The common man of Ukraine is not fighting for his country, he is fighting for the few financial and political elites in his country and those in the USA and Europe.
When is the professor going to get it, China's success is its sin according to the elites in the west. When one is about to lose his cash cow one will fight to the death.
China is a threat to the US national security not military but economically, China's aim is to end the Dollar Reserve statute, and the US sees this as a direct threat to the privilege, this has nothing to do with Taiwan or the South China Sea. All US actions before and now have to do with the Dollar privilege which they don't want to lose by all means but the Chinese are a step ahead of the US because the US can't force anyone to use the Dollar.
Sadly for majority of the people who still follow mainstream news, people who are telling you and me some sense and the truth is not welcome in mainstream news anymore. Because responsible politicians have made the truth as their biggest enemies 😢
There is no wrongness between the two different nations. Both are doing what they think is right. The only gap is they are living in two different dimensions. It is not in the least chance that you can make entities in different dims possess the same bandwidth.
No. The Americans are just fine. The marxist government is not. It sold us to China. Annd BTW we cannot possibly know what China wants, except demolish us.
@@marysylvie2012 You said: _"Annd BTW we cannot possibly know what China wants, except demolish us."_ First you said you cannot possibly know what China wants, then you claim China wants to demolish you?
@@dynamicchecklists127 So do you have any personal experience about China's truth, or are you just the usual "must be like it, since xyz media says so" kind of fool?
Its a problem that you need to say that he is telling the truth, common sense can reveal american politics. The masses yet get brainwashed. Have some common sense.
Chinese don’t want war because they have suffered many times and directly from wars. Americans want war because they haven’t had that kind of suffering for a long time; they have forgotten the pain.
No they have, they just forgot their history, every new generation doesn't really care much about the past. The current American demographic is dominated by ancestors of the Roman empire, they have forgotten the past. Having a empire ruled by conquest doesn't last forever, it's not necessary anymore either, humanity has evolved to the point where we can give up war.
@@夢裏不知身是客 The United States of Avarice had very few wars on its territory (usually preferring to conquer or trying to conquer - Canada 1812 - its neighbors). The Civil War (南北戦争) was probably the bloodiest and caused the most casualties and suffering, but then it was an internal affair, however bloody.
It has a huge minority complex, as the Eastern countries are centuries older. Compared to them, their histories, mindsets and conducts, the US is a mere teenager throwing tantrums because nobody really takes them serious.
The world, under US leadership, has experienced the highest population, the highest average life expectancy of all time, the lowest child mortality, the lowest level of slavery, the highest level of civil rights, the most economic and social mobility, the greatest availability of education, the most advancement in global communications, healthcare, and technological advancement in general, in all of human history. In addition, no country has been militarily annexed by a foreign invader, globally, since WWII. Are they perfect? Of course not. But it is difficult to argue with the results, and that we have met the definition of prosperity for all.
American exceptionalism is good for them in some ways, but it can be bad for the world. In the past they've chosen to change the rules in certain sports or create new sports altogether, if they they don't dominate in a sport, for example. They literally don't want to play ball with the rest of the globe if it gets in the way of their sense of superiority.
@@nocrtnameThe world under US leadership has been a disaster. It is good for the US but not for the world. We don’t need US leadership. The US is a threat to world peace. Under US leadership, it has engaged in forever foreign wars. “To be a friend of the US is dangerous but to be an enemy of the US is fatal.”
@@Shenzhou. I saw misery in China. I saw it with my own eyes. But that is kept from tourists. You are brainwashed but reality is reality.

