Who is China at war with, as we discuss how awful they are?

Thank you very much for information about your college. I would like to ask about when is exactly the time to take the interview at Reed when preparing for application?

John does not have a realistic approach to the world, but a pessimistic and deeply American one. Starting from the example of the USA, his country, a rogue country, extremely violent, he concludes that other countries can only be rogue countries. John was born and raised in a violent country, and like a child who grew up in a violent family, he sees violence everywhere. He believes deeply that violence is the norm. But humans are not beings driven primarily by violence. It is an impulse among other impulses, but it is not an impulse that dominates the others. It becomes so in sociopaths, but in this case it is an illness. We can conclude that the USA is a seriously ill country. Which does not mean that other countries are, but they may react to the illness of others as I would if I had a sociopathic neighbor. Unfortunately there is no medication to treat sociopathy.

There is no objective reason to say that China could behave like the US. China has a history of diplomacy while the US has a history of war. The Chinese do not have a warlike approach to relations between countries. John was born in the US, a rogue country. He has an American point of view on the state of the world and on other countries. One life is certainly not enough to understand how the world works. My best recommendation for John would be to go live in China for the rest of his life, live 100 years and write a new book on the state of the world at the age of 99. His conclusions would certainly be different.

A lot depends on America and the West's interference.

Thank you very much

这前面几条公理颇有几分宇宙社会学的味道哈哈哈

This is so terrible to watch. America as a country is too young and there is simply not enough wisdom. In China there is a saying about one judges another with their own way of thinking. Because US want to be an aggressive hegemony therefore China will also want that. His entire talk is based on that without a slightest doubt on how much he is disrespectful on other culture and total rejection of even try to understand other culture. The world is so unfortunate to have such a power like US who only believe to expansion is the way of security. He did not even trust to look into history. If he look deeper in Chinese history and Chinese philosophy, he will be assured that China will not threaten US security at all. Oh this is so unfortunate. 😢

John has a saying that big countries are ruthless. Like China, it conducts tariff-free trade with 33 African countries. This is completely incomprehensible to the United States.😢

When John talks about the rest of the world, he is so gentle and knowledgeable. But when he talks about China, he becomes exhausted and crazy.😢

What a decepcion :( this man is only a warmonger, on CIA's pocket to spread animosity against peaceful countries. He are very happy wondering about millions of chinese and american teens being slaughtered for 8mperial dominamce and money . China was most rich country for centuries and dont dominate any country. You are projecting all the moster nature of the americans to other countries

It can, if the US stops trying to cause yet another war.

Absolutely, I would love to make this English lecture by Professor Mia Scheimer a compulsory listening requirement for Japanese high school English. Then students would be able to look at contemporary history and international affairs from an objective perspective. まったくもって、ミアシャイマー教授によるこの英語講演を日本の高校英語の聴き取り必修にしたいくらいだよ。 そうしたら、学生たちも少しは現代史と国際情勢を客観的に俯瞰できるようになるだろうに。

No matter what, elite's everywhere and nowhere. Do you get what I mean!? 😂

Hii❤

Under Xi, the answer is a clear no.

Rock's insights are true and apply to everyone, not just writers. So many times, we fail to start creating our own life stories because the conditions aren't perfect enough. Having the courage to begin anew over and over again is essential. I wish that I had Professor Rock as a mentor as my confidence in life would most likely have been altered for the better. Writing isn't a form of magic but subtly changing the mindset of the reader is. The chances that a first draft will be a world wide success is nearly impossible. However, rewriting, reworking and editing until the message has been crafted so well that an uninterested reader becomes engrossed in the content is 100% possible. Sending positive energy and support all staff and students.

Poland is also on Russia's border. Kaliningrad is part of Russia. Professor Treisman neglects to mention that NATO said that Georgia and Ukraine would be part of NATO in the future without offering them a Membership Action Plan. A more dimwitted compromise would be hard to imagine. The Russo-Georgian War, as Professor Treisman makes clear in his own book, "The Return", followed on the loopy NATO commitment to make Georgia a member, and on joint US-Georgian military operations. It was precipitated by a Georgian assault on the capital of South Ossetia, a breakaway province of Georgia not under its control since the early 1990s. Russian peacekeepers stationed there were killed by the Georgian military in their assault. What happened to you between 2011 when you published "The Return" and this lecture, Professor Treisman? It's like you are a different man.

