US is extending Not Influence but Exploitation and Robbing of foreign countries of its resources that's why US has built over 1200 military bases All Ok very The World🌎!!
China is the threat here, Russia and its atrocieties in Ukraine is the best and the latest example of that, all authoritarian regimes are the global threat, they almsot spread their atrocities beyond their own borders when they gain more global power. jsut iamgaine if there was no US global military presence, what would Putler do to Ukraine and other nations, the same is ture with Xitler and China.
This video highlights the two vastly different philosophies to nation building. The US builds military bases, 760 of them, and more on the way, while China builds ports to move goods around the world. The US's priority is to dominate the world via military presence, while China attempts to dominate the world's commerce. The choice is stark. For the west, they have chosen the US for the fear of an Asian country dominating them. Mind you, they were once dominating Asia, and they were rather comfortable with that. For "the rest" of the world, ie. the developing and non western allied world, they chose China, because their national interests don't collide with China's. They wanted goods to be traded between themselves and the rest of the world, and sea transportation is much preferable because it is cheaper. So Chinese's ambition doesn't impinge those non-western nations' interest, but rather enhancing it. That of course won't be agreeable with the US because those "the rest" of the world are voting with their feet, and picked China instead of the US. So what can the US do? Well, there are many if past records are anything to go by. (1). Sanctions (2). Talk up the Chinese threats (3). Block and threaten any country which dare to disobey America's directives. (4). Build more military bases. But money doesn't grow on trees. For the US, money does grow out of printers, and of course selling more bonds, meaning borrowing. Ironically, China is one of the US's major creditors. So China lends money to the US to build more military bases to encircle itself. It makes zero sense. Meanwhile, US politicians are arguing if they should borrow even more in order to pay the interest and to pay for the military which boost the US's mojo.
Great comment. I believe China continues to loan money because they know the US is getting close to a hyper inflationary collapse. Rendering all those military bases useless. Idk.
Not exactly, you should do some research on who or which county has been protecting the WORLD sea trade lanes for decades allowing for unhindered trade or globalization. Who invited the CCP into the WTO literally championing them as a world manufacturer? That is a very naive or better yet simple way of looking at it. You seem to being missing the some points, China is literally benefitting from all "bad" bases the US has built for a reason and have been for decades. This is the world we live in, people watch UA-cam, soak up the propaganda they like and comment away without thought or understanding.
Frankly, I trust China more than the US when it comes to building ports around the world, regardless if it's military or commercial. China doesn't go to war all around the globe, the US does.
Helping? You mean give billions and billions for infrastructure project by using its own workforce while refusing to not any hiring locals and using cheap materials for these project. Later the nation who got its billions of loan from cannot pay its debt so China decides to take that project, port, or portion of land for 99 years for chinese interest? You call that helping? No wonder you chinese suck.
here is a solution, instead of trying to destroy what others have built try becoming more industrious your self and built foreign ports. the best revenge is to improve your self.
Can somebody explain how Chinese companies owning a port in the EU or US could possibly be a threat or the host country not take over their operation and nationalise the ports in case of emergency? If they want to own a port fine, but they can't shut it down or make us refuel their military ships. This seems overly dramatic.
As a Myanmar we welcome Chinese ports since US or EU isn't investing in our country. If China wants warships dock there, we fine with that too since US won't invest
@@joemosely9383, Then you tell me how China could possibly make Germany refuel their warships or close down those ports in retaliation? Most planes in Russia are leased from Western companies, so after the invasion, they just kept them rather than giving them back. The ports would be no different.
This propaganda is pure projection. The US has c. 800 foreign military bases; China has ONE. But in its new cold war, Washington is obsessed with trying to crush Beijing economically, so it cynically portrays its trade relations as "national security threats". Ironically, the talking head this video interviewed admitted at 1:16 that China's strategic motivations "are fundamentally defensive" -- but then the rest of the video is warmongering propaganda about the Yellow Peril.

