United States hosts these summits without really offering anything tangible to participants. China hosts these summits while bringing tangible benefits to other participants, such as infrastructure development (i.e roads, railway, highways, bridges, tunnels, etc).
That a US senator says, about China, "they are eating our lunch" shows the immense scorn of this guy for Latin American countries. If I were american I would be ashamed and if latino-american I would feel insulted. This alone could explain the failure of US policy.
I remember speaking with Africans and Sri Lankans telling me how much they prefer dealing with China. They aren't saying that anymore. The one good thing about COVID was it really opened Africa's eyes about China.
Democracy is not good or bad by itself. It's merely a means to an end. All people want to eat better, live better, be better. If Democracy achieves that end, it's good, if not, it's bad. A case may be made for the ends to justify the means, but means can never justify the ends. Before Libya's color revolution, they had universal healthcare, universal free college education, and free housing upon marriage. After Libya had democracy, their people's social welfare is gone, their living standard dropped, their life expectancy dropped. In this case, Democracy is, in fact, evil, because it achieved an evil end. If you think of Democracy as good, even in cases where it decrease people's life expectancy, it's a sign that you've been brainwashed, and need to make a conscious effort to undo your indoctrination. Gaddhafi's dictatorship that brought universal healthcare, free college, free housing, higher life expectancy to Libya, an African nation, is, objectively speaking, better than the democracy that replaced it. This is an objective truth that debunks the subjective bias we've been brainwashed with since childhood.
Why is the US pushing around Democratic system is to be applied? Isn’t every country FREE to opt their preferences? Why meddle & make trouble to others? That’s insane …
Your statement that america is a two party system at this time is inaccurate. Both parties are essentially the same entity. Paid for by the same donors. Controlled by the same donors. There is currently no discernible "democracy" in america.
@@amp051947 And what has _she_ done about it? How's the thing about stopping funding and support for the Saudi genocide in Yemen? How's the 'Build back better' campaign working out? *ALL* the progressives sold out, Pelosi/Biden defanged *ALL* of them. About the only thing more disappointing than Joe Biden are the 'progressive' sellouts.
As Argentinian I can say that China presence here is do to the US favouring UK relationships down in the Atlantic. The UK doesn't want investments to come to Argentina so they pressure the US not to invest here in anything. I remember that China offered to build and invest on a sea port in our province of Tierra del Fuego so our ships could travel easier our goods, the ambassador of the US along side the female general came all the way down here to order our Governor to say "no" to China, so he ask them and offer the US to invest on the infrastructure and they responded that "the US isn't interested in that project and we don't want to ruin our relationship with the UK our closest ally" so there you all go. China wins.
Há um interesse comum: contrariar UK. Mas pegar as Malvinas de volta vai custar soberania e territórios Vão trocar a Patagônia por umas ilhas geladas. A armadilha chinesa do endividamento já é conhecida. Eles não são o FMI. Vão querer ativos reais Mas o tio Sam é um idiota. Ele só entra para piorar as coisas. Sempre em nome da democracia, claro 🤣🤣🤣
Wait till this western nations comevwith their human rights agenda aka lgbtq+++ to destroy your country from inside and all your values.. What you mean you dont go along...after we helped you so much argentina...k then you want it like this? We will sanction you!!
It may be difficult to believe, but China's one party state essentially has to *represent all* 100% of Chinese interests (or at least 80-90%) because there is no other party to blame for any mistake. Whereas the U.S's two party state only has *partial representation* by either the Democrats or the Republicans who represent maybe around 51% of American's interests? (P.S Some believe the real figure is actually just 1% of American's interests, if you know what I mean.)
China's one-party governance serves the interests of more than 90% of the Chinese people, but it is not controlled by big financial groups. The US Democratic and Republican parties both serve big financial groups, such as rifle associations, military-industrial enterprises, oil, and financial capitalists.
Not sure how many Americans know who Julius Nyerere was, but I do! Anyway, there is greater separation between the American parties than in his day. Whether that is to the benefit of Americans or the Americas or the world remains to be seen.
yes that is right, tiny cuba and other tiny nations in the area are in the AMERICAN backyard and rely on OUR protection and influence to prevent other much more aggressive forces from making them THEIR backyard... at least the USA respects these countries rights to be their own country with their own rules and ways of life.
I dont think that will change anything. People call it America simply because it's the name. The same way we call Mexico even though it's technically the United Mexican States. I think the problem is that people fail to see context, which is more of an individual problem. Many people also differentiate the two by calling the continents "the Americas" or "Las Americas". What you're saying is completely minor and irrelevant to the actual problem and relationship dynamic.
@aliciadematteis7181 This i may agree more upon. But again, context is a big part of what you're talking about. I know that in spanish this is easily solved by saying estadounidense, but i guess it's still a problem in English.
@@a-teamproductions600 yes and the response to my comment is that it's not important and it really is because it comes with the problem that non educated people (the majority) just can't tell the difference and in their mind they have rights over land they don't own.
@carlosmgh3 you took the words out of my mouth. I completely agree with you. Starting with that, the U.S calling them selfs “America” is dehumanizing everyone else in the american continent.
It used to be Spanish America. But France under Napoleon III wanted to intervene culturally and called it "Latin America" as French was also Latin like Spanish language. So it was an attempt to make France have cultural influence in former Spanish territory.
@@lobbyskids2 i wasnt thinking it was "in a gay way" until you went ahead and said "not in a gay way".....it's like some random stranger approaching you on the street and saying "i'm not a murderer".......
As an American you saying Countries should be able to run their countries as they see fit is so true! I don't understand why they are so involved in everyone elses business. Its like they run our country as a "Democracy" but treat everyone else like a dictatorship. At some point I know the American government will pay for their ego & actions. It will affect the citizens the worst because of their poor decisions.
Usa sees countries as lunch but you know what happens to a greedy lion in unknown territory it gets killed by numbers and enemy pacts and I mean look at Hungary and Turkey which is 6th strongest military after Turkey created the Turkic military union Kazakistan, Azerbaycan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, ozbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, joined and now Hungary due to Turkish ancestry a total of 400 million population they wish to leave nato if this new union joins China and Russia as I heard pakistan wants to join the Turkic military union a nukeleer power also The US refused to help Turkey with weopons now its the 4th in the world in sales and US also didn't let it buy weopons due to wanting it to be divided with weopons sales to PKK and now YPG to clear ISIS when all it had to do was ask a nato member Turkey to do it but it arm's pkk kurds still well guess what their leaving nato with Hungary and Bosnia wishes to join was on the news if they kick out US bases in incirlik and place Russian and chinese bases then europe will fall in hours
American refers to the continent, the country is the United States; you are a United States citizen, American refers to all people from the continent, like European.
China's one-party governance serves the interests of more than 90% of the Chinese people, but it is not controlled by big financial groups. The US Democratic and Republican parties both serve big financial groups, such as rifle associations, military-industrial enterprises, oil, and financial capitalists.
If you think military industry has that much control over the US gov't then put your money where your mouth is and go buy some Lockhead Martin and Raytheon stock. You are bound to make money......
So true, in China the political machine controls the corporations, in the US the corporations control the politicians who make laws favorable to the corporations.
@@jascam1 In china government control corporation. in usa corporation control government. That's the huge difference between china and usa. In China If there is billionaire and company that are too arrogant and monopolistic. The government gonna break it down. Right now usa is strife with this problems where google, Facebook,power, oil company has too much power
Not true, the Chinese government doesn't serve the interests of the Chinese people, it is a dictatorship, where the same guy"wins the elections" the have something called social credit, meaning you as a citizen get points, they spy on you and control everything. That's why Chinese workforce is efficient, they work them to, literally, death. USA and China's government are not different.
@@howardrash2446 No solo es culpa de Trump ,es de Biden ,Clinton,Obama osea de los presidentes EEUU. An querido pisotear América latina talvez porque no somos la misma cultura,idiomas, diferentes orígenes-gente,religión,gastronomía...etc con la EEUU,ni siquiera nosotros sabemos ¿el PORQUÉ?. Pero no tienen ningún derecho a tratarnos mal, con soberbia y petulancia los Americanos Latinos, saben sabemos su historia y no hay de ella de que ser orgullosos cuando aniquilaron a los Nativos Americanos pero bien hipócritas culpando a los demás de que no ejercen tolerancia a las demás etnias humanas. Siento que el mismo gobierno EEUU les a contado un cuento a los USA y crean que todo el mundo ama a EEUU. Solo les digo que son el niño Bullying que acosa a todos. América Latina ahora se está acercando más a Europa(por historia ) y Asia. Pasamos de EEUU.
I‘m happy that more and more countries in Africa, Asia and South America wake up and stand up against the US. Europe (EU) is still licking their boot and the big loser in the upcoming times. (And I‘m European)
The EU countries are losing big time to America because of the Ukraine war --- they are forced to buy VERY expensive American oil and gas instead of much cheaper Russian ones. The Americans even blew up the Nord Stream pipeline to make sure this continues indefinitely
As Latino-American I feel absolutely disgusted on how the US government sees our countries, we're nothing but their "backyard", also, the trade relationships between our countries are completely harmfull only for the LATAM countries, the US can't never lose or let a smaller country to win anything. And last but not least, it just only takes to read a few pages of history between their government snd our countries, you'll rapidly find that they hadn't been as friendly as anyone can expect, but yeah, they have shown to the entire world that our people are nothing but criminals, cheap work force or even only poor hungry animals escaping from their corrupt governments to the land of oportuinites, that can be seen in the media that they produce on their streaming plataforms, movies, etc. It is not a coincidence that when somebody says they name of one of our countries You can only think in the imaginary that series or tv shows created about us
Good, it’s about time someone stands up to the US as an Australian I’m sick and tired of the declining United States and it’s declining terrible influence as in bad influence.
The main difference is probably the fact that China wins its allies with investment, while the US probably offers only democracy. Both countries aim for exploitation and influence...So we have a clear winner. Not very familiar with the US foreign policy, but this is a fact for China as well in the African countries. They made huge investments in local airports, schools and other projects, which help local people.
I b0rrowed this from a Malaysian Y0uTuber’s c0mment: I’m from Malaysia. CHlNA has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our l4nd. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When CHlNA wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time CHlNA expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred CHlNA, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. Yuan Dynasty, although being based in CHlNA, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into CHlNA to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which CHlNA lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in CHlNA, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of CHlNA to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in CHlNA. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with CHlNA, which again, CHlNA lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, CHlNA’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, CHlNA suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were r4ped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s CHlNA was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought CHlNA together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous 'bl4ck-cat and wh1te-cat' story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed CHlNA. This thinking allowed CHlNA to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in CHlNA. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of CHlNA. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to CHlNA, was riding on the economic boom in CHlNA, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a go0d life and CHlNA has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing g0od to say about it. CHlNA suffers from intense ant1-CHlNA pr0pagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards CHlNA. Everything CHlNA does is negatively reported. They claimed CHlNA used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed CHlNA was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused CHlNA of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed CHlNA underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is CHlNA has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in CHlNA, and 2100 in the US. CHlNA has about 3 times more mosque per musl1m than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, CHlNA had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur (CENS0RED by RUclips) before they turned (CENS0RED by RUclips). 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. CHlNA chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When CHlNA took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When CHlNA recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When CHlNA’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash CHlNA. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from CHlNA which do b4d things, but the CHlNA government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too g0od. Fortunately CHlNA is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in CHlNA will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland CHlNA, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low d*rty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-4lert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want CHlNA to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull CHlNA down. The recent movement by the US against CHlNA has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and CHlNA decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s CHlNA’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. CHlNA will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. CHlNA’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world. I have deep sympathy for CHlNA for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. CHlNA is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. G0od luck CHlNA. **(This message has been c3nsored on RUclips, I replaced some letters of the text with numbers to avoid the YT 4lgorithm)
The rank and file here in the US is crying out for help. If Uncle Same doesn't spend on his own nieces and nephews, clearly he's not going to spend on "the help".
Their respective goals are different, hence the different approaches. One seeks to enslave mankind not at all unlike it did in the recent past. The other seeks to avoid being enslaved by first strengthening those in a similar situation and standing together with them, if only for its own security. This is not a competition for influence. This is a defensive struggle against an evil race of humans (to be blunt), who are so impressed with themselves, they have gone mad.
Carefull, power corrupts everyone. Time takes care of it. There's a point when ALL countries need to be put in its place. I agree now it's the time to put the US in its place (and it's already overdue) but in the future China will also need to be put in its place. That is just human nature, not because the ones are better or worse than the others.
I don't know if it's purely China supporting other countries, they probably have secret reasons as to why they're doing this, but I completely agree with your stance on Americans. We are so drunk on our own perverted ideas of freedom and success it has led to us not even able to lead ourselves, and when we push onto other countries, it has disastrous results. I'm really hoping we can smarten the hell up and lead our country on the noble ideals it was founded on, not this disgusting reality where many think its OK to forcefully overthrow our government because they don't have the mental capacity to know the election wasn't stolen
the US had been living Tedding Rossavelt"s policy over a hundred years ago. " speak softly but carry a big stick" and using that big stick to intimidate every nation on earth
Thanks Cyrus for trying to bring sanity to US/China relations. I disagree the US is a democracy. Being able to vote for one of a low number of bad candidates, hand picked by large political donors is not in the intention of democracy. We have a one party/two faces system of oligarchs serving the MIC/Wall Street with the people a low priority.
Sadly true for the US. Many influential Americans especially US main stream media are fearful for voting those with more leftist leaning. Essentially the US is a plutocracy and the military industrial complex is one of the major ruling class.
With all the deeply geopolitic-related comments around here, I'm amazed that NO ONE has mentioned the obvious: *Chinese products are cheaper than American ones... Doing business with them therefore, is cheaper... AND their quality is top* As capitalists, that's a rather obvious choice.
Brazil and China are complementary economies, since the US and Brazil are competing economies; Besides, it is vital for the US that a country of almost 9 million square kilometers and 220 million inhabitants NEVER develop
@@hackman669 You gotta be kiddin me! did you save yours? Is the US an example of forest and environmental conservation? I don't think so! So don't give your opinion on our forests, our fauna and our people! Our environment is by far better preserved than yours.
I try to explain this every day to Brazilians who love the USA. They really believe that doing what the US suggests will make Brazil as rich as the US. These same Brazilians have accepted the US rhetoric and come to believe that Brazil's problem is China. Honestly, I believe that of the BRICS, Brazil is the least reliable, because the country is dominated by traitors who want to sell all our strategic companies, preferably to the US. Maybe you already know that Brazil is about to find another gigantic oil reserve. The current president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, will have serious problems if this new reservation is confirmed, because the pirates (USA and United Kingdom) will do everything to destabilize our Brazil, with the intention of overthrowing President Lula and electing some puppet that sell our oil to foreign companies. Just thinking about that possibility already makes me feel discouraged.
Awesome video my man. Thank you for sharing this information. It’s crazy where we are heading to. I’m American from Salvadoran roots and can confirm the pov of El Salvador as well as other Latin American nations towards the US compared to China has changed very much. This administration is only making it worse.
China helps other countries with Trades & Infrastructure projects . US helps other countries with Bombs & Weaponry . China teaches other countries to grow food. US trains other countries to fight wars .
I live in America and was born here but the one thing that really sticks out to me about America is that we claim to be tolerant of other people but we have incredibly supremacist views when it comes to the political-economic dimension. We think we are the end of history but we are just another ideology and another empire. We purposely ignore the fact that the US has arguably the best geography, natural resources, and consumed more energy than any empire in history. We think our ideology made us strong and therefore better than everyone else. We openly show contempt for every other country. It’s kinda insane how we can have so much cognitive dissonance about tolerance. Our leaders are so out of touch and our country is going down a dark path. If I could give a piece of advice to other countries I’d tell them to try and slowly ween themselves off trade with America.
The way how US senators refer to the region as: "our hemisphere" "our backyard" or in Biden words: "our front yard" that alone tells you how US government sees the rest of american countries, as inferior, weak, manipulative, puppet countries that either align with the US or become enemies of the US, only authoritarians think in absolutes, and makes many countries see china and russia as possible allies, after all they don't interfere with latin America's domestic affairs, and have not invaded Latin America militarily, like the Chinese proverb said: "it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice" China its about business not about political alignment. The "Monroe Doctrine" has already expired, and US government hasn't even realized yet.
@Beast Mode Good. Keep it that way and soon you get 5 times more homeless people in US than in India. More gun related death than Ukraine & Russia conflict. Long live USA.......
If coercion can still work, then the US might have a chance. Countries in Latin America are waking up, and there's one reliable country they could look up to for economic dependence.
Hi Cyrus! Love your videos, always learn lots from them! I'd really appreciate to hear your thoughts on the new Blue Pacific alliance (openly stated as being against China)... Do you think this has the potential to turn into a military thing, or purely economical/political? Many thanks if you DO cover the topic!! 😊
Excellent content as always. TBH I’m even surprised it isn’t taken down. But you probably want to take a look down the street. ‘Might be a black van parked somewhere 😅. Keep up the good work. And thank you
I think the issue boils down to a question of respect. If you've dealt with Chinese, you will know that respect has a special importance to them. On the other hand, Americans have a "my way or highway" attitude. It's no wonder most of the world is slowly leaning towards working with China
Such a speech! I'm Mexican i live in Texas, what you mentioned in this video should be listen by the us government,cause is the real life what we living on,
I don't see how the expansion of China's influence can be a problem for the US. After all, as the Department of State said in January, "US is committed to the principle that countries are free to choose their own alliances".
Looking at Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Peru as classic examples. They are the biggest beneficiaries of Chinese economic rise in that part of the world. Keeping an eye on Mexico, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Colombia and Panama
Hey Cyrus Janssen, the USA has moved Latin America to "Front Yard" status! Earlier this year, US senators on the senate floor referred to Latin America as "in our front yard"😀 So going from the backyard to the front yard is progress I guess! 🤷🏼
Usa : feeling offended that china is "eating their lunch" China where almost every country is siding with the usa (especially taiwan, japan, south korea, philipines, malaysia, indonesia and singapore) 😑🤦♂
Well worth listening to the Hon Kevin Rudd CEO of the Asia Society in New York he also has a new book out called "The Avoidable War." The book is about avoiding military confrontation of USA and China. The paralells of what Cyrus has said in this excellent presentation about Latin America or the similar events in the Pacific and with China are obvious. The question is, when will Washington listen, probably not anytime soon because when the US is losing an economic war they turn it into a military war which historically has been a win, win for the US. Peace to you all.
You know, I am a Latin American and let me say. We are not americans backyard, we are independent countries and I hate communism I hate the fact China does not have a democracy but all countries are free to choose who they will do business with. If United States truly defends freedom, you must respect our choices
Illuminating video, thank you. It is clear that when certain aspects of politics and economy don't fit the USA governments (not the peoples) perspective or narrative that there are clear consequences, beginning with banishment and segregation. South America, Central America, The Caribbean and Mexico need to be running their own independent summits which reflect all Latin people. As far as China is concerned, if the investments and the contractual agreements are fair and there is benefit for both parties without either of them losing control over their own nations and a level of respect, even with their differences, is upheld, then it's good.
I was going to comment but reading some of the comment written by some "good Americans" I decided not to. Let me quote some of the comments: "Well get ready to learn Chinese buddy" "We refer to you as “our back yard” only because you are litterally geographically speaking, our back yard. It’s not a pejorative. It’s a metaphor, because if the US was a house, your position to us would be, our back yard. It’s just a turn if phrase to lend metaphor so it’s more relatable and able to be understood how grave the scenario is. Not an insult and you should not be insulted by it. If you were referring to yourself we would be your front yard." I gave to examples, the first one is outright ignorant and condescending the second one is paternalistic and condescending You see, this is why they are choosing China.
US: "Build a sustainable, resilient and equitable future" ... Wow that is copying China's policy of reaching out to developing and poor countries. In her speech, it is Barbados PM's second lecture to the West, i.e. "talking at instead of talking with" when approaching developing countries, totally opposite to China. Jansen is absolutely correct in everything he said in this video. 👍
At 3:15 you say "whatever is good for America is good for the world", in fact it's more like "whatever is good for American elite, and damn with the rest". Proof is the tragedy of Ukraine were we see to what extent the US is capable of going to weaken Russia and help finance the US arms industry... And Ukraine is no isolated case, thanks to Julian Assangs we know that similarly the US used Afghanistan, Chechnya, Irak, Libya, the Uighurs etc...
Just come across your well analysed topic between the differences between China and the US (I rather called American because no United the country and Americans now). You pointed directly to the objectives of America especially America goes to other countries not for helping their economies and infrastructure but for military gains purposes to either selling weapons or warships or figter jets and set the military base in those countries. In other hand, China approaches the less developed countries to help them with infrastructure and economies to gain the trust. This is a best strategy than aim to build the American military base in those countries.
Famous American brands are disappearing from Brazil: Ford left the country after a century of production. Apple registers first loss in sales in Brazil in 2023. And even the traditional North American allies: Toyota (Japan), Volkswagen (Germany), Hyundai (South Korea) are paralyzing production. The consumer electronics market is dominated by China.
The American adminstrations for the laz 30 years has a "disconnection" problem. Here's an example given by the lndonesian Foreign Minister ... "China ( Wang Yi ) came with gifts and asked 'What do you need?'. America ( Blinken ) came empty handed and TELL US to contain China." China focus on what lndonesia needs, US focus on what itself want at the expense of others. Who do you think lndonesia will lean to?
I really hate to tell you this, but as someone who has worked in the sphere of businesses who receive government contracts I can tell you that this was how they talked about these places for years. People (average ordinary travelers and the like) have always tried to give a more empathetic lens to these countries and communities and were criticised heavily about their position on the perspective of some these 'global or multi national businesses' and their perspective when it came to how they treat the local population and their overall ESG score. It fell on deaf ears. Now more of these populations know the truth. That's their attitude. You're their way to gain a dollar or dime "their lunch money".

