- CIS Executive Director, Tom Switzer interviews John Mearsheimer and Kishore Mahubani to ask Has China Won?
At a time when tensions are running high, CIS Executive Director Tom Switzer asked Has China Won? Our debate between John Mearsheimer and Kishore Mahbubani, two of the world’s leading foreign policy intellectuals. Covid-19 has greatly raised tensions between China and the West. Washington and its allies express outrage at the Communist regime’s opacity concerning the outbreak of the coronavirus. Meanwhile, fears are growing that a pandemic that began in the Chinese city of Wuhan may end by increasing Beijing’s international influence and power.
Kishore Mahbubani is author of Has China Won? The Chinese Challenge to American Primacy (just out, PublicAffairs) A former Singaporean ambassador to the United Nations (twice), he was the founding dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. He was a guest of CIS in September 2018.
John Mearsheimer is author of The Great Delusion: Liberal Dreams and International Realities (Yale University Press, 2019) and The Tragedy of Great Power Politics (Norton, 2014.) He is professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago. He was a guest of CIS in August 2019.
Tom Switzer, has written for the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, The Spectator, Financial Times, Foreign Affairs, The National Interest, The American Interest and The American Conservative. He has also appeared on CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, Sky News, SBS, Seven, Nine, Ten and ABC radio and television. He hosts Between the Lines on the ABC's Radio National.

The question is not if China will rise peacefully. The question is if China would be allowed to rise peacefully.
hahah, right, China never wants to invade other countries, but USA navy and air force always enter south China sea and Esten China sea to make trouble.
The question is not if China will rise peacefully, the question is if US will go down peacefully.
The question is not if both USA and China will be allowed to create supremacy but rather it's the other countries that will decide who will win.
yes, and for that China would need to reach venezuela and cuba - help these nations develop nuclear weapons and create problems for china in its own hemisphere.
help argentina develop weapons to take back falklands
the five eyes need to be taught a lesson.
@@user-gf6ej9rz8p - because china do not have any air craft carrier in the past. Now is a different story.
The question is not if China will rise peacefully, the question is if US will go down peacefully.
John Mearsheimer's argument for why the US are going to win: we always won before, we will win again. I think that is the point at which all great empires collapsed...
John Mearsheimer: US will win because US won before
Kishore Mahbubani: China will raise peacefully because China was peaceful before
Me: GME price will raise because it raised before 🙈
Actually, after World War II, US never won any wars.
what about demographics?
John is a briiliant student and teacher, but his perspective is clearly skewed; his presumption is that all world powers behave the same way is flawed and incorrect. Take off your American "we are the only superpower" glasses and see 5000 years of Chinese history. China ain't a wannabe America. Kishore has a more balanced perspective..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
John Mearsheimer was simply knocked out by Kishore !
I don't think so. John explained the U.S. strategies very well. And now the reality confirmed what he said which is the U.S. has more military bases in Asia
And keep selling more weapons in Asia.
@@birdyashiro1226 Yeah, that's like having a 50% mark on a test. He explained how America works very accurately, but he explained how China works falsely.
Well it was supposed to be my last comment, but in the last 60 years China has worked hard while the West have been running their mouth.
Yup, they did their best to defy WTO laws.
@martinsaint, give me the figures idiot! The birth rate was around 1.3-1. 5% in the last decade in China! giving birth overseas accounts for only less than 0.001% in the last decade, part of which are for individual family reasons.....!!
Yes the normal Chinese not the CCP that works hard. I hope you do know that all the rich people in China are well connected with the CCP. I think you are one of them or are working for the CCP, yes ?
Yes they worked hard with western knowledge and now they use that,and by western choice when they practically gave them jobs amd money

