As an Australian who has lived in China for 15 years, I have to say the Chinese people are generally lovely as are a lot of Americans I've met here in Asia and in the United States. Living here I see there are not huge differences between the West and the East, the problem is not the people or the cultures, it's the power and money hungry politicians that have problems with each other and can lead us to war.

gusaholic brother it's not that an economy dominates alongside it it's culture ,values and it's philosophy also spreads over world! e.g. you may see world following U.S. trends , lifestyle, language and way of thinking (words like liberal, secular) so problem is that when china will start dominating it will do the same but problem is that it's not good in terms of freedom of speech , Human rights , open market etc. concepts When she(china) is leader fear is that these wrong concepts will affect other countries also

Then why isn’t the power-hungry and corrupt politicians of Australia trying to conquer New Zealand? Or why aren’t the power hungry and corrupt politicians of Iceland planning on invading England anytime time soon? Governments reflect the will of the people, governments don’t start wars, people do. Too many people believe Govts are some seperate entity that is always trying to cause harm (conspiracy theorist, they’re bloody everywhere). WW1: the Habsburg Nobility forbade the Austrian Govt from declaring war, but the people elected power hungry war mongers because they wanted war, so the Govt declared war. Austrians were ecstatic at the outbreak of war on Serbia, there were parades through the streets. There is an interesting series of letters between the heads of state during WW1 as the emperors realised they couldn’t stop their countries from going to war. I’ve met plenty of lovely Americans and Chinese, naturally, but they are also way more likely to support military action to protect their way of life (especially Americans, they crazy) as opposed to NZers, or Aussies, we‘re pretty chill, we don’t believe we would ever need military action to defend ourselves, so we don’t elect politicians that bring us into conflict with other nations. Politicians definitely reflect the characters a nation

Rudd recently spoke about Turnbull taking him to the parliamentary fraud and integrity commission with falsified emails and stories to drag Rudd’s name. Not saying he’s the answer to our problems or anything, I’m just getting at that unfortunately, nothing in the political sphere is as black and white as getting voted out of leadership.

It is quite humbling to know that Kevin is accepting of his responsibility and power to be a binding agent as an Australian who grew up witnessing the US rise and being surrounded by the Chinese rise as well. He fully is aware that no matter the threat of nuclear war, he understands that at the end of the day these two countries are going to be the ones standing up first and standing up last. Despite Australia being the most versatile, he knows that Australia won't last if these two collide. It's a shame Australia didn't have the same vision yet when he was elected, but of all the prime ministers in the last 2 decades, I'm glad it was him that apologised. He was was empathetic and visionary. His apology on behalf of Australia wasn't a political act, it was an understanding of another culture that suffered in the hands of greed and fear.

There used to be like a hundred translations for the US before 1900s, but after a lot of students were sent to the US and with a desire to overthrow the Qing dynasty growing stronger and stronger, a lot of books were published then introducing The American Revolutionary War saying that the Chinese need to learn from the us who defeated their master . Slogans like “要学那,美利坚,离英独立(learn from America who gained independence from UK)” were everywhere that's when the translation of the US was settled down.

Al Senior Meanwhile the Chinese People’s Liberation Army- Navy (PLA-N) is building 5 new aircraft supercarriers and large scale amphibious assault ships in the classes presently only available to the global power projection capability of the United States Marine Corps, while the PLA-Air Force is intent on acquiring up to 1,000 Y-20 strategic airlift aircraft capable of air dropping over 40,000 paratroopers up to 5,000km from mainland China within 24 hours. Let your heart not be at rest but readied for war. The similarities between the present day Peoples Republic and post Treaty of Versailles Germany are striking. They even have a religious minority to scapegoat and have imprisoned over 1 million in forced re-education camps, but this time they aren’t Jews, they’re Muslims. Meanwhile China intimidates all its near neighbours, Vietnam, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. The Chinese state is the apparatus of a mild mannered psychopathy. When the United States dissolves in the next three decades and China is no longer inhibited by the presence of US military power, you will see Chinas true colours laid bare. Remember China invaded Vietnam in 1979 and fought a 2 year war against Vietnam. Remember Tiananmen Square.

