War is a great distributor of wealth. Poor nations should not go to war as it starves itself by diverting already scarce resources to be wasted in a war especially not if its own making. As for great powers, the MAD concept which stands for Mutual Assured Destruction will be a sensible deterrent towards total global destruction, back to Stone Ages. India political ambition should be economic growth and more economic growth to reap and accumulate wealth. Professor Pravin could not presented his wisdom any better of India’s aspiration. China ascent to world power is not by accident but result of a long term strategy of accumulating strengths in the building of greatness in all necessary attributes. A large population is a double edge sword. The task is to make this an asset as China has succeeded and not becoming a liability of billions hungry mouths to feed.

[@Whitfield369]

I think the "Eastern Data, Western Compute" means that there are a lot of computational needs in the eastern China because it is a lot more advanced, thus data. But western China is less developed but has a lot of land and especially desert which can produce a lot of clean energy, and much cheaper. Therefore building data centers in the western part is a lot more economical and clean than in the east where the land and energy are a lot more expensive. Therefore offloading the hardware required for computation to the western China is a truly "win-win", as long as the connectivity is there, which means speed and bandwidth, which China obviously can build, through wireless 5G and optical cables cross the country.

[@jondoh9414]

The real measure of a great power should be "influence". That is determined by economy, diplomacy, technology, military power etc. In each of these areas, China is at the forefront, not just the biggest economy of the world but an industrial superpower with more production capacity than America, India, Germany combined. That is perhaps the real measure of economic strength, but even in GDP terms, China is first and is the #1 trading partner for most countries. Techonologically, China has caught up with America in most areas and is quickly surpassing it. Diplomatically, US is in decline especially as a result of what its is doing in the region that must not be named, BRICS is on the rise. Militarily, it has hypersonic weapons and about over 300 times ship production capacity of America already, but because China is also the greatest industrial superpower by far, that can be scaled up even more. Then there's India. Corrupt. No infrastructure. Has a population as big as China, but no high speed rail. Industrial output is not great. Diplomatically it does business with everyone but it has alienated the world's muslim population due to its actions. Technologically it is good with pharmaceuticals, and I don't know what else. Militarily, it is a joke, but it has nukes so that can suffice.

When I spotted Palki Sharma's interview with Prof. John Mearsheimer I had ignored and decided to not watch it, because I had a very poor opinion about her grasp of geopolitics and that I am quite familiar with the Professor's views which I admire no doubt. And lo, it was spot on. She, like many other Indian journalists and commentators, thinks that Russia-Ukraine war is in stalemate; 'India is an aspiring super power', 'China is economically on the down-slide', etc. So, later when I spotted yours (Mr. Pravin Sawhney's) I have decided to go back and see the first one first and carefully viewed yours too. Unless one views both the videos one would not be in a position to properly evaluate the contents of the first one. And thank you for your quick analysis and apprising comments. In addition to what you and Prof. Mearsheimer explained as to what constitute a super power may I add a word or two. Population definitely constitutes a major factor but it has to be united, actively engaged in nation building, contributing to wealth creation that leads to country's prosperity. For that the country should have internal and external peace. As for wealth it should regenerate wealth the benefit of which should permeate to the populace and that they should feel content and should be proud of belonging to the nation. Economic prosperity is another essential factor. For this there should be plenty of natural resources, skilled work force, investment capital and good entrepreneurship, sufficient water and power/energy resources, better communication facilities and above all a committed political leadership. To this we can add defence capability sufficient enough to protect the country from any external threat from land, sea and air/space. It is advisable that this is again sufficiently supported by domestic industrial production and innovation. (Eg. USA, Russia and China).

Even though India shows itself to be acting like a neutral country, it still has a more Inclination towards the West. There is no doubt about it. 3. It is not on account of border issues that India considers China as its enemy. But, India also sees itself as one of the oldest civilizations and considers itself as an equivalent country with China, in terms of civilization, intelligence, knowledge etc. But, it is only after 40 years, When China grew rapidly and left India far behind, that India now started feeling inferior and disgraced. Consequently, India now sees China as its permanent enemy. It keeps bringing border issues on the table just to cover up its jealousy and to justify its hatredness towards China.

