Sharing below written by a Malaysian KZfaqr: I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance. These ,8-Robbers were: Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary. Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.

I was nodding in agreement with what was said until that part about supporting “democracy “ in Hong Kong. I personally saw the atrocities perpetrated by the US-incited violence on the streets. The western world should have realised by now that the riots in Hong Kong had nothing to do with democracy but a U.S. ruse to destabilise China.

hearing his other talks about US imperialism and its hidden agendas, i'm baffled at his statement on HK and Xinjiang... perhaps more context is needed... but you can't say you understand the toxicity of US/Western imperialism and turn around to say you support the HK protesters and the Uyghurs... that statement is pure contradiction - especially coming from a person like Yanis...

Agreed with everything except hk and the rest. As someone who knows about foreign/western imperialism, does he expect china to allow foreign countries to meddle and control it's domestic politics, even supporting separatists factions and trying to divide and break apart china? Yanis knows the answer to this question, so I don't know why he said he supports the students, who are most likely to be the more violent and radical of the protesters. He should have just said he supports peaceful protests, but the students were anything but peaceful. Didn't he see when they took over a few universities and turned them into a fortress to make thousands of Molotov fire bombs? Does he support that? Of course not. That's the majority of the students, and "bringing mainland down with Hong Kong" was their main tactic and strategy. Their spokesperson joey siu went on Germany's DW and would not even denounce a rioter who tried to kill a cop with a knife completely unprovoked.

I am from Hong Kong and you are wrong about Hong Kong, when normal citizens get beat up who have a different opinion, living in fear of those so called democracy protesters !?!!!? You are wrong !

@Yanis, I agreed alot with you, but for some support what you give to some, is very strange. HK riots started with Taiwan, as you know about the murder of a young prengnant lady. Taiwan asked HK to handover the murderer, HK has to introduce a law. When the riot began, Taiwan cancelled the handover off the murderer. If you did some backgroundchecking of the HK riot parties and also the leaders of it, you will find that they are sponsert by the NED. Incase you do not know, National Endowment for Democracy (probebly also active in Greece). Isnt it also very strange that you visit the US, see congress, and asked them for all kinds of help openly. And showing the flag of foreign countries in China, because you want to be one of the foreign country. Beating up people who are not agree with you. Have you seen the pictures off beatenup elderly, policemen stabbed with knives? Please also do a backgroundcheck of the president of Taiwan and her ministers, you will also see that they are sponsert by the NED. Taiwan is already an onofficial state of the US, used as a proxy. Uighers, this is already debunked. It's report was written by someone called Adrian Zenz, and ASPI from australia. As you know ASPI is sponsert by defence industrie. There are no proves and facts. All minorities in China has alot of privilige, like, educations, healthcare, jobs. Even the restaurants at the university campas is halal. Just lookup for some youtube (easiest way) from western expats, tourist, or moslims, who made some vlogs. Or better, just visit China, also Xinjiang. It is open for everyone. China also invited all countries to visit, all excepted, except western countries. I watched your interview about China, where you talked about the harbour Piraeus and also the Cambridge Forum where you told the lady about China.

So Hong Kong was ranked 1st in freedom index when all these less free countries thought Hong Kong needed their help, lol

Must I say when he went off to a cliff: 3 words: Hong Kong, Uyghurs, and "saving democracy" plz word freedom of democracy is long over, over... That's the ideology many believe (ed) me from a former Yugoslavia..

@Yanis, I agreed with everything you said at the beginning, BUT I do not agreed with you when you start talking about Xinjiang, HK, etc., so please visit Xinjiang to see how the Uighur lives and please check who was behind the riots in HK...

I agree in every point you made except the part about supporting HK riots and Uyghur jihadists. They were extremely violent with the purpose of causing harm to society.

Yanis you're contradicting your argument about no cold war against china and imperialism and talking about support hk protest and Xinjiang genocide narrative That s a cold war right there go to China and look 4 yourself bring your own conclusion

You need to get educated regarding Xinjiang and Hong Kong so as to arrive at an informed opinion.

