I apologise for this comment being 10 years late, but wow Alice Pung is remarkably gracious and beautiful. God bless you for your wisdom and diplomatic answers. I have so much to say on the topic of racial tension especially anti-siniticism and the Chinese experience in Australia, the Anglosphere, and the Western world. I have training in theology and history and have spent years studying genealogies, migration patterns, the motivation or catalysts for the Chinese diaspora(s), to the specific clans and dynastic origins of each people group. While each group or wave of Chinese migrants are seemingly slightly different on the surface we in fact share a common ancestral history which is despite numerous persecutions, cultural, ethnic, and religious genocides in our history, from dynasty to dynasty (that were not always ethnic native Chinese but invaders) all Chinese throughout the world have retained key self-identifying markers and religious/superstitious practices that are most precious to our sense of existence, self-identifying by clan name, dynasty name, national-political concept, and patron deity. This happens at numerous interweaving intersections throughout Chinese history since the Western Zhou dynasty first entered and invaded China in 1046 BC (arriving from Central Asia and I believe from Persia, Assyria, Greco North India, and originally the Northern Kingdom of Israel formed in the same year of 1046 BC; David D Pankenier and a handful of historians have thoroughly documented this area). I am from Sydney so we seem to get the larger clans from wealthier former aristocratic families here but nevertheless we share common ancestors and forefathers with event the poorest from "ghettos" be they in Melbourne or from the poorest parts of South East Asia. I will focus on this point: House of Pung or Peng 彭, or "Pung Clan ethnicity" 彭氏族, is itself an ethnity group much like a European kingdom. It is not merely 'Chinese' or one of a million of unfortunate "refugees" (though most of us are - or political asylum-seekers) in the seemingly random international Chinese diaspora. No. Unlike many British and European names, like Smith denoting a peasant's trade, it's not an ordinary name or common low-born name but belongs to imperial list of exclusive and protected aristocratic names officially recorded in the Book of a "Hundred Family Names" (百家姓 baat gaa seng), a book that forbade outsiders (various other ethnicities in a cosmopolitan Tang and Song dynasty China - that invented the syllabus structure adopted by world universities via the imperial exam system 科舉) to marry nobles. This was not a blanket racial discrimination act like White Australia policy, or for feudal, political, and governmental reasons only, but was out of strict religious belief concerning allegiance to the God of our people, oaths made by princes to patriarchal ancestors (that some clans still venerate today), and an ancient covenant from biblical times. -- The book was written in the Song dynasty and shares common beliefs and ancestry with the Zhou, Tang, Han, and later Ming dynasties, in worshipping the same monotheistic Shaangdi, symmetrical in belief to Yahwehism, the laws and moral guidelines, musical worship, ritual fasting, prayer, and ceremonial animal sacrifice system as found in the Mosaic Old Testament. Hence such "earthen altars" are throughout key locations in Central China and Imperial capitals, all facing East in the way that Solomon's Temple is built, ready for the "Lord of Heaven", a prophesied future "King". If you can find someone who can read Chinese, preferably Traditional Chinese even Classical Chinese, evidence of this is explicitly detailed in the Book of the Rites of Zhou 周禮 and you will find cross-references verified by the majority of so-called 'Confucian' and 'Taoist' philosophers who cited the same scriptures. Also ironically since the CCP government these texts that were once kept from the masses can be found on ctext.org the Chinese Classical Text Project. Othertwise, hard copies and genealogy books may also exist in some libraries outside of China such as at Yale and Harvard, and you will likely find corroborating evidence of my claims here within the pages of your family/clan history. This was the back story to the dynastic changes such as the Ming Dynasty revolution in 1644 against the Mongolian Yuan dynasty who had invaded in Marco Polo's time. The majority of Southern Chinese, Cantonese, and Yue