So please now leave me alone and in peace in my own country. Do not defend what is not defendable.
@@marysylvie2012 You've been to China before? When did you visit? China has transformed from an impoverished, war-torn, starving country in the past, into the world's 2nd largest economy today (in fact, the world's largest if measured by purchasing power parity) the world's factory, having the world's 2nd largest R&D spending, protected by the world's largest land army, the People's Liberation Army. The lives of Chinese have changed and while there are still issues, for the most part, many people in China tend to be optimistic and look forward to a bright future ahead.
Fall of Saigon - USA pulled out of Vietnam in 1975. Fall of Kabul - USA pulled out of Afghanistan in 2021. Fall of Kiev - USA pulling out of Ukraine in ... 2025 perhaps? Hopefully Taiwan sees the pattern here of what happens to US allies.
You forgot, the precursor of Taliban was Mujahadeen, Saddam and Osama were both US funded and trained. Being an US ally can change quite rapidly. Oh I forgot Iran coup was US and UK orchestrated and now they say Iran is enemy. 😂😅
Well they do build bridges & ports but only after they steal all necessary technology from the USA and other countries . Some of us haven’t forgotten the 40 to 60 MILLION they killed during Mao ! Forgetting that yeah they’re great people !
And Trump understands this well. Which is why he didn't start any new military expeditions during his previous time in the White House. (And the Neo-Cons hated his guts for it.) Though, China cannot be contained any more, however much US senior politicians may want China to be contained in order to preserve US geopolitical supremacy. Trump can promote policies to bring some manufacturing back to the US, but the future is multipolar and the US has to compete with other countries, whether it likes it or not.
The US should be grateful to have Dr. Jeffrey Sachs as her citizen. He is loved and respected throughout the World. And Cyrus Janssen is also coming along very well.
Hope that the Taiwanese people hear Prof Sachs loud and clear, do not allow Lai/DPP to protect its power and position by misleading you to war and destruction, enough said.
👍Cyrus Janssen and Jeffrey Sachs are the most knowledgeable and qualified people who understand China inside-out. Wish more people in the west can listen to them.
J.Sachs is one of the greatest, respectable voices in politics and economy in our time. He needs to have a seat in amer decision making. Pls vote him in!
Jeffrey Sachs is a true genius! It's so refreshing to hear someone bold enough to call self-determination rights a pesky inconvenience and show us how effectively small nations can be ignored in the name of global stability. Who needs a world full of equality when we can have clean economic figures and content superpowers? And his ability to wrap moral compromises in elegant words - what an art form! An art the world has been so desperately missing since 1945! Thank you, Mr. Sachs, for reminding us that values are just a burdensome obstacle on the road to the prosperity of those who couldn't care less about them.
Jeffrey sachs would make A great president. He the voice for peace . I wish Jeffrey sachs would run for president I would vote for him for president if he ran for president.
@@dynamicchecklists127 A rather juvenile and uninformed outburst: China's is actually a Socialist system, "with Chinese characteristics" (essentially Confucian).
When you're no good, work harder, make sacrifices, invest time and money on improving things. That's what they taught you in school. You don't go around applying bans, tariffs, sanctions and all, unless.. you've already lost the game, and you know it
The Chinese produce things, real products people use, and the US prints toilet paper and uses it to buy those goods, the Chinese get that toilet paper and buy with it US debt the US print more toilet paper to pay the interest on that debt, the Chinese keep getting toilet paper and the US keep bringing the goods, this is definitely not a win-win situation, toilet paper is nothing but a printed toilet paper cost nothing to produce and backed by nothing, the US want to keep the scam going and China with Russia want to end it.
The United States functions largely as a war economy, with a significant portion of its manufacturing sector dedicated to producing military weapons and equipment. This reliance on arms production creates a situation where the country continually seeks to sell more weapons to various nations around the world. While this practice may bolster the U.S. economy in the short term, it raises concerns about the ethical implications and long-term consequences of prioritizing military sales over other forms of manufacturing and trade. Ultimately, this approach may be seen as a troubling reflection of the nation's priorities and the impact it has on global peace and stability.
The USA has always been a bully and have used their military on numerous occasions to create wars. Then the rich who own the armaments manufactures make money. That is what a true AMERICAN is. The national moto is '' win at all costs using all methods available. They are experts in creating a '' win - loose '' method of negotiating.
Yes, it "bolsters the US economy.." but more importantly, it ensures the wealth of those who invest in the military industrial complex. i.e., many if not most members of congress. Until this obvious conflict of interest is illegal, they will continue to support war all over the world. I don't see this as a well meaning "reflection of the nation's priorities." I see it as the self interest of elites and the USA's determination to be a unipolar power dominating the world.
@TeyunaSe You are bang on. The elected are in office for their personal gains and don't give a hoot about the people. What is mind bogling is that this has been going on forever and yet the people are not smart enough or lack of guts to put an end to the shenanigans. It is therefore reasonable to say people are happy to live in the quagmire. In all event , the end of the U.S.A. is just around the corner and all the talk is redundant.
I have been 28 years here in US.....I am devastated by the All Round DECLINE & gradual sinking of the US Economy - Going downhill.....Financially, Social depravation....and, Today, even Politically..! Unemployment. Poor people Uprising, Common Man Revolting,, Food Banks, Doles, Homeless, Beggars..Petty crimes..! Start packing up...to leave the Yankee country, forever
The only thing that can convince the US warmongers to give up being a hegemony is to defeat them on the battlefield. The Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Afghan War. Has the US won any wars since WWII?
Never say,"Never" China is building the biggest geo- economic commerce today,as China is investing big time in "The Global South" by 2040 the Chinese will far surpass the United States because China looks at long term investing as strategic,while the U.S. is floundering in overregulation sniffling american business.
Than you for explaining this so well. This is how our Chinese think all the time. What we want is to make all the live in a better place, both in developed country and developing country. And that is how Belt and Road Initiative doing right now. What we want is the win-win business. I think there are many misunderstandings in the wet country. So, I am very grateful that someone could explain those carefully to decrease those misunderstandings. ❤❤
@@tomtraster2065 As I understand the situation in the Philippines, the US is quietly moving into the Philippines. The people are not happy about this silent takeover. Taiwan is the major supplier of semi conductors to the US and the US can not get new semi factories built in their country in a timely fashion. IDK, I'm only remembering bits and pieces from what I've read. Therefore, this is only a semi-informed guess, take it with a grain of salt.
i lived in Canada for over four decades, and I now feel its really constraining to talk about US-China relations in recent years, i had such difficulty talking to acquaintances who are absolutely sold on everything and everything that's broadcast to them, and believing every word of it...I'm finding myself having to switch the conversation...it's infuriating how one sided they are
Jeffrey doesn't predict he tries to change outcomes. John's method is to dare the world to prove him wrong and fight for better outcomes than his model predicts. John is quite clear that 75% predictive value is a huge success in geopolitics and geoeconomics. Jeffrey desperately wants that 25% likely outcome on each side...but that is like 8% likely. John knows it. Jeffrey should start admitting it's hard to decide to cooperate and trust. That it may statistically not be advisable, even. So what? You can go to your death fighting the inevitable and in ten generations be seen as a hero or a fool. You'll never know. But philosophically Jeffrey is advising the elites to take risks to make peace. And John is telling the rest of us to prepare to take cover, and to be ready to make a new world entirely out of the wreckage of the old. In effect, John is warning China and India that when THEY are the two surviving great powers, they must make a system that evades this trap. One where both defer to an arbitrator, at least. But the USA never will. It's gone. Just a matter of how it goes down.
@@crhu319 I read a lot from JM, and I believe he is very much right when predicting the Western geopolitical behavior. However I think his mindset is not suitable when it comes to China. He understands the U.S. will not tolerate China's rise, but it takes two to tango. China will not behave like the U.S. because the cultural DNA for Chinese is not the same. As a person born and raised in China but have been living in the U.S. for 50 years, I can feel the acute difference between the two cultures. I am not saying which is better, or who is nicer. I am saying it is different. Chinese concern of "face" is overwhelmingly more than Americans. That is something dictates a lot on how Chinese treat "outside" people, which means they care a lot about perceptions by others. It is evident that even now, almost all "attacks" are initiated by the U.S., never China. JM is not the only one predicts the inevitable conflict between the U.S. and China. Graham Ellison, who coined the "Thucydides' Trap" says the same, but in his book he drew irrelevant examples dressed as evidence to boost his narrative. I think that is a general misconception by many Western scholars on their understanding of China.
@@jayobannon5359 There is a forum discussion with both present. John basically said his head said war is inevitable and his heart agreed with Sachs. Both men basically showed how they came to their conclision.