I'm sorry, sir, but how do you say you are absolutely against a cold war with China when you just spouted every single Western propaganda that the cold war is being built upon? Hong Kong, Xinjiang, calling China an authoritarian regime when it is one of the very few government in the world that actually cares and delivers common good for its people? I am confused by your declaration. How exactly are you against cold war with China?

for instance a case such as that of Julian Assange makes me suspect that the West is falling into some form of corporate autocracy, the way that constitutional law, fair trial and even relation with other States (as Julian is an australian citizen) is alarming. I have known for a while of the power of big corporations to rewrite laws and to be "to big to fail" but those perks are progressing fast

This shows the sadistic characters of the American provocateurs that exceeds insanity.

This comment (copied from someone's comments - someone more erudite/knowledgeable than me) is an epiphany: " The existence of political parties and elections in any country are the preferred path for intrusion of "charitable" organisations such as the CIA." " The main reason the US always pushes for elections in developing countries is that with a suitcase full of dollars, you can create, buy influence and/or control politics in a foreign country."

Never bite the hand that feeds you! Even the wild beast knows that.

The Cold War was Communists vs Capitalists. The new Cold War is Keynesians vs Neo Classics. If China liberalizes capital markets, privatizes SOEs, reduces public investments and "deregulates" the economy, everyone would be friendly with them. China has seen what happened to Japan (in 1989) and to South East Asia (in 1997) when they were forced to abandon their very successful development model and is doing its best to avoid the same thing happening to them.

I was following this talk with great interest right until (almost) the end when he mentioned Hong Kong, Uyghurs and the like when I suddenly sat up and rub my eyes - wait a minute, did I hear him earlier saying the Americans are stupid and a bunch of hypocrites? Has he actually been to Hong Kong; never mind Xinjiang - for him to criticize the Chinese govt in the way these two provinces were handled to become what they are today?

I can't agree with your opinion about what really happened in HK 2019. I'm an original citizen in HK. The opposition , the thugs, the mobs and some of the student leaders are funded by the NED. Violent crimes happened last for more than seven months. During that period he so-called peaceful students always attached police and innocent people who tried to clean up the blockade in the roads or disagreed with them. They robbed banks' etc machines, they destroyed or burned the shops don't stand with them, they burned mtr stations, they stopped the public transportation from providing service to people who want to go to work. They did all kinds of terrorist attacks in name of democracy but without the consent of majority. Their purpose is just to overthrow the HKSAR govt, then divided HK from the mainland China.

I don't get it. He so clearly understands and describes the power mechanism of the empire, but belives every word of imperialist propaganda-war on Hong Kong and Uighurs. I've been in Hong Kong plenty of times during the chaos and the so-called freedom-loving pro-democracy fighters had much more in common with fascists brown shirts creating fear, attacking ordinary people (not just the police) and smashing shops they decided were their enemies. Yanis, I agree that not every person and organisation that receives money from the NED must have dishonest motives (even though propably 99% do), but if the NED funds so extensively a movement I would check the facts again and better look for an alternative, not western narrative!

You are wrong about Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

the right honourable Mr Yanis Varoufakis has some very outdated preconception of what the Chinese can or can't do base on outdated cliché.. i do hope he has managed to go and checkout Brian Berletic channel ''the new atlas'' what Mr Yanis said the last time i watch him on this channel is shockingly ignorant for an ex minister of a country..

I am not sure if Mr Yanis has any knowledge of the Chinese culture. They value order and peace in their society above all else. Who ever can bring that to China, they will support. If Mr Yanis you need to understand this point.

you have my respect for relatively "fairly" judging the whole situation without too much bias as a westerner. But when you mentioned Hongkong, Uyghurs, I am not sure which is the case: case 1: clearing up the whole HK, Uyghur propaganda is simply political suicide in the west, or you are concerned about your own safety from CIA. case 2: as a former high ranked official in EU, you REALLY don't know what's actually happening in HK and Xinjiang, which is hard for me to believe. I don't know where to start, but for high intellectuals as yourself, how can you believe in such silly propaganda??????? In a whole year of HK rioters vandalizing public facilities, beating up people who they don't agree with or look like mainland Chinese, stabbing police with knifes, setting old man on fire because they don't agree with him and everything else, a whole freaking year, there is ZERO confirmed death caused by HK police, ZERO. all the tragedies I mentioned are very easy to search on YT for anyone with basic Chinese. For the uyghurs, MSM kept on saying Millions of uyghurs are forced to pick cottons on the fields and held in prison....I can't believe there are people actually believing in that, I don't even need you to search for YT channels of some uyghurs, where they show us how the cotton-picking machine works(yes, this is 21th century and machine replaced people already in many industries). Just answer me one thing, if millions of people are working on cotton fields under the sunlight, WHY THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE PHOTO from U.S sattelites??? If you really curious about what's happening there, just go to Xinjiang or at least check their Vloggers on YT....It's mind boggling that people intelligent as you to fall in such simple BS. I really don't get it. These stories are so easy to prove fake. But anyway... thank you for giving the right message, that is no one wants conflict except the weapon companies!

