All the questions asked by the host were based on Western perspectives/perceptions. The guest was extremely competent to answer them without being 'trapped', meaning having to clarify his answers on follow-up questions. I guess it's easy when the country he was representing is on the right side of HISTORY. Even on the China/India border dispute, the answer was so precise that the host could not pose follow-up questions to undermine China's position. It would had been great if the host had allowed the guest to answer his last question for a bit longer, because it would have reminded people especially the Americans that America fought 2 proxy wars with China, but it ended quite abruptly.

THAT is the genius of western propaganda, the world is SO conditioned into viewing the world through western lenses. If you notice the U$ led west ALWAYS start with the premise, they have a RIGHT to judge others, question others, giving approvals to others, they have courts that determines the what asians can and cannot do, whilst conveniently justifying or overlooking their own atrocities not just in the past but current, so often we hear of "we're taking the oil in Syria" (openly declared by Trump), "NS pipelines will be no more, we'll see to that" (Biden), backing of terrorist groups all over the world. YET no one is questioning the west. ALL forums starts with the premise "Will China be a threat?", "China, China, China, Russia, Russia, Russia", "Iran, Iran, Iran", etc, very few forums question the motives and actions of the U$UK led west. Creation of Palestine from thin air, fully backed by U$&UK, taking of Falklands, Hawaii, Diego Garcia, and many more, total gen0cides of natives, reparations, of colonial war crimes are all overlooked and new ones being committed even today , all fully backed by U$andUK.

The one single positive that has come out China is the BIG Question of why Israel plays so much a part in US politics.

My question is, why isn't DC moved to Tel Aviv so they can all save on bus fare?

What if Israel is just a US colony that has very, very, very sweet geographic advantage. It keeps oil nations at bay (Saudi, Iran, Iraq), close to Russia, close to Suez Canal, also keeps Muslims in check and a corridor to Africa. It’s expensive to fund but it has high value in both technology and geopolitically. So I think you got it backwards

If I am not mistaken this host Yongden is or was editor of the South China Morning Post which is a pro US and western Hong Kong daily newspaper. This host says he is Chinese citizen but if not mistaken he is a Tibetan whose family fled to India at the same time as the Dalai Lama. Hence his being born in India. His past articles do expose his anti China stand though currently these sentiments have been cloaked in a more subtle n covert tone and facade of neutrality and subtly pro China stand.. However his facade is rather thin.

Historical facts about Taiwan: 1) The Constitutions of ROC(Taiwan) and PRC(China) both stated that the two regions belong to one country. 2) The current regime of Taiwan evolved from the Chinese civil war after the losing party(KMT) retreated to Taiwan island. 3) Logically, both ROC and PRC are still in the status of civil war and temporary ceasefire, because any war can only be defined as ended when a permanent ceasefire or peaceful agreement is signed. 4) There's no country in the world that could easily eccept its territory being separated by any means. Regardless of ROC or PRC, either by a peaceful negotiations or a brutal decisive war, until a peaceful agreement is signed in order to determine whether which regime will have the legal governance right of the entire Greater China region(TW, Mainland, HK & Macau), or the areas will be separated into two countries. 5) Taiwan(represented by ROC) and China(represented by PRC) are two different regimes. However, it shall not be described together with the territorial integrity and sovereignty of a country. 6) At present, LEGALLY Taiwan is overwhelmingly NOT a country. To be accurate, there are 183 countries that DO NOT recognize Taiwan as a country while 12 countries do. Mentally or spiritually wise, there's no answer whether Taiwan is a country because there's no statistics available. Correct the above if there's any wrong.

They were once one country until the chinese civil war. Was Taiwan and indepedent island before and during the civil war? No. By your argument, south were never a part of the US during US civil war. "All we ask is to be left alone" said the south, and yet the north did not accept and thus the civil war ensued. Imagine the US without the south. Divided United States would not be as strong country as it was, and WWI and WWII could have a different outcome. I would say that is a life and death question, not only for the US, but for the world as well. And United States has never challenged One China principle because they understand and remember well their own history, of their own civil war.

