I love the clickbait with big green poland as a friend of china and then not speaking about poland lol.

so wtf is this thumbnail?

The thumbnail is irresponsible… you can’t post something like that and not explain anything about Poland. It’s not even a click bait anymore, just lie.

I find the thumbnail confusing.

Serbia joing EU? In their dreams lol. India will join EU before Serbia

Saying poland is a good friend of china is like saying that Russia is a good friend of poland...

Bit disingenuous to say "Serbia and Hungary support China's one China policy" and neglect to mention that the entire European Union also 'supports' this 'policy'. Sometimes I get a feeling you guys just say whatever you think will sound right to your audience without any consideration for accuracy.

For us in Lithuania, China may also remind Soviet Union, which is obviously not a good look. Although, such opinion is not as prominent so far.

China: Don't politicize trade!" Also China: We won't trade anything with Lithuanian components because of politics

You guys have a serious problem mixing Europe and EU. Can you please clear that up? As a Norwegian, I'm kind of pissed at not being counted as a European.

I love the effort you guys put into your videos!

2:05 Hey TLDR guys. Could you please source this information because I follow you dearly and I like your videos, but this number is incorrect to say the least. The total Chinese investment in Serbia is 10.3$ billion from 2009 onwards. It is nowhere near 20$ billion. I would be grateful if you could explain more. P. S. GeoPolitics is my profession. Thank you.

1:40 what's the source for that "pro China" sentiment graph?

I came from Budapest the airport has Chinese signs translated everywhere didn't except that 😅

Czech here. We are still being reeled by the shocking situation in Slovakia where a Putin sympathiser came to power. We remember how China threatened us over our deal with Taiwan despite we didn't see it as a violation of One-China.

Portugal is saying hi

I love how this guy accuses China of divide and conquer. That is straight out of the US regime's playbook. Look how it has split Taiwan further from the rest of China, how it severed Kosovo from the rest of Serbia, and even broke up Yugoslavia, and want to do the same to Russia.

There are some people, cultures and nations that actually believe in the values they espouse. That actually have loyalty, and honour, and respect. Both the Chinese and the Serbs have one trait in common - they never forget when you help them. They actually have something called loyalty.

Almost like cold war borders

lol the mandarin tone of "Xi jin ping" is perfect

SHOW THE FRICKING MAP OMG

Lithuania must be one of the most politically reliable nations on the EU side of things. In NATO terms, they are an important ally.

Fun fact: After the fall of the SovietChina and Lithuania(and other eastern European states) actually used to have great relationships as anti-colonise anti-great power states.

That desk received copious amounts of love from your left hand. Smooth and gentle caress.

Do a video about a list of European countries that are vessels of the United States. That will be a lot I promised.

Pretty long video to say Serbia and Hungary are opportunistic and France/Germany can't get their Strategic Autonomy/Ambiguity thing working properly.

Why was Romania green on the map lol?

You really should take a pause between pronouncing Vucic and Orban, sounded like Vucicohorban😄

"Just a mouse under the foot of an elephant" high praise given how elephants back away and give mice a wide berth, possibly because they are afraid of mice but it's hard to tell what is going on inside an animal's head.

What about Poland or Italy.

7:01 him... Now where have I seen Germany do this before?

As a Taiwanese, i cannot literally enter Serbia.

Wolf warrior diplomacy isn't easily forgotten.

You are confusing Europe with the EU. What is the point of the video?

Perfect clickbait. You should feel ashamed

The UK really can’t afford to be anti anything. The country is so pathetic since the 21st century

France, Japan, Australia, USA and Philippines just had a large naval exercise in the West Philippine Sea called Balikatan exercise.

I don't think we can be surprised by Serbia (which isn't even an EU member as detailed), since the 1999 bombing. Serbia is symbolic because it has ties to Russia, so naturally it has been on Russia and China's side. About Hungary, I feel we are separating apart. In Poland today, we are seeing not a Hungary that has remembered the 1956 oppression, but a megalomaniac who tries to stay cozy to Putin. We are so disappointed by it.

It would be amazing for Serbia to join the BRICS.

Europe needs Unity.

If you are democratic countries,then you should respect every country...

You know, maybe don't put Poland as being pro-china in the thumbnail without explaining your reasoning...

I miss the dislike button, nowdays people are not afraid to misjudge the public for the views(thumbnail + content). About the video, very little information given, driven to confuse the public. Evaluation: 2/5

Im proud of my country Serbia to have this mighy nation of China as ally. Eu can't decide for 20 years what they want with Balkans, and they force Serbia to make precedent in Europe to give up Kosvo it's legimite and legal part of land to procide with joining EU in faaaar future i mean wtf.

