- This week Chinese president Xi Jinping told his military to prepare for war in what he called an increasingly “unstable” security environment.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
China just had its 20th party congress, with Xi Jinping securing an unprecedented third term in power. And amid rising tensions between China and the US, the first in-person meeting between Xi and Biden has been confirmed next week.
But with no immediate loosening of the zero-Covid policy, we ask what’s next for Xi?
In this week’s episode of the Fourcast, Yu Jie, Senior Research Fellow on China at Chatham House, tells us about the recent Communist Party Congress in China, the rule of Xi Jinping, and where next for this superpower.

"Prepare for war"...!!! What did I miss
@@jeremyalexander9761It's rather old.
This “expert” said almost nothing true and almost nothing critical of Xi and the party
Yeah I wonder who writes her checks
Scare mongering title : "As China prepares for war.." is just that; just to grab attention. The rest is just political banter - illuminating to some extent but no concrete evidence of pending military invasion of Taiwan.
I believe preparing for war and preparing for invasion are different things. A county could prepare for war as a defensive or deterrent measure. Clearly the USA is moving towards a more hardline stance in support of Taiwan and China may be doing this to show its fangs. Who knows
We don’t want no more war 😢
Old men love waging wars, so long as they themselves are safe
Western world wants war
Peace through strength. Deterrence is the best way of avoiding war.
@@audience2 western world wants war
We are going to have a big one sooner or later but this for sure. China won't step back and the US will go down u just gotta look at them
Knowledgeable scholar and rather polite host. Nice job 👍
She said nothing about if America close every factory in China what would happen. I'll tell you millions in job loss. The Chinese would turn on their own govt. That's what will happen. That's not including the lawsuits filed on behalf of countries over covid and private citizens that are presently going on now.
@@robinwilson2238 Are you able to use the part on your shoulders? Or does it function well?
@@ianchrist4892 You have a brain 🧠 the size of a flea sitting between your ears. Trump tried to close an American factory that would have cost well over 100k jobs and was talked out of doing so! Look it up smarty pants.
Knowledgeable scholar who holds party lines. Absolute sycophant under guise of diplomacy 😂
The incendiary headline is beyond awful.
She isn't an expert she's a nationalist propagandist, this is some dire journalism
Yep.
Can your brain not handle another perspective?
@@spandextim Your perspective is wrong, so nope
@@blokin5039 I didn't offer my perspective. Unless you think I'm the girl from the video and this is your attempt at flirting?
When it comes to communism, loyalty has always been the foremost priority in choosing who you like to be at your sides and behind you. Normally choosing is not only up to you, but at the moment Xi is feeling extremely comfortable.
I can only imagine what people in the other 2 camps are doing right now.
Yu Jie is just amazing. Her knowledge and intuition regarding China far supersede anyone I ever heard here in the US.
Really, then you obviously haven't been listening to Lei from Lei's Real Talk ruclips.net/user/LeisRealTalk
Is she legit or have you picked up any biase in her other work? This is really good, but i have almost been conditioned to expect biase from anyone talking about china.
Xi's philosophy of problems solving would be resolving the people who brought up the problems
so he should off himself. right?
@@jamal4381 here is the double standard, he doesn't recognise himself as a problem 😂
@@hanss7 yes Xi JingPeen sure doesnt 😂
@@hanss7 lol. What a weirdo comment.
@@hanss7 lol
China thinks it has a formidable army and so did Russia
All China needs to do is stop producing "Made in China" for a couple of months. The world would suffer
Anyone who has half an idea knew Russia didn't but knows China has.
@@yetidodger6650
China can't even handle India
True. You only have to Ollie at the disgusting sums of money the US and it’s allies spend on death machines to know who the real aggressor is.
@@yetidodger6650 they dont us has 20 nuke powers aircraft carriers chnia 0 lol plus usa has 25 k perishoin misslies chnia 5k lol usa more tanks 1k steath aircraft chnia 100 but not that stealthy
When an expert says “I don’t know”, then you know that expert is no bullshit.
A large part of being an expert is making statements with strong supporting evidence.
It is 1939 for Hitler X. Jinping. Want to know what next?
If you are going to criticize China for allowing their president a third term it is hypocritical -- unless you apply the same critical analysis to Germany:
Kohl ruled Germany for 16 years
Merkel ruled Germany for 16 years
Typical whataboutism. Only a power hungry learder would call for a change in the constitution to consolidate more power and made himself the new emperior 4 life.
Well done Channel 4. One of those rare times I've heard a media outlet from the West interview a true expert who understands the situation on the ground in China and not just cast empty projections on the country's direction.
Right on, the CCP propagandist’s views are not that valuable.
@@kwwu1640 yes there's some propaganda from the CCP but similarly, the Western media doesn't have an unbiased narrative either. Let's not kid ourselves that there's no intent bias on both sides.
@@roddersh5396 The key and fundamental difference between the western media and Mainland Chinese ones is the majority of the western media are privately owned and can decide their OWN reporting policies. On the other hand, ALL media are under the close auspice and monitoring under CCP’s Ministry of Propaganda(中國共產黨中央宣傳部). There is no such thing as FREEDOM OF SPEECH in CCP’s China. You can in general expect the western media to report any news according to their own views. In China, especially now, there’s only one view, Xi Jin-Ping’s view.