You're absolutely correct. Addition, the Western, especially the U.S. & Australia as minion are trying to contains / blocks the raise of China ( naturally ) by and always accustomed to using disgraceful politics and smearing methods to play with almost anything, anyone, anywhere in order to achieve their goals _ regardless of facts, conscience, nature, science, etc. and ultimately. . Just how naive, shameless, farce and nonsense. In short, when a man and girl fall in love with each other, he or she is obsessed by saying most beautiful words with each other .... then gets married. For some reason or a deliberated to force a divorce. Next, one of the conspiracies will make or fabricate the most dirty, nasty or even the most inhuman and immoral things to accuse the other party (maybe a poor victim)! On the other hands, people of the Far East (Chinese) have traditional self-cultivation, received family education at childhood and shame, they have rarely done such a thing to corrupt ( his or her ) themselves reputation, typically their family and clan reputation.**
This is deep, "Australia is in Asia not Canada"
Because it's much easier to protect Canada than Australia in the eye of America, Hence "Australia is in Asia, not Canada". And it's easier doing business with Asian countries than Americans in the eye of Australia. It's a double-edged sword if you're in Australia. Everyone knew what Kishore was talking about, maybe not you.
I am Canadian and I wish Canada would move away from America.
@@HKChineseCanadian
If Canada fulfils your wish to
" move away from America ", which country would accept Canada's vast exports diverted from USA ? Currently Canada also exports substantial crude oil via a pipeline from Alberta to an oil terminal on the US gulf coast. The only buyer of this oil would be China, but that would need a new pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver BC. Such a pipeline approval would be impossible on environmental grounds.
Australians would not be doing what they are doing if they were not white, they are not serving Australia, they are serving white peopel
But Chinatown is everywhere ... just joking.
I may be wrong but 8min in, John & Kishore have already demonstrated the key differences between western and eastern thinking. Kishore put this very succinctly - back when China was the absolute dominating force in the world, it had no motivation to control/colonize other regions the way the western nations did. It is simply not the dominating thought in the Chinese mindset to control others unless it feels threatened and do so out of self defense. John on the other hand, "China would be crazy to not dominate Asia the way U.S. has dominated the western hemisphere..." case in point. Please don't project your bias/inclinations onto the eastern mind.
John doesn't really understand the Asian mentality, the way of doing things that's so very different from the West.
Ķ
yup. China had enough trouble keeping it together and the lands w/ best lands were within China (before the use of oil, industrial revolution, etc). Anywhere they might go was either rocks, tundra, jungle, desert, etc. John Mearsheimer needs to respond to this point. Although, the Manchu expansion into Tibet could be considered hegemony, don't think they understood control of water sources back then.
However, he does have a point (maybe from another vid, get them mixed up now) that intentions don't matter; a hegemon such as the US needs to be wary of capabilities because you never know what kinda nutjob could come in power some day (as happened in Germany a couple times).
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes, it is surprised to hear that from John, he still have the mindset that China want to conquer or dominate the world like the West. and the example of he mentioned US won over Germany, Nazi, Japan, Soviet Union, all those 4 power is crazy for power. But China isnt going that way, China is totally different kind of competitor that US has never met.
Mearsheimer's words showed us the US's last, desperate struggle to keep its USA exceptionalism, which translates into wars, killings, and subversions.
If you are implying Mearsheimer is supporting US hegemony, you need to hear his all other lectures especially on Russia and Ukraine.
He is a realist through and through. The Indian origin sellout is exactly that, that's why you may be thinking otherwise.
@@Captain_Sosuke_Aizen
That's because he think Russia is not their major competitor. He want the US and Russia should be on the same side to contain China.
He think it is not in the ukrainian's interest to alliances with America to provoke Russia.
At the same time, he think it is in Australia's, Japan's, and especially Taiwan's interest to provoke China.
He is not objective, because he is on the US side.
I watch this because of Kishore. Without him, it is a waste of my time. I am from south east Asia but we are not afraid of China. Please get this right.
You are absolutely spot on, it takes an Asian to understand China though not absolute all such as Japanese...and Vietnamese...
Kishore speaks with humility whereas John subscribes himself to a flawed view of the international political scene from the American point of view. Let us not forgot that Russian leaders have adamantly opposed NATO enlargement in Europe especially Ukraine and the US role in the Middle East has always expanded now in the South China Sea. John is more on offensive realism which seeks power and influence to achieve security through domination and hegemony. That is why he favours containment.
@@yuanhaochue2889 Why is it that China has no friends apart from perhaps Pakistan and this in itself speaks volumes.

1. Get rich (Everyone on the planet deserves to live a better life.)
2. Keep the money we earned (No one dares rob us again.)
I totally agree with Mr. Mearsheimer on the century of humiliation. This is one of the reasons holds us together nowadays.

@@smnyhl6241 As Chinese, I totally agree with you. Now China is an absolute capitalist country, but most of the western do not know.
John and Kishore are both realists and great strategic thinkers. Kishore has a clearer view as a 3rd party observer of the US and China competition. US has fallen into the hegemon trap, which resulted in "endless wars". The US can do much better by 1) facilitating technology innovation and excellence, and 2) embarking on a pan-am initiative or hemisphere initiative. Based on immigrant tradition, US can do a lot in the western hemisphere and both North and South Americas.
This is one of the best debates I have heard on this subject
I don't see any security concern if Austrlia does not join US containment of China. I do see the economy concern if Austrilia Follow US on the containment.
It is maybe a right political decision for these politicians, but it is defientlly a bad governmental decision especially after this crazy pandemic, we will see pretty soon.

@@zhangyi5145 Australia will willingly follow the USA because it is the moral and ethical thing to do due to the circumstances.