Last time two superpowers began looking at Latin America as a power struggle to gain more support we had a wave of US-supported coups and dictatorships. In Argentina, up to 30.000 people went missing due to the will of keeping other ideology off their "backyard", one of many countries affected by Plan Condor to keep the Soviets out. Over 80.000 people confirmed killed or missing, according to surveys found in Paraguay. Almost two decades of repression and fear in the south cone. It does seems history's destined to repeat.
@@YbisPeck Look, I hope that is the case, but the US is a crazed and brutal culture. I worry that if the US is backed into a corner to give up it's hegemony it will take down a lot of innocent people.
The ColdWar was very unfortunate, and was quite destructive. The U.S.S.R. ( and China, to a lesser extent) did pose a significant threat and required substantial resistance. The U.S.'s predilection for economic warfare - and regime change, and support for dictators - were all questionable tactics, and cast a shadow on U.S. history. I am stunned that US invaded Iraq on false pretenses, and then followed with attacks on Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. While I agree that Ukraine ought not be a Russian vassal, I'm horrified that U.S. policy involved ignoring the Minsk II agreements, and Stoltenberg & Blinken insisting on having Ukraine join NATO. U.S. policy to Russia would be apt if Russia were still Communists intent on destroying us (which is not what is happening).
You do not know that Russia is in Europe and that zUkraine has been part is f it for centuries ? There is nothing to compare with south america the Coups organised by the US provoking revolutions and disorder murders etc had degraded all the countries and now that each of them is standing well The USA must not be accepted as a help or a protector as they say if US is your friend it is in fact your worst enemy
Latin America is not the US' or anyone's backyard. No place should be labeled this, but I got what you meant given the context. Great video! Your channel is getting a lot of views recently and I'm glad that more people in the USA are listening to you.

