    TIMESTAMPS:
    00:00 Is China and Russia creating a new world order? Dd the boycott of Olympics help Putin to create an alliance with China.
    02:23 Is the new joint-statement between Russia and China is the announcement of a new world order?
    03:40 Why does the media warn the world for a new world order being created? Will Russia and China take leadership and redistribute the new world?
    06:04 Are the two states Russia and China supporting global goals? Why are they calling themselves democracies? Why do they claim to want universal human rights? Do they support UN development goals, climate change and tackling the COVID19 globally?
    08:10 What guarantees does China and Russia want from the Western powers? lasting security, one-china policy, buffer-zones on adjacent regions to their own, and end to the double standards of US specifically.
    09:15 What threats does China and Russia feel from the West? A new cold war mentality, especially against China, the enlargement of NATO to the East, the withdrawals of U.S. from military treaties, and lack of security guarantees.
    10:21 Why does the joint-statement mention weapons? To not engage in a space arms race, to end all bio en chemical weapons, to have global governance on data and cyber security, and to not increase nuclear presence.
    11:52 Where were the main intension to sign the China-Russia joint statement? To step up as responsible global leaders, to revisit the WWII baseline agreements, to announce more friendship between Russia and China, and to support SCO as an entity to cooperate between both.
    14:03 What is the real gameplan of China, Russia, U.S. and EU in the crisis in Ukraine? Russia plays chess, US plays poker, Europe plays football and China plays GO. They don't understand each other because they are all playing a different game.
    16:04 What is China's position for Russia to invade Ukraine? China wants to avoid a war, de-escalate, go through diplomacy, but understands the Russian demands and will not leave Russia on their own if the West sanctions Russia after an invasion.
    18:12 How is Russia and China's relationship? It's like peers, not friends. They are very different, but share a large border and same threats from the West. They are very complimentary and therefore can rely on each other.
    20:00 What would an invasion of Russia into Ukraine mean for China? It would be a major challenge and headache for China. Trade with Ukraine has great potential and the Ukraine hub for Belt and Road is very strategic. It would be against the. sovereignty principle of China if Russia were to invade Ukraine, and sanctions could spill over to China.
    22:20 Does an invasion into Ukraine have benefits for China? I believe most of these benefits are fake news or hysteria. Taiwan is not going to get invaded if Ukraine gets invaded. The war is not a global distraction that would benefit China, China would not have or need more control over Russia politically and there is no sign of a new world order that Russia and China want to create together.

      HOW TO FINISHING WWIII
      America started WWIII in 1991.
      Now Russia has to finish it daintily.
      But whenever Russia’s going to settle a score,
      it’s the whole world that will be playing Russian roulette.
      We are lucky that China survived its color revolution in 1989.
      Otherwise, the world might not
      get over the covid-19 pandemics
      before we all become radioactive first.
      Anyway, America should quietly accept
      whose side China is on
      and not to poke China to hard
      to refresh its bad memory about Tiananmen,
      that might be to much a hit on the
      already fragile Sino-America relation.
      For the world to get out this mess,
      we need to clean up our messed up history first.
      Particularly, we need to find out
      what really happened in WWII
      with Germany and Japan.
      In 2007 America already did a reinvestigation of Japan.
      Basically, once the factual war records are
      let out after being buried for 70 years,
      Japan was officially found not guilty.
      America’s intention is to shift all the blames to China --
      that is, it’s China who lied about Japan.
      But the joke is really on America,
      since that lying China is not today’s China anymore.
      It’s the old China that conspired with America,
      to poison the blood between
      Japan and the Chinese people,
      for the purpose of start the Sino-Japanese War.
      So, the real bad ass of WWII in Asia was America.
      Its ambition all along was to colonize Asia.
      Japan was really the good guy.
      It actually proposed to form a Pan-Asia,
      uniting China, Japan, Manchuria and Mongolia,
      in a joint effort to liberate Asia from Western colonization.
      Well, this settles for Japan.
      It should know what to do
      when push comes to shovel reaches
      nuke weapon proportion.
      But how about Germany?
      My mind is overflowing with Japan matters.
      There is simply no more room for German matters.
      I will just leave this to other volunteers.
      But still it’s suffice for me to note here:
      People should spare their tears for the Jews,
      if they only pay some attention to the
      century-long opium holocaust that
      Jews of Marx, Sassoons and Rothchilds
      caused more than 100 million deaths in China.
      Now here we have it:
      the potential new lands of alliance among
      Russia, China, Japan and Germany,
      untouchable by outside interventions.
      Since the arrival of America and
      its global-tramping way of
      aggression and expansion,
      we finally have a more powerful group
      that have total control of their own sovereignties.
      Based on the past records of these
      four countries, they will inevitably
      lead the world into a new era of automation and fitness,
      by leaving the nightmare of America in the dust.