I have a great respect for Yanis but I would encourage him to get himself more educated on HK & Xinjiang and not to insult his own intelligence.

Please follow The New Atlas with Brian Berletic regarding Shinjiang and H.K.Peace

China will not dance to Wall-Street tune or play by Western Banks rules!!!

Though I agree with your points about the new cold war, you have to know that your knowledge and understanding, or lack thereof, about the other things that you mentioned (7:00 - 7:18) like "HK" or "Uyghurs"...etc. are a total joke!

The moment he talk about his support for those student rioters in HK, he loses my respect for him.

"don't be mad at the mirror if you are ugly." This is the most accurate expression to describe what the US is like right now. The US should introspect much about the reasons why its human rights record is bad, before questioning others.

Agreed on everything except the failure to understand that HK student protesters and Uighur issue, is already part of the Cold War on China. HK protests were financed and supported by foreign powers in plain vision to all and Uighur issue is not even an issue, but a constracted issue financed by warmongering politicians and ASPI. I hope that Yanis just haven't research about these enough yet and may have been misled to conclude the wrong conclusions.

China is doing great things and has a cultural tradition of honor above all.

If you only listened to the reports about Xinjiang and HK, you’d support them. That’s if you take these reports as the truth. I suggest that you go to these places, live there, talk to them, to find the truth for yourself.

Come on professor! Hong Kong and Xinjiang both leads right to the NED! Even Myanmar and Thailand, same thing...NED!

America's behavior during covid and Trump was the last straw, it has turned me into a full on Tankie Marxist.

Very good video to educate the peoples fm the west,to cooperate for a better world.

I can't figure out Yanis when he talks about non-existent authoritarianism in China and equally non-existent democracy in the west, complete rubbish. Frankly, China is far more democratic than Europe or the US.

Astonishing how on the one hand Yanis claims to be against the New Cold War, yet in the same breath will parrot the very propaganda that is fueling said New Cold War. Zero self-awareness and zero critical analysis. I'm sure you're a busy man, Yanis, but still as a politician it's your job to know the current geopolitical situation. Do better.

I think Yanis has applied for a job with the NED.Sad

How many times when you go voting, you know exactly for whom you vote and for what cause? And how many times you have been disappointed by those you have voted for? And this is the system we claim to be the best for all? When your politicians preach you about equality and human right, do you really think you are equal as they are and enjoy exactly the same rights?

I have a lot of respect for Yanis. Everything he says are absolutely correct, except for Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

Varoufakis is correct that a cold war with China would be devastating, but it is because he is a pragmatist, which is why he's disappointing so many people in this comment section that he's not 100% pro-China. Many people in the West want an open, liberalized China that we freely exchange goods, culture and people with, they're not closet communists.

This guy is misinformed about China. There is no issues with how the government dealt with HK, Xinjiang and Taiwan. He must be watching too much CNN and Fox. Only sees one side of the story. I’m Chinese Canadian. Stop being one sided in general about China n not just “stop Cold War”

Dear Mr Yanis, sound like you support colour revolution

👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

I think all the folks on this board criticising Tania about Hong Kong etc should wash out their ears - he said clearly he supports the students in HK etc,,. Open your ears folks. 👍

This has aged well

makes so much sense.

I appreciate many if y our well- elaborated thoughts. I do, however, urge you to study the Chinese political system in more depth, and also investigate the truth about the Uighurs and about the Hong Kong riots. I think you are buying into American propaganda to try to weaken China. I’d call their political system very closely managed rather than just authoritarian. It is doing quite a few things that the US should do rather than let it’s industrial capitalism have free reign and destroy the future f or much of the middle class. Anyways, I appreciate the open dialogue on all of this.

