Is it too late for the US to contain China? | The Bottom Line
Is it futile to resist China’s superpower status? Is it time for the United States to live with it?
Depending on the answer, the world could be heading towards more stability - or chaos.
Kishore Mahbubani was a Singaporean diplomat for more than 30 years and served as president of the United Nations Security Council. He tells host Steve Clemons that the US should get accustomed to a multipolar world it can no longer dominate.
Mahbubani argues that the "Asian century" has already begun and that Washington should not allow issues such as Taiwan to ruin their relations.

Question is, can US contain and control itself, insted of making trouble everywhere?
ABB =America Bombs Bitter (mistaken as America Built Better)
The USA is being forced to control itself because China is selling off its treasury holdings in US dollars and not buying any more. Other countries are now also doing the same after the US weaponised the Trading Dollar and the Swift system. Now the US is buying its own debt which it cannot sustain without global impact.
Same question for CCP.... Time for CCP Clowns 🤡👻👾to go/retire , they had their 100 years n let someone else get a chance just like everywhere. CCP is outdated and not Relevant in the current Global issues..🤧👺 Daily Reminder: Taiwan is a Independent Country, West Taiwan+Taiwan = New, One Taiwan, Policy...👉👉👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 As usual, Chez Chez Nihau👃 to all WUMAO's wisdom -- Sun Tzu.....🙏

Chinese always have a saying “harmony bring wealth”, compare to USA “my way or the high way”. This is a fundamental different between these 2 countries, and it leads to a very different foreign policy for these 2 countries.
Americans listened to much to Limp Bizkit (although the phrase was with them since they started wiping out the original inhabitants to the land they claim now)

The world is not for any one country to contain another country. It’s an absurd and utterly selfish concept of winner wins all. Losers plan containment but true winners talk about competition and cooperation.
Multipolar world is here and will stay. Common prosperity is the way to go.
@Peter. You are absolutely right, not just morally, but also in economic and every other terms. The US attempt to contain China is a fool's errand. The problem is that the US is led by second rate people, who are ignorant, stupid, reckless and evil.
well said
It looks like a lot of people agree with you. Common sense.
Contain means keep the poor countries poor. That’s what the United States want, to stay number one ☝🏻.
There is no need to "contain". This is called bullying.
China is an authoritarian state, so bullying is the only language they respond to.
as far as I know in the south china sea there is about HALF of the world sea trade, its a pretty big prize
US is like a tyrant and bully husband who wants to control everything a wife does. Can do this, cannot do that, must do this, must not do that. And the wife have to obey out of fear, not out of love.

BRICS wants to build a new currency. It is also worth noting that gold has historically been used as a store of value and a means of exchange, and some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their reserves. However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subiect to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.
It's interesting to learn more about the discussions and proposals around BRICS nations and their potential use of gold. There are several reasons why people may choose to buy gold, including its historical use as a store of value and means of exchange, its potential as a hedge against inflation or currency devaluation, and its relative scarcity compared to other commodities. Additionally, gold can offer diversification benefits to investment portfolios, as it tends to have a low correlation with other asset classes like stocks and bonds. However, it's important to note that investing in gold carries risks and may not be suitable for evervone. and investors should carefully consider their investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial situation before making any decisions.
Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you. I work with Catherine Morrison Evans, a financial consultant regulated by the SEC, and started small, but eventually accumulated almost $820K.

It was possible to contain the Soviet Union because they contained themselves. They did not let foreigners in. They did not come out to the world to interact and trade. If they came out, they themselves said that the ultimate purpose was to change your country into communist and thus nobody trusted them. China is now the number one trading partner for 140 countries in the world. That trade benefits both sides. China now invests heavily in many countries in the world and that benefits the countries receiving the investments. China does not have a globalized ideology and does not try to tell other countries how to run their own affairs, making China a more attractive partner than the US. Why should any country cut their ties with China to please the US? Is the US offering to compensate those countries for their losses if they were to do so? The idea of "containing China" is a hallucination.

The U.S. has also invaded or bombed dozens of countries and supported nearly every single right-wing dictatorship in the world since the end of World War II.

@@oldestmen5163 According to data released by the US Congressional Research Service, from 1789 to 2022, the United States launched 469 military interventions overseas. In the short 30 years since the end of the Cold War, it has launched 251 times, far exceeding the number of more than 190 years before the end of the Cold War. The United States launched at least 251 military interventions between 1991 and 2022. This is according to a report by the Congressional Research Service, a U.S. government institution that compiles information on behalf of Congress. The report documented another 218 U.S. military interventions between 1798 and 1990. That makes for a total of 469 U.S. military interventions since 1798 that have been acknowledged by the Congress. There are only three countries in the world America hasn't invaded or have never seen a U.S. military presence: Andorra, Bhutan, and Liechtenstein. In contrast, China was annexing Tibet, an old province , that was taken from them by the british. The UN and even the US recognized this.

