China's national wealth goes 90% goes to their small wealthy elite. They do not improve their people's lives so they keep a 3rd world status. Mexico also has much wealth and so does India, but their people do not - except for a wealthy few - so these nations are also classed as 3rd world countries, without restrictions to energy or pollution in the Paris Climate Accord. Then they hamstring countries like the USA, Australia and in Europe by setting unrealistic pollution limits and even payouts to India.

If a nation state has enemies who can harm it and the people within it, then the question of friend or foe is vital question, yes? My claim is supported by the facts in world history, mythology, political science, etc. So I think your opinion that the question is “childish” is inaccurate. Maybe you should rethink your stance? Besides insults do you have any evidence or sources to support your claims? Any examples of nationstate craftsmanship past or present to support your claim that asking the question is a nation a friend or foe is childish? If that is own emotional feelings, then fine.

China's enormous gdp growth since 2008 is hollow to a substantial extent. Lots of malinvestment amplified by exaggerated (fake) numbers. At one point the USSR also had impressive gdp growth and Krushchev threatened "We will bury you" economically. Many people in politics, economics, and big business thought the Soviets' centralized command and control system really was superior, but there was lots of inefficiency and malinvestment. Remember, any government can get impressive gdp numbers just by paying people to dig holes and fill them in again, or you can build enormous pyramids. US gdp collapsed catastrophically in 1946 because we were demobilizing from the war, but the general public did not even notice, because much of our gdp in 1945 was war spending that did nothing to improve people's lives. Furthermore, if Japan is not out-innovating the US, I doubt China is about too either. The West is in such rapid decline that China may indeed become the world's preeminent power one day, but not on the CCP's time table, and probably not with their current system. They still need secure private property rights, reliable private contract enforcement, and less centralization and arbitrary rule. But from a geopolitical view, perhaps it is better for us that the CCP is unwilling to make those reforms.

The American model is looking dysfunctional. The rise of the greedy people and corporations intent on accumulating wealth on a massive scale which inevitably involves suppressing individuals may account for this. America even allows its politicians to be bought by the rich so that they are accountable to their donors rather than the people. So many restrictions on capitalism that are aimed at safe-guarding individual rights, the environment, social justice, public health and basic common sense are gone. The Chinese authoritarian model has worked on a rising model of economic success. It has yet to be tested by failing economic conditions

This scholar is a bit facetious in his idealization of Han Chinese identity. The traditional Han Imperial identity ended with the Song Dynasty in 1279 AD after decades of war with the Mongol Khans. The Mongol victors adopted the external form of the Han Confucian bureaucracy and the Imperial court. China essentially became a very different Mongol kingdom with an external Han form. A series of such hybrid Imperial kingdoms, ostensibly Chinese, unfolded over the centuries until the final 'dynasty', the Qing, ended in 1912. The Chinese have pretended a succession of 3 very different 'Chinese' identities unfolded: the first from the 14th Century BC until the Era of Contending States' began in 475 BC (which lasted till 225 BC); the second series of dynasties from 225 BC to 1279 AD; the third (Mongol) from 1279 to 1912. China is now entering a 4th iteration which they will likely insist is China4.0. It's as if the West pretended Athens / Rome through the Holy Roman Empire through the European states are all one Western Imperial identity. It's all illusion.

Dear Raoul. Your videos are exceptional and important. However, this one is exigent. Graham Allison is an incredibly important strategist, and Kyle brings this subject to life. I was the 7611 viewer, the same day as release. I suspect we may have Mr T watch this video subsequently. If not yet, then any close colleague would be well advised to point Mr T as this. It is a very important discussion on where we are, and what might play out. Perhaps more important than the looming global recession (which is likely to exacerbate this China situ). It seems Mr T may have more insight than we first thought.

Finally Graham Allison, a scholar with intelligence and deep understanding of China and world affairs. As per Mr Allison, China is a Friend, Foe and Adversary depending on the issue. The goal should be how we can best collaborate with them moving forward. Their economy will surpass the US no matter what as they have 4X our population. As such, finding solutions that works for everyone is key.