@@kwwu1640 that's actually not true. You can see from the self censorship and banning of Russian media on representing their point of view or their narrative that there are definite limits on the freedom of speech the West media permits.
@@kwwu1640 the phenomenon is called illiberal liberalism and it's pretty well documented. You might want to up knowledge on it. Plenty of articles via Google search.
The Middle East: Can you SEE? To belt and rope them.
Why oh why - the pink jacket, friend?
Bring back the dislike meter
Thanks! I could not agree more. (What's with RUclips...?)
But Xi chose something other than the best course for Beijing many years ago already when he chose his approach to Hong Kong
The level of rioting in HK in 2019 and foreign bodies meddling in it, China basically had no choice but to tighter it's grip...their sovereign is only as strong as their weakest link.
If you had seen what happened during the riots, you'd be surprised the law enforcement did not kill anyone. Compared that to BLM where many lives were ruthlessly ended by the Police.
Hong Kong crossed the Red Line by declaring independence.
You never thought of the counter factual. How many days did it take for Washington to bring in the troops when BLM riots happened? Chinese army wasn't brought in to stop the riots.
How many people were killed in the BLM riots? Not a single protestor was killed by Hong Kong police over 5 months of riots.
Would you allow rioters to destroy restaurants, train stations, universities continuously for 5 months in YOUR country ? They even occupied international airport for a few days and the airport literally lost billions.
Oh by way, rioters were demanding every criminal who was arrested for vandalism to be released unconditionally for months: they were demanding sovereign immunity. Western media refused to report that.
Please support Hong Kong style democracy if you insist you should destroy the rule of law, and everyone should NOT be equal before the law, because freedom fighters are supposed to be ABOVE the law.
@@jackjhmc820Don’t waste time on Anglo Saxon’s double stds. Jan 6 said it all. Pelosi didn’t say it was beautiful…HK legislature trashed & it was beautiful.
German trades one reliance for another. Classic short cited German planning.
As an American I have to admit President Xi reminds me of President Obama. You want to see more of him and what he plans for the world. He is in a much stronger position because of China 1 party system, their emerging technological advances and their work force.
China doesn't develope any of their own technology they steal it from everyone else.
"Accuse the enemy of that which you are guilty"
Great example of your comment is America. I agree with you. Lol
@@titaniumskunkogkush4365 present your evidence.
@@jamal4381 Decades of removing elected officals by assassination or starting civil wars in other countries to bring in a leader that allows America to patrol in their seas, take their resources. Decades of wars. Decades to declaring themselves the worlds police force. Deacdes of bs.
that's a type of fallacy called "a pot calling a kettle black"
@Gino Capella none of which are true.
Why can't we all just get along...? 😢
white people seek world domination and China refuses to bend over.
Greed
World peace is just a myth
As a American we never looked on China as an enemy but a business partner.
China is a totalitarian country, where the CCP took over by brute force, and maintains its authority. The Chinese people (and people of far away lands like Xichuan and Tibet) all belong to the regime. In the USA, the government belongs to the people.. Idealogical differences! This is why the North could not accept the South expanding to the western states, and this caused the Civil War..! Unless China becomes more liberal (gives its people more freedom), conflict with China will be inevitable..
Taiwan 🇹🇼 will change if China 🇨🇳 invades the country, business goes out of the window and the gloves are off🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
speak for yourself
We all did.. but it back fired didn’t it?
Yet they choose to play dirty by stealing military secrets and have its secret police abroad. No matter how much money you pour in, they won't give up its regime.
send PING a real Crowd Pleaser, 250 megaton war head ! party is on!! long live chinese democracy..
Not sure if the Soviet Union failed because of infighting between the polit bureau I think that's a very narrow view
The "self reliance" strategy concerns me; it's definitely similar to North Korea's- Juche (and how has that worked for them?).
What do you expect when the West refuses to sell cutting edge technology to China?
If you are going to ask about Women rising to the top -- How many female presidents have we had in the US?
I am impressed she is quite unbiased. I really am not sure if she is pro China or a legitimate analyst. I think the only reason i am unsure is because i am racist.
Daniel 7:5-14
[5]And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!'
[6]After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird; the beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
[7]After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.
[8]While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts. The Ancient of Days Reigns
[9]"I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire.
[10]"A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.
[11]Then I kept looking because of the sound of the boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the burning fire.
[12]As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time. The Son of Man Presented
[13]"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.
[14]"And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. The Vision Interpreted
nothing to see here...
couldnt understand her words at 14:23 : ". . growing number of *needle cars* . ." ? ?
when is the war???
She said the covid virus is not as lethal as it was once thought to be?!?
To healthy people it really is not a concern. Unhealthy people have been and still are at risk with any sickness (flu, TB, common cold, etc.).
At one time they were having perfectly healthy people locked in their homes and not allowed to go to work. That has now been lifted vaccine or not.
Peace and prayers for all people no misery no misery 💘 no misery no misery 💘 ➕➕🅰🅰🅰➕➕

