To all of you who have left me comments to my conversation with Wei Hoong, thank you for taking the time to reach out and share your thoughts. The power of discourse, whether filled with positivity, emotion, angst or vitriole, nonetheless reflects the diversity of thought in society. So Thank You. I am only a recent student of China, having visited just once, and as a result, I know very little of it and its history -- that much is abundantly clear from this video. But I am Chinese, and extremely proud of my ancestry. My forefathers came to this country from Southern China many centuries ago. This, coupled with China's growing global importance and proximity to us in ASEAN, prompts the conversations I have and will continue to do so, with folks like Wei Hoong. China, like all other nations, is extremely complex and colourful, the sum total of many millions of kinds of people and backgrounds. Hence, all viewpoints, from all statures, matter. So I will continue to seek out people like Wei Hoong who have spent time there working and living, studying her past and present, and are willing to talk, so that everyone may hopefully benefit and learn. As for me -- apologies are in order. I should know more about my ancestral homeland. I vow to continue to study her and to better understand, through the power of conversation and the consumption of the abundance of media available, the many layers of complexity of this huge nation from which my forefathers emanated. Once again, thank you all for your comments. Do keep them coming. My only plea is to keep your thoughts civil and constructive, which are the anchoring Ethos' of this channel. Yours, Chuang
I used to hold strong view against China due to media portrayal and ignorance. Ever since my first visit to China in 2018, I started to learn about her, everything including history. Like Wei Hong, I'm Chinese-ed and currently working in China. I'm also a Straits Chinese with ancestry dating back to Ko Chow (Gaozhou) and Palembang. I agree with Wei Hong that our biggest strength lies in our ability in being highly/fully conversant in Sinic, Nusantarian and Western civilisations. Not just the languages but also its knowledge systems and ways of life.
Keeping an open mind is important especially in this era, and you have demonstrated in this case, well done! Knowing what we don’t know and recognizing that is a big leap forward 👍👍👍
I don’t understand why he brought up Tibet, Xinjiang? Obviously either he never been to China those regions or his mindset already influenced by western media. Obviously he doesn’t believe what so many foreigners living in China or travelled those regions and debunked those accusations. As any overseas Chinese, hk protesters were violent and china military was not even involved unliked Americans and to think China was heavy handed towards hk is incorrect. Hk is still free to take care of its business.
As a host, it's your responsibility to learn more about China to be able to craft more nuanced and critical questions about China. Or to reveal such ignorance. At least you need to have a general ideas of different perspectives. Nevertheless, your guess is really awesome with his knowledge that decisively cut across Western propaganda and false narrative. Still, your humility and eagerness to learn is commendable. You have so many independent youtubers to choose from: Australian Jerry Grey with his Jerry's take on China; American Cyrus Janssen, Andy Boreham from NZ, and for more scholarly treatment, Belgian Pascal Coppens. An excellent Chinese perspective I would highly recommend is Carl Zha's historical account of China when interviewed by American Brian Berletics in his New Atlas youtube: ruclips.net/video/ghdKUaxyByY/видео.html That perspective explains why China acts and behaves the way it does now.
Although you are starting to show doubt, you still give too much credit to western mainstream media. The US has a long history of inventing atrocities in “enemy states” so they can instigate regime change, coups and military intervention for “humanitarian reasons”. Recommend the book “Atrocity Fabrication and Its Consequences” by University of London scholar A B Abrams. The book has some great chapters on Xinjiang, Tibet, Tiananmen in addition to the well known WMDs in Iraq, chemical weapons in Syria etc.
I am Singaporean. Wei Hoong is right. I wish Singapore never gave up Mandarin medium education which Malaysia still has. That is Msia's edge. Wei Hoong knows his Chinese history too.
Someone in TikTok said ky has made his entire career out of backstabbing mentors and comrades,he went to colonizer tongue school, Anglo-Saxon want Chinese to become half baked Britishers, colonizer used religion and language to colonize and subjugate their subject.
@@ACho168 white man success was build on stolen loot in the name of Jesus, said one Hindu, white man commit tons of evil earn tons of gold made women and children suffer in hell to become successful countries.
My daughter was educated in Kuen Cheng. In her Form 2 she was given a ASEAN Scholarship but I told her not to take it as it will delay her higher education. She continued with her UEC did her medical degree in Calgary, her Residency in U of Manitoba and Fellowship in MD Anderson. She became a director of one of the medical corporations in Canada. Thus my suggestion was not wrong. The UEC is highly recognised overseas. Many of Malaysian Chinese students are in TsingHua University in China. Prof Loh is correct about this being a Malaysian advantage/ something only Malaysia has.
I am not sure that China is so ready to take in foreigners today to work in their local medical hospitals with 20% unemployed local graduates and have them rise up the ranks while working in China?
Ha ha not sure if the host will have him back. I thought that the discussions were pretty shallow and one sided with poor examples like HK declining over the past 20 years or so. Not sure if this is factually correct. I thought HK declined was only in the last few years because of Covid , CCP National Security and US trade sanctions? Even if it were true HK was handed over to CCP in 1997 so whose fault was it for the decline??
Tibet and XINJIANG are so beautiful and developed. The people there are so happy and their lives have improved by leaps and bounds. Go there and see for yourself brother. I had visited both.
Ya, before Tibet became part of China it was 90% a slave country. Today the GDP of Tibet is around US8K vs US1800 in India. Xinjiang a dirt poor area now has a GDP per capita of US12K with modern buildings, roads , bridges etc It is going to be the "Singapore" of BRI He just refuse to even report on the good of China
The world is divided & much confused bcos the U.S. & UK & white imperialists hv always assumed they are more superior & smarter than Asians & coloured ppl!!! However, Asian civilization is much2 earlier than the white!!! Look at the present latest scenario, China is @ the very3 top with India next! The U.S. & UK are in pale filthy beige with homelessness, drugsters, social unrest & unemployment & uncontrollable gun violence!!!
In 2020, China tests fire missiles and successfully hit a moving target in the South China Seas. With the new hypersonic missiles, they can sink aircraft carriers in a matter of minutes! China's military capability has increased by leaps and bounds
Joshua Wong has shown that HK youths can own properties. He is barely out of university and he is a proud owner of 2 properties. The key is to be a sell out.
What Mr Loh views had been largely correct, but what is more learning foreign lingo is important for any individuals wants to upgrade to better themselves in jobs, biz. This talk has been very interesting in geopolitics. The west hegemony
The ancient coloniser created a lot of poisonous atmosphere and removed their wealth in Hong Kong before leaving definitely by making it difficult with different ties in the final agreement with China.
By now, everyone should know that the West built their countries through plundering, and stealing from their colonies , and engaging in slave and indentured labor trades. Of course, the steam engine gave them an edge in the first industrial revolution. In short, the western dominance in the last 200-300 years is an aberration, and it's coming to an end. The West can't accept the reality and hence has started a negative narrative campaign to blackmail and contain China. Even the host used the word "authoritarian" to paint the superiority of democracy. Stupid, it is all about good and bad governance, it has nothing to do with the systems of the government.
My first time watching this channel. Very interesting how the host has a huge Western bias and is oblivious to the West's hateful racism that is inherent in everything it reports and purports in the news and "history". I hope this is not indicative of all SE Asians. I say this as someone HK born and lived in NYC for nearly all my life.
I agree with you. He does not even has any idea of what is happening in Hong Kong or Xinjiang or even the history of Tibet. He is so brainwashed by the five eyes. The interviewee is not much better despite claiming that he has been in China for umpteen years. What disappointing discussions,
An excellent interview that gave us the insight into the future of ASEAN and China. I have also worked in many cities of China from 2000 until the pandemic in 2020. Being a Malaysian Chinese I share a lot in common with your experience albeit in another field.
Singapore look down on Malaysia,l said , we are successful bcos Malay Muslims not like white man land grab and commit unspeakable atrocities against other.
1. The MBA students taking their professor out to pump him for advice about their own businesses is so typically Chinese. Hell of a lot cheaper than getting similar advice from a consultant 2. Following the Xinhai Revolution against the Qing dynasty in 1912, Qing soldiers were disarmed and escorted out of the Tibet Area (Ü-Tsang). The region subsequently declared its independence in 1913, although this was not recognised by the subsequent Chinese Republican government. Later, Lhasa took control of the western part of Xikang. The region maintained its autonomy until 1951 when, following the Battle of Chamdo, Tibet was occupied and annexed by the People's Republic of China. - Source: Wikipedia 3. The US foreign policy is to maintain its global preeminence and using any means to maintain it is permissible so Loh Wei Hoong is not wrong in saying that the US is trying to weaken China as it is quite clear from US economic and military policies. 4. China is historically not a geographically expansionist country other than on its own borders and currently relies on soft power to expand its influence. Loh Wei Hong is not wrong about the military encirclement of China by US military bases that he alluded to in referring to the number of US military bases globally. 5. High Speed Rail - Not sure that delaying the implementation of HSR is a bad thing. Would not be too late if it can be implemented together with Thailand to complete the link from China to Singapore. At the very least, this would almost guarantee that there is sufficient passenger/cargo loads to recover its cost of construction and operation. Cannot agree more with Loh Wei Hoong's take that Asean's best strategy is to be neutral. Whether either of the 2 antagonists will continue to allow that remains to be seen.
The host knowledge of China is so low, he got a lot of leveling up to do. Currently only level 1, quite disappointing. An average reader here has higher level than that.
The key factor is China's excellent government. Especially after Mr XJP became leader. He went after corruption and poverty so hard, no country or leader in the world ever could emulate. Not even LKY. So give credit accordingly due to the CPC. No matter how hard working you are, if your top govt officials are makan rasuah everyday for 50-60 years, your success will be very limited.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Learned some facts too. Mr Loh can be over enthusiastic and dominates the conversation at times but he is clearly very knowledgeable. Wouldn't want to change anything. Thank you.
