Emerging market and developing countries vs advanced economies share of world GDP graph, I appreciate it comes from IMF so the speaker is not responsible for its making/validity, but only interpretation and this is my main point that the picture he interprets as being painted is a product of the classification criteria. If instead he had used the World Bank high income vs medium+low income countries classification, then he would get a very different picture of two lines almost moving equidistantly in sync for the same period. Obviously the IMF group of advanced economies encompass approx. 40 economies with a fraction of the world's population and interesting the 50-50 point is 2007 the start of the great recession that wiped out a large part of the advanced economies GDP from which several advanced economies are still trying to recover.
I doubt we can organize a divided political system to unify on its face for the reasons you already know unless you meet the needs of opposition and if they are willing to take the face shot of working with opposing political camps.
The form of government isn't as important as how honest are the people who run that government. China is empire building and they are ready to spend big bucks to do it. China is establishing a natural minerals conveyor belt that brings them base materials and on the return trip send back their factory goods. They are not doing it to be nice, they are doing it to make big money. China doesn't want tv's from Nepal or Saudi Arabia. China isn't looking for noodles from Malaysia. They want to sell railroads to Malaysia. They sell the labor, the locomotives, the freight cars and the signaling systems. So they hand out large loans and get these countries to pay for it all. For China it's win-win, meaning they make money on both sides of the equation.
In the case of Malaysia vs Indonesia you do not bring up Singapore. Singapore fears China while at the same time it is geographically stuck to Malaysia. Maybe one reason for China pouring money into Malaysia is to intimidate Singapore.
lol they're eating while he talks

Too many distractions in this picture, eating and the sound not clear. These make you loose audience in the 1st 2 mins
I watched the entire thing
the easiest way to answer the curiosities is to ask what we already do and why we do it here. For all the same often sinister reasons.

No to China, no to the CCP
It's all about Chinese control of their investments.