Language speakers (extending into Vietnam with intermarriages with the Baiyue 百越 population) are victims of Mongolian invasion and political scapegoats of the Yuan and Qing dynasty. Thus, the first "Chinese" who migrated to Australia built temples, societies, community centres, and China Towns, that were named "Sze Yup" 四邑 not "Chinese" in reference to the "4 Counties" these former soldiers/militia originate from, instead the norm to claim to be "Cantonese" (who ere governed by Qing rules from Beijing), from Guangdong, Guangzhou, or Southern China, bc by that point in history after hundreds of years since the Song fell, their identity had already been mostly forgotten, despite Sze Yup people being from the Taishan Province area where the last Song child emperors (3 brothers - of which I am a descendant of the royal House of Chiu 趙) fled to in escaping Mongol assassins and generals. The first "Gold miners" in San Francisco, Mexico/California, and Victoria were all Sze Yup people, descendants of the 200,000 imperial court from Kaifeng 開封 (Song dynasty capital) and Hangzhou 杭州 (Southern Song dynasty capital). The Chinese farms in Sydney along the CB surrounds and Eastern Suburbs mirror the agricultural setups in the Toishan and Canton region. The reason the Gold mining generation focused on attaining "gold" was out of extreme economic oppression and desperation having to pay taxes, fines, reparations, and rescue their family properties, after a series of failed rebellions that the Qing dynasty heavily taxed and punished the failed revolutionaries and their provinces. That is, our ancestors are not solely victims under tyrannical oppression but our miseries are very much self-inflicted also, so Westerners early racially charged criticisms likely contained much truth. American missionary, Arthur Henderson Smith 明恩溥, had the most objectively scathing criticism of Chinese depravity, hypocrisy, injustice, thievery, deception, etc, when our societies were extremely broken during the Qing oppression. We are not totally innocent, the unfortunate victims of happenstance, or victims of poor Australian governance, though these have happened they are consequences of much older sins. Our people are saintly, noble, regal, pious, and have numerous virtues, but at our worse we have an extremely hard heart, stiff-neck, and waxen ears, infighting and betraying family members, turning our backs on our God and oaths made. This is how our parents and grandparents' generation at least got to where they were. They were poor custodians, morally compromised, in a society that was too far gone to be repaired. The majority if not all of those in the Chinese diaspora share common elements of this history, as not merely "Chinese" (modern nationalism and post-imperial identity) but as you'll find amongst almost every "Asian" group are self-labelled on official buildings such as churches, cultural and language associations, etc, as written by the literate and upper class, we are eponymously "Wah People" 華人, from Waa Haa 華夏 (Huaxia), the same "waa" from Jehovah 耶和華, as the covenantal people of God. Our British and Europeans hosts are both our invaders and ironic friends and reminders who confronted a highly broken and depraved society when they arrived (during European/American missionary waves) with an ancient religious past that had either been long forgotten, neglected, abandoned, and for others had dwindled into superstition, divination, witchcraft, and polytheistic idolatry (syncretism), such were the original crimes charged by the Zhou against the former Shaang dynasty people in the 11th and 12th centuries BC. The "Mandate of Heaven" was used to execute divine justice, but the tides totally turned in the last couple of centuries of the British Empire. The vast majority of Australian Chinese even the majority of the older generations will not know this history being culturally uprooted and having to juggle multiple language challenges, let alone being educated in this old education system, but you can read if Australia society, the Anglosphere, the Western Hemisphere, due largely to a foundation in Christendom and Rome, may never understand, accept, or embrace this. This area is becoming my life's work. If you are interested I have the necessary academic support from various scholars in Hebrew and Chinese, as well as my own linguistic and theological analysis, with citiations, analysis and exegesis, etc. Peace and God bless.