Hi Cyrus, Talking about freedom , why is China not free to develop its HiTech industry without being automatically punished by sanctions and tariffs by the West? If this isn't due to racial discrimination then what could it be due to?
China is free to develop its tech industry. Look at their EVs, electronic goods, renewable energy, space programs, infrastructures. It is all ahead of the US. The US fears China's domination of these in their own country. That is why they want to ban them. It's too late, and the rest of the world is a bigger market than the US now.
In the twisted psychotic mind of US policy makers, the freedom of the world is at the cost of the 'freedom' of the US - of course US 'freedom' really means domination, exploitation, abuse, and mass murder.
Biden: We need to fix climate change with solar panel and EV China : here they are. Biden: I mean expensive solar panel and EV, You are now sanctioned.
"The international community has recognized that no country is superior to others, no model of governance is universal, and no single country should dictate the international order." ~Xi Jinping
I do not understand why politicians saying China is a threat. They worked hard and raised a living standard. Why is that a threat? Other countries have the right to get rich and live in a higher standard living just like in western countries.
The difference between China and US. The Chinese are engineers they look for solution. US are a bunch of lawyers with a two year election cycle. So they just pass law and declare problem fixed and claim credit for the next election.
Never bet against China.. Indeed. I recall, way back in 1998 I was working for a European multinational company in the Middle East, and in entered a Chinese company competing against us. At first they had minor jobs here and there and very little of that. I could see that they seemed very poorly organized, lost and I thought they would quit and leave the country. A friend of mine kept saying that the Chinese won't quit and would actually win in the end. How true. Within 2 years they had improved so fast, became much better and were delivering better than the company I worked for. And were taking over most of the contracts. Within a few years the European company closed their operation in that country and left. Amazing 😂
Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking discussion. It’s refreshing to hear a perspective that emphasizes the importance of mutual understanding and cooperation between nations rather than conflict. Here’s hoping for a future where dialogue and collaboration take priority over fear and confrontation. ❤
Jimmy Carter: US 'Most Warlike Nation in History of the World' April 18, 2019 Former president says peaceful China 'ahead of us in almost every way.' The only US president to complete his term without war, military attack or occupation has called the United States "the most warlike nation in the history of the world." "Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?" Carter asked. "None, and we have stayed at war." While it is true that China's last major war-an invasion of Vietnam-occurred in 1979, its People's Liberation Army pounded border regions of Vietnam with artillery and its navy battled its Vietnamese counterpart in the 1980s. Since then, however, China has been at peace with its neighbors and the world. Carter then said the US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation. Counting wars, military attacks and military occupations, there have actually only been five years of peace in US history-1976, the last year of the Gerald Ford administration and 1977-80, the entirety of Carter's presidency. Carter then referred to the US as "the most warlike nation in the history of the world," a result, he said, of the US forcing other countries to "adopt our American principles." China's peace dividend has allowed and enhanced its economic growth, Carter said. "How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?" he asked. China has around 18,000 miles (29,000 km) of high speed rail lines while the US has "wasted, I think, $3 trillion" on military spending. According to a November 2018 study by Brown University's Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs, the US has spent $5.9 trillion waging war in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other nations since 2001. "It's more than you can imagine," Carter said of US war spending. "China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that's why they're ahead of us. In almost every way."
Les USA ont déjà fait pour le Japon lorsque le Japon a dépassé les américains, ils ont coulé le Japon pour ne pas le dépasser, car les USA ont réussi à mettre le Japon à genou.

