extensive (although aging and in need of refurbishment) infrastructure, some tech expertise remaining, some educational facilities remaining, a fairly large and heterogeneous population, etc....the stuff of any formerly 1st world country. It's also an increasingly dangerous neck of the woods to leave with a bunch of nukes sitting around. It's bordered by Canada and Mexico - large countries resource-wise in their own right, and has connections with Europe, Australia, etc. I mention these attributes because I think that China and the Global South will see the U.S. not only as a danger, but also as a potential asset to the world economy. Once the U.S. finds itself in trouble and finally capitulates to reality - which is unavoidable - if the Global South can extend some 'tough love' and work with this newly cooperative America to get it on its feet and being productive, they will see that as preferable to having it continue as some sort of chaotic rogue state. I can see agreements being implemented which the U.S. will not be able to refuse, stabilizing the money, extending loans, building infrastructure, etc. These will involve binding conditions wherein China et al can be assured that they will benefit from what America has left of itself. Unlike the west, China, the BRICS+ and its sister organisations do not waste time with false ideologies - they're pragmatic and forward looking. Once the west's money and bullying ability has disappeared and it can't beat 'em, it'll join 'em. That will be 'the only game in town'.

Is it coincidence that he looks like Colin Powell?

Jai Hind. The 5Eyes consumers could and should pay a bit more for our Made in India products which are produced without overcapacity, slave labor or subsidies.

I'm disappointed that this podcast never touched on issues regarding the (social/political/economic) predicaments faced by the Chinese population. Is it not true that the Chinese people have been and still are being routinely abused and exploited by their government in all sorts of ways? Could all those accounts I hear of -- organ harvesting, Uighur Muslim labor camps etc -- be _fabrications_ by Westerners with ill intentions? If not, then what should the West do regarding these? Turn a blind eye and continue doing business with China as usual? Such questions are not entirely irrelevant to economic concerns. If the Chinese people eventually get sufficiently pissed with the CCP and actually stage a successful coup, how will that affect Chinese society and China's economy, and for that matter the global economy?

Is he related to Colin Powell? Looks like him. Could be his brother

Pascal don't know how to pronounce Warwick even though there is a famous University called University of Warwick, curious.