4:10 If it creates more jobs and improves the output of those countries......then it's good. the US shouldn't force its allies to do something that they don't want or it will ruin the alliance and the friendship
It's weird that US capital has so little interest in manufacturing and infrastructure but are willing to throw copious amounts of cash in venture capital investments that haven't had a profitable year on their books.
It is the fallacy of financial realism. Too many American actually believe money has intrinsic value, rather than just representing a claim on resources and capacity. China can make stuff, and America has piles of digital paper representations of claims that canot be enforced.
The financial rate of return is far greater than that of physical enterprises, because physical enterprises have to solve problems such as production, export and management, and the cost and operation are huge
Solar panel costs are low because of China not USA. CATL worlds largest battery manufacturer. From EV batteries to Grid storage batteries. China sees the future more than the USA.
I see the point with the US trying to influence port investments. However, if China tried to do the same there would be uproar. I respect the US, but feel they do not see how it’s foreign policy can provoke other countries and drive them to partner against the west. Ex. Russia and China
West Companies are colonial tool to enrich themselves not undeveloped large or warm country. I hate them, invent patent, trade secret for always and always having edge on technologies.
China doesn’t have weapon billionaires. It doesn’t engage in businesses of coups, colour revolutions, interventions, or wars. It doesn’t need military bases to do business. Recently China earned status of the happiest country, 91% feeling satisfied and happy, 94% public approval for the government, i.e, very successful democracy. China has built the world’s largest public education, healthcare and social security. It has built new infrastructures, transportation, social and cultural facilities all over with conveniences of digital technologies, i.e high level of human rights. It doesn’t have freedom of shootings, opioids, ganglands, homeless, hunger, lie or being lied upon.
The US is interested in weakening other countries and gaining access to resources while creating poverty. China is coming to invest and has uplifted millions of Africans from poverty....Thanks to China my country Kenya now has paved roads everywhere in the country and a high speed Rail line.,,China is also building a brand new port in Kenya called Port of Lamu which is almost complete.
@@k.k.c8670 Whats wrong with deep sea port? What makes you think deep sea port must be used for warship and not be used for trade? if i am host country, i prefer a deep sea port which can help bring in large cargo ship or oil tanker for large trade activities and not shallow port for fishing. If those Chinese can handle and manage the port well, i dont see any problem as long as it follows local law and can bring in trade. Only those people who are suspicious of China will think these ports are solely for warship. I guess those USA licker will think 800 military bases around the world is for peace keeping and not for advance US war interest . 🤣
@@entertainmentjoke2871 I think you misread my intention. Nothing wrong for China to turn some of their commercial ports to naval bases if need be and the host countries are agreeable. After all, the US has 800 of them.
Yeah right ... USA is the *_fake_* beacon of -serfdom- freedom, -despair- hope and -darkness- light for the world ! The USA invert reality & facts and expect the world to believe them.😂 Only one direction for them - the way of the Roman empire ...
0:09 meanwhile, the United States owns 700 military bases all over the world, including in poor countries where their presence has significantly reduced the long-term political security of the entire region (especially in Africa). So many countries are vulnerable to the US