I am quite shock by the ignorance of the host. Maybe he acted it out deliberately to facilitate the conversion (I hope). But, won't blame him. He was echoing the Anglo-Saxon narrative. I definitely give credit to Loh Wei Hoong for giving a very good perspective.
Actually, the host is really a reflection of the bananas in Malaysia(Including me). My UEC friends studied the history of China, I only got to know more about it after visiting China. I was wondering where were all the old temples and historical sites. Then I went down the youtube rabbit hole to learn about the cultural revolution, and the beef between the Kuomintang and Communist party. All these are not covered in your local Malaysian history textbooks. Moreover, if you don't speak Mandarin, you're sorta opt out of the general discussions amongst the mainlanders. Your perspective will be skewed towards the West. It's not entirely your fault.
Mr interviewer do seriously widen and deepen your knowledge of history of China and truth of the presenr ongoing geopolitics of the 2 super powers today.
55:45 There was also the 'dynamic-COVID' phase, that most ppl skip over. The Chinese A4 paper riots were fomented by students at locations with US embassies. The XBB variant was simply too contagious for dynamic-COVID to work any longer 😷
The Chinese students were working with the Americans. They'd rather work with the Americans than support the Communist Party of China (CPC). Young people in China much prefer the American system to the CPC.
Hsu Chuang, pardon me for saying that you really need to read up on China's history, at least from the last 100 years of the Qing Dynasty (1636 - 1912).
Hi Sherrel you're 100pct correct. Wish I knew more about Chinese history and need to learn more. Will strive to do better! Thanks for your time listening though .
@@DoMoreTakeChargeofYourLife Your source of information are all from the west only. That's what I know from you points in this interview. Even you go to read china history, you may look for the biased source of china history from the west. My advice to you is go look for china source of information. Learn chinese language to get the first hand (non-translated) information. You will find out that there are lots of difference between source from china and source from the west, one example is the korean war history which the west try to avoid talking about it.
@@DoMoreTakeChargeofYourLife @frankyalferado6093 is correct, all these intl neoliberals just parrot the US state dept PR line about "democracy/freedum". But take a look at US domestic policy itself, eg healthcare/finance, and everyone can see it's driven by money, hence a plutocracy NOT democracy. But nobody can admit this any more than underlings can admit 2+2=4 when the boss says 2+2=22.
HK ppl want to adopt western liberalism n capitalism way of thinking n life. But then those western ways got its huge downside, one of it is increasing wealth inequality. Just look at rate of homelessness in California, one of richest state in US, whose just one state GDP alone is larger than entire UK, the second largest Europe economy after Germany. So HK ppl wants western liberal values,but then dont want to be homeless. It makes no sense. They should wisen up about what they want and study what it really is, before choosing.
Uncle Loh too optimistic on china future and blameless on others not trusting China based on geopolitical issues but was right that malaysia should stay neutral. Bottom line is malaysian chinese cannot get china citizenship unless you are Elon Musk and the issue of Hukou system.And you dont want your children to grow up there and enter the competition with so many people. Regardless Uncle Loh is a winner in China and has a degree from Canada. Well done.
Looks like the host is quite uneducated about the histories of Tibet, Nepal, Xinjiang or Taiwan. What he tried to put forward about those Chinese provinces reflect his ignorance if not bias.
his only source of info and news is from the western media, and of course all tese media is anti-China. Not only do they twist the facts, tey actually lie and the general public believes them not knowing they are lied to.
I’m impressed with this conversation. Let me add an opinion about the population issue. It’s the preoccupation of living well without any responsibility and anxiety of maintaining a family. New opportunities to travel and vacation are the first priority of the new generation.
Actually studies have shown that the key contributor to declining births or replacement ratio is firstly migration to cities which drives up costs of living in cities. Also if these migrants had remained farmers without the option of living and working in factories in cities then they will be producing like rabbit# because they will need more hands to work the land to increase production
What's funny is everyone knows what the "pivot to Asia" means (ie. where they pivoting from? what's happened there in last couple decades? lol), but can't admit it because they're afraid of the blowback from the American empire. So that's why you have these discussions dancing around the issue.
What's even funnier is ZoG does not really care about Malaysia ( only in reference to their main darling Singapore), so we can basically say what we want on this, and they missed their chance to really make a mark.
People in ASEAN tends to underestimate the importance of ASEAN, ASEAN is overtaking EU as the biggest trading partner with China & ASEAN GDP growth is higher than EU & US since 2010 & projected to be so for a long time forward
We Malaysians have a clear advantage being multi-lingual as described by Wei Hoong. I hope our local politicians do not destroy this advantage for their personal political gains and popularity.
For sure. Just Hope Malaysian leaders will have the proper mindsets of bringing people of all races together for the common goals of prosperity, harmony and peace.
The countries whom have managed to make unimaginable progress in the recent past and ongoing present and merging the present with the future are able to do that because they are heart bent on doing so with a religious fervour without being religious.
The host should have more indepth on the subject ie.china he is going to discuss with the guest. Very obvious his knowledge of China's history is as good as many westerners & most of the information about china he got it from the western media which is bias.
As a 4th gen Hakka-Indonesian, I can’t be happier to find out that 阿叔 Loh is also a fellow Hakka. His depiction of our ancestral hometown, Meizhou is accurate too. I last visited it on mid 2008 and my ancestral home did already come with a toilet inside. Sadly, it has to be demolished to make way for highway construction in 2012-2013. Guess what.. the compensation amount is rather huge that it’s enough for my 大伯 (Dad’s older brother) to purchase an apartment unit in Shenzhen 😊. His story pretty much matches what I’ve seen happened to my relatives back there. Some sidenote though, he didn’t fully describe how awfully poor Meizhou looks in late 70s. My late grandparents and parents were directly witnessing the sorry state of their relatives there during that period. Eating rice is seen as luxury that it’s best to eat it as a congee (bubur). My grandpa had to remit money back to support his Mom there. Modern electronics like fridge / tv had to be purchased in HK and transported there. That’s how dire it was! But hey.. time has changed. Meizhou now has its own high speed train service. Its public toilets will readily humiliate any toilets in typical Indonesian / Malaysian kampungs 😂.
Yes.. Is never wrong to learn another language or languages. Malaysia parents shld take this unique n advantage system we had in Msia. Hope n wish the current govt won't abolish it as it has always been a play card by the extreme opposition to shut it down!!
1) I don't agree with Mr Loh that Russia's intention was to conquer Ukraine in 2022. He is wrong. Russia only wanted Ukn to be a neutral country. Even now Putin does not which to destroy Ukn because he still wishes to have Ukn as a stable neighbor, but a NEUTRAL one (not joining NATO). 2) Wrong to say China is too weak to take over Taiwan militarily. Beijing could easily flatten Taiwan with its huge, modern weapons and the USA can't do anything about it. Just look at the Korean and the Vietnam wars: the US was defeated even with far superior arms. And now China has the newest and the largest navy in the world. China possesses the unstoppable hypersonic missiles which can sink all enemy aircraft carriers, while the USA does not.
the host said that he is trying to be neutral, but he is such a Western stooge. Not only ignorant of history but just parroting Western media propaganda without doing his own research.
Disappointed to say, the interviewer did not have the right knowledge, but maybe this is the situation in many many in the world, due to being unconsciously brainwashed.
Hi there , I am a Malaysian living in Hong Kong for almost 15 years. During the social unrest 2019, I witness the whole drama with my kids. I am also Chinese educated in a Chinese school in Malaysia, growing up with western ideas and values. I would like to make some comments on this channel, your guest Loh Wei Hoong and the host. Mr. Loh is very really very insightful , experienced to share his experience. We had similar Chinese experiences when we lived in Shanghai and Shenzen before moved to Hong Kong. Hong Kong issue is a complicated eco-social issue, the main stream media made it as if it is an ideology challenge to Hong Kong free democratic practise. It is not as simple as being commented by the host. I disagreed with the host to label Mr. Loh as Pro-China. Mr. Loh was just describing the changes of China over the years and the growth he witnessed. Hope that the host be careful with his comments. I strongly suggest the host prepare his homework before present his questions to the host, even his comments. Example of Nepal is an independent country, not China province, Xinjiang and Tibet are autonomous regions. He lacks understanding and misconception of Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and world affairs knowledge to make comments. Not against any personal attack but rather hoping the host do his homework, he has a lot to read up, understand the geo politics before conduct any such type of talks. When we learn through conversation like this, it is not to put down others, but rather to respect and learn. One last point I would like to say is that the host likes to mention"You do have children in China", to me is more like a grammatically phrase to ask such question. The more polite way should be " Your children grow up in China" . Just like my experience, my kids are born in Malaysia, grow up in China and Hong Kong (which Hong Kong is part of China!), they are not made in China so it is NOT "I have children in China" ! Thanks you.
Agree with your comments on the host.... he should stop interrupting the guest with his "brain-washed" Western comments on China. LISTEN MORE and talk less... let the guest finish what he has to say, rather than interjecting him with Western bias thoughts. After all, the guest has been there, living there, visiting there. The purpose of the interview is anyway, to get the views of the guest on HIS experiences, NOT the host's Western perception of China.
You did not mention HK was crawling with Western agents doing what they themselves know. They took advantage of the social-economic problems in Hong Kong. Those who stirrup trouble in HK and had to run away to the West are regretting it. Most of them carry adapt or of marketable value, except in HK. They can only speak Cantonese. Even Uni grads their English is not easy to understand.
The current leaders of Asean countries (except Philippines) are very clear that they have to stay together and do not choose sides. So far, even when the government changes, they still stick together. However, US has too much influence on Philippines. Right now there is a concern about Thailand's new government. The seems to be an invisible hand in the background.
When Mr. Khoo started the context about China "miracle" economic performance, this prompts to ask this question: What will Malaysia be like if it is ran by the Malaysian Chinese Politicians? Will Malaysian economic performance be in par with Singapore and also less impressive when compared to China's economic? BTW this is an informative interview you got the right guest and asks the right questions. There should really be more viewers particular those outside Malaysia like me.
