The future of the China-US relations depends on whether the United States can accept China's peaceful rise and whether it recognizes that the Chinese people have the right to pursue a better life.
Professor Kishore Mahbubani is a gift of ASEAN & RCEP countries. The ASEAN & RCEP countries should not pick up the side between USA and China. We should united together and work on the quality improvement of people's life.

Professor Mahbubani, may you be blessed with good health and longevity. Thanks for using your great wisdom for world peace. Mr. Taimur Baig, to me you are the best host for interviewing of my lifetime. I'm now 68.
This is the best single discussion I have heard not only respecting China but of world affairs generally including the art of diplomacy & strategic planning. It should be essential viewing for any student or practitioner of political & international affairs.
@i am not black but dark white Mo RUclips moderator you are so F**K up, you allow this moron to insult a girl but you do not allow others to comment on this moron. It only proves that you are an idiot as well!
Kishore is dumb on Hong Kong. The people of Hong Kong demonstrated against the CCP. Kishore is for the CCP. What an evil man. This man is sick. He only sees the Chinese money. Kishore stand up for freedom of the people of Hong Kong.
China is mature , USA is acting in childish way . Maybe USA has failed to understand China ! China stamping military presence in Taiwan strait is because of USA meddling in China affairs which can easily resolve by the chinese themselves.
Unfortunately this interview and others like it, will be largely ignored by Western leaders and think tanks, dismissed as a conversation between two Asians, deemed as being intellectually inferior. In fact, that lies at the heart of the geopolitical problems between the West and Asian countries.
"this interview and others like it, will be largely ignored by Western leaders and think tanks". It will be ignored by ALL leaders and think tanks, not because it's between 2 Asians, careful the chip on your shoulder is showing, but because because it's meaningless. Mahbubani complaining about US inability to understand and appease the 'rising' CCP China. It's nothing to do with the "West" and Asia, Europe has been interacting and trading with Asia for centuries.
@James Lum The US frees China in 1945, opens her up to world in 1972 when she was a post Mao basket case, tolerates her unfair trading practices and IP property theft so that China becomes a world citizen, which was the intent of the US intent and you think that some sort of outsmarting ?
@James Lum USSR dissolved 20 years later ! Cheap labour ? that’s all that CCP offered in 1972, any possibility of anything better had been extinguished by Mao. In 1972, China’s 1945 liberator, the US, offered a lifeline, nobody else was interested. Left alone, those poor Chinese peasants would still be ploughing rice fields with oxen, your great grand parents ? In 1972, labour was cheap everywhere in Asia and Africa. The kind Americans chose China. Xi and his mates should go down on their knees and thank God for the kind Americans. Have you finished your homework, yet ?
@@vinryan3267 your exact line of thinking is what described as.... Ignorance? "You got what you have today from what I have teached you yesterday. Therefore you should kiss my ass, obey me, never challenge me, do what I say, etc. ' This is 21st century, there is no place for that kind of thinking anymore. Even if your parents say that to you, you will say screw you. The same for China-US relations you described.
I'm in Taiwan. I consider myself a Chinese. Not that "ethnic Chinese" nonsense which some try to confuse you with but a part of China. I want peace across the strait but not a peace that must be preserved at any cost.
Just halfway through this interview and found this interviewer one of the best on the subject - asking intelligent questions and getting the most out of a wise ex-diplomat. Mahbubani is, what can I say, in his element, as usual.
You can't have heard him before. His anti US, India and Australia lines are common in his addresses. You can't blame him, I suppose, living in Singapore, there's no way he'll criticise CCP China.
@@vinryan3267 Well, are his anti US, India and Australia lines true? backed with facts? What matters should if what he was saying are true and factual.
@@rap3208 There are several Mahbubani interviews on youtube to which I have commented, as have several other participants in these threads. Don't take my word for it, have a look. Pay particular attention to his phrase "I speak as a friend of Australia" then proceeds to jeer at Australia as not realising that it is not a great Western Power and had better reform its ways. Watch him on what he thinks India should do about CCP Chinese attacks on its borders. With the US he portrays as an upstart power heading into humiliating decline at the hands of the almighty China - very popular among the Pinkys. Start with "Has China Won? | Kishore Mahbubani | John Mearsheimer | Tom Switzer" "Straight to the Point with Kishore Mahbubani" "Be cunning, not emotional" - India's option to deal with China | Kishore Mahbubani | Barkha Dutt In none of any of his interviews have I heard a word of criticism of CCP China. This bloke is an out of date CCP apologist, pretending to be a neutral observer. No wonder, Singapore will be among the first to be invaded by CCP China when war breaks out,
@@vinryan3267 Just for one of your comment abouthim speaking of australia as a friend but then proceeds to criticize it. do you mean to say you don't criticize your friends? In fact if you're really a friend, it's your responsibility to tell the friend what he is doing wrong,. In fact, you're the perfect someone who should criticize that friend. I think I've seen all his videos on youtube and read his books and I've heard him articulate the mistakes and inadequacies of China. You're the one who is being close-minded and really only looking if what he is saying is against or for China. You're not really listening. I'm done with you. MUTED! Remove your blinders, man. I know it's hard from decades of being brainwashed against China. I was one too. I come from a country who almost to a man worships the US and everything US. I've grown up hearing "US... good! China...very BAD! It's only when I took myself to reading a lot of history from a lot of writers that I began to see a lot of things I didn't know and that the perfect US wasn't perfect at all.
