How China wages an unseen war for strategic influence | FT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2022
- Whether through security deals with the Solomon Islands or seeking to control the Chinese diaspora in Australia, Beijing puts huge resources into trying to influence how other countries view China. The FT's global China editor James Kynge talks to John Lee, fellow at the Hudson Institute and former national security adviser to the Australian government, about how China seeks to influence elites and create division in society in order to further its foreign policy goals.

Just today, there are news that 70.000 Czech people protested against EU and NATO, not even one American media reported it.
There are even more in Serbia, Germany, and Hungary.
How unseen is it when financial Times prepares a report on it ?
Subtle maybe, but definitely not unseen.
Unseen here is intended to mean unexpected + ignoble by FT's style.
Excellent report - reasoned and considered.
@@attsealevel hardly. learn to think outside of US propaganda
Anonymous - You are incorrect. I am a German citizen, and you are clearly angry at this report. Why am I not surprised.
@@attsealevel Oh I am not Chinese, I am Indian. I don't hate this report. I like it. I just pointed the irony that FT is calling it unseen, when everyone sees the Chinese bullying and sees it for what it is.
I am ASEAN I think Australia tries to be a sheriff in the Asian pacific
No, US is sheriff. Australia is trying to be its deputy and Japan is also moving in that direction. Meanwhile, China wants to be King and turn the countries in the region into its vassal states.
Sounds about white
Good observation.👍
Solomon island is an independent nation. Get it.
In principle it is. However, in practice it may not be as their Prime Minister appears to have been taking secret payments from China in exchange for doing China's bidding rather than acting in the National interest.
@@Guaguanco11 national interest isn't decided by the US but by that prime minister
John Lee is Gordon Chang of Australia
Look John, I’m a Chinese living in United States. I love the American people, that’s why I married one. But I’m always going to be Chinese. I won’t be Americanized, just like those Chinese living in Australia will always have their roots and identity being Chinese and not Australian. If we are going to be described as “results of the united frontline effort of Chinese government”. So be it. But know that you are lying. None of us had any connections with the Chinese government or desire to play a part of this nasty plot the politicians want to use as tools to promote their pathetic, self significance seeking propaganda. We are commoners seeking for a better life in another country. And we are tired of politics that want to abuse us.
Why don't you mention the cancelling of debts in multiple African countries, and the fact that the Chinese debt trap is a myth. Also mention that Chinese loans come with 0% interest, unlike IMF loans. I'm the grand-daughter of South Africans, and China has been building in Africa for decades, supplying infrastructure. African countries love the Chinese, who are businessmen and who create win-win situations. Mention the Nairobi to Mombasa train line built by the Chinese.
the CCP just want to dominate the commodities, they can not be trusted, they say one thing and do another. When will they allow the west folks in to buy there land their companies. hey???
@Maxxxie DeSantis I understand that Russia will win that invasion as the west has no economic value in Ukraine, Putin cannot afford to lose it. The US don't really care, its just a political play, a debt play and to test weapons, its perfect for them, While Russia is dictating what food ships can leave Ukraine then they are winning.
"Chinese loans come with 0% interest" No, that's a lie and your post is full of CCP propaganda talking points. I don't think you are who you say you are.
dude the CCP just said they are not going to support their local banks. they dont give a shite about you, wake up!
lol you ccp dog
New World Order, a three part documentary is on BBC iPlayer for about one more month and goes into some of this. Especially the final episode. Chinese influence went right to the top of Australian government and it was totally official policy in the UK one!
Anglo fear-mongering is unbecoming and sad
Japan, South Korea, India, Taiwan and many other non-Western countries share these concerns so you can hardly dismiss it as an "Anglo" thing.
@@Guaguanco11
Japan is occupied by US after WWII, Taiwan is under a separatist leadership, Korea is sitting on the fence, India's only trick is anti-China.
All of them are sad stories.
No mate. China want to sabotage the US for sure but they don’t care about UK or Australia. You guys just aren’t relevant anymore
@@Western_Decline wumao
Of course it's Hudson institute. 😂😂 Nothing more to be expected from this guy's
Anti-China slant isn’t even subtle. Western fear mongering propaganda is wild. See who funds Hudson Institute.
you see this? this is called Wumao/
Yes my Chinese troll friend.
hudson propoganda institute
Chinese invent gunpowder, it was Anglo Saxon used it to commit unspeakable atrocities, did tons of evil earn tons of gold to become successful country, if Chinese want to do evil why start now
This Australian pretends to know China very well, in fact his remarks are really superficial😂
All of a sudden US is worried about China having an island close to Australia. But when Russia said that they don't want NATO near Moscow now it becomes a problem.
That comparison is something a 3rd grader might come up with, but nonetheless it is completely invalid and inaccurate. -- People need to stop thinking that a high school diploma is enough.....it definitely isn't.
@@CollectiveWesterner Your argument makes no sense
