    We should be looking at a more balanced view. The US has surrounded China with many military bases with missles pointed at them. Then there are countries such as Iraq and Libya that got destroyed for the wrong reasons. Wouldn't you start building up militarily to defend yourself? A lopsided talk like this put us towards confrontation and risk of a war.

      China has the right to defend itself. The issue is the communism conversion of Hong Kong and the coming invasion of Taiwan, which the US has a treaty with. And much more...

      Hong Kong is now under national security law and is a lot calmer for most citizens to carry on with their lives. During the so called democracy demonstrations, citizens opposed to riots and civil unrest were beaten up. One elderly was stoned to death and another had gasoline poured on him and almost burnt to death. Hong Kong is not converting to communism but protected by national security laws like the US. Not sure why the US has to defend Taiwan if it doesn't encourage Taiwan to go independent.

      @EDC clearly you don't understand freedoms and democracy. It is messy but ultimately much more fulfilling not only for the individual but also for the group.
      Chinese Communism must realize eventually that forced order stifles creativity and innovation and the human potential.
      Order for the sake of control is not the natural state of a human or human groups and order alone cannot sustain itself.

      @@edwardd.484 I would say politics is messy, whether the western democracy or the Chinese socialist system. Forcing one's will or system to another is not true liberalism. I think we should learn from past experience; Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya....just to name a few. Over 90% of the chinese population is happy with their government according to western surveys. I lived in China for two years and I suggest you spend some time there to know the people and then assess your opinion on the country. Understanding the history helps as well to understand how and why China is where it is today.

    I think China had to do something about the fact that this such important video has only been seen 319 times (as when Oct 13th, 3:47pm PT)

    Can’t wait for this to begin I would like to know his insights into asymmetric warfare tactics and devices that China is creating to confront the United States for example drone swarms ,plant and animal diseases and yes viruses.