Malaysia is not only hindered by racial economic issues but also by Islamic religious extremism, just like the countries in the Middle East, parts of Africa and also Xinjiang. Fortunately for Xinjiang, China did an excellent job of getting rid of the extremism there through re-education, vocational training and job placements... as a result Xinjiang's economy grew and people prospered. Hope Malaysia gets rid of its racialist policies and religious extremism.
@@jameskoh2945 when political and/or religious IDEALOGY becomes dominant in ANY country, the citizens lives will take backward step and in many cases the citizens suffer. Just look at the world over the last 50 or more years.
Gosh what a huge dilemma for ASEAN. The most recent example is Sri Lanka. In fairness, the IMF started the ball rolling. Cny was a great unmatched understudy. They are far more artful in the implosion of countries of course with the help of the Rajapaksa and other long time government officials. The West aided the war mongering and death of estimates of 120,000 innocent civilians along with many others participating in the bombing and devastation of northern Sri Lanka's Tamil Eelam. It led the path for cny to lend money and rebuild at a horrendous cost as we know, now. It led to the loss of Hambantota to foreign hands to become India's nightmare in the Indian Ocean. Now, Maldives is attempting a similar implosion. India was the only country that took a humanitarian approach to Sri Lanka when she imploded with a civil war, most recently. The difficulty for ASEAN is that the path to money and development is not benign. It is full of potholes, land and sea mines ready to implode any country in short order. CNY IS NOT OFFERING FREE MONEY AND DEVELOPMENT USING THEIR LABOUR FORCE WITH NO ATTACHMENTS MUCH LIKE THE TURKISH ICE CREAM MAN. THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY FOR REACHING FOR EASY MONEY. THE SUBTLE LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY IS LOOMING ALL OVER ASEAN. The early emigres of the motherland have been very industrious indeed but they seem to have forgotten why they were immigrants to ASEAN. Certainly, the blending with Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and now Laos and Cambodia is amazing, remaining ethnically Chinese with some mixing but retaining proudly their origins, in spite of their early expulsions. In Malaysia, the different ethnic groups have been maintained as separate, holding their individual identities although young Malaysians see past the religious separations by politicians and mingle. Of course, the British Empire did no one any favours in China, ASEAN or India! So, the struggle has been hard and incredulously, how all of Asia has managed remarkable success, progress with her combined sheer determination as peoples of un-phased resourcefulness and survival. AND NOW, WE ARE TRULY AT A CROSSROADS. WE WANT CONTINUED SUCCESS BUT AT WHAT COST? IS THERE ANOTHER HEGEMON LOOMING? LIVE AND LET LIVE IS NOT A CNY IDEAL. The speaker is right about the industriousness of cny but they also paid a price for the control they endure. Most overseas born cny have no experience with living under the governance of the motherland. They have lived free under different systems and prospered marvellously and admirably. Would anyone of them give up their freedom for making more money under any other system which is a great looming possibility and threat? Examples HK, Tibet, East Turkestan, Macau, Manchuria, Inner Mongolia and soon Taiwan. If we all keep referring to early history then most of ASEAN was an Indian Kingdom! THERE IS AN INNER ASEAN BALANCE AND A HIGHER EXISTENTIAL SPIRITUAL GOAL. THAT IS WHERE INDIA COMES IN. WE NEED THAT BALANCE IN ASEAN, ALL OF WHOM ARE FORMER HINDU AND BUDDHIST KINGDOMS, WHO UNDERSTAND A HIGHER PURPOSE. PERHAPS WE ARE HERE TO TEACH BOTH EAST AND WEST THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE ON EARTH AND HOW FRAGILE IT IS TO FIGHT UNNECESSARY WARS. ASIANS ARE FAR TOO DISCERNING FOR THAT. DECEITFUL DIPLOMACY WON'T WORK EITHER. INDIA AND ASEAN ARE SAVVY TO THAT! SAYING ONE THING AND DOING SOMETHING ELSE UNDERHANDEDLY WILL BE ASININE. WE NEED REAL TOUGH NEGOTIATORS FOR PEACE IN THE ASEAN SEA AND LAND MASS, NOT ACQUIESCES WITH SECRET HANDSHAKES BY A FEW ELITE MOVERS AND SHAKERS, LOBBYISTS OR MANEUVERABLE TEMPORARY POLITICIANS WHO EXIT THE STAGE WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. CNY MONEY IS NOT FREE MONEY. ASEAN BETTER HAVE HER HEAD SCREWED ON IN THE ARTFUL NEGOTIATIONS THAT ARE NECESSARY NOW. ONLY EXTREME CAUTION AND AWARENESS OF WHAT FREE MONEY DOES, WILL ASEAN MAINTAIN HER INDEPENDENT POWER, WITHOUT ATTACHMENTS TO THEIR HARD WON SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORY. THAT IS WHAT THE PHILIPPINES IS FACED WITH, NOW. YOU HAVE TO WATCH AND OBSERVE THE ACTIONS IN THE ASEAN SEA BESIDES HEARING THE WORDS OF MONETARY HELP FROM ANY SIDE! In conclusion, would summit ASEAN needs help and guidance moving forward BUT NOT FOR A LOSS OF HER TERRITORIES!
Just keep Yankee politics away from ASEAN shore and all will be good. American culture and people are great but the political class are a bunch of neocons, corrupt individuals so look at actions and American domestic reality and not sweet words of lies.
Talking about US exerting influence over Malaysia, concern came to mind on recent REE issues in Kedah. Known as critical material for battery in EV, REE pose important role for the future economic, and Kedah's REE though already have agreement mining/processing company from China from several years back, now are attacked all site from PMX parties which are known to be funded by US. Hopefully this is just my paranoia speaking, really hate Malaysia to be another ground for proxy war between these two giants.
Zhang Weiwei, Deng Xiaoping's former interpreter, responded to question, saying that Taiwan may not have next election. He added China speeds up unification agenda, and "peaceful" unification phrase being removed from National meeting draft.
Appreciate raising awareness. I like this speaker very much! Subscribed👍🏾 Surprised no discussion on the BRICS currency being planned that China is a part of too. 36:32 I think differently about what Russia is doing based on what they said publicly, that's what they're doing. Its not about winners because they are fighting Ukrainians who are also some of their families and relatives. I believe Chinese can understand this phenomenon from history too. I learned alot🙌🏽
The original intentions of ASEAN is to establish a zone of peace freedom and neutrality. How many of the present ASEAN leaders, still has this mentality?
The Philippines has yielded to the US pressure and has opened its military bases to the American. There is no more neutrality from the Philippines side.
Singapore's wealth depends substantially from its businesses in China, you've the guts to regard China as an "autocratic warmonger"? That's another reason why China ship its goods for the Africa and West using the new Kuantan-Melaka route.
Countries especially smaller countries must have the guts to defend their interest and protect themselves against threats just like Ukraine. Trade , investments and economy are important to any country. But it cannot be a trade off when your country is facing an existential threat. Israel PM once said that he will destroy Palestine and Iran because these countries want to destroy Israel and drive the Jews out of Middle East. So to answer your question Singapore MUST have the guts to stand up to any threat especially because it is a small country.
Somewhat disagreed, Deng's strategy did not learn from SG. SG people claim and self-credited, but it was a shame. Deng traveled around and wants to open the world market. Join WTO was the best decision. His vision was first to make Chenzen better than HK. Second is that China's navy is the world's strongest and largest. Taking Taiwan back is so easily done. But war is not in Xi's plan. According to the U.S. Department of Defense’s 2020 annual report to Congress on Chinese military power, the People’s Republic of China has the largest navy in the world, with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines including over 130 major surface combatants. Mr. Hoong is right about VN's hard work but also big corruption in and out of the government. VN's internal problems is an old mindset. It is not a Communist like China.
US can offer countries with military weapons but at a cost. Hopefully Malaysia politics is stable and not disrupt by “so call politicians" with their own agendas
Both host and guest not good enough. Host didnt not read enough ...how to be a host? Dont like his tone. Western parrot. Guest - tried his best but not good enough as an expert.
Does that India is an obstacle to BRICS currency and de-dollarization? Does India, is an obstacle to de-dollarization and BRICS unity? Will India's participation hinder the BRICS' ability to cooperate? Since India has refuted the BRICS country’s new currency, potentially in response to pressure from the United States, that could cause the group to disband by the US playing on the long-standing conflict between India and China. Many scholars argue that India has abandoned the Global South, which is merely a breach of its pledges to the BRICS. The sound argument is that India cannot influence the coherence of the BRICS group significantly, no matter how hard US-led West wishes or pushes India. Since many countries are interested in and so many prospective new members join BRICS, the group will likely scale its de-dollarization agenda, and plausible that BRICS will expand its de-dollarization objectives. Using India and China's protracted rivalry to its advantage, the United States is hoping it might be able to succeed, causing the BRICS to fail. This will have far-reaching consequences for the cohesion of the BRICS and, thus, the group's future. The United States takes advantage of the protracted dispute between China and India by proposing technology transfers in exchange for India's potential interference in BRICS-related initiatives. The United States also aims to contain China to maintain its hegemonic dominance. The United States is betting on the probability and peril of Indian BRICS sabotage. Due to their long-standing antagonism with China, it would be advantageous for the West, led by the United States, to exploit and manipulate their geopolitical advantage over the BRICS nations. The BRICS nations are dedicated to genuine collaboration and sovereign equality. The BRICS are advancing multilateral and egalitarian international relations, and their practice and expansion of these relations demonstrate their repudiation of the current flawed international order and distribution of power. Even if it takes longer than anticipated, this action will significantly contribute to forming a new global order. The appearance of the BRICS nations was a necessity. These nations are endeavoring to establish a mutually beneficial, independent relationship founded on parity. As a result of the unstoppable trend and the shared objective, the cooperation and cohesion of the BRICS nations have reached unprecedented heights, contributing to the organization's increased allure. The geopolitical entity BRICS will have a significantly greater impact on the current state of international affairs. Consequently, the United States-backed global order will confront new challenges. The fact that each independent BRICS nation can confidently assert that it is on par with every other member demonstrates that the BRICS are not governed by or used as a tool by a single government. This is one of the reasons why the United States finds the BRICS nations so compelling. Even if the United States is merely interested in joining BRICS, as other organization members have stated, it may be permitted. The United States could join BRICS if it legitimately desires it.