Thank you for a very thoughtful analysis of India role relative to John Mearsheimer’s interview. I hope India can be neutral as these geopolitical conflicts continue to escalate and be the arbitrator for peaceful solutions.

[@ZweiZwolf]

Until such time that India is an actual Great Power who can gain, it is in India's best interest to sit out any geopolitical conflict to avoid loss.

[@absolootely2571]

Neutrality will be a hard act to follow. The US will bring extreme pressure to bring India to obey. India has so many weaknesses. e.g. The untouchables & 2nd class muslim society. They'll come at India with Human Rights to bring it to heel. And trade sanctions will be threatened and so on.

[@parttimethinker7611]

Very interesting analysis Me Pravin. There’s one other thing Indian government need to consider too. China and India were old friends and next door neighbor. Both will be the biggest economic pact in the future. Now, if Indian government misaligned on that future. An alternative future might be materialized. India historically had many enemies. But none of them were Chinese. Since You are a geopolitical analyst, can you tell us that if WW3 happened right now in Ukraine, will American government leave the whole Indian subcontinent alone and thriving? China knew that they’re gone…what about the mighty Indian? Will American leave the Japanese alone and thriving too? Do they trust the Asian Indian to rule their lands? What did they do to Indian for almost 200 years in India? Do they bother to even speak Indian? Or the Indian had to speak their language til present day?

[@biggpicture2930]

Asian indian land is always in a mess. It is very hard to control religious zombies, so you got no worry. Whoever pay more, will control the ruling party. Can China pay more? What language do you propose? many languages in India to choose from, and many don't want their language disappeared. It is also called cultural genocide. Smarty? or stuupiid!

[@biggpicture2930]

what language do you propose? why did Singapore choose ENGLISH? why did china choose a non han language called mandarin?

You didn't know Mandarin is a non han language?

[@curryhousechicken]

India is not your friend. Palki Sharma is the truth speaker of India

[@ex0duzz]

What are you even talking about? Non han language? Mandarin is a Chinese dialect. it uses chinese characters. Han doesn't really mean anything. It's just a loose concept of mainstream/majority Chinese people. Over time Mongols, Manchu etc all become "han" too as they assimilate into chinese identity and give up or lose their minority status and culture. Han is just from han dynasty and is just a name. In tang dynasty it will be tang Chinese instead of han and so on. In the end it doesn't really mean anything. No Chinese goes around saying I'm han Chinese or discriminate against others if they aren't.

[@SwazzerProductions]

It is a statue of Qin Shi Huang. The first emperor of China.

[@Awakening_Richard]

He was the first ruler to unify China under a "imperial" system. One of his great contributions was the written language, which a 7 year old chinese kid today can travel back 2,300 years in time and read and understand a script of wrote at that time. This is one of the core reason why China today, with the right policy, can develop at extraordinary speed.

[@ZweiZwolf]

Qin Shi Huang unified ALL of China in 221 BC, when there had previously been many Chinese states vying for supremacy since 475 BC. What is often missed in this story is how the King of Qi, the last warring state, surrendered to Qin rather than fight. This spared the people of Qi and Qin a bloody war that would have cost countless lives. Qin Shi Huang instituted and expanded many reforms. He is a powerful conceptual figure for unification, reform, and development on a supernational scale.

Professor,u may be intentionally or unintentionally missing out some facts. Indian defence manufacturing has significantly increased over the past 10 years. Our defence exports have risen by 31 times. And i don't see any maritime operations done by PLA navy . Indian navy is still the dominant power in indian ocean.