    For those people pondering the question: _"Is Ukraine invasion a blueprint for an attack on Taiwan?"_ it should be noted that although yes, there is currently a buildup of Russian troops at its border with Ukraine, however, there is *no buildup of People's Liberation Army troops* at the mainland/Taiwan border in the Taiwan Strait, so there is no evidence to suggest an impending attack on Taiwan.

      There is no impending attack of Ukraine by Russia. That is propaganda by the USA /West. The issue is not really Ukraine(which the USA/west frames the common narrative) but NATO expansion to the very doorstep of Moscow. I think the saker, Brian Berletic and mercouris channels have excellent views on the situation there. The joint 'declaration ' by China and Russia is not China 'using ' Putin but rather likely a coordinated move by the 2 powers to counter American hegemony.
      USA main intention is to remain hegemon in Europe. For that, Russia must be 'seen' as a threat to Europe. USA is trying to find an excuse to weaken and destabilize Russia -likely by economic sanctions(via a false narrative of a Russian 'invasion' of Eastern Ukraine) + instigation of 'pro democracy, anti Putin' protests within Russia.
      The final aim is to either drive a wedge between Russia and China or annihilate Russia first. Then USA will go for the jugular to destroy China. Xi and Putin are both realists. If China does not back Russia up, China is next.

Putin is a strategist and a diplomat, and has garnered support from Russian people, so I am confident that he will be able to make clear Russia's point to USA, without ending in unnecessary bloodshed.

That there's no evidence suggesting that an impending attack on Taiwan.

