Is Xi Jinping’s China on a path to war? Mehdi Hasan & Victor Gao | Head to Head
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 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😂
This is 10,000x better than a 5 minute segment on MSNBC

How about Fox??
Can Fox insult Trump??

You can go on about MSNBC - that's ok. But the point is...
Boycott China.

"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.

Examiner: I heard that you beat your wife and children at home?
Liu Gang: They didn’t even have enough to eat before, but now their living conditions have improved a lot.
Examiner: I’m asking you, have you ever beaten them?
Liu Gang: Our family’s development achievements are obvious to everyone in the village.
Examiner: I didn’t ask you that, I just asked you, have you beaten your wife and children?
Liu Gang: Why didn’t you ask the old Liu family about beating their wives and children?
Examiner: I am asking you, do you beat your wife and children at home?
Liu Gang: Has there been any beating in your family's history? According to my investigation, your great-grandfather beat his wife more than a hundred years ago.
Examiner: I am asking you now, have you ever beaten your wife or children?
Liu Gang: I have written it into the family rules not to beat my wife and children.
Examiner: Did you follow the family rules?
Liu Gang: Family rules are the internal affairs of our family and others have no right to interfere.
Examiner: Have you beaten your wife and children? Liu Gang: I condemn the act of beating my wife and children!
Examiner: Let me ask you, do you beat your wife and children?
Liu Gang: It is irresponsible for you to raise this kind of question. Have you been to our home? I invite you to visit my home and see for yourself.
Examiner: Let me ask you, have you ever beaten your wife or children?
Liu Gang: I can tell you that the person who knows our relationship best is not you, but me and my family. I have a say, you don't.
Examiner: Have you ever fought???
Liu Gang: Your question is full of prejudice against my family and arrogance. Our family welcomes all well-intentioned suggestions, but rejects any unfounded accusations! So please don’t ask such irresponsible questions again!
That's hysterical!

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.

I have never laughed this much watching an interview 😭😭
The single episode of Gao is more hilarious than all posts I've read from richkidspolice. Needa download and bring this to my tomb
It reminds me of my carefree chill childhood days watching bbc hardtalk
A bureaucrat from a country with no free press tries to answer questions that go against the leader's propaganda. Instant comedy.
I love China, but Xi wants China to be North Korea. I feel bad for the Chinese people, because Xi seems to want to follow Putin’s model…
first mistake- it's not an interview
I almost peed laughing
"It doesn't matter what the people in Taiwan want." Wow. That is all that should matter. Not what China nor the US wants.
The amazing thing is that the US wants what is best for Taiwan, and the CCP pays people like you good money to make it seem like the US is destroying Ukraine and Taiwan.
Awfully evil and satanic nation=> CN
let me ask you a question, did the native red indians want the white europeans to invade their land? or did the aborigines want australia or new zealand want the british to invade their lands as well? double standards all around
it doesn't matter because the land itself is part of china, and has been for the time period BEFORE when japan started wars against china and occupied the island (which japan later returned to china after ww2), the land belongs to the chinese people, and outsiders/regimes trying to separate the island from china to be used as a launch pad for the US military should be punished and brought to justice

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.

Are you completely ignorant about his career? 5 seconds of googling will prove to yourself that you do not know much. He works where he wants to.
theres always consequences for what you say but losing a job is hardly serious punishment as he still gets to say what he wants
At least he wouldn't just disappear. There's a big difference.
He basically called Benny Morris a genocide supporter and Morris is one of the most respected and cited liberal historians of Israeli history

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.
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.
"why are you so insistent on ruling parts of China that don't want to be ruled?"

There's separtists in every country. From US Conferderates, UK Scotland/North Ireland, Catalonia Spain etc. The difference is how far each group goes and how strongly they're dealt with.

"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

Why did Winnie the Pooh allow this interview? Victor did terrible.
im wondering that too lol
Because he's cunning, not astute.
He sounds just like Putin, justifying Russia's ownership of Ukraine. And the consequences for the inhabitants disappearing for governmental criticism is exactly the same. Just wow.
Completely different! NATO are trying to expand on Russia’s border

@@petertyper1 That why russia is reducing its troop on Nato Border
well actually Ukraine was part of former russia before.
the only thing putin wants is ukraine is to be neutral on the situation not making nato gets too close to russia.
Russia actually dont care for Ukraine and can do what they want as long as they're neutral for both sides.
I don't think China should give a toss about Mehdi, UK or US views. China does not tell how the UK or US run their own country.
Okay...I'm one of that 10% Japanese descendants...am I fxxd ? 😅😂
Sounds like. Lol😂
Just sign your allegiance to the one China policy and you should be fine, lol.
ask your japanese dads if they are willing to take you back to your motherland of jaaaaarpen