Bravo, Professor Sachs! Such a source of wisdom and compassion, with the guts to share your views loudly and clearly. I hope we Americans stop squandering the goodwill, as you mentioned, that we’ve enjoyed for so long among the Chinese, for it is not an infinite resource. It would be so great for humanity if the US and China can goad each other to greater technological and cultural heights through peaceful if vigorous competition, and cooperate wherever we can, such as climate change. I wish Professor Sachs a very long life and health span because the longer he can continue to share his insights and prescriptions for improving our geopolitical situation, the better off we and future generations will be. Thanks also to Cyrus for his excellent handling of the interview.
That was a great interview with Jeffrey Sachs! If the United States of America wants to be successful for generations to come it must embrace a multipolar world complete with mutual respect and cooperation.
I'm a huge admirer of Professor Sachs, but I am skeptical of his views on free trade. He argues that both sides benefit from free trade but that benefit is not distributed equally in U.S. society (a point Sachs acknowledges). The benefit goes to specific groups commonly referred to as the elites (such as Wall Street and Banks.) This criticism of free trade has been made going all the way back to NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) which did immense harm to blue collar workers and was causal in the deindustrialization of the U.S. The basic problem is that free trade undermines sovereignty and further enables the elites to increase their power and further isolates these elites from the society in which they live. // I know that Professor Sachs is a renowned economist and for that reason I hesitate to diverge from his views on this issue, yet there are other economists who make this point. // Thanks for posting this.
This is income distribution and have nothing tp do withh free trade. The GDP growth in US and china is about the same. And yet China pull 800M people out of poverty and US pitv more people into poverty.
Next year, the US will have a new secretary of defense. Like his predecessor Lloyd Austin, the new secretary will find new alliances to build more military and naval bases and airfields overseas. Every secretary of defense wants to show off his "macho" image and don't want to be outdone. Each one of them wants to add another feather to America's cap. This is the reason why there are more and more US bases around the world though not needed but they made up excuses for its existence. What a shame!!!
My profound respect to Professor Jeffrey Sachs ❤.... Always speak words with wisdom and the truth .. May The God the Almighty bless You and Your Loved Ones with Peace .. Good Health.. Happiness and Longevity 🙏
For people to understand they must be educated and have an open mind. Other than the rich and powerful most citizens of the USA have neither. Unless there is a dollar sign at the end the words empathy, honesty, truthfulness, humility, integrity and even sympathy are not part of their vocabulary. Trumpf is a prime example and he is the leader.
Taiwan said US better arms Ukraine first . They have enough arms for now. The ex president Tsai said “ we have enough enough enough arms to get roasted like a DUCK”
You can’t change someone’s mind when they’re intentionally misunderstanding you. Arrogance is the culprit, he cannot see the world as anything but how he sees it and he claims it is real- implying you’re imagining.
I don't understand this Mearscheimer hate. He's a political scientist, he doesn't write public policy. He just happens to have a very accurate theory on how polities interact with each other on the international stage. He has been consistent on how this works since the 1990's before China was even a threat. He gives lectures IN CHINA all the time, he understands the subject. People are getting irrationally emotional not understanding his stance isn't pro war. He is explaining why political entities act the way they do.

