As a Chinese, I carefully watched this interview twice. Milzhammer is wise and humorous. He preserved most of the dignity and confidence of the Indian female journalist and the audience present. Undoubtedly, India is rapidly developing. India will become a better India. I hope Indians who see this message can realize: India does not need to compare with China, nor is there any comparability. China has gone through about 200 years of brutal social turmoil, conflict, and integration process, from a top agricultural civilization to a relatively advanced industrial civilization (but still far from the top, there is still quite a long way to go). The cost of this process was the accidental deaths of tens of millions of people, including my grandfather. When India has not experienced these and is unwilling to pay a huge price to unify cognition and improve execution, India cannot become the second China. Overall, India will become a better India, and China will become a better China, but there is no comparability between the two. Indians who disagree with the above views, you do not need to argue with me. You can come to China and see it with your own eyes instead of listening to your media propaganda.
😂这位大爷是智慧有余 情商不足 也可能人家也不在乎 像他这样现实主义的学者在美国主流也是不受待见吧？毕竟这世界上没几个国家像中国这样喜欢每天要自我反省的😂
❤ you are a better intellectual than the guest speaker
India has experienced partition and famines which still doesn’t even come close to chinas taipang rebellion
we went through 800 years of brutal social turmoil and conflict wrought by colonialism, both Islamic and British colonialism
@@arvind13india need a real cultural reform
In summary, all the interview focused on: India: Is India on the table with US and China and Russia? Mearsheimer: No, you are not on the table, you are standing aside.
India is on the menu
He is in fact saying you are one menu!
I mean what else did you expect? The interview took place in India, with China as an aggressive neighbor. The main purpose of the interview was to explore India's position in all of this from Mearsheimer's perspective and to gain insight into conflicts in various parts of the world simultaneously. Also, your interpretation of Mearsheimer's comments about India is inaccurate. He explicitly stated that India should and would not fully engage itself, considering its economic inferiority compared to China, also based on its current and past foreign policy decisions. He also made it clear that India's rise if it happens means India is on the menu from both China's and US's end.
@@somnus4532 China as an aggressive neighbor? Stop parroting the indian propaganda BS like a fool. LOL
@@somnus4532 If you do the same sheet you are doing to China to either USA or Russia, India would have been a glass lake long ago. China has been too fkg nice to you clueless people.
Very nice to see John in India . He is one of the sanest voices of America. Great man with clarity and integrity.
Professor John Mearsheimer staring at the Indian crowd dead-on with Palk(!) in the corner of his eyes: _"there are THREE great powers - United States, China and Russia!"_ The truth hurts and I can see the pain all over the room.
Palki is salty that she heard from this guy first hand that india is still nowhere nearby china😂😂🤣🤣
if you search the name John Mearsheimer on youtube, you'll find that 11 years ago, he was talking about China would not rise peacefully, now 11 years later, China did rise and did not go to war with anybody, his thoery of great power politics is only based on everybody bahave like the US have done, China had been one of the greatest country in Asia, had sailed as far as Africa, have its people moved to most South East Asian countries, but China did not colonize the world like the Europeans did, culture matters.
The problem is not that China Rise will be peaceful or not. China is very patient. It will take some time and China is OK with that. The real problem is the decline of US. Will US give a fight. Will it's decline be peaceful or not.
你的回復，很有意思。點讚！@@nmew6926
That's right. He formulated his ideas and theories based on what he knows, and that was based on the West.
You are a Chinese or a pro-Chinese. Your analysis is false. China claiming the entire China Sea and islands of Japan, Vietnam and Philippines and areas of China. These are not violence according to you.
@@DipakBose-bq1vv South China Sea countries including the regime in Taiwan island all have disputed island between each other, my identity does not affect this fact, it's not China v.s. rest SCS countries, it's SCS countries v.s. each other, but American media would not let you know this. China as well as Japan, Vietnam, Philippines and others are totally allowed to settle their disputed area via negotiations or via violence, however it's more and more clear that the US want to use its proxy Marcos Jr(Even US media like WSJ say Marcos Jr was installed by US govt and his family is extramely corrupted and was once wanted by the US govt) to provoke China like they use Zelensky to provoke Russia, PH is lucky that China is not Russia, because the military level of PH is far weaker than Ukraine(even weaker than Taiwan), and China is far more rich and powerful than Russia. PH have to sank a ship for 20, 30 years to show it's a disputed area, China don't need that.
