In the last 30 years, China took its population out of poverty and penury to a majority middle-class society. All this because of their leaderships focus on moving its people, population to prosperity and secure living. This should be Prime Directive of any country's leadership if they want to take their nation to greater heights.

Um you know I don't I think forced assimilation of Uyghurs is problem and it's rightly condemned. It's not genocide. If you want to see genocide, look at Gaza um you don't have to look very far. Nothing like that is going on in Xingjiang anyway we chose to put uh a human rights posture ahead of our own ability to install solar panels .... " @ Ambassador Chas Freeman, it is very disingenuous when you claimed there is "forced assimilation" in Xinjiang. If you really watched any videos made by western people who actually visit and roam around Xinjiang (I have watched plenty of them on this platform), you can see a lot of local residents speak Uyghur language as their first language. They don't even speak much of Mandarin, though they might be able to get by with simple things and simple transactions in Mandarin. If they are really "forced to assimilate," surely they would have acquired much better proficiency in Mandarin. Besides all the students in Xinjiang are taught Uyghur language and Mandarin side by side. You should pay a personal visit and tour around Xinjiang yourself before you make any assertion such as "forced assimilation," especially considering your stature and credibility if they were worthy of being cherished.

Given sufficient time America is likely to be defeated due to China’s greater manufacture of the modern weapons of war that the country perceives as necessary for its self defense.

NOTHING IS/WAS AS IT SEEMS: A GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS, PART I *His "service to king and country" around the year 1900 came with a price tag: The end of his beloved Empire a generation after he died.* Long before WW2, an elitist club of insider London lords he served, had set off to set Europe up for failure. And they repeated it TWICE. London was always going to oppose the strongest continental country/power/alliance, as a default setting, and as a matter of policy. No feelings or opinions were involved in this decision by a few London lords. Ever since the establishment of her Empire, London aimed to expand and protect it by (as a matter policy), making the strongest continental power/alliance the rival in peace/enemy in war. By own admission: "The equilibrium established by such a grouping of forces is technically known as the balance of power, and it has become almost an historical truism to identify England’s secular policy with the maintenance of this balance by throwing her weight now in this scale and now in that, but ever on the side, opposed to the political dictatorship of the strongest single, State or group at any time." [From Primary source material: Memorandum on the Present State of British Relations with France and Germany] *In a nutshell, oppose every major diplomatic advance made by the strongest continental power in times of peace, and ally against it in times of war. An own policy standpoint (Splendid isolation) meant that London shied away from making binding commitments with continental powers. London made temporary best friends to temporarily use and abuse, not lasting alliances.* The own historical policy standpoint resulted in the eternal motivation to set continental powers up against each other, in a bid to sit on the fence and eat popcorn when the shtf... In case of differences? Pick the side *against* the strongest power. In case of war? Oppose the power (alliance) most likely to win. That is how the lords "played". Under a thin veneer of civility and diplomacy and protected by the English Channel (geography) an army of apologists (weak minds) right through to today, and this system persists to today: only the players and dividers sit elsewhere. After WW1 (Versailles, St. Germaine, etc.) the lords set off on the same path: divide and rule. Set up Hungarians against Czechs, set up Austrians against Czechs, set up the Poles against the Russians and Germans (see Limitrophe States). Create just enough peace for a short-term advantage. *Just enough dissatisfaction to cause eternal strife...divide and rule. Bring in a few others to gather around the round table (Paris), so you can pass the buck around if things go predictably wrong. When things go wrong: blame everybody else...* Drawing lines on the map, not only in Europe but all around the world, divide and rule. Imposing on many millions, and give power to a few betas. Divide and rule... Separating entire families. Divide and rule. Separating companies from their markets. Divide and rule... Taking from some without asking. Giving to others, without consent. These are the tools of divide and rule. *Never a price tag for own actions and inaction...