@@rap3208 Manbubani gives critical opinions about Australia,he isn’t asked specifically, he takes the opportunity. Friends might criticise PRIVATELY, not in debates or interviews intending to demean them. I posted links to the videos Mahbubani of which I was commenting. I invite you to do the same of these videos where, you say, Mahbubani “articulate the mistakes and inadequacies of China”. My criticism of him is that fails to “criticise” CCP China, more specifically CCP China’s aggressive and threatening behaviour towards other countries (wolf warrior diplomacy), threatening Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, particularly Taiwan, over claims to islands in the South China Sea, failure to do anything about complaints from South East Asian and South American countries and Indonesia about Chinese fishing fleets, escorted by “coastguard” boats, now with orders to shoot, fishing in exclusive territorial waters, building military installation on artificial islands on the other side of the South China Sea, builds a blue water navy, specifically instructing its armed forces to prepare for war, invading India, trade war on Australia, he mentions none of these in any videos I’ve see, where are the ones you claim exist ? I come from a country which was not at all anti Chinese, sympathetic to its achievements in lifting more of its population out of poverty and benefitted from the trade relationship , quite pro China. Around 80 % now have a negative perception of CCP China and slightly less see it as a military threat. If you respond, please leave out the tired old Bad America mantra, it's boring. I have personal contacts with 2 of my countrymen, one of whom set up a factory in mainland China, the other entered into an agreement to fund the setting up of a factory to produce goods that would be sold here. Both abandoned those projects and moved their enterprises to Vietnam 3 years ago because of the way CCP China and their CCP business "partners" cheated them. No blinkers.
A Wise intellect Indian man along with mix Chinese wisdom & Philosophy. This opened his wide horizon view of both East & West. China can understand the World but the whole World still cannot understand China.
China shared tech to Marco polo of making noodles by using flour..then today Italy has the famous pizza ....China history never mentioned Italy steal their technology...China even shared
I have a lot of time for Kishore and agree with him on all topics except when he said Russia will be an allied with the West against China. I can see there is a possibility of Russia having a better relationship with US and Europe, however it will be in her interests to maintain a good relationship with China as well after that they are neighbours and the last thing one needs is to have an enemy as a neighbour. Both China and Russia appreciate this important point and will do all they can to maintain what they have.
Fully agree with the observation of Mr Mahububani. he has an excellent understanding on the Chinese government and it's people. The China US conflict also raise the concern of many young people in HK. They speak out in U tube for China and begin to recognise their nationality as Chinese. Even many of my friends who had been brought up in western education got a better understanding of the hypocrisy of the West in particular UK and US. We oppose to the five eyes consecutive actions trying to alienate Taiwan from our country. The sense of national patriotism is growing fast in HK. I believe same in Mainland China.
On many aspects I appreciate Professor’s candid analyses on the China and US relation; but on some aspects, I find it lop-sided - eg concern of a stronger China is legitimate by US; so is the Professor suggesting, in the same vein, concern of a stronger USA is illegitimate? In my opinion, the fact that US businesses in China don’t speak out against Trump’s trade war, is a clear indication that China has isolated US businessmen operating in China - may be a bit too simplistic. GE, Apple, Boeing, GM etc... don’t speak out as the trade tariffs aren’t affecting their businesses in China, especially when you examine in details the type of products in the initial rounds of tariffs - they are mostly non-finished goods that Americans need to consume. Tim Cook pleaded with Trump not to raise tariffs on its iPhones, MacBooks etc. On the issue of China implementing the National Security Law, the Basic Law for One Country 2 systems was set up in 1985 by China National People’s Congress immediately after the Sino_British Joint Declaration. Under section 23 of the Basic Law, it requires HKSAR to set up the local national security law; Macau was returned to Mainland in 1999; somehow under the similar sets of Basic Law for MSAR, Macau enacted the National Security Law successfully - the West and their media made no fuss about this but for HK; UK, US and the West made as much noise about this National Security by HK is pure hypocrisy. UK’s pure claim that China violated the joint declaration is pure rubbish and nonsense; but to mention this in the debate as though there is legitimacy here shows there is a lack of respect of China’s sovereign right to determine its own destiny - surely HKSAR doesn’t belong to UK, US, the five eyes and EU. What about the fact that UK left all kinds of landmines after its colonies gained independence; HK’s life-time appointment of judiciary are pro-British than China as many appointees are still white folks. We can say about the landmines UK left in Malaysia, Myanmar, etc... Why don’t these so-called democratic countries lay off their hands on China if what democracy means is respecting the right of China to choose how they want to run HKSAR! China never question when US created a Homeland Security Department to deal with home terrorism. As a nation having Socialist political system, China is exercising true democracy by non-interfering, respecting US’s right to choose and implement its own law than these so-called ‘beacon of democracy” country like the USA. Personally, I feel the discussions were more cautiously framed to avoid calling out ‘a spade is a spade’ that the US and its allies are using HKSAR’s, Xinjiang ‘forced labor’; genocide; Tibet & Taiwan as political tools to contain China; as if only US and the West have the rights to upgrade the livelihood of their own people.
I think you are looking at the situation from a right vs wrong angle, while Kishore is studying it from a purely pragmatic geopolitical viewpoint. The US biz community was defending their interests vis-a-vis China for a good decade before the latest blowout. I think the prof was merely suggesting China could have done more to shore up the support instead of alienating the US biz community, that wields much influence in a plutocracy. Just my 2c.