It is interesting why American's media talk like a judge of other countries. No other countries talk about how US should behave.
The media in the USA and much of the West is all consumed by itself and by self interest. The advent of FAKE NEWS results in CONTROL where there should be honest criticism and FREE SPEECH - there's CONTROL through opening the flood gates for LIES that match the dominant narrative.
You're absolutely right, even though the US is the world's most badly behaved "WORLD DICTATOR", the US Media do frequently sound like a judge for other nations. I've always maintained that the US Media are nothing but a bunch of US Government agencies for the spread of US government propaganda against China, Russia, as well as any nation that the US is either hoping to destabilise for Imperialist Interest, or a nation which the US is hoping to bring under its WORLD DICTATORSHIP REGIME. Hence, the mainstream media should neither be taken seriously nor respected, because they lack credibility
@Benjamin G. Lee The Chinese abhors their fake regime? Where do you get this idea that the Chinese people don't like thier government? FYO, the Chinese love their government and are more patriotic than the average American is to the US government. Do you really believe that the Chinese government is more evil than the US government? Consider this, everywhere the US government goes with its terrorist military, death, assassination of leaders, hunger, war, destabilization, mayhem, murder and sanctions follow in the name of US Imperialist Ideology. You sound like a victim of US Government/US midea propaganda against China. It's not too late to start doing your own independent research, including talking with international students from China, or travel to China in person and see how the majority of its citizens are so happy with their government. Why? Because the Chinese government has done more for its citizens in a single generation, than the US government has done for American citizens since the inception of the United States of America
There are now 2 parties in the US. One is patriotic and the other is taking advantage of the country's talent and resources and using China(bribery) to destroy the US. China should wake up to some of the evil US elite.

Now American problem is they lost industrial base, and they have nothing to trade except weapons and overprinted money. I'm glad i had liquidated most of my major assets on the financial market at premium price before i call bad investment! The problem with the US economy today is that they underestimated China. Also, i agree with peter from the comments that the world is not for anyone to contain.
I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board.
Do you think it would be wise to liquidate assets? I don't think selling was the best move, despite the recession and the looming depression, because I'm a big proponent of economic growth. That might, however, be based on how you managed your risks.
@@joecaruso06 I'm not completely against selling now. True, many businesses would suffer losses as a result of the recession or even depression, but a boom always follows a dip. This is just another reason why financial preparation is crucial. Businesses who have planned ahead will succeed despite this. Consider how I was able to enhance my ROI this bear season by about 20% by following Yvonne Anette Lively's advice. To the best of my knowledge, it primarily involves knowing when to enter and exit a situation.
@@Gregfreemann Interesting. I stand corrected anyway… was yvonne annette lively recently featured on cbcc? She talked about how debt and credit fuel the economy. She’s a bit pricy but better safe than not right?
It is crucial for the us to control OPEC. If the us loses control of opec and opec does not require countries to purchase their oil and gas in dollars, the dollar plummets and the us is no longer able to print money as much as it wants. That is also why Saudi Arabia and other countries are scared to no longer require USD, because there might be a slew of regime changes...

BRICS seeks to create a new currency, considering gold's historical role as a store of value and medium of exchange. However, the functionality and acceptance of a gold-backed currency in the current global financial system are uncertain. Creating a new currency requires careful consideration of economic, political, and logistical factors.
The discussions and proposals surrounding BRICS nations' potential use of gold are intriguing.

No China eventually seeks to replace the US and usurp global military/economic hegemony. They're just patient and they know that history is likely on their side. Would that make for a better world? No.

instead of preparing for the injection of labour into the world economy with china's entry to the WTO, the US went around in pointless rampages in the middle east instead. that's the reason why they have structural unemployment now that caused the rise of right wing populism and anger against foreign countries 'stealing' their jobs from them.

The US philosophy inherited from the colonial age: Only me can be rich, others must stay poor!
Americans stayed in their bubble of the 90s. This off-beat vision no longer allows this country to compete with China, which has the following incomparable assets: - Medium and long-term vision - Technological innovations - Global and national supply chains - Human capital - Competitive spirit - Labour power
This was one of the best interviews regarding the US China relations that I've seen for a while! Well done!
it's a joke interview from a fake intellectual bought by the dictatorships to pretend it's normal for citizens to have no rights and that countries that are not dictatorships should help them start a war against us.

South China sea. What's China doing there. Is that in the interest of the rest of ASEA? Expanding past exclusive economic zones into other sovereign exclusive economic zones should be condoned? That's a huge oversight missed here, and a major catalyst in relations between the Western values and Autocracies
It’s called the South China Sea, not the South America Sea. What is the US doing there? Is their presence in the interest of ASEAN?
USA needs to worry about its own people and quit starring up wars.
The American people currently is Washington DCs biggest threat .
Chyna needs to quit dumping its citizens abroad meanwhile you can’t become a citizen of CCP Chyna.