My ThumbsUp
The 2 debater Kishore & Mearsheimer exactly depict the Asian outlook & Western outlook of the world. One the Western view points it is the survival of the fittest the stronger one will walloped the weaker one. I am just being candid here the Western always look at winner take all...Asian doesn't look at it this way there is always a path to co-existence which can benefits both....that is being Civilize. That is what former Malaysian PM Mahathir said "We have been China neighbor for thousands of year yet China have never Colonised or Conquered us...but when the Western came via Portuguese, Conquered us withina few yrs" follow by....Dutch, British, French....within a few years there Conquered & Colonised everyone in Asia wow what a revaluation!!!!!
I really like Kishore's rationale and pragmatic solutions to potential conflicts. No wonder he was a top diplomat in UN security council. Need more peacemakers like him. My salute to you good sir!
Meh, kind of sounds like India'sversion of Neville Chamberlain
John Wayne
I think Kishore has theoretical brilliance in rationalizing & producing solutions to potential conflicts. But, I believe, he is so dazzled by China's exponential rise , that he has overlooked or has not understood CCP'S strategic aims to conquer & dominate the world without firing a shot
.
As we all know by now, the
CCP'S has repeatedly used a devious means to achieve its strategic objective: viz. debt- trap for financial colonisation of weak nations in Africa, Asia, Latin Anerica, etc.
What Kishore also seems to ignore is China is regularly using its financial & military firepower to bully etc and dictate terms to weaker nations for trade & infrastructure deals ....these nations, being dependent on China's domination of the global supply chain, often end up surrendering their strategic land or their key infrastructure
assets.
This is economic & financial colonialism imposed by China by devious backdoor methods. .....If Kishore finds this colonisation of the world by China " without firing a shot" a " rationale " way to avoid US intervention & loss of influence in countries of strategic & security interest to USA, then , certainly , China has avoided a potential conflict with US in the SHORT TERM ONLY.
Sooner or later , US will wake up & challenge China aggressively when its long term interests are threatened by China's ( debt trap ) back door colonisation of the world . Hence, Kishore's " pragmatism " to avoid potential conflict between China & US has NO LONG TERM validity.

If kishore doesn't give australians the chills, I don't know what would. A person like Kishore takes a lot of delight in making the australians quake in their boots.
Kishore is a paid CCP troll, I am sure there are similar people in Australia
He is blunt, he doesnt sugar coat. Australia has been hyping up "China threat" and the recent behaviours by Australian administration are a great concern to Chinese.
1. Solomon Islands hype up.
2. Nuclear Sub deal with US, which has been rebuked by Keating, is not a defence deal.
3. Various fearmongering Chinese PLA army videos played on media.
4. Lack of diplomatic talks.
So his blunt response that Australia needs to rethink their diplomatic strategy is a perfect response to the question posed by the interviewer who asked him why is China doing trade ban with Australia.
@@Vlog-hu8gb I disagree he is a CCP troll.
Kishore is a realist and an optimist.
Realist because he sees China's growth potential to become an economic super power, he also sees India's growth potential. Mearsheimer says China will try to be a regional hegemony, which I think is not easy, because of the very fact that China is near other great power like Russia which it is heavily dependent, and there's India which also has great potential.
Additionally, he sees as I see, that China doesnt want conflict. China has another 30-50% of development to do. Entering into a military conflict will stall the international trade, look at Ukrainian conflict. China wants peace, peace promotes trade, and right now China is the world factory, its also building BRI trade routes to facilitate trade.
Optimist, knowing the above two points, he is hoping that China would be able to rise peacefully, but the real question is Would US hegemony die peacefully? Like Mearsheimer says US is hell bent on containing China. Right now US is trying to wreck Russia, which is China's "no limit" partner. US is also arming Taiwan, preparing Aus-China conflict, India-China conflict. I would think China's peaceful rise is not possible, because US wouldnt allow it, but Kishore is an optimist and he believes that Chinese administration is capable of tactfully managing US aggressive foreign policy.
Footnote: China brokered a peace deal of a decade long conflict between Saudi and Iran. Reports are Russia is close to brokering Syria-Turkey peace deal. Which would essentially mean stability on Northern Middle East.

A problematic issue I see with John's argument in this interview is his stance on Taiwan/West relations vs Ukraine/West relations.
When discussing Ukraine, John believes the best way to have avoided the current crisis is for Ukraine to have either remained neutral or went pro-Russia since it's neighbors with Russia.
However, when discussing Taiwan, he believes it's best for Taiwan to side with the West, despite China being its neighbor.
I wonder why the stance is different. I'm guessing it's because John theorizes that Russia would have been OK if Ukraine was just economically friendly with West and not associated with NATO. This is also assuming Russia wouldn't have invaded Ukraine on the basis of the civil war in the east.
But what of Taiwan? Would China have been OK with Taiwan if it was only pro-West economically and didn't have a military relationship with the US?
first thing that would happen is Taiwan became independent is that they will ask the U.S to setup a military base there with Nuclear missile ready. This would be an existential threat. And the Chinese will not let that happen
@@ruoyuli4091 if it's an existential threat when Taiwan is independent, what's stopping them from doing it now?
@@StrongbyLee US wouldn't let that happen, because it is much more valuable for Taiwan to continue to remain as a conflict or bargaining chip. Do you know Sun Tsz's Art of War about defeating enemy without fighting? Look at how Ukraine served as US's pawn in weakening Russia, without US committing much into the war themselves? Then you might understand why US would prefer Taiwan issue to be a loose end.
Mearsheimer is a realist. He sees the world the way it is, not the way we may wish it to be. Staying neutral would have been a viable strategy for Ukraine vis a vis Russia. Finland has done it, same with Sweden. Ukraine was fine staying neutral until 2014. In Taiwan’s case, neutrality is simply not on the table. It’s not a matter of whether Taiwan is aligned with the west or not. Even if it wasn’t, China would want it back. China simply believes Taiwan is theirs. And of course the island holds enormous geostrategic value. Neutrality has never been an option the way it was with the Ukraine.
@@mensrea1251 I agree. I guess after the dissolution of the USSR, Ukraine claimed soverignty and was given it. Taiwan, on the other hand, was founded by an opposition party who engaged in a civil war, and there was no formal ceasefire, and is still considered a part of China.
I wish John would have specified these points because I'm sure it will lead to a lot of confusion in future if the US and China ever fight over Taiwan; it is NOT a sovereign state, so therefore it doesn't have the same right to sovereignty as Ukraine did.