USA and the west also carry out such influence campaign in HK and other places. Both sides are playing the same game but USA and the West are more effective and enjoying information dominance due to their control over major English language social and mass media.
As a Chinese citizen who chose to immigrated to the western country as I have no trust for the CCP, I do hope the western can win this campaign over the CCP ruled China.
@@jialei8153 Since you have immigrated to the West, it means that you are already a Westerner, so stop calling yourself a Chinese citizen.
The claim that Western countries carried out a foreign influence campaign in HK is a CCP propaganda talking point because they don't want to admit the reality that a significant % of the HK people saw a better future in liberal democracy than in CCP totalitarian rule. In contrast to the copious evidence of CCP attempts to influence and infiltrate the political systems of other countries there is no concrete evidence that supports the CCP conspiracy theory about a foreign influence operation in HK.
@@jialei8153 😅
@@jialei8153 lol you are fool. Both are liars and have their own motives.
A fan of FT. However, I find it funny how the host, in one breath, accuses of Chinese government of influence campaigns through funding of 3 out of 24 Chinese language media outlets in Australia - while quoting ASPI (which receives all of its funding from the Australian government, US government, and weapons manufacturers). Does this mean the Australian government is also involved in influence campaigns alongside the US government and weapons manufacturers through these think tanks like ASPI? Maybe FT can do a better job by citing research institutions that do not accept government funding of any kind when reporting on government influence campaigns? Journalistic ethics and standards?
There is nothing suspicious about the Australian government giving funding to an Australian based global security think tank. By contrast, if it were discovered that the Australian government was secretly funding several newspapers and radiostations in China that would be highly suspicious and obviously suggest a foreign influence campaign. Given that, I hope that you can now see the difference.
The FT is an arm of US foreign policy as part of the propaganda apparatus.
*China's influence in South Pacific*
1. China has long wanted a *security pact or military assets* in the Solomon and in other parts of the South Pacific.
2. Solomon Islands have a very *heavy Chinese military presence*
3. How China's loans and grants to the South Pacific region 4:00
4. On Taiwan recognition, The Solomon switched its recognition to mainland China in 2018. And Beijing has promised it *about $730mn* in financial aid all under the carpet of "security pact".
5. The *United Front* is the main body that oversees influence campaigns in foreign countries. It is *an extension of CCP*
6. There are *1.2mn Australians of Chinese descent* who have Mandarin as their first language.
7. And according to a report from ASPI, the Australian foreign policy think tank, *3 of the 24 Chinese language media groups*
in Australia are known to *get funding directly from the Chinese Communist party* And about *half have links to the United Front*
Several former Australian politicians are doing well working as "consultants" to Chinese corporations.
How China wages an unseen war for strategic influence | FT 0556am 9.11.23 they, the collective chinese, seem very focussed on their goals. i surmise they will not give much of a fig for non Chinese peoples should China want to flex its muscles domestically and further aboard. re: warfare - the fiscal aspects of trade and market forces are a buffer zone to the might of guns and ammunition... thankfully if you take into consideration that you do not fancy mourning the death of your loved ones...
Nice, now do one for the US
It ok for us to have bases throughout the world but not China.
the west are hypocrites at best if not cold blooded murderers. Just ask those whose love ones killed by the west in the numerous wars created by the west, in their so called "enforcing international law and order"... rules that are written by them, bias and lopsided, only benefiting the west.
Whyyyyte power is US foreign policy
The crux of the matter is Malacca strait.More efficacious involvement of China in that region is crucial for their economy.
The Western countries have been doing this for years.
So that makes it ok for another country to do?
@@theman44ful stop being an apologist. It is OK to do, UNTIL the West acknowledges that they are still doing this, and dismantle ALL actions already established by the West, and form a new strategy that includes everyone in the UN. This is basically neo-colonialism in different clothes. This is only an issue because what China is doing is challenge the West's status quo. It will only be OK if the regime in China was actually controlled/allied with the West, like Japan, where it's form of government was entirely revamped by the US after WW2. Otherwise, I don't think a powerful Asian nation is well accepted in a Western-dominated status quo. A good example was the US doing everything it could to destroy Japan's economy, when they saw its increase in the 1970's.
It's also funny how no one sees that it is only the White nations that are crying foul towards China incessantly. I wonder why?
U.S. troops recently looted and smuggled oil in Syria. Is this also a form of strategic influence?
Yep. And they wonder people treat them with disdain
And China hosted the Taliban leadership, while brutally suppressing their co-religionists, the Uyghurs, see whataboutism works both ways.
@@TheYakshie Have you ever been to a Uyghur city? ruclips.net/video/5PjtdWAfmP0/видео.html Here is Kashgar in July 2022, one of the areas with the highest concentration of Uyghurs.
All these are past events , it does not mentioned and forsee future stretegic moves by China