It’s good to have a chanel abt China. That’s right many people don’t know China well, even your good self Chuang. At most I think you know abt China superficially esp when you attempted to describe people in Vietnam and China. But never mind at least you try to bring awareness of China to a wider audience. Your guest Mr Loh tends to focus on his MBA teaching in China, albeit he can polish his English a bit more, and a great deal of negatives abt China in the early years esp. when Deng HP was shocked to see inside a Singapore HDB flat. Nevertheless his insight of China is nothing surprising
China unfortunately did not reform politically corresponding to its economical reform. Chinese has been educated well enough to judge right from wrong, so its the right time to give its people to choose it;s government.
Haven't you seen the Dalai lama said that Tibet is part of the People's Republic of China and Tibet is not seeking independence from China. Try to Google. I just saw it recently in youtube.
Both host and guest not good enough. Host didnt not read enough ...how to be a host? Dont like his tone. Western parrot. Guest - tried his best but not good enough as an expert. Nevertheless, good for those (many) who are totally not abreast w chinese history and situation. Of course, wai hoong's sentiments like me and many if my friends ... Wai hoong is however knowledgeable, more so than than the average msian (english educated)
China had the opportunity to do it differently from colonialists but just fell short . Still has chance to correct its way and create an Asian renaissance
Wake up Malaysians. It pays to be competent In BM, Chinesemandarin, and English. Be left behind if you are stubborn and stick to your own language. The ball ia in your court. Ne wise.
I envisage that from year 2050, our decreasing human population problem would be solved by replacing AI human robots. Can you imaging AI robots designing another generation of robots and goes on and on?
You are Malaysia yet you are proud Chinese students you need to change the student of Malaysia. That tells you you are inspiring educator. you need to make a proud new age Chinese civilization culture when you can teach students outside China
What about 9 dashed lines? To surrender sovereignty of ASEAN nations & kowtow to a dictatorial state. To decouple or de-risking with a country without safeguard on human rights is the only way forward. To re-establish supply chains in SEA or Eastern Europe/South America with the help of Japanese/Korean/Korean industrial powerhouses. No human rights no trade.
@@giant108 Please elaborate human rights? Taking care and poverty alleviation of its people not human rights? What about the constant hate by Malaysian politicians against its minorities, human rights? Chinese, minorities hate human rights?How many ethnic groups in China? And they’re well respected and taken care of by the central government is not human rights? Be specific. Don’t use human rights like the Americans and allies pointing fingers to countries they don’t like while ignoring their records to others.
@buddha199115 who don't know those were Xi's political propaganda. Half the population making less then 1000RMB , the inequality is so crazy. Those investment project on belt & Road mega construction project had poor quality and underutilised to a point that it is basically useless not to mention the debt to finance those project is crazy.
The prof may be a smart man but he seem not to know about the hidden hands in Arab Spring and HK. Also claimed that foreign soldiers were not sent into the Ukraine war but many died there?
The only thing i disagree with this guy is Russia is winning the war, the thing is Russia does not want to totally destroy ukraine, cuz Russia has NO intention to annex ukraine anyway.
I as a Malaysian Indian I fully support China in raising up . Asia is coming great and will shine and we should not look to the west for anything. However, not only China is raising but India and South Korea, Japan and many other Asian countries too. China should never be aggressive and try to control weaker countries and claim that it was part of ancient China. Can the British claim any part of the countries they once control? Or can the Javanese claim other countries which they ruled as Majapahid Empire? China is already huge but it wants to take over Tibet a different country, part of Indian territories in Arunachala and Kashmir. Be realistic and not be blinded by your love and attachment to China bring a Chinese. Be peaceful and help other countries in the Asia way not the European exploiting way. Thank you
The current China does not claim any territorial that Qing Dynasty, the latest China before the Current One, did not claim, not some antient land China controlled once. This is the basic of a Country's Sovereignty. If China could not claim a land Qing had, then no current Country can claim any land they current have. Qing Dynasty/China was founded on 1636.
@@qingzhou9983 You are wrong to quote some old Chinese dynasty. Ancient China also controlled the Vietnamese, but they fought hard to free themselves from Chinese control. Though today you can still see the Chinese influence on their culture. Can you say that all yellow-skinned people are Chinese? The Thai people, Koreans, and Japanese have some similar looks to the Chinese, but they will never say that they are Chinese. They are proud of their race. Chinese Communist Party is interested to expand its territories and force others to adopt and adapt to the Chinese culture. It's going on in Tibet and the Northwest Territories of Sinkiang with the Turk's descendants. They are certainly not Chinese. The Chinese people are just the tool of the Communist Party government, and you cannot fool the world. I understand your racial affiliation and love since you are Chinese. Be realistic and see the world with a balanced attitude. I am happy to see the rise of Asia and China with India together they can influence the world to make it a better world for all, not the way the West exploited Asia and Africa. Friend, please think carefully and not be blinded by your feelings. Venga. Thank you.
@@Venga44 I have no idea what are you talking about. Qing is the previous Chinese Government before ROC. And PRC defeated ROC and gained the right to Rule China. This is how legitimacy of a country measured, except the newly founded countries from Colonial Rule after WW II. So quoting Qing Dynasty's ruling areas is the Direct evidence for the Legitimacy of ROC's claim, hence the PRC's claim. What is your objection to this argument?
@@qingzhou9983 Every race wants to be free and independent to develop their own race and culture without another race dominating them, suppressing them or force their culture on to these weak minority races or country. You only think of your pride and your race, what about others? Do you sincerely thinlk that they want to be dominated and kill off their own culture, language or whatever. Be realistic and not be influenced by your believes only. RESPECT OTHER LIVES THEY TOO HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND DEVELOP IN ALL ASPECTS. THANK YOU. Enough said.
If you keep going back to history - 7000 years argument-then Tanah Melayu will be Red Dot and Japan and South Korea should be very afraid base on the legacy argument… if they go after Kashmir, Tibet and Taiwan , we are all in trouble
Fg guy's a Jew schill - China has more firepower than all Asia + USA put together and Taiwan is just 60 miles away. No need to start a war, it will simply re-occupy Taiwan.

There were no protest in the streets of HK protesting against unemployment, unfair treatment of employees, poor economy . All protests were political and human rights issue so how is HK an economic issue turned into a social issue?? Even if HK had an economic issue the people just have to crossed over the border to get a job in Shenzhen
Obviously, you did not understand what the lecturer is saying. He said that the housing situation was in a dire condition. The economy has been faltering. This led to a lot of unhappiness and anger. Yes, the protest started due to some laws being introduced in HK. What the lecturer and some people are alluding to is that the protests were manipulated by the US and western agencies. Some people said it is common that the US manipulated genuine grievances on some social issues into protests against the government. Nury Vittachi, a well known journalist wrote a book on the protests called "The other side of The Story : A Secret War in Hong Kong". In the book, he detailed how the protests were manipulated and funded by US agencies like the NED. For you to say that an economic issue can easily be solved by just crossing the border to work in Shenzhen is an indication of a simple-minded person who doesn't know about reality. If the HK issue is so simple, why doesn't all Malaysians cross over to Singapore to work? Then, there won't be any complaint about the falling ringgit with its weak purchasing power.

To all of you who have left me comments to my conversation with Wei Hoong, thank you for taking the time to reach out and share your thoughts.
The power of discourse, whether filled with positivity, emotion, angst or vitriole, nonetheless reflects the diversity of thought in society.
So Thank You.
I am only a recent student of China, having visited just once, and as a result, I know very little of it and its history -- that much is abundantly clear from this video.
But I am Chinese, and extremely proud of my ancestry. My forefathers came to this country from Southern China many centuries ago. This, coupled with China's growing global importance and proximity to us in ASEAN, prompts the conversations I have and will continue to do so, with folks like Wei Hoong.
China, like all other nations, is extremely complex and colourful, the sum total of many millions of kinds of people and backgrounds. Hence, all viewpoints, from all statures, matter.
So I will continue to seek out people like Wei Hoong who have spent time there working and living, studying her past and present, and are willing to talk, so that everyone may hopefully benefit and learn.
As for me -- apologies are in order. I should know more about my ancestral homeland. I vow to continue to study her and to better understand, through the power of conversation and the consumption of the abundance of media available, the many layers of complexity of this huge nation from which my forefathers emanated.
Once again, thank you all for your comments. Do keep them coming.
My only plea is to keep your thoughts civil and constructive, which are the anchoring Ethos' of this channel.
Yours,
Chuang
I used to hold strong view against China due to media portrayal and ignorance. Ever since my first visit to China in 2018, I started to learn about her, everything including history. Like Wei Hong, I'm Chinese-ed and currently working in China. I'm also a Straits Chinese with ancestry dating back to Ko Chow (Gaozhou) and Palembang.
I agree with Wei Hong that our biggest strength lies in our ability in being highly/fully conversant in Sinic, Nusantarian and Western civilisations. Not just the languages but also its knowledge systems and ways of life.
Keeping an open mind is important especially in this era, and you have demonstrated in this case, well done! Knowing what we don’t know and recognizing that is a big leap forward 👍👍👍
I don’t understand why he brought up Tibet, Xinjiang? Obviously either he never been to China those regions or his mindset already influenced by western media. Obviously he doesn’t believe what so many foreigners living in China or travelled those regions and debunked those accusations. As any overseas Chinese, hk protesters were violent and china military was not even involved unliked Americans and to think China was heavy handed towards hk is incorrect. Hk is still free to take care of its business.
