superpower is reclaiming land in the 21 00:01:52,969 --> 00:01:56,420 South China Sea the fact that we're 22 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,450 dealing with the situation right now 23 00:01:56,420 --> 00:02:00,950 where we the US has to be much more 24 00:01:59,450 --> 00:02:02,900 aggressive in dealing with the Chinese 25 00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:05,180 government cNN has Loretha the US navy 26

00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,789 US surveillance flights over the islands 30 00:02:12,289 --> 00:02:19,310 the threat of China is becoming big news 31 00:02:15,789 --> 00:02:21,828 the media is beating the drums of war as 32 00:02:19,310 --> 00:02:24,170 the world was being primed to regard 33 00:02:21,829 --> 00:02:26,750 China as a new enemy 34 00:02:24,169 --> 00:02:29,000 China's alarming creation of entirely 35 00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:31,639 new territory in the South China Sea is 36 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,009 one part of a broader military push that 37 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:37,309 some fear is to challenge us dominance 38 00:02:34,009 --> 00:02:39,828 in the region China is building air 39 00:02:37,310 --> 00:02:42,590 strips in the South China Sea on 40 00:02:39,829 --> 00:02:45,829 disputed islands condemned by an 41 00:02:42,590 --> 00:02:49,098 international tribunal this is now a 42 00:02:45,829 --> 00:02:54,379 flashpoint for war between China and 43 00:02:49,098 --> 00:02:58,488 America what is not news is that China 44 00:02:54,378 --> 00:03:01,669 itself is under threat these American 45 00:02:58,489 --> 00:03:05,900 bases form a giant noose encircling 46 00:03:01,669 --> 00:03:07,939 China with missiles bombers warships all 47 00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:13,069 the way from Australia through the 48 00:03:07,939 --> 00:03:15,590 Pacific to Asia and beyond I mean if you 49 00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:17,479 were in Beijing looking out he stood on 50 00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:19,250 the tallest building in Beijing and 51 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:22,729 looked out at the Pacific Ocean you'd 52 00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:24,348 see American warships you'd see Guam is 53 00:03:22,729 --> 00:03:26,959 about to sink because there's so many 54 00:03:24,348 --> 00:03:29,568 missiles pointed at China you look up a 55 00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:31,939 Korean see American armaments pointing 56 00:03:29,568 --> 00:03:35,238 at China you'd see Japan which is 57 00:03:31,939 --> 00:03:38,269 basically Japan's a glove over the 58 00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:40,280 American fist I think if I was Chinese 59 00:03:38,269 --> 00:03:42,829 I'd have a little to worry about about 60 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,620 American aggressiveness and we have 61 00:03:42,829 --> 00:03:47,150 China surrounded and we're doing more 62 00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:49,340 all the time to try and keep it 63 00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:52,849 surrounded and deepen that containment 64 00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:54,709 of China but China presents a 65 00:03:52,848 --> 00:03:56,929 fascinating case of a country that is 66 00:03:54,709 --> 00:04:00,378 independent doesn't have foreign bases 67 00:03:56,930 --> 00:04:03,379 on its territory growing very rapidly 68 00:04:00,378 --> 00:04:05,929 not as rapidly now as it did for 30 69 00:04:03,378 --> 00:04:07,848 years but still the second ranking 70 00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:10,579 economy in the world we have an 71 00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:13,369 adversary and that adversary is China 72 00:04:10,579 --> 00:04:17,569 and that adversary unless there is 73 00:04:13,370 --> 00:04:21,560 dramatic reform inside China will be our 74 00:04:17,569 --> 00:04:23,810 enemy someday when Miss I think really 75 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,120 that needs to be dispelled is that 76 00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:27,860 somehow 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,209 China's aiming to replace America and 78 00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:33,169 and gonna run the world it's not well 79 00:04:31,209 --> 00:04:39,228 first of all the Chinese are not that 80 00:04:33,168 --> 00:04:42,918 stupid the West with its Christian roots 81 00:04:39,228 --> 00:04:46,969 or about converting other people into 82 00:04:42,918 --> 00:04:49,459 their beliefs the Chinese are not about 83 00:04:46,970 --> 00:04:51,710 that it's it's just the come again I'm 84 00:04:49,459 --> 00:04:53,689 not degrading the Western culture I'm 85 00:04:51,709 --> 00:04:55,758 just pointing out being here in nature 86 00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:58,219 the DNA is of two different cultures 87 00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,400 the Chinese 2,000 years ago built the 88 00:04:58,220 --> 00:05:05,479 Great War to keep the barbarians out and 89 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:09,049 not to invade them as the world's 90 00:05:05,478 --> 00:05:11,810 economic power moves rapidly to Asia the 91 00:05:09,050 --> 00:05:14,329 response of the United States is to 92 00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:16,908 deploy the majority of its naval forces 93 00:05:14,329 --> 00:05:20,300 to Asia and the Pacific 94

