Hello, I've been watching many videos about China. In Short- China is corrupt from top to bottom. From everyone ripping off each other off, stealing, polluted water, Tofu-Dreg everywhere, social unrest and economic decline to population loss. China is headed to collapse and revolution. How this will play out geopolitically is uncertain. I just found you so I'll be subscribing and checking out your videos. Do more videos on China if you see fit . Thanks.

honestly its just the west being dellusional, the rest of the world will continue to globalise and trade regardless of the economic suicide the US and EU is committing. just because we are not "highlighted" in the map, doesn't mean we don't exist. the west continuing to treat us as if we don't exist, forces us to trade with the only side that treat us as if we exist... surely you can see that?

yeah, well, even interests are not permanent 😜

As a certain bearded Florida Man put it, "Countries don't have friends, they have interests."

İnterests = oil😂

There is a big flaw in the video. I stop watching after that. The standard narrative is that the "west" is trying to make the world be more equal economically in the liberalization era. This cannot be further from the truth. The west have in mind what global trade is suppose to be: 1. Trade between nations is done by "western firms", the main actors. 2. The high value added industries are in the west, while low skill, low tech, and resource extraction is done in the rest. 3. Cheap production base for western firms, and cheap goods for western consumers. This is very hard to accept if you are China, or Russia and any developing economies. Why is it that they have to always occupt the lower end of the value chain? Most countries have higher aspiration than being factory workers, and producing cheap goods. China has been doing this for decades, but they now want to start making higher value goods, and this scared the west. This is why we have a trade war.

@@MarketsDriveTheWorld I hate the term "the west" it is an euphemism for America and his vassal states. And America is a big bully that tries to control what everyone else does. It is not that America don't want to trade with Iran (and about 100 other nations), it is that he tries to prevent them from trading with anyone, to lay siege to their economy, which he have until now been able to due to his exorbitant privilege, of having what we call the world reserve currency. It have actually only existed since 1971 and was a pyramid scheme / ponzi scheme / racket from its inception. it replaced an older system called Breton Woods (1944-1971) in which he also played a central role but in one where he promised to redeem dollars for gold at a fixed price which kept prices and exhange rates relativly stable in the period. before that if we go back we had an increasingly better gold standard

Do you mean less capital movements?

The US could easily end up near shoring formerly Chinese manufacturing from Mexico. There is some open ground for labor but the owners of capital will always go for the lowest cost labor available.

@@TheGroovyJones There isn't a ton of cheap labor left in the world to near shore. Yeah, Mexico is cheaper, but surprisingly not a cheaper than America, and if we nearshored even half of our imports from China to Latin America, it would probably end up making the US even more cost-competitive. Cost of labor per hour really isn't the only factor. There are also things like labor output per hour (quite high in America), energy costs, land costs, regulatory costs, political risks, etc. Mexico more cost-competitive than America for some things, but not by a lot, and in the last decade, America was actually the most competitive economy globally for most economic activity.

I dipends where you live. In China or Eastern Europe, less export is a bad thing for workers.

I wanted to hear more about the impacts on the US economy and the ideas of “friend-shoring” advocated for by the New Idealist school of geopolitics. I.e. - if allies are too dependent on geopolitical rivals (Germany to China and Russia), then countries like Canada might weaken some of their regulatory barriers to some activities/raw materials specifically for those allies in order to ween them off of rivals. That would reorient trade, not necessarily reduce it, and concentrate additional wealth in new/unexpected places. Also, growth in the Global South is still possible while decoupling from China, and that is precisely the area going through the demographic explosion while China/Russia are dramatically declining in population.

Because the Axis were always Authoritarian states and the Allies Liberal nations. Same is true today.

Remember Bush's Axis of Evil? Calling anyone "Axis" today is an attempy to conjuring up image of Axis in WW2. Calling Russia and China Axis is obviously not a coincidence which is funny as they fought the hardest and suffered the most lost in WW2 while the 3 Axis powers in WW2 are labeled "Allies".

@@MoneyMacro They could be called Comrades (or, yes, BRICS). Axis is a name associated with Nazis and Bush W's genius ideas of going into Iraq to hunt for WMD. Perhaps, since neo-Nazi elements have been active in a certain Western-sponsored state (referred to as "democratic"), and the fact that von Braun as well as other WW2 Nazis were welcomed into the US with open arms, the term "Axis" might be applied to the Western block, as it is right now, with its idea of expanding NATO membership and spreading LGBTQ & feminist ideology. But hey, your trolling was good, kudos.

​@@JosephSolisAlcaydeAlberici Pretty sure the Philipines see more trade and investment with China, let alone ASEAN, than the US.