Paranoia over fair competition. The US's militarization would consider toilet paper as a 'National Security' issue since it's used by them and shortages would impede their defence.
China largest importer especially South America and Africa. Building ports and supplying infrastructure help. China very proactive vs reactive with lithium, rare earth metals, nickel, copper, etc. most worlds refining of raw metals completed in China. Amazing from rice paddies to superpower in only 60 years. A force to be reckoned with.
It seems that the message is: for the US politicians to feel safe several neighbours, that are as distant as in Africa, are not allowed to have proper infrastructure vital for their development. If we generalize this idea and allow all countries to be equally entitled to feel safe, then we would go back to become hunters and gatherers.
May I know why that is a concern? Building and operating seems not the same as owning the port? Can they allow military activities without approval, no?
USA is NOT concerned about the Chinese NAVY, they are concerned about Developing Nations growing their economies and improving their living standards via economic cooperation with China.
The US pressures Equatorial Guinea not to accept the Chinese built port, but is incapable of offering a competing bid for the port. Essentially, they want the country to commit economic suicide for no good reason. Absurd.
I think United States could have easily been the leader in commerce and exert real influence through trade instead of spreading military bases that have little real world value and influence on people’s lives
Yeah, the Chinese are not paranoia, racing to build up their military & stealing technology. China is paranoid of a Democratic Island that wants to be free, independent and recognized by the International Community.
Your spies don't like getting caught do they? How about don't spy and develop your own tech instead. Can't even develop a decent covid vaccine. Pathetic.
China builds ports, US and NATO build military bases. US has over 800 military based to project force and submitt others by force. Chinese are not the best but they are a thousand times more human the western colonialists.
The US: literally tries to encircle China with military bases in Japan SK the Philippines Also the US: oh no Equatorial Guinea is too close to the US to have a Chinese port of any sort 😂
China is involved in 95 ports worldwide for trade. The U.S. operates 800 plus military bases worldwide producing noting but a big eater of the U.S. tax revenue.
This is such nonsense! As usual, to understand U.S. posturing, simply "Follow the Money." The US military is not only large enough to eviscerate China's, it is large enough to take on and defeat the remaining global military balance were they all to unite against the US. As more and more countries catch on to the US MIC's profit-driven intentions (Military-Industrial Complex), the plausibility of a global conflict becomes ever more likely.
Yes, but a concern is that MCI munitions production stock is low due to the Ukraine, so if a 2nd or 3rd front emerges there may be serious initial problems.
24.9% means china has no voting rights when it comes to that one terminal. So they cannot influence anything happening on it... Btw Hamburg has 42 terminals in total.
Can US do something for a better world rather than military .. Rest of the countries aware the geopolitics and US intention . China is not interested in military bases but trade cooperation... Is time we need world cooperation to fight climate change before it becomes irreversible
You are literally using U.S. technology by even using UA-cam. And the devices you use, food you consume, most of the innovations in your life - cars, electricity, etc ... all due to the U.S. What has China offered the world? Cheap takeout and kung fu that's about it.
Why does US can’t live in harmonical cooperation with the rest of the world? Why does everything with the US has to be about violent threats? I’m sick of it!