And you said the West did not steal? It stole land, people, resources, dignity, humanity, livelihood, all because they have fire power. And then you say it's only a handful of western powers do that?

China has played its game the same for 30 years. Use their huge labor base to outsource all if America's productive capacity to them, use that to fuel GDP growth, which they then turn around and use to build infrastructure for their own people, thereby raising a generation of incredibly smart people who bolster their enormous tech and engineering sector.
Because of that, they now are not reliant on US capital to pursue projects, allowing them to use surplus' they have to give money to other nations disillusioned with America.
Now they have built ports, rail, roads, and all this crucial economic infrastructure while America privatized every social security net they had, resulting in a generation of Americans disenfranchised from their own nation, and because of a lack of investment in public education, the people of America are pretty dumb to be honest.
Now the board is set as China has many positive relations with foreign countries, as well as the infrastructure and currency to defeat the USA without firing a shot.
They need only get more than half the world to switch to their currency, isolate America financially, and squeeze the west with in fighting as western nations decide whether to stay with American dollars and trade routes, or side with China.
America put all of its cards into conventional weapons of war EVEN AFTER THEY INVENTED the device that made conventional war impossible between any nation that has it.

Carter then said the U.S. has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation. Counting wars, military attacks and military occupations, there have actually only been five years of peace in US history.

China has around 18,000 miles (29,000 km) of high speed rail lines while the US has “wasted, I think, $3 trillion” on military spending.

Listening to this old discussion, it so real that Meisheimer epitomizes the war mongering USA who
1. Cannot bear to lose its imperialist and hegemonic status when he insist that USA will do anything to contain and destruct China based on fear, jealousy, lies and anger
2. How USA is the king and colonial master of Australia when Australia really did forego its prosperity for security (remember how he threatened, humiliated and cowed Australia in his talk in Australia)when Australians were thwarted from exporting to China and foolishly agreed to an Auskus deal where its prosperity is taken away by US and UK for some outdated subs.
So much for a lap dog Scumo to boot when USA sells to China what Australia abstained from.
Americans had the pleasure of choosing who to run American policies every 4 years which actually are the same regardless of GOP or Demos in charge. They continue to decline and go into poverty, enjoy decaying infrastructures and being ruled by plutocrats.
My respect to Kishore..He is the present and future representation of WORLD PEACE as Meisheimer is the Past as a disrespectful warhog and bully.
Meisheimer is realistic
You're completely wrong on Mearsheimer. He illustrates, as a realist international relations thinker, what in his view Great Powers have done in the past, continue to do in the present and will do in the future. He considers that all the wars the US has fought, or sponsored in the past 30 years have been bad ideas from a policy standpoint; he does not get into morality, that's not what he's talking about. He's a liberal democrat but believes that the US fighting wars to spread liberal doctrine has been a foolhardy foreign policy strategy, that is ideological, not realist. With all due respect, you cannot be at all familiar with him to consider him to be a "war monger".

Fully agree with Kishore on Eastern way of dealing power. Only one conundrum with his theory: how to explain the behavior of Japan during WW II?
Surely Japan was not peaceful internally and tried to conquer to Korean peninsula. However, when the potential power they possess very large, they may change their behavior like Japan back then. In this way, the West especially US has very understandable reason to worry issues may come from Pacific side by project that historical experience.
in this case ,nobody win! But I really want to know how Australia feels when he knows that his American brother exports beef to China and makes a lot of money.
A lot of Australians have taken note and realize the U.S. has back stabbed us. So we are now little more sceptical of america and no longer trust like we use to. But we still trust china even less. Having that said, our approval of both superpowers has gone down over the years but we are way more distrusting of china than we are with the united states.
@Black Knight I wasn't asserting that this incident was abnormal nor unexpected when it comes to free trade and the viewpoints weren't in just "my eyes," the general sentiments in respects to China and Australia were recorded statistically, at least to gauge general sentiments. People still view America favourably in relation to China, it's just favourable viewpoints decreased steadily for both countries.
And on the point of "everyone kicks and puts down America," first off, people still view China unfavourably in relation to America, so China still is dealing with the brunt of poor reputation; secondly, this is the natural consequence of all superpowers: scepticism and poor reputation as an abuser of power as well as an opportunist are natural occurrences for all hegemonic powers; thirdly, as Australians, we should be noting the fact that our trade was essentially taken from us; are you suggesting that we should remain quiet and just accept. "Oh it's free trade, that's what we should expect."
We can't do anything against America but at least we should be realistic about international affairs at least for the sake of making decisions as a democracy to garner choices that would serve us, not for other countries.

