@Moonland Almond you got it wrong completely, kishore is a honest INJUN who will never work for China , unlike you- a disgruntled employee .. kishore has too many assets in USA!
It is a great interview and discussion. I am delighted to hear about India can really play a significant role in world politics and it is high time to seize the opportunity. India must behave as a fully autonomous independent large country and should craft its own destiny, not to be swayed by others. Kishore M. provided amazing insights to the world of today.
Yeah the platform where China is praised the comments become fair and open minded and where it is criticised the comments become dumb irrespective of the audience right . I get your point.
Congratulations and thanks for getting Kishore Mahbubani of Singapore to share his deep knowledge and insight of Asia. Honestly it's worth every minute listening to him.
Finally someone talking about China with some real understanding of China. Glad SG decided to go for an alternate narrative which is based on data and personal experience, not just wishful thinking and ignorant hatred.
_"Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."_ -Frost. I'd like to ask the Indian audience a question: If I make you a millionaire for life and for generations to come in exchange for 1% of your worst barren land, are you willing to take my offer? From being on PAR with India in the 1980s to having its economy increase fivefold over India 40 years later. Why? what did China do? I think the most important reason is China made peace with its enemies and rivals incl the US in 1972, Japan soon after, and Russia in the 1990s, etc. by making huge national sacrifices. By the end of the1990s, China has either resolved or deferred border disputes with its 14 neighboring countries, all except India that is. During the process, China stopped arguing with Russia over the disputed 350,000 square miles (910,000 km^2) of Chinese territory, delineate boundaries, and stopped claiming Sakhalin, Vladivostok, and many previously Chinese territories; Deferred territorial disputes with Japan; and even gave Vietnam Bạch Long Vĩ, an island that was undisputedly Chinese, and half of Baekdu Mountain and surrounding areas to North Korea. China also slowed down pursuing Taiwan until very recently. Can China and India find a path to resolve their border dispute? Well, ask yourself this question if you're an Indian: Do I prefer a piece of barren land in Aksai Chin अक्साई चिन to a national economy the same size as China's every year for the rest of India's future? given that India has already taken China's Arunachal Pradesh अरुणाचल प्रदेश and China has mostly kept silent about it and India's annexation of the Kingdom of Sikkim? Ask yourself if you are willing to give up your life for a piece of land your fellow Indians are not even going to live on after you donated yours. If the answer is no, then please don't expect others to donate theirs. Conclusion: no more human lives sacrificed for land, We need world peace, life is short, and it's not worth dying because of land. If there is anything India can learn from China. I think this is the biggest lesson: That you have to give up something in order to gain something, no pain, no gain. India will get nowhere before it makes the critical and crucial choice: Land or Economy, one or the other, not both. The saddest thing is most people in this world, especially in India, are fretting over trivials while missing the big secret to prosperity and tremendous wealth. I predict many Indians are going to start arguing with me for instance, to whom Arunachal Pradesh अरुणाचल प्रदेश belongs. If so, you obviously are not getting my message. I don't know about India and what it will become, but I know for sure that one day China will be so far ahead of the rest of the world that it will not even lift a finger to take back what is rightfully its own, including Taiwan and other previously forsaken lands from Russia, India, Japan, and the United States, b/c it has shedded its burdens and taken the road less traveled ≈ the road with least resistance. India has come to the crossroad again, none can stop it from choosing to follow the mainstream and travel with The Himalayas on its shoulders but I am simply here to point out it doesn't have to.☮

Simple but clear Conversation. Everyone will enjoy such talk rather than fearfully trying to analyse issue that are so heavily political and sensitive.
Extremely important interview. Prof. Mahbubani outlook, thinking and talent of looking an issue from multiple angles is superb, valuable and makes lot of sense.

Apart from the part that says 'how India becomes a security council member', which was too simplistic to say the least, the interview was fantastic. Thank you Kishore Mahbubani and The Print.