Thucydides presented the official Athenian explanation for the war--Sparta fearing a rising rival--but the truth is the war only started when Athens turned militarily expansionist. Nevertheless, Athens sought to blame the war on the Spartans, but some historians think that Pericles strategically engineered the conflict in an effort to make Athens the unchallenged hegemonic power in Hellas. Sparta herself tended to mind her own affairs. Merchant republics such as Athens, Venice, or our own country, the United States, have tended to be expansionist. Perhaps being a naval power also has something to do with expansionist tendencies. In the long run, Sparta won the war, but Athens got to tell the story, so Athens' version of events is the one that tends to get recounted today, often rather uncritically. In the nineteenth century, Americans (north and south) tended to identify with Sparta. Nowadays, we tend to identify with Athens. I am sure that says something important about the ways in which our own society has changed. I would add that if you are looking to history as a guide to your foreign policy, then it is important to get the history right.

@larrydavid5260

4 жыл бұрын

Your explanation only restates what Thucydides theorized. One side was rising relative to the other side, gaining power and influence. The other side desired to retain its position as the dominant power, hence the conflict. Remember that war takes two sides, if one side simply concedes or surrenders, there's no conflict. Also, from your tone you seem to suggest that expansionism is not to be looked upon positively. Except that's why we get to be expansionist, but cry foul the moment someone else turns expansionist. Although keep in mind this no different than any other country in the world that has the power to be expansionist. And btw, we might identify a little more with Athens because we think of their ancient "voting system" as more like a "democracy" and Sparta's military oligarchy as more like a "dictatorship". I would think that those of us in the U.S. have always identified with Athens more, I'm not sure whether there was any point in history that we would identify more with Sparta, and I think this is why it is Athens' version of history we recount, because their "rise" or expansionism was justified in our eyes, due to their "democracy".

Y T I won’t disagree with you that America’s’ beginnings were always about freedom, but folks forget it was religious freedom that they established themselves here in America. They were running hard and fast from a Papist government. That being said our government, at some point in time, changed its ideals from a Nationalist to a Globalist entity that knew what it was doing all along by giving away our manufacturing base so they could maximize profits and never looked back at the populace bc we do not vote in CEOs or any other private Corporation including Pharmaceuticals. The richer they got the power they obtained so that they would never hv to share the pie with anyone including their own country men. The only citizens that wanted a Republic/Democracy are the ones with the least power except for the right to vote. We as citizens hv agreed that state and the private sector are never to be combined( fascism) and we also agreed that church and state would never be combined ( we are not Papists) so as a result, we don’t hv really really strong laws from elected officials, voted in by the populace, that would protect its citizens from the rampages and destruction that private industry can do to a country. Nixon opened up China and didn’t set up any ground rules that would protect our manufacturing base. And worse, even if I’m wrong and there were laws that industry needed to abide with , to keep us protected, they obviously broke those laws and no one punished them. I would suggest to everyone on this thread to buy, or rent a home in a rural area wherever you live. Learn to grow your own food and learn how to create energy to warm yourself and use for cooking. This is a very huge task for all of us bc we hv been under the impression that the lives we are living now can/would never go back to what we were when we were farmers on this land.

China has benefitted from the dual economic models of China's central control and Hong Kong's market economy. Authoritarian control enables its companies and banks to report inaccurate accounts for decades which cover up the wasted resources such as empty cities and roads leading no where. If these crumbling buildings were properly valued then the growth figures previously reported would have to be significantly downgraded. In a market economy supply versus demand sets the price of each product so the value of accommodation for over a million people in ghost cities would be very low considering the lack of demand has left them empty for many years resulting in many of them needing to be repaired due to poor quality control duriing construction and the lack of maintenance since. These over valued assets has produced many rich Chinese who have bought much of Honk Kong's property rising the prices to astronomical amounts. This expansion of the money supply that has fueled the boom was due to Honk Kong's access to western capital markets. However the recent proposed changes of the law in Hong Kong whereby their citizens may soon be subjected to Chinese courts and imprisonment in the mainland could cause the end of this preferential dual system. Also the practice of the Hong Kong currency being pegged to the US Dollar is not sustainable with the present interest rate difference resulting in the rundown of their foreign exchange reserves to near zero. If this inflow of capital via Hong Kong dries up then China's economy will likely grind to a halt.