The only way a kinetic war can be avoided is if China can maintain a credible nuclear deterrence. The Soviet Union was top heavy, she had the nukes but collapsed economically. Right now China is bottom heavy, she has a superior economic base...she must build a military that is commensurate with her economic power.
If China wants to rise peacefully, She must have the military power to Allow her to do so, because the West, America in particular cannot, will not, allow a competing power to rise without the threat of war...China must remove that option by making a kinetic conflict Unacceptable.

I think Kishore has been forced to excel himself. Containment, containment , containment. I have never before heard it stated so explicitely by Meirsheimer. So China must accept the USA as funnily "a regional hegemon" in "the world" and not rise to challenge the USA. China must know its place and be like Japan and S Korea subservient to the USA forever? Has Meirsheimer lost his mind?
I don't think that Meirsheimer is saying that American containment of China is the ideal situation. I think he's arguing from a realist's perspective that says whether it's the right thing to do or not, it's what the U.S. is going to try to do.
I think the argument would have some merit if the PRC wasn't run by the most thuggish dictatorship that blends the worst of radical Left and Right into its politics: the opposition to religious faith and the international imperialistic ambitions of the Communist Left, and the ethnically rooted ultranationalism under a dictator for life of the Fascist Right. I don't oppose China rising, per se: I oppose the influence of what can only be described as the evil Chinese Communist Party from gaining a greater foothold in international politics.
Alan Friesen, that’s exactly it. Hugh White of Australia says it’s not going to work and that the US will eventually withdraw from Asia. I tend to agree with Hugh because the US will not be able to build a containment coalition. The US tried already with TPP and led its partners down the primrose path for a decade only to withdraw at the last minute. So in Vietnam for example, the conservative pro China camp has gained power over the liberal pro America side.
@@richiesd1 Time changes perceptions: the perception in the Obama era was that the USA had gone a bit soft despite its rhetoric. Trump has altered that perspective, although he also did some damage with allies. Essentially, all that Australia needs is time to develop a nuclear deterrent. We have heaps of Uranium, we have good physicists. As long as the US remains firm until we can do so, we could be more self reliant, in defence terms, if it withdraws from the region. That would make it far harder for the CCP to exert military force in our direction, and strengthen our diplomacy.
Philip Crouch, if you read Hugh White, you will see that he’s advocating a go-it-alone way for Australia. That would mean more military spending at great cost. I don’t think nuclear weapons, but a stronger defense for sure.
The USA will withdraw so it would be a mistake to do the bidding of America’s geopolitical ambitions. Australia needs to find a way that is neither pro USA or China. That’s actually safer for Australia because Australia is geographically in Asia.

I have no doubts Mr. Kishore, a Singaporean Indian being born and bred in multi-culture Singapore that have about 70% Chinese population, understand the Chinese minds better than Mr. Mearsheimer who might have visited Beijing numerous times in his adult years. From what I heard, Mr. Mearsheimer is far from understanding the Chinese. The Chinese believes the Pacific Ocean is big enough for all. China would like to trade with all countries in the world and have safe passages. Unlike USA, they have no interest in hegemonism. After all, they know what is like to be stepped on.

The key here is the interpretation of 'domination' - I agree with John that China will have its Monroe doctrine regarding SE Asia, or becoming the dominate power in Asia. But does it bring a war in the region? I highly doubt that - if the US can act reasonably in China's view. If US deviates too much from rationality, a war is surely possible. However, I do think this is a very unlikely.
Many want to, but nobody can. Very simple
Mr. Kishore is indeed a gentleman n wiseman
The overwhelming majority of Americans hate Chinese. Bad days lie in store for Chinese in America.
chly coh That was then and this is now. 1984 was a lifetime ago. China and America are both building up forces in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. The US Navy is even operating in the Yellow Sea. Sooner or later one side or the other will miscalculate. Miscalculation is the handmaiden of war. There are millions of Americans unemployed and helpless because of China’s decision to infect the world with the Wuhan Virus. They blame China. So far China has killed 85,000 Americans. Their deaths at Chinese hands create a blood debt that will fall on Red Chinese such as yourself. America must have revenge. And Chinese present in America are the logical targets for revenge. My Chinese friends asked me what they should do to avoid harassment or attack. I’ve told them to tell people they are Taiwanese. Red Chinese in America are no different than German Nazis. Red China cannot protect you while you are present in North America. The US Govt. is scooping up Red Chinese spies. “...ask not for whom the Bell tolls for it tolls for the thee.”