@@GODLIMIT How could China do more when those companies are already doing business and profiting immensely in China? To let them abide by no laws and go by "free markets" again that ruined 85% of the world? Kishore didn't point out how another day of the US keeping its primacy means another day of people in Latin America and Middle East getting bombed and exploited. Kishore is in some sense advocating that while only thinking about "national interests" in such a simplified sense of just trade and money. There is no trade and money for the majority of the population in those regions but exploitation and death.
You do have a lot of valid points. There is one thing that I need to remind you tho, please separate out your message into paragraphs to make it more easy to read. Thank you !
Yes, I detect the unconscious biasness towards US too. The example of the Indonesians - they appreciated that China comes with concrete and reliable assistance and that the US comes with empty talk only, and yet the conclusion is that the Indonesians feel more comfortable doing biz with US than with China? That doesn't make the Indonesians seem very smart at all. And to say that ASEAN has to write a "Thank You" note to US for its US in the early days of formation just sounded so self-abasing. When has the US ever done anything purely out of kindness and not because it served her interests as well? Would the US now volunteer to close its hundreds of military bases around the world, where it has no business to be?
@@csking6377 Every nation has its own problems, and none of them are perfect, China makes mistakes, so do US and others. I am educated in the West, without hesitation, I believe what I read from Western media, until when I started to watch some live broadcasts and then noticed how western media can describe similar incidents like the HK protests and Jan6 storming of Capitol Hills in the US. Protests in HK is described as freedom fighters while in US are domestic terrorists by western media. Then most recently the western media described the ‘out of control’ used rocket by China to launch its main space module, similar rocket debris from SpaceX as “lighting shows”. Such hypocrisy is getting too ridiculous - certainly my own observation is coincide with the rise of China. On issue of human rights, politicians and scholars from the West have no shame to talk big on the matter when their fore parents have committed even worst atrocities in the past, really if they have any shred of human dignity left, they should reflect themselves and stop being a lecturer on human rights as they clearly don’t qualified - yet this is being picked up and discussed freely by other parts of the wrold as if they too are divine and noble enough to discuss such topic. When US and EU send their aircrafts carriers and warships to South China Sea - all in the name of freedom of navigation - and when China have their warships and aircraft carriers patrolling their borders, China is posing threat to the world. I wonder what the West would call it if China send their warships and carriers navigating some 12 nautical miles off the coasts of California and Hawaii, I bet the West would be cool interpreting China is also doing it in the interest of navigation freedom. Often enough the West started something that are aimed at encircling or irritating China like Taiwan, if China were to respond on these actions by the West, China is aggressive and bullying the West. Hence when I see all these intellect debates by the West through these kind of forums, they cheery pick to discuss the responses of China but conveniently left out the actions carried out by the West. Such hypocrisies just dominated headline news. The 2021 Strategic Competition report by US made no secrets about spending 300 billion on using media or organizations to pain a picture China is evil and threatening world peace as if the 700 military bases USA has around the world is there to neutralize China’s threat. US and West just can’t accept the rise of China. It’s 21st century, the world order is changing, many poor and developing countries are also rising - however, the West is keen to maintain status quo - dominate the world like they did 200 years ago. At the end, you can’t wake up those from West who still pretend they’re still sleeping.
Kishore is an evil man. Ignoring the genocide of the uighurs for the economic returns on doing business with China. We can "insult" china attack the same time do business with China. The least we can do is "insult" china.
I feel The Ugyurs should send a Thank You note to China for saving them all during the covid pandemic by controlling the spread in Xinjiang. Had Xinjiang been a US state or EU state, god know what would have been the fatality rate with helpless govts doing nothing but blaming each other. It’s no point creating propagandas against Muslims And China. Where were you when million of Muslims in the Middle East got killed (Syria Libya Iraq Iran). US has no neighbors other than Canada and Mexico and still maintains such a large naval fleet for what? Spending 1.7 T$ to make F-35 jets has proven to be a blunder than a success. China’s 1.7T $ worth BRI might be a big success soon
@@parsvishal I am sure the uighurs are singing I love Xi songs write now in the concentration camps. The Chinese vaccines were tested on them first so they must be more careful. Unfortunately the results of such tests cannot be revealed by the CCP national security laws.
I love to watch every Kishore Mahbubani interviews. He is so knowledgeable and I learn many things from him. No surprise western media never interview him because he spoke truth and not rhetorics.
15:18 many of South East Asian leaders studied in American universities and not in Chinese universities. the Chinese leaders studied in both Chinese universities and American universities.
China has done well because her leaders are willing to listen , learn and duplicate many success stories from Singapore during the 80's and 90's . Many internships exchanges has been established and even take the challenge to build her nation like Singapore .
At this time of many confrontational issues between China and the US, I must take my hats off to Kishore Mahbubani for his open advice to both sides to stay calm and avoid the risk of war. Both countries can come together to take one step back to find solutions to improve better relations on trade and other related political issues for the betterment of the world. Thank you to Kishore for his best advice for standing up for love of mankind .
The Chinese government has shown itself to be quite adept at abandoning certain tactics when they become discredited due to global pressure, only to adopt new and more effective ones in service of its overall mercantilist strategy.”
Kishore, you can tell America that its best strategy is to take in 100 million immigrants from India and embrace the inevitable reality that Whites become a visible minority.