China is a major threat to human rights and seems to be the globalists laboratory to perfect population control before they spread their methods across the globe starting with the EU. The globalists used the Global Warming Hoax to transfer trillions of Carbon Tax Credits from the west and subsidise China and India the worst polluters while taking a slice for Maurice Small and Gore along the way. The UK for instance is paying more Carbon Tax on coal than it cost to buy thereby causing the industry to be uncompetitive with China and India who are not only exempt from the tax but also gain from subsidies on green methods of production. I can only guess that the scale of the corruption (trillions of USD) would be the driving force that maintains the idea that higher CO2 levels is bad for the planet and so must be taxed. The truth is we need more CO2 to bring it back to the long term average because the plants were suffocating but are now experiencing 30% faster growth rates with the same levels of nutrients and water supply. China has been blessed in many ways because it suited the elite to promote it in order to profit by the transition. However, most of China's advantages will be stopped if Trump has his way.

It is very hard for ppl in individualistic cultures to understand the concept of any collectivistic culture. China has a long history of over 5000 years. China’s civilization has a rich content and Chinese respect knowledge from ancestors. That’s why Chinese do understand that all civilizations go up and down as a natural process. That’s why Chinese show respects to things Chinese can’t understand and agree that there are different values. Many of these concepts are hard to accept by NA cultures or EU cultures. And that makes the difference.

@@dongxuzhou4661 I agree that American people are more individualistic compared to the Chinese people. It was one of the main reasons for our founding as a nation after all. However, China being a collectivist culture that can not be understood by individualists is, IMO, wrong. The argument between collectivism and individualism has been mostly settled throughout the world. Democracy, individual human rights, and the freedoms given to people in an individualistic society are superior to the dictatorial, collectivist society. Again, this is just my opinion, and I respectfully disagree.

Kyle, well done!

Great interview !

Hello All. Mr. Graham Allison of Harvard is presenting real facts and real truths on all the topics. Please listen to this wise statesman. Mr. Kyle Bass and all of us, must keep on learning from him. Don't be brainwash and programmed by opportunists that expressed frustrations, discrimination and hatred.

Thank you Rockefeller Foundation. Consult the John Birch Society on literacy. Bucky Fuller pointed out that if your elementary education is not excellent, college is a waste of time and money.

Bass was one of the first people on the planet to warn about what was coming in 2008. If you get the chance to watch the outstanding 'CNBC Originals: House of Cards', TV documentary, by David Faber, watch that sucker. Bass is featured in it, telling the Wall Street investment bankers what was coming. They didn't heed his warning. He bought insurance on the debt which was going to default and made billions when the insurance paid off after the debt went bad. His money making journey started at a casual conversation at a wedding in Europe. Every high school student in the US should be required to watch, 'CNBC Originals: House of Cards'. It is brilliant.

I think as the 2020 election approaches, the President may opt for a "somewhat" measurable and enforceable deal that is virtually meaningless, at the end of the day. A deal that apparently succeeds with the trade imbalance but provides limited and temporary solutions to the IP issues is effectively meaningless but, perhaps politically expedient.

Ideology? They don't have any? Unless greed is an ideology?

See some comments about HK, Taiwan and China so many misconception and misunderstanding. Brief history - Taiwan was formed when the Nationalist Chinese lost the civil war with the Chinese communist and were kicked out of China. The KMT(Nationalist Chinese) ruled Taiwan as a dictatorship before they became a democratic system similar to the US model. HK was a British colony for over 150 years after the British took it by force and HK was never a democracy as it was a British colony, similar to India which was a British Colony too. HK political system is base on legislative seats given to business community, elected by the people and the Chief Executive is elected by a body of representatives rather than an open election by all HK people. China political system has also evolved to a communist party meritocracy system which choose their leaders base on meritocracy and performance and rise through the rank and file have some similarities to the old Chinese scholar system of the old Chinese dynasties which was even adopted when China was conquered by first the Mongols and later the Manchus nomadic invaders north of China.