Russia is 40% of europe and by far the most populous country in europe. Even if you do not count the trans ural oblasts, russia still has the largest population in Europe. Why are they not on the scale?

No mention of Italy, the 3rd economy in the EU?

They're not pro-China, they are pro-business. Apart from trading perspectives, no European country supports nor is inspired by the Chinese model, believe me. Trading with them doesn't imply we're pro-China, business is just business and is a need for our population.

I don't know about them, but I'm very pro China 🇨🇳 despite my country being its worst enemy. Plus, it's better to side with China 🇨🇳 than to side with the European Union 🇪🇺, Islamic ☪️ countries, and obviously Russia 🇷🇺

Should be rephrased to: Which European countries are MOST independent?

3:00 TLDR News EU..... The Chinese stance is the ONE CHINA PRINCIPLE. The ONE CHINA POLICY is an American held position.

How about you do a video about Irish politics (such as the rise of independents in the polls)

I am a Bulgarian and i can say that for Bulgaria, WE LOVE RUSSIA AND CHINA. We are brothers with the Russians and we support them and our common Orthodox Faith and our Slavic Brotherhood. We also support China because as Macedonia is Bulgarian, Taiwan is Chinese!

As a Hungarian, I didn’t expect those statistics from the population While a lot of people in our population still support the government, opposition voters are pretty much overwhelmingly anti-China (only a very small portion of them could be classified as pro-China, but they are usually even further to the right than Orbán, and only do that because they really vehemently hate Europe and the US), and there are a lot of public fears about China’s growing influence here. The railways built recently cost a lot, and it doesn’t help that it seems like Orbán wanted to replace EU funds with Chinese loans, so he can steal from them as long as EU funds are frozen. However, we all know what happens to a country when they can’t pay their loans back. There are also a lot of fears about the recent battery factories, as our environmental regulations are probably the weakest in the EU, and they are known to be very polluting. I imagine even some of the pro-Fidesz crowd is afraid of this. Then again, maybe all of this positivity is from government voters, but even in their case, I expected a lot of them to be more neutral. While Orbán is pretty much pro-China, he only very recently started including this in his propaganda. Before that, he bashed the EU a lot, but focused more on pro-Russia views, and didn’t really talk about China publically, doing deals under the table and just mentioning them as the “traditional East” against the “declining West” at most. So it’s surprising that the support from them is that high, as they didn’t talk about China a lot before; really. There is unfortunately also some racism against Asians, which is on the rise recently thanks to foreign Asian workers arriving to our country (they don’t really do anything wrong, but you can imagine how a rural person who never left the village before in his life feels when people speaking different languages arrive).

I don’t think that Xi is looking to … “divide and conquer”; I think it’s a geopolitical trip between China and several European countries; no different to any other geopolitical trip between any other country of the world and Europe. I think the topic of conversation behind closed doors on the table was … Peace Friendship Trade Again, no different to any other geopolitical trip between two countries.

I want to see what happens in the future for those who made deals with the Chinese. I'm not racist but from this situation we will see how things really are on both sides. At the moment they are coming to be producer as we have done for them before but I don't think that they will teach something interesting.

Actually 5 eye countries (minus New Zealand) are pretty negative on China.

UK is heavily anti-China? Two possibilities then: -The Chinese must be doing a lot of things right -The Chinese have stopped pouring funds into the British economy, which would explain why British attitudes towards them moved from favourable to unfavourable (as with the Russians)

EU thought Russia was nice too, but we all know how that turned out, let’s hope Europe doesn’t make the same mistake twice

These scales are probably based on government policies and popular opinions, which can probably differ greatly and very rarely align given that in democracy everyone is suspicious of their government

China can't transferring batteries because has a risk of disasters happening during transportation. EU and USA have these strict rules in place for a reason. Remember those disasters in the past? Some ships or planes had issues. But get this, while Europe might seem all strict about it, some countries like Serbia, Germany, and France are actually opening up to the idea of making batteries. It's like they're saying, "Hey, let's make some jobs, folks!" And don't even get me started on the history between China and Greece. I mean, we're talking about navy exchanges going back like 3000 years. That's no joke. And Piraeus Port It's practically a symbol of that ancient connection. But here's the kicker, some folks in Europe are giving China the side-eye over all this. They're saying Europe's got too many crazy rules, you know, making things harder than they need to be. But hey, that's just how it is. Reason is the following.... (others: Greece? we want part of the cake) The Port of Piraeus in Greece, dubbed the 'Dragon’s Head' of China's Belt and Road Initiative, has seen significant investment from China's state-owned enterprise COSCO. While shipowners and the Greek government have benefited economically, local communities and workers have faced challenges. Port workers have protested low pay and safety concerns, while environmental impacts and lack of public consultation have alienated locals. The Greek government, in a financial crisis in 2010, welcomed COSCO's investment. However, there's been criticism regarding the lack of enforcement of EU regulations and engagement with local stakeholders. Addressing these issues requires better enforcement of existing regulations, engagement with stakeholders, and systematic dialogue to balance economic growth with local concerns.