yes, the chinese are very hardworking, at 2am you can see those construction workers working, cleaners cleaning the public roads in Guangzhou. Shame on the US for being so jealous of hard working people who only want a better life
People should not work on a construction site at 2 am but China has no human/workers rights. Moreover, the workers might spend a lot of hours on one task as they are not trained or just have different work ethics.
@editfazekas3854, what you said makes absolutely no sense. Go to China and check out their infrastructure it is not satisfactory or ok it’s top notch. These workers know what they’re doing they are working around the clock because work ethic is simply different there in that part of the world compared to the west. If they were so shoddy in there infrastructure building they wouldn’t be asked to literally fund finance and construct thousands of infrastructure projects around the world currently taking place like the mega port that was just completed in Peru and officially open.

China is a threat to the US national security not military but economically, China's aim is to end the Dollar Reserve statute, and the US sees this as a direct threat to the privilege, this has nothing to do with Taiwan or the South China Sea. All US actions before and now have to do with the Dollar privilege which they don't want to lose by all means but the Chinese are a step ahead of the US because the US can't force anyone to use the Dollar.

Im so happy to finally hear a voice telling historic truth
Amen to that!
Dr. Sachs, thank you for telling the truth about China vs. the USA.
Its a problem that you need to say that he is telling the truth, common sense can reveal american politics. The masses yet get brainwashed. Have some common sense.
Chinese don’t want war because they have suffered many times and directly from wars. Americans want war because they haven’t had that kind of suffering for a long time; they have forgotten the pain.
No they have, they just forgot their history, every new generation doesn't really care much about the past. The current American demographic is dominated by ancestors of the Roman empire, they have forgotten the past. Having a empire ruled by conquest doesn't last forever, it's not necessary anymore either, humanity has evolved to the point where we can give up war.
@@夢裏不知身是客 The United States of Avarice had very few wars on its territory (usually preferring to conquer or trying to conquer - Canada 1812 - its neighbors).
The Civil War (南北戦争) was probably the bloodiest and caused the most casualties and suffering, but then it was an internal affair, however bloody.
People under 80 year doesn't,understand what war is like
The US is addicted to War profiteering.
Americans have had wars that they’re responsible for but continue on making wars to make more money
The USA is jealous. It should work to prosper everyone. The USA doesn’t like to be overtaken in all aspects.
It has a huge minority complex, as the Eastern countries are centuries older. Compared to them, their histories, mindsets and conducts, the US is a mere teenager throwing tantrums because nobody really takes them serious.
Very, very true. The US is fighting for continued hegemony and the USD.
The world, under US leadership, has experienced the highest population, the highest average life expectancy of all time, the lowest child mortality, the lowest level of slavery, the highest level of civil rights, the most economic and social mobility, the greatest availability of education, the most advancement in global communications, healthcare, and technological advancement in general, in all of human history. In addition, no country has been militarily annexed by a foreign invader, globally, since WWII.
Are they perfect? Of course not. But it is difficult to argue with the results, and that we have met the definition of prosperity for all.
American exceptionalism is good for them in some ways, but it can be bad for the world. In the past they've chosen to change the rules in certain sports or create new sports altogether, if they they don't dominate in a sport, for example. They literally don't want to play ball with the rest of the globe if it gets in the way of their sense of superiority.
@@nocrtnameThe world under US leadership has been a disaster. It is good for the US but not for the world. We don’t need US leadership. The US is a threat to world peace. Under US leadership, it has engaged in forever foreign wars. “To be a friend of the US is dangerous but to be an enemy of the US is fatal.”
When you treat one like enemy, one not only looks like enemy and they acts like one too, but if you treat one like friend, you get a friend

And Trump understands this well. Which is why he didn't start any new military expeditions during his previous time in the White House. (And the Neo-Cons hated his guts for it.) Though, China cannot be contained any more, however much US senior politicians may want China to be contained in order to preserve US geopolitical supremacy. Trump can promote policies to bring some manufacturing back to the US, but the future is multipolar and the US has to compete with other countries, whether it likes it or not.