India can't make any weapons on its own. Wanting to be in the security council is like wanting to host the Olympics when India isn't good at any sports. 🤣
India will naturally become a security concil member when it is strong enough, and if India is that strong, to become a permanant member won't even matter, so the fundamental problem here is, how to make india strong, not a title.
@@wonderlander China will veto it. There is no "naturally" becoming a UN security member. 🤣 It is not a wound that naturally heals. Just as Indian problems will not naturally solve itselves. No wonder Indians talk so much. You are just waiting. China is now 6x your economy, it used to be 5x. 🤣
@@edwardtang1977 delete it please, you are an embarrasement, I am Chinese, you don't even regognize "lau" as a chinese surname? what the f**k. How stupid you are. You failed in pretending to be Chinese. India is our neighbour, we pursue peace among neighbours, what the F**k are you doing here? and who the f**k is "we"? Who do you work for? What do you want? a war between neignbours? so you can benefit?
India has exported the best to China and that is it’s philosophy and religion, Buddha was Indian, what the West took from India is their brightest human capital, Kishore on another interview suggested the Indian gov must attract their best back to help build India, Kishore is amazing, he help make a swamp into an admirable country. Now he is sharing his wisdom, cherish every word
This is a critical and seminal discussion. This debate must be taken forward by the Print with many more discussions with further experts. We need to create public opinion on India taking a role commensurate with its true status and heft. India must play a much bigger, voluntarily adopted role in global theater. It is time we stopped being diffident and temperementally detached from taking up roles which the civilized world actually expects us to do. We can't complain that the world does not listen to us , we have to state our case and assume responsibility. The world will be grateful and relieved.
Kishore Mahbubani has said a lot in a few words. The visit by dignitaries and diplomats from the west is a welcome sign. The visit by the Chinese FM a bit of a surprise since it was without the hype. The Chinese position on the boundary being more or less the same as 60 years back has only one major factor which is different namely the CPEC. If the LAC is agreed to by both countries and peace established it would be good. However talks if held would going by past experience go on for a few years. The war in Ukraine may in the interim lead to a slightly different world. All countries including India and China are waiting before they take any major decision. However right now we are in a sweet spot and more importantly a foreign minister who is adept at handling the fast changing situation and doing a very good job
Professor Kishore is man of great wisdom and knowledge, the world needs more people like him to understand different countries and cultures to bring world peace and harmony. Keep doing a great job, and long live Kishore!!
It's time we recognised our blunders re border with China and settle these issues via an open give and take mindset. Agree with Prof. Mahbubani on that completely.
While there is merit in what he said about resolving disputes with China, it's not that simple. China's support for Pakistan would continue to be a thorn in India-China relationship and until we work on both these fronts, we won't be able to reach those heights.
@@ArghyadeepPal China has always been keen to resolve the border issue. After the 1962 war the Chinese even offered a give and take they offered to give up claim on arunachal Pradesh and India should give up its claim on aksai Chin but any guesses who refused.
A fascinating interview of a very intelligent, pragmatic, courageous and forward looking diplomat with the most progressive ideas & the foresight to propose workable & deliverable solutions, the world would be wise to understand & follow his advice together with his Asian wisdom.
Mr.Kishore Mahbubani is a world class geopolitical expert, thank you for such good explaination. The World will be safer and peaceful if more peoples could have such high mentality like you.
59:30 ”If there is one country that actually wants a peaceful world, it is China." Indeed, Chinese people are peace-loving people. because we have gone through so many wars and turmoils in our long history.
Threatening the global position of the United States as the number one economy will guarantee you an apocalyptic world where mankind is destroyed in nuclear war.
The loss of the U$ reserve currency status will also push US below India and ASEAN economies, US will try to start wars in the region to maintain their hegemony
Well done the Print for getting prof Mahbubani. India should not be afraid of China or RCEP as he said. India should allow its tremendous wealth of human capital to benefit from the massive trade market afforded by the RCEP (and BRI)
I really didn't know what to watch on TV news as i was bored with all the shouting on TVs ...so just read only print media and economic times. Now most of the times, i wach shekhar gupta. Thank you for starting " the print" and bringing all these interesting things you bring to us.