Palki-Palki ! Listen what Henry Kissenger said: "It is dangerous, to be an enemy to the USA; It is deadly, to be a friend of the USA"
She is only focused on China, she can't see the bigger picture.
I'm an overseas Chinese born and educated in Kolkata, India, and has been living in Taiwan for over 30 years. First, John is a guest, probably paid, so he was very diplomatic in trying very hard not to hurt the host or Indian's pride/feelings with the bare truth! If you're smart, you'll clearly see between the lines in many of his answers! John is an American, so, he's not going to trash the US and all it's failings and wrong decisions the past 30~40 years, that's caused it's downfall today! Check history, even with far superior Navy and Air forces, US was badly beaten by the Chinese Army, weaken by internal fighting, and lost the Korean war - thus North and South Korea! Same with the Vietnam war and how the US troops ran via helicopter from their VN Embassy! We see a repeat on VN in the recent Afghanistan war, and I don't see a good outcome in Iraq or Syria! So, basically the US cannot fight any war, but fights only those countries that can't defend themselves! Even with all the advance weaponry, NATO, basically the US, is losing the Ukraine war against Russia, so there's NO WAY, US will EVER DARE to confront China! Haven't you noticed US has moved their first line of defense - Korea, Japan, even Guam back, and as far as Australia! As for Taiwan, China don't need to use one bullet or kill one person, just block off TW from the North and South for a month or so, and TW will be on it's knees with no gas, coal, etc. Can you imagine no more electricity, internet, etc.!?!? Sharma, you can't even control the Bay of Bengal, India suddenly controls the Malacca Strait! What a joke! India, look around you, and yourself! You have conflicts with all your neighbors, a huge un-educated population, very bad infrastructure, serious inner conflicts, and the list goes on and on .... STOP feeling jealous of China's growth and advancement! Learn from China! And finally, remove the pipe dream of trying to contain China with the US! CHINA WILL CONTINUE IT'S PATH AND WILL GROW STRONGER, NO MATTER WHAT!
This is jingoistic take. If you are abreast with the current situation in India, you will see how rapidly the infra is improving. To say that China will keep rising from strength to strength is a superstitious and a fanciful dream. Nobody knows the future and China itself has internal problems that it does not let out into the world.
Thanks for the reality check , Now look at your own backyard ,your country is going to have a huge population crisis ,its just the start wait for at least 1 decade & you will get to know. Secondly, talking about India's poor education & infrastructure TIME CHANGES ,remember china was once the poorest country in Asia ,millions of poor people ,uneducated ,ill infrastructure & many more problems. So get your ass hell outta India's matter. Getting hella jealous of India's rapid growth. Man get a life ,stop getting insulted by anyone's success.
On the one hand, there are tons of "China experts" in the west that keep revealing the problems faced by China and predicting how China's decline is inevitable. On the other hand, China is such a secretive state that it "has internal problems that it does not let out into the world". Good luck making your own thoughts coherent.@@prakhardangwal7367
@@prakhardangwal7367The real rise of China is industrial, especially the speed of industrial modernization, the only problem within China is the internal roll caused by too many people, unable to end the era of real estate and urbanization.
@@prakhardangwal7367If China's population declines, it can quickly end real estate and urbanization, and China will enter the age of consumption. You only need to understand the speed of China's industrial modernization to understand the real rise of China.
A truly great power does not ask others, "Am I considered a great power?" and They do not ask if you are at war with another country. "What can I do for you?" For example, China, from its leaders to its academics, has always emphasized that it is a developing country and that its most important task is to improve the living standards of its people. However, let us not forget that this country, in its second year of existence, boldly took the initiative to attack the seventeen-nation coalition led by the most powerful nation on earth and achieved its political goals.