They’ve already lost the game, and they know it
The United States functions largely as a war economy, with a significant portion of its manufacturing sector dedicated to producing military weapons and equipment. This reliance on arms production creates a situation where the country continually seeks to sell more weapons to various nations around the world. While this practice may bolster the U.S. economy in the short term, it raises concerns about the ethical implications and long-term consequences of prioritizing military sales over other forms of manufacturing and trade. Ultimately, this approach may be seen as a troubling reflection of the nation's priorities and the impact it has on global peace and stability.
The USA has always been a bully and have used their military on numerous occasions to create wars. Then the rich who own the armaments manufactures make money. That is what a true AMERICAN is. The national moto is '' win at all costs using all methods available. They are experts in creating a '' win - loose '' method of negotiating.
Yes, it "bolsters the US economy.." but more importantly, it ensures the wealth of those who invest in the military industrial complex. i.e., many if not most members of congress. Until this obvious conflict of interest is illegal, they will continue to support war all over the world. I don't see this as a well meaning "reflection of the nation's priorities." I see it as the self interest of elites and the USA's determination to be a unipolar power dominating the world.
Except for 155mm artillery shells.

Wise prof , absolutely right 👍
Jeff just implied that John Mearsheimer is nuts. I would agree with this.
For sure on his China rhetoric
Jeffrey doesn't predict he tries to change outcomes. John's method is to dare the world to prove him wrong and fight for better outcomes than his model predicts.
John is quite clear that 75% predictive value is a huge success in geopolitics and geoeconomics. Jeffrey desperately wants that 25% likely outcome on each side...but that is like 8% likely. John knows it.
Jeffrey should start admitting it's hard to decide to cooperate and trust. That it may statistically not be advisable, even. So what? You can go to your death fighting the inevitable and in ten generations be seen as a hero or a fool. You'll never know.
But philosophically Jeffrey is advising the elites to take risks to make peace. And John is telling the rest of us to prepare to take cover, and to be ready to make a new world entirely out of the wreckage of the old. In effect, John is warning China and India that when THEY are the two surviving great powers, they must make a system that evades this trap. One where both defer to an arbitrator, at least.
But the USA never will. It's gone. Just a matter of how it goes down.
@@crhu319 I read a lot from JM, and I believe he is very much right when predicting the Western geopolitical behavior. However I think his mindset is not suitable when it comes to China. He understands the U.S. will not tolerate China's rise, but it takes two to tango. China will not behave like the U.S. because the cultural DNA for Chinese is not the same. As a person born and raised in China but have been living in the U.S. for 50 years, I can feel the acute difference between the two cultures. I am not saying which is better, or who is nicer. I am saying it is different. Chinese concern of "face" is overwhelmingly more than Americans. That is something dictates a lot on how Chinese treat "outside" people, which means they care a lot about perceptions by others. It is evident that even now, almost all "attacks" are initiated by the U.S., never China. JM is not the only one predicts the inevitable conflict between the U.S. and China. Graham Ellison, who coined the "Thucydides' Trap" says the same, but in his book he drew irrelevant examples dressed as evidence to boost his narrative. I think that is a general misconception by many Western scholars on their understanding of China.

Hi Cyrus,
Talking about freedom , why is China not free to develop its HiTech industry without being automatically punished by sanctions and tariffs by the West?
If this isn't due to racial discrimination then what could it be due to?
China is free to develop its tech industry. Look at their EVs, electronic goods, renewable energy, space programs, infrastructures. It is all ahead of the US. The US fears China's domination of these in their own country. That is why they want to ban them. It's too late, and the rest of the world is a bigger market than the US now.
In the twisted psychotic mind of US policy makers, the freedom of the world is at the cost of the 'freedom' of the US - of course US 'freedom' really means domination, exploitation, abuse, and mass murder.

China : here they are.