Amazing conversation on The Print from SG. Who better for India and China to listen to than Kishore Mahbubani, an Indian [edit] Singaporean [edit] with a consistent, strategic, peaceful, development-focused, global perspective on the issues?
Everything this man says makes sense. We should not blindly trust any country, The US or China. Proudly alone, that's the best way forward. A billion people should not take sides, they are a side.
Finally a man honest enough to call out the anti intellectual movement in the US and the west . One suspects that one of the indicators of a fall of a mordern culture is the preference for ideological purity and ideological presentational beauty over excellence and Intellectual brilliance.
I am not sure there's much "honesty" involved. There's plenty of recognition and discussion in the US itself on the anti-intellectual movement. I have to say in the American context, there is a long tradition of anti-intellectualism and contrarianism. So these aren't unprecedented things either.
The WHOLE WORLD will be relieved WHEN the evil empire falls. All the normal people of the world, the true FREE world, will be HAPPY and CELEBRATE in the streets!!!!!!!!
Shekhar, thank you for bringing Kishore into this program! He is an outstanding intellectual who has a good grasp of the international affairs in relation to China today. India's most important relationship in this century is with the People's Republic of China!. At present China is the biggest trading partner of India and is the country that can help India rebuild its crumbling and outdated infrastructure. European Union or USA is not willing to or capable of helping India upgrade is infrastructure. In fact they have covertly and sometimes overtly tried successfully to prevent India's rise in the world. Indian political leadership's challenge is to find ways to work with China against the advice it is given by the bureaucracy (babus who are westward looking/us green card dreaming) who always tilt towards the west for obvious reasons! It is a sad reality that India's foreign policy is drafted with a form nod from Washington, DC and economic policy from New York Investment Banks.
Always love mr Kishore talk interesting challenging true words from his past experience hope after this talk leaders pls think about their people , economy, freedom, peace
Great that Prof. Mahbubani is trying very hard to be the reasonable moderator for resolution between India n China border impasse, other than economic n geopolitical objectives such as getting s UN permanent security seat.., however there are 2 critical imperatives that influence one another 1 the political leaders must be pragmatic to avoid using the convenience of EMOTIONAL NATIONALISM TO STAY IN POWER .. as Prof. Mahbubani stated ... that implied start to act STATESMANSHIP to claim its role as a world leader..( tell the truth that Chinese leaders has already offered twice to resolve the border conflict but Indian leaders ignored especially by Nehru !) 2. The public intellectuals must drive the narrative for pragmatism so the public space will have enlightenment about the pragmatism to work with China economically n strategically as neighbour one has no choice but to live with..( India need the finance to develop its infrastructures before it can expand it industries.. as Prof. Mentioned a mistake for not joining RCEP n lol the answer from this editor host is because of China, he is not the only one that have the same answer given ... Why so afraid of China ....just infer how China eventually can fight with USA starting with economics while military may come later..). In my opinion, India should start to be more active in BRICS, join RCEP n more participative in ASEAN n eventually the BRI ( before India could initiate it's own Indian Global Infrastructure Finance Initiative by learning how new concepts in multilateral relationship could be nurtured ..
My take is that India must not rush into any block treaties. All alliances should be handled bilaterally. This would give India the advantage to pick & choose what is good for them.
Very interesting discussion, particularly the dissonance in "who gets a sphere of influence and who does not". I believe the rationality and logic you posit should be the rule, exceptionalism trumps it every time regardless of which culture makes the play. Maybe on Vulcan, but not on Earth. As always, wonderful discussion and perspective.
Very well advanced by Dr Kishore our option for settling our border issue logical and sound. There is no national advantage in military stand off with China . The existing LAC can be taken as basis of fin settlement . Ler our versatile FM take up this cue Indian Military Veterans
The problem with India is all political parties will rally the public to go against any border settlements ( of course doing it to their's political advantage). So no PM is dare to make the peaceful move. Only thing that China/India agrees on, is they were both looted by the British. Now how you settle with the recovered looted items?.