As a host, it's your responsibility to learn more about China to be able to craft more nuanced and critical questions about China. Or to reveal such ignorance. At least you need to have a general ideas of different perspectives.
Nevertheless, your guess is really awesome with his knowledge that decisively cut across Western propaganda and false narrative.
Still, your humility and eagerness to learn is commendable. You have so many independent youtubers to choose from: Australian Jerry Grey with his Jerry's take on China; American Cyrus Janssen, Andy Boreham from NZ, and for more scholarly treatment, Belgian Pascal Coppens.
An excellent Chinese perspective I would highly recommend is Carl Zha's historical account of China when interviewed by American Brian Berletics in his New Atlas youtube:
ruclips.net/video/ghdKUaxyByY/видео.html
That perspective explains why China acts and behaves the way it does now.
Although you are starting to show doubt, you still give too much credit to western mainstream media. The US has a long history of inventing atrocities in “enemy states” so they can instigate regime change, coups and military intervention for “humanitarian reasons”. Recommend the book “Atrocity Fabrication and Its Consequences” by University of London scholar A B Abrams. The book has some great chapters on Xinjiang, Tibet, Tiananmen in addition to the well known WMDs in Iraq, chemical weapons in Syria etc.
I am Singaporean. Wei Hoong is right. I wish Singapore never gave up Mandarin medium education which Malaysia still has. That is Msia's edge. Wei Hoong knows his Chinese history too.

My daughter was educated in Kuen Cheng. In her Form 2 she was given a ASEAN Scholarship but I told her not to take it as it will delay her higher education. She continued with her UEC did her medical degree in Calgary, her Residency in U of Manitoba and Fellowship in MD Anderson. She became a director of one of the medical corporations in Canada. Thus my suggestion was not wrong. The UEC is highly recognised overseas. Many of Malaysian Chinese students are in TsingHua University in China. Prof Loh is correct about this being a Malaysian advantage/ something only Malaysia has.
yes i agree too
I am not sure that China is so ready to take in foreigners today to work in their local medical hospitals with 20% unemployed local graduates and have them rise up the ranks while working in China?
Only thing is hard migrate to China.
I thoroughly enjoying everything Prof Loh covered. I’ve learned some much from this conversation with him. I hope he returns for a Part 2 on China. 👍
Ha ha not sure if the host will have him back. I thought that the discussions were pretty shallow and one sided with poor examples like HK declining over the past 20 years or so. Not sure if this is factually correct. I thought HK declined was only in the last few years because of Covid , CCP National Security and US trade sanctions? Even if it were true HK was handed over to CCP in 1997 so whose fault was it for the decline??
Tibet and XINJIANG are so beautiful and developed. The people there are so happy and their lives have improved by leaps and bounds. Go there and see for yourself brother. I had visited both.
Ya, before Tibet became part of China it was 90% a slave country.
Today the GDP of Tibet is around US8K vs US1800 in India.
Xinjiang a dirt poor area now has a GDP per capita of US12K with modern buildings, roads , bridges etc
It is going to be the "Singapore" of BRI
He just refuse to even report on the good of China
The world is divided & much confused bcos the U.S. & UK & white imperialists hv always assumed they are more superior & smarter than Asians & coloured ppl!!! However, Asian civilization is much2 earlier than the white!!!
Look at the present latest scenario, China is @ the very3 top with India next! The U.S. & UK are in pale filthy beige with homelessness, drugsters, social unrest & unemployment & uncontrollable gun violence!!!
You are so right. Never trust or believe the utter lies and toxic propaganda being spun by Western media, especially the US.
I think China's navy hv become strong enough to take Taiwan by force but it is not China policy to do so.
He did not update himself on the china current military advancement because china army grow too fast beyond his update.
In 2020, China tests fire missiles and successfully hit a moving target in the South China Seas. With the new hypersonic missiles, they can sink aircraft carriers in a matter of minutes!
China's military capability has increased by leaps and bounds

Why waste money fighting a war....cheaper buying Taiwanese politicians, Military Higher ups...takes a longer time....but China has patience.
Agree. You can see that US knows as they are very cautious when crossing the Taiwan Straits.
The guest illustrates the importance of history because at times one can ponder upon the future if one is willing to refer to history.

What Mr Loh views had been largely correct, but what is more learning foreign lingo is important for any individuals wants to upgrade to better themselves in jobs, biz. This talk has been very interesting in geopolitics. The west hegemony
The ancient coloniser created a lot of poisonous atmosphere and removed their wealth in Hong Kong before leaving definitely by making it difficult with different ties in the final agreement with China.
By now, everyone should know that the West built their countries through plundering, and stealing from their colonies , and engaging in slave and indentured labor trades. Of course, the steam engine gave them an edge in the first industrial revolution.
In short, the western dominance in the last 200-300 years is an aberration, and it's coming to an end. The West can't accept the reality and hence has started a negative narrative campaign to blackmail and contain China. Even the host used the word "authoritarian" to paint the superiority of democracy. Stupid, it is all about good and bad governance, it has nothing to do with the systems of the government.
Excellent. Much appreciated Wei Hoong your views
My first time watching this channel. Very interesting how the host has a huge Western bias and is oblivious to the West's hateful racism that is inherent in everything it reports and purports in the news and "history". I hope this is not indicative of all SE Asians. I say this as someone HK born and lived in NYC for nearly all my life.
I agree with you. He does not even has any idea of what is happening in Hong Kong or Xinjiang or even the history of Tibet. He is so brainwashed by the five eyes. The interviewee is not much better despite claiming that he has been in China for umpteen years. What disappointing discussions,
As long as someone can read English, many will parrot Western media's propaganda.
That's bad ....such inability to know about western bias, how to be a fair & good host
Filipinos to teach english ...omg
Dont like the host's tone
An excellent interview that gave us the insight into the future of ASEAN and China. I have also worked in many cities of China from 2000 until the pandemic in 2020. Being a Malaysian Chinese I share a lot in common with your experience albeit in another field.
Singapore look down on Malaysia,l said , we are successful bcos Malay Muslims not like white man land grab and commit unspeakable atrocities against other.
But sadly you can't get china citizenship with complication of hukou system . India gov been more forgiving with overseas Indian passport
1. The MBA students taking their professor out to pump him for advice about their own businesses is so typically Chinese. Hell of a lot cheaper than getting similar advice from a consultant
2. Following the Xinhai Revolution against the Qing dynasty in 1912, Qing soldiers were disarmed and escorted out of the Tibet Area (Ü-Tsang). The region subsequently declared its independence in 1913, although this was not recognised by the subsequent Chinese Republican government. Later, Lhasa took control of the western part of Xikang. The region maintained its autonomy until 1951 when, following the Battle of Chamdo, Tibet was occupied and annexed by the People's Republic of China. - Source: Wikipedia
3. The US foreign policy is to maintain its global preeminence and using any means to maintain it is permissible so Loh Wei Hoong is not wrong in saying that the US is trying to weaken China as it is quite clear from US economic and military policies.
4. China is historically not a geographically expansionist country other than on its own borders and currently relies on soft power to expand its influence. Loh Wei Hong is not wrong about the military encirclement of China by US military bases that he alluded to in referring to the number of US military bases globally.
5. High Speed Rail - Not sure that delaying the implementation of HSR is a bad thing. Would not be too late if it can be implemented together with Thailand to complete the link from China to Singapore. At the very least, this would almost guarantee that there is sufficient passenger/cargo loads to recover its cost of construction and operation.
Cannot agree more with Loh Wei Hoong's take that Asean's best strategy is to be neutral. Whether either of the 2 antagonists will continue to allow that remains to be seen.
The host knowledge of China is so low, he got a lot of leveling up to do. Currently only level 1, quite disappointing. An average reader here has higher level than that.
No, the host's understanding is not even level 1...
It's pre-school...
@@anjunadeep.8384 the host's mind is poisoned by Western propaganda. He needs to clean out those Western poisons fast before they kill him.
The key factor is China's excellent government. Especially after Mr XJP became leader. He went after corruption and poverty so hard, no country or leader in the world ever could emulate. Not even LKY. So give credit accordingly due to the CPC. No matter how hard working you are, if your top govt officials are makan rasuah everyday for 50-60 years, your success will be very limited.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Learned some facts too. Mr Loh can be over enthusiastic and dominates the conversation at times but he is clearly very knowledgeable. Wouldn't want to change anything. Thank you.
I am quite shock by the ignorance of the host. Maybe he acted it out deliberately to facilitate the conversion (I hope). But, won't blame him. He was echoing the Anglo-Saxon narrative. I definitely give credit to Loh Wei Hoong for giving a very good perspective.
Actually, the host is really a reflection of the bananas in Malaysia(Including me). My UEC friends studied the history of China, I only got to know more about it after visiting China. I was wondering where were all the old temples and historical sites. Then I went down the youtube rabbit hole to learn about the cultural revolution, and the beef between the Kuomintang and Communist party. All these are not covered in your local Malaysian history textbooks. Moreover, if you don't speak Mandarin, you're sorta opt out of the general discussions amongst the mainlanders. Your perspective will be skewed towards the West. It's not entirely your fault.
Salute Loh Wei Hoong, interesting
Mr interviewer do seriously widen and deepen your knowledge of history of China and truth of the presenr ongoing geopolitics of the 2 super powers today.
55:45 There was also the 'dynamic-COVID' phase, that most ppl skip over. The Chinese A4 paper riots were fomented by students at locations with US embassies. The XBB variant was simply too contagious for dynamic-COVID to work any longer 😷
The Chinese students were working with the Americans. They'd rather work with the Americans than support the Communist Party of China (CPC). Young people in China much prefer the American system to the CPC.
Hsu Chuang, pardon me for saying that you really need to read up on China's history, at least from the last 100 years of the Qing Dynasty (1636 - 1912).
Hi Sherrel you're 100pct correct. Wish I knew more about Chinese history and need to learn more.
Will strive to do better!