China was blaming people of African origin for the pandemic and denying blacks access to their subway and service to their restaurants in 2020. Look it up.
I am from Brazil and the History of US actions in this region has very little to do with improving democracy and human rights. It's pretty much the contrary. China in the other hand does not seems to care about anything except business. China in the last 4 os 5 years has become our biggest economic partner with 2 times the volume of trade if we consider our trade with US and they want more.
@@CyrusJanssen About two years ago our former "ministro das relações exteriores" (the same as secretary of State in the US) Ernesto Araujo, lost his job because he was very open about his position agaisnt China growing influence over Brazil and South America and very openly pro USA. The problem is: in the last 4 or 5 years China has become our biggest comercial partner. When the chinese government demonstrated its disconfort with the public opinions of Ernesto Araújo about China the brazilian government had no choice but let him go. The business people here demanded some response from the president. We share the same democratic values as the american people and the american culture is dominant over here. There is also a lot of distrust towards China in most brazillian minds and many many people don't like the Idea of a chinese influence over south America due their autocratic regime but I must be honest and say that: this is changing. And I don't see the USA doing anything to prevent that and regain it's position. Even the military - the most pro USA group in our society - are starting to move towards China. Something I never thought possible. Basically the chinese understand that with business the political influence is a natural consequence and America seems to believe it is the other way around.