* Right? WRONG. *The price tag is you, the reader of this essay.* How do I, the originator of this essay, know this? Because if you are reading this, you do not belong to the "benefactor class" which profits from every divide and rule setup ever created. *To avoid the dreary hassle of working to achieve a long-term stable Europe, the lords set of to look for "best fwiends" elsewhere...* "By 1901, many influential Britons advocated for a closer relationship between the two countries. W. T. Stead even proposed that year in The Americanization of the World *for both to merge to unify the English-speaking world, as doing so would help Britain "continue for all time to be an integral part of the greatest of all World-Powers, supreme on sea* and unassailable on land, permanently delivered from all fear of hostile attack, and capable of wielding irresistible influence in all parts of this planet." [Google: The_Great_Rapprochement] Sooooo gweat. Everybody "speaking English" and being "best fwiends" and ruling the world together as equals.... Right? WRONG After 1895, London snuggled up to the rising power USA, thinking such action would bring further easy victories, an expansion of own sphere of influence, while protecting their Empire: Meanwhile, dividing their neighbors on the continent as a policy standpoint. *What could possibly go wrong?* "At the end of the war [WW2], Britain, physically devastated and financially bankrupt, lacked factories to produce goods for rebuilding, the materials to rebuild the factories or purchase the machines to fill them, or with the money to pay for any of it. Britain’s situation was so dire, the government sent the economist John Maynard Keynes with a delegation to the US to beg for financial assistance, claiming that Britain was facing a *"financial Dunkirk”.* The Americans were willing to do so, on one condition: They would supply Britain with the financing, goods and materials to rebuild itself, but dictated that Britain must first eliminate those Sterling Balances by repudiating all its debts to its colonies. The alternative was to receive neither assistance nor credit from the US. *Britain, impoverished and in debt, with no natural resources and no credit or ability to pay, had little choice but to capitulate.* And of course with all receivables cancelled and since the US could produce today, those colonial nations had no further reason for refusing manufactured goods from the US. The strategy was successful. *By the time Britain rebuilt itself, the US had more or less captured all of Britain’s former colonial markets, and for some time after the war’s end the US was manufacturing more than 50% of everything produced in the world. And that was the end of the British Empire, and the beginning of the last stage of America’s rise."* [globalresearch(dot)ca/save-queen/5693500] *A "ring which ruled them all". Geography and power: The American Century. So they woke up one morning, only to discover that their "best fwiends forever" had stolen all their most profitable markets. No markets = no trade = no money = no power = no "Empire".* US President Adams said there are two ways to enslave a people: one is with invasion, the other way through debt. And endebt others, and enslave their thoughts, is what these overlords did best. They thought their American Century "best fwiends" would help out for free...TWICE. Right? WRONG... A minor detail the oh so honest lords forgot about, finally had an effect: *"Empires" don't have "friends".* Brits being squeezed like a lemon by US banks, having their Pound crushed by the US dominated IMF, being refused the mutually developed nukes to act as a deterrent against the SU's expansion, munching on war rations till way into the 1950s, losing the Suez Canal in a final attempt at "acting tough" and imposing hegemony over a vital sphere of interest...and going under...lol, "third fiddle" in the "Concerto de Cold War" in which Brits were then set up as tools to fight the new enemy... *Good ol' USA didn't have to invade GB in order to succeed London as the ruler of the world, and new premier divider, and then set up millions of Brits as buck catchers...* Washington DC needed a junior associate, not an equal partner. So Brits lost their Empire fighting their previous temporawy best friends the commies, now the new enemy as declared by Washington DC (Truman Doctrine). That's what happens if one has leaders that make the strongest continental power the enemy as a default setting. Hop over here for a "temporary best fwiend" this year, then hop over there for a "temporary best fwiend" the next. Hop, hop, hop...into extinction.

