Ambassador Freeman a real diplomat in the classical sense. 💕

Ambassador Chas Freeman deserves the greatest respect for his skill in diplomacy and in depth knowledge of world affairs. He is the epitome of the concept of "fair play".

[@yananneteoh9818]

US should stop accusing China of being threatening. 😮

[@yongdeng1813]

Damn this guy freeman is simply brilliant, i can listen to him forever. He is knowlegable of the histories of china, and he def knows about the US politics. Before freeman i thought kishore was the best, but freeman is just as good if not a tiny better. Oh btw his chinese is also on point, i can tell he put quite some effort to learn the language. All in all i am leaving the video with the most admiration toward freeman, i am speechless.

37:37 This story is absolutely epic. I would love to take Amb Freeman out for a beer and hear more stories like that.

These content should be on National TV to inform and teach the masses instead of what is showing now which reinforces mass stupidity

[@kevinhe3335]

Deepest appreciation, as always, for Mr Freeman's analysis and views that are based on facts, particularly historical facts. Unfortunately the western mainstream media's collective view is more based on cultural prejudice, subconscious racial uneasiness.

[@jackliew7993]

Chas Freeman is such a wise man. He should be the president of the US, not Biden

[@TheTalkWatcher]

FINALLY Someone questions the Mackinder "World Island" non-sense. I can't believe anyone takes the theory seriously.

[@shawnhennity1769]

[@chubascomohd2688]

Except Indian. European is more appropriate. Aryan race.