As a Brazilian, I can say the US has already lost this battle. Latin Americans have always felt undermined and controlled by the American governement, while China has a friendly approach, treating our countries as equals. The question I ask myself is whether the US will accept it peacefully or destabilize our democratically elected governments.
@@indiandaeng because is the closest place with the better social security and better paid jobs? It helps that there is already an stablished community of fellow compatriots who hopefully can support them.
As a Latin American, I can say that most of us would choose China over the US out of spite, the US refers to us in a dehumanizing way, for example calling us their backyard, also the US has a bad record with us, many coups, rigged elections and interference.
As a fellow American I understand why you think that way. You're right. I vote and I always vote against politicians that support exploiting the rest of America. South America is America. So is Latin America.
Or even damaging every time our reputation to the world... is always the same shit, teaching their own people that we're all mexicans or stuff like that via hollywood. I live in Europe and even people that eats the crappy maketing, they don't believe in the U.S. government anymore. Saludos
I'm Brazilian who loves the USA... but it seems that Americans don't feel the same way about us. we are seen as simple Latinos. The US sees us as competitors and rivals... China sees us as partners and allies. I would prefer a thousand times to have a brotherly relationship with the USA since we are brothers on the American continent but it seems that the USA does not want a Brazil with more than 200 million inhabitants to be a power because they see us as rivals... so we will embrace the opportunity that our Chinese brothers are giving us. china is already our biggest partner and we are going to fight for the fall of the dollar so as not to be hostage to future sanctions coming from the USA since the USA uses its currency as a weapon. Long live Brazil and long live China. as my mom says... we have to care who cares about us. USA doesn't care about its brothers in the southern hemisphere... unfortunately!

Give up on the USA buddy, you're simply not anglo or white enough for them. South Korea got a taste of it, one of US's biggest allies in Asia against China, and they were snubbed from getting nuclear submarine deal, which was signed by Australia, UK and US, called AUKUS. Australia has a small population compared to any other big country, but their ethnicity, entitles them to anything the US deems not suitable for most countries, such as nuclear technology. The problem with America's backyard, is that they look up to America like it's the epitome of civilised society, because of all the Hollywood movies, Hollywood is controlled by AIPAC btw. Wash that American dirt off your eyes, and travel to China, you'll realise how your life has been a big lie all along 😂🤣😅
There's Afghanistan for example, china managed to get the trade of resources from them without firing a single bullet, just by being friendly to them and respecting them
I'm a Mexican who just learned that the US's department of state is financing our current government's opposition. We have struggled for decades of corruption and fraud in all sectors, and we just recently were able to vote for better party, and the US is trying to undermine that because it's against their interests. That, among many, many other reasons, is why our president is so angry with the US, and so are we.

As an American I’m very much looking forward to the collapse of the American empire. I fucking love how we have a $900 billion dollar military budget and have no problem overthrowing governments around the world and fuckin over countries for the benefit of a few corporations while the average joes here are barely making it. There’s a reason why socialism is becoming more popular among the youth. We’re tired of seeing the fucking while also getting fucked
While North Americans can't decide whether we are their "lunch" or their "backyard" (or both), China keeps coming to us with real proposals. Obviously China has its own interests and a somewhat obscure agenda, but they have invested a lot in our country and, above all, they have treated us with respect.
The Chinese agenda is quite clear. First they make you filthy rich, so you can consume much more products and gain profit through long-term trade. Sometimes they don't even consider how much they can benefit through trade, as long as you keep buying products and the Chinese workers wouldn't lose jobs.
I'm a Jamaican who has lived in the US for 24 years, and Cuba is only 90 miles from us. We love Cuba and the Cuban people. America has strangled the Cuban economy for the last 40+ years, and that couldn't break them, and America has sponsored the worst and bloodiest election in Jamaican history, by giving the opposition guns, because the other side were close to Cuba. America has done nothing but brain drain my country, and explore it for cheap labor, now I can proudly say that China has been building much needed infrastructure in our country, and its a good look. America actually took notice as to what has been happening, and wanted to make their presence felt, so they sent an admiral of the navy to deliver their message. Not a diploma, someone from the military. Message received loud and clear, and we are pressing ahead full steam. We may live in your backyard, but the land that we are on is ours.
as horrible as the US government is, "eating our lunch" is an american expression for "beat us." he's not calling latin america his lunch. the US government often does treat Latin America that way so I see why you interpreted it that way in any case.
@@benitocamelo1488 A América é nojeta, graças a Deus aqui no Brasil todo mundo sabe (Ou pelo menos 95% das pessoas sabem) que os EUA só trazem danos... Guarde o que eu falo irmão de continente. Nós vai ficar potente
Imagine calling it "our hemisphere" and referring to Chinas trade deals with the american countries as "eating our lunch". Can you get any more imperialistic? Your hemisphere? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of nations, (at least to the south of you), that would strongly disagree with such a statement. The hemisphere doesn't belong to USA. Also, "eating our lunch" sounds like a freudian slip that is casually admitting that the american continents is nothing more than sustenance for the USA. Absolutely awful lack of respect for other nations. Also, this constant idea of calling latin american and caribbean countries the "backyard" of the US ... It's very patronizing and disrespectful. It's like they are not "real" countries. They don't get to live along the street, so they have to stay in our "backyard". You see the exact same with the smaller pacific countries, like the Solomon Islands. They are not treated as a fellow country but as the "backyard" of Australia. And predictably, the people of that nation are getting pretty tired of being treated like that. Mia Mottley of Barbados was very clear in an interview with BBC how she felt about that characterization; pointing out that they are NEIGHBORS to the USA and should be treated as such. Smaller, yes, but no less a country than anyone else. The main reason USA is losing its grip is because they have zero diplomatic tact and skill. They have a failing economy and less and less to offer. They have a very unsteady foreign policy that changes every 4 or 8 years, often 180 degrees. Something for example Iran has gotten extremely "done" with. Also, when all their "foreign aid" consists of arming rebel groups and building american military bases, while all the actual money never leaves the USA. They end up lining the pockets of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the rest of the ghoulish death merchants over there. USA built up all its power abroad through force, or threats of force. The only reason they allied with western Europe after WW2 was to get a strategic beachhead against the Soviets. Not because they ever cared one bit about the well-being of the people in Europe. They've tried the same on all other continents, and for a while it worked. But now, there are other powers that can be much more beneficial do deal with. So why wouldn't they? China only demands that you stay out of their internal affairs, and they'll stay out of yours. With that as a basis they'll trade with you and invest in all kinds of projects. And no, it's not a debt trap. This has been debunked by economic experts over and over, yet keeps repeated in a desperate attempt to smear China. In the end, it's a VERY good deal for countries that have been bullied by USA for decades. It's the same thing in Africa where the nations still carry massive scars from western colonial times. Then in comes China and treats them like fellow nations instead of pawns. No wonder they sign onto BRI. "our hemisphere" ... don't make me vomit. (Edited for a typo that annoyed me, I meant to say all the "actual money" instead of "actualy money") Edit: Thanks for all the likes and positive responses. Glad to see that more people reacted to this blatant show of "american exceptionalism" at its worst.

In countries like Brazil and Argentina, the powerhouses of South America, the hate toward USA is quite deep. It's a long long history of boycott in economy aspects, military, technological and etc. It's understandable that when USA asks for Brazil and Argentina to join and sanction Russia, for those Latin countries to refuse as its happening now.
I am brazilian, Europe and America started to pressure us claiming Amazonia as not 'ours' and ceasing to do business, so we needed to approach China. There is nothing to be gained involving ourselves in a war which is not ours, we are not even NATO members, and we already had business which Russia, if the military complex from USA wants to profit from war , do it alone. Even if Putin is not a fine person, i don't think Zelensky smell like roses either. It do not 'hate' USA, but their late choices of administration and policies does not make me happy, and i am sure even americans will not enjoy at the end, but that is their problem, not mine.

That right, tell the citizen of the USA, how the power houses in south American and Brazil hate people in the USA, and explain why their citizen is over running this country.
America choosing to leave out the countries you mentioned in the summit was a passive aggressive move to show Latin America "who's the boss" and it was not taken well at all. For a while US was the most feasible super power Latin America can trade and form relations with but an alternative is here and it is China. America is digging its own grave with these blatant display of "power moves". A good and productive event could have been held in the summit but ego and pride of America ruined it.
How good is that, but never forget THE PLAN CONDOR of the eightieth, that still vivid in the mind of so many south American. The question is: will THE EVIL EMPIRE let the South act as free nations, the verdict is still not defined...Time will tell. FINGERS CROSSED!
The problem for the US is that they keep using same old strategies in a changing world. Well, their arrogance and lack of flexibility is being a good thing for the rest of the world. But it is up for each country to take advantage of these new times or let them pass and stay behind.