I love how the finance minister of a country in an absolute economic collapse is lecturing us that countries with incredibly strong economies and high standards of living are stupid and smack of idiocy. So along with financial understanding, we can strike irony off the list of things Yanis understands.

Stupidity mixed with hypocrisy? ….. absolutely!!!

OMG, I stumbled across this guy by accident and found immense intelligence between those ears. Apart from Lee Kwan Yew, he is probably the next best person to listen to.

Capitalism has turned into a Financial Oligarchy where Oligarchy is too restrictive a word. Even Hegemony is too restrictive a word since the dominance is done by a group of countries. It is a system that has turned into a system where it brings out the worst in how humans behave. When humans misbehave, humanity becomes chaotic. The root of competition is also a cause for chaos, since it is based on the emotion of vengeance. The drive of vengeance does not improve the human condition, however, cooperation does.

Who pumped the finance to China, Americans. So way the long story.

U got very good and important message

He could add the Chinese electric car indusry as one that Western countries also want to crush. BYD (Build Your Dreams) is a successful car and battery company. I agree with Yanis. Leave China alone. Live and let live.

xingjiang and hk are a part of the us war effort. you got confused.

I have to say, my respect for all greeks has rosen to the rooftops, yes just like the example he used in this very video, I was constantly agreeing with everything, until we reached China's governments topic, I can understand why you feel that way, but the reason behind it was definitely the US risen, if not for the constant provoking by the US, this would never have happened. I didn't expect you to agrree with the violence, therefore I have my suspect and a hint of understanding since any other path chosen would've brought you in a bad position. Nonetheless, I could not agree with you further with everything else you stated.

Have you witnessed the genocide against the Uyghur in Xinjiang and have you seen the brutally of the Police in HK against the rioters.? If you have not please don't parrot the anti China MSM of the US... please visit Xinjiang and witnessed the truth and as for HK what the rioters did to those who voiced their displeasure were burnt or beaten to death.. do you agree that what the HK Police did to the rioters are pale in comparison to the brutal force the US dis to their own rioters ? I have much respect for you on the views you present but at times please don't be carried away by emotion .. a clear mind and heart will see through things clearer .. how many more people and children will be killed had China not take drastic action against the extremist that terrorised the local population with bombings and random killings ? Will you do the same if it were to happen in your own country ? What China has done to Greece is a clear indication on how China tretes its own citizens... Greece was pariahed by some EU members and imposed great obstacles for Greece to pay back its debts leaving no avenue for Greece to get back on its feet again until China willingly lend a helping hand without any conditions to Greece and because of this some EU members were not too happy and bear grudge against China for helping Greece .. although China did have the access to Europe through the Port of Pireaus it is a win win deal and the relationship between both countries will continue to grow ... remember you are a former minister and you should know better the precarious situation Greece experienced during the debts crisis ..

Message makes sense to me.

I'm always amazed when people you think are savvy completely blow their credibility . You then have to write them off as somebody's stooge/drinking buddy club

Truth of the matter

Thank you, sir 🙏🙏🙏

Todays colonization are in the economic sector.. my country capitulated to the US colonization via IMF back in 1998.

Karma will fall, on those who did dirty job. Just Covid 19, those who did it, will feel the pain. But those Polilticians got NO feeling at all. Hundred of thousand of their citizens die, they are innocence

Abortion should be obligatory!!! Why? Because none/parents has the right to decide about others/children life. Animals reproduce because don´t think, but people do. Avoid throw, irresponsably, others to life. To suffer, aging and death. Life and presions are the same. None choose any by his own will but by the will/needs of others. And none of both can be less rejectable/ugly by changing its decoration or the adminstration system. The true liberation is from life not in life.

I hope Yanis revise his position on HK and Uyghurs jihadi, his kantian a priori fundaments are making him terribly wrong on those issues

Yanis, please. You speak of money not people. China BULLIES all their neighbors. China painfully hurts local Uyghurs and acts dictatorial toward their local people. You only focus on money. You received Chinese help. Money help. I respect you and your thoughts, thank you. Please allow world disapproval of Chinese wrongs to help stress their society toward Positive changes! This is good also.

Capitalist economy doesn't make sense. How can 'printing' save anything?

I'm glad Yanis has seemed to come around. I just recently heard him repeat CIA talking points about supposed crimes against the Uyghurs and Hong Kong "protesters."