    The whole of Europe suddenly became extremely quiet, and it seemed that everyone's heartbeat could be heard. The American army has fallen from the sky, and 8,500 American troops have arrived in Poland and Romania one after another. The dollar is fighting against the euro, NATO is confronting Russia, and the United States wants to provoke a boundless war. Ukraine instantly found itself redundant, this pattern is too weird!
    If you use flat thinking, what you see is that the US is provoking Ukraine and Russia to go to war, and the US wants to take advantage of the situation.
    This is the superficial logic of the two-dimensional world, and Ukraine thinks that it is the protagonist.
    If you observe with 3D logic, you will see a completely different scene. The United States is the biggest BOSS. The Ukrainian war has not yet started, and the United States has successfully sent troops to invade at least four European countries; especially Germany, the United States originally had 3 Ten thousand garrisoned troops, and the newly established 56th Artillery Unit can directly deploy tactical nuclear bombs, which is too cruel.
    The United States has sent about 3,000 special forces to Ukraine, who have been distributed into the army to become instructors. To put it bluntly, the US military has used 3,000 soldiers to control a 250,000 Ukrainian army, and this army is supported by the Ukrainian government itself. .
    The United States has unknowingly become the biggest winner in the entire game. Russia's 120,000 troops are assembled on the border of Russia and Ukraine.
    Observing the entire U.S.-Russian game is really weird. This very tense, life-or-death moment for Europe-
    1. The U.S. dollar and the euro have always been opposed to each other. Just before February 3, the U.S. dollar had driven the euro to a historic bottom; if the euro broke again, it would be completely harvested by the U.S. dollar into drug dregs.
    2. All the layout of the United States is to maintain the hegemony of the US dollar. From this perspective, you will find a particularly interesting phenomenon when looking at the layout of the European battlefield.
    3. Beixi No. 2 is a steel needle that Russia has pierced into the heart of the US dollar. About 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas is produced every year. The key is that the energy settlement contract is settled in euros. As soon as this precedent is set, Russia and the EU are interacting. Once Russia goes to war, the United States asks Germany to close Nord Stream 2 for sanctions. Germany has an ambiguous attitude. The euro zone is the base for the dollar to dominate the world, and the dollar and oil settlement system is the lifeblood of American hegemony. The United States is completely panicked.
    4. Why does the United States continue to send troops? The reason is very simple. Biden has found that the domestic economy is in recession and his support has plummeted. He must send a large army to protect the market area of ​​​​the dollar in Europe and protect the European energy market from being invaded by Russia. This is the core.
    5. The war turned bad in an instant. The euro is the real target of the United States. NATO has become an accomplice of the United States, kidnapping the entire 30 EU countries as "hostages", and then using the threat of war with the Russian army. If European countries want to follow Russia, they will directly "destroy" the euro area. The problem is that most Europeans are not awakened, hypnotized by the robber, and think the robber is the good guy. Macron is sober, but being mocked and ridiculed by people all over Europe, Macron actually wants to cooperate with Russia?
    6, Putin said nothing, direct general! Either, open the Beixi-2, Europe, Russia and China will kill the dollar hegemony together; or, go to war directly, and the United States will send troops to confront the Russian army in the Eastern European battlefield. This "general" is not a vehicle for Ukraine, but for dollar hegemony! China immediately sent God's assistance at this time. On February 4, China and Russia signed a super order for oil and a huge contract for natural gas. These projects were all settled in euros. This does not require the consent of Europeans. China has euros. The money they earn from doing business with Europe is directly used to buy oil and natural gas. It is so cool. The U.S. dollar really began to plummet. From February 4th to the present, it has fallen into a bruised face. This is the legendary "financial war".

      Thank you for your very good knowledge on the subject. I think you are right on the mark with all of your comments. The US is trying very hard to provoke Russia into putting some boots on the ground in Ukraine so the US can step in and stop Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Russia and China now do almost 50% of business between each other in non-US$, a growing threat to dominance of the US$.
      It also has played the game since the end of WWII of isolating Russia to keep Germany from investing a lot in Russia, and them becoming good friends, which again would be a threat to US hegemony. The US is now pressing very hard to start another war somewhere because it can’t win now competing industrially. Better to try kick the legs out from under opponents.

      to poison the blood between
      Japan and the Chinese people,
      for the purpose of start the Sino-Japanese War.
      So, the real bad ass of WWII in Asia was America.
      Its ambition all along was to colonize Asia.
      Japan was really the good guy.
      It actually proposed to form a Pan-Asia,
      uniting China, Japan, Manchuria and Mongolia,
      in a joint effort to liberate Asia from Western colonization.
      Well, this settles for Japan.
      It should know what to do
      when push comes to shovel reaches
      nuke weapon proportion.
      But how about Germany?
      My mind is overflowing with Japan matters.
      There is simply no more room for German matters.
      I will just leave this to other volunteers.
      But still it’s suffice for me to note here:
      People should spare their tears for the Jews,
      if they only pay some attention to the
      century-long opium holocaust that
      Jews of Marx, Sassoons and Rothchilds
      caused more than 100 million deaths in China.
      Now here we have it:
      the potential new lands of alliance among
      Russia, China, Japan and Germany,
      untouchable by outside interventions.
      Since the arrival of America and
      its global-tramping way of
      aggression and expansion,
      we finally have a more powerful group
      that have total control of their own sovereignties.
      Based on the past records of these
      four countries, they will inevitably
      lead the world into a new era of automation and fitness,
      by leaving the nightmare of America in the dust.

