Is Xi Jinping’s China on a path to war? Mehdi Hasan & Victor Gao | Head to Head
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Over the past few decades, China has solidified its status as an economic superpower. But the country’s economic boom coupled with its increased military might has increased tensions in the region, including with Taiwan, where fears are mounting over a possible Chinese invasion.
Meanwhile, at home, China’s human rights record remains under the spotlight with severe curtailments on free speech and a continued hardline policy on the country’s Uighur community.
So what lies ahead?
Mehdi Hasan goes head-to-head with Victor Gao, the former translator for Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping and vice president of the Center for China and Globalization, on President Xi Jinping's rule, China's foreign policy and its clampdown on dissent.
Joining the discussion are:
Rayhan Asat - international human rights lawyer of Uighur descent and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council
Stephen Chan - professor of world politics at the University of London, School of African and Oriental Studies
Martin Jacques - author of When China Rules the World and visiting professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing

"He is somewhere in China. You will never see him." should be a meme.
@@CyFed_Republic_of_Kaltovar yes, it should be. I don’t have much experience with meme generating. Let’s make it happen, @al_jazeera
@CyFed_Republic_of_Kaltovar Did you know where was Julian Assange for many years..?
Yes we knew ecactly where he was at all times. That was public knowledge and widely reportted by free media and i suspect a few non free media suxh as CGTN! @@creativeminds5773
@@creativeminds5773yes we do. And the I persecution process though ridiculous is still open and journalists are covering. Do your research you before you comment you stupid CCP bot.
We can also criticise the process. Try doing that inside CCP China criticising or even just asking questions about these "sensitive issues" and see what will happen to you
He just disappeared from the internet news, doesn’t mean he disappeared from the world. If I were Victor, I would answer like this😂
"Dont criticize unless its positive"
this perfectly describes CCP's vision of "freedom"
Just like they say inside CCP China: you have freedom of speech, just you only get to use it once in your life
I get Victor's idea in theory. Criticize but offer your own solution that could improve things. But it simply doesn't work in practice in China because govt is so deeply insecure. Here's an example. "Zero covid was a disaster in China. The government should have followed the advice of the WHO and end its lockdowns which harmed more people than it helped." How would the government respond to this constructive criticism and 'positive' suggestion for improvement? (listen to the scientists of the world who were in full consensus that the lockdowns in China should end in 2022). You will get pilloried and blocked online for suggesting that the Chinese government harmed more people than it helped. And it's an insult to suggest that govt didn't follow worldwide scientific consensus which is true but makes them look bad. So in practice, you can never criticize.
A few people cannot divide a country, just like the people in your hometown cannot declare independence alone. Even if your whole village voted.
If this were allowed, there would be not just 200 countries in the world today, but maybe 2,000. This will undoubtedly plunge the earth into the consequences of a long-term war.
By the way, a country's former ruling party, after losing the support of the majority of the people, fled to one of the provinces with a handful of supporters and attempted to split the country, which itself violated the country's constitution.
@@fs5775 The virus started in the US and it was discovered way earlier than China. They just keep it low profile until China took the blame.
This explains why China took Zero Covid policy very seriously while the other countries just let it play out.
Here is the findings.

9:46 Victor brought up that “a citizen cannot criticize the leaders of the country, just like the British cannot criticize King Charles…” When Mehdi said he is British but he can criticize King Charles, Victor said “Every Country is different.” It’s slapping his own face.
Actually to be frank, we are the people living in China and there are so many way for us to express ourselves. If not, how can the country improve? It will just be a corrupted state. Don't be so naive and just cover everything in just one over-generalized statement, there are not much details within and don't try to be affected by some simplified views. I agree that within China we are not as free as some western states, but imagine what would happen if we are holding "Communism" is great and start a propaganda in the west, I guess some people will also try to put out that fire in some ways since they support so-called their democracy and don't want to be challenged.