The Russians dug a tunnel for kilometres rather than airdrop their troops inside Ukrainian borders. And the irony is than over 90 percent of the viewers here have just blindly accepted these facts. Maybe the viewers should think a bit more before listening to such vague and misleading arguments.

[@sudhirpillai9791]

The theoretical basis for classifications of power in international relations, such as distinguishing between superpowers, great powers, middle powers, and small powers, stems from the study of power itself. The systematic study of power is relatively recent, with scholars like Harold Lasswell emphasising the importance of concepts like power and influence in political analysis. These classifications are rooted in the understanding that states vary in their capabilities, influence, and roles within the global system. For instance, superpowers are characterised by great power and high mobility of that power, while great powers have robust economic, cultural, and political influence over other countries. Middle powers, on the other hand, possess moderate influence globally but are not as dominant as superpowers or great powers. These classifications help scholars and policymakers analyse and understand the dynamics of international relations by categorising states based on their relative power and influence in the global arena. India is considered a middle power in international relations, falling after superpowers and great powers. This classification signifies that India holds significant influence globally but is not at the level of a superpower or a great power. Despite being the fourth most powerful country in Asia, India's overall power score has been declining since 2018 as per Lowy Institute Asia Power Index . Various analyses highlight India's position as a promising new power in the global arena, emphasising its role in shaping international affairs and its commitment to multilateralism. While India has been gaining prominence among middle-rung global powers, achieving the status of a great power will depend on its economic performance, defence industry capabilities, and human development improvements. India’s limitations in funding the Indian Navy is a good metric to figure where she stands in this pecking order.

[@agoodchow]

First statement of Prof Mes addressing to her enquiry was " Multi-polar world now" . Implicit meaning is USA had been down from Superpower to Great power. India may not rank fourth in Asia as you suggested. IMO, India and Japan are now Co-Second in Asia.

[@biggpicture2930]

Prof Yanis Varoufakis : No NO NO!; it is bipolar world- China and USA. His basis- concentration of wealth and ??. Prof Meismeihmer: No it is multi polar- Russia, China and USA. Somebody big but I don't remember: Multi polar is only transitional, but it will be eventually, Bipolar. India: I am also a superpower in this multipolar world

[@biggpicture2930]

If you look at the money aspect. USA can still extract resources from the world through its USD domination. China, paid through its nose to challenge that and now, by having the base to sell things to the world. By maintaining significant technological edge over china, USA can still extract wealth from China. The problem is that it is losing the technical edge as well. In this perspective, it will soon be a unipolar world, unless china is contained in its sphere. If this is possible, then will other countries want the old USD domination system to carry on? Can USA carry on with 80% of the world joining the opposition or being neutral. At least half of the military bases will have to be closed? There is no possibility that USA can carry on, with china even contained within its sphere, so China must be suppressed totally. I think it even impossible for a bipolar world.

[@agoodchow]

@@biggpicture2930 I agree with your points, in parts only. On the big picture, I don't think it is and will be Unipolar or Bi-polar as other suggested. Prof Mes often says that currently USA is top, China is close second and Russia is distant third. The female host Palki had opening question about Uni-Polarity, Prof Mes answered explicitly it is Multi-polar world now. I agree to Prof Mes on both points that very vaguely, it is Tri-polar nowadays. As a whole Chinese traits always lean on the inward looking and reserved ( not outspoken ) mentality, and surely NOT as gutsy and outspoken and fore-coming and initiative as the Russia. China indeed needs Russia on China together to change the USA dominated Uni-polarity even China is far wealthier than Russia. In Israel Vs Hamas, Russia is very bold to stand by Hamas and Palestine, While China dare not exactly follow Russia foot path, see the difference ? Also, Middle East led by Saudi Arabia, Africa led by South Africa as well as India are aspiring to occupy ONE POLE a decade or two or three down the road. And world geography showed EACH of above mentioned countries/regions are territorially -isolated ------- no land border between each other except China-Russia As to EU, not so sure as Europe is somehow directly in one war and indirectly in another war now..