Repost at the 10 year anniversary. Now the war in Ukraine is ongoing and the U. S. (NATO) is heavily involved. Let's hope a 3rd World War won't break out.

Great stuff, thank you Andrew

China is currently in decline, and it’s turning into a relatively swift decline.

Next year it's me who is sitting there

The part about "hot spots" aged like milk.. Summer 2024 Israel is picking fight with Lebanon... and Iran... and is arguably commiting a genocide. If that ain't a hot spot, then what is?? Not the "sengo whatever" islands..

My older brother is there!

THE REALITY CHINA IS RISING PEACFULLY & NOBODY NOONE WILL STOP CHINA RISE😊

The Asian big powers are rising in 21st century and sadly US and other European nations can't see this happening " peacefully".

The video is 10 years old

So beautiful!!❤

If it is not good for the goose, it might be good for the gander.

Listening during my walk. Perfect

Much respect.

Mearsheimer is my hero. I’m German and he helped me more to understand my country’s history of the 20th century than all my school’s history lessons combined. He is a gift of god.

What a load of bs, the US always wanted to rule the world whether the west or the east, the US wanted to rule, the hagemon that you the US is ,see how you the US is doing to stop the rise of China and that forces China to be what it is today and in the future, the world can rise peacefully without the interference of the US trying to be the world's police man period.