If government is opinion (Hume) then the opinion makers can no longer be located within the Magic Circle. Who perhaps have more reason to be concerned about that than anyone else.
1:20 wow , obviously they're want to said that this guy's not wearing only pants while making a statement
@FT have you ever written something positive about China !?
Many non-Chinese media outlets were effusive in their adoration and flattery of China and its leadership for decades after the Tiananmen massacre. China returned the favour by blocking foreign media, diversity of ideas, false narratives of Western decline and COVID, not to mention Wolf warrior and hostage diplomacy. So go on, enlighten us.
The PRC isn't Chinese state media where they're compelled to write positive articles about the mainland. But if you must know, FT is usually rather complimentary of manufacturing and production in China.
The interviewer puts words in the mouth of the guest. Please don't.
Do we know who fund ASPI?
Chinese state media funds ASPI
@Chew That's according to Western sources. It's actually funded by Chinese State Media. Though Xi Jinping's American educated daughter, who is in the US at the moment.
So Chinese influences in Australia is divisive. But Australia and other Western Countries’ influences in China are not Divisive? I just want to know how you distinguish divisive from different?
You can't even access ABC Australia in China.
China is an AUTHORATARIAN state. Australians are happy with China having no influence in Australia.
@@lachlansydney2149
And China is happy with Australia or Western Country having no influence in China. Did you notice all the conflicts between West and China are about Chinese Affairs, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xingjian, Tibet, south China Sea etc.?

The West must understand that their opponents mean serious business and not playing games.
china needs the west thus it wont harm the west however its unhappy with the west desire to have influence in their backyard Asia while preventing china from dominating Asia , I am no supporter of china due to their crimes against humanity and cruelty, nor do I support the west which is dominated by pro Christian Zionism politics and western colonialism either physical or cultural and the worst offender is catholic France . nor is it in my interest for the west and china to be at war or a Cold war .

I see someone is a great supporter of dictatorships and crimes against humanity. If only the US was the threat you think it to be. The US would be in Beijing by now.
ccp dog, go back to your wumao farm lol
And China occupatied Tibet, Xinjiang, absorbed or subsumed territories around it for 5000 years and going. It failed to occupy Japan, not for lack of trying but natural events, it failed to occupational and subjugate the rest of the world only because it couldn’t. So spare me the uneducated self-righteousness and, teach yourself some world history. Diversify your information from the Chinese version of Fox News.

Long live Taiwan!
And the Chinese lock up Uyghurs and separate them from their families. Unlike those digitally altered self-serving propaganda the Uyghurs and COVID that China gifted to the world in secret are documented and verified facts. Russia gave us war and the Chinese pestilence. Wonder what others apocalyptic horsemen have yet to be unleashed by this paranoid duo.
@@britishmalayasociety All expressions of the will of the people, or fake US-backed Color Revolts?
@@antispindr8613 Pretty sure at the very least Taiwan and Hong Kong would be all too happy to *pay* the US for that privilege, rather than the other way around. They've both hated the PRC since at least 1949. Less so the Uyghurs, mainly because after decades of PRC administration they still can't afford it.
"unseen war", seen by FT.
If, as John Pilger highlighted in a recent film, the US is planning the next war with China, would we not expect US-backed media tarts (sorry, respected reporters) to carry out a campaign of dis-information?
Bingo!
Nice to see FT is continuing to be a mouthpiece for the USA state dept.
Same as it ever was?
Cope harder.
@@britishmalayasociety no, you simply need to understand the West has an intellectually dishonest media
@Chew You should also look at African, Latin American, Asian, and even Russian media. The Russians have even coined a term for the Chinese. последнее китайское предупреждение. Chinese mainlanders have a poor grasp of critical thinking and logical fallacy. It's why Chinese propaganda doesn't work anywhere else. People see through it.
@Chew American Universities are graduating Xi Jinping's daughter. If the leader of the PRC, and party elites actually believed in the system, they wouldn't be going to the US or Europe to be educated.
And the rest of the countries like USA Uk and Australia don’t ? Interesting.
I don't think John Lee know China well enough.
Oh, wow. When wall street bois got kicked in their arses: "ItS nOt FaIr"