US is extending Not Influence but Exploitation and Robbing of foreign countries of its resources that's why US has built over 1200 military bases All Ok very The World🌎!!

While China is busy building ports for commerce, the USA build overseas military bases, who's the threat to global security here?
China is the threat here, Russia and its atrocieties in Ukraine is the best and the latest example of that, all authoritarian regimes are the global threat, they almsot spread their atrocities beyond their own borders when they gain more global power. jsut iamgaine if there was no US global military presence, what would Putler do to Ukraine and other nations, the same is ture with Xitler and China.

china, clearly, whatever it is that you think.
USA: Military bases with no ROI whatsoever and heading into a national default.
You are absolutely correct !
Most military objects have no ROI until you really really need them.
China: Dictatorship with current genocide in their country
Instead of “counter”, why not “corporate” to make the world a better & friendlier place?
this is the US mentality, which is sick
Instead of democracy losing why not bomb the countries. 25% of all countries bomb by USA, 75% of the world rebuild by china.
This video highlights the two vastly different philosophies to nation building. The US builds military bases, 760 of them, and more on the way, while China builds ports to move goods around the world.
The US's priority is to dominate the world via military presence, while China attempts to dominate the world's commerce. The choice is stark. For the west, they have chosen the US for the fear of an Asian country dominating them. Mind you, they were once dominating Asia, and they were rather comfortable with that.
For "the rest" of the world, ie. the developing and non western allied world, they chose China, because their national interests don't collide with China's. They wanted goods to be traded between themselves and the rest of the world, and sea transportation is much preferable because it is cheaper. So Chinese's ambition doesn't impinge those non-western nations' interest, but rather enhancing it.
That of course won't be agreeable with the US because those "the rest" of the world are voting with their feet, and picked China instead of the US. So what can the US do? Well, there are many if past records are anything to go by.
(1). Sanctions
(2). Talk up the Chinese threats
(3). Block and threaten any country which dare to disobey America's directives.
(4). Build more military bases.
But money doesn't grow on trees. For the US, money does grow out of printers, and of course selling more bonds, meaning borrowing. Ironically, China is one of the US's major creditors. So China lends money to the US to build more military bases to encircle itself. It makes zero sense. Meanwhile, US politicians are arguing if they should borrow even more in order to pay the interest and to pay for the military which boost the US's mojo.
Great comment. I believe China continues to loan money because they know the US is getting close to a hyper inflationary collapse. Rendering all those military bases useless. Idk.
Well said
If it came to war, the US just wouldn’t pay them back, and if anything Japan and our own social security are our biggest creditors.
Not exactly, you should do some research on who or which county has been protecting the WORLD sea trade lanes for decades allowing for unhindered trade or globalization. Who invited the CCP into the WTO literally championing them as a world manufacturer? That is a very naive or better yet simple way of looking at it. You seem to being missing the some points, China is literally benefitting from all "bad" bases the US has built for a reason and have been for decades. This is the world we live in, people watch UA-cam, soak up the propaganda they like and comment away without thought or understanding.
Finally a smart one that knows what these Americans are up to.
Frankly, I trust China more than the US when it comes to building ports around the world, regardless if it's military or commercial. China doesn't go to war all around the globe, the US does.
China's massively ramping up their military spending, so looks like they want to change that.
USA is a bit jealous of China helping other countries.
Helping? You mean give billions and billions for infrastructure project by using its own workforce while refusing to not any hiring locals and using cheap materials for these project. Later the nation who got its billions of loan from cannot pay its debt so China decides to take that project, port, or portion of land for 99 years for chinese interest? You call that helping? No wonder you chinese suck.
China operates civilian commercial ports abroad, the US operates military bases abroad. This sets the tone of each country's character.
Chinese operated ports are among the most efficient in the world, whereas US ports are among the least efficient
who needs port when you can just bomb and steal?
efficient because there are not labor laws.
Why cannot be both? Countries should run their assets with efficiency
The U.S. has about 750 overseas military bases in more than 80 countries.
And why is that? Do you know anything about history?
I think they should add some or many more..
here is a solution, instead of trying to destroy what others have built try becoming more industrious your self and built foreign ports.
the best revenge is to improve your self.
True but wisdom can't be taught to savage war mongers. They must experience their decline first hand to learn.
Can somebody explain how Chinese companies owning a port in the EU or US could possibly be a threat or the host country not take over their operation and nationalise the ports in case of emergency? If they want to own a port fine, but they can't shut it down or make us refuel their military ships. This seems overly dramatic.
It is just ridiculous.. How can this be a thing of pride?
you're overly naive
Compared to 800 US official military bases around the world, China's response (those ports) is highly insignificant.
As a Myanmar we welcome Chinese ports since US or EU isn't investing in our country. If China wants warships dock there, we fine with that too since US won't invest
@@joemosely9383, Then you tell me how China could possibly make Germany refuel their warships or close down those ports in retaliation?
Most planes in Russia are leased from Western companies, so after the invasion, they just kept them rather than giving them back.
The ports would be no different.
This propaganda is pure projection. The US has c. 800 foreign military bases; China has ONE. But in its new cold war, Washington is obsessed with trying to crush Beijing economically, so it cynically portrays its trade relations as "national security threats".
Ironically, the talking head this video interviewed admitted at 1:16 that China's strategic motivations "are fundamentally defensive" -- but then the rest of the video is warmongering propaganda about the Yellow Peril.
America’s constant fear and threat of what other countries “could or might do” is nauseating.
亏心事做多的人最怕遇到鬼敲门了
Its good for weapon sales, and getting countries so depended on you. They have being doing it for years. One big weapon sales man. Create a problem...sell a solution. The fact 90% of the worlds population cant connect the dots is amazing.
These ports could already be in "friendly hands" If the US was more friendly with China. Maybe work on that?

It's weird that US capital has so little interest in manufacturing and infrastructure but are willing to throw copious amounts of cash in venture capital investments that haven't had a profitable year on their books.
It is the fallacy of financial realism. Too many American actually believe money has intrinsic value, rather than just representing a claim on resources and capacity. China can make stuff, and America has piles of digital paper representations of claims that canot be enforced.
Everything is a grift in America!