What America lacks today is reality recognizing strategic thinkers. It is a structural problem cannot be solved easily if at all.
Wise words, Heather. I wonder daily about where this is all headed!
The difference between China and US. The Chinese are engineers they look for solution. US are a bunch of lawyers with a two year election cycle. So they just pass law and declare problem fixed and claim credit for the next election.
Never bet against China.. Indeed. I recall, way back in 1998 I was working for a European multinational company in the Middle East, and in entered a Chinese company competing against us.
At first they had minor jobs here and there and very little of that. I could see that they seemed very poorly organized, lost and I thought they would quit and leave the country. A friend of mine kept saying that the Chinese won't quit and would actually win in the end. How true.
Within 2 years they had improved so fast, became much better and were delivering better than the company I worked for. And were taking over most of the contracts. Within a few years the European company closed their operation in that country and left. Amazing 😂

Jimmy Carter: US 'Most Warlike Nation in History of the World'
April 18, 2019
Former president says peaceful China 'ahead of us in almost every way.'
The only US president to complete his term without war, military attack or occupation has called the United States "the most warlike nation in the history of the world."
"Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?" Carter asked. "None, and we have stayed at war." While it is true that China's last major war-an invasion of Vietnam-occurred in 1979, its People's Liberation Army pounded border regions of Vietnam with artillery and its navy battled its Vietnamese counterpart in the 1980s. Since then, however, China has been at peace with its neighbors and the world.
Carter then said the US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation. Counting wars, military attacks and military occupations, there have actually only been five years of peace in US history-1976, the last year of the Gerald Ford administration and 1977-80, the entirety of Carter's presidency. Carter then referred to the US as "the most warlike nation in the history of the world," a result, he said, of the US forcing other countries to "adopt our American principles."
China's peace dividend has allowed and enhanced its economic growth, Carter said. "How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?" he asked. China has around 18,000 miles (29,000 km) of high speed rail lines while the US has "wasted, I think, $3 trillion" on military spending. According to a November 2018 study by Brown University's Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs, the US has spent $5.9 trillion waging war in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other nations since 2001.
"It's more than you can imagine," Carter said of US war spending. "China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that's why they're ahead of us. In almost every way."
Les USA ont déjà fait pour le Japon lorsque le Japon a dépassé les américains, ils ont coulé le Japon pour ne pas le dépasser, car les USA ont réussi à mettre le Japon à genou. Là, ils essaient de faire avec la Chine. La Chine n'est pas le Japon, avec 1.4 milliards d'habitants et ils ont presque identique dans toutes les domaines, du techno à l'espace, et la Chine a des terres rares pour fabriques des batteries, des avions ...etc

Bravo, Professor Sachs! Such a source of wisdom and compassion, with the guts to share your views loudly and clearly. I hope we Americans stop squandering the goodwill, as you mentioned, that we’ve enjoyed for so long among the Chinese, for it is not an infinite resource. It would be so great for humanity if the US and China can goad each other to greater technological and cultural heights through peaceful if vigorous competition, and cooperate wherever we can, such as climate change. I wish Professor Sachs a very long life and health span because the longer he can continue to share his insights and prescriptions for improving our geopolitical situation, the better off we and future generations will be.

That was a great interview with Jeffrey Sachs! If the United States of America wants to be successful for generations to come it must embrace a multipolar world complete with mutual respect and cooperation.
I'm a huge admirer of Professor Sachs, but I am skeptical of his views on free trade. He argues that both sides benefit from free trade but that benefit is not distributed equally in U.S. society (a point Sachs acknowledges). The benefit goes to specific groups commonly referred to as the elites (such as Wall Street and Banks.) This criticism of free trade has been made going all the way back to NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) which did immense harm to blue collar workers and was causal in the deindustrialization of the U.S. The basic problem is that free trade undermines sovereignty and further enables the elites to increase their power and further isolates these elites from the society in which they live. // I know that Professor Sachs is a renowned economist and for that reason I hesitate to diverge from his views on this issue, yet there are other economists who make this point. // Thanks for posting this.
This is income distribution and have nothing tp do withh free trade. The GDP growth in US and china is about the same. And yet China pull 800M people out of poverty and US pitv more people into poverty.
Next year, the US will have a new secretary of defense. Like his predecessor Lloyd Austin, the new secretary will find new alliances to build more military and naval bases and airfields overseas. Every secretary of defense wants to show off his "macho" image and don't want to be outdone. Each one of them wants to add another feather to America's cap. This is the reason why there are more and more US bases around the world though not needed but they made up excuses for its existence. What a shame!!!

