U see chinese products quality and you know their overall quality. They are far behind us.

I was active in the US Navy between 2011-2017, and did 2 deployments in amphibious fleets acting within the 5th fleet (Middle East) and 7th fleet (Pacific) in 2013 and 2016. We had to act as "presence of force" in the South China Sea during both deployments as we crossed through 7th fleet, and moored in multiple ports of the surrounding states. China always has multiple subs and spy planes following our fleets to act as bravado, but it's crazy how easily we could blockade China from our positions all throughout Southeast Asia, while the US literally sits on the complete other side of the world.

The USMC specifically has been well ahead of the curve. They've been moving back to their roots for several years now and have been toying around with some next level stuff. A lot of the drone use we're seeing in Ukraine has already been tested by Marines going back several years. They are increasing the size of the fireteam to make use of these small surveillance drones that can also pack a top down punch using remote grenades. They want close air support on multiple scales. Keep in mind it was the USMC that first experimented with close air support in WW1. So now an assistant squad leader will help with mission critical and future cyber warfare capabilities on the squad leaders right shoulder, and a dedicated drone operator with 40mm remote grenades and likely other portable suicide drones on the squad leaders left shoulder. Every single squad will have the new Carl Gustaf. That's a lot of punch. Bye bye light machine gun. Every Marine sans the Gustaf gunner has the ability to lay down suppressing fire with the M27. They not only ditched their tanks but are also in the process of ditching most tubed artillery in favor of HIMARS which they proved can be fired from moving ships. Also eyeing the ballistic missiles in a shipping container concept. They are restructuring for island fights in a major way and with some serious ingenuity.

Technically if one thinks of aircraft carriers as being able to host fighter jets instead of just helicopters, then yea, the smaller LHA & LHDs of the US Navy counts. And recently the US Navy managed to bolster their arsenal further by successfully testing out the conversion of their 2 America-class LHAs, USS America & USS Tripoli, into being able to host 20 F-35Bs. So now the number of US carriers that can send F-35 jets into combat have increased from 11 to 13, without even building any new carrier. And the number of those LHAs will gradually increase overtime. Another thing this video didn't mention is Japan's Navy ("Self-Defense Force"). The Japanese are now even converting their 2 largest helicopter carriers into aircraft carriers to also being able to host and operate F-35Bs, and additionally the Japanese Navy has about as many destroyers, frigates and submarines as the Royal Navy & French Navy combined. All of Japan's naval assets will definitely be in full support of the US Navy in the event of war with China and their misguided fantasies of invading Taiwan.

For non-Malaysians, Limbang is an exclave outside Sarawak (Malaysia)-Brunei border. The people of Limbang had to cross the Brunei border to get to the other side of Malaysia; the other possible way is through the jungle. However, as a plot twist - from what I have read - Brunei did not explicitly recognise Limbang as Malaysian despite these exchange.

actually the reason the Vietnamese claims are so vast are due to our millennium long occupation of both the paracel isles and the spratley isles which could go back to upwards of hundreds up to a thousand years in which we were the first and practically only populated integrity of the area, our Fishermans fished there for years and throughout the ages we claimed those isles as part of our civil ruling, until in recent times that is when China, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei started expanding as well and asserting their claims, relative to them, we have proper documentations from ancient times of when we were first there and were recognized to be apart of our nation by the olden French Empire, the Qing Dynasty and the other powers within the region at the time, now China is claiming they were there first, illegally killing our soldiers stationed there in 79' and has been reasserting themselves ever since.

