The UK regime doesn’t even recognize Taiwhaaan as an independent country 😂

Taiwan is learning more than anyone

UK have a lot to worry about things internally that has nothing to do with china like cost of living and soaring electricity prices.

Accidentally :))) lmao, The Telegraph becoming more and more a comedy channel, the should rename themselves to "The Royal Comedy" 🤣

Propaganda has never been this obvious 😂

The Telegraph never ceases to smash my lowest expectations. "Useful idiot" was a *propaganda* term used during the cold war to smear activists, journalists, writers, etc., who deviated from the political status quo.

How to inoculate against bad behaviour, Beijing has long learned from the US.

One huge difference is that the US has said that it will defend Taiwan. It won't be sanctions. Whatever the truth of that, China has to consider the possibility of direct conflict with the US.

Was the bombing of that embassy an accident?

Accidentally? lol

Its a very very complicated strategy called 'keep your industrial base'

Yes they are .. just like the USA prooved how they can envade afganistan irak and all the middle east

😂😂😂 UK being US lapdog/probably US vassal taking order's directly from Washington. Calling othera Useful idiots??

😂😂😂😂 lies, propaganda from the telegraph

Dominic is so intelligent and on-the-ball it hurts!

French and Radio Free Asia are two different stations yet serves and condones the same propaganda...

Civil war broke out in UK already 😂😂😂😂

Wow this was really biased. Even when he talks about how much gold has China bought, and not mentioning it’s still about 1/4 of US and behind the likes of Germany, France and even Italy. This guy is useful indeed

this video is capitalist propaganda

Yes.

Ukraine and Taiwan are fundamentally different situations. EU+UK reacted dramatically over war in Ukraine because of the potential of a "Hot War" on their doorsteps. Taiwan ... is not close geographically to any Western countries. One thing Xi learned from Ukraine is that Western Sanctions don't really work economically from domestic availability point of view (international banking and transfers yes, but resources no). Western allies have resisted any troop involvement in Ukraine, and it is extremely unlikely they would get involved in Taiwan. Taiwan is also about 1/20 size of Ukraine (actually only about 25% larger than Crimea). Xi knows he is playing with almost a full hand when it comes to Taiwan.

Uk cant produce a single tank, yet barks louder than everyone lmao.

Accidentally? 😅😅… REMEMBER BELGRADE!!! 👊🏻

NATO can't win a war. International community. 😂😂😂 70% of world doesn't even know Ukraine exist 😂😂😂😂

the levels of irony here are surreal

Not so subtle propaganda

Europe is going down.

More crying 😂😂

Price worthy series! Greetings from Germany.

Love your work Sir. Always outstanding 👍

ROC recognizes Taiwan is China and PRC recognizes Taiwan as China. The only people that don't appears to be western colonialists of the new and old worlds.

i love how Putin is mocked using words in a very sly way 🙂

😂 😂😂 Chest Pains Chest Pains 😭😂😂😂

US was also “forced” to invade various nations…🤣🤣

What happened to real journalism in the west.

Poor Francis Dearnley - the hazing continues at 1:01. Come on Team Dearnley!😊

Ten minutes of total conjecture

"The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on" its about pathetic England

Pure propaganda from the Daily Telegraph. 👆 trash journalism

8:31 did she just admit that Ukraine is fighting for the collective west 😬

Wars and gold…such an awful combination.

Kinda liberating that even westners now begin to understand that they can not lecture others on anything, yet alone morality! They are now trying really hard to seem kinda logical, but deep down they know that 80% of the world think otherwise and that they are not the center of the universe anymore. Hilarious

Rather too many unstated assumptions here. First, the USA recognises that Taiwan is part of China yet all the talk is of Chinese aggression and essentially yellow peril rhetoric. As for Russia’s useful idiots, the problem here is that these people (Mearsheiner etc) predicted the Russian aggression back in 2008- which Georgia soon discovered. NATO allowed itself to become an evangelical force pushing liberal democracy rather than sticking to defending its members. Putin has of course overreacted but even an overreaction requires a provocation yet there is no acknowledgement of this in the video.

"Claiming land that does not belong to them". Where exactly did the USA and Israel come from if they were not carved out of other peoples land. Is the Telegraph not such a useful idiot spouting such hubris and hypocrisy? “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.” Athenians telling the Melians.

hypocrisy

Is U.S. proving form past until today how Russia can win Ukraine today? Ha , ha.

I love Doms humour!

Very interesting. I would love to hear your thoughts on elite capture.

The Chinese company CATL are producing a battery not in the future but right now that is going to change the world. They have already run tests on commercial airliners...yes battery powered airliners.

😂

eyy Domingo 🤙🤙

Hahahaha this propaganda might work in 1960. Now it just a comedy

What are the best responses to the statements "the war was only started because of nato expansion" and "Ukraine isn't a real country anyways"?

Yes

👍👍👍

At least he's not pretending to be a journalist.

Slava Ukraine ❤️

Ukraine also has to lowered the age of the draft.

🇨🇳🇷🇺🇨🇳🇷🇺

Favourite show on internet👍🏋️‍♀️🇳🇿

Most politically motivated media analysis I have seen Expected better from u guys Tough surely can see ur frustration from the results in ukraine😂

China will eventually reunify with Taiwan usimg the Hong Kong model of administration, gradually moving towards just being a part of China. No military actions are necessary. China already has more than half their trade. China could blockade the Island as a last resort.

Good coverage and update - Thanks.

The telegraph is funded by kgb ccp fbi

"Useful idiot" is actually a term that Stalin himself coined to describe Western leftists who ignored his atrocities - the Holodomor, the Show Trials, the Great Terror - in the 1930's.

😴😴😴

China is elephant not tiger , if not attack Taiwan now while Russia fight NATO , and palestenian are attacked in rafah by usa support , so , it will never the elephant will move forward

Yawn

Thanks. !!

Yes, by showing that all those expensive NATO weapons are dog isht....

Tucker Carlson.

BZ Dom👍 That’s navy speak for well done mate 👌

Thanks, Dom! Incisive as always.

Let’s not forget that China and Russia were holding joint military operations when they announced their “no-limit partnership” - just days before the invasion. I think the plan was for putin to quickly take Ukraine and then xi would quickly take Taiwan. The world got very lucky that this didn’t happen because Xi and Putin would have become exponentially more powerful had Ukraine not been such a smart and tough country 🇺🇦💪🙏🫶🇺🇸

To call someone who has won 20% of another country's land idiot is delusional.

Excellent analysis, thanks!

I notice the orcs got here early lol

This video is a joke...

Big difference between boycotting Russian energy, which the west needs, and boycotting the manufactured goods of China, an industrial competitor. If China attacks Taiwan they can expect their exports to come to a screeching halt causing an economic collapse.

Nice one Dom.

Fair and Balanced. :D

😮😮😮

first comment

This is just one reason why the good guys mustn't let Russia win in Ukraine. And it really is a case of "let".

Beware of Putin rent boys crying in the comments.

Very good report!

could have been good video the script is awful

Ji would want to keep his Taiwan ambitions local? Then why is he beating the drum of grievance politics like Moskow? The big bad world has contained China's greatness, he needs to end the century of "China's humiliation", and more such nonsense.

What!?

🤣poor Francise

UKRAINES WINNING!! 😂 Z!

I often wonder how much these foolish people in the comments need to see before they start to question their beliefs on great Putin is.

😂😂😂 to much propaganda

Omg watch all these pro chinese, pro ruski bots 😂😂😂

I see the Russian bots are quite active in the comments. Slava Ukraini!

What bizarre, inane commentary "China casts a hungry eye at Taiwan" 😁