Everyone is mad at Trump :D But the fact is that he didn't do anything different than every other US ruler. The cold war was started with Labarack Obomba's so called "pivot to Asia" where the military was pivoted against Asia.

Factual

Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs....

Thks for speaking truth

Much of this is very well said, but what I find puzzling is why you don't (seem to) find any Chinese intellectuals coming out themselves to offer this kind of analysis. In English. Instead you just find them repeatedly shouting slogans.

US grand strategy or century is dominant with military might, nuclear arms and USD. US operate more than 800 military bases, 200 bio labs around the world. With such power, they can almost do what they want, regime change, alienated countries, dictate rules, expansionary ambitious and maintain hegemony. US is a great leader in formation of military alliances such as NATO, Quads, AUKUS, instead of partnership for peace and development. Question is, can the US lead cold war able to contain China? Are US & allies prepared to lead a hot war on China without hurting themselves? China is not USSR or any other MidEast or Latin counties that US had alienated. China is a major economic engine that trade with more than three of quarter of the world which includes US and all allies. Striking a hot war on China will ignite China's the bears, rocket man and partners that either push back US and allies or worst scenario lead to devastating doomsday consequences which may be irreversible.

He’s pulling his punches even now

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bravo

Countries should be unite bring peace weather it is dem or autoc We’re all ppl with feelings

I.. Respect you... Be.. Free.. From.. Mental.. Constipation... Don't.. Stick to.. Words.. Humans are.. One... Humanity... Justice for.. All.. Imagine.. No.. Nations No.. Religion.. Let.. Me.. Play.. Imagine..

That's how grateful the US is when China saved them during the 2008 crash. I disagree with your assessments of the HK police. The HK students beaten up by the Police? Did you see how these rioters tried to grab the policeman's gun? How these rioters beat up innocent HK citizens when they tried to clear the roadblocks and got hit on the head with a steel plate? the taxi driver who got beaten up so badly that he needed to be hospitalised? All of these were not reported in the western media and hence you did not see them.

My sentiments completely, I was afraid of this in early 2000's

Definitely.

The first cold war was about stopping the spread of communism by the Soviet Union. The consequence of that included many countries receiving independence particularly from the UK which was pressured by the US to do so, as the Soviet Union was using having colonies against it, as not a sincere champion for freedom, but hypocritical. Decolonization sped up the decline of British power. The cold war with the Soviet Union also influenced the US civil rights movement as some argued that it pushed the US to end segregation as the Soviet Union used this against the US. Is there a new cold war and what will be the consequence? Even nuclear proliferation in the 60s was due to the cold war.

US government: We really love peace, the peace when I can be to No.1 leader firmly inside the world.

Me living in the end of 2021 wondering why they havent finish the war yet. Worst case scenario, i wont be born back in 1992 but hey i dont need to experience all those war shites.

Truth hurts 💜

Another guy with a right head. ✅

yf is a smart man and a prominentl voice for sane policies. would have made a great leader of greece, but the stage was too small for him. big mistake.

When Yanis Varoufakis was the finance minister of Greece, I thought he was just a populist idiot, because that’s was what he was portrayed to be by the mainstream media, including Bloomberg News. Many years later, after he stepped down, I chanced upon a KZfaq video of him speaking and after listening to him in person, I realized how wrong I have been all along. Varoukakis is just such an incredible man: intelligent, analytical, objective, rational.

Uighurs lol

Yanis, you might want to look a bit deeper on Xinjiang and the Uyghers, and what transpired in Hong Kong is 2019-2020.

A New Cold War: Global Strategy

I simply click into this video because he looks like Voldemort in Harry Potter 😂. All these geopolitical BS, honest, everyone knows what’s going on and everyone is just talking abt what they want to say. No point waste ur life such issue, it’s purely political.

12 Australian submarines 50 billion dollar's to start with 90 billion 2 years later. Now open ended billions for unknown amount of submarines. Stupidity or theft???

You are absolutely naïve. Did you forget the massacres of Tianamann Square, Hong Kong? What about the consultant threat to invade TAIWAN ???

And so too is this Marxist 'economist'. Go and learn some Austrian economics and read some Schumpeter, Yanis ! !

Varoufakis!!ha!ha!ha! The capitalist speaks against capitalism?! What a hypocrite!! This guy is a real clown!!
