- Is it futile to resist China’s superpower status? Is it time for the United States to live with it?
Depending on the answer, the world could be heading towards more stability - or chaos.
Kishore Mahbubani was a Singaporean diplomat for more than 30 years and served as president of the United Nations Security Council. He tells host Steve Clemons that the US should get accustomed to a multipolar world it can no longer dominate.
Mahbubani argues that the "Asian century" has already begun and that Washington should not allow issues such as Taiwan to ruin their relations.

Question is, can US contain and control itself, insted of making trouble everywhere?
ABB =America Bombs Bitter (mistaken as America Built Better)
The USA is being forced to control itself because China is selling off its treasury holdings in US dollars and not buying any more. Other countries are now also doing the same after the US weaponised the Trading Dollar and the Swift system.
Now the US is buying its own debt which it cannot sustain without global impact.
Same question for CCP....
Time for CCP Clowns 🤡👻👾to go/retire , they had their 100 years n let someone else get a chance just like everywhere. CCP is outdated and not Relevant in the current Global issues..🤧👺

@@knightrider1877 CCP is much better than US, The US wages wars all over the world.
Same for all.
The world is not for any one country to contain another country. It’s an absurd and utterly selfish concept of winner wins all. Losers plan containment but true winners talk about competition and cooperation.
Multipolar world is here and will stay. Common prosperity is the way to go.
@Peter. You are absolutely right, not just morally, but also in economic and every other terms. The US attempt to contain China is a fool's errand. The problem is that the US is led by second rate people, who are ignorant, stupid, reckless and evil.
well said
It looks like a lot of people agree with you. Common sense.
Contain means keep the poor countries poor. That’s what the United States want, to stay number one ☝🏻.
China is playing civilization while the U.S. is playing call of duty.😐
😂
Chinese always have a saying “harmony bring wealth”, compare to USA “my way or the high way”. This is a fundamental different between these 2 countries, and it leads to a very different foreign policy for these 2 countries.
Americans listened to much to Limp Bizkit (although the phrase was with them since they started wiping out the original inhabitants to the land they claim now)
It is interesting why American's media talk like a judge of other countries. No other countries talk about how US should behave.
The media in the USA and much of the West is all consumed by itself and by self interest. The advent of FAKE NEWS results in CONTROL where there should be honest criticism and FREE SPEECH - there's CONTROL through opening the flood gates for LIES that match the dominant narrative.
You're absolutely right, even though the US is the world's most badly behaved "WORLD DICTATOR", the US Media do frequently sound like a judge for other nations. I've always maintained that the US Media are nothing but a bunch of US Government agencies for the spread of US government propaganda against China, Russia, as well as any nation that the US is either hoping to destabilise for Imperialist Interest, or a nation which the US is hoping to bring under its WORLD DICTATORSHIP REGIME. Hence, the mainstream media should neither be taken seriously nor respected, because they lack credibility
@Benjamin G. Lee The Chinese abhors their fake regime? Where do you get this idea that the Chinese people don't like thier government? FYO, the Chinese love their government and are more patriotic than the average American is to the US government. Do you really believe that the Chinese government is more evil than the US government? Consider this, everywhere the US government goes with its terrorist military, death, assassination of leaders, hunger, war, destabilization, mayhem, murder and sanctions follow in the name of US Imperialist Ideology.
You sound like a victim of US Government/US midea propaganda against China. It's not too late to start doing your own independent research, including talking with international students from China, or travel to China in person and see how the majority of its citizens are so happy with their government. Why? Because the Chinese government has done more for its citizens in a single generation, than the US government has done for American citizens since the inception of the United States of America
There are now 2 parties in the US. One is patriotic and the other is taking advantage of the country's talent and resources and using China(bribery) to destroy the US. China should wake up to some of the evil US elite.
@@Justsaying-cg2nz China is already aware of the US's evil. It's just that what we have going on in comparison to the US and China can be summed up in these few words, "EMPTY VESSELS MAKES THE MOST NOISE"
The U.S. has also invaded or bombed dozens of countries and supported nearly every single right-wing dictatorship in the world since the end of World War II. It has overthrown or attempted to overthrow dozens of foreign governments since 1949 and has actively sought to crush nearly every single people’s liberation movement over that same period. It has also meddled in scores of elections, in countries that are allies and adversaries alike. Forcing other countries to “adopt there so called American values .”