    As usual, interesting points. Unfortunately you don't take your reasoning to its logical conclusion: if a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be really bad for Russia and also China, that means that's exactly what the Western powers are pushing for. Why would Russia want to invade Ukraine? All this manufactured hysteria in Western MSM (invasion has been imminent for 6months now) has only one goal: pushing Russia to make a mistake. Even the Ukranian president has wised up to it and is trying to de-escalate (he knows the Americans would throw Ukraine under the bus if it suits them without a second thought).
    Plus, Russia didn't invade Georgia in 2008. The Georgians took advantage of Putin's trip to Beijing to launch an offensive on Russian peacekeepers, thinking the West would back them. Boy, were they wrong...

    If Russian didn't put 100000 soldiers around Ukraine, Russian would not get attention of west, have them sit down to talk.
    Make the situation extra dramatic, they will also show Ukraine what the consequence of a war would look like... So to say scary them not to join Nato.
    I think Russian has almost gotten what they want from all the situation.
    If war started in Ukraine, only winner is USA which is not wanted by Russian and China.
    And the cold war thinking is also what USA wants
    -- let EU more depend on US, destabilize EU because of tension with Russian, keep dollars dominance
    -- also disrupt the relationship between EU and China , so to keep the old world order.

    Thanks, very interesting as always.
    To me, as a European, it appears that a new world order is taking shape for evolutionary and economic reasons and mainly I fear those who are capable of anything to prevent this from happening. I would like to have an Europe, which the US has an interest in keeping divided internally and from Russia, autonomous and with a strategic foreign policy, even of course within the Atlantic alliance, instead of with a satellite role. We Europeans need Russian gas, which costs much less than what the Americans would like to sell to us, and perhaps we should act in a way that defends our interests. Of course we have the same problem and we will have it more and more with China, and even in this case everything will be done so that our interests are not safeguarded.
    I think is very dangerous the play the US are carrying on, at every level including the financial one, and I'm reassured by learning from you that China is implicitly backing Russia even not in a official way. That might suggest a certain prudence to the Us. I would not rule out a master diplomatic action from the Chinese side to calm the spirits and recall the magnitude of the forces at play.

    Taiwan is a matter of sovereignty for China and Ukraine is a matter of security for Russia. Taiwan is more central to China’s core interest than Ukraine to Russia.
    China wants stability. Russia wants security. I can’t imagine Europe want war on their door step. But look who is shouting on the top of their lung there will be a war? Only the US want to instigating war everywhere as long as it’s not within their border.
    What China, Russia, and Europe want aren’t really in conflict. So there’s no reason that the Ukraine can’t be resolved peacefully, except that the US has installed in Ukraine leadership that believe Ukraine has to join NATO, which is unacceptable to Russia.

    The West and China have rather different perspectives on human rights. Neither side can claim the moral high ground.
    The Western perspective is focussed on *political* rights...the right to dissent, the right to elect their leader, etc. The Chinese perspective is focussed on *pragmatic* rights...the right to health, life, and safety, the right to have a roof over their heads, etc.
    The West are no more entitled to impose their value system on the Chinese than China is entitled to impose its value system on Westerners.
    Thus, the two sides must learn to coexist. The question is whether or not the West are open to doing so. I am not optimistic.