There are people out there trying to destroy the peace between these two great countries and people are trying to protect it. This video really encourages people to maintain a healthy world view and carry on to improve the world rather than to destroy it. Because we are in this together, if China and the US actually go to war no one will be safe. Not even Australia, these two nations have enough atomic bombs to destroy earth 1000 times and more. Every nation is in this, these two countries can't solve it themselves we should help them. Sort are our differences and learn from each other. I like the US there are many lovely people there, I would hate if Elon musk dies before he can land things on Mars. Anyways, my every old motherland, 5000 years of history, faced great danger in the last 200 years very close to dying, and the people on that land have built on top of the ashes and finally stood up.

Chinese people are very ashamed of their history of being the loser and being colonised. It could be just the government teaching one generation after another to think in the same way, I don't know. But even if that is the case there's no real difference now since it worked so well, that feeling of shame is very genuine and it can become the driving force of so many things.

Some of them are working below the minimum wage and exploited by their employers.

Yes, the Australian government apologized to the persecuted aborigines, but the entire Western community? Shouldn’t they apologize for the crimes of massacres, rape, plunder, sabotage, trafficking in human beings, and occupation of their homeland committed by the people of other parts of the world that they have done for hundreds of years? Even if it was merely verbal, it was not even a trace. Because they don't think it's a crime at all. I'm stronger and weaker. I'm bullying you right now. Western democracy based on this unscrupulous morality is a downright hypocrisy!

This is true, as he said, because this was one of the 4/15 times. But it could be argued that power didn't directly shift from the U.K. to US, but rather to Germany first, and then to the US after WW1. However, a major difference is that the U.K. and US had good relations and cooperation during their power switch. The cultural similarities helped foster this. Unfortunately, the west and china have very uncomfortable relations, and this is already flaring up more. There are almost no major cultural ties. There is reason to be concerned.

11:27 Fact-check: the world did not look away when Japan invaded China. The countries of the League of Nations unanimously condemned Japan as the aggressor. Italy sent tanks and fighter-planes to the Chinese under Chang Kai-Shek; Britain sent tonnes of ammunition and other supplies along the Burma Road; the USA even sent pilots who flew missions against the Japanese. When the USA warned Japan that they would stop selling them oil and scrap metal unless Japan withdrew from China, the Japanese attacked America at Pearl Harbour.
@bruceli57263 жыл бұрын
Yeah selling oil that fuelled the war machines while Japan was invading china. Even after the war not allow notorious war criminals(all sorts of war crimes such mass murder of civilians and test chemical weapons on cilivian) to be punished. Even allowing to Cut a whole chunk of land off China eg outer Mongolia (Russia's doing btw ) and Okinawa(well not part of China but under china protection before it got invaded). Also the fact is WW2 only lasted 4-5 years China's war with Japan is 14 years. Japan invaded China in the early 1931. And ended in the 1945so during the 8 years before Japan sided with German businesses as usual. US only came late in the wars as volunteers (before pearl harbour) . And as Victor of WW2 China was left on its own island. Every other country was compensated but china. FFS Japan didn't even give a formal apology to China for WW2 until present day. PS fun fact China even sent a 140k men in WW1 in the British side. So yeah China got played pretty bad hence the 100 year of humiliation (start from the Brits started a war to sell opium).
@karlchen97452 жыл бұрын
Yes, Japan invaded China in 1931, and took over Manchuria. The League of Nations condemned Japans aggression, but no more than that. What you refer to as “not looking away” was when the western powers actively provided aid and supplies to China in world war 2. Absolutely you are correct on the oil ban on Japan from the USA. But the fact was that not much action was taken by the west to prevent Japan from further expanding into China past 1931.