I agree. But I don't think china will get it. Not without a war. You have to remember China GDP is 12.5 trillion annually. And have 1.4 billion people. The US have 19 trillion GDP and only 330 million people. The US is not only 6 trillion annually richer than China. But also have a larger GDP per capita.

China-Thailand relations officially started in November 1975 after years of negotiations. ... China remains as an important ally to Thailand, partly because of its influence and prominence in the region. Thailand participates fully in international and regional organizations. It has developed close ties with other ASEAN members-Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam-whose foreign and economic ministers hold annual meetings. Blinkin's cut off trip was blamed on covid, but the word is that these countries, ASEAN want nothing to do with the US problems with China. China is their friend. Harris in Vietnam was a disaster and head of Vietnam called in some representative of China right after she left. He also had to tell the press to leave when Harris started to trash China. I mean, in VIETNAM? US dropped Agent Orange on them. China never did anything like that.

John: china is becoming more and more powerful, other countries should unite with US to contain it...
Question: what's the logic behind it? I mean US is powerful, why no other countries containing it?
Because they are White and just🙄😁😂😂
What John is doing is terrorizing American allies to enforce them to obey as always. Then he's threatening any potential enemies or rising regional powers. But ruling by fear and intimidation will fail one day when their claws are not as sharp as they was
@@murphymurph8282 where do you get the sense that he's terrorizing allies? Threatening?
I assume you believe in state sovereignty. Are you saying those who ally with us do so under duress? His basic argument for the Ukrainian conflict is that it broke out because the Ukrainians did not act strategically WITH Russia when they have many opportunities to.
In a way, the strategy argument makes sense. Who wouldn't want to align themselves with great powers, even if they're located on the other side of the globe? At the same time, how do you resolve the military issue of countries, because I assume that's what you're referring to be "terrorizing".
Because he is a racist.
@@StrongbyLee cool
How did NATO Alliance worked out in Afghanistan???
I respect both of the speakers with valid points on both sides.
If you follow Mearsheimer's earlier works he talks about why leaders lie and one reason is to build a case for war. I wonder how much is fear mongering and threat inflation against China and how this can become a self fulfilling prophecy.
Mearsheimer also proposed a solution with Ukraine whereby it remains a buffer between Russia and Europe and abandons any ideas of joining NATO (which would have brought NATO right up to Russia's doorstep). The idea being Putin would feel less threatened by Nato expansion and it could de-escalate both sides, Could the same be said of Taiwan? The more Taiwan talks of independence the more threatened China will feel and the tensions rise. Is it better to maintain status quo and pull back on the independence rhetoric to de-escalate? It's not fair or ideal for the Taiwanese who want independence but realistically it might be better for peace in the region and avoiding a war.
Chinese saying The Bullied can sleep soundly whereas the Bully cannot sleep peacefully bcos they are aware that revenge will come anytime. This is the position of Japan

Kishore brilliant? BS . This is now the new world of human rights and freedom. If ever China is a free and democratic country like most the world society then l think China can be one of the great country of the world. Hi Kishore, why don’t you move over to the Communist China and see how’s life is like? China wants to be the world power? Before coming to that, they are already bullying neighboring countries. SCS. Covid-19 , Why China shut down all internal flights in China but not Internationally ? Don’t ever forget, CCP China is corrupt abuse to people of China. If the USA wants to dominate China, it will have done it lJuong time ago. US and Western world are trying to help Chinese but the Communists see that as a danger to their power. Misinformation and all the censorship in China, what do you think,Kishore? What happens to the doctors that reported the Covid-19cases in the beginning in Wuhan? Kishore your thinking of the world view now are out dated. Communist, Dictator,and Facist system for the world are not for the people of human rights and freedom. Those systems of governing the people of the free world has been done. Please keep that in mind.

Regarding Uyghur which western like to label it as labor camp. I can place alot of sources to counter argue but I believe none will take it seriously, however this will top it all.
Who know more about Muslim then Muslims themselves. They all been there to check it out, and they agreed with the method of reeducation. Unless you prefer US method of putting them in Guantanamo Bay prison which is notorious of inhuman act conducted there.

