Peace is a cold war! China is an entirely different society under the dictator Xi and authoritarian CCP ..[For honest truths, pls read the informative and insightful, multi-page comment by 'Mister Lianghui' at, "The Coming War on China": kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGWVfKeJmtRmq6ssi=gaElCf8Iekxh8yiB]. Like I said, China under dictator Xi and authoritarian CCP and is a country with a barbaric history. 🤷

There is a lot of errors: 1. U.S. vs China is about values? They are more similar then they are different. They are international realists. U.S. is an offensive realist, while China is a defensive realist. According to research by Princeton University, U.S. is really a plutocracy, run as a national security state ( CIA etc) that want to run and rule the world. China wants to defend itself against this. 2. The video is contradictory. In one part of the video, the video argue China is part of U.S. order, while on a later part of the video, it said China and U.S. is in a rivalry. These are contradictory claims. What is more true is that China is rivaling U.S. in commerce, just like how Japan did a few decades ago. This is not a war of ideology, but of economic competition. U.S. do not want Chinese firms to outcompete American firms, because U.S. is rule by plutocrats. 3. It is about U.S. vs China. I think it is about U.S. vs the world. U.S. for the last few decades has be using the rest of the world as a giant ATM machine in the form of the dollar. U.S. print money to buy actually goods and services from the rest of the world. I don 't think the rest of the world want this arrangement any longer.

Because he thinks the USSR was just Russia and not a union of nations, much like America is a union of states. This is a very common mistake and honestly nobody really knows or understands the history of these times since it's practically impossible to get honest analysis of what the USSR was in the beginning versus what it became, in all of the detailed context. Most of what is easier to find is a bunch of claims that have nothing to back it up, just a lot of trust me bro information out there.

The amount of American exceptionalism in this video is staggering. China and Russia are by no means the "good guys", but that doesn't exempt the US from all the atrocities it has committed in the name of "spreading freedom and democracy" or rather maintaining control over US interests abroad, whether it be for economic exploitation or for strategic military presence. American foreign policy has and still is ruthless. Instead, this video rolls with the narrative that the Americans are by default the good guys instead of approaching the topic of the video from a neutral position and answering the question accordingly. This video, therefore, feel like it's little more than propaganda. What a shame.

2:35 While it's true that after the soviet collapse, America and some other countries experienced relative calm during this period, it's important to recognize that this era was not entirely peaceful. Numerous conflicts occurred around the world, and in some cases, these were perpetuated or exacerbated by U.S. actions. The notion of 'unprecedented peace and prosperity' overlooks the wars, interventions, and instability that affected many regions, often as a direct or indirect result of U.S. policies

Very unfortunate to see what's happening to this channel. As many have pointed out, this is far from the former quality content. Was wondering what the content has to do with the video title at about half the whole play time, and the conclusion just falls really short, when there could be a clear cut answer to it: The only people framing this a new cold war is politicians and strategists who seek personal gains, while the community of geopolitical researchers is in pretty clear consensus that this framing makes no sense. I guess the channel tried to keep neutral with this approach but it doesn't really feel genuine with the clearly negative framing of China throughout the video.

US surrounds China with millitary bases, and was surprised that the China is building a closer relationship with Russia. US noticed the growth of China in 2008 and China being unwilling to submit like Japan. China pushing for a multipolar world is a threat to the unipolar hegemony therefore fearmongering is required. Statistics like 8:41 is created to make China seems dangerous when it clearly not. US millitary power is the equivalent of Russia and China. (But because of the bias the video worded differently). If you include US allies, US would be alot higher than China too.

As a Canadian I can tell you that Canada should not even be trying to extract that oil. It's shit tar sand oil that requires tremendous effort to extract and is messy. The environmental toll is staggering and it's harmful to those who work in the extraction process. Cancer rates among oil sand workers and those living in nearby communities are high. Even economically speaking that oil is not worth extracting.

