[@rushdrift]

if people say China was aggressive, China never colonized any country not even once they themselves have been colonized remember this

[@Buttercookies0]

But then even if those countries were being colonised, why would you want to take it negatively? At least, they did not lead millions of people to their death, unlike China that initiated the great leap, the cultural revolution etc.

[@mapletibits6372]

@@Buttercookies0 it’s interesting China critics, like you, always outcry the evil of the CCP by bringing up the Cultural revolution as some sort of self-justification of their anti-China narrative. Are you a victim of the cultural revolution? If you are not Chinese what gives you the authority to define what is happening within China in an argument countering the opinion that China never colonized another country? Frankly speaking, doesn’t matter where you from, I can assure you not a single country on this planet has not had their share of ‘dark’ history within their own borders.

US has Tonya Harding Syndrome 😂

[@patriceesela5000]

An excellent analogy

[@grandwonder5858]

The reason more and more countries are willing to come forward to express their preference for China over the US is because the power of the US mafia’s ability to hurt them is waning so that’s why we are seeing more and more countries are beginning to express their desire to associate with China over the US, in not just the economy, but also in the military, technology, tourism, and social spheres as well! In the past countries around the world feared the US’s invasions, regime changes, sanctions, military blockades, and assassination plots and those were the reasons they were never willing to be honest with their desires to associate with China over the US, but now that the US’s power is waning and their power is strengthening, they are more willing to express their true feelings for China!

[@samsyvoravong4825]

Very excellent Victor Gao giving the voice of a wise and overall outlooked into the future! But ASEAN should be aware of the Western propaganda and lies it has already base in some ASEAN countries like the NED and NGO's along with some European sponsored base politician and human resources across the regions. Until ASEAN realized how they having these private Western humanitarian groups in ASEAN. We will be no different then how Myanmar is now, with civil war continue and people are divided all because of this Western interference in Myanmar development internally.

Since the dawn of Chinese civilisation of a few thousands years, culturally their mindset is, *_"Within the 4 Seas, We're All Brothers and Sisters."_* Proven by its long benign conduct since ancient times not to colonise any neighbouring, near & far away countries despite at various long periods of being a great power & wide influence. All the Chinese wanted - is to work closely with others to flourish trade & people-to-people relationship for long-term mutual development, growth and prosperity.

[@user-xl1wr9wm4f]

Such informative videos & other methods where there is continuous exchange of China's values, geopolitics, etc. are absolutely necssary so that both the countries will come closer to each other. There is hope especially because of the younger generation & their views.

[@ricohflex777]

At 15:50 Victor Gao said the TRUTH. This is in fact Law 101 very very basic. There is no such thing as an Unilateral arbitration. In Law, both parties must agree to proceed with Arbitration - BEFORE there can be any arbitration. The sham & pretentious 2016 (unilateral) arbitration on South China Sea is a complete RUBBISH. In addition the panel of lawyers were hand picked by a JAPANESE man. The panel of lawyers (they are not fit to be called Judges) were PAID + they wrote an essay in favour their Paymaster. This is shameful.

The Chinese should not trust the US at this stage. Just like Russia has come to realise that there is no one in the US that they can negotiate with. Only when China truly surpasses the US, perhaps they can work together. But in the meantime the US will be trying all kinds of tonya harding moves to cripple China.

[@voonjanted5043]

Asian countries as a whole should become the top and most important trading partner of China due to mutual close geographical location. As for the west, China may lose some of its influence over European countries due to political reason, however, New Zealand & Australia can be the exception.

[@grandwonder5858]

I wish you’re right, but Australia and NZ seem to choose the US because of their racist bias against China rather than decide on the merit of which country offers them the best economic, infrastructure, and social deals!

[@TheFriend2u]

@grandwonder58, Its Australia criminal ancestry of Stockholm syndrome. Whereas NZ is way downunder below downunder. So, NZ has monkey see, monkey do mentality. Hence, another ineffective leader. Anybody still remember Jacinda Ardern?? Out of obscurity, like UK Tuss, just in for the salary but not work. Except offer lip service against China. All those useless ineffective could be ticked off from countries that are contributing, interacting & participating actively in making improvements on its country.