Well, I saw that. I'm not Chinese, and I know China is not a democratic country. However, in terms of foreign policy, considering its economic and military power, it is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. Compare it to the U.S. and all the wars it has initiated since the end of WWII, as well as its support of Israel the only apartheid country in the world. The U.S. isn't bothered by the lack of democracy in China ،they don't care about the Chinese people at all. The only thing that bothers the U.S. is the econoic and the military growth of China. They don't want to be overtaken by China, that's the only reason why the U.S. hates China.

Good thing that happened so he is back to Al Jazeera and Mehdi have many more of this episodes or interview with many different people. Have fun, I already watched all, it's Alot of fun.
First lecture Israel
I thought they were debating . It doesn’t look like an interview to me.
The most rude conversation I've ever seen, interrupting people's statements throughout
I guess Mehdi is similar to Piers Morgan in that regard.
This is not a debate, debate has rules.
Looks on the comments. They love rude people.
There is a lot of talk about Taiwan now, but remember that Puerto Rico was annexed as American territory and their citizens are denied voting in presidential elections even now.
Yeah, and they're also denied paying taxes......... Before Alaska became a state, we weren't allowed to vote in elections either. It has been the reality of literally every state in the United States excepting 13 😂
But they still have constitutional protections in Puerto Rico. So quit deflecting you f****** bot
Yeah and a majority of Puerto Ricans (literally almost all of them) want to be the 52nd state.
@@TacticalMayo over 2/3 of all US states used to be territories... And they don't have to pay taxes. Obviously they prefer citizenship and it will happen eventually.
But if one is critical of the annexation of Puerto Rico, then why would one take the opposite stance in regards to Taiwan. That makes no sense
He almost scold the man. This is not an interview bro.

"Corruption is rampant in China." - Victor Gao 31:48
haha, exactly. Most people missed it. He just admitted that corruption is rampant, how can you believe a word they say. It's all lies
@@merlebump5328 lucky there is ZERO corruption in right wing capitalist countries like USA.
@@merlebump5328 yeah, your country is not corrupted, lol
@@merlebump5328oh and America is so free of corruption lol. Don’t throw stones from a glass houses. You guys legalise bribery by calling it lobbying 😂
Yes, the Chinese dare to admit it, but what about you? Deceiving oneself and others
Victor is well-said. As a country who was invaded, having a sophisticated defense system is critical
This guy does not disappear because Xi likes him
yeah he fumbled this interview and will likely spend the rest of his life in a reeducation camp, which is really unfortunate because politics aside, he seemed like a nice guy
I thought he exposed the ccp truth really well. the comrades back in ccp land are probably toasting him a Baijiu right now. LOL!