There are detailed record of which families switched their last name to Japanese during the Japanese era and which families changes their last name to Chinese after WWII. It is not that hard to check.
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

37:57 I think some of us just came here to exclusively watch this scene
As a Kenyan, our biggest debt is not Chinese. It is internal and also to private western banks
Bloomberg did a video on it and said it's nowhere near as bad as western media makes it out to be and is better than most loans from IMF and the West. Last time I checked, If China is clamping down on seperatism and acknowledgment as China being the state in power, it's a lot less than what the USA has done in the Middle-East, Libya, Afghanistan etc. and what it continues to do right now with their bases and not to mention their biggest ally Israel.
They are in fact very biased. We protested against the IMF in Kenya and not against China
The interviewer is excellent.
It's shocking how dismissive the Chinese diplomat was about Tibet's situation. His statement that "Tibet will always be part of China" reflects the same attitude that has led to decades of human rights abuses and the repression of Tibetan culture. The reality is, Tibetans are living under strict control, with no freedom of speech, and they can't even return home without pledging loyalty to the very system that oppresses them.
This man is pure evil
you can see how evil ccp is because how dismissive the diplomat can be on such an issue.
The thing is china protects it's historical sovereign land fiercely
Do you think Scotland will not be a part of the United Kingdom? Do some history. You have only your ancestors to blame for what you are complaining now! Don't just follow propaganda and fake news.
@@amorpaz1prove it . Waiting
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.
This is the most bold and inquisitive journalism I've seen yet.
He is always like this with everyone, he got removed from MSNBC because he was also like this with the Israel who is NATO supporting. 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.

Not sure
This is what real Journalism and a journalist looks like! 👏🏻
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.
Great point Victor made about Mehdi having no choice but to bow down to the crown 😂
I think Medhi has a hard time grasping how ginormous China's population is and how much people are in the government, hence the higher amount of politicians detained.
Bravo victor go.. You still cool when you almost alone..
I loved the honesty of this men 💙💛💚❤️
How you gonna interview someone and not let him finish his sentence?
We believe in the importance of hearing diverse opinions, regardless of whether we agree with them. It's essential to allow everyone the opportunity to speak without interruption, as cutting someone off can be perceived as disrespectful.
The goal of debate is not to be a bulldozer.
there is nothing to debate he is pretty honest but would prefer not to
I think Mr. Gao is already one of the better government officials in China foreign affairs. He is knowledgeable and actually trying to answer questions directly with honesty. You can read information from his answer. Believe me that’s rare in China - I never knew wth are they talking about when listening to any foreign affair officials is speaking. Simply nonsense. The host is just being aggressive and too eager to prove himself not even allowing the qinghua visiting professor to finish. You can have much worse ones talking nonsense to you and then getting no result at all.
One of the funniest interviews Ive ver seen, dude is just mask off 😂
He can't face the truth he's Fears For himself and his family in China❤ the reportor ❤from Australia 🇦🇺 with Love
how to win the argument? 1. don't listen to what opponent talk, 2. don't let him talk. :v
That Chinese lawyer is delusional 😂 Everyone can see that he is denying the truth
My favourite show is back. Can't wait to witness many more to come. This is Where you Can't hide the truth❤
Here's some positive criticism for you, China. Stop being Communist. Embrace reform. Embrace freedom. That's as positive as it gets.
who trusted the dumb Yankee regime
West talking about the erosion of human rights... oh the irony.
Yet here you are, on a platform that Chinese would not be allowed to speak freely on if it was based in China. The Chinese equivalent sites does not have this discourse.
he's not hosting for msnbc he's hosting for Qatar State Media wdym?
the host should let the Chinese guy finish answering his question...
Victor Gao is authenticly chinese
China is embarrassing 😢
To Al Jazeera: Can you interview me? I'd like to talk about everyday freedoms in China that do not exist in America. I have many examples that you can verify and test. This would be a historically groundbreaking interview. Do you dare to do it? lol. I am the only one that has the guts to tell the truth about stuff like this.
This is not an interview, it is a direct attack on China, but Mr. Gao was able to defend his position against the propaganda of the English empire.
五毛警报！
Winnie the Pooh is very proud! $.50 paid!