@@oldestmen5163 According to data released by the US Congressional Research Service, from 1789 to 2022, the United States launched 469 military interventions overseas. In the short 30 years since the end of the Cold War, it has launched 251 times, far exceeding the number of more than 190 years before the end of the Cold War.
The United States launched at least 251 military interventions between 1991 and 2022. This is according to a report by the Congressional Research Service, a U.S. government institution that compiles information on behalf of Congress. The report documented another 218 U.S. military interventions between 1798 and 1990. That makes for a total of 469 U.S. military interventions since 1798 that have been acknowledged by the Congress.
There are only three countries in the world America hasn't invaded or have never seen a U.S. military presence: Andorra, Bhutan, and Liechtenstein.
In contrast, China was annexing Tibet, an old province , that was taken from them by the british. The UN and even the US recognized this. About Vietnam, the chinese entered vietnamese territory for about 2 weeks in support of their ally, Cambodia. You are comparing a molehill to a Mt. Everest.

BRICS wants to build a new currency. It is also worth noting that gold has historically been used as a store of value and a means of exchange, and some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their reserves. However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subiect to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.
It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for evervone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decisions.
Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you. I work with Catherine Morrison Evans, a financial consultant regulated by the SEC, and started small, but eventually accumulated almost $820K.

Now American problem is they lost industrial base, and they have nothing to trade except weapons and overprinted money. I'm glad i had liquidated most of my major assets on the financial market at premium price before i call bad investment! The problem with the US economy today is that they underestimated China. Also, i agree with peter from the comments that the world is not for anyone to contain.
I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.
Do you think it would be wise to liquidate assets? I don't think selling was the best move, despite the recession and the looming depression, because I'm a big proponent of economic growth. That might, however, be based on how you managed your risks.
@@joecaruso06 I'm not completely against selling now. True, many businesses would suffer losses as a result of the recession or even depression, but a boom always follows a dip. This is just another reason why financial preparation is crucial. Businesses who have planned ahead will succeed despite this. Consider how I was able to enhance my ROI this bear season by about 20% by following Yvonne Anette Lively's advice. To the best of my knowledge, it primarily involves knowing when to enter and exit a situation.
@@Gregfreemann Interesting. I stand corrected anyway… was yvonne annette lively recently featured on cbcc? She talked about how debt and credit fuel the economy. She’s a bit pricy but better safe than not right?
It is crucial for the us to control OPEC. If the us loses control of opec and opec does not require countries to purchase their oil and gas in dollars, the dollar plummets and the us is no longer able to print money as much as it wants. That is also why Saudi Arabia and other countries are scared to no longer require USD, because there might be a slew of regime changes...

America cares about neo fascist white supremacy and has always cared about only this.
It was possible to contain the Soviet Union because they contained themselves. They did not let foreigners in. They did not come out to the world to interact and trade. If they came out, they themselves said that the ultimate purpose was to change your country into communist and thus nobody trusted them.
China is now the number one trading partner for 140 countries in the world. That trade benefits both sides. China now invests heavily in many countries in the world and that benefits the countries receiving the investments. China does not have a globalized ideology and does not try to tell other countries how to run their own affairs, making China a more attractive partner than the US. Why should any country cut their ties with China to please the US? Is the US offering to compensate those countries for their losses if they were to do so?
The idea of "containing China" is a hallucination.
Why should one country even be allowed to contain another? Such a country is just as evil if not worse than what they accuse others to be.

There is no need to "contain". This is called bullying.
China is an authoritarian state, so bullying is the only language they respond to.
as far as I know in the south china sea there is about HALF of the world sea trade, its a pretty big prize
US is like a tyrant and bully husband who wants to control everything a wife does. Can do this, cannot do that, must do this, must not do that. And the wife have to obey out of fear, not out of love.
@feng dfd China never step foot to occupy the sea since it was against Confucius ideology 🤣 only Mongol dynasty try to do that and they failed 🤪
China is bullying all of its neighbors in the region Australia India Japan Taiwan. America just needs to bring back manufacturing here and make all her stuff here and then we don’t need to buy anything from China the product that they make her inferior anyway.
BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain.

Containing China? The US is 25 years too late. How can you contain a country that is the biggest trading partner of 140 countries in the world, and the second largest trading partner of the remaining 50 countries? How do you contain a country that is by far the biggest manufacturing power in the world?
Only weak empires try to contain others, but always fail

Missing the big picture. USA is not a democracy it's a corporate autocracy ruled by the big corporates. Global interests are not about good will between people rather about where profits are to be made.
@Skyman: USA is a Mafia State!
And using their military to assist them increase their profits
Yes, Eric Li has many youtube videos talking about various political systems, and he holds no bars on the fallacies of the western so-called democracy.

Sure. If they are so much to blame think about the "original" democracies: China and RF.
China's main interest is trade - hence the Silk Road and BRICS. The US's main interest is global military/economic hegemony.
No China eventually seeks to replace the US and usurp global military/economic hegemony.
They're just patient and they know that history is likely on their side.
Would that make for a better world? No.