      HOW TO FINISHING WWIII
      America started WWIII in 1991.
      Now Russia has to finish it daintily.
      But whenever Russia’s going to settle a score,
      it’s the whole world that will be playing Russian roulette.
      We are lucky that China survived its color revolution in 1989.
      Otherwise, the world might not
      get over the covid-19 pandemics
      before we all become radioactive first.
      Anyway, America should quietly accept
      whose side China is on
      and not to poke China to hard
      to refresh its bad memory about Tiananmen,
      that might be to much a hit on the
      already fragile Sino-America relation.
      For the world to get out this mess,
      we need to clean up our messed up history first.
      Particularly, we need to find out
      what really happened in WWII
      with Germany and Japan.
      In 2007 America already did a reinvestigation of Japan.
      Basically, once the factual war records are
      let out after being buried for 70 years,
      Japan was officially found not guilty.
      America’s intention is to shift all the blames to China --
      that is, it’s China who lied about Japan.
      But the joke is really on America,
      since that lying China is not today’s China anymore.
      It’s the old China that conspired with America,
      to poison the blood between
      Japan and the Chinese people,
      for the purpose of start the Sino-Japanese War.
      So, the real bad ass of WWII in Asia was America.

      Well, this settles for Japan.

      when push comes to shovel reaches
      nuke weapon proportion.
      But how about Germany?
      My mind is overflowing with Japan matters.
      There is simply no more room for German matters.
      I will just leave this to other volunteers.

    Pascal, you demonstrated a remarkable, remarkable understanding of the current global situation. So perceptive. The US has been a bully globally for 50 years, trying to mold the world to best suit its own needs, and that era is coming to an end. China and Russia now have the strength to stand up and insist that the world moves away from the Us's rules based order and align with a global and multipolar order.
    This is truly a remarkable time to be alive to see this realignment taking place in the world. Let’s just hope the US doesn’t precipitate another world war in order to preserve its dominance.

    Looking forward to watching your video about China's definition of democracy and human rights. There are multiple ways to define democracy, and one common definition is a government _of the people, by the people, for the people._ Under this definition, the United States is not a democracy, it's a plutocracy where their government is _of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%._ Because the current U.S government just isn't delivering what the Americans want. However, Chinese government is actually delivering what the people want, that's why some consider China more democratic than the USA.

  • @albertwong1919
    @albertwong1919 2 года назад +2

    Well the reason this Ukraine issue started is because Russia doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO and China understands this from Russia's position. But the important question comes to mind is who really benefits from a war between Ukraine and Russia! If anyone can answer that than we can understand if Ukraine and Russia will be at war.
    Now the 2nd question comes to mind who benefits from this tension on a threat of an invasion of Ukraine! In my mind, Russia benefits as this puts the west on the backfoot and creates tension in the EU, NATO, US, UK, etc.. and also the rest of the world and it will be clear where each nation stands on this issue.
    China coming into this equation actually ensures that serious thought is given to the demands of Russia and reduces the threat of a real invasion by Russia of Ukraine, because this will provide the very excuse for the western powers led by the US to kickstart Coldwar2!
    So the conclusion is that if Russia invades Ukraine than US benefits as it can than lead the world towards a new cold war towards Russia and China and this might lead to WW3 and the consequences will be disastrous for the world. Now the question is will the US actually do it.... from history just to name a few of the countries Iran(overthrow to Iran's first democratic government and replace with the Shah, Libya depose Qaddafi because he wanted to use his wealth to help his fellow African countries to rid themselves of debt and control by the west , Iraq and getting rid of Saddam Hussein and fake WMD, lies, propaganda by the US and its media working in collusion this is very much a high possibility.

      @@PascalCoppens Looking forward to watching your video about China's definition of democracy and human rights. There are multiple ways to define democracy, and one common definition is a government _of the people, by the people, for the people._ Under this definition, the United States is not a democracy, it's a plutocracy where their government is _of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%._ Because the current U.S government just isn't delivering what the Americans want. However, Chinese government is actually delivering what the people want, that's why some consider China more democratic than the USA.