Right, in the past 30 years, I never heard any Chinese leader says or asks if China a great superpower.

China did not call itself "democracy with Chinese characteristic", instead, it is "Socialism with Chinese characteristic." For any one watching news like this to understand China, I urge you visit the country on your vacation. China has the best infrastructure in the world. People's lives are getting better day by day. In the last 40 years, 900 million people got out of poverty. Crimes are basically eliminated in Chinese society with the improvement of economy and digitalized society. If that's not democracy, I don't know what is. Palki is actually helping China by feeding false information to the India public daily.
That isn’t democracy. You may indeed have a valid point that in terms of societal improvement and satisfaction that China is doing better than many democracies, but democracy means free and fair voting, free speech, ability of the public (not their leaders) to replace/vote out candidates. So no, China is not somehow more democratic. You don’t know what a democracy is. This does not however take your point that in terms of Human development index improvement, China has done a great job…but it is still far cry from developed democracies.
@@jameslawrence5828In China, the party don't change but policies change to adapt new situations. In the so called "democracies", the party change but the policies don't.

@@jameslawrence5828 Who told you that? Democracy is more than just running an election. Few years ago, a Princeton, Northwestern university study showed, for the last 20+ years, US policy disproportionately favor the corporate donor class, not average voters.... What is the point of voting when the outcome don't even serve the voters?(by design) For example, Japan, people can vote, but can it changes their national policy and say no to the US ? The answer is no because Japan is being militarily occupied by the US. Their voting system is a clown show, same to S. Korea, Taiwan, and the entire Europe. For Indian's elections, with the amount of corruption, does that really mean anything? Most of the population is not even educated enough to vote. How many Indians have some basic knowledge of the complicated geopolitics? Most of the elections on the planet are just rhetoric, political show. It's either the candidates already pre-selected for you to "vote" or all of the choices so bad you ended up not voting at all. In order for the election system to be effective, you need to have informed voters, but with the amount of mis-infomation produced by the mass media between each election cycles, do you think the voter really can vote for his own interest? the answer is obvious. There are so many problems in the current election systems that no country has the prerequisite to run it properly. And to think China decision making body does not consult others is ridiculous. You think XiJin Ping just running the show all by himself not consulting other party members and experts? CPC members have it's own voting system. In China, if you want to participate in politics, proof yourself competent first by doing well in school, then apply for a government job. You have to start from low, understand the basic needs of regular people, not like the west which politicians are billionaire family members or legacy political family members, being manipulated their way in and call it a democracy. Colonial toxin still remain in India, and it operates some what like the west, political system run by thugs that serve themself at the cost of the society. (Independent gained from begging is not true independent, true independent is only gained by violent revolution that up roots the old interest group) Sometime watching these political talk shows from India and the west really entertaining as they always like to mention China China China, but clueless of how it works.
What is even more funny is that India calls themselves "democracy" with CASTEISM characteristics. 🤥
No joke 😂 the American army can't even fight the Taliban, even in the Korean war they can't win the Chinese and now want to fight China I doubt it....
That’s not entirely true. Chinese PLA did fight in the Korean and Vietnam wars. In both wars, the USA did not win and eventually withdrew their military.

During the "Rising Bharat Summit 2024" of March 2024 which is held merely 1 day ago, Palki Sharma asked the esteemed and scholarly geopolitical scientist, Prof John Mearsheimer, 2 questions about geopolitics. ➡Palki Sharma asked: Is today a Uni-Polar World or a Multi-Polar World? ▶Prof John Mearsheimer replied: Only USA, Russia and CHINA are the 3 GREAT powers. ➡Unsatisfied with the answer given by Prof John Mearsheimer, Palki Sharma asked again: What about india saar?🤭 ▶Prof John Mearsheimer replied: india does not qualifies to be a GREAT power. 🔀Palki Sharma's reacted: 😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭😭😭😭 🔀Entire world reacted: When Bo||ywood propagandas/scams meet Reality.