--> 00:48:43,098 necessary to be prepared for the 813 00:48:37,940 --> 00:48:47,300 possibility of a Chinese missile attack 814 00:48:43,099 --> 00:48:50,450 from the United States one of the myths 815 00:48:47,300 --> 00:48:55,119 about now is that he was an implacable 816 00:48:50,449 --> 00:48:55,118 enemy of the capitalist West 817 00:49:03,940 --> 00:49:10,039 Shanghai today is a prosperous 818 00:49:06,789 --> 00:49:12,670 international city still run by the 819 00:49:10,039 --> 00:49:21,108 Communists at least in May 820 00:49:12,670 --> 00:49:24,000 [Music] 821 00:49:21,108 --> 00:49:27,179 when I was last in China more than a 822 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,608 generation ago the loudest noise was the 823 00:49:27,179 --> 00:49:33,179 tinkling of bicycle bells 824 00:49:29,608 --> 00:49:36,179 now just died the streets were dark the 825 00:49:33,179 --> 00:49:38,759 universities were closed the chaos of 826 00:49:36,179 --> 00:49:42,750 the Cultural Revolution had given way to 827 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:46,230 a great silence we're exhausted was the 828 00:49:42,750 --> 00:49:49,739 freest comment I heard coming back the 829 00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:52,650 change is barely comprehensible here in 830 00:49:49,739 --> 00:49:55,489 Shanghai the freedom bears no comparison 831 00:49:52,650 --> 00:49:58,318 yes there are issues with human rights 832 00:49:55,489 --> 00:50:01,739 especially the right to speak against 833 00:49:58,318 --> 00:50:04,619 the state and challenge its power since 834 00:50:01,739 --> 00:50:07,379 I was last here millions of people have 835 00:50:04,619 --> 00:50:11,190 been lifted out of poverty many of them 836 00:50:07,380 --> 00:50:13,650 into an entirely new middle class this 837 00:50:11,190 --> 00:50:16,608 epoch is still barely understood in the 838 00:50:13,650 --> 00:50:20,880 West or should that be willfully 839 00:50:16,608 --> 00:50:23,759 misunderstood the truth is the China has 840 00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:29,269 matched America at his own great game of 841 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:29,269 capitalism and that is unforgivable 842 00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:38,760 one measure of China's new capitalism

right outside 874 00:52:33,048 --> 00:52:38,409 where the Chinese Communist Party was 875 00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:42,769 born other very symbols of capitalism 876 00:52:38,409 --> 00:52:45,558

tossed away 902 00:54:04,630 --> 00:54:11,230 this opportunity that might have changed 903 00:54:08,139 --> 00:54:14,529 history prevented Wars save countless 904 00:54:11,230 --> 00:54:17,139 lives was lost because the truth of 905 00:54:14,530 --> 00:54:22,150 Mao's overtures was denied in the 906 00:54:17,139 --> 00:54:24,730 Washington of the 1950s State Department 907 00:54:22,150 --> 00:54:28,480 officials who had carried mouse messages 908 00:54:24,730 --> 00:54:33,969 were condemned unjustly as communist 909 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:37,780 traitors everybody who knew Mao who 910 00:54:33,969 --> 00:54:40,329 spoke Chinese was gone in the 1950s the 911 00:54:37,780 --> 00:54:43,810 State Department had no employees who 912 00:54:40,329 --> 00:54:45,639 spoke Chinese it's resulted in us not 913 00:54:43,809 --> 00:54:51,840 having relations with the number one 914 00:54:45,639 --> 00:54:56,980 most populous country in the world in 915 00:54:51,840 --> 00:55:00,600 1979 this man Deng Xiaoping became 916 00:54:56,980 --> 00:55:06,090 China's paramount leader he said 917 00:55:00,599 --> 00:55:06,089 socialism does not mean shared poverty 918 00:55:07,340 --> 00:55:14,570 this was code for the most radical 919 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:17,829 reform since Mao's revolution the return 920 00:55:14,570 --> 00:55:21,789 of capitalism to China but this time 921 00:55:17,829 --> 00:55:21,789 controlled by the Communist Party 922 00:55:23,579 --> 00:55:30,480 to be rich as glorious dane was reported 923 00:55:26,820 --> 00:55:36,260 as saying America was now threatened by 924 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:36,260 the emergence of a vast image of itself 925 00:55:41,170 --> 00:55:48,289 this is one of the many very exclusive 926 00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:50,840 gated communities in Shanghai where an 927 00:55:48,289 --> 00:55:53,829 apartment is one of the prizes of the 928 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,829 new communism 929 00:55:54,860 --> 00:56:02,539 I had arranged to see professor Zhang 930 00:55:59,659 --> 00:56:07,759 Wei Wei a close aide to the laid things 931 00:56:02,539 --> 00:56:14,900 out ping the man who changed China done 932 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:18,190 is really extremely long turn visionary 933 00:56:14,900 --> 00:56:21,860 leader with exceedingly long turn a 934 00:56:18,190 --> 00:56:23,990 strategic vision for his country for his 935 00:56:21,860 --> 00:56:27,110 people Chinese do you follow in that 936 00:56:23,989 --> 00:56:30,469 path yeah actually this is really a 937 00:56:27,110 --> 00:56:33,620 tradition from China's long history you 938 00:56:30,469 --> 00:56:36,500 look at even like Mao he said we should 939 00:56:33,619 --> 00:56:38,389 you know surpass UK by which year we 940 00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:40,849 shall supply United States by which he 941 00:56:38,389 --> 00:56:42,980 here so the tradition continues to this 942 00:56:40,849 --> 00:56:47,719 the USA Jinping today is also doing the 943 00:56:42,980 --> 00:56:49,940 same actually what many Chinese have 944 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:53,599 problem with Western media is this 945 00:56:49,940 --> 00:56:56,360 theory types about China if you are you 946 00:56:53,599 --> 00:56:59,239 contend with stereotypes you miss so 947 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,890 many things you know if BBC broadcast 948 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,889 something they are happy to always 949 00:57:00,889 --> 00:57:06,949 mention this communist dictatorship this 950 00:57:03,889 --> 00:57:09,199 autocracy now actually with this cotton 951 00:57:06,949 --> 00:57:14,139 label you know you cannot understand 952 00:57:09,199 --> 00:57:18,739 this China as it is but if you watch BBC 953 00:57:14,139 --> 00:57:20,929 ocam or read Economist and try to 954 00:57:18,739 --> 00:57:25,279 understand China it will be a failure 955 00:57:20,929 --> 00:57:27,079 it's impossible multiple parties fight 956 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,900 for political power and everyone voting 957 00:57:27,079 --> 00:57:34,059 on them as the only path to salvation to 958 00:57:29,900 --> 00:57:34,059 the long-suffering necessarily 959 00:57:34,150 --> 00:57:40,760 educated in America not typical of a new 960 00:57:37,849 --> 00:57:44,389 confident outspoken Chinese political 961 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:48,770 class now in China there a lot of 962 00:57:44,389 --> 00:57:51,789 problems but at the moment the Chinese 963 00:57:48,769 --> 00:57:54,889 the party state has proven an 964 00:57:51,789 --> 00:57:58,519 extraordinary ability to change I mean I 965 00:57:54,889 --> 00:58:00,469 make the joke how in America you can 966 00:57:58,519 --> 00:58:03,889 change political parties but you can't 967 00:58:00,469 --> 00:58:05,419 change the policies in China you cannot 968 00:58:03,889 --> 00:58:07,889 change the party but you can change 969 00:58:05,420 --> 00:58:11,700 policies 970 00:58:07,889 --> 00:58:13,909 in a 65 or 66 years China's being run by 971 00:58:11,699 --> 00:58:16,710 one single party yet 972 00:58:13,909 --> 00:58:19,819 the political changes that have taken 973 00:58:16,710 --> 00:58:23,639 place in China in this past 66 years 974 00:58:19,820 --> 00:58:26,130 have been wider and broader and greater 975 00:58:23,639 --> 00:58:28,469 than probably any other major country in 976 00:58:26,130 --> 00:58:30,510 modern memory so in that time China 977 00:58:28,469 --> 00:58:33,449 seems to be communist is that what 978 00:58:30,510 --> 00:58:35,730 you're saying well China is a market 979 00:58:33,449 --> 00:58:37,199 economy and the vibrant market economy 980 00:58:35,730 --> 00:58:42,929 but it is not a capitalist country 981 00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:47,569 here's why there's no way a group of 982 00:58:42,929 --> 00:58:51,000 billionaires to control the Politburo as 983 00:58:47,570 --> 00:58:54,720 billionaires control American 984 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:57,750 policymaking so in China you have a 985 00:58:54,719 --> 00:59:00,559 vibrant market economy but capital does 986 00:58:57,750 --> 00:59:04,380 not rise above political authority 987 00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:09,420 capital is not does not have enshrined 988 00:59:04,380 --> 00:59:11,640 rights in America capital the interests 989 00:59:09,420 --> 00:59:16,019 of capital and capital itself has risen 990 00:59:11,639 --> 00:59:17,699 above the native the American nation the 991 00:59:16,019 --> 00:59:20,219 political authority cannot check the 992 00:59:17,699 --> 00:59:24,139 power of capital and that's why America 993 00:59:20,219 --> 00:59:24,139 is a capitalist country but China is not 994 00:59:24,530 --> 00:59:30,260 this is the ironic title of a 995 00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:33,000 best-selling book by Zhang Li Jie a 996 00:59:30,260 --> 00:59:37,080 journalist and critic who lives in 997 00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:41,099 Beijing many Americans imagine that a 998 00:59:37,079 --> 00:59:46,130 Chinese people live miserable repressed 999 00:59:41,099 --> 00:59:48,900 to life with no freedom whatsoever 1000 00:59:46,130 --> 00:59:52,470 that's not quite so if you toss speak to 1001 00:59:48,900 --> 00:59:54,780 many ordinary Chinese people they will 1002 00:59:52,469 --> 00:59:57,689 tell you they feel their life are quite 1003 00:59:54,780 --> 00:59:59,430 free some 500 million people being 1004 00:59:57,690 --> 01:00:01,380 lifted out of poverty and someone would 1005 00:59:59,429 --> 01:00:06,269 say probably 600 million people that's a 1006 01:00:01,380 --> 01:00:09,660 great achievement for many Americans the 1007 01:00:06,269 --> 01:00:12,059 Yellow Peril has never left them I think 1008 01:00:09,659 --> 01:00:13,889 of the there's the fear about China of 1009 01:00:12,059 --> 01:00:17,639 course there's a fear of China's rapid 1010 01:00:13,889 --> 01:00:19,098 rise but it also has not to do with 1011 01:00:17,639 --> 01:00:23,858 China's 1012 01:00:19,099 --> 01:00:27,440 the label as a Communists and state 1013 01:00:23,858 --> 01:00:31,338 China's objectives are modest compared 1014 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:33,469 with their weight they're not trying to 1015 01:00:31,338 --> 01:00:37,159 run the world they're not even trying to 1016 01:00:33,469 --> 01:00:40,548 run asia-pacific I think they want to 1017 01:00:37,159 --> 01:00:44,268 keep America from dominating the 1018 01:00:40,548 --> 01:00:46,608 asia-pacific so they have what they 1019 01:00:44,268 --> 01:00:48,078 believe is their rightful place in 1020 01:00:46,608 --> 01:00:49,548 asia-pacific because the lost 1021 01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:52,190 civilization long history and their size 1022 01:00:49,548 --> 01:00:55,969 so their objectives are really modest 1023 01:00:52,190 --> 01:00:58,278 compared with their capacity the the 1024 01:00:55,969 --> 01:01:01,329 wealth a new wealth in China they often 1025 01:00:58,278 --> 01:01:06,048 say this is this is the product of 1026 01:01:01,329 --> 01:01:09,979 self-made entrepreneurial skill but is 1027 01:01:06,048 --> 01:01:12,559 it not also the product of the 1028 01:01:09,978 --> 01:01:15,018 exploitation of people at the bottom 1029 01:01:12,559 --> 01:01:17,809 what are known in China as migrants but 1030 01:01:15,018 --> 01:01:22,308 they're not really migrants Chinese if 1031 01:01:17,809 --> 01:01:25,548 you really you know go to talk to these 1032 01:01:22,309 --> 01:01:29,959 migrant workers you will find quite 