i heard no mention of war in this, and i listened quite carefully though ot was notably glib and boring. A propos 'vibrant debate' of zero-covid, I wondered what might be the forum for vibrant debate in China - maybe my sense of the 'vibrancy' is decadent in its assumption of disputation (?)
Putting all aside am deeply in love with Xi and his quest for world power
I had heard that somebody had lip read the conversation between Hu Jin Tao and the others and he had suddenly discovered that people loyal to him had been removed from the administration and that made him flustered.
It is very informative interview.
As knowledgeable as she is with China, she does not speculate like most of the self-proclaimed China experts.
She is someone fair and impartial on everything she says in this interview.
😅 She is very far from impartial.
Well at least they called in an expert so everyone can be assured, the lack of proof or facts won't make any difference at all. If anything they are doing you a favour; No critical thinking is needed!!! So at least one can just get back to the dramedy of world politics on your smartphone, get some more silly hair colourings in, and a strap-on for the next contrived protest.
The question should be ask why is China military in Russia?
Lol who are they going to war with
The time is right for Xi, will he act ?
I've never ever to think that China will prepare military war, never but maybe China prepare economy war. China philosophy is to avoid military and hunger threat as a military war impact
Psalms 12:1-8
[1]Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases to be, For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
[2]They speak falsehood to one another; With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.
[3]May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;
[4]Who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?"
[5]"Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise," says the Lord; "I will set him in the safety for which he longs."
[6]The words of the Lord are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
[7]You, O Lord, will keep them; You will preserve him from this generation forever.
[8]The wicked strut about on every side When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
Dr.Yu Jie provided unbiased clarity. Thanks.
I heard this about Hu's incident during the 20th party congress. Hu is likely senile and acting up as and whenever and was acting up during that time. They can't clarify because that would look bad, how can someone who is senile be qualified to vote?
biden..
One thing is for sure, though it's no secret China's military has advanced a lot over last 3 or so decades but they lack one thing that is just as if not more important than advanced equipment... war experience.
That just goes to show how much of a war-mongering nation the US is and relies its existence on bullying/dominating other countries.
@Bibek Galami
That's a whole different topic but valid one.
However, if you had to pick who you want to be in place of USA in that regard (bullring/wars etc...) would you rather China or Russia or Saudi Arabia etc... to be in the position USA is in?
I am also frequent critic of USA and their invasions etc... but at the end of the day, I would not trade them for equal power/influence Russia or China, especially China.
@@googlreviews7813 That's not a whole different topic, it's precisely the topic that we need to be discussing because if you dig up the USA's past and present you will find that it is dark and full of blood stains and cannot assume the moral high ground to criticize the peaceful rise of China. So you're saying it's ok for the USA to commit crimes against humanity around the world since its establishment and you support their system happily?
Feels like so is squirming not to insult or criticise the Chinese regime.
Most/all Chinese who live in the West NEVER criticize the CCP! However they DO criticize the USA - incessantly!