Most Muslims countries side with China whereas those disagree are happened to be all Westerners.
If you still choose not to believe, by all means go there and see for yourself, talk to the local.
One more note, you do not represent the majority of the people nor the world, to think is in itself arrogant.
HK repression are no more by their own action. China did not partake on it.
Since we come to the topic of Uyghur
Because of the real fear and past attacks where many hundreds were killed including both Chinese and Uyghur, China now has a pre-emptive policy rotating part of the population through vocational training centres.
Many Uighurs have left China porous western border for military training and partake in jihads or joined various terrorist groups such as ETLO, ETIM, TIP, etc, for many decades. These battle hardened terrorists returning may strengthen the terrorist groups and poison an entire generation in their society. Of 18,000 Uighurs in Syria, 5000 are fighters, and some were even held in US Guantanamo camp.
And those groups are deadly and serious, causing multiple terrorist attacks. Just listen to their chilling words:
"If you do not wage jihad, you will never be able to get rid of the oppression of the infidels which makes you abandon the religion and which makes slaves of you. Thus, you will not be able to be rescued from the oppression of this world and the torments of the hereafter, or find eternal happiness until you return to the religion of Allah. . ." - Abdul Haq (Memetiming Memeti), a commander in the Uyghur separatist movement Turkistan Islamic Party (East Turkestan Islamic Movement)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdul_Haq_(ETIP)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkistan_Islamic_Party
"We have to conquer our own country and purify it of all infidels. Then, we should conquer the infidels' countries and spread Islam. The infidels who are usurping our countries have announced war against Islam and Muslims, forcing Muslims to abandon Islam and change their beliefs." - Abdullah Mansour, current leader of the Uyghur separatist movement Turkistan Islamic Party (East Turkestan Islamic Movement), from "The Duty of Faith and Support," Voice of Islam/al-Fajr Media Center.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_Mansour
West and Allies. The West and allies has really messed up the Middle East - nurturing Al Qaeda, ISIS, and perpetuating the endless wars, cyclical violence and rise of radical Islam. After trillions of USD later, there is still a lust for jihads, and that cancer has spread into China.
China Policy and Actions. In crackdown, China has sealed the border tightly, enhanced surveillance, and apprehended 13,000 terrorist suspects.
And the vocational training is to wean them from other counter productive activities and make more economically more productive. Plus, proverty is also one of the main cause of terrorism and this is why China trying to quicken the progress of develop at that area.
Remember once, Chechnya was always a favorite and supported by MSM and the West for decades.
www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-18190473
China will not let Xinjiang become the same as Chechnya,
China is prepared to take international hits in doing such a bold huge alternative solution - a costly social experiment to inoculate or insulate against what she perceived as real and present dangers or to advance the basic well being at least economically - as part of nation wide poverty alleviation strategy and ‘Develop the West’ policy) - and hopefully even to boost social integration and stability.
Ultimately, China wants peace and stability. And not something like this.

China has some very clear ideas of what is and is not acceptable in this topic. Most people are surprised to find out that registered protests are perfectly fine and happen all the time. There are roughly 500+ protest every single day in China for major and minor issues (there was a protest in a compound I lived in because they were increases the cost of utilities).
The Chinese government is also always doing market research and asks for feedback. As far as I can tell it is a “key performance index” based on who is giving feedback, so they love getting feedback from people to improve themselves
Do they allow criticism? Yes, obviously. They have to, else they (official positions) would be overthrown. But more importantly, they need criticism from THE CITIZENS to self-correct themselves constantly. And they would welcome it even more if the criticism comes with a viable solution they can work on. But once again, if the intent of the criticism is to create social unrest, incite a rebellion/seperation of the state, or using this tool for self-interest with malicious intent towards the collective interest of the State and/or the citizens of the PRC, why they should not jail you up and put you away?
From my knowledge, all the governments in the world have some form of laws that limits criticism against themselves. It is naive to think that you can go about criticizing without limits.