Nice propaganda
lol coming from a ccp dog!
We need actual experts on PLA and CCP not 'what I think is going on from an Australian perspective but I'll tell you as if it's facts' experts
There is no such thing as "the Australian perapective". Your CCP propaganda mindset must have made you forget that Australia is a Liberal democracy where many different perspectives on what the country should do and what values it should have are allowed to flourish. Furthermore, the guest is a security analyst who specialises in China so he has relevant expertise. If you think his expertise is undermined by biases you need to produce evidence to justify that claim.. Merely pointing out that his nationality is Australian is not such evidence.
@@Guaguanco11 Of course, I did say 'an Australian perspective ' not 'the'. The guy is speaking authoritatively about the ambitious, motivations and thinking of CPP and PLA. I just need something other than 'trust me, I'm a security expert ' to really buy into these facts. CCP and PLA are not exactly forthcoming with these things so he needs to convince me he actually knows
Sure, but if you want more evidence and detail then you need to go and read the articles analysts and political scientists are writing in academic journals. Short media "talking heads" clips are the wrong place to look.
@@TmcksnT The CCP and PLA are more forthcoming than you think. They regularly publish documents publicly in Chinese about regional and military intentions. Experts mainly collect, verify, and assess whether or not China is able to do any of their objectives.
@@Guaguanco11 This John Lee has had some pretty bad predictions on China. Seems like he tells insecure Westerners what they want to hear, as opposed to the truth.
China helps other countries with Trades and Infrastructure projects.
US helps other countries with Bombs and Weaponry ( in the name of Democracy ) .
China teaches other countries to grow food .
US trains other countries to fight Wars .
Did you get this comment from a CCP propaganda book? China also sells weapons to foreign countries including some pretty dodgy ones and the US has provided a huge amount of foreign aid including infrastructure projects in the Post WWII era. And this is all pretty standard. It is normal for any glo al superpower to do both.

Comment for algorithm
I'd like to remind everybody to absorb what you hear from this former national security advisor for the Australian government in a similar way that you would absorb info from any state sponsored news media. Keep biases in mind and have a good day :)
if anybody was wondering: ASPI, the think-tank quoted around 8:30, received 66.2% of its funding from the Australian government in its 2020-2021fiscal year. This number excludes a $5 million grant from the Australian Dept. of Defense they got in June 2021. Including that, it would be 76.95%. The year before that, it was 68%. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@gabagool...not_italian... bruh where do you think any think tank gets funding? They don’t make a fuckin profit lmao.
Australia is a liberal democracy where there are a plurality of viewpoints. To work as a government security analyst you need to show your expertise in global security. What you don't need is conformity to the official state ideology. In fact, being a liberal democracy there is no official state ideology in Australia and you can find a wide variety of viewpoints and values among the bureaucracy. So, your assumption that having worked as analyst would make someone biased toward a state ideology is utterly confused. I suggest you go and study some political science before commenting again on YT.
@@Guaguanco11 Australia is a country that forcibly imprisoned healthy people for allegedly being in the vicinity of someone with C-19. Not exactly the plurality you make it out to be.
During the pandemic there was a clear concensus among Australians in favour of certain public health policies. The minority who disagreed where able to voice their rejection in various ways without government censure or intervention although at certain points in time theiy were prohibited from holding large public protests on public health grounds. This is consistent with there being a plurality of opinions rather then forced ideological conformity.
Just like the U.S.