The US considers chinas ports as a military threat yet they have approx 800 military bases around the world. The irony.
Solar panel costs are low because of China not USA. CATL worlds largest battery manufacturer. From EV batteries to Grid storage batteries. China sees the future more than the USA.
I see the point with the US trying to influence port investments. However, if China tried to do the same there would be uproar.
I respect the US, but feel they do not see how it’s foreign policy can provoke other countries and drive them to partner against the west.
Ex. Russia and China
West Companies are colonial tool to enrich themselves not undeveloped large or warm country.
I hate them, invent patent, trade secret for always and always having edge on technologies.
China doesn’t have weapon billionaires. It doesn’t engage in businesses of coups, colour revolutions, interventions, or wars. It doesn’t need military bases to do business. Recently China earned status of the happiest country, 91% feeling satisfied and happy, 94% public approval for the government, i.e, very successful democracy. China has built the world’s largest public education, healthcare and social security. It has built new infrastructures, transportation, social and cultural facilities all over with conveniences of digital technologies, i.e high level of human rights. It doesn’t have freedom of shootings, opioids, ganglands, homeless, hunger, lie or being lied upon.
Wow... USA is actually scared of real Competition 😂😂😂. They don't like to see another nation going over them especially an Asian nation

Just convert their naval base to port

The US is interested in weakening other countries and gaining access to resources while creating poverty. China is coming to invest and has uplifted millions of Africans from poverty....Thanks to China my country Kenya now has paved roads everywhere in the country and a high speed Rail line.,,China is also building a brand new port in Kenya called Port of Lamu which is almost complete.

@@joemosely9383its fine but stop double standard first

Many are deep sea ports and can very quickly host large destroyers and subs
@@k.k.c8670 Whats wrong with deep sea port? What makes you think deep sea port must be used for warship and not be used for trade? if i am host country, i prefer a deep sea port which can help bring in large cargo ship or oil tanker for large trade activities and not shallow port for fishing. If those Chinese can handle and manage the port well, i dont see any problem as long as it follows local law and can bring in trade. Only those people who are suspicious of China will think these ports are solely for warship. I guess those USA licker will think 800 military bases around the world is for peace keeping and not for advance US war interest . 🤣
@@entertainmentjoke2871 I think you misread my intention. Nothing wrong for China to turn some of their commercial ports to naval bases if need be and the host countries are agreeable. After all, the US has 800 of them.

0:09 meanwhile, the United States owns 700 military bases all over the world, including in poor countries where their presence has significantly reduced the long-term political security of the entire region (especially in Africa). So many countries are vulnerable to the US
Paranoia over fair competition. The US's militarization would consider toilet paper as a 'National Security' issue since it's used by them and shortages would impede their defence.
China largest importer especially South America and Africa. Building ports and supplying infrastructure help. China very proactive vs reactive with lithium, rare earth metals, nickel, copper, etc. most worlds refining of raw metals completed in China. Amazing from rice paddies to superpower in only 60 years. A force to be reckoned with.
Okay China's building ports not military bases.
Americans are worried about a Chinese military base in Africa while the Americans have 200+ military bases surrounding China! 🤣
US Logic: I can build military bases, but you can't build ports
Yeah... A thief always believes everybody steals...
😂😂😂😂😂
ok wumao ... you reveal yourself with your projection
We Lie, We Cheat and We Steal.
It seems that the message is: for the US politicians to feel safe several neighbours, that are as distant as in Africa, are not allowed to have proper infrastructure vital for their development. If we generalize this idea and allow all countries to be equally entitled to feel safe, then we would go back to become hunters and gatherers.
But even then, there would be an American hunter hiding behind trees, shooting arrows at you.
May I know why that is a concern? Building and operating seems not the same as owning the port? Can they allow military activities without approval, no?
So the US has 700 bases around the world and China 1 and this one should worried us all. Tragic.
China builds ports, airports, bridges, hospitals, railroads. The US builds military bases. You chose!
Its nice to see a country showing its true colors. Keep it up keep it spiteful.
They're gonna counter China with gender studies and CRT. Haha
Yeah, China is "winning" by blocking feminism. Way to be on the wrong side of history LOL. Caveman society
USA is NOT concerned about the Chinese NAVY, they are concerned about Developing Nations growing their economies and improving their living standards via economic cooperation with China.
The US pressures Equatorial Guinea not to accept the Chinese built port, but is incapable of offering a competing bid for the port. Essentially, they want the country to commit economic suicide for no good reason. Absurd.
Why don't US just give a better deal then?
I think United States could have easily been the leader in commerce and exert real influence through trade instead of spreading military bases that have little real world value and influence on people’s lives
Arrogance, hubris,war mongering, entitlement etc , I have no sympathy to whatever happens to the US
Knowing history, they would feel more comfortable imposing their will on weak countries, rather than doing that.
The U.S. could have been investing in commercial ports and building partnerships instead they chose regime change and endless wars. 🤦🏾♂
The greatest threat to the world today is US paranoia
Yeah, the Chinese are not paranoia, racing to build up their military & stealing technology.
China is paranoid of a Democratic Island that wants to be free, independent and recognized by the International Community.
Your spies don't like getting caught do they? How about don't spy and develop your own tech instead. Can't even develop a decent covid vaccine. Pathetic.
Print another 32 trillion $$$ to buy out all other ports. Problem solved.