It’s a great enlightenment to learn from this professor. We learn more on the other side of the story about East Asia, other than from the western media. It gives us a fuller picture with this perspective.
Kishore's points make sense. Unfortunately, the US has been drunk on power for the last 70 yrs and is determined to maintain its primacy whatever the cost. Let's see if the diversion of funds to contain China leads to a popular revolt at home?
I am a Singaporean living in China. Vast majority of Chinese see their standards of living improving by the year and are highly supportive of their government, rightly so. Competition should be constructive. US can come up with a belt and road initiative to rival China’s if they want to, but all they are doing is to allocate 300 million USD on propaganda campaigns to tell other countries why belt and road is no good. It’s money down the drain rather than put to some constructive use. Also condescending to think that other countries can’t think for themselves. With the lack of strategy and tactics such as this, US is showing clear signs of an empire in decline. Hope they come to their senses some day.
I really like that phrase: “diversion of funds to contain China “ . Diversion of funds has been the fundamental problem of the US in the last 40 years or so during which China’s rise has been remarkable. As US was pouring money in the abyss of unnecessary wars to feed the ego and greed of the 1% of its people, its infrastructures were crumbling, its people were sliding into poverty. China on the contrary, was moving the other way, and achieved exceptional results. Unfortunately, it looks like nothing has changed, and the diversion of funds will continue to the detriment of the welfare of the American people. All in the name of some imaginary so-called “exceptionalism “ that “must grant” America primacy on the world stage. Really pathetic!
No matter what ,,Indian and China still good friend both countries win win,,, if war both lost ,the westerners win,,, so be kind and respectful to each other, you are neighbors ,so be happy with each other 🙏🙏👍👍🤟🤟😃😃😎😎
Kishore always bring the subject the myth of the "century of humiliation ". The CCP does all kinds of evil on this myth. Kishore has swallows their lie. A stupid man.
Kishore is a person who speak the truth about China and understand what it takes to have a harmonious relation between these two largest super power . Thumbs up !
I ADMIRE N RESPECT THE WISDOM OF KISHORE MAHBUBANI, WHEN HE SAID THAT WHEN US BANNED EXPORT OF CHIPS TO CHINA. IT CAUSED CHINA TO STIFFEN THEIR RESOLVE TO CATCH UP IN SEMI CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY. IN FACT, AS OF NOW, CHINA IS NOW SELF SUFFICIENT IN HIGH TECH CHIPS.
THE TAIWANESE CHIP COMPANY TSMC, THE BEST ON EARTH, IS BUILT BY ETHNIC CHINESE. REMEMBER, THE TAIWANESE R CHINESE. SO WITH THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF CHINA, THERE IS NO DOUBT CHINA WILL HAVE THEIR OWN TSMC PROMPTLY.
US made China rich, China made US richer. US spent the money on many wars. China spent and spending the money on railways, roads, Airports, manufacturing plants and many more. US has the best bussines schools in the world, but they didn't invest wisely as the schools had taught.
Ygus 30, I wouldn't say US made China rich, China became rich is by their own hard work, it wasn't foreign aids, it was not given. China has made US richer by providing low cost labor and make US companies very profitable.
Very good. Thanks for such great in-depth view & wise advice. It reminds me of an old Chinese saying, ”井水不犯河水”;“你走你的阳关道,我走我的独木桥” which is literally translated as “well water does not oppose river waters” & “you walk your daylight path, I cross my own wooden bridge”. I essence it is mind your own business.
Although colonialism has ended for over 100 years for some Asean countries, but people who had been subjected to the most egregious inhuman & degrading treatments from their former white imperial masters are now some how lamenting that very experiences of being deemed second rate or sub-human. Of course Professor K Mahbubani is an exception and he is simply brilliant. Period
Made so many good points. The americans think about the chinese in terms of "what would i do?", they don't realise the chinese don't think like the americans
Our all time FAV, Kishore M !! So proud that Singapore produces such a great man. His mannerism and voice, no one will take UMBRAGE..haha! Some top CEOs can take some lessons from him.
Kishore is a brilliant guy and he is pretty good at "playing at two tables" at the same time. Xi and Biden should have an open minded one to one meeting with Kishore as the moderator ! Haha ! I am sure it would be fruitful, especially for USA !
@i am not black but dark white Mo He is a politician like many others. He has a few good points but most are not applicable to those in the west. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
I always respect Professor Kishore Mahbubahi for his insights about China. Clearly, blocking China peaceful raising will fail. US has been blocking China to join the international space program, but China has come up its own space station. The same will happen in semiconductor industry and the results will surly hurt US companies.
I am a Filipino, and our territories have been invaded by both countries--by the U.S. more than a century ago, and by China over the past decade, as it continues its neo-imperialist project of entering and occupying West Philippine Sea territories recognized as ours by the international tribunal in the Hague throuh its 2016 ruling. Today, the U.S. is our respected defense ally. (Just as it is a defense ally of a former enemy country, Japan, and has good defense cooperation with another former enemy, Vietnam.) China is just a bully that recognizes only its own agenda and has no concept of multilateralism. Grow up, Beijing! Mr Mahbubani, one can take appeasement too far.