@@peterseth3296 If you read any sort of Chinese natively, you would realize they’re burning bridges with most of the developed world, including their neighbours, like Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
@@peterseth3296 It's not very convincing when you're contradicting yourself left and right. First you claim geopolitics is not personal, then you say they don't care about Asians because of skin color (who uses the word oriental? It's 2022), so which is it? More importantly, any student of history can tell you geopolitics are heavily influenced by history. Japan and China has too much bad blood to resolve their issues anytime soon, and Taiwan has an existential conflict of interest with China.
@@davec8153 Nonsense
@@davec8153 all those countries you mentioned are US Vassal states pushing a US agenda to protect and preserve US hegemony in the world.
God gave americans strategic dominance because “in God they trust”.the these stubborn chinese want to take that away from the americans, their own gift from God himself.
What US should do is to reorganize and well funded CIA like during the Cold War days where Agents are empowered to spread US Democratic philosophy overseas. Sadly US CIA are now badly Funded, Weak and persecuted by US Woke Political lawmakers.
don't forget about the believers in lasers and "stolen" elections.
this is the same reason Russia had ukrain nato coming closer to Kremlin.
no, that was straight up a land grab. nato is even closer to the kremlin because of Russia's actions.
@@SandyJayAgingerguy What about promise from your western leaders of no expansion of nato after German reunification? USSR Empire deserved better and now Russia just want their Moscow to be secured from crony capitalists trying to breach it.

It's an entirely different kettle of fish when your own daily living is threatened by an overarching China. No one in Southeast Asia enjoys the kind of pressure and the political arm-twisting. The Solomon Islands guy can see what happens when you deal with China either with all their debt-trap infrastructure or the kind of nonsense you have to deal with. There is never a good deal, the only way you can out calculate China is to have a lot of Chinese doing the maths for you.
as if you are not doing it in your own fucked-up ways😂 give me a break
West’s hypocrisy
japan will retake the kurils sakhalin and vladivostok south korea will take north korea.
japanese is criminal country,dont mention it
The opposite is more likely to be true
And then Japan will colonize Korea, Japan and all of south east Asia again right? I swear people don't have a brain.
Good on you China.

Great transition of focus from the international fare to Chinese Hatred, can't wait to see how Chinese Australian would be threatened by the narrative you made.
If Chinese Australians want to be respected, they have to be on the front line fighting CCP propaganda.
China was never particularly popular to begin with. Have you met a mainlander? Why do you think wealthy Chinese have to send their kids to the US and Europe to learn. Like Xi Jinping has with his? She's back in the US now.
So you are accusing the guest, who is Chinese Australian, of having hatred towards Chinese Australians? Clearly you are a very logical person.
@@Guaguanco11 ridiculous conclusion. Chinese Australian does not equal Chinese Communist Party.
You are repeating a classic CCP propaganda move called the "bait and switch". It involves equivocating on the word "Chinese" which could either be picking out an ethnic group (Chinese people) or a state actor (China, which is run by the CCP). The move is to switch between these two meanings for rhetorical advantage.

Two thirds of comments on this video are CCP propaganda. People attacking FT, attacking the commentators, alluding to separate issues entirely to defend the CCP, and not addressing the points made in the video.
Yep, many wumao commenting here and using bot accounts to artificially pump up likes on their posts. RUclips really needs to get their act together.
LOL ok.🤣😂
No, Chinese propaganda isn't as sophisticated as even what the Russians roll with.
@@Kiyoone ccp dog
Lol actually any intellectual who has seen the world would agree that there is propaganda on both sides. However, there has been much more demonizing of China from the west in the last 4-5 years or so. So why wouldn’t China want to change the narrative? If the narrative is to tell the world that it is win-win player on the world stage then is it that bad? It’s not like they are demonizing the West in retaliation. The West is clearly the aggressor if you look at the language and pictures and angle they choose to report “the news”.
As usual. Can't make u points? Boring
Your commentators dialogue is unacceptable, bias,conditioned minded,he is come from HUDSON INSTITUTE, what kind of research do, it tried to create tensions all around, his rhetoric is baseless ,no substance, groundless.
The same idea the west used media,institute, research body as the tools to help and hoodwinked the opinions of the people to achieve their political goals,he must asked himself where the funding come from? Stoking the hatred and mistrust is not good for humanity, peace.
Taiwan is part of China, more than 160 countries around the world know that, its similar like Scotland is part of UK.
You accuse the guest of bias but don't substantiate it with any evidence. Instead, all you offer is ad hominems and empty rhetoric. Meanwhile you blatantly lie when you say that 160 countries accept that Taiwan is part of China. Most countries take no official stance on the one-China policy, leaving Taiwan's status indeterminate. That is NOT accepting the one-China policy.
Fire more missiles into the sea and cope.
