The return of China

[@mindtwister1984]

In response to the elderly man question whether China's model is exportable? China is not out to export its ideologies. Its objective is to trade and become prosperous. It is up to countries themselves to adopt whatever political systems they want. The notion of spreading democracy is often used as an excuse for war rather than reason.

[@andyxyz01]

Very insightful.

Great discussion .....

STOP the genocide of the Uihgurs by the vile Emperor Xi for life

[@mhow4967]

Slowly and gradually my vision is getting clearer.

[@vichitvideo6041]

The gentleman seating at the right is the most knowledgeable among the 4 panelists. China's system of governance exportable? No. Each country has to find its own suitable system of governance taking account its historical, cultural background and social needs. China wants to be a regional Hegemon? I don't think so. It wants to be left alone to develop the country according to plan so that Chinese people, who had suffered much during the past 2 centuries, have a better life. The idea that universal suffrage is good for all countries in the world has been proven to a fallacy.

[@mhow4967]

Well said , well, said. Only the intellectual, intelligent people have this view and vision.

[@geoeconomics3067]

What is Vuk Jeremic doing there ?

[@josealbinosantosnogueira6013]

Nuno pereira is confusing Russia with America's stooges in the Middle East. In 2019 52,2% of Russia's exports were Gas and Oil. Saudi Arabia's oil and gas and oil related products represent more than 95%. Roughly the same for the Gulf Countries.

[@guest353]

One speaker has excellent points

[@josealbinosantosnogueira6013]

In 2019 Russia had the 11th GDP (nominal) slightly above South Korea but still comfortably above Spain...

[@josealbinosantosnogueira6013]

@@matcha1693 According to the latest statistics, Russia has for the first time overtaken Germany's GDP PPP

[@josealbinosantosnogueira6013]

@@matcha1693 Germany's GDP is much larger than Russia's (3 times larger, actually) but its GDP PPP is more or less the same with, like I stated in my previous comment, slightly bigger on the part of Russia for the first time. GDP PPP per capita in Germany, however, was in 2019 a bitter higher than 53,000 USD whilst Russia's was hardly above 27 thousand, meaning that the average German's purchasing power is double the average Russian's.

Serbia is not an Eastern European but rather a central European Country.

[@laipoonkenlaipoonken9087]

😂bravo to the panelists

[@wenling3487]

this is much more rationale discusion. I am impressed by Yale Professor's conclusion

[@winkstorm]

“Russia is just a giant gas station with a military attached to it.” LOL 😂

[@SuperTonyony]

And the USA is a bunch of science-denying troglodytes with aircraft carriers.

[@mhow4967]

Slowly and steadily my vision is getting clearer

[@magnaviator]

and US is a military without a gas station.

They have to share the same microphone in this day and age? Oh, I see, this is not taking place in China.

[@affc3675]

Pfft, yeah, they're so lacking, these people who *invented* the microphone.

[@SuperTonyony]

The people in this video invented the microphone? They must be older than they look! Oh, wait...you're just giving them credit for what other Palefaces created! You must be an asshole.

[@The667251]

Deng's quote: "Feel the stone to get through the river." Don't be afraid of making mistakes, focus on the target. "Black or white, as long as it can catch mouse, it's a good cat". Show me the results! "Signal left turn right". Talk noble communism, while practice capitalism, and call it initial stage of communism. "Let a few get rich first." Trickle down economy theory way before Ronald Reagan.

[@matthewlangley9417]

you think a state planned economy using window guidance policy is capitalism? This is too simplistic understanding of Deng "opening up" (typical in IR thought). He copied the Japanese high growth post-war socialist model, established a large decentralised banking system and allowed certain FDI with all the caveats to his command.

[@josealbinosantosnogueira6013]

All gone with COVID 19...

High priest Jesus hegemony

[@mindtwister1984]

Asean is a joke. It neither has a military alliance like NATO nor an econmic alliance like EU to deal with external hegemony. Leaving each member negotiating its relationships on its own terms. It policy of non interference and neutrality leaves all states venerable, rendering its Asean unity meaningless in dealing with external threats. e.g. did Asean send a coalition of forces to enforce its Spratly Island claims? Or was there an economic sanction imposed on Chinese encroachment? Asean can't even provide relief function for its own members, let alone manage big superpowers e.g. And during the displacement of Rohingyas, was there an Asean initiative to provide humanitarian aid like food , water and shelter.

[@soezone208]

Asean is just a mean to provide diplomatic platform, create more regional integration and free trade zone. So it does exactly it mean to do. So It isn't joke. It is not created to become another EU or NATO.

[@geoeconomics3067]

look at NATO does not exist since 2008 Since 2008 its all USA unilateral actions

[@ingtlitto8964]

Asians tend to mind our own business. The west history is filled with war and looting. The whites always were trying to proof they are the most advance species, why so? Their religion is the true religion, why so? Are you guys that insecure?

[@magnaviator]

all military power comes from economics, you are a fool if you think that.