What Ma Kaishuo said in the interview was correct. This is indeed the core demand of China's strategic circles and the Chinese people. China did not seek independence for the first in the world, did not launch the cultural revolution for the first in the world, and did not reform and open up for the first in the world. Everything is for oneself to protect oneself, and to protect oneself as long as possible, no longer endure the past days. It is the things that were deprived of in the past, territories, dignity, sovereignty, self-esteem. However, the Americans, the British, the French, and even Australia and Japan have continued to humiliate China, threaten China, and disrupt China time and time again, allowing the Chinese people to experience more deeply and recall the unbearable past history. Let young people who have no feelings and young people truly realize that the things in the books are not deceptive. This is the best patriotic education and their biggest mistake.
If the mere idea that you are unable to beat someone into submission is taken to mean that you have lost, then there is no other option but to try to beat that someone even harder, as any other act that does not yield such a result, even where one that ends up with both sides prospering (albeit one might prosper more than the other) would be considered a failure. For a government run by politicians who never see themselves as failures, nor would admit any failure even if they did, I am of the view that they would rather go to war and see many many people die, may be even themselves, before conceding to having failed.
I am a thoroughly bicultural person by experience for 81 years. I agree with Kishore's every point. I wish his views would be communicated to the Biden administration. Very disappointed by Blinken''s way of dealing with China -- I thought he was more mature than he actually showed. Like Kishore has said that the current tension between the two countries is totally unnecessary!
Kishore Mahbubani is an international treasure. Such a wise, intelligent, eloquent man. Love and respect from Canada Sir.

Unfortunately this interview and others like it, will be largely ignored by Western leaders and think tanks, dismissed as a conversation between two Asians, deemed as being intellectually inferior. In fact, that lies at the heart of the geopolitical problems between the West and Asian countries.
"this interview and others like it, will be largely ignored by Western leaders and think tanks". It will be ignored by ALL leaders and think tanks, not because it's between 2 Asians, careful the chip on your shoulder is showing, but because because it's meaningless. Mahbubani complaining about US inability to understand and appease the 'rising' CCP China. It's nothing to do with the "West" and Asia, Europe has been interacting and trading with Asia for centuries.
@James Lum Where are "they" completely wrong and outsmarted ?
@James Lum The US frees China in 1945, opens her up to world in 1972 when she was a post Mao basket case, tolerates her unfair trading practices and IP property theft so that China becomes a world citizen, which was the intent of the US intent and you think that some sort of outsmarting ?
@James Lum USSR dissolved 20 years later ! Cheap labour ? that’s all that CCP offered in 1972, any possibility of anything better had been extinguished by Mao. In 1972, China’s 1945 liberator, the US, offered a lifeline, nobody else was interested. Left alone, those poor Chinese peasants would still be ploughing rice fields with oxen, your great grand parents ? In 1972, labour was cheap everywhere in Asia and Africa. The kind Americans chose China. Xi and his mates should go down on their knees and thank God for the kind Americans. Have you finished your homework, yet ?
@@vinryan3267 your exact line of thinking is what described as.... Ignorance?
"You got what you have today from what I have teached you yesterday. Therefore you should kiss my ass, obey me, never challenge me, do what I say, etc. '
This is 21st century, there is no place for that kind of thinking anymore. Even if your parents say that to you, you will say screw you. The same for China-US relations you described.

Always great to hear someone that is super intelligent! Thank you.
Just halfway through this interview and found this interviewer one of the best on the subject - asking intelligent questions and getting the most out of a wise ex-diplomat. Mahbubani is, what can I say, in his element, as usual.
You can't have heard him before. His anti US, India and Australia lines are common in his addresses. You can't blame him, I suppose, living in Singapore, there's no way he'll criticise CCP China.
@@vinryan3267 Well, are his anti US, India and Australia lines true? backed with facts?
What matters should if what he was saying are true and factual.
@@rap3208 There are several Mahbubani interviews on youtube to which I have commented, as have several other participants in these threads. Don't take my word for it, have a look. Pay particular attention to his phrase "I speak as a friend of Australia" then proceeds to jeer at Australia as not realising that it is not a great Western Power and had better reform its ways. Watch him on what he thinks India should do about CCP Chinese attacks on its borders. With the US he portrays as an upstart power heading into humiliating decline at the hands of the almighty China - very popular among the Pinkys. Start with
"Has China Won? | Kishore Mahbubani | John Mearsheimer | Tom Switzer"
"Straight to the Point with Kishore Mahbubani"
"Be cunning, not emotional" - India's option to deal with China | Kishore Mahbubani | Barkha Dutt
In none of any of his interviews have I heard a word of criticism of CCP China. This bloke is an out of date CCP apologist, pretending to be a neutral observer. No wonder, Singapore will be among the first to be invaded by CCP China when war breaks out,
@@vinryan3267 Just for one of your comment abouthim speaking of australia as a friend but then proceeds to criticize it.
do you mean to say you don't criticize your friends? In fact if you're really a friend, it's your responsibility to tell the friend what he is doing wrong,. In fact, you're the perfect someone who should criticize that friend.
I think I've seen all his videos on youtube and read his books and I've heard him articulate the mistakes and inadequacies of China. You're the one who is being close-minded and really only looking if what he is saying is against or for China. You're not really listening. I'm done with you. MUTED!
Remove your blinders, man. I know it's hard from decades of being brainwashed against China. I was one too. I come from a country who almost to a man worships the US and everything US. I've grown up hearing "US... good! China...very BAD! It's only when I took myself to reading a lot of history from a lot of writers that I began to see a lot of things I didn't know and that the perfect US wasn't perfect at all.
@@rap3208 Manbubani gives critical opinions about Australia,he isn’t asked specifically, he takes the opportunity. Friends might criticise PRIVATELY, not in debates or interviews intending to demean them.