NOTHING IS/WAS AS IT SEEMS: A GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS, PART II The USA and divide Europe and rule the world.. From wiki, and regarding the theory: *"Divide and rule policy (Latin: divide et impera), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy."* Elements of this technique involve: - creating or encouraging divisions ... - to prevent alliances that could challenge ... - distributing forces that they overpower the other - aiding and promoting those who are willing to cooperate - fostering distrust and enmity *Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories."* [edited for clarity re. the states/empires level of things] Regarding in practice: After her defeat in 1871, and being isolated by all of her neighbors, France started gravitating towards Washington DC (as exemplified by the Statue of Liberty "gift to the American people"). Since the Franco-Prussian War had already removed the biggest obstacle to a French/US rapprochement, which was *Napoleon "meddle in Mexico" the III,* this war thereby inadvertently opened the door to better relations between Washington and Paris. Of course, the divider must be receptive to such advances. What was in it for Washington DC? Simple: After almost a century of British and French attempts of playing divide and rule/conquer in North America, trying to avoid a single hegemony here (Washington DC) to advance own interests at the expense of North American unity, it was now Washington DC's turn to start playing some division back at Europe... First tool to come swimming across the Atlantic, straight into the wide open loving tender arms of the eagerly awaiting American Internationalism? (soon to become the all-powerful American Century) Answer: Isolated France/Paris, in conflict or dissed by her neighbors. Who would have ever thought that dissing a neighbor could ever have consequences, of creating THE FAVORITE for a faraway empire, searching for tools and staging areas. Regarding this policy, it needs a keen sense of observation by a nation's leaders, so as not to inadvertently become a part of it. *"Defeat Them in Detail: The Divide and Conquer Strategy. Look at the parts and determine how to control the individual parts, create dissension and leverage it." - Robert Greene* And observe the details and leverage European dissent is what the American Internationalism fans did. *Where did these Internationalists suddenly appear from, at the same time the M-A-I-N reasons for WW1 crystalized on the other side of the pond?*

The Sino US diplomatic problems arises solely from the US money politics period. In the US the quickest way of making money is to be a lawyer first and then a politician. When you become a member of the government administration , your chance of becoming a millionaire is assured. The money comes from different ways and one way is via the Military Industrial Complex that can sell a small bag of bushings to Pentagon for 60000 USD whereas you can buy them from China for 10USD. The MIC earns money by making weapons at exorbitant prices and the politicians help them sell the weapons by creating enemies around the world. And the enemies are Russia, China, Iran, ISIS in Middle East countries, Argentina and Cuba, North Korea. These are permanent enemies created by the US as the evil countries that the US considered to be the aggressor to world peace and a threat to US allies. Such US policy has been in place for decades and will never change. The US politicians cannot make money if the world is at peace. Many rich politicians stay in power for decades and there is no term limit for them. It is all about money politics. They serve themselves first and foremost.

Seven years??? Have any of you ever heard of the CIA-backed attempted student-led color revolution that ended in a PLA crackdown in Tiananmen Square? That was all the way back in the early 1990s if my memory serves.... You think China just looked the other way on that? No. They did not. And I guess you don't remember in the year 2000 when that American AWACS plane was forced to land by the Chinese air force after they intentionally collided with it. The AWACS plane was turned inside out by Chinese technicians who likely learned most of America's CIC air superiority systems. The American crew was interrogated by the PLA and then released. In fact, under Clinton admin, America had more than one severe breach of trust with China most egregiously the deliberate bombing of the Chinese embassy in the former Yugoslavia. Your analysis is worthless and historically ignorant. The Chinese know full well they have no reason to trust Americans at all except for the purpose of acquiring technology and profit. Thank God they're so intelligent, and the American ruling class and liberal ideologues can feel some fear for a change instead of only making everyone else afraid. The Chinese have always known as soon as they become powerful enough, Americans would start to get uncomfortable. But that's okay. America is nothing but a consumer market anyway to the rest of the world which produces nothing of any lasting value.

Good talk by the ambassador and very informative. I think it’s not quite accurate to say that the Belt and Road failed without attributing to unfriendly factors deliberately wanting to spoil it. They started off by defaults being constantly contained and destabilising by forces intentionally wanting to achieved. Hence, right from the get go, they faced strong headwinds and when they plodded passed, they faced more being manufactured along the way to deny them success. With such formidable resistance and still they can reached the present stage is considered quite remarkable. China spent so much just to trade while what the US has done was only to disrupt, to deny and to destroy. I think for the Chinese effort, it was worth it as it provide the eco system to trade. But, is the US spending for negativity against humanity really worth the American taxes money?

57:21 china does not self claim that its systems, ideology or values are "superior", nor does it try to impose its system to the others, unlike the US and the west. we just think our systems are the best suited for china. it's totally different mindset, or shall we say "values"? 59:26 as chinese, i don't feel "suffocation of speech" here, and i don't think i feel the need to "walk in to xi jin ping and tell him that he is full of it", because i approve him and the policies, and the more i watch the the world affairs both domestically and international that are unfolding in front of our eyes, the more i agree, approve and highly appreciate these policies and his leadership since he took the job, just like the overwhelming majority of chinese people. so maybe it's because if china has a leader like biden, trump or so called "leaders" in EU instead of xi, then we will have reason to do these things, but no, we don't? thanks for caring for our "freedom" and "democracy", but no thanks, we enjoy our freedom and democracy, which are different than yours and work way better for us evidently. and by the way, before you trying to pass your judgment on to others, your should look at the mirror first, and be respectful and have manner when talking to other side, so both sides can conduct a civil conversation, but if you can't help it but to act rude and disrespectful, then the only respond you will get from me is "we are very busy, so pls mind your own business, and get lost".