"Many people claim it was completely laissez faire and the government played no role" Well, we know this wasn't the case because the US allowed for slavery which was enforced through the government. With the 3/5ths compromise, that gave agrarian slave states like Virginia more sway in government policies than it otherwise would have. Then we have the Civil War with the industrialization being a key benefit in the North, with Lincoln starting the Trans-Continental Railroad during the war. Obviously, those rails would be placed around the more populous industrial centers, giving them an edge compared to less populated areas. It would be ignorant to say "Government played no role" because this was such a huge investment for infrastructure, directly benefiting some more than others. The question that would be curious to ask is not "Did government play a role?" but "How much of a role did it play?".

I know it can have negative connotations. But, to my knowledge the name is neutral and refers to a geographic axis (originally the Italy Germany axis).

@@MoneyMacro Yeeeah... unfortunately its actually well known use in such contexts was initially coined as an 'axis of facism', and has been used quite often, loudly, and publically in the form 'axis of evil'. As a name for an alliance of nations it was never neutral. At it's most neutral it was explicitly a term used by facist leaders/propaganda to refer to the alliance of Italy and Germany in ww2. it's only got worse from there. It's reasonably neutral in general, as a description, right up until you use it as a Name for an alliance (or something vaguely alliance-looking) of nations opposing a seemingly-unified '"West' plus friends", at which point the neutrality goes right out the window, at least to most English speakers because it is automatically and immediately associated with Nazi Germany. The joys of language and propaganda.

@@MoneyMacro lol, you very well know what you did, don't try to gaslight people... Claiming that axis has neutral connotations is ridiculous. And no, it is not a name that was used in a far-gone, removed conflict. Everyone knows the implication of calling axis and allies (which very clearly has a positive implication, even taking out WWII context) to each block. And then if you take into account that every major axis power is in your "allies" block, and the two countries that suffered the most (china and ussr) against axis countries are placed into the "axis" camp, then it becomes even more ridiculous. At least if you had named it the other way around you would have had some ground to defend the naming... But I guess then the propaganda goal wouldn't have been fulfilled.

​​​​​​@@MoneyMacroPlease remeber to sleep longer than normal if you were awake for longer than normal. Dont sleep for only 8 hours if you were awake for 24. I find this to be the dominant impactor of how much your sleep negetively impacts you. With regularity and interuption being below it in importance. Humans can learn to handle long days very well if they get an equivelent amount of sleep. I myself for almost a year did 30-35 hours awake "days"(compared to the typical of 16-17 hours awake days) and you can feel and look fine if you sleep hours reletive on your time awake. Note that aspects of your eating is also important. Whether your fasting or running on a recent meal can drasticly change how your body feels about long days. Smaller more frequent meals make longer days drastically more easy than big meals. Especially when you dont eat extra times if you are awake for extra time. Which you commonly see with people who have designated 2-3 meals a day that ignore how long they have been awake for. And lastly if you are having a long day try to isolate yourself from the sun. Its easier to feel ok with a long day disconnected from sunrises and sunsets.

I'd argue that it's worse, since the costs of raw materials will skyrocket. Maybe the cost of borrowing from high interest rates will bring demand and therefore prices down, but that may only benefit those who can afford the higher repayments.

Yeah, very much like protectionism for housing. Industry is a different thing. Opposed there. We have all been suffering from too many people. The demographic effects of good medicine, and rural to urban shifts are done. Jobs being bad is fixing itself, assuming AI doesn't screw it up.

If we take 2017 as a turning point where the U.S started to move away from policies promoting globalization and free trade. From then to the present day the U.S economy hasn't particularly suffered with solid job creation and strong wage growth even with Covid disrupting everything. Add in what the EU is doing post-Covid and their economies aren't doing half bad (relatively) as well, even with energy supplies cut. That's not a causal effect of course but it is an open question whether promoting unrestricted free trade really benefits *developed* countries by making the proverbial pie bigger, or does it just open up the pie to be taken by developing countries instead.

You can disagree with policies and wars (I do all the time), but mixing up terminology like this is really "evil" in its own right. An economics' professor should have some basic knowledge of history, no? Or at least he should inform himself better. And why is India not included in the "BRICS/Axis" of his? for the I in Brics IS India!

@@joepvandijk7949 Literally put the 3 major axis powers in the "Allies" and the two hardest hit countries by Germany and Japan in the "Axis". Western propaganda gets such a free pass it would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

For real. I don't see the "Axis" side in this video inviting Nazi SS veteran to their government hall and give him standing applaud.