I posted links to the videos Mahbubani of which I was commenting. I invite you to do the same of these videos where, you say, Mahbubani “articulate the mistakes and inadequacies of China”. My criticism of him is that fails to “criticise” CCP China, more specifically CCP China’s aggressive and threatening behaviour towards other countries (wolf warrior diplomacy), threatening Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, particularly Taiwan, over claims to islands in the South China Sea, failure to do anything about complaints from South East Asian and South American countries and Indonesia about Chinese fishing fleets, escorted by “coastguard” boats, now with orders to shoot, fishing in exclusive territorial waters, building military installation on artificial islands on the other side of the South China Sea, builds a blue water navy, specifically instructing its armed forces to prepare for war, invading India, trade war on Australia, he mentions none of these in any videos I’ve see, where are the ones you claim exist ?
I come from a country which was not at all anti Chinese, sympathetic to its achievements in lifting more of its population out of poverty and benefitted from the trade relationship , quite pro China. Around 80 % now have a negative perception of CCP China and slightly less see it as a military threat. If you respond, please leave out the tired old Bad America mantra, it's boring. I have personal contacts with 2 of my countrymen, one of whom set up a factory in mainland China, the other entered into an agreement to fund the setting up of a factory to produce goods that would be sold here. Both abandoned those projects and moved their enterprises to Vietnam 3 years ago because of the way CCP China and their CCP business "partners" cheated them. No blinkers.
...but everything is all about american domestic politics, the rest of the world can go to hell.
Kishore is asking the US: please, stop been so brutal. But they are not making mistakes, this is just their innermost nature. It cannot be changed.
Super insightful! I wish more people around the world will watch this. I'll surely watch it a second time or maybe more.

I have a lot of time for Kishore and agree with him on all topics except when he said Russia will be an allied with the West against China. I can see there is a possibility of Russia having a better relationship with US and Europe, however it will be in her interests to maintain a good relationship with China as well after that they are neighbours and the last thing one needs is to have an enemy as a neighbour.
Both China and Russia appreciate this important point and will do all they can to maintain what they have.
Agreed. And China and Russia had more intertwined history and collaboration, including sharing political ideologies, in the last century than with US.
38:00 - Agree with Kishore's point about Austrailia. How New Zealand behaved in the geopolitc relationship between US and China is a good example.
@Hk Ps everyone sold out by CCP, before you realize that just only you left who are not 'sold out' ahhaahhahaa
@Hk Ps i did it, im surely did it for my own people.
Fully agree with the observation of Mr Mahububani. he has an excellent understanding on the Chinese government and it's people. The China US conflict also raise the concern of many young people in HK. They speak out in U tube for China and begin to recognise their nationality as Chinese. Even many of my friends who had been brought up in western education got a better understanding of the hypocrisy of the West in particular UK and US. We oppose to the five eyes consecutive actions trying to alienate Taiwan from our country. The sense of national patriotism is growing fast in HK. I believe same in Mainland China.
My family left China 138 years ago. I'm not Chinese national but Chinese at heart.
On many aspects I appreciate Professor’s candid analyses on the China and US relation; but on some aspects, I find it lop-sided - eg concern of a stronger China is legitimate by US; so is the Professor suggesting, in the same vein, concern of a stronger USA is illegitimate? In my opinion, the fact that US businesses in China don’t speak out against Trump’s trade war, is a clear indication that China has isolated US businessmen operating in China - may be a bit too simplistic. GE, Apple, Boeing, GM etc... don’t speak out as the trade tariffs aren’t affecting their businesses in China, especially when you examine in details the type of products in the initial rounds of tariffs - they are mostly non-finished goods that Americans need to consume. Tim Cook pleaded with Trump not to raise tariffs on its iPhones, MacBooks etc. On the issue of China implementing the National Security Law, the Basic Law for One Country 2 systems was set up in 1985 by China National People’s Congress immediately after the Sino_British Joint Declaration. Under section 23 of the Basic Law, it requires HKSAR to set up the local national security law; Macau was returned to Mainland in 1999; somehow under the similar sets of Basic Law for MSAR, Macau enacted the National Security Law successfully - the West and their media made no fuss about this but for HK; UK, US and the West made as much noise about this National Security by HK is pure hypocrisy. UK’s pure claim that China violated the joint declaration is pure rubbish and nonsense; but to mention this in the debate as though there is legitimacy here shows there is a lack of respect of China’s sovereign right to determine its own destiny - surely HKSAR doesn’t belong to UK, US, the five eyes and EU. What about the fact that UK left all kinds of landmines after its colonies gained independence; HK’s life-time appointment of judiciary are pro-British than China as many appointees are still white folks. We can say about the landmines UK left in Malaysia, Myanmar, etc... Why don’t these so-called democratic countries lay off their hands on China if what democracy means is respecting the right of China to choose how they want to run HKSAR! China never question when US created a Homeland Security Department to deal with home terrorism. As a nation having Socialist political system, China is exercising true democracy by non-interfering, respecting US’s right to choose and implement its own law than these so-called ‘beacon of democracy” country like the USA. Personally, I feel the discussions were more cautiously framed to avoid calling out ‘a spade is a spade’ that the US and its allies are using HKSAR’s, Xinjiang ‘forced labor’; genocide; Tibet & Taiwan as political tools to contain China; as if only US and the West have the rights to upgrade the livelihood of their own people.