[From Primary source material: Memorandum on the Present State of British Relations with France and Germany] *In a nutshell, oppose every major diplomatic advance made by the strongest continental power in times of peace, and ally against it in times of war. An own policy standpoint (Splendid isolation) meant that London shied away from making binding commitments with continental powers. London made temporary best friends to temporarily use and abuse, not lasting alliances.* The own historical policy standpoint resulted in the eternal motivation to set continental powers up against each other, in a bid to sit on the fence and eat popcorn when the shtf... In case of differences? Pick the side *against* the strongest power. In case of war? Oppose the power (alliance) most likely to win. That is how the lords "played". Under a thin veneer of civility and diplomacy and protected by the English Channel (geography) an army of apologists (weak minds) right through to today, and this system persists to today: only the players and dividers sit elsewhere. After WW1 (Versailles, St. Germaine, etc.) the lords set off on the same path: divide and rule. Set up Hungarians against Czechs, set up Austrians against Czechs, set up the Poles against the Russians and Germans (see Limitrophe States). Create just enough peace for a short-term advantage. *Just enough dissatisfaction to cause eternal strife...divide and rule. Bring in a few others to gather around the round table (Paris), so you can pass the buck around if things go predictably wrong. When things go wrong: blame everybody else...* Drawing lines on the map, not only in Europe but all around the world, divide and rule. Imposing on many millions, and give power to a few betas. Divide and rule... Separating entire families. Divide and rule. Separating companies from their markets. Divide and rule... Taking from some without asking. Giving to others, without consent. These are the tools of divide and rule. *Never a price tag for own actions and inaction...* Right? WRONG. *The price tag is you, the reader of this essay.* How do I, the originator of this essay, know this? Because if you are reading this, you do not belong to the "benefactor class" which profits from every divide and rule setup ever created. *To avoid the dreary hassle of working to achieve a long-term stable Europe, the lords set of to look for "best fwiends" elsewhere...* "By 1901, many influential Britons advocated for a closer relationship between the two countries. W. T. Stead even proposed that year in The Americanization of the World *for both to merge to unify the English-speaking world, as doing so would help Britain "continue for all time to be an integral part of the greatest of all World-Powers, supreme on sea* and unassailable on land, permanently delivered from all fear of hostile attack, and capable of wielding irresistible influence in all parts of this planet." [Google: The_Great_Rapprochement] Sooooo gweat. Everybody "speaking English" and being "best fwiends" and ruling the world together as equals.... Right? WRONG After 1895, London snuggled up to the rising power USA, thinking such action would bring further easy victories, an expansion of own sphere of influence, while protecting their Empire: Meanwhile, dividing their neighbors on the continent as a policy standpoint. *What could possibly go wrong?* "At the end of the war [WW2], Britain, physically devastated and financially bankrupt, lacked factories to produce goods for rebuilding, the materials to rebuild the factories or purchase the machines to fill them, or with the money to pay for any of it. Britain’s situation was so dire, the government sent the economist John Maynard Keynes with a delegation to the US to beg for financial assistance, claiming that Britain was facing a *"financial Dunkirk”.* The Americans were willing to do so, on one condition: They would supply Britain with the financing, goods and materials to rebuild itself, but dictated that Britain must first eliminate those Sterling Balances by repudiating all its debts to its colonies. The alternative was to receive neither assistance nor credit from the US. *Britain, impoverished and in debt, with no natural resources and no credit or ability to pay, had little choice but to capitulate.* And of course with all receivables cancelled and since the US could produce today, those colonial nations had no further reason for refusing manufactured goods from the US. The strategy was successful. *By the time Britain rebuilt itself, the US had more or less captured all of Britain’s former colonial markets, and for some time after the war’s end the US was manufacturing more than 50% of everything produced in the world. And that was the end of the British Empire, and the beginning of the last stage of America’s rise."* [globalresearch(dot)ca/save-queen/5693500] *A "ring which ruled them all". Geography and power: The American Century. So they woke up one morning, only to discover that their "best fwiends forever" had stolen all their most profitable markets. No markets = no trade = no money = no power = no "Empire".