follows with some better points about word choice and some good old-fashioned Kremlinology -- "alignment" rather than "alliance" between Russia and China
some interesting assumptions (for a couple of minutes starting around 19:30) about Xi's rural agenda amounting to a "power base" or constituencies beyond the entrepeneurial, would like to hear more of analyst's view of the Common Prosperity drive

Yippe, more recession and more instability, satans ways lead to ruin.
They have started putting handgrenades in fortune cookies.
China is like Japan in the early 80'es: The housing market is a bubble, the state relies on money/tax from increasing house prices, productivity gains are low and the working force is shrinking - so waiting will not make China (significantly) economically stronger compared to the US.
Nonsense

When a person or people have it in their heart to solve their problems, in a correct and honest way, according to what the Bible, which shows the things that are good, according to the only one who is good, who is God, the whole universe conspires to her favor, and all of God's creatures, breathe a sigh of relief. Congratulations on the example sir. President Bolsonaro, congratulations to your family, to the members of your government and to every Brazilian who rose up as a single and wonderful body with the laws of God as their head. To the others, I judge people!
"...the Bible, which shows the things that are good..."?! Genocide, slavery, rape & misogyny, racism, these things are good? Seems you haven't really read the book you cite, the one written & rewritten by men representing their subjective political & social views in support of the maintenance of their positions of power over all others.

This 'expert' is short on fresh insights, long on stale apologias.
I agree, no insights here. She coud well be (and in my opinion is) a spokesperson for the CCP! Hear what she is saying (the CCP and Chhina are too important to ignore!), but please don't call her an 'academic'. In the West at least, this implies we expect honest thinking and appropriate transparency...
You mean - in the west I want someone who parrots the same opinion as me and feeds my confirmation bias.

I love china anyway even watching usa propaganda
Instead of watching this rubbish, go and watch John Pilger's documentary "The Coming War on China".
I ain't watching any Western propaganda about China.
I'm still young and to think I'll probably live to see ww3 is FUXKING AWESOME!
Time To Reset
It's not awesome.. Millions of people will die from war just like people did in past wars. It is not something to joke about. The economy will collapse, food prices will rise higher than ever, gas prices, millions of people suffering.
I'm all for China being less totralitarian (ok ideally want a transparent democracy!). But China and unfortunately the CCP is something we all have to live with, and even grow with. However WW3 would be real bad for humainty, including for the US.
China is like, fully prepares for war, but always aims at PEACE. Hopefully, Taiwan local regime will agree to let China unify Taiwan Island peacefully, so all Chinese at both sides, say 1.43billion plus 0.025illion, that is 1.45 billion people will peacefully go through this historical moment.
Your a pink tankie maggot
But Taiwan doesn't want reunification. So China is not aiming for peace but rather through FORCE.
The great people of chyna need to stay strong for the coming “struggle”. The struggle is for ping and the ccp to take over the world which rightfully belongs to them . Oh yea, Russia needs to stay strong for the “struggle” too.
Thank god China is nothing like the west. The west has colonised the world, subjugated, plundered and enslaved the world and dominated the world.
China was a superpower for most of human history and if China was anything like the west we'll all be speaking Chinese. But we're mostly speaking English because we conquered much of the world.
Today China is in the way of Western dominance and must be cursed and stop for daring to provide her people, peace, security and happiness and in so doing become exceptionally powerful.