Kissinger has said that US's mistake was pushing China and Russia together. US should have studied the differences between China and Russia more closely to drive them apart. Divide and rule, so to speak. This has always been in the playbook of colonialism and neo-colonialism. As long as India, Pakistan and China are kept apart, they will be kept weak and can always be played against each other. So, ultimately it's not upon others but yourself to overcome these differences. If the differences cannot be removed, at least ensure they do not prevent mutual benefits through cooperation.
@@Time4Peace it has happened 16 times before the only difference now is that this is the 17th time and we have nuclear weapons. It's called Thucydide's trap, mutually assured destruction will not stop it from happening. Remember all of this is going to happen by the end of the year.
@@beastmode8203 it's strange that your response is not in the thread of conversation. Ok, you said that you would CHOOSE Armageddon because of Thucydides Trap. Are you saying that the Thucydides Trap is avoidable but you (i.e. US) would choose it? It's like you are really looking forward to a preventable global suicide? Just trying to figure out your logic.
Omg. Kishore sir :))! I love hearing him. Edit- 55:34 no way. India never invaded Bangladesh. It was Pakistan doing the genocide and America supported it.
Just like how india has been quite openly supporting & financing russian imperialism and genocide since 1978, when it voted in favor of the soviet invasion of afg at the UN general assembly..
india invaded bangladesh to support the seperatists, because the genocide in east pakistan by the pakistan government. this is also why the us and uk wanted to support pakistan against india to force india to withdraw their troop from east pakistan. fortunately russia intervened to scare of the joint us and uk forces.
Unbelievable persuasive power he have. I was convinced it was good India did not join RCEP. Now after listening his arguments at around 1:00:00 I think we will be losing in capturing market with ASEAN NZ and Australia.
India is going for bilateral pacts as opposed to multilateral pacts. The Chinese will dump their goods and destroy before the indian businesses can wake up and start seriously competing. Indian businesses today don’t have a clue how deep the Chinese manufacturing is and how much support it receives from the Chinese Govt. Indians need to build the capability much more before they can compete with China otherwise they will get squashed like bugs and hence they need to be protected for some more time.
When US was bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, world was NOT in turmoil. Now that European country is suffering, 12% of the world population defined as whole world is worried about it echoing US/EU/NATO narrative. As usual, Prof Mahbubani is very insightful in his analysis. Indian government should use him as advisor. Moderator Shekhar was babbling most of the time. Jaishankar is friends with Prof Mahbubani and he can persuade him.
A very enlightening conversation. The discourse nowadays is too emotionally charged for people to discern the rationale behind a lot of issues plaguing the world.
In regards to points made at 44:55, in the case of China-Japan animosity, to anyone who knows history, this animosity goes back centuries, all the way back to 1500. Back then Japan was a pirate country, always had intentions to invade China since 1500 plus you add the fact that Japan back then was also attacking Korea as well. Also you have the 2 Sino-Japanese wars, one in 1894-5, & second one from 1931-1945 WW2. This is where all the animosity from China towards Japan comes from. The various war crimes committed by Japan in China from 1931-1945. This is also partly why Korea has animosity towards Japan as well, because Korea was also occupied by Japan for 45 brutal years. China was occupied for 14 brutal years by Japan in WW2.
Kishore is amazing, this man was a part of a team who made a swamp into one of the most admirable country in the world, although it’s a small country but one must understand they started with nothing but only with human capital. India exported its philosophy and religion to China, Buddha was Indian, don’t let the west divide, that’s their greatest weapon, don’t let it be
I’d be interested in Prof Mahbubani’s comments on the demographic challenges faced by China with a rapidly aging population and how this will effect their development potential.