So you just cooked it up out of an opinion poll you flash on the screen for half a second 1:36 and do not mention. Peak journalism.

Xi Jingping's surname is pronounced "see", not "gee"

Hi, would you like someone who helps with the Hungarian pronunciations?

Lithuania is an incredible country, just spent a month there and surprised that it is very advanced, clean, peaceful, and great food!

In translation, Xi Jinping visited the only 3 independent countries in Europe that are not in the closed-minded European sect of America's vassal colonies, with the exception of Russia and Belarus.

It’s not ccp it’s cpc.

The myth of Orban as the “saviour of Europe” could not be laid more bare. This is the guy who says he can’t wait for the Chinese state to become the global hegemon.

Stop Clickbaiting when you are aiming to be a professional/serious news chanel!

Yes Bulgarians love China!

You should comment on the tomorrow elections in Catalonia, it might seriously impact the future of European nationalities struggle for autonomy

Correction. 10:21. 100% of the countries in the world and the UN support the once China policy. The countries of the world that represent 99% percent of the people of the world and the UN said Taiwan is part of China AND the PRC is the only legal government of China. The other countries that represent less then 1% of the people of the world also said Taiwan part of China but the ROC is the only legal government of China.

TLDR is the reason I ended my subscrption at Nebula.

let me guess Hungary, Serbia, Russia, Belarus, Spain Greece, Portugal and macron

Interesting

This seems like an unfinished video. The thumbnail is not even mentioned and the advertisement in the last 2 minutes is faar too long und unnecessary

European Union member states exhibit favorable attitudes towards China due to recent high-level visits, such as the German Prime Minister's trip to China and President Xi's visits to France and Hungary, indicating significant economic incentives at play.

I think it is pretts simple: some countries need investment, which is lacking. China cam provide that.

Speaking frankly, it seems there may be some misunderstandings regarding Lithuania's stance, unless they can demonstrate that they have not been influenced by a particular logic, such as that of the United States. On the issue of Taiwan, it's perceived as quite disappointing when a country deviates from its long-standing position. Such actions can be viewed negatively. Moreover, it's puzzling to see that such a course of action does not appear to benefit their nation in any way. For a smaller country to offend a larger one and avoid a fate similar to that of Ukraine is indeed remarkable." This translation aims to communicate the original message's concerns without resorting to derogatory language or personal attacks, which is crucial in diplomatic communications.

But, usa also supports one china policy. As long as its nonviolent. Which is also chinas policy. So all are in agreement.

I'm proud of the UK taking a firm stance on recognising China as the threat that it is, and its quick response to the HK security law.

Comment section hating on Serbia so hard

Lietuva is based, love from Taiwan 🇱🇹🇹🇼💪

Always liked Lithuania. We all should be like them.

TLDR, what did you mean by the thumnail? Why do you think we like China?

Since only 51% of Taiwan’s population is Taiwanese, it is awkward for you celebrate Lithuania’s “Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania”. The office flies the Republic of China flag while it excludes 49% of the population under ROC control Only 40% of Taiwan voters support secessionist candidates, 60% favor continuing peaceful relations with the mainland You are misinformed

Chad Lithuania. Gz from Poland

you should be removed from youtube for that fake thumbnail

Victor needs to support his “own” autocracy 😅

Everyone (almost) is pro money

You're wrong about the UK. We don't have much against China, we're just friends with the us

Ah, I remember your country pins.

Hi randomly scrolling hooman take care of urself :)

Germany wants important commercial ties with Russia. We all know how well that ended. Now Germany pursue commercial ties with China. They never learn, do they? In the meantime they criticise countries that run a deficit when their own surplus is only due to their commerce with questionable partners.

Chinese government needs more chill.

Guys why don’t you make a video about the university protests in amsterdam? Student got beaten, and bulldozed by the authorities!

An actually good piece on China from TLDR. That's rare

The EU needs to start thinking for itself instead of being dragged into the US’s disastrous foreign policy.

1:51 wrong route.

If EU just let the trade between china and EU run free like a real free market seems like tension would be gone🤷. About quality and price just let the customers decide for themselves what they want

Lithuania exchanging Red china for Blue China
