I both agree on some things and absolutely disagree with other things on this video.
What he is proposing is dangerous not just to ourselves but the whole world as well.
Everything China has done the last few decades is not to get along with the rest of the world. That's Chinese propaganda coming straight from the Chinese government!
Looking at the boardering countries only shows this.
Why did they take over Tibet? Why are they being so aggressive with India? Why are they claiming the waters in the south China sea, far far beyond the internationally agreed upon 20 mile zone? Actually hundreds of miles south of them.
No China is far from not minding their own business. They are extremely aggressive, yet in a passive way. They just don't... give... up..! They don't stop pushing. And they have done this method of passive aggression historically throughout their millennias of existence.
What he does have totally right is our aloofness in being the best and that it is absolutely wrong to believe the China government will collapse. That's not the passive aggressive trait!
They will just keep on nibbling a little bit at a time. And this "western" society really just doesn't know how to deal with those that are passive aggressive other than to attack. Confronting them head on.
That just won't work either. Because he is right in that they are a first world power and is only going to get bigger.
What really puts the nail on this guy though is how he is approaching his arguments. His refusal to say what the real western societies problem is.
This guy is a Chinese propaganda specialist! He is pro chinese government despite him saying he is pro US. And why he emphasises that part "when" he does!
Yes, there are huge problems in the western society. Yes, we are aloof and should really do something about our aloofness.
We are arrogant! We often think we are better and say that we are the most free society in the world when we are not as free as we would like to believe. Hense the current problems that we are facing.
Yet saying China is not aggressive is like saying a lizzard is not a carnivore. Sure it's slow in cold weather. It still eats meat!
Ever wonder why most Orientals have a fascination for dragons, snakes and lizards? How about godzilla?
It's that passive aggressive approach. Don't waken a sleeping dragon. Just steal a little bit at a time approach.