@@MGZetta But I do see one nation in the axis (Russia) who not only defended nazi Germany, is also using their execuses for the same acts (war and territorial conquest). Overall, most countries marked with the axis are dictatorships and mostly fascist states to

@@joaquimbarbosa896 Russia killed 80% of the Nazi army. You need to try harder, lil bro.

@@MGZetta Omg...That doesn't even change anything I said... Also no, they fought aproximatly 2/3's (wich is less then 80%...), but that was for exemple with gigantic american assistence in giving equipment. Not only that, the atacks on NA also made it a lot harder for nazi Germany to get fuel and resources for its army, wich really helped the soviets. As a plus, the british fought a good part of the german airforce wich was a crucial part of german military strategy. Stalin himself said he wouldn't have won without american help... So you try a litle harder and also try to get on topic because again, none of this changes the original comment

@@joaquimbarbosa896 "gigantic american assistence" bruh, all of their "assistance" add up to a monetary value of a year of Russian defense budget in PEACE TIME. lmao. Talk about over valuing your worthless rotten canned food while trying to down play an army destroyed 80% of nazis. only million nazis held the entire western front while 8 million nazis getting rolled over in the east. learn history, before you start talking.

They are under chinese control now.

He uses modern maps for all of those. Just don’t take those maps too seriously

And the "allies" have all major axis powers (italy, germany, japan).

@@asier_getxo Wich are now democracies...? Meanwhile previously allies Russia and China are now dictatorships for exemple. Its almost as if the video isn't trying to show WW2 data but instead making an oversimplistic representation of "good and bad" guys...

@@joaquimbarbosa896 yes ofc it's propaganda. First, I will never call liberal democracies a democracy, just as the founding fathers didn't want to. Second, it's not like if the allies / axis were a division between democracy and dictatorship.

@@joaquimbarbosa896 if you think Russia and China are dictatorships then USA is a terrorist organization, we can play this game. If you think USA is "good guys" i really feel sorry for you

@@joaquimbarbosa896 And what? At that time, they were also not very democratic, but the fascists killed 60 million people in these two countries alone, while their populations fought for the freedom of their country from the fascist invaders. The same “democracies” gave civil rights to the black population just 50 years ago, colonized peoples 100 years ago, and engaged in the slave trade 200 years ago. Racists and fascists are also products of these democracies; how long have they become a moral beacon and standard?

Ever heard of the Cold War? Italy also once was Rome who dominated the Mediterranean. Those times are over which is why we don’t call Egypt Roman either. And the point is that the Allie’s are United in a fight while axis is more of a loose bunch of inside focused nations. China and Russia a well as the entire BRICS bloc isn’t allied with its partners in the sense e.g. NATO is, it’s more of a very general and loose interconnectivity

@@ja_u you mean the war where American want World Dominance so it cranked out a bunch of propaganda telling us "communism is bad" How's your housing bubble these day?

Yet another Russian bot

@@queenvrook How? Russia is a bad country like the USA. US corporate success has largely been from government funding and military imposition on the global south. Colonialists countries like the USA and Russia are oppressive and the enemy. I’m actually from the global south. Are you?

World change

@@mrsupremegascon So 2 of the biggest socialist nations are the new Axis while the country with the senator that ask every Asian "Are you Chinese?" is the new Allied. Interesting how the terms switched meaning

@@Peizxcv Exactly as the 40s axis were also socialists. Plus USSR was kinda part of the axis also, before they got attacked by Germany, they allied with them, invaded Poland together with them. Russians love to forget about that. And chinese were funded by the Nazis. That's why many Chinese soldiers in the 40s were using German gears. So no, it never changed meaning. Those 2 countries always were bullies.

Western-centric world view. They control the narrative. And narrative is half the battle.

@@mrsupremegasconyou want to imagine that the Empire of Japan was a socialist nation? That's cute...

I'm sure they look back in the same way. Remember there is a lot of propaganda from both sides between your view and reality of those countries. Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems.

China is the biggest global economy by PPP stats.

The real adversaries of the West in the coming century are China, India, Russia, Turkey, Iran, Nigeria, Kenya, and the Arab world.

Leaving aside the connotation of the "axis", which may be neural but usually is not, I think this is a major flaw in such researches. There's no just two sides, and Allies here, while vulnerable from the situation, are much more untied than BRICS/Axis/south you name it. Interests of China, Russia, India, South America and South Africa are very very different. To the point that they will have issues cooperating, they already do. Russia can't strike good deals with China, India maximizing on profits but doesn't distance themselves from us or eu, a lot of movements happening there in general, not all of the counties that are supposed to benefit see this dynamics of fragmentation as positive. While indeed it's a sign of fragmentation, it's not homogenous.
