Thanks Greg Poling, expert from CSIS for the interview on this topic: www.csis.org/people/gregory-b...
The US military is planning to have a transformative year in the Pacific. To them, that means militarizing the region. More ships, more planes, more troops, more missiles, and more agreements with allies - all aimed at containing China and their ambitions of power.

you still need to give someone something if you're selling it to them. I think the way it was phrased in the video was to signify how incredible it is that the USA is handing over top secret technology to Australia. Its an extremely landmark piece of history that the USA is "freely" supplying technology for the Australian Navy to use as they see fit. It wasn't '"free", but it was "given freely"; as in there are no strings attached and we fully own and operate these subs ourselves.

BRICS wants to build a new currency. It is also worth noting that gold has historically been used as a store of value and a means of exchange, and some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their reserves. However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subject to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.

@cythiahan8455 8 ай бұрын

It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for everyone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decision.

@MarkFreeman-xi3rk 8 ай бұрын

Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you.

Hey Johnny, just a slight correction. The Philippines is not claiming that certain areas of the South China Sea are Philippine territorial waters. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which the Philippines is a signatory to, a country can only claim up to 12 nautical miles from its baselines as its territorial waters. However, the UNCLOS also provides that the distance from 12 nautical miles, up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline is the Exclusive Economic Zone. This is the portion which the Philippines calls the West Philippine Sea. This was affirmed in 2016 by a ruling by an Arbitral Tribunal constituted under the UNCLOS which ruled in favor of the Philippines against China. The same ruling also held that the nine-dash line claimed by China does not have any basis in international law. Not surprisingly, China does not honor this ruling. The US also is not able to completely support the ruling because it is not a signatory to the UNCLOS. As a result, China's Coast Guard regularly harass Filipino fishermen peacefully fishing in our exclusive economic zone. There was even one incident where a Chinese Coast Guard ship rammed into a Filipino fishing vessel and left the crew floating in the sea. As for the training of the US and Philippine militaries, the most recent Balikatan (which is the Filipino term meaning "shoulder-to-shoulder") Exercises held just this year simulated live fire exercises at sea, including drone shoot downs and targeting and sinking a ship at sea, off of Palawan island. Pretty strong signals to China, I think.

Should they just put up with China's constant bullying ... taking whatever territory/resources it wants? Those tiny nations need a big brother as an ally to go against the bully in their neighborhood. As a Filipino, I'd rather speak English than Chinese.

@@naniabswax1680 If the Philippines were to become one of its own provinces unilaterally by a certain country someday in the future, I don't think Filipinos would be happy either. Instead of playing word games with a vague so-called "bullying", they would focus more on aggressive military bases of a certain country.

@naniabswax1680 5 ай бұрын

@@ABb-eu1jk Since 1898 to 2016, there has been a Philippine movement for US statehood in one form or another. The US did not take it seriously nor did the majority of the Philippine populace. I was not advocating for statehood. Not even for becoming a US territory. Do you think, say, Indonesia will want to be a US state or territory? No? Then why would you think the Philippines will? Calling China a bully is just playing a word game? "Bullying is the use of force, coercion, hurtful teasing or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception (by the bully or by others) of an imbalance of physical or social power. This imbalance distinguishes bullying from conflict. Bullying is a subcategory of aggressive behavior characterized by hostile intent, imbalance of power and repetition over a period of time." (Wikipedia on Bullying) Ermmm. So what do you call the actions of humongous China (which is economically and militarily superior) to continuously intimidate, harass and encroach on the territory of tiny Philippines? If that is not bullying, I don't know what is.

It should be noted that escalation has already happened: when China started dredging and built up military bases in the South China sea in 2014. They completed the first military runway in 2015. This isn't a he said she said situation. In this case, China said it loud and clear and the surrounding countries are just responding. I also distinctly remember the Philippines voicing insecurity over the Mutual Defense Treaty with the USA when they asked for help then and only got platitudes. of ambiguity. Amidst all the inevitable both sides-ism framing, the countries requesting this type of escalations are being requested by the actual countries being affected. The USA, ever the opportunist, is happy to oblige as well as the partner countries requesting aid. The degree of bullying that China has been doing in the region is not Uncle Sam's doing. Indeed, there were actually signs that the USA was pulling away back in the 2010s.

British with Hong Kong, Portuguese with Macau, etc. The spratly islands and similar was a brilliant move by them to counter US aggression in those areas to avoid being choked such as how this video laid out Japan's moves to contain China (orchestrated by the US of course).

The US government didn’t sell the country’s production capabilities to the Chinese government. US companies moved manufacturing to China because of cheaper labor and looser labor laws. It was cheaper to produce goods in China and ship them to the US. On top of that the US is still the second largest manufacturer in the world. China makes 20% of the world’s manufactured goods and the US makes 18%.

It's very clear where all of this is headed, and sometimes when you try to explain it to someone, choosing the right words without sounding like an extremist or an alarmist, is difficult. This video does a wonderful job at making it extra crisp, clear and easy to understand. Great work man, you and your team are worth the views! Congratulations and thank you again.