Why would you want to contain China? Shouldn't it be the US that needs to be contained? I must say this is truly a genius propaganda.

A lot of usa irrationality is explained by it’s inherent racism.
The US is quite frankly one of if not the least racist country on the planet.
As well as ethnocentric superiority.
I would say racism from who controls the media. Culture and views could change through education.
In all honesty, although the U.S. government is concerned about China, the people of the US aren't concerned about China at all.
Every time the US government says that it is concerned about a country, that country would turn into the stone age and millions displaced or killed, by you-know-who.
True. Except some people who blindly believe the government but the average educated American isn’t. China is a nice holiday destination. The trade wars don’t help the rest of the world.

Yes, if this is the case but in reality, the CCP is not doing this, they engage in underhand methods to destroy the US. You go and do deep research and you will find out.

Why "contain" China. Just be friendly with each other geez.
The US has very little to offer countries in the emerging markets. The US economy is all about money laundering and has little to offer them in the way of goods and services that they need. The US devotes a huge amount of its GDP to making and selling arms to other countries while taking on under armed countries like Afganistan that can't fight back. US tax dollars go to maintaining the US hegemony while the rest of the world moves. It's very sad but it is what it is and the rest of the world is waking up to the fact that the US isn't a true friend to anyone.

Where my continent Africa is concerned, you'll hear a lot of negative comments concerning the Afro-Chinese partnership, but the reality is that this partnership has brought about more benefits in a few decades than over a century with the West for instance. People will cite the narrative of Chinese exploitation of Africa but the West aren't doing better either, plus, any dealings by Africa with any one who's not the West is always termed as exploitation. This I guess because the West doesn't know any other way to deal with Africa.
exactly, they're projecting

Its great listening to Dr Kishore Mahubani.. such a knowledgable person explaining current matters calmly and eloquently 👍👏👏
Hello CCP Wumao
US needs to engage with the BRICS and others and if it fails to continue it's drive for global hegemony it will fail economically and in every other way. Sadly, neither US political party is willing to depart from the current path so I predict that there will be rough sailing in years ahead for those of us in the USA.
Thank you for this highly responsible view.
It's utterly immoral to wish ill upon someone who didn't wrong you. What I'm hearing is voices of those with evil in their heart and soul to wishing China would collapse some day. It's like wishing a player drop dead in the middle of a poker game because he beats you one hand after another even the deck is rigged against him.
Well spoken answers and well asked questions!
I agree americas foreign policy has been a disarter along with European fermentation. But asean isnt being terribly successfully with their "all inclusive " model either. We still have china claiming all of the south china seas and majorly treatening taiwan and india!! So what is the answer??
Militarily, it's still 800 US bases overseas versus China's 1 base in Djibouti. US patrols warships through the Taiwan Strait and will fight China over Taiwan, versus China only occasionally appearing off the coast of Alaska. So, the problem is that America can still show off its asymmetrical power if it wants. And unfortunately, the NATO engagement with Russia is creating a steady blueprint for war between nuclear powers, including a Sino-US war. But in the end, like Mahbubani says, is Europe's goal to have an angry Russia and destabilized continent for the next century? Clearly, Asia doesn't want to be war-torn just to prop up US hegemony for another 80 years. But I do wonder when I see Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, India, Australia all leaning into an anti-China stance with the US, including upping military games and hosting troops, if too many are simply leaning into the US bipolar framework and helping make war inevitable.
So that is they steal and invading countries to afford those millions of bases
Challenging the United States global position makes war inevitable.
It is about keeping the world order. If China invades Taiwan, what you'd do? Nothing right? The US, is keeping that from happening.
@@logic-ally last I checked, China is invading countries, installing puppet regime and steal resources
Wolf warrior diplomacy did not do China any favours, and in that time they lost ground in international partnerships even with Trump wasting four years. China's loose alliance with Russia, and Russia's alliance with Iran and North Korea, paints China in a bad light in terms of international tension with Western nations and Western allies. An angry Russia is a substantial burden to Europe and NATO, but an isolated Russia is potentially a very useful junior partner for the CCP's strategic vision. The US-Taiwan issue can be interpreted entirely in terms of TSMC and the silicon shield. Without TSMC, Taiwan would have gone the same route as Hong Kong. TSMC is of strategic importance to both USA and China, and critically important to the rest of the world, too. China blockade of Taiwan in 5 years seems likely, and worrying. China appears to have very few happy neighbours, but ASEAN countries are right to look for peaceful trade relationships with the most powerful economy in the region. Neither US nor Chinese dominance is likely, so the best we can all hope for is an uneasy balance of power which might become a stable stalemate.
the world must act to contain USA
It is the best suggestion.
I am sure it will happen!
@@michaelchen4879 I'm sure the US will force the world to make it happen- it will continue pushing the world to the verge of WW3, trying to destroy and usurp other nations, backing fascists, terrorists, and extremists of all kinds- until the world finally contains the American threat.