1033 01:01:25,548 --> 01:01:34,179 surprisingly over the past five to seven 1034 01:01:29,958 --> 01:01:37,548 years they have experienced greater 1035 01:01:34,179 --> 01:01:43,788 income increase then any other social 1036 01:01:37,548 --> 01:01:48,068 groups China not a car Society but China 1037 01:01:43,789 --> 01:01:48,069 is a class Society 1038 01:01:48,119 --> 01:01:54,509 these are the homes of migrant workers 1039 01:01:51,019 --> 01:01:56,960 people who build and service the new 1040 01:01:54,510 --> 01:01:56,960 China 1041 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:09,579 here it's not uncommon for three 1042 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,579 families to share one tiny flat 1043 01:02:12,659 --> 01:02:17,969 you know you would associate a socialist 1044 01:02:15,030 --> 01:02:20,220 country wizzy call with equality but 1045 01:02:17,969 --> 01:02:22,769 unfortunately since the reform has 1046 01:02:20,219 --> 01:02:25,619 started China has become one of the most 1047 01:02:22,769 --> 01:02:28,230 unequal society in the world the income 1048 01:02:25,619 --> 01:02:30,719 gap is widening government I feel have 1049 01:02:28,230 --> 01:02:33,570 retreated some of the responsibilities 1050 01:02:30,719 --> 01:02:34,859 left the markets to take over but the 1051 01:02:33,570 --> 01:02:38,340 market does not always treat women 1052 01:02:34,860 --> 01:02:42,539 kindly some private companies they were 1053 01:02:38,340 --> 01:02:44,910 just refused to high child bearing age 1054 01:02:42,539 --> 01:02:47,460 women and sometimes when women become 1055 01:02:44,909 --> 01:02:49,139 pregnant they were second because they 1056 01:02:47,460 --> 01:02:53,159 don't want to pay the maternity leave 1057 01:02:49,139 --> 01:02:56,029 and in fact the income gap has grown 1058 01:02:53,159 --> 01:03:00,869 much bigger between a man and woman 1059 01:02:56,030 --> 01:03:03,230 you're no boss thongs Epping presided 1060 01:03:00,869 --> 01:03:08,690 over the bloodshed in Tiananmen Square 1061 01:03:03,230 --> 01:03:12,059 what would you say to the survivors of 1062 01:03:08,690 --> 01:03:16,550 Tiananmen Square because so many of 1063 01:03:12,059 --> 01:03:22,559 those did fight for what they saw as 1064 01:03:16,550 --> 01:03:26,490 democratic change in China in 1989 there 1065 01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:28,820 were two political forces one was those 1066 01:03:26,489 --> 01:03:32,489 represented by the Chinese students 1067 01:03:28,820 --> 01:03:34,950 their hero was Mihai Gorbachev who 1068 01:03:32,489 --> 01:03:38,399 happened to be in Beijing mm-hmm their 1069 01:03:34,949 --> 01:03:40,529 slogan was Soviet Union's today China's 1070 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:43,260 tomorrow mm-hmm so the idea was 1071 01:03:40,530 --> 01:03:45,630 political reform first as a reform 1072 01:03:43,260 --> 01:03:49,560 second otherwise channeled be hopeless 1073 01:03:45,630 --> 01:03:52,440 and then smash you what you opposite he 1074 01:03:49,559 --> 01:03:54,619 saw go Bertram was the idiot yeah he 1075 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:57,929 thought you know China must have 1076 01:03:54,619 --> 01:04:02,420 economic reform first as a reform second 1077 01:03:57,929 --> 01:04:05,250 this priority must be said clearly 1078 01:04:02,420 --> 01:04:09,210 unfortunately at that particular moment 1079 01:04:05,250 --> 01:04:12,000 in 1989 the two political forces could 1080 01:04:09,210 --> 01:04:16,380 not reach a compromise so definitely a 1081 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:20,760 tragedy occurred yeah it was more than a 1082 01:04:16,380 --> 01:04:23,910 tragedy it was a massacre of which the 1083 01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:30,420 memory remains a raw presence in modern 1084 01:04:23,909 --> 01:04:35,429 China why does the Chinese state still 1085 01:04:30,420 --> 01:04:39,180 fear the few the few who speak out and 1086 01:04:35,429 --> 01:04:41,759 I'm thinking of Lucille Ball exactly I 1087 01:04:39,179 --> 01:04:45,299 mean there's a man won the Nobel Peace 1088 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:48,120 Prize and and he's in prison he's 1089 01:04:45,300 --> 01:04:51,900 violating a Chinese law you know by a 1090 01:04:48,119 --> 01:04:54,299 big margin so actually the free of 1091 01:04:51,900 --> 01:04:57,329 expression similar views are aired by 1092 01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:59,840 many people but he's really going to the 1093 01:04:57,329 --> 01:04:59,840 extreme 1094 01:05:00,130 --> 01:05:06,280 blue chapeau challenged the government 1095 01:05:02,469 --> 01:05:12,159 to implement democratic reforms and the 1096 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:15,430 spent a total of 13 years in prison why 1097 01:05:12,159 --> 01:05:16,750 can't a confident China accept a 1098 01:05:15,429 --> 01:05:19,419 criticism like that 1099 01:05:16,750 --> 01:05:20,199 so Nobel Peace Committee makes huge 1100 01:05:19,420 --> 01:05:22,630 mistake 1101 01:05:20,199 --> 01:05:25,029 the owe the Chinese an explanation if 1102 01:05:22,630 --> 01:05:27,940 you cross the line costs you a violent 1103 01:05:25,030 --> 01:05:30,630 Constitution you write so many laws you 1104 01:05:27,940 --> 01:05:30,630 should be punished 1105 01:05:33,958 --> 01:05:40,719 and yet in China today the spirit of 1106 01:05:37,630 --> 01:05:47,318 protest and dissent lives on in 1107 01:05:40,719 --> 01:05:50,619 different forms in 2015 strikes and 1108 01:05:47,318 --> 01:05:54,818 community protests and activism reached 1109 01:05:50,619 --> 01:05:58,479 record levels this resistance is seldom 1110 01:05:54,818 --> 01:06:01,900 reported in the West so there lots of 1111 01:05:58,478 --> 01:06:05,618 protests in China typically for example 1112 01:06:01,900 --> 01:06:07,660 land being grabbed by officials - for 1113 01:06:05,619 --> 01:06:09,849 commercial development and the farmers 1114 01:06:07,659 --> 01:06:13,328 are not being compensated properly but 1115 01:06:09,849 --> 01:06:16,778 the farmers now no more aware of their 1116 01:06:13,329 --> 01:06:18,369 rights of the protest or young workers 1117 01:06:16,778 --> 01:06:21,400 from the factory they demand a better 1118 01:06:18,369 --> 01:06:24,039 wage of a better working condition but 1119 01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:26,949 many of the protests there are economic 1120 01:06:24,039 --> 01:06:29,680 driven not political driven they are 1121 01:06:26,949 --> 01:06:31,778 regional not national right so this kind 1122 01:06:29,679 --> 01:06:34,509 of things were unlikely developing into 1123 01:06:31,778 --> 01:06:38,708 real movement or so-called you call that 1124 01:06:34,509 --> 01:06:40,259 revolution so the Mao's revolution was 1125 01:06:38,708 -->

