I find this whole conflict hilarious since China grew so big thanks to the soviets giving them tons of machinery, training, investments, and materials. Then in the 70s when the Soviets piggy banks were running dry the chinese opened up to the west and got various governments, NGOs, and the World Bank/IBRD to give them tons of money to develop (which they still get today sadly) and to further boost their economy they whore themselves out to any foreign investors they can find. The PRC is almost entirely built of foreign investors but they love to pretend it's thanks to the CCP. This is also without mentioning all the stealing the CCP does with stealing tech and underworld activities like forgeries, hacking, dealing drugs, etc. The US is pretty stupid too in that despite the evil the CCP does, the threat they pose, and all the thieving they do the US has done almost NOTHING to get china to act better

Every western country would have to develop and manifacture infrastructure independantly. It's insane.

Kim has US boomer subs on China's doorstep, Dictator-Fanboy Trump's own polling says he's done, and the Dems idealize Canada, HATE Putin, and have GOP backing to STOMP China. Xi and Putin are SCREWED. China might have gotten away with just the Nazi-inspired genocide in Tibet, but harvesting organs from innocent citizens, plus the Uyghar horror, and now extorting a Western country like Canada, who can politically bridge the EU, UK, and Aussies with the US against China: glaring mistakes. Seperating families is a hot-button issue for the Dems, they are spending MILLIONS on it next year whipping up a frenzy to crush Trump, and China just admitted they did it on a vast, Nazi scale. OOPS! I majored in History: Germany in '45 will be China's new look if Xi doesn't stop his Hitler-'35 act, and if China thinks Realpolitic justifies Xi's current arrogance and brutality, bombed back to the Stone Age is the real Realpolitic, just ask Germany.

But it can't say yes to the second q becoz the 2nd q specifically asks what his ans. would be for the 1st q, and since it answers yes for 1st q answering yes to 2nd q would be telling the truth and thus the knave would always say no for the 2nd q. Reverse logic for knight.

Good information and great explanation!

6:55 "But Huawei is no ordinary company; it has a long history of alleged misbehavior. It’s CFO was, quite prominently, arrested in Canada on the grounds of violating US sanctions on Iran." Damm, not respecting unilateral sanctions the US imposed on another country of the world is bad behavior... ? Ok lol, it didn't know the US is the supreme judge of the world 7:32 "Then, last year, a French newspaper..." - Show the Financial Times - Meh, as a French I don't know I should feel upset or honored lol

Every time I click on PolyMatters videos, I know that an ad is coming.

[@AbhishekVankit]

The best sponsored ad is one where the viewer doesn't realize he has started watching one

[@Tepid24]

What the hell? As a european, I didn't even know that you guys had Huawei products banned. Literally sitting here with my Huawei phone, just astounded.

@Ivan Ricaña much better while not being able to say Anything opposing to the government otherwise they will "vaccinate" you like they did in 1989 June 4. (Their words not mine - source:Global Time 2019) No thanks. Sure less poverty, but souls have been lost regardless.. human creativity held enslaved to totalitarian state. It's a tragedy.

Excerpt from the book Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance between the Vatican, the CIA, and the Mafia by Paul L. Williams : "Throughout the 1990s, hundreds of Uyghurs were transported to Afghanistan by the CIA for training in guerrilla warfare by the mujahideen. When they returned to Xinjiang, they formed the East Turkistan Islamic Movement and came under Çatlı's expert direction. Graham Fuller, CIA superspy, offered this explanation for radicalizing the Chinese Muslims: The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them [Muslims] against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army. The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia. This policy of destabilization was devised by Bernard Lewis, an Oxford University specialist on Islamic studies, who called for the creation of an “Arc of Crisis” around the southern borders of the Soviet Union by empowering Muslim radicals to rebel against their Communist overlords."

@Ivan Ricaña Unlike China, Britain’s industrial revolution and overseas expansion was driven by a military policy. According to Hobson, during the period from 1688-1815 Great Britain was engaged in wars 52% of the time[3]. Whereas the Chinese relied on their open markets and their superior production and sophisticated commercial and banking skills, the British relied on tariff protection, military conquest, the systematic destruction of competitive overseas enterprises as well as the appropriation and plunder of local resources. China’s global predominance was based on ‘reciprocal benefits’ with its trading partners, while Britain relied on mercenary armies of occupation, savage repression and a ‘divide and conquer’ policy to foment local rivalries. In the face of native resistance, the British (as well as other Western imperial powers) did not hesitate to exterminate entire communities[4]. Unable to take over the Chinese market through greater economic competitiveness, Britain relied on brute military power. It mobilized, armed and led mercenaries, drawn from its colonies in India and elsewhere to force its exports on China and impose unequal treaties to lower tariffs. As a result China was flooded with British opium produced on its plantations in India - despite Chinese laws forbidding or regulating the importation and sale of the narcotic. China’s rulers, long accustomed to its trade and manufacturing superiority, were unprepared for the ‘new imperial rules’ for global power. The West’s willingness to use military power to win colonies, pillage resources and recruit huge mercenary armies commanded by European officers spelt the end for China as a world power. China had based its economic predominance on ‘non-interference in the internal affairs of its trading partners’. In contrast, British imperialists intervened violently in Asia, reorganizing local economies to suit the needs of the empire (eliminating economic competitors including more efficient Indian cotton manufacturers) and seized control of local political, economic and administrative apparatus to establish the colonial state.

[@wealthiness]

PolyMatter & Business Casual make a video about Huawei 1 hour apart, coincidence? I think not.

[@yogawan3805]

Polymatter more balance while business casual is more bias to Western politics.

[@yoissy]

In your example at the end, wouldn't neither ever say no? If you asked a knight they would say yes they are because they always tell the truth If you asked a knave, they would say yes, because they always lie Either way they should never say no.

[@EpicAglet]

Yeah you're supposed to ask them what the other guy would say if you'd ask them. If you're asking the knight, the knave would've lied and said yes so the knight says yes. If you ask the knave however, the knight would've said yes so you get no. Either way you know who's who

[@KneelBeforeBlue]

The transition into the ad was smooth

[@Fufski]

The CFO is not arrested, but kidnapped.

[@audetnicolas]

That's bullshit. She has access to a legal team, a transparent process which she can (and will) contest at every stage, she is detained for reasons that are clearly laid out, she will face independent judges. In the meantime she has very comfortable "detention" conditions and has time for taking care of her business and for studying. Now compare that with what happened to the Canadian citizen that were arrested as retribution from China.

[@jamesflynn6827]

Well phantom shares aren't anything abnormal we also have this law form in Germany its called Genossenschaft.

No but they dont confer ownership and are misleading which is why he mentions them

@PolyMatter did you find out about the Rockwell Medical thing before starting work on this video (and were eagerly waiting for the right video to mention it in) or did you find it while researching this video and thought it would be an incredibly amusing addition?

Hey, loved the video, quick question, how long on average are your scripts?

This one was 2,000 words

[@StefanLopuszanski]

Interesting stuff. I do suggest using a better map projection though since that one is very heavily skewed.

[@speedstriker]

PolyMatter's tone and perspective sure changed a lot since this video was made and the HK protests happened. Hope things will go back to normal sometime soon.

[@kevinoriordan3323]

Mate the proper puzzle is "if I asked the other guy what you would answer with, what would he say?"

[@albb762]

Huawei is a private company. A company hold by union is different than state. If a company share almost all its profit with employees. it doesn't make scene for others to hold its 'union' stock. Same thing happened on Japan's companies 30 years ago, so it is not a system problem also.