I learned much of this in school, some 20 years ago. Back then it was mostly about driving a wedge between communist regimes - the latest gas reserves were unknown (like in Ukraine...), but the importance of Taiwan and the region was already abundantly clear. Same for the support for dictators and Israel in the Middle East, or the invasion of Vietnam for that matter. The latter aimed to thwart China above all else - done more successfully in South Korea: creating an ally next door to China (the invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan have a similar origin, right next to Iran). The fact you compare this (and books, dedicated journalists - real information) to TV and the news (mostly entertainment) is just baffling. The latter want ratings and are nearly always shallow, short tempered and near sighted... The former often has little money, doesn't get (nor wants) much attention, but loves his/her work. You'd expect them in places like this, or in some obscure magazine/website. People like woodward and attenborough stand out, but it took them a long time to get noticed (since it wasn't about being noticed - not about them, but about their love). But better late then never I suppose. Quality takes time. It's easier to just keep peddling fear, temptation and sensational but pointless events. Makes money a lot easier and people who invest money just love that. This is the main problem with MSM (and to some extent politics) these days; their audience became too big and the MSM are offering the lowest common denominator in an effort to maximise profit - the achilles' heel of capitalism. Ideals are a lot more difficult to sell, they take effort... The dude here still believes in informing people and objectivity. That's rare in big corporations, especially when they are present on wall street, when they have stocks and a lot of people who just want money. In the end, all of this is about money. And the power it holds over people and their greed. Finding out the motivation behind a narrative is very important, each and every day - most 'impportant' people tend to be very manipulative. The number one reason why we don't like lawyers and politicians - and these days, oh so many journalists and tv hosts. The majority make a living by selling lies. And now there are conspiracies everywhere as a result...

Brilliant Video. thank you!

The thing about land trade is that it’s easily destroyed. Rail and pipes could be taken out with a couple well placed air strikes and I’m sure they would be put out of service for at least a couple weeks which would give time to make more strikes and with them extending so far you could treat it like futile warfare and attack and pull out all along the lines effectively ruining the supply for good.

The ultimate problem with BRI is that while it might have some great political and social benefits, when it comes to moving goods... moving by land is 8x to 12x as expensive for $/ton/mile than shipping the same tonnage by sea. At some point China has to sell goods to someone else, and their cost to produce those goods is higher if they need to move raw materials in, or finished goods out via land.

You forgot to mention Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar islands which are way closer to Aceh, Indonesia than mainland India. It has a huge military presence and India is increasing that. Andaman and Nicobar Islands are our unsinkable aircraft carrier. India and China aren't really friends either and in 2020 there was a deadly skirmish leading to deaths in Himalayas. In case war breaks out and India is dragged in, India will inevitably ally with US and give Americans access to Andamans. Through Andamans, Indian Navy itself can choke strait of Malacca. A quad imposed blockade of Malacca through Andamans is a logical possibility happening if things go south.

Crazy how just a few figures on imports and shipping routes can more or less explain every geopolitical move China has made for decades.

One thing that the video didn't mention is the US has been funneling money into Xinjiang to promote anti-Chinese extremism in the same way it did to Afghanistan. A little history about Afghanistan is prior to the Russian occupation of Afghanistan, the Afghani state was a home grown socialist government that had initiated land reforms which were ushering in a new era of economic progress for Afghani people. People were climbing out of poverty and the nation was marching towards a secular future. The CIA began funding people like Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda to stop this, prompting the Afghan government to invite Russia into the mix. Decades later and Afghanistan is a Hand Maid's Tale / Gilead style feudal wasteland, and it is entirely due to US foreign policy. The US has been laying the ground work for the same time of insurgency in Xinjiang for generations. The narrative promoted by the US state department is it is a defender of human liberties around the world and respects all peace loving peoples. But in reality, it props up monsters like Pinochet, Saddam, etc, and will align itself with bandits like Osama Bin Laden against people who were otherwise at peace and happy with their governments, as long as it suits their agenda. It then comes in to clean up the mess with a campaign of "liberation" and astro turfs the airwaves with stories about how awful things are for these people. But very often things are awful directly because of years of US intervention and arbitrage. China is defending itself from a US empire that threatens its sovereignty. The situation in Xinjiang is the reactionary result of US meddling. After all, it hasn't been Chinese naval vessels prowling the oceans waterways. It hasn't been Chinese secret services toppling democratically elected governments the world over. It hasn't been Chinese international financial operations forcing neoliberal austerity regimes on previously prosperous countries, in order to pry them open for Wall Street and EU based investors. There's two sides to every tale. Infographic's is definitely shaded in favour of one in particular.

As a Malaysian, i'd like to thank you for highlighting this ongoing concern for our country's sovereignity.