@@wonderlander China will veto it. There is no "naturally" becoming a UN security member. 🤣 It is not a wound that naturally heals. Just as Indian problems will not naturally solve itselves. No wonder Indians talk so much. You are just waiting. China is now 6x your economy, it used to be 5x. 🤣
@@edwardtang1977 delete it please, you are an embarrasement,
I am Chinese, you don't even regognize "lau" as a chinese surname?
what the f**k. How stupid you are. You failed in pretending to be Chinese.
India is our neighbour, we pursue peace among neighbours, what the F**k are you doing here?
and who the f**k is "we"?
Who do you work for?
What do you want?
a war between neignbours?
so you can benefit?
This is a eye opener conversation 👍
We need to learn as much as possible about our neighbour china.
Keep going #theprint
China has learnt a lot from Japan.
India has exported the best to China and that is it’s philosophy and religion, Buddha was Indian, what the West took from India is their brightest human capital, Kishore on another interview suggested the Indian gov must attract their best back to help build India, Kishore is amazing, he help make a swamp into an admirable country. Now he is sharing his wisdom, cherish every word
Great conversation. Thought provoking. Perspective shifter. Thoroughly enjoyed.
This is a critical and seminal discussion. This debate must be taken forward by the Print with many more discussions with further experts. We need to create public opinion on India taking a role commensurate with its true status and heft. India must play a much bigger, voluntarily adopted role in global theater. It is time we stopped being diffident and temperementally detached from taking up roles which the civilized world actually expects us to do. We can't complain that the world does not listen to us , we have to state our case and assume responsibility. The world will be grateful and relieved.
My respect for Dr Kishore Mahbubani's wisdom.
Kishore Mahbubani has said a lot in a few words. The visit by dignitaries and diplomats from the west is a welcome sign. The visit by the Chinese FM a bit of a surprise since it was without the hype. The Chinese position on the boundary being more or less the same as 60 years back has only one major factor which is different namely the CPEC. If the LAC is agreed to by both countries and peace established it would be good. However talks if held would going by past experience go on for a few years. The war in Ukraine may in the interim lead to a slightly different world. All countries including India and China are waiting before they take any major decision. However right now we are in a sweet spot and more importantly a foreign minister who is adept at handling the fast changing situation and doing a very good job
Seriously a masterclass on geopolitics!!
These are 2 of the Best Asian Intellectuals who speaks Clearly on True facts.
Two voices of Reason. I learn a lot by listening
Professor Kishore is man of great wisdom and knowledge, the world needs more people like him to understand different countries and cultures to bring world peace and harmony. Keep doing a great job, and long live Kishore!!
It's time we recognised our blunders re border with China and settle these issues via an open give and take mindset. Agree with Prof. Mahbubani on that completely.
While there is merit in what he said about resolving disputes with China, it's not that simple. China's support for Pakistan would continue to be a thorn in India-China relationship and until we work on both these fronts, we won't be able to reach those heights.
India is doing on her side to resolve the border issue, but the question remains, is China doing the same? I don't think so.
@@ArghyadeepPal China has always been keen to resolve the border issue. After the 1962 war the Chinese even offered a give and take they offered to give up claim on arunachal Pradesh and India should give up its claim on aksai Chin but any guesses who refused.
A fascinating interview of a very intelligent, pragmatic, courageous and forward looking diplomat with the most progressive ideas & the foresight to propose workable & deliverable solutions, the world would be wise to understand & follow his advice together with his Asian wisdom.
Very enlightening and engrossing conversation. Did not even realize that it lasted over an hour... Thank You.
Mr.Kishore Mahbubani is a world class geopolitical expert, thank you for such good explaination. The World will be safer and peaceful if more peoples could have such high mentality like you.
59:30 ”If there is one country that actually wants a peaceful world, it is China." Indeed, Chinese people are peace-loving people.
because we have gone through so many wars and turmoils in our long history.
Threatening the global position of the United States as the number one economy will guarantee you an apocalyptic world where mankind is destroyed in nuclear war.
One of the finest conversations I have watched Mr Kishore is an extremely intelligent person and he must be the advisor to the Indian government.