I think you are looking at the situation from a right vs wrong angle, while Kishore is studying it from a purely pragmatic geopolitical viewpoint. The US biz community was defending their interests vis-a-vis China for a good decade before the latest blowout. I think the prof was merely suggesting China could have done more to shore up the support instead of alienating the US biz community, that wields much influence in a plutocracy. Just my 2c.
@@GODLIMIT How could China do more when those companies are already doing business and profiting immensely in China? To let them abide by no laws and go by "free markets" again that ruined 85% of the world? Kishore didn't point out how another day of the US keeping its primacy means another day of people in Latin America and Middle East getting bombed and exploited. Kishore is in some sense advocating that while only thinking about "national interests" in such a simplified sense of just trade and money. There is no trade and money for the majority of the population in those regions but exploitation and death.
You do have a lot of valid points.
There is one thing that I need to remind you tho, please separate out your message into paragraphs to make it more easy to read.
Thank you !
Yes, I detect the unconscious biasness towards US too. The example of the Indonesians - they appreciated that China comes with concrete and reliable assistance and that the US comes with empty talk only, and yet the conclusion is that the Indonesians feel more comfortable doing biz with US than with China? That doesn't make the Indonesians seem very smart at all.
And to say that ASEAN has to write a "Thank You" note to US for its US in the early days of formation just sounded so self-abasing. When has the US ever done anything purely out of kindness and not because it served her interests as well? Would the US now volunteer to close its hundreds of military bases around the world, where it has no business to be?
@@csking6377 Every nation has its own problems, and none of them are perfect, China makes mistakes, so do US and others. I am educated in the West, without hesitation, I believe what I read from Western media, until when I started to watch some live broadcasts and then noticed how western media can describe similar incidents like the HK protests and Jan6 storming of Capitol Hills in the US. Protests in HK is described as freedom fighters while in US are domestic terrorists by western media. Then most recently the western media described the ‘out of control’ used rocket by China to launch its main space module, similar rocket debris from SpaceX as “lighting shows”. Such hypocrisy is getting too ridiculous - certainly my own observation is coincide with the rise of China. On issue of human rights, politicians and scholars from the West have no shame to talk big on the matter when their fore parents have committed even worst atrocities in the past, really if they have any shred of human dignity left, they should reflect themselves and stop being a lecturer on human rights as they clearly don’t qualified - yet this is being picked up and discussed freely by other parts of the wrold as if they too are divine and noble enough to discuss such topic. When US and EU send their aircrafts carriers and warships to South China Sea - all in the name of freedom of navigation - and when China have their warships and aircraft carriers patrolling their borders, China is posing threat to the world. I wonder what the West would call it if China send their warships and carriers navigating some 12 nautical miles off the coasts of California and Hawaii, I bet the West would be cool interpreting China is also doing it in the interest of navigation freedom. Often enough the West started something that are aimed at encircling or irritating China like Taiwan, if China were to respond on these actions by the West, China is aggressive and bullying the West. Hence when I see all these intellect debates by the West through these kind of forums, they cheery pick to discuss the responses of China but conveniently left out the actions carried out by the West. Such hypocrisies just dominated headline news. The 2021 Strategic Competition report by US made no secrets about spending 300 billion on using media or organizations to pain a picture China is evil and threatening world peace as if the 700 military bases USA has around the world is there to neutralize China’s threat. US and West just can’t accept the rise of China. It’s 21st century, the world order is changing, many poor and developing countries are also rising - however, the West is keen to maintain status quo - dominate the world like they did 200 years ago. At the end, you can’t wake up those from West who still pretend they’re still sleeping.

I feel The Ugyurs should send a Thank You note to China for saving them all during the covid pandemic by controlling the spread in Xinjiang. Had Xinjiang been a US state or EU state, god know what would have been the fatality rate with helpless govts doing nothing but blaming each other. It’s no point creating propagandas against Muslims And China. Where were you when million of Muslims in the Middle East got killed (Syria Libya Iraq Iran). US has no neighbors other than Canada and Mexico and still maintains such a large naval fleet for what? Spending 1.7 T$ to make F-35 jets has proven to be a blunder than a success. China’s 1.7T $ worth BRI might be a big success soon
@@parsvishal I am sure the uighurs are singing I love Xi songs write now in the concentration camps. The Chinese vaccines were tested on them first so they must be more careful. Unfortunately the results of such tests cannot be revealed by the CCP national security laws.

many of South East Asian leaders studied in American universities and not in Chinese universities.
the Chinese leaders studied in both Chinese universities and American universities.
@wi llo, Actually over 100 Chinese officials were sent to study in Singapore university back in the 80’s and 90’s.
China knows America very well , sadly America know very little on China .
China has done well because her leaders are willing to listen , learn and duplicate many success stories from Singapore during the 80's and 90's . Many internships exchanges has been established and even take the challenge to build her nation like Singapore .
At this time of many confrontational issues between China and the US, I must take my hats off to Kishore Mahbubani for his open advice to both sides to stay calm and avoid the risk of war. Both countries can come together to take one step back to find solutions to improve better relations on trade and other related political issues for the betterment of the world. Thank you to Kishore for his best advice for standing up for love of mankind .

Don’t interrupt your enemy when they are doing wrongly. Lol
The Chinese government has shown itself to be quite adept at abandoning certain tactics when they become discredited due to global pressure, only to adopt new and more effective ones in service of its overall mercantilist strategy.”