Why "contain" China. Just be friendly with each other geez.
The best guest you ever had on your program.
America can’t even “contain” their own “wings”. 😂
A scholar, diplomat, author, and strategist- his wisdom is vast and so valuable.
Why would you want to contain China? Shouldn't it be the US that needs to be contained? I must say this is truly a genius propaganda.
just go say something negative about jinping on chinese social media... maybe you'll understand why democracy and citizen rights matter... or are you already in china and using a VPN to pretend to be from elsewhere?
Wumao

In all honesty, although the U.S. government is concerned about China, the people of the US aren't concerned about China at all.
Every time the US government says that it is concerned about a country, that country would turn into the stone age and millions displaced or killed, by you-know-who.
True. Except some people who blindly believe the government but the average educated American isn’t. China is a nice holiday destination. The trade wars don’t help the rest of the world.
Who told you that lie?
@@TacticalMayo The majority of us are more critical about our own gov't than we are China, Russia, or Ukraine
@@_whatchamacallitnot true at all, we're not leftist in the United states.
Had said that Taiwan belongs to China, but acting in the opposite way. Not standing up to their words.
This was one of the best interviews regarding the US China relations that I've seen for a while! Well done!
it's a joke interview from a fake intellectual bought by the dictatorships to pretend it's normal for citizens to have no rights and that countries that are not dictatorships should help them start a war against us.
Wait till you see how it ends☢️
and all the pathetic fakes that upvoted that post showed their true colors
South China sea. What's China doing there. Is that in the interest of the rest of ASEA? Expanding past exclusive economic zones into other sovereign exclusive economic zones should be condoned? That's a huge oversight missed here, and a major catalyst in relations between the Western values and Autocracies
It’s called the South China Sea, not the South America Sea. What is the US doing there? Is their presence in the interest of ASEAN?
USA needs to worry about its own people and quit starring up wars.
The American people currently is Washington DCs biggest threat .
Chyna needs to quit dumping its citizens abroad meanwhile you can’t become a citizen of CCP Chyna.
They do worry about it’s own people, the top 1% super PAC donors. The rest are screwed😢
Yeah it’s sucks really bad here in the US, please don’t come here. Save yourselves 😂
@Joe Mama How bout you quit acting like an raged homosexual
Sir Mahbunani is indeed among the most authoritative on China.
Contain? What an evil thought of containing others. Jealousy is poisonous.
Where my continent Africa is concerned, you'll hear a lot of negative comments concerning the Afro-Chinese partnership, but the reality is that this partnership has brought about more benefits in a few decades than over a century with the West for instance. People will cite the narrative of Chinese exploitation of Africa but the West aren't doing better either, plus, any dealings by Africa with any one who's not the West is always termed as exploitation. This I guess because the West doesn't know any other way to deal with Africa.
exactly, they're projecting
@@jaycetse2956 what compensation? Do you think they're going to give any of it? France has never stopped colonise West Africa and look what they did to Haiti.
中国在非洲做务实的事情，修建铁路与医院、培养人才、提供融资。中国不喜欢说话，而是默默做事。欧美及少数非洲人攻击中国，说中国掠夺非洲矿产，给非洲带来债务陷阱。可是，之前有谁愿意帮助非洲哪？有谁愿意借钱给非洲？中国愿意，可是被他们打上剥削的标签。希望更多务实的非洲人看清楚世界真相，选择最有利非洲的方式。
Most unbiased coverage on US/China issues I have seen in a long time. Good job!
unbiased? lol what? this guy thinks china already won
I just wanted to write something like this.
What a wise and pleasant interviewee, and the interviewer was not the usual biased arrogant American journalist, we all have seen too often.
it's actually usual in non-western media. unfortunately, MSM make news based on interests of US politicians, and the whole world pays the price.
NOPE, that guy was afraid to say the truth also🤣🤣
Unbiased from a Chinese government supporter? Wow
Wise words from Prof Mahbubani.
Many of us in Asia do not see the confrontation between the West and East as democracy vs athocracy, but rather as oligarcy vs athocracy

China's zero covid policy is not a mistake, it has protected millions of lives! And it's just time to drop it because the most dangerous viriants are gone and the latest virus is not so dangerous anymore. And with the quick opening, the economic is coming back quickly, too. My family told me they have made money in two month more than what they have made during.the past 3 years, they are very happy and satisfied and full of hope for future life.

I agree. China was still growing with zero covid and now they rightly got over it. No mistake, it was genius.

China isn't a part of the free world though, it's a land of slaves. Until the Chinese people have legitimate government, we have to do what we can to free them from the regime.

Sorry to see India going against the advice of Kishore and is becoming a follower of the United States.
Wonderful remarks of Kishore throughout the entire discourse. Well done Kishore👍
with so many China spies in USA , there is no harm to be careful to protect USA citizens in the country.
Hats off to Prof. Kishore Mahbubani for giving such honest and insightful interview speech. The world needs more strategic thinkers like him.