It is not a life or death question for China. It is only a life or death question for the Communist party of China. Why should the Taiwanese surrender themselves under the dictatorship of the Communist party ? They have a working democracy and more prosperity than the average Chinese. Germany was divided after WW2. But Western Germany would have preferred to stay seperated than surrendering to the East German Communist dictatorship. As would South Korea not want to unify with the North for the price of surrendering to Communist rule. The Communist party fears the alternative Chinese democracy on Taiwan, which is a working alternative modell, because the Communist party has no real legitimacy for rule other than the monopoly of violence on the mainland, in contrast to the Taiwanese government which is actually freely elected. If the Communist party wants to solve the unity question it should dissolve itself, because the dictatorship of the Communist party on mainland China is obviously the largest obstacle for peaceful reunification. That is obvious, just the CCP of course would not recognize that.

The Kuomintang (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have never signed a formal peace treaty. Both parties consider themselves to be the rightful rulers of all of China, including Taiwan. After the Chinese Civil War, which took place from 1945 to 1949, the KMT, led by Chiang Kai-shek, retreated to Taiwan while the CCP, led by Mao Zedong, established the People's Republic of China (PRC) on the mainland. Since then, both the KMT and the CCP have maintained their claims of legitimacy and sovereignty over all of China. The KMT, as the ruling party in Taiwan, has historically held onto the idea of "One China" and considers itself the legitimate government of China. They have not formally renounced their claim to mainland China and continue to advocate for eventual reunification under their leadership. Similarly, the CCP, as the ruling party in mainland China, also asserts its claim as the legitimate government of China, including Taiwan. The CCP considers Taiwan a part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. The lack of a peace treaty between the KMT and the CCP, combined with their competing claims of legitimacy, has contributed to the ongoing political tensions and complexities surrounding the issue of reunification between Taiwan and mainland China.

The former ambassador to the U.S., Ciu Tiankai, did not state the facts plainly but knowledgeable analysts attributed the deterrence of American interference in Taiwan by the massive buildups of the Chinese military strength in recent years. Biden's uttermost desire in meeting Xi in Los Angeles was the restoration of military-to-military contacts between the two biggest armies in the world. From the unfolding developments, political strategists see the hesitation on the part of the U.S. in engaging with Chinese troops over Taiwan, especially an unintended mishap that can develop into a full blown warfare where American servicemen are forced to engage, however reluctantly they might be. A defeat at the hands of the Chinese military, as shown in so many studies by American think tanks, means a complete disintegration of U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world, particularly among U.S. followers the likes of Japan, Korea and Australia plus India, the Philippines and all of Southeast Asia. The possibility is so high that military experts are now talking about a possible reduction of American weapon sales to the island province of Taiwan in the months and years to come.

Your actions do not reflect your rhetoric. The disputed islands in the West Philippine Sea are far, far away from the coast of China but are at your "neighbors'" doorsteps. You have built army outposts on reclaimed islands that are far from California but, certainly, are within the territories and EEZs of Asean nations. Your double-speak is why China has Zero Credibility with the rest of the world. Stop basing your foreign policy on what you perceive as your "hundred years of humiliation". Learn to be a world leader that does not derive its power from the suppression of freedoms and the oppression of other nations.

19:38 anxiety stems from wondering what will happen its also excitement To support the questioner the answer is that all countries are working on their homelands to ensure sustainability, self sufficiency , less logistics and waste dumping. Many changes must occur to achieve this and every industry is effected by the changes needed and so to every individual in order to preserve, restore, nurture and care for our world. It is extremely frustrating that repeated mistakes are made, leaders need to have leadership skills and systems need to be corruption free. There is a lot of work to be done but having a common world wide goal ensures a resolution of peace as is it is everyones responsibility. We are all learning, we all care.

There's debate about whether today is better than 2018 or before, as the political landscape has shifted significantly. But Cui is probably referencing the civil unrest of 2019 which drastically affected our lives with widespread violence and destruction. Compared to that and compared to the terrible Covid restrictions that lasted longer than most other regions of the world, today is definitely, tangibly better for Hong Kong.

AI truth answer about Taiwan 🇹🇼: Taiwan, officially known as the Republic of China, is a sovereign country because it has its own government, military, and economy, among other things. The country has its own constitution and holds regular democratic elections, which are separate from those held in mainland China under the Communist Party's rule. Historically, the relationship between Taiwan and China dates back to 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party won the civil war against the nationalist party. Loyalists of the nationalist party fled to Taiwan and established a government-in-exile there, while the Communist Party established the People's Republic of China on the mainland. Since then, Taiwan has functioned independently, and despite China's claims to the contrary, the international community recognizes Taiwan as a separate country with its own government and laws. In recent years, China has increased its efforts to claim Taiwan as its own territory, but Taiwan continues to assert its sovereignty and independence