would take less time to 1317 01:21:25,500 --> 01:21:30,619 launch a missile that the doors were 1318 01:21:27,380 --> 01:21:30,619 cracked open 1319 01:21:32,139 --> 01:21:37,719 one of the launch

never speaks its name whose power is 1464 01:32:37,369 --> 01:32:49,159 represented in this extraordinary world 1465 01:32:40,279 --> 01:32:52,250 map of American military bases 4,000 1466 01:32:49,159 --> 01:32:55,130 bases in the United States almost a 1467 01:32:52,250 --> 01:33:01,909 thousand bases spread across every 1468 01:32:55,130 --> 01:33:03,400 continent the archipelago of Empire the 1469 01:33:01,909 --> 01:33:06,649 bases that we have around the world 1470 01:33:03,399 --> 01:33:09,979 hidden in plain sight either the real 1471 01:33:06,649 --> 01:33:13,009 territory of our empire but at the same 1472 01:33:09,979 --> 01:33:17,750 time we maintain independent governments 1473 01:33:13,010 --> 01:33:19,280 in Japan or South Korea or Germany they 1474 01:33:17,750 --> 01:33:20,659 don't have autonomy when it comes to 1475 01:33:19,279 --> 01:33:24,289 foreign policy so it's a very 1476 01:33:20,659 --> 01:33:28,000 sophisticated and effective system where 1477 01:33:24,289 --> 01:33:31,250 whereby we pat ourselves on the back for 1478 01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:33,050 helping to Midwife democracy and Japan 1479 01:33:31,250 --> 01:33:36,680 and Germany and South Korea and various 1480 01:33:33,050 --> 01:33:38,270 other places while keeping the lid on in 1481 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,400 that we don't know what these countries 1482 01:33:38,270 --> 01:33:42,590 would do if they were fully independent 1483 01:33:40,399 --> 01:33:44,210 and and the beauty of this system is 1484 01:33:42,590 --> 01:33:46,250 that most people pay no attention to it 1485 01:33:44,210 --> 01:33:49,220 at all they think it's just the natural 1486 01:33:46,250 --> 01:33:52,010 occurrence to have 50,000 American 1487 01:33:49,220 --> 01:33:54,340 troops in in Japan there's no country 1488 01:33:52,010 --> 01:33:57,710 that has better anti-imperial credit 1489 01:33:54,340 --> 01:33:59,779 cred then the United States and we are 1490 01:33:57,710 --> 01:34:03,439 not trying to recreate the glories of 1491 01:33:59,779 --> 01:34:07,130 the British Empire we're arguing that 1492 01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:12,379 the world is round we have a global 1493 01:34:07,130 --> 01:34:15,650 policy and all nations have global 1494 01:34:12,380 --> 01:34:18,319 rights no ocean has ever been dominated 1495 01:34:15,649 --> 01:34:22,789 the way the u.s. dominates the Pacific 1496 01:34:18,319 --> 01:34:26,569 Navy and Air Force they claim in the 1497 01:34:22,789 --> 01:34:29,569 Pearl Harbor headquarters of the Pacific 1498 01:34:26,569 --> 01:34:33,529 Command they claim to be responsible for 1499 01:34:29,569 --> 01:34:37,460 52 percent of the earth surface and when 1500 01:34:33,529 --> 01:34:39,859 you look at their logo it shows an eagle 1501 01:34:37,460 --> 01:34:41,750 over the Aleutian Islands with one tail 1502 01:34:39,859 --> 01:34:43,519 on coming down somewhere near Seattle 1503 01:34:41,750 --> 01:34:44,789 and the other coming down right over 1504 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:50,250 Beijing 1505 01:34:44,789 --> 01:34:52,859 so Beijing looks at a network of bases a 1506 01:34:50,250 --> 01:34:55,470 real archipelago of Empire that's been 1507 01:34:52,859 --> 01:35:00,779 built up since the Korean War you have 1508 01:34:55,470 --> 01:35:03,210 had and still have an arc of a basis 1509 01:35:00,779 --> 01:35:04,109 that start in Australia and go through 1510 01:35:03,210 --> 01:35:06,149 notice if ik 1511 01:35:04,109 --> 01:35:09,059 we have no basis in Australia you have 1512 01:35:06,149 --> 01:35:12,029 Pine Gap you have Darwin and you have a 1513 01:35:09,060 --> 01:35:13,830 new facility in Western Australia no to 1514 01:35:12,029 --> 01:35:19,259 speak precisely we have no military 1515 01:35:13,829 --> 01:35:23,640 bases in Australia what we do is operate 1516 01:35:19,260 --> 01:35:26,190 with and in Australian bases yeah but 1517 01:35:23,640 --> 01:35:32,880 we're not in the basing business 1518 01:35:26,189 --> 01:35:35,389 nowadays there's a growing collection of 1519 01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:39,029 what are referred to as lilypad bases 1520 01:35:35,390 --> 01:35:43,470 these are bases that have typically to 1521 01:35:39,029 --> 01:35:45,929 300 troops no family members very few 1522 01:35:43,470 --> 01:35:47,520 amenities and are often quite secretive 1523 01:35:45,930 --> 01:35:50,130 their bases that are frequently 1524 01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:53,010 constructed within a foreign country's 1525 01:35:50,130 --> 01:35:56,279 base to disguise it and and generally 1526 01:35:53,010 --> 01:35:59,159 are not referred to as bases many of 1527 01:35:56,279 --> 01:36:04,009 these bases have been set up to combat 1528 01:35:59,159 --> 01:36:04,010 China's worldwide economic influence 1529 01:36:04,529 --> 01:36:10,869 from these bases the United States 1530 01:36:07,810 --> 01:36:14,860 operates a secret army