Do your have any evidence or is butt hurt speaking? China it’s not only eating the us lunch but breakfast and dinner to it’s time for the whole continent to celebrate their 2 second independence freedom from the imperial beast
What the the US failed to mention is that the vast majority of the countries that China does business with approach China to do business with China, not the other way around. They saw the great results China has brought for its business partners and so they want to be a part of it. So all of these "China is seeking to put countries into debt traps and lure countries into its sphere of influence" accusations by the US is simply another lie made up by the anti-China propaganda machine known as the USA! It's getting to the point where the US's entire foreign agenda is to sit back and watch what China is doing and then go in there to try to mess things up for China! The US has no strategy nor any good intention for other countries whatsoever when it comes to its foreign policies. Its entire strategy is to undo whatever China is doing with other countries with whatever force it takes to undo it! It's such a loser's mentality! I want to say the US is the Tonya Harding of international competition, but using Tonya Harding as an analogy for the US's shady ways is an insult to Tonya Harding since Tonya Harding doesn't do 1/1 billionth of the crimes that the US government does on a daily basis!
I live in Chile, really loved that senator refer to our continent as your lunch 🤦🏻♂️. US history in Latin America is pretty dark, it's really not surprising why this region chooses China over the US.
Chile use to have good relionships with the US in the past, but that ended with Nixon's decision to overthrow a democratically elected president and support a dictatorship. Since then i could say, Chilean people do not trust US as a reliable partner. Personally, i think it would have been a good idea to recognize the past mistakes and start a new stage in relationships, but than never happen. As a latinamerican, the thing that bother us the most is being called the US backyard bc as countrys we are all equal, that's disrespectful.
Nixon didn't overthrow Allende, Pinochet got the nod that the US would continue trade and made the decision based on doctrine that goes back to O'Higgins and Portales. It was NOT an American coup. I share your frustration but get your facts straight. Also, if you think China is better you're nuts. China is just in a perfect position to capitalize on the US leadership's lack of tact and cleverness, that's all.
@@chrlzortz It has nothing to do with ideology. I think where people get this ideas is that Pinochet was Fort Benning grad. That's not the same thing, although I'm sure it influenced his decision. It may surprise you to hear this, but South Americans too have their own history, precedent, doctrines and ideas. Oh, and we don't eat tacos. We have our own military history which influences policy much more. And I am a history grad.

Ok good job Bud, let me know if you find out a way to imprison those politicians. I am sure you're not the first to thought of that. Let me know once you find out a solution to it. I am sure I'll be dead by then, but you're welcome to tell me in your next life.
I as a Latin American bear in mind, due to the history and conditions of my region, all the outrages that the US government has committed against us. I know that the people of the USA are independent of what the government of that country does, I appreciate that there are channels like yours, that contribute to the fraternal union of peoples.
It's by the people for the people to the people, our government is a mirror perfect representation of the American public. It is spiritually inspired. Don't forget saten comes as an angel of light to steal ,to cheat and to murder. God is good not evil like America.
China isn't interested in exporting our political system, unlike what the U.S is doing with democracy. China's model is not necessarily suitable for other countries to adopt, but China's model is successful for China, so other developing countries are welcome to pick up elements of China's model and apply it to their governments.
@Pain Zer0 Tibet was part of China since 800 years ago, back when the Mongols conquered Kingdom of Tibet and Song Dynasty China and incorporated those territories into Yuan Dynasty China. The Manchu conquerors did a similar thing with Tibet centuries later during the Qing Dynasty China.

Democracy is not good or bad by itself. It's merely a means to an end. All people want to eat better, live better, be better. If Democracy achieves that end, it's good, if not, it's bad. A case may be made for the ends to justify the means, but means can never justify the ends. Before Libya's color revolution, they had universal healthcare, universal free college education, and free housing upon marriage. After Libya had democracy, their people's social welfare is gone, their living standard dropped, their life expectancy dropped. In this case, Democracy is, in fact, evil, because it achieved an evil end. If you think of Democracy as good, even in cases where it decrease people's life expectancy, it's a sign that you've been brainwashed, and need to make a conscious effort to undo your indoctrination. Gaddhafi's dictatorship that brought universal healthcare, free college, free housing, higher life expectancy to Libya, an African nation, is, objectively speaking, better than the democracy that replaced it. This is an objective truth that debunks the subjective bias we've been brainwashed with since childhood.
Why is the US pushing around Democratic system is to be applied?
Isn’t every country FREE to opt their preferences?
Why meddle & make trouble to others?

As Argentinian I can say that China presence here is do to the US favouring UK relationships down in the Atlantic. The UK doesn't want investments to come to Argentina so they pressure the US not to invest here in anything. I remember that China offered to build and invest on a sea port in our province of Tierra del Fuego so our ships could travel easier our goods, the ambassador of the US along side the female general came all the way down here to order our Governor to say "no" to China, so he ask them and offer the US to invest on the infrastructure and they responded that "the US isn't interested in that project and we don't want to ruin our relationship with the UK our closest ally" so there you all go.

Julius Nyerere famously said, “The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
haha I like that quote a lot! Need to use this in an upcoming video!!
It may be difficult to believe, but China's one party state essentially has to *represent all* 100% of Chinese interests (or at least 80-90%) because there is no other party to blame for any mistake. Whereas the U.S's two party state only has *partial representation* by either the Democrats or the Republicans who represent maybe around 51% of American's interests? (P.S Some believe the real figure is actually just 1% of American's interests, if you know what I mean.)
China's one-party governance serves the interests of more than 90% of the Chinese people, but it is not controlled by big financial groups. The US Democratic and Republican parties both serve big financial groups, such as rifle associations, military-industrial enterprises, oil, and financial capitalists.
That was a good one.👏🏿🤣🤣🤣
Not sure how many Americans know who Julius Nyerere was, but I do! Anyway, there is greater separation between the American parties than in his day. Whether that is to the benefit of Americans or the Americas or the world remains to be seen.

I dont think that will change anything. People call it America simply because it's the name. The same way we call Mexico even though it's technically the United Mexican States.

Its like they run our country as a "Democracy" but treat everyone else like a dictatorship. At some point I know the American government will pay for their ego & actions. It will affect the citizens the worst because of their poor decisions.
So what about Korea, japan, and Taiwan
Karen wants to know what color underwear I'm wearing
Usa sees countries as lunch but you know what happens to a greedy lion in unknown territory it gets killed by numbers and enemy pacts and I mean look at Hungary and Turkey which is 6th strongest military after Turkey created the Turkic military union Kazakistan, Azerbaycan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, ozbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, joined and now Hungary due to Turkish ancestry a total of 400 million population they wish to leave nato if this new union joins China and Russia as I heard pakistan wants to join the Turkic military union a nukeleer power also The US refused to help Turkey with weopons now its the 4th in the world in sales and US also didn't let it buy weopons due to wanting it to be divided with weopons sales to PKK and now YPG to clear ISIS when all it had to do was ask a nato member Turkey to do it but it arm's pkk kurds still well guess what their leaving nato with Hungary and Bosnia wishes to join was on the news if they kick out US bases in incirlik and place Russian and chinese bases then europe will fall in hours
Police of the world they say. Ha! More like busy body.
American refers to the continent, the country is the United States; you are a United States citizen, American refers to all people from the continent, like European.
American democracy gives you the right to remain poor (and wait for handouts from the rich).
China's one-party governance serves the interests of more than 90% of the Chinese people, but it is not controlled by big financial groups. The US Democratic and Republican parties both serve big financial groups, such as rifle associations, military-industrial enterprises, oil, and financial capitalists.
If you think military industry has that much control over the US gov't then put your money where your mouth is and go buy some Lockhead Martin and Raytheon stock. You are bound to make money......
Yet china is still corrupt
So true, in China the political machine controls the corporations, in the US the corporations control the politicians who make laws favorable to the corporations.
@@jascam1 In china government control corporation. in usa corporation control government. That's the huge difference between china and usa. In China If there is billionaire and company that are too arrogant and monopolistic. The government gonna break it down. Right now usa is strife with this problems where google, Facebook,power, oil company has too much power
Not true, the Chinese government doesn't serve the interests of the Chinese people, it is a dictatorship, where the same guy"wins the elections" the have something called social credit, meaning you as a citizen get points, they spy on you and control everything. That's why Chinese workforce is efficient, they work them to, literally, death. USA and China's government are not different.