China is behaving with the best character presentation at the moment right now in the world.
Time changed and Australia and others have to recognize it
My observation is that we Asians are outnumbered in this debate hosted by a very close alliance of US. Professor John is reaching his decision with a very clear American way of marshalling the world in the Western way. Sadly this debate has not been fair to the Asian side without accepting the repetitive advice that Kishor asking the West to look at the situation from the Asian Point of View. Nobody wants a war even if they think a friendly Giant has grown in their neighbourhood. The American has been hostile to show the military might in a foreign region Which IT has Not Understood fully.
I agree. John M is just pushing through with such a brief history and very ignorant view
What's wrong with creating alliances? How do you resolve the issue of military conflict? Why even have strategic alliances if there was no physical conflict?
Even if everyone wants love, peace, and prosperity for all, we can't erase history, culture, religion.
Do you believe Taiwan wants to side with the US or China? Perhaps they want to be independent, but China around, do you think that's possible?
What about Ukraine? John has made it clear that Ukraine SHOULD have sided with Russia. That's clearly not a pro-US side. In fact, he states that the West bears the responsibility for the Ukrainian conflict.
@@StrongbyLee The US will never look at Asian states as equal players, even on their closest Asia ally: Japan.
Asia needs unity, we haven't gone to any major war instigated locally. We should maintain that and focus on prosperity and economic growth
Agree. I found John M's pov very tiring. He's american, so it is in his interests to 'contain' china. but that's not in ours at all, as asians in this region.
54:06 John: “America is an incredibly rich country“. How arrogant you have to be saying that with audacity, my goodness, how many trillions in debt? Without the ability to print money and letting the world to shoulder the mighty $, it would be bankrupted many times over.
I agree with you, the US almost bankrupted if it wasn't for China helping the US during the 2008 financial crisis. The American's never mention any about that.
:@@Lotus.F You are correct, mind you this site is owned or the property of the Pentecostal Church & they only view their followers.
There is no limit to printing money and passing on inflation to other developing countries, as the us has done before.
It's not as simple as that I'm afraid. The extent of US debt is a reflection of its enormous power, economically, politically, militarily and technologically. You know creditors have a choice over who they wish to lend to.
Will James obviously, but do you think the productivity of US workers resulted in the high standard of living? There is no way that is the case. We enjoy the high standard of living is based on the dollar being a reserve currency everyone on the earth have to use for trade, that enables us to print money as we wish without worrying the consequences. When we import from China and enjoy that half trillion deficits we simply print the paper money and get the goods.
Can China rise peacefully?
Thanks Kishore for given the answer accurately. We the Asians are proud to have you for having the indepth historical knowledge of Asia without bias.
My reminder to John Mearsheimer have you ever realised why do CHINA suddenly rises so aggressively? Of course you may not want to admit it, if you do it will be having a slap on your own face as you had already published books praised so highly on your America. Been a patriotic to your own beloved country no one will blames you for that because WE ALL DO.
CHINA had been constantly bullied by the Western Worlds for almost two hundred years. While they were having their own civil wars throughout among their own emperors with each others, than came the Opium wars, the Japanese invasion at the same time with the KMT as well as the Korean war which was in fact China fighting with the Americans.
With all this bullying, discriminating, provocating, interfering, accusations and what not had infact awaken up CHINA to realised Enough is Enough
and with the right leadership within this periods "A NEW CHINA WAS BORN". started off with very severe poverty having just enough to eat and had saviour the hardest period of times and are now abled to stand tall. All this credit goes to those supremacy bullies or else CHINA will still at their mercy.
With this great achievements of CHINA obviously have had created jealousy to the America in many ways. For this very reasons the Americans just cannot tolerate and had started many wicked tricks to discredit CHINA.
Example: The Tibet coup failure, The riots of Hong Kong which had totally failed. The trades wars that cannot penetrate, Xinjiang Human Rights and Genocide which was also a failure. Than came the Cowboy Donald Trump's Wuhan virus with his confidence big smile that this time China will be begging the America for help, but unfortunately to his greatest disappointment CHINA had controlled the spreading so quickky that had made him so frustrated and started to accused China have got no freedom for their peoples and controlled their people's movement with their Lockdown. As he knew this Biological weapon too well if not control will spread like wildfire, than came the boycotting of Xinjiang's cotton, what result has it got back to square one again. So what evils plans has the Americans got now? Let see their Taiwan and India chess games which will fell into their traps.
John Mearsheimer, please from your heart just ask yourself who is the real culprits? Thanks
Why did you delet the indonesian text???
Kishore speech is awsome .....
Clearly, Prof. Mearsheimer doesn't understand China and the Chinese, moreover the history of Aisa, but he does understand the US mentality.
Prof. Mahbubani is trying to give the solution that we can avoid tragedy, but they just don't believe that we could have a solution.
they knew nothing of the geo political aspects of south east asia idiots panelist.
Mearsheimer is too influenced by the Nixon/Kissinger era of foreign policy. Not everyone country operates in the same incentive system as the westerners. What happens when the counterparty doesnt care about « dominance »? There is no need for containment in that world.
Mearsheimer is a bitter old man in a wrong era.
Prof. Mearsheimer gets the US part right in their approach but he then applies that to everyone else which is a mistake but at the same time history has shown what most great powers do. I don't think the US will allow China to rise peacefully, it will do what's it already doing by trying to support color revolutions, student led protests etc... that are funded by ngo's like the NED, The National Endowment for Democracy which funds these groups, look at what happened in Myanmar, Hong Kong, Thailand what goes on in any country that's part of the belt and road initiative should be watched closely because the US doesn't want it happening.
The Pakistani President just recently said the US tried to pay off Pakistani politicians to try an oust him, remember he wouldn't condemn Russia or sanction them and instead made a gas deal. He says he's got evidence so we'll see.

Yep. The introduction was a horrendously biased view of world history.
The US did not defeat Imperial Germany. It was a coalition of Allied states, of which France, Britain and Russia did the lion's share of the fighting. The US did not even enter the war until 1917; when the war started in 1914.
The US did not defeat Nazi Germany alone. Something like 70% of the German losses were suffered against the Soviet Union.
The US did not defeat Imperial Japan alone. Most of the Japanese army was locked in China.
The US moreover did not defeat the Soviet Union alone. If you look at the economic downturn that resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the key player was not America or Reagan. It was West Germany and imports from the European market.
The US in fact has a very bad habit of thinking it "wins" or "defeats" other powers on its own; mostly because the government pushes this idea of American exceptionalism to try and secure more domestic votes. Unfortunately, this also tends to result in the US government believing their own lies - hence the string of misadventures in the past two decades where the US apparently can't beat goat herders in the mountains.
@@thomasellysonting3554 Allied forces were already defeated except for Britain when the USA enters the war. But even then, Britain was on the verge of getting defeated.