No, the core group in India is under the US control.
He is a pro Chinese,
@@josephrozario6153 no. he is pro peace.
@@josephrozario6153 He is a rational thinker
Absolutely a Master Class in Geopolitics....great SG....best choice for a guest...
Thank you Shekhar for bringing him.
thank you!. Search for "agent of influence Kishore, Huang jing". Kishore just want india to join RCEP to help his china to grow.
Thank you for your simple explanation & crystal clear!
Thanks Print for bringing great persons for interview.
Wonderful interview. Really enjoyed.
Thank you so much The Print Team.....
The loss of the U$ reserve currency status will also push US below India and ASEAN economies, US will try to start wars in the region to maintain their hegemony
Now that is a far stretch. Remember US is still the second biggest manufacturing powerhouse
China's not allowed to take our place. We will end the world, we will choose suicide. We would rather die in a nuclear war than accept otherwise.
Kishore is right, nothing is too late, not even d Elephant 🇮🇳 n Dragon 🇨🇳 border dispute, when it comes to diplomacy.
Well done the Print for getting prof Mahbubani.
India should not be afraid of China or RCEP as he said.
India should allow its tremendous wealth of human capital to benefit from the massive trade market afforded by the RCEP (and BRI)
FANTASTIC!!! Thank you Sir. I have learned much more about regional and international geo politics today than ever
I really didn't know what to watch on TV news as i was bored with all the shouting on TVs ...so just read only print media and economic times.
Now most of the times, i wach shekhar gupta. Thank you for starting " the print" and bringing all these interesting things you bring to us.
Very encouraging discussion. Kishore's view on India joining RCEP is valid
Amazing conversation on The Print from SG. Who better for India and China to listen to than Kishore Mahbubani, an Indian [edit] Singaporean [edit] with a consistent, strategic, peaceful, development-focused, global perspective on the issues?
Everything this man says makes sense. We should not blindly trust any country, The US or China. Proudly alone, that's the best way forward.
A billion people should not take sides, they are a side.
Finally a man honest enough to call out the anti intellectual movement in the US and the west . One suspects that one of the indicators of a fall of a mordern culture is the preference for ideological purity and ideological presentational beauty over excellence and Intellectual brilliance.
Couldn't agree more, and it makes me sad that India is going the same way.
I am not sure there's much "honesty" involved. There's plenty of recognition and discussion in the US itself on the anti-intellectual movement. I have to say in the American context, there is a long tradition of anti-intellectualism and contrarianism. So these aren't unprecedented things either.
As always, Kishore is Strategic
& Brilliant
I am visiting China since 1987 and since then 200 times, I know China and their abilities and resolve.
China is a paper tiger.
The WHOLE WORLD will be relieved WHEN the evil empire falls. All the normal people of the world, the true FREE world, will be HAPPY and CELEBRATE in the streets!!!!!!!!
Well narrated, we like more of these. Today I would subscribe to Print
Shekhar, thank you for bringing Kishore into this program! He is an outstanding intellectual who has a good grasp of the international affairs in relation to China today. India's most important relationship in this century is with the People's Republic of China!. At present China is the biggest trading partner of India and is the country that can help India rebuild its crumbling and outdated infrastructure. European Union or USA is not willing to or capable of helping India upgrade is infrastructure. In fact they have covertly and sometimes overtly tried successfully to prevent India's rise in the world. Indian political leadership's challenge is to find ways to work with China against the advice it is given by the bureaucracy (babus who are westward looking/us green card dreaming) who always tilt towards the west for obvious reasons! It is a sad reality that India's foreign policy is drafted with a form nod from Washington, DC and economic policy from New York Investment Banks.
Very pleasing for all the Indians listen . Great dialogue
Clearly a very bright spark this Kishore Mahbubani. Great enlightening words
I love this conversation. Absolutely well done. 👏
Always love mr Kishore talk interesting challenging true words from his past experience hope after this talk leaders pls think about their people , economy, freedom, peace
Absolutely wonderful analysis
Amazing episode! SG never fails to bring diversity to OTC.