An querido pisotear América latina talvez porque no somos la misma cultura,idiomas, diferentes orígenes-gente,religión,gastronomía...etc con la EEUU,ni siquiera nosotros sabemos ¿el PORQUÉ?.
Pero no tienen ningún derecho a tratarnos mal, con soberbia y petulancia los Americanos Latinos, saben sabemos su historia y no hay de ella de que ser orgullosos cuando aniquilaron a los Nativos Americanos pero bien hipócritas culpando a los demás de que no ejercen tolerancia a las demás etnias humanas.
Siento que el mismo gobierno EEUU les a contado un cuento a los USA y crean que todo el mundo ama a EEUU. Solo les digo que son el niño Bullying que acosa a todos.
América Latina ahora se está acercando más a Europa(por historia ) y Asia. Pasamos de EEUU.
I‘m happy that more and more countries in Africa, Asia and South America wake up and stand up against the US.
Europe (EU) is still licking their boot and the big loser in the upcoming times. (And I‘m European)
i hope asia and africa and south america stick together becasue we all know what the west think of non-white people.
The EU countries are losing big time to America because of the Ukraine war --- they are forced to buy VERY expensive American oil and gas instead of much cheaper Russian ones. The Americans even blew up the Nord Stream pipeline to make sure this continues indefinitely
That is what they leaders think. If you ask the citizens of those countries they would want to go to, they would tell you the USA and not China.
@David Garcia bro you will never be white lol
Wow a European wishes his own death haha to his own country HAHA
Cyrus I’m amazed by your explanation and the research that you’ve done for your videos. Keep going.❤❤❤
As Latino-American I feel absolutely disgusted on how the US government sees our countries, we're nothing but their "backyard", also, the trade relationships between our countries are completely harmfull only for the LATAM countries, the US can't never lose or let a smaller country to win anything. And last but not least, it just only takes to read a few pages of history between their government snd our countries, you'll rapidly find that they hadn't been as friendly as anyone can expect, but yeah, they have shown to the entire world that our people are nothing but criminals, cheap work force or even only poor hungry animals escaping from their corrupt governments to the land of oportuinites, that can be seen in the media that they produce on their streaming plataforms, movies, etc. It is not a coincidence that when somebody says they name of one of our countries You can only think in the imaginary that series or tv shows created about us
Good, it’s about time someone stands up to the US as an Australian I’m sick and tired of the declining United States and it’s declining terrible influence as in bad influence.
The main difference is probably the fact that China wins its allies with investment, while the US probably offers only democracy. Both countries aim for exploitation and influence...So we have a clear winner. Not very familiar with the US foreign policy, but this is a fact for China as well in the African countries. They made huge investments in local airports, schools and other projects, which help local people.
I b0rrowed this from a Malaysian Y0uTuber’s c0mment:
I’m from Malaysia. CHlNA has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our l4nd. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.
When CHlNA wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time CHlNA expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred CHlNA, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. Yuan Dynasty, although being based in CHlNA, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.
Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into CHlNA to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which CHlNA lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in CHlNA, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium.
After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:
1. To open the borders of CHlNA to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free.
2. Make opium legal in CHlNA.
Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with CHlNA, which again, CHlNA lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, CHlNA’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.
In 1900, CHlNA suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were r4ped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
In late 1930s CHlNA was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone.
Mao brought CHlNA together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles.
Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous 'bl4ck-cat and wh1te-cat' story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed CHlNA. This thinking allowed CHlNA to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in CHlNA. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of CHlNA. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to CHlNA, was riding on the economic boom in CHlNA, while Singapore had no one to gain from.
In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a go0d life and CHlNA has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.
For all of the achievements, the West has nothing g0od to say about it. CHlNA suffers from intense ant1-CHlNA pr0pagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards CHlNA.
Everything CHlNA does is negatively reported.
They claimed CHlNA used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
They claimed CHlNA was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused CHlNA of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
They claimed CHlNA underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is CHlNA has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in CHlNA, and 2100 in the US. CHlNA has about 3 times more mosque per musl1m than the US.
When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, CHlNA had two choices:
1. Re-educate the Uighur (CENS0RED by RUclips) before they turned (CENS0RED by RUclips).
2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.
CHlNA chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
During the pandemic,
When CHlNA took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.
When CHlNA recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.
When CHlNA’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
Western Media always have reasons to bash CHlNA.
Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from CHlNA which do b4d things, but the CHlNA government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too g0od.
Fortunately CHlNA is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in CHlNA will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland CHlNA, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.
They resort to low d*rty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-4lert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want CHlNA to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull CHlNA down.
The recent movement by the US against CHlNA has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and CHlNA decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s CHlNA’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. CHlNA will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.
CHlNA’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world.
I have deep sympathy for CHlNA for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. CHlNA is not rising, they are going back to where they belong.
G0od luck CHlNA.

Not many agree to this as it's the truth and the truth hurts deep. I really think that China is a real friend who wants to trade not bully.
👍♥️👏👏👏👏🙏
I live in Latin America and call bullshit. I do business here and there are INFINTELY more Americans doing business than Chinese.
The rank and file here in the US is crying out for help. If Uncle Same doesn't spend on his own nieces and nephews, clearly he's not going to spend on "the help".
Their respective goals are different, hence the different approaches. One seeks to enslave mankind not at all unlike it did in the recent past. The other seeks to avoid being enslaved by first strengthening those in a similar situation and standing together with them, if only for its own security. This is not a competition for influence. This is a defensive struggle against an evil race of humans (to be blunt), who are so impressed with themselves, they have gone mad.
That's exactly the point!
Carefull, power corrupts everyone. Time takes care of it. There's a point when ALL countries need to be put in its place. I agree now it's the time to put the US in its place (and it's already overdue) but in the future China will also need to be put in its place. That is just human nature, not because the ones are better or worse than the others.
Nice one. Well put. Many of us view the US as the evil empire, mad with greed!
Best comment have read in a looong time
I don't know if it's purely China supporting other countries, they probably have secret reasons as to why they're doing this, but I completely agree with your stance on Americans. We are so drunk on our own perverted ideas of freedom and success it has led to us not even able to lead ourselves, and when we push onto other countries, it has disastrous results. I'm really hoping we can smarten the hell up and lead our country on the noble ideals it was founded on, not this disgusting reality where many think its OK to forcefully overthrow our government because they don't have the mental capacity to know the election wasn't stolen

Thanks Cyrus for trying to bring sanity to US/China relations. I disagree the US is a democracy. Being able to vote for one of a low number of bad candidates, hand picked by large political donors is not in the intention of democracy. We have a one party/two faces system of oligarchs serving the MIC/Wall Street with the people a low priority.
THANK YOU!!!! and thanks tp the GREATEST INVENTION=the INTERNET the World is WAKING UP!!!!!

Bravo!!
We have a one party/two faces system.
Totally agree.
Sadly true for the US. Many influential Americans especially US main stream media are fearful for voting those with more leftist leaning. Essentially the US is a plutocracy and the military industrial complex is one of the major ruling class.
With all the deeply geopolitic-related comments around here, I'm amazed that NO ONE has mentioned the obvious: *Chinese products are cheaper than American ones... Doing business with them therefore, is cheaper... AND their quality is top*
As capitalists, that's a rather obvious choice.
Brazil and China are complementary economies, since the US and Brazil are competing economies; Besides, it is vital for the US that a country of almost 9 million square kilometers and 220 million inhabitants NEVER develop
Develop but save the forest, animals and people!
@@hackman669 You gotta be kiddin me! did you save yours? Is the US an example of forest and environmental conservation? I don't think so! So don't give your opinion on our forests, our fauna and our people! Our environment is by far better preserved than yours.

@@hackman669 I do not seeing USA stoping the fracking in Texas
I try to explain this every day to Brazilians who love the USA. They really believe that doing what the US suggests will make Brazil as rich as the US. These same Brazilians have accepted the US rhetoric and come to believe that Brazil's problem is China. Honestly, I believe that of the BRICS, Brazil is the least reliable, because the country is dominated by traitors who want to sell all our strategic companies, preferably to the US.
Maybe you already know that Brazil is about to find another gigantic oil reserve. The current president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, will have serious problems if this new reservation is confirmed, because the pirates (USA and United Kingdom) will do everything to destabilize our Brazil, with the intention of overthrowing President Lula and electing some puppet that sell our oil to foreign companies. Just thinking about that possibility already makes me feel discouraged.
Ermm... cuz China is internationalist to some extent while US is imperialist at every single possible degree? I choose internationalism
Awesome video my man. Thank you for sharing this information. It’s crazy where we are heading to.

Excellent report CJ. Thank you for this video - informative and enlightening.
As a Mexican American I dislike that The US is always putting Mexico down. I always felt that Mexico would embrace China or Russia.