in a hundred and 1531 01:36:10,869 --> 01:36:16,960 forty seven countries if you're gonna be 1532 01:36:14,859 --> 01:36:18,819 a free country rather than given every 1533 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:20,590 gangster regime in the world you're 1534 01:36:18,819 --> 01:36:22,929 gonna have to take a risk because those 1535 01:36:20,590 --> 01:36:24,789 gangsters they want to they they want to 1536 01:36:22,930 --> 01:36:28,000 eliminate good people in the world so 1537 01:36:24,789 --> 01:36:30,430 they can have an in China they want to 1538 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:32,380 dominate all of all of the Far East they 1539 01:36:30,430 --> 01:36:34,840 want to dominate just like Japan wanted 1540 01:36:32,380 --> 01:36:37,180 to before World War two their goal was 1541 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:39,430 to dominate that part of the world today 1542 01:36:37,180 --> 01:36:43,030 the because there has been no political 1543 01:36:39,430 --> 01:36:45,760 reform in Beijing these guys want to 1544 01:36:43,029 --> 01:36:48,340 dominate a huge chunk of the planet why 1545 01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:50,560 light struggle and Rukavina business is 1546 01:36:48,340 --> 01:36:53,470 served on America's national defense 1547 01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:55,539 channel he's a military strategist and 1548 01:36:53,470 --> 01:36:57,850 war planner 1549 01:36:55,539 --> 01:37:01,119 you've written that airstrikes and naval 1550 01:36:57,850 --> 01:37:05,470 blockades have a role to play in 1551 01:37:01,119 --> 01:37:09,309 punishing China you've described the 1552 01:37:05,470 --> 01:37:11,890 need for sea mines you've described the 1553 01:37:09,310 --> 01:37:15,660 need for special forces u.s. special 1554 01:37:11,890 --> 01:37:19,110 forces and missiles placed in islands 1555 01:37:15,659 --> 01:37:21,309 this sounds like a preparation for war 1556 01:37:19,109 --> 01:37:23,079 our our first president George 1557 01:37:21,310 --> 01:37:27,010 Washington said if you want peace 1558 01:37:23,079 --> 01:37:28,350 prepare for war and essentially what the 1559 01:37:27,010 --> 01:37:31,780 United States is doing again is 1560 01:37:28,350 --> 01:37:35,050 responding to provocative behavior on 1561 01:37:31,779 --> 01:37:38,529 the part of China and just as we did in 1562 01:37:35,050 --> 01:37:42,130 the Cold War the idea was to have a 1563 01:37:38,529 --> 01:37:44,409 position of military strength such that 1564 01:37:42,130 --> 01:37:47,140 your adversaries were not tempted to act 1565 01:37:44,409 --> 01:37:49,180 in aggressive ways or try and employ 1566 01:37:47,140 --> 01:37:52,000 coercion to get their way maybe just 1567 01:37:49,180 --> 01:37:56,320 last week the US Navy sent a guided 1568 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:59,050 missile destroyer in to the Spratly 1569 01:37:56,319 --> 01:38:01,989 Islands and South China Sea and what was 1570 01:37:59,050 --> 01:38:05,829 different about this I think was that 1571 01:38:01,989 --> 01:38:07,109 Chinese fighters scrambled that sounds 1572 01:38:05,829 --> 01:38:09,819 like an escalator 1573 01:38:07,109 --> 01:38:12,159 well the again from an American 1574 01:38:09,819 --> 01:38:13,899 perspective the the escalation was the 1575 01:38:12,159 --> 01:38:15,369 Chinese speeding to militarize these 1576 01:38:13,899 --> 01:38:16,229 islands in the first place 1577 01:38:15,369 --> 01:38:18,599 move 1578 01:38:16,229 --> 01:38:21,029 it's military capabilities doubt into 1579 01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:23,820 that region engaging in provocative 1580 01:38:21,029 --> 01:38:27,420 behavior against the commercial 1581 01:38:23,819 --> 01:38:29,099 activities and military forces of other 1582 01:38:27,420 --> 01:38:31,350 minor countries in the region that have 1583 01:38:29,100 --> 01:38:34,350 claim to those islands so it's a 1584 01:38:31,350 --> 01:38:37,400 response to Chinese intimidation rather 1585 01:38:34,350 --> 01:38:40,230 excuse me how is commerce being 1586 01:38:37,399 --> 01:38:42,449 intimidated in the South China Sea 1587 01:38:40,229 --> 01:38:45,299 there have been no military forces no 1588 01:38:42,449 --> 01:38:47,099 military bases there the China except 1589 01:38:45,300 --> 01:38:48,690 the United States military base not in 1590 01:38:47,100 --> 01:38:50,550 the South China Sea and not even in the 1591 01:38:48,689 --> 01:38:51,779 Philippines because the United States 1592 01:38:50,550 --> 01:38:53,970 withdrew its forces in the Philippines 1593 01:38:51,779 --> 01:38:55,889 but the United States is back in the 1594 01:38:53,970 --> 01:38:57,989 Philippines the Philippines and the 1595 01:38:55,890 --> 01:38:59,670 United States have announced five 1596 01:38:57,988 --> 01:39:01,439 different locations scattered all 1597 01:38:59,670 --> 01:39:04,289 throughout the Philippines where US 1598 01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:08,369 troops will be stationed on a rotational 1599 01:39:04,289 --> 01:39:10,680 basis this threat to China from yet more 1600 01:39:08,369 --> 01:39:13,649 US bases on its doorstep 1601 01:39:10,680 --> 01:39:17,369 was not an issue when an arbitration 1602 01:39:13,649 --> 01:39:19,799 tribunal ruled against China's claims to 1603 01:39:17,369 --> 01:39:25,769 the strategic Spratly Islands in the 1604 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:28,500 South China Sea in 2015 the US Navy 1605 01:39:25,770 --> 01:39:31,560 rehearsed a blockade that would cut 1606 01:39:28,500 --> 01:39:35,039 China's lifelines of oil and trade and 1607 01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:40,590 raw materials the danger of 1608 01:39:35,039 --> 01:39:43,199 confrontation grows by the day the US 1609 01:39:40,590 --> 01:39:46,560 Navy is on the doorstep of China 1610 01:39:43,199 --> 01:39:51,269 regardless of disputed islands and is 1611 01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:54,030 