Thanks for your time listening though .

@@DoMoreTakeChargeofYourLife Your source of information are all from the west only. That's what I know from you points in this interview. Even you go to read china history, you may look for the biased source of china history from the west. My advice to you is go look for china source of information. Learn chinese language to get the first hand (non-translated) information. You will find out that there are lots of difference between source from china and source from the west, one example is the korean war history which the west try to avoid talking about it.

@frankyalferado6093 is correct, all these intl neoliberals just parrot the US state dept PR line about "democracy/freedum". But take a look at US domestic policy itself, eg healthcare/finance, and everyone can see it's driven by money, hence a plutocracy NOT democracy. But nobody can admit this any more than underlings can admit 2+2=4 when the boss says 2+2=22.
Fully agree with your comment. Must have been reading too much of WSJ, WP, CNN, BBC😂😂😂😂
Wonderful video! Thank you. We're very pround to be a Malaysian❤
HK ppl want to adopt western liberalism n capitalism way of thinking n life. But then those western ways got its huge downside, one of it is increasing wealth inequality. Just look at rate of homelessness in California, one of richest state in US, whose just one state GDP alone is larger than entire UK, the second largest Europe economy after Germany.
So HK ppl wants western liberal values,but then dont want to be homeless. It makes no sense. They should wisen up about what they want and study what it really is, before choosing.
An interesting view from the historical, present and future world.
Uncle Loh too optimistic on china future and blameless on others not trusting China based on geopolitical issues but was right that malaysia should stay neutral. Bottom line is malaysian chinese cannot get china citizenship unless you are Elon Musk and the issue of Hukou system.And you dont want your children to grow up there and enter the competition with so many people. Regardless Uncle Loh is a winner in China and has a degree from Canada. Well done.
Looks like the host is quite uneducated about the histories of Tibet, Nepal, Xinjiang or Taiwan.
What he tried to put forward about those Chinese provinces reflect his ignorance if not bias.
Western parrot ...how to be a host
his only source of info and news is from the western media, and of course all tese media is anti-China. Not only do they twist the facts, tey actually lie and the general public believes them not knowing they are lied to.
I’m impressed with this conversation. Let me add an opinion about the population issue. It’s the preoccupation of living well without any responsibility and anxiety of maintaining a family. New opportunities to travel and vacation are the first priority of the new generation.
Actually studies have shown that the key contributor to declining births or replacement ratio is firstly migration to cities which drives up costs of living in cities. Also if these migrants had remained farmers without the option of living and working in factories in cities then they will be producing like rabbit# because they will need more hands to work the land to increase production
What's funny is everyone knows what the "pivot to Asia" means (ie. where they pivoting from? what's happened there in last couple decades? lol), but can't admit it because they're afraid of the blowback from the American empire. So that's why you have these discussions dancing around the issue.
What's even funnier is ZoG does not really care about Malaysia ( only in reference to their main darling Singapore), so we can basically say what we want on this, and they missed their chance to really make a mark.
People in ASEAN tends to underestimate the importance of ASEAN, ASEAN is overtaking EU as the biggest trading partner with China & ASEAN GDP growth is higher than EU & US since 2010 & projected to be so for a long time forward
Not true, we do know the value of ASEAN especially now.
We Malaysians have a clear advantage being multi-lingual as described by Wei Hoong. I hope our local politicians do not destroy this advantage for their personal political gains and popularity.
My wishes are that Malaysia will progress and develop to be a strong, rich, progressive and benevolent. From Singapore
For sure. Just Hope Malaysian leaders will have the proper mindsets of bringing people of all races together for the common goals of prosperity, harmony and peace.
Wow...ditto... verbatim... thank you gentlemen for experiential info❤
Peace Prosperity Harmonious Living
The countries whom have managed to make unimaginable progress in the recent past and ongoing present and merging the present with the future are able to do that because they are heart bent on doing so with a religious fervour without being religious.
I of the best interview and very insightful of the current china. 👍
The host should have more indepth on the subject ie.china he is going to discuss with the guest. Very obvious his knowledge of China's history is as good as many westerners & most of the information about china he got it from the western media which is bias.
Excellent accuracy of content
Mr Loh Wei Hoong.
As a 4th gen Hakka-Indonesian, I can’t be happier to find out that 阿叔 Loh is also a fellow Hakka.
His depiction of our ancestral hometown, Meizhou is accurate too. I last visited it on mid 2008 and my ancestral home did already come with a toilet inside. Sadly, it has to be demolished to make way for highway construction in 2012-2013. Guess what.. the compensation amount is rather huge that it’s enough for my 大伯 (Dad’s older brother) to purchase an apartment unit in Shenzhen 😊.
His story pretty much matches what I’ve seen happened to my relatives back there.
Some sidenote though, he didn’t fully describe how awfully poor Meizhou looks in late 70s.
My late grandparents and parents were directly witnessing the sorry state of their relatives there during that period. Eating rice is seen as luxury that it’s best to eat it as a congee (bubur). My grandpa had to remit money back to support his Mom there. Modern electronics like fridge / tv had to be purchased in HK and transported there. That’s how dire it was!
But hey.. time has changed. Meizhou now has its own high speed train service. Its public toilets will readily humiliate any toilets in typical Indonesian / Malaysian kampungs 😂.
hi i am a Hakka Malaysian and been to Meizhou too
It's just a shame that China don't allow migration
Chuang , i need part 2 seriously !
I like your closing...learn the languages... mandarin, English & Bahasa....
We are very fortunate in malaysia as most of us are multilingual. Many People in the north of Malaysia can even speak Thai
Yes.. Is never wrong to learn another language or languages.
Malaysia parents shld take this unique n advantage system we had in Msia.
Hope n wish the current govt won't abolish it as it has always been a play card by the extreme opposition to shut it down!!
1) I don't agree with Mr Loh that Russia's intention was to conquer Ukraine in 2022. He is wrong. Russia only wanted Ukn to be a neutral country. Even now Putin does not which to destroy Ukn because he still wishes to have Ukn as a stable neighbor, but a NEUTRAL one (not joining NATO).
2) Wrong to say China is too weak to take over Taiwan militarily. Beijing could easily flatten Taiwan with its huge, modern weapons and the USA can't do anything about it. Just look at the Korean and the Vietnam wars: the US was defeated even with far superior arms. And now China has the newest and the largest navy in the world. China possesses the unstoppable hypersonic missiles which can sink all enemy aircraft carriers, while the USA does not.
the host said that he is trying to be neutral, but he is such a Western stooge. Not only ignorant of history but just parroting Western media propaganda without doing his own research.
Agree ....didnt not read/listen enough ...how to be a host? Dont like his tone
Disappointed to say, the interviewer did not have the right knowledge, but maybe this is the situation in many many in the world, due to being unconsciously brainwashed.
This very good talk
must b especially viewed by ALL Msians..more so by top Malay leaders
Very good explanation with so much information and facts.
Hi there , I am a Malaysian living in Hong Kong for almost 15 years. During the social unrest 2019, I witness the whole drama with my kids. I am also Chinese educated in a Chinese school in Malaysia, growing up with western ideas and values. I would like to make some comments on this channel, your guest Loh Wei Hoong and the host. Mr. Loh is very really very insightful , experienced to share his experience. We had similar Chinese experiences when we lived in Shanghai and Shenzen before moved to Hong Kong. Hong Kong issue is a complicated eco-social issue, the main stream media made it as if it is an ideology challenge to Hong Kong free democratic practise. It is not as simple as being commented by the host. I disagreed with the host to label Mr. Loh as Pro-China. Mr. Loh was just describing the changes of China over the years and the growth he witnessed. Hope that the host be careful with his comments. I strongly suggest the host prepare his homework before present his questions to the host, even his comments. Example of Nepal is an independent country, not China province, Xinjiang and Tibet are autonomous regions. He lacks understanding and misconception of Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and world affairs knowledge to make comments. Not against any personal attack but rather hoping the host do his homework, he has a lot to read up, understand the geo politics before conduct any such type of talks. When we learn through conversation like this, it is not to put down others, but rather to respect and learn. One last point I would like to say is that the host likes to mention"You do have children in China", to me is more like a grammatically phrase to ask such question. The more polite way should be " Your children grow up in China" . Just like my experience, my kids are born in Malaysia, grow up in China and Hong Kong (which Hong Kong is part of China!), they are not made in China so it is NOT "I have children in China" ! Thanks you.
Agree with your comments on the host.... he should stop interrupting the guest with his "brain-washed" Western comments on China. LISTEN MORE and talk less... let the guest finish what he has to say, rather than interjecting him with Western bias thoughts. After all, the guest has been there, living there, visiting there. The purpose of the interview is anyway, to get the views of the guest on HIS experiences, NOT the host's Western perception of China.
😄😄😄
You did not mention HK was crawling with Western agents doing what they themselves know. They took advantage of the social-economic problems in Hong Kong. Those who stirrup trouble in HK and had to run away to the West are regretting it. Most of them carry adapt or of marketable value, except in HK. They can only speak Cantonese. Even Uni grads their English is not easy to understand.
The current leaders of Asean countries (except Philippines) are very clear that they have to stay together and do not choose sides. So far, even when the government changes, they still stick together. However, US has too much influence on Philippines. Right now there is a concern about Thailand's new government. The seems to be an invisible hand in the background.
👍👍👍👏👏👏TQ ...long but very revealing !!!
When Mr. Khoo started the context about China "miracle" economic performance, this prompts to ask this question:
What will Malaysia be like if it is ran by the Malaysian Chinese Politicians? Will Malaysian economic performance be in par with Singapore and also less impressive when compared to China's economic?
BTW this is an informative interview you got the right guest and asks the right questions. There should really be more viewers particular those outside Malaysia like me.
A CHINESE MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER WUD DO AS WELL AS ANY PRIME MINISTER OF ANY ETHIC ORIGIN.