Yes. I want China and Russia to be the dominant powers. Let the new world order come
It's difficult because of nafta
Yes, but if we depended on China, we would have to pay debts to China like Haiti is paying France, and why is Haiti so poor, because of foreing debts.
As a Mexican I can say no one needs to put Mexico down, we do a pretty good job ourselves. Corruption is rife in this country.
China helps other countries with Trades & Infrastructure projects .
US helps other countries with Bombs & Weaponry .
China teaches other countries to grow food.
US trains other countries to fight wars .
I live in America and was born here but the one thing that really sticks out to me about America is that we claim to be tolerant of other people but we have incredibly supremacist views when it comes to the political-economic dimension. We think we are the end of history but we are just another ideology and another empire. We purposely ignore the fact that the US has arguably the best geography, natural resources, and consumed more energy than any empire in history. We think our ideology made us strong and therefore better than everyone else. We openly show contempt for every other country. It’s kinda insane how we can have so much cognitive dissonance about tolerance. Our leaders are so out of touch and our country is going down a dark path. If I could give a piece of advice to other countries I’d tell them to try and slowly ween themselves off trade with America.
The way how US senators refer to the region as:
"our hemisphere" "our backyard" or in Biden words: "our front yard"
that alone tells you how US government sees the rest of american countries, as inferior, weak, manipulative, puppet countries that either align with the US or become enemies of the US, only authoritarians think in absolutes, and makes many countries see china and russia as possible allies, after all they don't interfere with latin America's domestic affairs, and have not invaded Latin America militarily, like the Chinese proverb said: "it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice" China its about business not about political alignment.
The "Monroe Doctrine" has already expired, and US government hasn't even realized yet.

I think the issue boils down to a question of respect. If you've dealt with Chinese, you will know that respect has a special importance to them. On the other hand, Americans have a "my way or highway" attitude. It's no wonder most of the world is slowly leaning towards working with China
Latin America is not the USA backyard!!! Thats why we are choosing better countries.
Just like my president said, "we are NOT A COLONIE"
No kidding that South America would choose someone else as a major partner instead of someone who refers to them as “our own backyard”…
Hey! I think you’re confused here. We’re NOT your backyard. We’ve treated like that, but we are independent…
Such a speech! I'm Mexican i live in Texas, what you mentioned in this video should be listen by the us government,cause is the real life what we living on,
I don't see how the expansion of China's influence can be a problem for the US. After all, as the Department of State said in January, "US is committed to the principle that countries are free to choose their own alliances".
The US created China as we know it, they created and propped up their own enemy.
In English, when someone says "eat one's lunch" they mean they're being bested.
Looking at Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Peru as classic examples.
They are the biggest beneficiaries of Chinese economic rise in that part of the world.
Keeping an eye on Mexico, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Colombia and Panama
So refreshing! Great pull quotes.
The entitlement at the beginning. "AMERICAS OWN BACK YARD" he said. .. like they just own it. It's all fair game
Hey Cyrus Janssen, the USA has moved Latin America to "Front Yard" status! Earlier this year, US senators on the senate floor referred to Latin America as "in our front yard"😀
So going from the backyard to the front yard is progress I guess! 🤷🏼
soon it will be closer as our "toilet".
Usa : feeling offended that china is "eating their lunch"
China where almost every country is siding with the usa (especially taiwan, japan, south korea, philipines, malaysia, indonesia and singapore) 😑🤦♂
Well worth listening to the Hon Kevin Rudd CEO of the Asia Society in New York he also has a new book out called "The Avoidable War." The book is about avoiding military confrontation of USA and China. The paralells of what Cyrus has said in this excellent presentation about Latin America or the similar events in the Pacific and with China are obvious. The question is, when will Washington listen, probably not anytime soon because when the US is losing an economic war they turn it into a military war which historically has been a win, win for the US. Peace to you all.
You know, I am a Latin American and let me say. We are not americans backyard, we are independent countries and I hate communism I hate the fact China does not have a democracy but all countries are free to choose who they will do business with. If United States truly defends freedom, you must respect our choices
Illuminating video, thank you. It is clear that when certain aspects of politics and economy don't fit the USA governments (not the peoples) perspective or narrative that there are clear consequences, beginning with banishment and segregation. South America, Central America, The Caribbean and Mexico need to be running their own independent summits which reflect all Latin people. As far as China is concerned, if the investments and the contractual agreements are fair and there is benefit for both parties without either of them losing control over their own nations and a level of respect, even with their differences, is upheld, then it's good.
帮助全人类发展，让全人类都受教育，不浪费人类的智力，共同走向太空宇宙的深处……这是人类最应该做的，而不是在地球上作威作福，相互征战。
Latin America is not the US' or anyone's backyard. Thanks for the video, accurate input otherwise.
I was going to comment but reading some of the comment written by some "good Americans" I decided not to. Let me quote some of the comments:
"Well get ready to learn Chinese buddy"
"We refer to you as “our back yard” only because you are litterally geographically speaking, our back yard. It’s not a pejorative. It’s a metaphor, because if the US was a house, your position to us would be, our back yard.
It’s just a turn if phrase to lend metaphor so it’s more relatable and able to be understood how grave the scenario is.
Not an insult and you should not be insulted by it. If you were referring to yourself we would be your front yard."
I gave to examples, the first one is outright ignorant and condescending the second one is paternalistic and condescending
You see, this is why they are choosing China.
US: "Build a sustainable, resilient and equitable future" ... Wow that is copying China's policy of reaching out to developing and poor countries.
In her speech, it is Barbados PM's second lecture to the West, i.e. "talking at instead of talking with" when approaching developing countries, totally opposite to China. Jansen is absolutely correct in everything he said in this video. 👍
Latin America is suddenly so attractive to the U.S. because of China.
What have tax dollars spent on U. S. foreign policy and diplomacy accomplished ?
At 3:15 you say "whatever is good for America is good for the world", in fact it's more like "whatever is good for American elite, and damn with the rest". Proof is the tragedy of Ukraine were we see to what extent the US is capable of going to weaken Russia and help finance the US arms industry... And Ukraine is no isolated case, thanks to Julian Assangs we know that similarly the US used Afghanistan, Chechnya, Irak, Libya, the Uighurs etc...
Just come across your well analysed topic between the differences between China and the US (I rather called American because no United the country and Americans now). You pointed directly to the objectives of America especially America goes to other countries not for helping their economies and infrastructure but for military gains purposes to either selling weapons or warships or figter jets and set the military base in those countries. In other hand, China approaches the less developed countries to help them with infrastructure and economies to gain the trust. This is a best strategy than aim to build the American military base in those countries.
Division and chaos have benefited the US for most of the past century, which is why the US is going to wars or starting a war often!
As a European I DESPISE American foreign policy. They are so self-righteous it's just grotesque.

People (average ordinary travelers and the like) have always tried to give a more empathetic lens to these countries and communities and were criticised heavily about their position on the perspective of some these 'global or multi national businesses' and their perspective when it came to how they treat the local population and their overall ESG score. It fell on deaf ears. Now more of these populations know the truth. That's their attitude. You're their way to gain a dollar or dime "their lunch money".

@@mr.punkie5872 isso eh correto, não dá pra ajudar, quem não se ajuda.
Last time two superpowers began looking at Latin America as a power struggle to gain more support we had a wave of US-supported coups and dictatorships. In Argentina, up to 30.000 people went missing due to the will of keeping other ideology off their "backyard", one of many countries affected by Plan Condor to keep the Soviets out. Over 80.000 people confirmed killed or missing, according to surveys found in Paraguay. Almost two decades of repression and fear in the south cone.
It does seems history's destined to repeat.
But this time we will prevail not U.S.A
@@YbisPeck Look, I hope that is the case, but the US is a crazed and brutal culture. I worry that if the US is backed into a corner to give up it's hegemony it will take down a lot of innocent people.
The ColdWar was very unfortunate, and was quite destructive. The U.S.S.R. ( and China, to a lesser extent) did pose a significant threat
and required substantial resistance. The U.S.'s predilection for economic warfare - and regime change, and support for dictators - were
all questionable tactics, and cast a shadow on U.S. history.
I am stunned that US invaded Iraq on false pretenses, and then followed with attacks on Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. While I agree
that Ukraine ought not be a Russian vassal, I'm horrified that U.S. policy involved ignoring the Minsk II agreements, and Stoltenberg & Blinken insisting on having Ukraine join NATO. U.S. policy to Russia would be apt if Russia were still Communists intent on destroying
us (which is not what is happening).
You do not know that Russia is in Europe and that zUkraine has been part is f it for centuries ? There is nothing to compare with south america the Coups organised by the US provoking revolutions and disorder murders etc had degraded all the countries and now that each of them is standing well The USA must not be accepted as a help or a protector as they say if US is your friend it is in fact your worst enemy

I am from Brazil and the History of US actions in this region has very little to do with improving democracy and human rights. It's pretty much the contrary. China in the other hand does not seems to care about anything except business.
China in the last 4 os 5 years has become our biggest economic partner with 2 times the volume of trade if we consider our trade with US and they want more.
That is one thing I love about China...they ust focus on business....we do this for that....keep it simple just focus on trade
@@CyrusJanssen
About two years ago our former "ministro das relações exteriores" (the same as secretary of State in the US) Ernesto Araujo, lost his job because he was very open about his position agaisnt China growing influence over Brazil and South America and very openly pro USA.
The problem is: in the last 4 or 5 years China has become our biggest comercial partner.
When the chinese government demonstrated its disconfort with the public opinions of Ernesto Araújo about China the brazilian government had no choice but let him go. The business people here demanded some response from the president.
We share the same democratic values as the american people and the american culture is dominant over here.
There is also a lot of distrust towards China in most brazillian minds and many many people don't like the Idea of a chinese influence over south America due their autocratic regime but I must be honest and say that: this is changing. And I don't see the USA doing anything to prevent that and regain it's position. Even the military - the most pro USA group in our society - are starting to move towards China. Something I never thought possible.
Basically the chinese understand that with business the political influence is a natural consequence and America seems to believe it is the other way around.