there with low draft ships planes battle 1612 01:39:51,270 --> 01:39:56,400 groups it's right on the doorstep 1613 01:39:54,029 --> 01:40:00,659 what if Chinese ships what if the 1614 01:39:56,399 --> 01:40:03,659 equivalent was off California well John 1615 01:40:00,659 --> 01:40:06,389 we ask ourselves that question regularly 1616 01:40:03,659 --> 01:40:11,029 and it's it's important to put yourself 1617 01:40:06,390 --> 01:40:15,989 in the other guys shoes yeah so look we 1618 01:40:11,029 --> 01:40:18,869 don't operate in the Pacific in an 1619 01:40:15,988 --> 01:40:22,919 effort to scare China to contain China 1620 01:40:18,869 --> 01:40:27,149 to backfoot China our operations in our 1621 01:40:22,920 --> 01:40:29,670 presence first of all is warmly welcomed 1622 01:40:27,149 --> 01:40:33,059 by the vast majority of the coastal 1623 01:40:29,670 --> 01:40:36,659 States but secondly is fully accepted by 1624 01:40:33,060 --> 01:40:39,510 the Chinese time after time is it excuse 1625 01:40:36,659 --> 01:40:42,750 me is it fully accepted yes mine prayer 1626 01:40:39,510 --> 01:40:47,789 by their by their words the China star 1627 01:40:42,750 --> 01:40:50,819 says scared and this is what they're 1628 01:40:47,789 --> 01:41:01,609 scared of a new sub base is right around 1629 01:40:50,819 --> 01:41:09,630 China missiles bombers drones warships a 1630 01:41:01,609 --> 01:41:12,839 provocation of war today I state clearly 1631 01:41:09,630 --> 01:41:15,390 and with conviction America's commitment 1632 01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:21,060 to seek the peace and security of a 1633 01:41:15,390 --> 01:41:24,390 world without nuclear weapons under 1634 01:41:21,060 --> 01:41:27,390 Obama nuclear warheads spending is risen 1635 01:41:24,390 --> 01:41:30,619 higher than under any president since 1636 01:41:27,390 --> 01:41:34,170 the end of the Cold War it's all a 1637 01:41:30,619 --> 01:41:36,210 magician's show because at the same time 1638 01:41:34,170 --> 01:41:37,890 that Obama is talking about that not 1639 01:41:36,210 --> 01:41:41,159 only is he spending a trillion dollars 1640 01:41:37,890 --> 01:41:42,900 to modernize US nuclear forces but he's 1641 01:41:41,159 --> 01:41:45,539 deploying these missile defense systems 1642 01:41:42,899 --> 01:41:48,089 to encircle Russia and China which makes 1643 01:41:45,539 --> 01:41:50,760 it impossible to get rid of nuclear 1644 01:41:48,090 --> 01:41:53,760 weapons in that climate everybody wants 1645 01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:55,890 to look like they're tough see I got to 1646 01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:57,449 be tough I got to show you know I'm not 1647 01:41:55,890 --> 01:41:59,010 afraid of doing anything military I'm 1648 01:41:57,448 --> 01:42:01,979 not afraid of threatening I'm you know 1649 01:41:59,010 --> 01:42:03,329 I'm a hairy chested gorilla and you know 1650 01:42:01,979 --> 01:42:06,659 and you don't want to look like you're 1651 01:42:03,329 --> 01:42:10,890 weak so what you do is you talk more and 1652 01:42:06,659 --> 01:42:13,679 more aggressively and and you let and if 1653 01:42:10,890 --> 01:42:15,480 you don't want to do it yourself because 1654 01:42:13,679 --> 01:42:18,690 you maybe think it doesn't look very 1655 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:21,629 presidential you let somebody under you 1656 01:42:18,689 --> 01:42:23,849 do the talking and we have gotten into a 1657 01:42:21,630 --> 01:42:26,159 state the United States has gotten into 1658 01:42:23,850 --> 01:42:30,630 a situation where there's a lot of 1659 01:42:26,159 --> 01:42:33,510 military you know saber-rattling and its 1660 01:42:30,630 --> 01:42:37,739 really being orchestrated from the top 1661 01:42:33,510 --> 01:42:40,590 you know this seems incredibly dangerous 1662 01:42:37,738 --> 01:42:42,308 all of this that's an understatement I 1663 01:42:40,590 --> 01:42:45,279 think but I agree 1664 01:42:42,309 --> 01:42:47,529 when you routinely plan for mass murder 1665 01:42:45,279 --> 01:42:50,259 you've become conditioned to it that's 1666 01:42:47,529 --> 01:42:52,179 what this is we accept it oh yeah we 1667 01:42:50,260 --> 01:42:55,090 haven't had nuclear weapons the defense 1668 01:42:52,179 --> 01:42:58,389 secretary he's just announced that there 1669 01:42:55,090 --> 01:43:01,328 will be warships and Special Forces and 1670 01:42:58,389 --> 01:43:03,400 planes sent to the Philippines and the 1671 01:43:01,328 --> 01:43:07,599 Wall Street Journal has described this 1672 01:43:03,399 --> 01:43:11,078 as the vanguard of a major US presence 1673 01:43:07,599 --> 01:43:13,900 in Southeast Asia that sounds like where 1674 01:43:11,078 --> 01:43:16,118 does this end what's what's the purpose 1675 01:43:13,899 --> 01:43:19,689 I mean where are we gonna stop this 1676 01:43:16,118 --> 01:43:21,539 process before it starts to war and then 1677 01:43:19,689 --> 01:43:24,769 if the worst starts where does that end 1678 01:43:21,539 --> 01:43:24,769 [Music] 1679 01:44:05,979 --> 01:44:11,449 the scientific studies that I teach by 1680 01:44:09,020 --> 01:44:12,500 the scientists that predict that the 1681 01:44:11,449 --> 01:44:14,420 earth can be made essentially 1682 01:44:12,500 --> 01:44:16,250 uninhabitable from nuclear war the 1683 01:44:14,420 --> 01:44:18,230 scientists have been begging the Obamas 1684 01:44:16,250 --> 01:44:20,390 tration well they wouldn't say begging 1685 01:44:18,229 --> 01:44:21,889 but they've made multiple requests to 1686 01:44:20,390 --> 01:44:23,240 meet with them discuss these predictions 1687 01:44:21,890 --> 01:44:24,950 because they're peer-reviewed studies 1688 01:44:23,239 --> 01:44:27,199 and they've been turned down over and 1689 01:44:24,949 --> 01:44:29,659 over again they've been peripherally 1690 01:44:27,199 --> 01:44:31,460 told that well we don't think the 1691 01:44:29,659 --> 01:44:33,109 long-term environmental consequences of 1692 01:44:31,460 --> 01:44:34,640 nuclear war all that important if the 