Very weird, America
hmmm, curious. I'm very smart.
dictatorship trolls are all the same. They can only repeat the same lines over and over. In this case its "he was rude" or the basic boring: whataboutism
I see Mehdi quickly changed the topic the moment he spoke about India and being a great nation. Mehdi is totally opponent of India, Proof: Watch his interview with Shashi Tharoor on Kashmir issue. It is a quite Suprise to see he praised India.
The way Gao speaks is very ghoulish. Blood thirsty individual.
Yup, a raging endorsement for Boycotting China.
Not like Salafist Uyghurs who end up in Syria doing the west's bidding. Read about or watch the interviews of Daniel Dumbrill. Mehdi Hassaan is a tool of Western Liberal Imperialist Hegemony. A significant amount of Uyghurs live peacefully and a significant amount are part of a real terrorist threat such as the TIP, founded by Hasan Mahsum.
No more ghoulish than Blair, Obama Macron or Netanyahu who were ghoulish by action.
@@Leo82870 ahh so your saying its acceptable for all of them .. your answer is dubious at best. This is a specific conversation go after others in their conversations
@@DA-ti6pc I am suggesting that in the aforementioned cases one must differentiate between subjective reactions to Gao's interview and actual offensive wars ranging from NATO bombing Libya which was a US, French and British operation to current settler colonization in the Palestinian territories through violence. Moreover the British Opium wars with China and occupation of Hong Kong through gunboat diplomacy was worse than Chinese efforts at reunification as the latter is at this point only sabre rattling.There is nothing dubious here about those facts, save Hasan's lack of historical context.
37:57 I think some of us just came here to exclusively watch this scene
I didn't like mehdi style here, he was very rude and not letting the other guy finishing the answer
Freedom of speech in the west undermined by the cancel culture and intimidating interview style. Who dares to speak the opposite narrative of the west? I guess very few brave ones.
I agree, there are plenty of ways to keep an interviewee on topic that don't involve constantly speaking over and speaking down to him. Gao was avoiding questions, but anyone mature and not already deeply convinced of their own perspective won't appreciate the obvious slant and disrespect here.
Yeah
@@A.K.625 I completely agree with you.
You are sensible to notice that Hasan is critical of China. In every statement he attacked Victor Gao at one point he even asked how many Ughurs were in prison, Victor was taken aback how should he know the number that this mischievous guy with juvenile intelligence thought he could debate with VG with such a question. Of course, he couldn't just give a number that he doesn't;t know it's like you ask Pompeo or Bolton or any US politicians how many prisoners in the US are on Death Row or even a simple question how many prisoners wrongly incarcerated are in Guantamp Penitentiary. The answer is no one could provide a clear number because they are not the wardens in those prisons. Then he stupidly said I got the number because he asked and inquired about it. If the audience was smart they should know this was a dirty tactic to pull. Hasan works for the Guardian, did anyone check out this media they are Anti-China so this dumbass has to work for his boss underwise he would be unemployed again. He got fired from his latest job at MSNBC and noticed that the network had no good word for him because he was a nuisance.
I like Viktor Gao, he seems like a nice guy

I totally agree with you, as I expressed above
Bro thinks he's a late night comedy show host. Deeply unserious and insincere
I find the presenter very rude, he doesn’t even let Mr. Gao finish his sentences, he constantly interrupts him. I believe Victor Gao is smarter than all of the people in that hall put together, so it might be a good idea to hear what he has to say.
i want an update, did he really found her missing brother as he promise ? 😅

This guy still repeats the old fake news made up by CIA, and western media, just like a well-trained US puppy.
He interrupted quite a lot!
It was a complete mess for victor and the Chinese government here...😂 I am pretty much sure the Chinese government must be asking victor why he even signed up to do the interview?