*Title: Navigating 25 Years of Democratic Governance in Nigeria: The Critical Role of New Public Management and Strategic Engagement with the West* Introduction As Nigeria marks 25 years of uninterrupted democratic governance, the nation stands at a critical juncture, reflecting on its journey and the future trajectory of its political, economic, and social systems. The transition from military to civilian rule in 1999 was a watershed moment, heralding an era of democratic experimentation that has been both challenging and transformative. Over the past quarter-century, Nigeria has grappled with issues of governance, economic development, and social cohesion while navigating the complex dynamics of global politics. This article explores the importance of New Public Management (NPM) as a tool for enhancing good governance in Nigeria and underscores the need for a strategic re-engagement with Western powers to secure a stable and a more prosperous future. The Evolution of Nigeria’s Democratic Governance Since its return to democracy, Nigeria has made notable strides in consolidating democratic institutions and processes. Electoral reforms, judicial independence, economic development and anti-corruption initiatives have been some of the key areas of focus. However, despite these efforts, the country continues to face significant challenges. Issues such as political instability, ethno-religious tensions, and governance inefficiencies have hampered Nigeria’s progress. The persistence of a rentier state mentality, where the government relies heavily on oil revenues at the expense of other sectors, has further complicated the governance landscape. Economic development has been a mixed bag. While there have been periods of robust growth, particularly during the oil boom, the lack of diversification and inefficiency in public service delivery have stymied sustainable development. Socially, Nigeria remains a nation of contrasts, with stark inequalities, high unemployment, and inadequate social services continuing to challenge the government’s capacity to deliver on its promises. These challenges highlight the urgent need for a governance model that prioritizes transparency, efficiency, accountability, and citizen-centric service delivery-hallmarks of New Public Management. The Case for New Public Management in Nigeria New Public Management (NPM) is a governance paradigm that seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public administration by incorporating private sector practices. NPM emphasizes decentralization, performance measurement, public-private partnerships, and citizen engagement, making it highly relevant for a country like Nigeria, where public sector inefficiency has long been a barrier to progress. In Nigeria, the adoption of NPM principles could address many of the systemic issues that have plagued the public sector. Decentralization, for instance, could empower local governments, reducing bureaucratic bottlenecks and enhancing service delivery at the grassroots level. Implementing performance-based evaluation systems would ensure that public servants and agencies are held accountable for their actions, promoting a culture of excellence in public service. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) could leverage private sector efficiency and innovation for the delivery of critical public services, while citizen engagement would enhance transparency and accountability, ensuring that government actions align with the needs and expectations of the populace. Re-engaging with the West: A Strategic Imperative To effectively integrate NPM into Nigeria’s governance framework, a strategic re-engagement with Western nations is crucial. The global political economy is rapidly evolving, driven by neoliberal policies and the second phase of globalization-often referred to as "Re-globalization" or Neoliberalism. In this context, Nigeria’s future is better secured through a mutually beneficial relationship with the West, where both parties can collaborate on issues of governance, economic development, and global security. PESTEL Analysis of Nigeria-West Relations To understand the potential benefits of re-engaging with the West, a PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal) analysis offers a comprehensive framework for assessing the strategic landscape. Political: The West’s longstanding commitment to promoting democracy aligns with Nigeria’s democratic aspirations. Political cooperation could enhance governance practices and stability, fostering a more conducive environment for NPM implementation. Economic: Economic collaboration with the West, particularly in terms of trade and investment, could drive Nigeria’s diversification efforts. The adoption of NPM could facilitate this by creating a more efficient and business-friendly environment, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and enabling technology transfer. Social: Western support for social development programs could help Nigeria address critical social issues, such as health, education, and poverty reduction-areas where NPM’s focus on outcomes and customer satisfaction can make a significant impact. Technological: Access to Western technology and expertise could bolster Nigeria’s efforts to modernize its public sector, enhancing service delivery and enabling the country to compete more effectively in the global economy. Environmental: Collaboration with the West on environmental issues could help Nigeria address the challenges of climate change, which are increasingly linked to global security and economic policies. Legal: Strengthening legal frameworks through partnerships with Western legal institutions could support Nigeria’s anti-corruption efforts and enhance the rule of law, both of which are critical to the successful implementation of NPM. Great Power Politics and Nigeria’s Strategic Positioning In the context of Great Power Politics, the rivalry between the United States and China presents both challenges and opportunities for Nigeria. By aligning more closely with the West, Nigeria can leverage its strategic position to secure development aid, attract investment, and gain support for governance reforms. However, Nigeria must maintain a degree of flexibility, engaging with other global powers when it serves its national interests. This non-aligned approach allows Nigeria to maximize its strategic options while maintaining sovereignty over its domestic and foreign policy decisions. Recommendations Embrace New Public Management: Nigeria should fully adopt NPM principles to improve governance, reduce corruption, and enhance public service delivery. This requires significant investment in training, infrastructure, and reform of public institutions. Strategic Re-engagement with the West: Nigeria must renegotiate its relationships with Western countries, focusing on partnerships that are mutually beneficial. This includes seeking technical assistance, investment, and support for democratic consolidation. Utilize the PESTEL Framework: The Nigerian government should regularly employ the PESTEL framework to assess and adjust its strategies in engaging with Western nations, ensuring alignment with national interests and global trends. Leverage Great Power Politics: Nigeria should strategically navigate the U.S.-China rivalry by positioning itself as a key partner to the West while maintaining flexibility to engage with other global powers when beneficial. Conclusion As Nigeria celebrates 25 years of democratic governance, the need to evolve its governance structures through New Public Management is clear. This evolution requires a recalibration of Nigeria’s relationship with the West to foster a governance model that is efficient, transparent, and inclusive. By strategically engaging with Western powers within the framework of Great Power Politics and utilizing the PESTEL framework, Nigeria can secure a future that not only benefits its citizens but also enhances its standing in the global arena. In the words of Araka Okolieaboh, “To whom the brain is given, critical thinking skills and innovative solutions are expected; however, survival and self-help determine every state’s behavior.” This strategic insight underscores the importance of Nigeria’s proactive engagement in shaping its future, both domestically and on the global stage.

Can US even just exist peacefully?

China can not continue to rise as before, simple, America will make sure it can not.

Why would America allow China to rise peacefully? Most of you asking this question need to brush up on the core tenets of structural realism.

For all the tankies and China supporters claiming it "rose peacefully", I ask you this, what about a) the Vietnamese-Sino war just after the US left b) the belt-road initiative which is about as exploitative as IMF loans, if not more so and C) the ethnic persecution of Uyghurs and Tibetans. The Chinese rose about as brutally as the US rose in power, with chinese civil being escpecially brutal, Mao's tyranny and the death of millions on top off previously stated crimes against humanity. And yet I can go to America, freely criticise the government and the CIA and I won't be put on a watchlist, sent to prison for "re-education". America will not except China's rise to power, that is true (although looking at the state of China they don't have much to be worried about), but China will absolutely not except American dominance in the same way.

The west won’t allow china to rise peacefully

Not even GOD is peaceful, if he believes he is GOD. That is the human handicap.

Yes, anything is possible.