Although the content creator is trying hard to save the recent decline in viewership, we should also remain fair and objective when considering the changes in China-Russia and China-West relations. Before 2018, the interactions between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were not frequent, at most within the normal range. The real change actually came from the sudden shift in U.S. policy toward China after 2018. In fact, Xi's reputation from when he came to power in 2012 until 2017 was not so bad. His political and economic policies primarily continued the openness of his predecessors. Correspondingly, from 2008 to 2017, China's international image steadily improved, as can be seen in the Pew survey results on China's global image, reaching its peak in 2018. After 2018, the shift in U.S. and Western policies pushed China and Russia firmly together. From the ban on Huawei to the trade war, relations rapidly deteriorated, with Western media actively supporting this policy shift, and COVID further pushed China-West relations to a freezing point. Even several charts in this video corroborate this shift, all indicating that significant changes in China-Russia and China-West relations occurred in 2018. The underlying cause of this shift is evidently the West, led by the U.S., initiating actions to maintain its dominant position, which is understandable. However, the way this video narrates the situation, as if Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin proactively formed a close personal relationship that led the West to change its attitude, I believe is incorrect. I would say that for China, external factors are the primary driving force, while the personal characteristics of the Chinese and Russian leaders are secondary factors.

Yeah what people fail to notice is that it isn't China that changed, it's the US. You can literally track the increase in hostility (for instance via trade wars and violations of Taiwans' airspace) to 2017. Nothing changed in China then, Xi came to power in 2012. What changed was America - specifically a certain orange man came to power on the back of an anti-China crusade, which his successor has just continued cos the populace loved it. It's actually ironic considering how much that man is disliked by half the US electorate that 'their side' largely continued his legacy, albeit a bit more multilaterally.

if you have to ask if you're in a cold war then it's pretty obvious you're not in a cold war. the current situation between china and the usa is nothing like the cold war between the soviets and the usa. the cold war in the later half of the 1900s was an ideological battle between capitalism and communism across the globe, both powers were imperialist and spreading their ideas with military might, and both were armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons and were constantly very nearly on the verge of starting a nuclear war. the current situation with china is more just an economic battle, there's no "battle for the soul of the world", it's just china wants more money and influence and america wants more money and influence so there's tension.

'Country' doesn't necessarily mean fully sovereign. For example, the United Kingdom is made up of 4 different countries; Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. Each of these countries often gets their own representation in international events, but nobody thinks of Wales as being independent from the UK. Technically speaking, the USA is made up of 50 different countries, though nowadays most people think of US states as provinces with fancy names and a little more autonomy than usual.

They're too high all over the place, not just Russia and China but also USA and France. Ever since WW2 there weren't any wars where both participants had same types of tools available, it was usually about USA having a superiority all over the place against some rebels or w/e with AK-47 and some bombs. Pretty much a one sided slaughter, especially if more than one NATO country did participate. And Ukraine in this conflict literally has all the tools delivered as a loan and has its economy on life support by third powers, in a sense, it is like a zombie that won't lose until you either cut off its head or cut off its blood supply. And I'd argue if Russia were to use the kind of fighting USA used in Vietnam, Ukraine would've already lost or would've been permanently wounded (Chemical weapons that were used in Vietnam are still causing mutations). Hence, there's a thick red line that Russia cannot target crop fields on territory of the "Breadbasket" country.

@@yuning8045 Nukes are relevant, but unlikely to be used in Cold-War-Style conflicts. I think a big part actually comes down to how resilient and powerful a country's critical infrastructure and military industrial complex are: Russia's is decently resilient, AFAIK the only import they can't make themselves are semiconductors, and those they get from China. But the Russian war economy is not nearly powerful enough to make up for the insane losses in Ukraine and is increasingly held back by their own crumbling infrastructure. China's production capacity looks to be absolutely massive and resilience should be decent too; they can even make some halfway-decent semiconductors (only like 5-15 years behind Taiwan & South Korea, depending on the tech). The US and EU are at a similar point as China in terms of semiconductors, but they are overly dependent on China for most non-military supply chains. Unless the west is attacked first, there will likely not be enough public support for military engagements in the face of a looming economic crisis in case of Chinese sanctions. Similarly, the Chinese economy would suffer harshly if they stopped the exports, but a dictatorship is more likely to be able to suppress dissent in such a case.