It’s good to be reminded of these words of wisdom from prof. Sachs. Please keep beating the drums of peace…besides, they can be funky fine.
Thank you Cyrus and professor Sachs! There should be more Americans like both of you. 😊
Taiwan said US better arms Ukraine first . They have enough arms for now. The ex president Tsai said “ we have enough enough enough arms to get roasted like a DUCK”
They are sending their arms to Ukraine for FREE per US REQUEST. And they are placing a 15B arms purchase for Trump as protection fee.
She's filled her pockets already so no need for more
Professor Sachs: American hero!
Keir Starmer okayed twelve of his Storm Shadow missiles being used against Russia.
With his Master's permission.
If we do this as one nation, as one company, as one speech, as one hearth and no one can beat us.
Yeah, China is scared like baby. and they back out for their war preparedness to USA. they already feel loss
Thanks!
Great discussion , totally agree on both , thank you both.
We just hope that the most excellent John Mearsheimer changes his view on China and the necessity to "contain"it!
He needs a true debate with some scholars from China. JM lacks the true understanding of the Chinese culture DNA.
You can’t change someone’s mind when they’re intentionally misunderstanding you. Arrogance is the culprit, he cannot see the world as anything but how he sees it and he claims it is real- implying you’re imagining.
I don't understand this Mearscheimer hate. He's a political scientist, he doesn't write public policy. He just happens to have a very accurate theory on how polities interact with each other on the international stage. He has been consistent on how this works since the 1990's before China was even a threat.
He gives lectures IN CHINA all the time, he understands the subject. People are getting irrationally emotional not understanding his stance isn't pro war. He is explaining why political entities act the way they do.
@@domokun845 There is a video with JM and Sachs on the panel. Go see that video. He explain where his conclusion come from. And it make sense to me. The hostility came from US not China and he agreed with Sachs
@@domokun845 but he still advocates "containing" China. Don't you think this is a disrespectful attitude?
The only rational voice that makes sense.
Think how relieved we would all be if Prof Sachs was in charge.
Nice video
Tq Mr. Cyrus, tq prof. Sachs
In my home town, a smallish town in California, the homeless population has gone up dramatically. From what I've heard this is true for the big cities in California as well. How does this make them winners? Not that I don't want good relations with China, but apparently something has to change.
Why there is no homeless in Mexico? The US failure is self inflicted by bad culture and bad policy.
Change like what?
@@davidwong5197 Like rebuilding manufacturing in America.
@@jimzorn3853 My friend that is not going to happen. Even China is off shoring to Vietnam and Mexico. Low wage job will always go to the country with the lowest wage. People in China don't want to make sneakers either.
@@davidwong5197 I guess that over the next four years we'll see whether that is true or not.
Profound lessons indeed. Keep it up Professor!! We hate war.
Jealousy plain and simple
Professor Jeffery Sachs is always on spot👍👍👍👌He should run for US president should 100% winner
If you believe China is a peaceful and progressive country, raise your hand ✋🙋👍
I certainly won't. My Son lived in China for 10 years and I went there 3 times. All I saw was: Do not go back there. They are crazy.
✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼🇨🇳🥰
@@marysylvie2012 You've been to China 3 times? Which part of China did you visit?
@@marysylvie2012 My husband and I went to 10 cities in China for 46 days last year. Fell in love with it. Nowhere is safer, cleaner, cheaper or better than China in the world. The living cost is so high in the US, with the same amount of money, we would have much better life in China.
The respected Professor is a very wiseman in the era of madness.
yes, the chinese are very hardworking, at 2am you can see those construction workers working, cleaners cleaning the public roads in Guangzhou. Shame on the US for being so jealous of hard working people who only want a better life
People should not work on a construction site at 2 am but China has no human/workers rights. Moreover, the workers might spend a lot of hours on one task as they are not trained or just have different work ethics.
@editfazekas3854, what you said makes absolutely no sense. Go to China and check out their infrastructure it is not satisfactory or ok it’s top notch. These workers know what they’re doing they are working around the clock because work ethic is simply different there in that part of the world compared to the west. If they were so shoddy in there infrastructure building they wouldn’t be asked to literally fund finance and construct thousands of infrastructure projects around the world currently taking place like the mega port that was just completed in Peru and officially open. Do a better job of hiding your jealousy you sound like a sad bitter individual who still believes in western exceptionalism.
@@editfazekas3854 And a $7 an hour minimum wage with no work life balance and bosses that can fire you because you refuse to work a 70 hour week is better?
@@editfazekas3854 In USA, you need to work 2 jobs to make ends meet.
@@editfazekas3854 Actually they do that in US too on road repair. This is reduced traffic jam
GOD bless Cyrus and Jeffrey and may your tribes multiply!!!
US uses military might and business exploitation in all her ventures overseas. China starts of by working with the countries to develop a sustainable economic model to grow
last year usa companies sold 800 billion in goods to chinese consumers. all could be at stake. from new taxes and boycotts.
US brand is on the decline in China. The perception is US is hurting the livelihood of the people. And they are far more expensive than local brand
Thank you, This is very educative and shows the trajectory to be followed