About the Marshall plan. A primary reason that Europe was so poor was the US policy of de-industrializing Germany. Millions starved to death because of this. The Marshall plan was begun in July 1947 in the form of occupation order JCS 1779. However, up until then, JCS 1067 had been in force, which was a catastrophe. The big difference was not the aid USA sent. The big difference was that USA were no longer stopping Germany from exporting from its heavy industry.

Actually, 150 years ago the Chinese were doing the majority of the heavy lifting and the very dangerous demolition necessary to complete the Trans-continental Railroad for a little upstart nation of dirt-farmers, called the United States of America. (Albeit, we barely qualified as 'united' at the time.) That was the public infrastructure project which put the US on the path to 'super statehood', and Chinese immigrants proved decisive in enabling it to be completed in the time-frame stipulated by Congress. Apropos... Leland Stanford, president of Central Pacific, former California governor and founder of Stanford University, told Congress in 1865, that the majority of the railroad labor force were Chinese. "Without them,” he said, “it would be impossible to complete the western portion of this great national enterprise, within the time required by the Acts of Congress.” More Chinese immigrants began arriving in California, and two years later, about 90 percent of the workers were Chinese."

I am sorry to say (opine) that my generation, (BBs) have demonstrated the folly of counting on 'Judeo/Christian' principles to insure the honorable execution of our democratic franchise, and we are materially responsible for squandering the legacy of WWII. While the Chicoms are certainly the most tyrannical, our 'government' (writ large) is the most corrupt (recently proven beyond even my own cynical assumptions). I hold the Chinese culture in very high regard, except for what appears to be a blind-spot when it comes to questioning the necessity for 'benign totalitarian government'. On the other hand, given the debacle of our two failed presidencies in succession, followed by an attempted Coups D'Etat by the losing opposition in 2016, its difficult to argue that our way is better. I believe both nation's rank and file citizens are challenged to set aside our natural instinct to 'quietly play it safe', and find ways to impose 'rational and pragmatic', democratic and republican institutions of government on our respective corrupt 'oligopolies'. And given that in both countries, the respective 'Ministries of Truth' are either sycophants or subsidiaries of the governing class, our only chance of organizing change will require the intelligent exploitation of the global network. Bottom-line, our chances of turning the tide of what we're facing now are pretty bleak (IMHO).

Hannibal had lots of success that enraged any enemy to wipe him and his people off the face of the earth. 4. Alexander very successful however that very success led to his downfall and death of himself and his empire...Countless other examples in history as well as in business.

What we need to do is to send them to China to live for 10 years under the CCP rule, I will see if they can do their analyses totally ignoring the fundamental difference between a socialist/communists country to the free world. Graham seems to stand on a higher ground to look at the crash of civilizations, but he failed to recognize that the conflict between the CCP and the free world is the conflict of civilization and anti-civilization, there is no win-win, there is only “win-lose”. Chairman Mao has spelt this out long ago, and Graham Alison should read Chairman Mao’s little red book before he wrote his own.

He's talking like the fundamental conflict between China & the US is about difference in Value. While what's really happening has nothing to do "individual liberty vs. order". It's all about POWER. Besides, please stop saying that the fundamental value of the west is "individual liberty" - for that's just merely a by-product of unchallenged POWER in the past ~ well 500 years. Let's not be naive people. And the base Value of China is not Order, it's "development". American's have been enjoying their living standard for 50+ years, remember every country has a RIGHT to DEVELOP themselves. You Americans are not special. Because most country are still in development, order must be maintained. I hope that's not hard to understand. This historian talks a lot but he understands NOTHING.