* US President Adams said there are two ways to enslave a people: one is with invasion, the other way through debt. And endebt others, and enslave their thoughts, is what these overlords did best. They thought their American Century "best fwiends" would help out for free...TWICE. Right? WRONG... A minor detail the oh so honest lords forgot about, finally had an effect: *"Empires" don't have "friends".* Brits being squeezed like a lemon by US banks, having their Pound crushed by the US dominated IMF, being refused the mutually developed nukes to act as a deterrent against the SU's expansion, munching on war rations till way into the 1950s, losing the Suez Canal in a final attempt at "acting tough" and imposing hegemony over a vital sphere of interest...and going under...lol, "third fiddle" in the "Concerto de Cold War" in which Brits were then set up as tools to fight the new enemy... *Good ol' USA didn't have to invade GB in order to succeed London as the ruler of the world, and new premier divider, and then set up millions of Brits as buck catchers...* Washington DC needed a junior associate, not an equal partner. So Brits lost their Empire fighting their previous temporawy best friends the commies, now the new enemy as declared by Washington DC (Truman Doctrine). That's what happens if one has leaders that make the strongest continental power the enemy as a default setting. Hop over here for a "temporary best fwiend" this year, then hop over there for a "temporary best fwiend" the next. Hop, hop, hop...into extinction.
NOTHING IS/WAS AS IT SEEMS: A GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS, PART II The USA and divide Europe and rule the world.. From wiki, and regarding the theory: *"Divide and rule policy (Latin: divide et impera), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy."* Elements of this technique involve: - creating or encouraging divisions ... - to prevent alliances that could challenge ... - distributing forces that they overpower the other - aiding and promoting those who are willing to cooperate - fostering distrust and enmity *Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories."* [edited for clarity re. the states/empires level of things] Regarding in practice: After her defeat in 1871, and being isolated by all of her neighbors, France started gravitating towards Washington DC (as exemplified by the Statue of Liberty "gift to the American people"). Since the Franco-Prussian War had already removed the biggest obstacle to a French/US rapprochement, which was *Napoleon "meddle in Mexico" the III,* this war thereby inadvertently opened the door to better relations between Washington and Paris. Of course, the divider must be receptive to such advances. What was in it for Washington DC? Simple: After almost a century of British and French attempts of playing divide and rule/conquer in North America, trying to avoid a single hegemony here (Washington DC) to advance own interests at the expense of North American unity, it was now Washington DC's turn to start playing some division back at Europe... First tool to come swimming across the Atlantic, straight into the wide open loving tender arms of the eagerly awaiting American Internationalism? (soon to become the all-powerful American Century) Answer: Isolated France/Paris, in conflict or dissed by her neighbors. Who would have ever thought that dissing a neighbor could ever have consequences, of creating THE FAVORITE for a faraway empire, searching for tools and staging areas. Regarding this policy, it needs a keen sense of observation by a nation's leaders, so as not to inadvertently become a part of it. *"Defeat Them in Detail: The Divide and Conquer Strategy. Look at the parts and determine how to control the individual parts, create dissension and leverage it." - Robert Greene* And observe the details and leverage European dissent is what the American Internationalism fans did. *Where did these Internationalists suddenly appear from, at the same time the M-A-I-N reasons for WW1 crystalized on the other side of the pond?*
Great teacher
why can't we have more gentleman like this for USA? Brilliant
The Sino US diplomatic problems arises solely from the US money politics period. In the US the quickest way of making money is to be a lawyer first and then a politician. When you become a member of the government administration , your chance of becoming a millionaire is assured. The money comes from different ways and one way is via the Military Industrial Complex that can sell a small bag of bushings to Pentagon for 60000 USD whereas you can buy them from China for 10USD. The MIC earns money by making weapons at exorbitant prices and the politicians help them sell the weapons by creating enemies around the world. And the enemies are Russia, China, Iran, ISIS in Middle East countries, Argentina and Cuba, North Korea. These are permanent enemies created by the US as the evil countries that the US considered to be the aggressor to world peace and a threat to US allies. Such US policy has been in place for decades and will never change. The US politicians cannot make money if the world is at peace. Many rich politicians stay in power for decades and there is no term limit for them. It is all about money politics. They serve themselves first and foremost.