Malaysia is not only hindered by racial economic issues but also by Islamic religious extremism, just like the countries in the Middle East, parts of Africa and also Xinjiang. Fortunately for Xinjiang, China did an excellent job of getting rid of the extremism there through re-education, vocational training and job placements... as a result Xinjiang's economy grew and people prospered. Hope Malaysia gets rid of its racialist policies and religious extremism.
@@jameskoh2945 when political and/or religious IDEALOGY becomes dominant in ANY country, the citizens lives will take backward step and in many cases the citizens suffer. Just look at the world over the last 50 or more years.
Gosh what a huge dilemma for ASEAN. The most recent example is Sri Lanka. In fairness, the IMF started the ball rolling. Cny was a great unmatched understudy.
They are far more artful in the implosion of countries of course with the help of the Rajapaksa and other long time government officials. The West aided the war mongering and death of estimates of 120,000 innocent civilians along with many others participating in the bombing and devastation of northern Sri Lanka's Tamil Eelam. It led the path for cny to lend money and rebuild at a horrendous cost as we know, now. It led to the loss of Hambantota to foreign hands to become India's nightmare in the Indian Ocean. Now, Maldives is attempting a similar implosion. India was the only country that took a humanitarian approach to Sri Lanka when she imploded with a civil war, most recently.
The difficulty for ASEAN is that the path to money and development is not benign. It is full of potholes, land and sea mines ready to implode any country in short order.
CNY IS NOT OFFERING FREE MONEY AND DEVELOPMENT USING THEIR LABOUR FORCE WITH NO ATTACHMENTS MUCH LIKE THE TURKISH ICE CREAM MAN. THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY FOR REACHING FOR EASY MONEY. THE SUBTLE LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY IS LOOMING ALL OVER ASEAN.
The early emigres of the motherland have been very industrious indeed but they seem to have forgotten why they were immigrants to ASEAN. Certainly, the blending with Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and now Laos and Cambodia is amazing, remaining ethnically Chinese with some mixing but retaining proudly their origins, in spite of their early expulsions. In Malaysia, the different ethnic groups have been maintained as separate, holding their individual identities although young Malaysians see past the religious separations by politicians and mingle. Of course, the British Empire did no one any favours in China, ASEAN or India! So, the struggle has been hard and incredulously, how all of Asia has managed remarkable success, progress with her combined sheer determination as peoples of un-phased resourcefulness and survival.
AND NOW, WE ARE TRULY AT A CROSSROADS.
WE WANT CONTINUED SUCCESS BUT AT WHAT COST? IS THERE ANOTHER HEGEMON LOOMING? LIVE AND LET LIVE IS NOT A CNY IDEAL.
The speaker is right about the industriousness of cny but they also paid a price for the control they endure. Most overseas born cny have no experience with living under the governance of the motherland. They have lived free under different systems and prospered marvellously and admirably. Would anyone of them give up their freedom for making more money under any other system which is a great looming possibility and threat? Examples HK, Tibet, East Turkestan, Macau, Manchuria, Inner Mongolia and soon Taiwan. If we all keep referring to early history then most of ASEAN was an Indian Kingdom!
THERE IS AN INNER ASEAN BALANCE AND A HIGHER EXISTENTIAL SPIRITUAL GOAL. THAT IS WHERE INDIA COMES IN. WE NEED THAT BALANCE IN ASEAN, ALL OF WHOM ARE FORMER HINDU AND BUDDHIST KINGDOMS, WHO UNDERSTAND A HIGHER PURPOSE.
PERHAPS WE ARE HERE TO TEACH BOTH EAST AND WEST THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE ON EARTH AND HOW FRAGILE IT IS TO FIGHT UNNECESSARY WARS. ASIANS ARE FAR TOO DISCERNING FOR THAT.
DECEITFUL DIPLOMACY WON'T WORK EITHER. INDIA AND ASEAN ARE SAVVY TO THAT!
SAYING ONE THING AND DOING SOMETHING ELSE UNDERHANDEDLY WILL BE ASININE.
WE NEED REAL TOUGH NEGOTIATORS FOR PEACE IN THE ASEAN SEA AND LAND MASS, NOT ACQUIESCES WITH SECRET HANDSHAKES BY A FEW ELITE MOVERS AND SHAKERS, LOBBYISTS OR MANEUVERABLE TEMPORARY POLITICIANS WHO EXIT THE STAGE WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY.
CNY MONEY IS NOT FREE MONEY. ASEAN BETTER HAVE HER HEAD SCREWED ON IN THE ARTFUL NEGOTIATIONS THAT ARE NECESSARY NOW. ONLY EXTREME CAUTION AND AWARENESS OF WHAT FREE MONEY DOES, WILL ASEAN MAINTAIN HER INDEPENDENT POWER, WITHOUT ATTACHMENTS TO THEIR HARD WON SOVEREIGNTY AND TERRITORY. THAT IS WHAT THE PHILIPPINES IS FACED WITH, NOW.
YOU HAVE TO WATCH AND OBSERVE THE ACTIONS IN THE ASEAN SEA BESIDES HEARING THE WORDS OF MONETARY HELP FROM ANY SIDE!
In conclusion, would summit ASEAN needs help and guidance moving forward BUT NOT FOR A LOSS OF HER TERRITORIES!
Just keep Yankee politics away from ASEAN shore and all will be good. American culture and people are great but the political class are a bunch of neocons, corrupt individuals so look at actions and American domestic reality and not sweet words of lies.
Fully agree
Not to mention that they have lost their Moral Compass!!!
LGBTQ, how sick is their Country!!!
The biggest market so enormous trade opportunities. The more we trade with them and our citizens visit them we won't fight them or so the saying goes.
Both taiwan and china has both the aspiration of one china. Both maintain the one china policy until now but it is prc rocognized by the UN.
Very good interview I love it and want more.
I ❤ china
Talking about US exerting influence over Malaysia, concern came to mind on recent REE issues in Kedah. Known as critical material for battery in EV, REE pose important role for the future economic, and Kedah's REE though already have agreement mining/processing company from China from several years back, now are attacked all site from PMX parties which are known to be funded by US. Hopefully this is just my paranoia speaking, really hate Malaysia to be another ground for proxy war between these two giants.
Zhang Weiwei, Deng Xiaoping's former interpreter, responded to question, saying that Taiwan may not have next election. He added China speeds up unification agenda, and "peaceful" unification phrase being removed from National meeting draft.
Appreciate raising awareness. I like this speaker very much! Subscribed👍🏾 Surprised no discussion on the BRICS currency being planned that China is a part of too.
36:32 I think differently about what Russia is doing based on what they said publicly, that's what they're doing. Its not about winners because they are fighting Ukrainians who are also some of their families and relatives. I believe Chinese can understand this phenomenon from history too. I learned alot🙌🏽
The original intentions of ASEAN is to establish a zone of peace freedom and neutrality. How many of the present ASEAN leaders, still has this mentality?
The Philippines has yielded to the US pressure and has opened its military bases to the American. There is no more neutrality from the Philippines side.
Do not forget that the Phillipines was one of the original movers of SEATO & then ASEAN. Marcos was their president then.
Singapore's wealth depends substantially from its businesses in China, you've the guts to regard China as an "autocratic warmonger"? That's another reason why China ship its goods for the Africa and West using the new Kuantan-Melaka route.
Countries especially smaller countries must have the guts to defend their interest and protect themselves against threats just like Ukraine. Trade , investments and economy are important to any country. But it cannot be a trade off when your country is facing an existential threat. Israel PM once said that he will destroy Palestine and Iran because these countries want to destroy Israel and drive the Jews out of Middle East. So to answer your question Singapore MUST have the guts to stand up to any threat especially because it is a small country.
@@MichaelLim0907 so who is the threat? Please go ahead and explain lol. Eh you watch too much cnn and fox
Thailand was a betrayer to Malaya.
Somewhat disagreed, Deng's strategy did not learn from SG. SG people claim and self-credited, but it was a shame. Deng traveled around and wants to open the world market. Join WTO was the best decision. His vision was first to make Chenzen better than HK.
Second is that China's navy is the world's strongest and largest. Taking Taiwan back is so easily done. But war is not in Xi's plan.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense’s 2020 annual report to Congress on Chinese military power, the People’s Republic of China has the largest navy in the world, with an overall battle force of approximately 350 ships and submarines including over 130 major surface combatants.
Mr. Hoong is right about VN's hard work but also big corruption in and out of the government. VN's internal problems is an old mindset. It is not a Communist like China.
US can offer countries with military weapons but at a cost. Hopefully Malaysia politics is stable and not disrupt by “so call politicians" with their own agendas
46:42/46:54 - msia is the country outside china w chinese education system ...is that right?
Perhaps Wei Hoong should look deeper into Chinese history...his understanding appear insufficient..
Both host and guest not good enough. Host didnt not read enough ...how to be a host? Dont like his tone. Western parrot.
Guest - tried his best but not good enough as an expert.
Does that India is an obstacle to BRICS currency and de-dollarization? Does India, is an obstacle to de-dollarization and BRICS unity? Will India's participation hinder the BRICS' ability to cooperate?
Since India has refuted the BRICS country’s new currency, potentially in response to pressure from the United States, that could cause the group to disband by the US playing on the long-standing conflict between India and China.
Many scholars argue that India has abandoned the Global South, which is merely a breach of its pledges to the BRICS. The sound argument is that India cannot influence the coherence of the BRICS group significantly, no matter how hard US-led West wishes or pushes India.
Since many countries are interested in and so many prospective new members join BRICS, the group will likely scale its de-dollarization agenda, and plausible that BRICS will expand its de-dollarization objectives.
Using India and China's protracted rivalry to its advantage, the United States is hoping it might be able to succeed, causing the BRICS to fail. This will have far-reaching consequences for the cohesion of the BRICS and, thus, the group's future.