The wisdom of the world is madness to God. All the idols will be destroid. Haleluyah ! Come, Lord Jesus !

I think I didn't comprehend until this moment that politicians more often than not start as lawyers. Kevin Rudd spoke as an attorney defending the indigenous population, appealing to both heart and mind

Helen Garner. Honest self deprecating & wonderfully real. Love her too bits ❤

Here 2024 it's close to my heart

Wonderful.

Tariq speaks many well,but he hides the crimes of communism and atheism, for me is not Pakistani but an English communist

Well said, the vasal states in Europe and Australia

Watching this in June 2024.. wow .. ❤❤❤

The Australian is an ahole

What Tariq Ali said 11 years ago is still relevant in 2024. Just look at Joe Biden, he can lose to Donald Trump again because he failed workers and youth. Biden has not changed anything and Trump (despite now a criminal) still has a massive base of support due to his cult of personality.

What a fearless and visionary scholar. The world needs more Tariq Ali today to continue his legacy. 🙏

Amazing what showrunners go through. not only do they have to oversee the writing and story of the entire show, they have to balance cast and crew personalities, navigate the executive world, and fight for creative control.

Her reading of her book "Heiresses" is perfect.I've read both of their books,both terrific.

This is the best lecture about Bourdieu

The answer to the war on men was a woman becoming a Lesbian to punish him

Everything is about sex with these women Like the Freudians

I need the script of this interview.

❤❤❤

A NAZI mass murderer wanted by the international criminal court, addressing his victims!!!

MPW is not messed up. Good for Bourdain in saying it was ok for MPW to do adverts, but bad for saying he "sold out." He did not. He did not contradict any of his values by endorsing a product.

Am proud that Canada landed on one Beach, Juneau, while The US and Britain each landed on two. Canada had one million in uniform; the 4th largest Navy; trained Commonwealth Airmen; 'Intepid', a Canuck, oversaw the formation of US Intelligence, The OAS, forerunner to CIA; and so much else. Gotta give lots of praise to Australia in Asia, where Canada was first to face Japanese at Hong Kong.

It’s so haunting to watch this, now knowing that both of them are gone. Also, is it me or does A.A. Hill sound more British than Scottish? Though I remember when watching a Parts Unknown episode where he was featured and he mentioned being sent to boarding school when he was younger, which could explain why there is a strange mix between Scottish lilt/vowels and cut RP.

Robert storr was the driving force behind the presence of African pavillion in Venice in th 52nd édition of the oldest contemporary art exhibition in the world,and Angola were there...2007

49 mins thantcher was a wig, blair a tory.. same difference

As an American, I enjoyed the content that I could understand, but much of it was inside baseball. In any case, I love the sound of Kenneally’s voice!

Very interesting and broad way of interpretation. Thank you for posting this video. It has been very helpful and instructive.

Excellent explanation with some important clues to "understand" Bourdieu

9:55 why is showerhandle mcgee dissing MPW? is this what he meant by being judged by someone who has less knowledge than him? how many michelin stars did she spurn?

ماذا يقول الآن؟؟ لقد تغير العالم ولم تجري الرياح كما تشتهي السفن

what a sad, self absorbed, compulsive person.

He needs to do a little reading.

Assertion is not argument

Katz man is an embarrassment

John Fitzgerald's argument is asinine!! What is he thinking? That China's rise started from the 7th Century? That they've been poor since then? China's rise started about 1978, not in the 7th century. If you start that far back, there is no rise because they were already on top at least a couple of times! From 1978, what wars has China fought? What territories did they conquer? What bombs have they dropped? This guy doesn't belong on stage let alone called any type of intellectual! What an idiot!

Kate Millet was a psycho and spurred the destruction of modern society.

After hearing this, I wonder how the allies ever managed to win the war.

Interviewer is incredibly obnoxious

rules based order means do what we say or else lol does not actually define what exactly is the rules based order lol

Ask Napoleon

I look young for my age and I'm happy and thankful for that but that doesn't mean my life is easy. I haven't had much sex in like eight years I've never had friends. My family are all crazy. I have two eight year old twins im raising. I am just tired. I get mad too that after 40 which isn't even old women are invisible. It's bull crap. Women that are older have all that wisdom and they are still beautiful ❤️

this girl is lying

Rules-based order? How about the US subscribing to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea? It's one of a small handful of countries that haven't signed it.

Beevor is a wonderful writer and I enjoyed his talk.

"give us everything we want, expect nothing from us" if anyone wants to save some time

Freedy Johnston......also came out of ( non glorious) Kitchens .

RIP 🙏❤️Anthony Bourdain , you are missed.

Lucky USA, and what good have the have done to the world?

Always being misunderstood - I know what she means.

You have to be within yourself.