Seven years??? Have any of you ever heard of the CIA-backed attempted student-led color revolution that ended in a PLA crackdown in Tiananmen Square? That was all the way back in the early 1990s if my memory serves.... You think China just looked the other way on that? No. They did not. And I guess you don't remember in the year 2000 when that American AWACS plane was forced to land by the Chinese air force after they intentionally collided with it. The AWACS plane was turned inside out by Chinese technicians who likely learned most of America's CIC air superiority systems. The American crew was interrogated by the PLA and then released. In fact, under Clinton admin, America had more than one severe breach of trust with China most egregiously the deliberate bombing of the Chinese embassy in the former Yugoslavia. Your analysis is worthless and historically ignorant. The Chinese know full well they have no reason to trust Americans at all except for the purpose of acquiring technology and profit. Thank God they're so intelligent, and the American ruling class and liberal ideologues can feel some fear for a change instead of only making everyone else afraid. The Chinese have always known as soon as they become powerful enough, Americans would start to get uncomfortable. But that's okay. America is nothing but a consumer market anyway to the rest of the world which produces nothing of any lasting value.
First US "color revolution" was an effort to split up the Holy Roman Empire, just after they became independent. Do you wish more info? Please reply. Cheers...
Amazing resume about the current status of the world
U.S. Forced Out Of Second African Nation, Dealing Another Blow To National Security Under Biden, meantime welcome China
Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported a $1.3 billion loss, amounting to a $132,000 loss per electric vehicle sold during the first three months of the year, CNN reported.
China's non-interference directive of others....
It is so obvious that the US is blaming China for Biden's incompetence. So don't blame Biden. Blame China. Blame Putin. Blame anyone but not Biden.
Henry Kissinger Quote: “To be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.”
Chas is a genius, he can pick up a language easily. Magna Cum Laude, man with wisdom!!!
Good talk by the ambassador and very informative. I think it’s not quite accurate to say that the Belt and Road failed without attributing to unfriendly factors deliberately wanting to spoil it. They started off by defaults being constantly contained and destabilising by forces intentionally wanting to achieved. Hence, right from the get go, they faced strong headwinds and when they plodded passed, they faced more being manufactured along the way to deny them success. With such formidable resistance and still they can reached the present stage is considered quite remarkable. China spent so much just to trade while what the US has done was only to disrupt, to deny and to destroy. I think for the Chinese effort, it was worth it as it provide the eco system to trade. But, is the US spending for negativity against humanity really worth the American taxes money?
57:21 china does not self claim that its systems, ideology or values are "superior", nor does it try to impose its system to the others, unlike the US and the west. we just think our systems are the best suited for china. it's totally different mindset, or shall we say "values"? 59:26 as chinese, i don't feel "suffocation of speech" here, and i don't think i feel the need to "walk in to xi jin ping and tell him that he is full of it", because i approve him and the policies, and the more i watch the the world affairs both domestically and international that are unfolding in front of our eyes, the more i agree, approve and highly appreciate these policies and his leadership since he took the job, just like the overwhelming majority of chinese people. so maybe it's because if china has a leader like biden, trump or so called "leaders" in EU instead of xi, then we will have reason to do these things, but no, we don't? thanks for caring for our "freedom" and "democracy", but no thanks, we enjoy our freedom and democracy, which are different than yours and work way better for us evidently. and by the way, before you trying to pass your judgment on to others, your should look at the mirror first, and be respectful and have manner when talking to other side, so both sides can conduct a civil conversation, but if you can't help it but to act rude and disrespectful, then the only respond you will get from me is "we are very busy, so pls mind your own business, and get lost".
Amb. Freeman has a very good heart and smart American. But unfortunately most American politician have no brain at all, including the presidents of America. Love America.
I have to listen to this talk twice for its wisdom to sink in. US and humanity could only benefit if only this American with encyclopedia knowledge could be listened to more by the ruling elites. I could only pray for humanity that his wisdom will catch on.
If the US has this type of elites in the leadership China will be in trouble. Luckily for China truth doesn't sell but propaganda does in the US. I am keeping Chinese data too and find the facts presented stunningly accurate. However most Americans would rather die than to accept the truth.
If only people like Chase Freeman were in charge or our future!! thanks for an excellent interview.