When did Xi Jinping openly come out and challenge U.S.? He kept on saying China doesn't seek hegemony.
it's actions
The US politicians see Xi Jinping shaking hands with Putin as a big challenge to the US. 😅
You challenge the US simply by being better than them. They decide to fight anyone who is becoming a better nation. That's the professors main point.
It just got too big. Probably when it said it wanted to dominate hi tech.
@@TheFlagUnittrue it’s getting too big with the 1.4 billion to feed and need constant improvement to maintain a decent lifestyle which not easy. With those US bases surrounding China its too intimidating not to increase their defence spending for survival but the collective West viewed it in a different perspective to keep their hegemonic ambition
Dr. Mearsheimer is verry polite towards India .... what he meant to say , India has big population but still poor and can't be seen as a great power ... It need to take care of itself first before thinking of bridging anything😂 😂
It is indeed heartening to witness individuals such as yourself expressing authentic concern regarding India's growth trajectory. As the adage goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Looking at the various growth metrics, it is evident that India has already traversed a considerable distance, having surpassed the 300-mile mark. Amidst the journey towards progress, it is crucial to maintain patience and perseverance. India, with its rich historical heritage and cultural significance, is poised to reclaim its rightful place on the global stage. The strides it has made thus far are indicative of the nation's potential to fulfill its civilizational role and reassert its position in the annals of human history. With determination, dedication, and collective effort, India will undoubtedly continue to advance, paving the way for a future where its contributions resonate far and wide. Let us remain steadfast in our support and optimism as India marches forward towards realizing its full potential
Well India can surely bridge everything through call centre services.
Indian economy if growing very fast so it has all chances to become the world's second economy overtaking the United States. Just an opinion from Moscow, Russia. And yes, Russia is going to be a mediator between China and India to reconcile them within BRICS and other institutions.
Dr. Mearsheimer is consistent in theme and Analysis whether he addresses to India, USA, Australia, China, Russia, E Asia based journalists.
Your earlier comments on Ram Temple shows ur bias and lack of understanding of our History. Shows ur intellectually lacking. India has a lot of ointments to take care of those who are burning
Whatever makes the West believe that a country with such high culture, sophisticated civilization and very long history like China could become like them?
Judge a gentleman's heart by a mean man's mind
By admitting China in WTO, America raised China trade status to same level as the other 150 members, nothing else, there was no privilege. US only removed all trade restrictions which other countries were not subjected. The US government never forced any Western company to invest in China. Palki should ask Mearschimer that Q: Why the Western companies preferred China to India.
You are absolutely correct !!!
How India dealt with its constant trade deficits in past decades? Answer: 1. Remittances from Indian laborers in West Asia. 2. Legal robbery of foreign companies through the Indian Courts. Wistron and Xiaomi are the two latest victims.
Because they come to India happily and leave sadly 😂
Perhaps Indians feel it is an honor to be treated as equals by Western countries.

When I saw Prof.Meirsheimer being interviewed, I just HAD to see it. Thank you.
The idea of hostility towards China is insane. Exactly why do Indians think that the Chinese want war with them? The Chinese respect the Indians greatly, the consider Indians a major cradle of civilization. Stop thinking about waging war. That's a really childish approach. Stop the military aggression and start doing business.
Many don't realize, India, like many colonies, are heavily polluted by Anglo-Saxons. Especially in their minds. One thing I observe around the world is that, unless you de-colonize your minds, your nation will not have long-term prosperous developments. May be short-term is possible for smaller countries, but long-term, never.
I can listen to Mearsheimer forever..

"How about India?... India?... Nothing about India?.... India again? Please, something about India?..." Geez. So desperate for validation.
India and China needs to resolve the border disputes amicably, it would allow both countries to coexist and prosper. Both countries being part of BRICS and having conflicts can fracture the organization which some countries are desperately waiting for getting dissolved. Both countries have suffered immensely for centuries of colonization being looted and plundered.
we were fools back then and still are.