India and China must find ways to have lasting good relationship...
You have indians brainwashed to hate china.
TFGLOBAL and WION.
Great that Prof. Mahbubani is trying very hard to be the reasonable moderator for resolution between India n China border impasse, other than economic n geopolitical objectives such as getting s UN permanent security seat.., however there are 2 critical imperatives that influence one another
1 the political leaders must be pragmatic to avoid using the convenience of EMOTIONAL NATIONALISM TO STAY IN POWER .. as Prof. Mahbubani stated ... that implied start to act STATESMANSHIP to claim its role as a world leader..( tell the truth that Chinese leaders has already offered twice to resolve the border conflict but Indian leaders ignored especially by Nehru !)
2. The public intellectuals must drive the narrative for pragmatism so the public space will have enlightenment about the pragmatism to work with China economically n strategically as neighbour one has no choice but to live with..( India need the finance to develop its infrastructures before it can expand it industries.. as Prof. Mentioned a mistake for not joining RCEP n lol the answer from this editor host is because of China, he is not the only one that have the same answer given ... Why so afraid of China ....just infer how China eventually can fight with USA starting with economics while military may come later..).
In my opinion, India should start to be more active in BRICS, join RCEP n more participative in ASEAN n eventually the BRI ( before India could initiate it's own Indian Global Infrastructure Finance Initiative by learning how new concepts in multilateral relationship could be nurtured ..
It's such an intellectual feast to hear greats. Had fun
Awesome interview. Really enjoyed it.
My take is that India must not rush into any block treaties. All alliances should be handled bilaterally. This would give India the advantage to pick & choose what is good for them.
India has ensured that everyone stays in their place. By maintaining positive relations with everyone.
Very interesting discussion, particularly the dissonance in "who gets a sphere of influence and who does not". I believe the rationality and logic you posit should be the rule, exceptionalism trumps it every time regardless of which culture makes the play. Maybe on Vulcan, but not on Earth. As always, wonderful discussion and perspective.
He truly is a masterclass in geopolitics.
Great conversation between two gentlemen. Sorry to see less viewers than a normal The Print episode though.
Hat off to Kishore Mahnumani, a highly intelligent academic. It is a pity that he is not in politics where people with his calibre is rare.
Very well advanced by Dr Kishore our option for settling our border issue logical and sound. There is no national advantage in military stand off with China . The existing LAC can be taken as basis of fin settlement . Ler our versatile FM take up this cue Indian Military Veterans
The problem with India is all political parties will rally the public to go against any border settlements ( of course doing it to their's political advantage). So no PM is dare to make the peaceful move. Only thing that China/India agrees on, is they were both looted by the British. Now how you settle with the recovered looted items?.
Fascinating conversation, Shekhar.
Chinese worked 20 hour days to get US dollars which are now a weapon for the US.
India should avoid this lesson and keep savings outside dollars
So many insights. Great interview 🎊🎊
I love listening to this guy
Absolutely magnificent
Well done Shekar!
Kissinger has said that US's mistake was pushing China and Russia together. US should have studied the differences between China and Russia more closely to drive them apart. Divide and rule, so to speak.
This has always been in the playbook of colonialism and neo-colonialism.
As long as India, Pakistan and China are kept apart, they will be kept weak and can always be played against each other.
So, ultimately it's not upon others but yourself to overcome these differences. If the differences cannot be removed, at least ensure they do not prevent mutual benefits through cooperation.
If you haven't noticed we will choose Armageddon.
@@beastmode8203 Interesting reply. Why do you choose Armageddon? Isn't that suicide for humanity?
@@Time4Peace it has happened 16 times before the only difference now is that this is the 17th time and we have nuclear weapons. It's called Thucydide's trap, mutually assured destruction will not stop it from happening. Remember all of this is going to happen by the end of the year.