US has over 800 military based to project force and submitt others by force. Chinese are not the best but they are a thousand times more human the western colonialists.

The US: literally tries to encircle China with military bases in Japan SK the Philippines
Also the US: oh no Equatorial Guinea is too close to the US to have a Chinese port of any sort 😂
China is involved in 95 ports worldwide for trade. The U.S. operates 800 plus military bases worldwide producing noting but a big eater of the U.S. tax revenue.
Why don't the AWSJ make a video and tell us how many military ports the US has around the world. And the numbers of military airports too.
US is totally sick, everything is national security
This is such nonsense! As usual, to understand U.S. posturing, simply "Follow the Money."
The US military is not only large enough to eviscerate China's, it is large enough to take on and defeat the remaining global military balance were they all to unite against the US. As more and more countries catch on to the US MIC's profit-driven intentions (Military-Industrial Complex), the plausibility of a global conflict becomes ever more likely.
exactly
Yes, but a concern is that MCI munitions production stock is low due to the Ukraine, so if a 2nd or 3rd front emerges there may be serious initial problems.

For the proper context:
95 commercial ports operated by China overseas.
Compared to 300+ US military bases overseas.
The US focuses on military, China focuses on development. I would tell the US to step aside.
investing in port infrastructure overseas vs expending in military bases overseas.....
That's what it happens when china focus on economy and help 3rd world country and the us only focus on lgbtq stuff
Oh please. Go be a boomer outside of UA-cam. This is what happens when the US doesn’t care about the future
focus on the economy? for 3 years during covid? really? LOL your whackjob leader simply focused on CONTROL per the usual
China: 95 commercial ports.
US: 750 military bases.
WSJ compare with china infrastructure to American military war industrial complex Base 😊😊
No worries, China is way behind. China needs to build another 790+ more military bases to catch up to America's.

as if these commercial ports in mainland U.S. cannot be easily taken over if a conflict arises
German government let COSCO Shipping buy the 24.9% stake in Hamburg Tollerort container terminal.
24.9% means china has no voting rights when it comes to that one terminal. So they cannot influence anything happening on it... Btw Hamburg has 42 terminals in total.
whats wrong with buying stake......?
german producers in china invest and have stake / factories in china too
That's misinformation Chinese has owned the Los Angeles Port for years now
Why is the flag of Denmark over Croatia ?
This is a deeply embarrassing blunder. C'mon WSJ, you can do better.
My takeaway l - China is playing political chess with big money & they are winning.
Can US do something for a better world rather than military .. Rest of the countries aware the geopolitics and US intention . China is not interested in military bases but trade cooperation... Is time we need world cooperation to fight climate change before it becomes irreversible
You are literally using U.S. technology by even using UA-cam. And the devices you use, food you consume, most of the innovations in your life - cars, electricity, etc ... all due to the U.S. What has China offered the world? Cheap takeout and kung fu that's about it.