Problem is if India improve ties with China, US will punish India. Human rights issues in Nagaland, Manipur, Kalisthan ect will be raised. The CIA will start funding and supporting rebellion in these regions.

I am really surprised that Indians believe in democracy. It has neither solved the corruption problem in India nor the inefficiency problem in India. Democracy is just a way of dividing your country into many interest groups, and the United States can control one or two groups. even we need some conception like democracy, the real goal of voters are benefits. if your government can protect your interest, why you should go to vote for someone. Have you observed how many countries in the world first became election democratic and then became wealthy? Western countries are rich because they have colonized the world in various ways. This Indian feels it deeply. Indians, think about how much of Britain's wealth comes from India? In Asia, South Korea, Singapore, and Chinese Taiwan all had long-term autocracies that enabled rapid economic development and then gradually realized election democracy. The biggest support democracy needs is to have benefits that can be distributed to voters. If Taiwan and South Korea do not have huge trade surpluses, benefits cannot be distributed to the people before the election. This election will definitely become more and more chaos. like US election now.
Perhaps, the most practical interview one has heard in a long long time .
When measheimer said india is not qualified as a great power, Indians already lost interets
Hehe hehe
Dr Mearsheimer is a phenomenal intellect!
Palki should learn politics not just keep on supporting modi . learn about the world palki.
I'm here for Prof. John💫
Palki is focused on China war, 🇨🇳. China is not US , their progress is far much peaceful, unlike India still caught in caste and poverty
notice how palki sharma cleverly slides in a contrary comment (mostly derived from indian mainstream opinion) on merisheimer's answer, just before quickly moving to the next question..? What's the point of that? Do you need an answer for that, or do you think you're proving him wrong? and why isn't he asked to respond to those comments? 'Can't leave my agenda' attitude i guess.
I don't understand why India leadership and press appears to be so keen to be a great power, to be on the table with US, Russian, or China. I think most average peoples, either in China or India, care more on how to make $200 in their pocket. As such, the leadership in these two countries should focus more on how to help average people make more money and improve their lives. And whichever country wins in this regard becomes a greater power than the other!
Great Conversation, Luv John Mearsheimer perspective on the things most people in the world cannot fathom his views.
Im admire his realism
Good but I think the organisers forgot to test the Mike before the program
Rationally articulate. Emotionally stable. A very clear view about the current international affairs. Thanks for bringing him here in India and letting him share his expert opinions.
Extremely interesting geo-political conversation. Palki is excitingly digging into John's uniquely realistic expert calculus of US, Russia, China and India: particularly in military and economic powers besides, of course, international diplomatic compulsions. Hope Palki would come up with more such videos. Kudos to Palki and John both.

LoL india tries really hard to be relevent😂😂😂 nice try but no cigar.
@@yongdeng1813 tchina is great power???! Try taking Taiwan first 😂 the US will blow u out of the water
Idiot, Taiwan is China's property. Who would burn down its own house. Taiwan will return to China on its own, just a matter of time. China can fight the US proxy India or Philippine. @@motootto5650
India Rising ??😂😂😂😂😂 Rising Riot, Rising Gas Price....😂😂😂😂
@@motootto5650PRC is not going to invade Taiwan, if. PRC does, it’s because of the need to quell any uprising Remember Taiwan is part of China,you don’t invade your own country
Rising bharat turned into a rising china 😂.
Simple, yet very accurate comment
They always try, cant fault them for that!!😂😂
A superpower is defined as a country that has the ability to project power and influence around the world. USA's 800 military bases and China's 151 BRI member countries are some of the examples. Not to mention having veto powers at the United Nation. Indians are of the opinion that india is today a global superpower, which is ironic since india can't even influence its neighbours Sri Lanka with regards to visits by chinese vessels. Worse, Maldives want india and indians OUT ! A WANNABE SUPERPOWER
Best regards from Romania!