The United States takes advantage of the protracted dispute between China and India by proposing technology transfers in exchange for India's potential interference in BRICS-related initiatives. The United States also aims to contain China to maintain its hegemonic dominance. The United States is betting on the probability and peril of Indian BRICS sabotage. Due to their long-standing antagonism with China, it would be advantageous for the West, led by the United States, to exploit and manipulate their geopolitical advantage over the BRICS nations.
The BRICS nations are dedicated to genuine collaboration and sovereign equality. The BRICS are advancing multilateral and egalitarian international relations, and their practice and expansion of these relations demonstrate their repudiation of the current flawed international order and distribution of power. Even if it takes longer than anticipated, this action will significantly contribute to forming a new global order.
The appearance of the BRICS nations was a necessity. These nations are endeavoring to establish a mutually beneficial, independent relationship founded on parity. As a result of the unstoppable trend and the shared objective, the cooperation and cohesion of the BRICS nations have reached unprecedented heights, contributing to the organization's increased allure. The geopolitical entity BRICS will have a significantly greater impact on the current state of international affairs. Consequently, the United States-backed global order will confront new challenges.
The fact that each independent BRICS nation can confidently assert that it is on par with every other member demonstrates that the BRICS are not governed by or used as a tool by a single government.
This is one of the reasons why the United States finds the BRICS nations so compelling. Even if the United States is merely interested in joining BRICS, as other organization members have stated, it may be permitted. The United States could join BRICS if it legitimately desires it.
It’s good to have a chanel abt China. That’s right many people don’t know China well, even your good self Chuang. At most I think you know abt China superficially esp when you attempted to describe people in Vietnam and China. But never mind at least you try to bring awareness of China to a wider audience. Your guest Mr Loh tends to focus on his MBA teaching in China, albeit he can polish his English a bit more, and a great deal of negatives abt China in the early years esp. when Deng HP was shocked to see inside a Singapore HDB flat. Nevertheless his insight of China is nothing surprising
Vietnam is already regret for refuse of joining the BRI of Railway from Kuming of China to towards to Thailand to border of Malaysia already
Good speaker..
What about BRIC currency?
China unfortunately did not reform politically corresponding to its economical reform. Chinese has been educated well enough to judge right from wrong, so its the right time to give its people to choose it;s government.
Haven't you seen the Dalai lama said that Tibet is part of the People's Republic of China and Tibet is not seeking independence from China. Try to Google. I just saw it recently in youtube.
If taiwan declare independence.then china will reclaim it.taiwanese must make the choice to rejoin the motherland.
Both host and guest not good enough. Host didnt not read enough ...how to be a host? Dont like his tone. Western parrot.
Guest - tried his best but not good enough as an expert. Nevertheless, good for those (many) who are totally not abreast w chinese history and situation.
Of course, wai hoong's sentiments like me and many if my friends ...
Wai hoong is however knowledgeable, more so than than the average msian (english educated)
Mr Loh freaked out on the misinfo that he has children in china😂😂😂😂😂
China had the opportunity to do it differently from colonialists but just fell short . Still has chance to correct its way and create an Asian renaissance
Who is this host? He seems to be so steep in Western media and knows so little about Asia. And he claims to be from SE Asia!
9-Dash Line.
Wake up Malaysians. It pays to be competent In BM, Chinesemandarin, and English. Be left behind if you are stubborn and stick to your own language. The ball ia in your court. Ne wise.
Civil liberty or civil stability, social unrest or peaceful prosperity? Your choice!
Bahasa indonesia is similar to malay but there are major difference too
I envisage that from year 2050, our decreasing human population problem would be solved by replacing AI human robots. Can you imaging AI robots designing another generation of robots and goes on and on?
That's the fear isn't it. Sadly those two events are converging, and fast.
You are Malaysia yet you are proud Chinese students you need to change the student of Malaysia. That tells you you are inspiring educator. you need to make a proud new age Chinese civilization culture when you can teach students outside China
What about 9 dashed lines? To surrender sovereignty of ASEAN nations & kowtow to a dictatorial state. To decouple or de-risking with a country without safeguard on human rights is the only way forward. To re-establish supply chains in SEA or Eastern Europe/South America with the help of Japanese/Korean/Korean industrial powerhouses. No human rights no trade.
@@giant108 Please elaborate human rights? Taking care and poverty alleviation of its people not human rights? What about the constant hate by Malaysian politicians against its minorities, human rights? Chinese, minorities hate human rights?How many ethnic groups in China? And they’re well respected and taken care of by the central government is not human rights? Be specific. Don’t use human rights like the Americans and allies pointing fingers to countries they don’t like while ignoring their records to others.
@buddha199115 who don't know those were Xi's political propaganda. Half the population making less then 1000RMB , the inequality is so crazy. Those investment project on belt & Road mega construction project had poor quality and underutilised to a point that it is basically useless not to mention the debt to finance those project is crazy.
Aging population and bottom low birth rate is biting the CCP. I don't see why any point doing business with decline superpower.
The prof may be a smart man but he seem not to know about the hidden hands in Arab Spring and HK. Also claimed that foreign soldiers were not sent into the Ukraine war but many died there?
The only thing i disagree with this guy is Russia is winning the war, the thing is Russia does not want to totally destroy ukraine, cuz Russia has NO intention to annex ukraine anyway.
For China to be no 1, I feel that the Chinese must learn English.... the language of commerce, science and AI.
I as a Malaysian Indian I fully support China in raising up . Asia is coming great and will shine and we should not look to the west for anything. However, not only China is raising but India and South Korea, Japan and many other Asian countries too. China should never be aggressive and try to control weaker countries and claim that it was part of ancient China. Can the British claim any part of the countries they once control? Or can the Javanese claim other countries which they ruled as Majapahid Empire? China is already huge but it wants to take over Tibet a different country, part of Indian territories in Arunachala and Kashmir. Be realistic and not be blinded by your love and attachment to China bring a Chinese. Be peaceful and help other countries in the Asia way not the European exploiting way. Thank you
The current China does not claim any territorial that Qing Dynasty, the latest China before the Current One, did not claim, not some antient land China controlled once. This is the basic of a Country's Sovereignty.
If China could not claim a land Qing had, then no current Country can claim any land they current have. Qing Dynasty/China was founded on 1636.
Greed and envy should never be the qualities a nation should have.
@@qingzhou9983 You are wrong to quote some old Chinese dynasty. Ancient China also controlled the Vietnamese, but they fought hard to free themselves from Chinese control. Though today you can still see the Chinese influence on their culture. Can you say that all yellow-skinned people are Chinese? The Thai people, Koreans, and Japanese have some similar looks to the Chinese, but they will never say that they are Chinese. They are proud of their race. Chinese Communist Party is interested to expand its territories and force others to adopt and adapt to the Chinese culture. It's going on in Tibet and the Northwest Territories of Sinkiang with the Turk's descendants. They are certainly not Chinese. The Chinese people are just the tool of the Communist Party government, and you cannot fool the world. I understand your racial affiliation and love since you are Chinese. Be realistic and see the world with a balanced attitude. I am happy to see the rise of Asia and China with India together they can influence the world to make it a better world for all, not the way the West exploited Asia and Africa. Friend, please think carefully and not be blinded by your feelings. Venga. Thank you.
@@Venga44
I have no idea what are you talking about. Qing is the previous Chinese Government before ROC. And PRC defeated ROC and gained the right to Rule China. This is how legitimacy of a country measured, except the newly founded countries from Colonial Rule after WW II.
So quoting Qing Dynasty's ruling areas is the Direct evidence for the Legitimacy of ROC's claim, hence the PRC's claim.
What is your objection to this argument?
@@qingzhou9983 Every race wants to be free and independent to develop their own race and culture without another race dominating them, suppressing them or force their culture on to these weak minority races or country. You only think of your pride and your race, what about others? Do you sincerely thinlk that they want to be dominated and kill off their own culture, language or whatever. Be realistic and not be influenced by your believes only. RESPECT OTHER LIVES THEY TOO HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND DEVELOP IN ALL ASPECTS. THANK YOU. Enough said.
Interesting to hear from this guy but I disagree with some of the things he said about Taiwan!
If you keep going back to history - 7000 years argument-then Tanah Melayu will be Red Dot and Japan and South Korea should be very afraid base on the legacy argument… if they go after Kashmir, Tibet and Taiwan , we are all in trouble
Can't understand what you are trying to say!
China has been a superpower more times than the west, if it wanted to conquer you it would have ages ago. Chinese are not disgusting like the west
The begining of the multipolar world.
Fg guy's a Jew schill - China has more firepower than all Asia + USA put together and Taiwan is just 60 miles away. No need to start a war, it will simply re-occupy Taiwan.
Haaanjien, zouuuggou, zahuang de, piande ( scrambled to stop Shnnngs from free Chinese lessons, experienced speakers will know ) Wo Pai !!!
Please read more on China history before conducting your interview next time. I believe most of us here know better than you😂😂😂Joking ya.
There were no protest in the streets of HK protesting against unemployment, unfair treatment of employees, poor economy . All protests were political and human rights issue so how is HK an economic issue turned into a social issue?? Even if HK had an economic issue the people just have to crossed over the border to get a job in Shenzhen
Obviously, you did not understand what the lecturer is saying. He said that the housing situation was in a dire condition. The economy has been faltering. This led to a lot of unhappiness and anger. Yes, the protest started due to some laws being introduced in HK. What the lecturer and some people are alluding to is that the protests were manipulated by the US and western agencies. Some people said it is common that the US manipulated genuine grievances on some social issues into protests against the government. Nury Vittachi, a well known journalist wrote a book on the protests called "The other side of The Story : A Secret War in Hong Kong". In the book, he detailed how the protests were manipulated and funded by US agencies like the NED.
For you to say that an economic issue can easily be solved by just crossing the border to work in Shenzhen is an indication of a simple-minded person who doesn't know about reality. If the HK issue is so simple, why doesn't all Malaysians cross over to Singapore to work? Then, there won't be any complaint about the falling ringgit with its weak purchasing power.
Made use of Hong-Kong dollar for the transition