1693 01:44:33,109 --> 01:44:35,299 immediate effects of nuclear war don't 1694 01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:37,190 stop it 1695 01:44:35,300 --> 01:44:39,140 but the long-term environmental 1696 01:44:37,189 --> 01:44:42,639 consequences of nuclear or reliable to 1697 01:44:39,140 --> 01:44:45,020 wipe out the human race in oneexchange 1698 01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:49,270 nuclear exchange between the US and 1699 01:44:45,020 --> 01:44:51,560 China what could be the consequences 1700 01:44:49,270 --> 01:44:54,830 well let me just give you an example of 1701 01:44:51,560 --> 01:44:56,870 what one Chinese four or five Megaton 1702 01:44:54,829 --> 01:45:00,500 warhead would do to a city in the United 1703 01:44:56,869 --> 01:45:02,059 States forgot through the detonation of 1704 01:45:00,500 --> 01:45:04,460 that weapon over our city would 1705 01:45:02,060 --> 01:45:07,880 instantly ignite about six or seven 1706 01:45:04,460 --> 01:45:10,069 hundred square miles on fire and within 1707 01:45:07,880 --> 01:45:11,930 20 to 30 minutes all of those fires 1708 01:45:10,069 --> 01:45:14,299 would coalesce into a single gigantic 1709 01:45:11,930 --> 01:45:16,970 firestorm there'd be no escape from it 1710 01:45:14,300 --> 01:45:19,909 so all the people there would perish so 1711 01:45:16,970 --> 01:45:22,730 the u.s. with say hundreds of nuclear 1712 01:45:19,909 --> 01:45:26,029 weapons on Chinese cities well when you 1713 01:45:22,729 --> 01:45:28,039 combine all the smoke from these nuclear 1714 01:45:26,029 --> 01:45:30,559 weapons detonating it actually creates 1715 01:45:28,039 --> 01:45:33,649 millions of tons of black carbon smoke 1716 01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:35,450 will rise above cloud level into the 1717 01:45:33,649 --> 01:45:37,189 stratosphere it's heated by the Sun it's 1718 01:45:35,449 --> 01:45:39,289 acts like a solar collector and that 1719 01:45:37,189 --> 01:45:42,019 smoke because of that will stay there 1720 01:45:39,289 --> 01:45:43,850 for ten years or longer and what the 1721 01:45:42,020 --> 01:45:45,580 smoke does is to block swarming sunlight 1722 01:45:43,850 --> 01:45:48,829 from reaching the surface of the earth 1723 01:45:45,579 --> 01:45:50,510 and it become so cold in a matter of 1724 01:45:48,829 --> 01:45:52,100 just a couple of weeks that will the 1725 01:45:50,510 --> 01:45:57,829 temperatures will fall below freezing 1726 01:45:52,100 --> 01:45:59,600 every day for one to three years and it 1727 01:45:57,829 --> 01:46:03,189 will become too cold to grow food crops 1728 01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:03,190 for at least ten years or longer 1729 01:46:07,948 --> 01:46:16,678 I mean there's this like a total 1730 01:46:14,369 --> 01:46:19,198 disconnect with the changing world you 1731 01:46:16,679 --> 01:46:22,380 have a giant rising power in this case 1732 01:46:19,198 --> 01:46:24,689 China why would you expect a giant 1733 01:46:22,380 --> 01:46:27,000 rising power to not want to have more 1734 01:46:24,689 --> 01:46:28,529 control over its destiny what we should 1735 01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:31,710 be doing in my view is trying to 1736 01:46:28,529 --> 01:46:33,869 cultivate a sense of friendship and 1737 01:46:31,710 --> 01:46:35,460 cooperation and we can have our 1738 01:46:33,869 --> 01:46:36,929 differences with them if we think 1739 01:46:35,460 --> 01:46:39,149 they're doing something in trade that we 1740 01:46:36,929 --> 01:46:41,550 don't like let's have it out with them 1741 01:46:39,149 --> 01:46:44,719 but this saber-rattling is the worst 1742 01:46:41,550 --> 01:46:44,719 thing we can possibly do 1743 01:46:48,039 --> 01:46:57,039 it is time to show the whole world that 1744 01:46:53,260 --> 01:47:01,020 America is back bigger and better and 1745 01:46:57,039 --> 01:47:05,829 stronger than ever before 1746 01:47:01,020 --> 01:47:08,170 we don't have victories anymore we used 1747 01:47:05,829 --> 01:47:12,149 to have victories but we don't have them 1748 01:47:08,170 --> 01:47:16,649 when was the last time anybody saw us 1749 01:47:12,149 --> 01:47:20,219 beating let's say China in a trade deal 1750 01:47:16,649 --> 01:47:23,500 they kill us we can't continue to allow 1751 01:47:20,220 --> 01:47:25,300 China to rape our country and that's 1752 01:47:23,500 --> 01:47:29,609 what they're doing it's the greatest 1753 01:47:25,300 --> 01:47:29,610 theft in the history of the world 1754 01:47:30,878 --> 01:47:37,929 the new President Donald Trump has a 1755 01:47:34,389 --> 01:47:41,679 problem with China the urgent question 1756 01:47:37,929 --> 01:47:44,679 now is will Trump continue with the 1757 01:47:41,679 --> 01:47:50,649 provocations revealed in this film and 1758 01:47:44,679 --> 01:47:54,038 take us all to the edge of war there 1759 01:47:50,649 --> 01:47:56,378 never have been two countries more 1760 01:47:54,038 --> 01:48:01,238 interdependent on each other than China 1761 01:47:56,378 --> 01:48:03,368 in the u.s. in history and China is the 1762 01:48:01,238 --> 01:48:07,448 largest trading nation in the world and 1763 01:48:03,368 --> 01:48:10,839 in history so China's economy and and 1764 01:48:07,448 --> 01:48:13,238 their society their lives are linked to 1765 01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:14,469 the entire world including America and 1766 01:48:13,238 --> 01:48:16,509 the West and law and all the other 1767 01:48:14,469 --> 01:48:18,219 countries so so I think interdependence 1768 01:48:16,510 --> 01:48:21,699 between these two countries and among 1769 01:48:18,219 --> 01:48:23,908 all the nations of the world speak to 1770 01:48:21,698 --> 01:48:23,908 peace 1771 01:48:26,060 --> 01:48:40,230 [Music] 1772 01:48:37,869 --> 01:48:53,238 [Applause] 1773 01:48:40,229 -->

enemies that justify the business and 1777 01:49:02,180 --> 01:49:09,100 profit of war if we recognize there is 1778 01:49:05,810 --> 01:49:12,350 another superpower and that's us 1779 01:49:09,100