India Rising ??😂😂😂😂😂 Rising Riot, Rising Gas Price....😂😂😂😂
Palki tried really hard to guide John acknowledge India is a super power, one of the poles, and even more superior than China. but John fails her every time😂😂
absolutely,,, What about India, ? What About India,,,? same ol mantra again and again,, but getting same direct answer from John,.. lol
For being a good reporter you definitely have to be talent but you also have to be honest and unbiased
One thing I disagree with him is that this notion U.S. has a highly primed military. That is nonsense. Fighting against an economically sanctioned weak military is one thing and fighting with an equal enemy is yet another thing. Even those against weaker nations such as Iraq, US did not fight alone. It had a coalition of 28 countries pounding for one month that weak nation to defeat it. In Afghanistan bare foot Mujahadeens fought 20 years and drove away US and NATO. US is a chicken shit army that shoot missiles from far away. When it comes to ground combat it is even Steven and they will run. Vietnam was the best example. China will win such a battle hands down. That said China will never attack Taiwan because it is a nation with utmost patience. It will one day reunify peacefully. And US recognize Taiwan as part of China yet wants to fight China to protect Taiwan. Why? It is a sham. All US wants is to sell its military hardware. For that it should keep this status quo. India and China should get together and resolve these minor border problems and kick the colonial West that ruined both countries in the past. In that respect this China India thing is a West created artificial problem.
I agree with you about China and India, who should settle down the arguments and help each other. But in reality it won’t happen, sad fact.
India and China should come together for good.
That'd be devastating for the US.
that won't happen, India's ego is too big
Professor mearsheimer realistically elaborates present geopolitical situation without any hesitation.....😊
Mearsheimer was interviewed by an Indian reporter and made no secret of his contempt for India. The scene was very embarrassing. 😂😂😂😂
Very knowledgeable dialogue Thanks for calling him
Thank you Sir
It would be good to have more such objective dialogues.👌
Mearsheimer brings good perspective. Even critical of his own country when they are wrong. Palki's content writers should learn from him.
Very nice to see John Mersheimer here in India. Pleasure and Honour is ours. Very nice to see Palki Sharma hosting it, excellent international affairs journalist. Proud of you! Mersheimer has to be listened to, he is a man of great depth and wisdom, like his difficult wise words or not he is one person who is not biased.
Appreciate the hardwork to bring the OG realist, hope to see more heavyweights in future🎉🎉
Palki was so below the standard
Seeing two of my favorite individuals from different places discussing a topic I love is amazing! It's crazy!
fantastic analysis by exposing the geostrategic manuouvering
Whenever I see John Mearsheimer, it's an automatic click.
Prof John is one of the best geopoliticians.
Excited to see John Meirshiemer in India, extremely articulate and crystal clear statements and talks absolute sense and explains things just the way they are. At least one show on the side of truth.
Wooow 😦 huge huge conservation with giant geopolitics Doctor...smart questions.. good answers like good shots... congratulations palki Ma'am it's very very smart and important conservation i need it in this time
CONVERSATION, not conservation
@@musicclassic5938 ooo ok
Respect 🙏
25:38 Mearschimer: "... *IF* China collapse, US will point its guns sight on India..." Palki reaction: ".... Middle East, Hamas, Israel..." 😂😂😂 She only follows her script. Why not improvise a question like: India is the largest democracy, why point guns on India 😂😂😂
She is a ventriloquist dummy. And her ventriloquists are in US and UK.
you don't believe that the US cares about democracy? It only cares about it's influence
The answer is clear, check what the US did to UK, EU, and Japan, who are all considered "democacy“. This is actually the core idea of this professor. In the interantional competition, there is no shit of democracy, no shit of human right, freedom, ideaology...nothing. The only concern is your realistic national interest.
These are two people I admire
The interview could have been managed for more time with such a intellectual international expert
He's a man whose not influenced by politicians and politics. A true proponent of truth in a world of sheep
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Great thinker...
Excellent. One may agree or disagree but he made a good and fortgright point.
Very good interview. Full marks to Palki .
What?? I still dont get why she got this oppoortunity to interview such a great mind, she totally didnt deserve that!
Was this interview held in Washington DC or India ?