There is a lot of errors: 1. U.S. vs China is about values? They are more similar then they are different. They are international realists. U.S. is an offensive realist, while China is a defensive realist. According to research by Princeton University, U.S. is really a plutocracy, run as a national security state ( CIA etc) that want to run and rule the world. China wants to defend itself against this. 2. The video is contradictory. In one part of the video, the video argue China is part of U.S. order, while on a later part of the video, it said China and U.S. is in a rivalry. These are contradictory claims. What is more true is that China is rivaling U.S. in commerce, just like how Japan did a few decades ago. This is not a war of ideology, but of economic competition. U.S. do not want Chinese firms to outcompete American firms, because U.S. is rule by plutocrats. 3. It is about U.S. vs China. I think it is about U.S. vs the world. U.S. for the last few decades has be using the rest of the world as a giant ATM machine in the form of the dollar. U.S. print money to buy actually goods and services from the rest of the world. I don 't think the rest of the world want this arrangement any longer.

It’s like how people can be on the same team and be rivals. This isn’t contradictory this is just easy common sense. 3. Your understanding of macro economics is terrible.

it’s also about expanding China’s soft power and creating a global network of influence that challenges U.S. dominance. 19:35 - 🚨 Critics argue that the BRI could lead to debt traps, where countries become overly dependent on China and lose their sovereignty. 20:00 - ⚙ Countries involved in the BRI face a delicate balance between reaping economic benefits and maintaining political independence from China. 20:30 - 📉 There is growing concern about the long-term sustainability of the BRI and the potential risks for countries that take on large amounts of Chinese debt. 21:00 - 🏛 Despite these concerns, many governments see the BRI as a necessary gamble to achieve their development goals and improve their infrastructure. 21:30 - 🌏 The BRI is a clear example of China’s ambition to reshape the global order and establish itself as a central player in international affairs. 21:55 - 💬 The U.S. and its allies are increasingly aware of the geopolitical implications of the BRI, leading to more strategic competition with China. 22:20 - 📊 As the BRI continues to expand, it will play a significant role in determining the future landscape of global power and influence.

14:39 This is true, but I don't think it matters. The same is true for the U.S.-led bloc as well. The stated goals are freedom democracy and human rights. Yet, the U.S. consistently financially and militarily supports corrupt or authoritarian states with low democracy index scores and/or human rights e.g. Gulf States, and Israel.

When the U.S does something bad you call it mistakes, meaning involuntary, when Russia or China does something bad you call it a deliberate part of their strategy to control the world... Great, and next time do more effort about saying half of imports then 25% from China to Russia. Quality went extremely down, video filled more with misinformation than information.

8:40 i highly doubt that. could china and russia be invaded by the usa? not alone, no. but china and Russia's navies are pathetic compared to the american navy, and the same goes for the air force. america also has world class logistics, every piece of ammunition including missiles comes in cartridges that can be easily attached to a truck, whereas russian logistics has already shown it's capabilities in ukraine. if the graph is accurate and china is weaker than russia, then china and Russia have no hope of matching the us, let alone nato.

There is a lot of errors: 1. U.S. vs China is about values? They are more similar then they are different. They are international realists. U.S. is an offensive realist, while China is a defensive realist. According to research by Princeton University, U.S. is really a plutocracy, run as a national security state ( CIA etc) that want to run and rule the world. China wants to defend itself against this. 2. The video is contradictory. In one part of the video, the video argue China is part of U.S. order, while on a later part of the video, it said China and U.S. is in a rivalry. These are contradictory claims. What is more true is that China is rivaling U.S. in commerce, just like how Japan did a few decades ago. This is not a war of ideology, but of economic competition. U.S. do not want Chinese firms to outcompete American firms, because U.S. is rule by plutocrats. 3. It is about U.S. vs China. I think it is about U.S. vs the world. U.S. for the last few decades has be using the rest of the world as a giant ATM machine in the form of the dollar. U.S. print money to buy actually goods and services from the rest of the world. I don 't think the rest of the world want this arrangement any longer.