As a Brazilian, I can say the US has already lost this battle. Latin Americans have always felt undermined and controlled by the American governement, while China has a friendly approach, treating our countries as equals. The question I ask myself is whether the US will accept it peacefully or destabilize our democratically elected governments.

As a Latin American, I can say that most of us would choose China over the US out of spite, the US refers to us in a dehumanizing way, for example calling us their backyard, also the US has a bad record with us, many coups, rigged elections and interference.
As a Brazillian, USA is gay.
As a European I agree with you. The US likes to destablise the world rather than really work with anyone properly.
As a fellow American I understand why you think that way. You're right. I vote and I always vote against politicians that support exploiting the rest of America. South America is America. So is Latin America.
They also ruined the economies of these countries to steal it's resources
Or even damaging every time our reputation to the world... is always the same shit, teaching their own people that we're all mexicans or stuff like that via hollywood. I live in Europe and even people that eats the crappy maketing, they don't believe in the U.S. government anymore. Saludos
I'm Brazilian who loves the USA... but it seems that Americans don't feel the same way about us. we are seen as simple Latinos. The US sees us as competitors and rivals... China sees us as partners and allies. I would prefer a thousand times to have a brotherly relationship with the USA since we are brothers on the American continent but it seems that the USA does not want a Brazil with more than 200 million inhabitants to be a power because they see us as rivals... so we will embrace the opportunity that our Chinese brothers are giving us. china is already our biggest partner and we are going to fight for the fall of the dollar so as not to be hostage to future sanctions coming from the USA since the USA uses its currency as a weapon. Long live Brazil and long live China. as my mom says... we have to care who cares about us. USA doesn't care about its brothers in the southern hemisphere... unfortunately!

Give up on the USA buddy, you're simply not anglo or white enough for them. South Korea got a taste of it, one of US's biggest allies in Asia against China, and they were snubbed from getting nuclear submarine deal, which was signed by Australia, UK and US, called AUKUS. Australia has a small population compared to any other big country, but their ethnicity, entitles them to anything the US deems not suitable for most countries, such as nuclear technology. The problem with America's backyard, is that they look up to America like it's the epitome of civilised society, because of all the Hollywood movies, Hollywood is controlled by AIPAC btw. Wash that American dirt off your eyes, and travel to China, you'll realise how your life has been a big lie all along 😂🤣😅

I'm a Mexican who just learned that the US's department of state is financing our current government's opposition. We have struggled for decades of corruption and fraud in all sectors, and we just recently were able to vote for better party, and the US is trying to undermine that because it's against their interests. That, among many, many other reasons, is why our president is so angry with the US, and so are we.

While North Americans can't decide whether we are their "lunch" or their "backyard" (or both), China keeps coming to us with real proposals. Obviously China has its own interests and a somewhat obscure agenda, but they have invested a lot in our country and, above all, they have treated us with respect.
sure
I like that
China hopes to make each nation wealthier and then buy more Chinese products. Only peace can bring prosperity to all mankind. Win-win is the key!
The Chinese agenda is quite clear. First they make you filthy rich, so you can consume much more products and gain profit through long-term trade. Sometimes they don't even consider how much they can benefit through trade, as long as you keep buying products and the Chinese workers wouldn't lose jobs.

Referring to Latin America as their “lunch” shows the level of disrespect the US has.
Even other western countries
as horrible as the US government is, "eating our lunch" is an american expression for "beat us." he's not calling latin america his lunch. the US government often does treat Latin America that way so I see why you interpreted it that way in any case.
@@默-c1r Is basically meaning that we are their lunch in reality
@@benitocamelo1488 A América é nojeta, graças a Deus aqui no Brasil todo mundo sabe (Ou pelo menos 95% das pessoas sabem) que os EUA só trazem danos... Guarde o que eu falo irmão de continente. Nós vai ficar potente
Thats what happens when the strong stampede the weak. China knew and learned the lesson from US in 1950’s. Thats why they have to grow stronger
Imagine calling it "our hemisphere" and referring to Chinas trade deals with the american countries as "eating our lunch". Can you get any more imperialistic? Your hemisphere?
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of nations, (at least to the south of you), that would strongly disagree with such a statement. The hemisphere doesn't belong to USA. Also, "eating our lunch" sounds like a freudian slip that is casually admitting that the american continents is nothing more than sustenance for the USA. Absolutely awful lack of respect for other nations.
Also, this constant idea of calling latin american and caribbean countries the "backyard" of the US ... It's very patronizing and disrespectful. It's like they are not "real" countries. They don't get to live along the street, so they have to stay in our "backyard". You see the exact same with the smaller pacific countries, like the Solomon Islands. They are not treated as a fellow country but as the "backyard" of Australia. And predictably, the people of that nation are getting pretty tired of being treated like that.
Mia Mottley of Barbados was very clear in an interview with BBC how she felt about that characterization; pointing out that they are NEIGHBORS to the USA and should be treated as such. Smaller, yes, but no less a country than anyone else.
The main reason USA is losing its grip is because they have zero diplomatic tact and skill. They have a failing economy and less and less to offer. They have a very unsteady foreign policy that changes every 4 or 8 years, often 180 degrees. Something for example Iran has gotten extremely "done" with. Also, when all their "foreign aid" consists of arming rebel groups and building american military bases, while all the actual money never leaves the USA. They end up lining the pockets of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the rest of the ghoulish death merchants over there.
USA built up all its power abroad through force, or threats of force. The only reason they allied with western Europe after WW2 was to get a strategic beachhead against the Soviets. Not because they ever cared one bit about the well-being of the people in Europe. They've tried the same on all other continents, and for a while it worked. But now, there are other powers that can be much more beneficial do deal with. So why wouldn't they?
China only demands that you stay out of their internal affairs, and they'll stay out of yours. With that as a basis they'll trade with you and invest in all kinds of projects. And no, it's not a debt trap. This has been debunked by economic experts over and over, yet keeps repeated in a desperate attempt to smear China.
In the end, it's a VERY good deal for countries that have been bullied by USA for decades. It's the same thing in Africa where the nations still carry massive scars from western colonial times. Then in comes China and treats them like fellow nations instead of pawns. No wonder they sign onto BRI.
"our hemisphere" ... don't make me vomit.
(Edited for a typo that annoyed me, I meant to say all the "actual money" instead of "actualy money")

I am brazilian, Europe and America started to pressure us claiming Amazonia as not 'ours' and ceasing to do business, so we needed to approach China. There is nothing to be gained involving ourselves in a war which is not ours, we are not even NATO members, and we already had business which Russia, if the military complex from USA wants to profit from war , do it alone.

What the the US failed to mention is that the vast majority of the countries that China does business with approach China to do business with China, not the other way around. They saw the great results China has brought for its business partners and so they want to be a part of it. So all of these "China is seeking to put countries into debt traps and lure countries into its sphere of influence" accusations by the US is simply another lie made up by the anti-China propaganda machine known as the USA!
It's getting to the point where the US's entire foreign agenda is to sit back and watch what China is doing and then go in there to try to mess things up for China! The US has no strategy nor any good intention for other countries whatsoever when it comes to its foreign policies. Its entire strategy is to undo whatever China is doing with other countries with whatever force it takes to undo it! It's such a loser's mentality! I want to say the US is the Tonya Harding of international competition, but using Tonya Harding as an analogy for the US's shady ways is an insult to Tonya Harding since Tonya Harding doesn't do 1/1 billionth of the crimes that the US government does on a daily basis!

China isn't interested in exporting our political system, unlike what the U.S is doing with democracy.

@Pain Zer0 Tibet was part of China since 800 years ago, back when the Mongols conquered Kingdom of Tibet and Song Dynasty China and incorporated those territories into Yuan Dynasty China. The Manchu conquerors did a similar thing with Tibet centuries later during the Qing Dynasty China.