@@ItinerantIntrovertHe was ambushed. Mehdi threw stats at him and when he could not produce his own stats, ignored everything he said. That is a debate tactic. But I was expecting some actual analysis here. Not high school debating.
@@Tyiion he was explicitly asked for alternative statistics by mehdi and yes, he could not produce his alternative stats despite boasting about his expertise, which does beg the question: how did he know that mehdi's stats, which he listed credible sources for, where false?
he wasn't ambushed, he was dismissive. be honest.
@tomthecasual5337 Of course he was dismissive. Mehdi keeps on interrupting him and couldn't answer properly, that isn't how proper behaviour in debates should be.
@@tomthecasual5337 Mehdi did not accept any answer except other stats, which he already said he did not have. When someone tells you they do not have the data you are requesting, and you do not allow him make any other response at all, you have just shut them up using the same techniques you see in high school debate teams. I did not show up to watch a high school debate but to see two adults having a meaningful discussion or debate. I did not click on this to watch one party shut off the conversation when the other side did not respond to his liking.
Omg this is the most despotic talk i ever heard. Feel sad for all the chinese people
Mind your own business or you'll look like a joke.😂😂😂😂你可以吗？
bro, firstly, try to go to school before you feel sad for the surroundings
Why? UK doesnt have free speech. This show is a complete joke
@@EuropeaninChina Xi Jinping is a fat loser dictator who will bury the whole of China into the ground with his stupidity. Can you repeat that after me Mr. Free Speech?
feel sorry for you except you don't realize it.
I actually found his responses very informative and logical
As a Chinese, I think I would actually be very happy if the Western world was content with this linguistic victory.（Felt sorry for Dr. Gao but he done his job very well) Please continue to revel in this atmosphere. Maybe 5 or 10 years ago, the Chinese would still have retorted angrily. But now we will just applaud with you. This kind of boardcast is just a really good sitcom for me.
agree there should be an understanding of China, China's history and values. The presenter Medhi was disrespectful, throwing his personal views, opinions and insistent without giving the opportunity to Dr. Gao to complete his phrases.. free speech is also listening..
Gao through his answer's painted a fairly ghoulish picture of Xi and the CCP government. Seems a bit weird if that's what you are happy with, but you do you I guess.
Dont worry I found this very very revealing. And I think Mehdi exposed himself here. I found Gao's responses very clear and consistent. China wont tolerate ``separatism`` that is being incited and funded by its Western counterpart. The same counterpart that has a vast history of invading countries, murdering its people, and stealing their resources.
Honestly, Im surprised Mehdi is siding with the Imperial West
嘘，静静的看他们表演就好了
Wow, Mr. Hasan is not pulling any punches in this interview. It's great to see a real journalist at work.
Mehdi is completely rude and arrogant. He just interrupts every single time when Victor is speaking, never letting him finish his sentence. How about you try to speak in Chinese then and see if you can even form a single sentence much less a conversation. Mehdi doesn't know how to hold a proper debate!
I love China!
Taiwanese people are Chinese people.
But the Ocean is the Ocean
Sea?
Victor's tone changed after Mehdi said "maybe you will disappear outside after this show"
This was Victor's moment of realisation and fear, and a time in the debate to re-establish his loyalty.
It is sad that fear can be so widespread and ingrained. It is just sad. People should never have to live in fear. Honestly even Victor, he is terrified of stepping out of line. Of course he will not start ranting about how he truly feels in a public debate like this. There was only one purpose of this "debate" to paint a very clear picture.
I visited Taiwan last year,I have seen how much it deteriorates over the decades. The same feeling when I visit many places of US. For what I see I don’t think Taiwan going the right way for its people even how much the media preaches its democracy. Talk to people there in Taiwan, they know their ruling party is corrupted and self serving. You need to travel, be on the ground, interact with local and not listen and believe everything online.
"Oh noo..Taiwan is corrupt and deteriorating.. Its time for them to establish single party dictarorship with China!"
Is that what you mean? By the way I don't know which part of the US you visited, but even if you visited Mississippi which is the poorest states of the US is four times more prosperous than China
An interview where the interviewer wants to b the main character is difficult to watch
This is full blown comedy gold. Amazing, amazing. Thank you Mehdi!!

Why Muslim countries are not supporting Uyghurs by confronting China??? If I am a Munafiq, what about those Muslim countries???
Because most of the accuusations are not true. Thats why western countries are the only ones doing this
because Muslim countries knows the fact. they dont believe rumor.
Bec Muslim countries are also ruled by dictatorships same as China lol.
@@verifunny because it’s baseless propaganda lies
Wtf do u know abt uyghurs?
The critique from Western nations, particularly the United States, regarding China's stance on Taiwan often seems inconsistent when considering America's own historical actions, such as the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy and subsequent annexation of the islands. Before directing criticism toward China, the U.S. should reflect on its own past actions and acknowledge the complexities of its history in relation to sovereignty and territorial expansion. A balanced approach would require a thorough understanding of both contemporary geopolitical issues and the lessons from past mistakes.
lmao so true. Im from Argentina and we are still fighting to get the Balkan Islands back from the UK. Western hypocrisy is so loud and obvious even when they expose themselves they think they ``won`` the interview. The guy (mehdi} supposedly arguing for free speech wouldnt even let gao speak, which in itself is utterly revealing, and reminiscent of western ``values`` imposing themselves on all the cultures theyve colonized and erased, murdered, and stolen their resources. happening to this day.
In fairness, the Chinese dude has nerves of steel responding to all these hard truths.
Conclusion
China has highest growth in globe
How does this guy get to be the man organizing this .i wish he would be quiet aand allow more people to speak.