Kishore, you can tell America that its best strategy is to take in 100 million immigrants from India and embrace the inevitable reality that Whites become a visible minority.
Always feel great to listen to Professor
Americans! Listen to the wise man of Asia!
"What a beautiful sight to behold.. "
Good point!
It’s a great enlightenment to learn from this professor. We learn more on the other side of the story about East Asia, other than from the western media. It gives us a fuller picture with this perspective.
Kishore should come to Australia and give the Morrison government a lesson or two about diplomacy.
the last miracle before China, is Singapore.
still is.
Kishore's points make sense. Unfortunately, the US has been drunk on power for the last 70 yrs and is determined to maintain its primacy whatever the cost. Let's see if the diversion of funds to contain China leads to a popular revolt at home?
I am a Singaporean living in China. Vast majority of Chinese see their standards of living improving by the year and are highly supportive of their government, rightly so. Competition should be constructive. US can come up with a belt and road initiative to rival China’s if they want to, but all they are doing is to allocate 300 million USD on propaganda campaigns to tell other countries why belt and road is no good. It’s money down the drain rather than put to some constructive use. Also condescending to think that other countries can’t think for themselves. With the lack of strategy and tactics such as this, US is showing clear signs of an empire in decline. Hope they come to their senses some day.
@@tkk685 Tough times make strong men. Strong men make good times. Good times make weak men. Weak men make tough times.
I really like that phrase: “diversion of funds to contain China “ . Diversion of funds has been the fundamental problem of the US in the last 40 years or so during which China’s rise has been remarkable. As US was pouring money in the abyss of unnecessary wars to feed the ego and greed of the 1% of its people, its infrastructures were crumbling, its people were sliding into poverty. China on the contrary, was moving the other way, and achieved exceptional results. Unfortunately, it looks like nothing has changed, and the diversion of funds will continue to the detriment of the welfare of the American people. All in the name of some imaginary so-called “exceptionalism “ that “must grant” America primacy on the world stage. Really pathetic!

I ADMIRE N RESPECT THE WISDOM OF KISHORE MAHBUBANI, WHEN HE SAID THAT WHEN US BANNED EXPORT OF CHIPS TO CHINA. IT CAUSED CHINA TO STIFFEN THEIR RESOLVE TO CATCH UP IN SEMI CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY. IN FACT, AS OF NOW, CHINA IS NOW SELF SUFFICIENT IN HIGH TECH CHIPS.

Ygus 30, I wouldn't say US made China rich, China became rich is by their own hard work, it wasn't foreign aids, it was not given. China has made US richer by providing low cost labor and make US companies very profitable.

Full respect for Kishore! He is such a wise, rational diplomat with such accurate knowledge of the countries and their mindset in global geo-politics!
I always respect Professor Kishore Mahbubahi for his insights about China. Clearly, blocking China peaceful raising will fail. US has been blocking China to join the international space program, but China has come up its own space station. The same will happen in semiconductor industry and the results will surly hurt US companies.
I am a Filipino, and our territories have been invaded by both countries--by the U.S. more than a century ago, and by China over the past decade, as it continues its neo-imperialist project of entering and occupying West Philippine Sea territories recognized as ours by the international tribunal in the Hague throuh its 2016 ruling. Today, the U.S. is our respected defense ally. (Just as it is a defense ally of a former enemy country, Japan, and has good defense cooperation with another former enemy, Vietnam.) China is just a bully that recognizes only its own agenda and has no concept of multilateralism. Grow up, Beijing! Mr Mahbubani, one can take appeasement too far.
Thank goodness for Prof. Kishore; his wisdom is appreciated!
What Ma Kaishuo said in the interview was correct. This is indeed the core demand of China's strategic circles and the Chinese people.
China did not seek independence for the first in the world, did not launch the cultural revolution for the first in the world, and did not reform and open up for the first in the world. Everything is for oneself to protect oneself, and to protect oneself as long as possible, no longer endure the past days.
It is the things that were deprived of in the past, territories, dignity, sovereignty, self-esteem.
However, the Americans, the British, the French, and even Australia and Japan have continued to humiliate China, threaten China, and disrupt China time and time again, allowing the Chinese people to experience more deeply and recall the unbearable past history. Let young people who have no feelings and young people truly realize that the things in the books are not deceptive. This is the best patriotic education and their biggest mistake.
Kishore, very balanced views as always!!
If the mere idea that you are unable to beat someone into submission is taken to mean that you have lost, then there is no other option but to try to beat that someone even harder, as any other act that does not yield such a result, even where one that ends up with both sides prospering (albeit one might prosper more than the other) would be considered a failure. For a government run by politicians who never see themselves as failures, nor would admit any failure even if they did, I am of the view that they would rather go to war and see many many people die, may be even themselves, before conceding to having failed.
Good conversation. Intelligent and eye-opening.
I am a thoroughly bicultural person by experience for 81 years. I agree with Kishore's every point.
I wish his views would be communicated to the Biden administration. Very disappointed by Blinken''s way of dealing with China -- I thought he was more mature than he actually showed.
Like Kishore has said that the current tension between the two countries is totally unnecessary!
Despite Kishore's obvious wisdom, he doesn't understand Americans. They don't want to choose between primacy and prosperity, they want both.
What peaceful resolution? Japan wants Taiwan to be forever separated from China.
Taimur.. Taiwan is China.. 🙏