I cannot stop admiring Kishore, a wise and thoughtful thinker. From him I saw the image of late PM Lee Kuan Yew, pierce the veil with simple and strong facts and insights. A small country with great diplomacy 👍
insane that this is even a question. a country of 1.4 billion just being "contained".
A lot of usa irrationality is explained by it’s inherent racism.
The US is quite frankly one of if not the least racist country on the planet.
As well as ethnocentric superiority.
I would say racism from who controls the media. Culture and views could change through education.
Why should China be contained when they’re doing so much good around the world. Helping emerging economies is a good thing for everyone.
Yes, if this is the case but in reality, the CCP is not doing this, they engage in underhand methods to destroy the US. You go and do deep research and you will find out.
I think you'll find that the people of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang might disagree with you there. If China wants lead the world they need to sort out their human rights policies first...

The US contains any country that threatens its supreme no 1 status and who is not a willing lapdog or vassal.
I very much appreciate Clemens' correct appraisal of US limitations and over extension. This prudence is the only thing that will save the republic from a devastating decline... and only if it massively catches on, including among elites.
The USA knows only one way...since 1945...but very agree with your adjustment policy...
I worked and lived in China...and loved it..hard working people, excellent infrastructure, lovely people and food.
America should better start their infrastructure, old trains and airports...list is long.
Sorry American taxpayers. Ukraine just needs another $40 zillion cash plus tanks and warplanes to easily beat Russia.
@@scooterbob4432Don't worry, do you think UKR can get the weapons free without paying back to the war seller?
Clemens is a great host, I especially love how he lets his guests finish their points.
I learn a lot from his programme
US needs to engage with the BRICS and others and if it fails to continue
it's drive for global hegemony it will fail economically and in every other way.
Sadly, neither US political party is willing to depart from the current path
so I predict that there will be rough sailing in years ahead for those of
us in the USA.
What gives the US or any other nation the right to stop any other other country from forging its own future?
It's utterly immoral to wish ill upon someone who didn't wrong you. What I'm hearing is voices of those with evil in their heart and soul to wishing China would collapse some day. It's like wishing a player drop dead in the middle of a poker game because he beats you one hand after another even the deck is rigged against him.
The U.S. does not have a serious problem with autocracy. But China is of the wrong size. Because of its economic and political size, China will be targeted as a strategic rival even if it were a democracy like India.
Being a democracy is to be a puppet under US funding government and US value, and being a democracy controlled by US you never have a chance to grow to a wrong size
Yes, but because of its size and potential, it is even more dangerous as an autocracy. 2 countries of same size economy and military, autocracy has an advantage over democracy.
It's always a pleasure to listen to Kishore.
The US has very little to offer countries in the emerging markets. The US
economy is all about money laundering and has little to offer them in the
way of goods and services that they need.
The US devotes a huge amount of its GDP to making and selling arms
to other countries while taking on under armed countries like Afganistan
that can't fight back. US tax dollars go to maintaining the US hegemony
while the rest of the world moves.
It's very sad but it is what it is and the rest of the world is waking up
to the fact that the US isn't a true friend to anyone.
That’s eye opening, to see the main seller sell off your shelf but not know about their people or culture is concerning on so many levels of respect!😢
China plays chest and America plays checkers! “China is far more diplomatic, far more strategic and far more intelligent than US.” Enough said 😂
Obviously the U.S. plays neither well !
Russia + China = cheque mate.
Never mind Russia + China + ASEAN + India Africa + S.America = MATCH.
Can't agree more.
far more diplomatic while bullying neighboring countries over border disputes ??? 😂😂😂 what a clown.

Excellent presentation! I agree with you 100%.
What a wise man.
Thank you Prof Kishore, you are a Wiseman.
remarkable analysis indeed this is what is happening in the world. the problem is, those in power don't want to give up anything. knowing that he is doing a dangerous act, but he thinks he will overcome it and become even stronger. but this has happened to all great nations in the past. we do not learn or fate? who knows, but we know that, it is what it is!
but why contain, why? The only way you can contain another is because you have negative feelings towards whatever you have to contain
We will contain China.
Because the white have proven time and time again that they cannot work with others, only dictate to others. That’s why white Europe is happy to be dogs to USA as long as US is white, same with Australia, Canada, Sweden etc. the Japs already beat the whites in the 80s and were immediately targeted by the whites who cannot accept any non-white country leading. Now the japs are just poodles to take a picture with and show that the “global unity” is not just racist white countries
It is so pleasant to hear a wise man talking.
not sure how you heard me, but thank you @Jim Wuhan