      @@Andy-P Why do you think that it will be such a short video? I think a video about "Democracy in China" exposes the fact that there are *multiple definitions* of what makes a democracy. In fact going by my earlier definition, China's government is _of the people, by the people, for the people._ Because the Chinese government is able to *deliver* what the Chinese want. According to a long term Harvard University and Ash Centre study, it has been revealed that around *80-90% of Chinese citizens support* the Communist Party of China.
      _A Harvard University survey has found that Chinese citizens' satisfaction with government has increased virtually across the board, with the central authorities receiving the strongest level of approval, increasing from _*_86 percent to 93 percent_*_ between 2003 and 2016, the period of the study._
      Whereas in the United States for example, they have government that's of the 1%, by the 1% and for the 1%, making USA a plutocracy, not a democracy. Because the US government just *isn't delivering* what the Americans want.

      @@Shenzhou. At least 51% of Chinese people are happy with the CCP - agreed. The rating is probably higher, and higher than majority of western governments. Oxford English definition of democracy. Government by the people; that form of government in which the sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them (as in the small republics of antiquity) or by officers elected by them. I know the CCP dictionary is different and is what you are probably quoting from. China is a autocracy. A regime in which power is concentrated in the person of a single individual. Again the CCP definition is probably different.

    Uiteraard komt mijn reactie eerder laat en heb ik hier het voordeel van hindsight gezien de recente ontwikkelingen in Oekraïne. Ik heb recent uw boek gelezen, 'China's New Normal'. Kortom gesteld vind ik uw analyse zeer sterk en objectief waarneembaar. Zeker de analyse van de focus op C2B-strategie voor bedrijven vond ik een waardevolle insteek. 1 bemerking in uw filmpje vond ik echter moeilijker te vatten: Toen u focuste op het verdrag tussen Rusland en China, benoemde u de positieve signalen die zij uitsturen over het samenwerken in de bestrijding van Corona. Ik zou u graag gelijk geven dat met name China momenteel een resoluut en helder beleid vormt over de bestrijding van Corona, doch houd ik ook in gedachten dat hun initiële respons eerder minder consistent was. De eerste 3 maanden van de uitbraak heerste er veel onduidelijkheid over de schaalgrootte en de ontwikkelingen van de besmettingen. Ook het Chinees Nieuwjaar werd als viering niet uitgesteld. Een jaar later werd in Wuhan een museum-expositie geopend waarbij het krachtdadig handelen van de CCP benadrukt werd in het bestrijden van deze longziekte. In Rusland zagen we een gelijkaardig scenario door het uitblijven van officiële cijfers qua besmettingen die in scherp contrast stonden met de oversterftecijfers. Net daarom heb ik moeite met de waarheid achter een dergelijke belofte, bekeken vanuit het handelen van beide landen in het nabije verleden. Kunt u uw visie hierover geven?

    I know this is a somewhat different angle on things, but you all seem quite well-informed. I have a very simple and naive question - but still: Why doesn't Ukraine hand Donetsk and Lugansk - or half or partly - over to Russia? Why keep the conflict going in those areas? When a large part of the population wants to be Russian and the other part wants to stay Ukrainian, why not have each control their own area together with respectively Ukraine and Russia?
    Ukraine would no longer be in internal and ongoing conflict, and at the same time Russia could not use this conflict as an opening to who knows what.
    Seems 'easy' and natural to change the border, so that part of those areas become Russian - as they seem to already be.
    What do you think?

    I agree with a lot of what you say here. Particularly all the China aspects. NATO works and has kept the peace amongst it’s members. Only collective security like NATO can stop Putin’s ambitions of re-creating Russian sphere’s of influence. Putin’s antics have made NATO closer and they are agreeing where before they weren’t so much. Sweden may join. Increasing number of Finns view NATO favorable but not a majority. Members are spending more on defence. Ukraine & Georgia are a long way from joining - years. But they are sovereign nations and if they meet the requirements have that option. Collective security works. An invasion of Ukraine won’t initiate a NATO military response. PS Russia is not far away from America. They face off across the Bearing Strait

Xi was selected to be the leader by his peers, because of his capability and track record over decades and basically he was the best man to lead China.