@@beastmode8203 it's strange that your response is not in the thread of conversation. Ok, you said that you would CHOOSE Armageddon because of Thucydides Trap. Are you saying that the Thucydides Trap is avoidable but you (i.e. US) would choose it? It's like you are really looking forward to a preventable global suicide? Just trying to figure out your logic.
that is some real interesting, informative worth listening an hour talk.
Omg. Kishore sir :))! I love hearing him.
Edit- 55:34 no way. India never invaded Bangladesh. It was Pakistan doing the genocide and America supported it.
Just like how india has been quite openly supporting & financing russian imperialism and genocide since 1978, when it voted in favor of the soviet invasion of afg at the UN general assembly..
india invaded bangladesh to support the seperatists, because the genocide in east pakistan by the pakistan government. this is also why the us and uk wanted to support pakistan against india to force india to withdraw their troop from east pakistan. fortunately russia intervened to scare of the joint us and uk forces.
Yeah just like russia never invaded ukraine, just military operation
True, India never invaded Bangladesh, India actually invaded East Pakistan, not Bangladesh... 😜🤣
@@Liboch WhatsApp university graduates.
Wonderful discussion..
So proud of you Prof Kishore Mahbubani, your knowledge of worldly matters is simply amazing, factual and unbiased.
Very interesting and informative. Am happy that I am a paid subscriber 😄🙏🏻
This was a great discussion, open and unbiased, though not necessarily agreeing with all the points.
Unbelievable persuasive power he have. I was convinced it was good India did not join RCEP. Now after listening his arguments at around 1:00:00 I think we will be losing in capturing market with ASEAN NZ and Australia.
India is going for bilateral pacts as opposed to multilateral pacts. The Chinese will dump their goods and destroy before the indian businesses can wake up and start seriously competing. Indian businesses today don’t have a clue how deep the Chinese manufacturing is and how much support it receives from the Chinese Govt. Indians need to build the capability much more before they can compete with China otherwise they will get squashed like bugs and hence they need to be protected for some more time.
Two of my favourite intellects on for an hour! It was intellectual heaven ✨️
When US was bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, world was NOT in turmoil. Now that European country is suffering, 12% of the world population defined as whole world is worried about it echoing US/EU/NATO narrative. As usual, Prof Mahbubani is very insightful in his analysis. Indian government should use him as advisor. Moderator Shekhar was babbling most of the time. Jaishankar is friends with Prof Mahbubani and he can persuade him.
it's because the us is threatening the world to take action against russia.
Great interview.
A very enlightening conversation. The discourse nowadays is too emotionally charged for people to discern the rationale behind a lot of issues plaguing the world.
Totally agree
yup. Search for "agent of influence Kishore, Huang jing". Kishore just want india to join RCEP to help his china to grow.
In regards to points made at 44:55, in the case of China-Japan animosity, to anyone who knows history, this animosity goes back centuries, all the way back to 1500. Back then Japan was a pirate country, always had intentions to invade China since 1500 plus you add the fact that Japan back then was also attacking Korea as well. Also you have the 2 Sino-Japanese wars, one in 1894-5, & second one from 1931-1945 WW2. This is where all the animosity from China towards Japan comes from. The various war crimes committed by Japan in China from 1931-1945. This is also partly why Korea has animosity towards Japan as well, because Korea was also occupied by Japan for 45 brutal years. China was occupied for 14 brutal years by Japan in WW2.
CIA,Soros n Nato had been preparing Ukraine for many years with NATO weapons n personnels
Very clear and objective view, thanks from Russia.
Time well spent wow loved this interview!
Kishore is amazing, this man was a part of a team who made a swamp into one of the most admirable country in the world, although it’s a small country but one must understand they started with nothing but only with human capital. India exported its philosophy and religion to China, Buddha was Indian, don’t let the west divide, that’s their greatest weapon, don’t let it be
Shekhar sir i love your videos 🙏
I’d be interested in Prof Mahbubani’s comments on the demographic challenges faced by China with a rapidly aging population and how this will effect their development potential.
