- The more things change, the more they stay the same, or so the saying goes and so it seems with the relationship between China and the U.S., except maybe this time things are on a particularly dangerous downward spiral. Security worries already have produced an arms race, a deterioration in trade and economic relations, and reduced cultural and educational links. How did we arrive at this juncture and what can be done about it, by both sides?

I am a Chinese American. Been here 55 years and have read American constitution from back to back.
I am shocked by the ignorance of American when it comes to Chinese history and culture, for that matter history and culture in general.
Yes, China will go to war to take Taiwan back to its fold IF THEIR PREFERRED PEACEFUL MEANS FAILED.
I grew up in Taiwan since I was one, before I came to the U.S. to go to graduate school, and I strongly believe Taiwan is part of China. Though I lived most of my life in America I paid a lot of attention to the development of Taiwan and China all this time. Though most people here think differently but the governments on both sides of the Taiwan Straight have been going towards a similar place slowly. If outsiders such as the U.S. could stay outside the two sides would be united naturally one day, PEACEFULLY!
Sorry, in realist terms, as the world's one and only hegemon, we don't give a hoot about anybody's or any country's culture or history. Excepting Israel, every other country has to listen to us or else. As Blinken said, "You are at the table or on the menu."
@@siberiantiger3917 Taiwan: how do we become Israel? TSMC? Anything else? BTW, why are we on the menu and at the table the same time?
Only the US won't force Taiwan to fight one more proxy war, Chinese of both sides will solve their internal issues peacefully. Mind our own business, politicians, and focus on own own problems.
China has fought *no wars* in the last 45 years since 1979. This makes China the most peaceful world power the world has ever known.
How many wars has the USA fought during this period? How many wars has the UK fought during this period?
How many wars has NATO fought during this period?
Is the collective West as peaceful as China is?
Correction; the USA attacked Japan directly with nuclear weapons.
@3:15 "Remember The US never attack any country with nuclear weapon directly..." WTF, tell that to the Japanese. Why is youtube recommend speech of this clueless guy???
JAPAN is a colony of USA now
Our neocons’ plan to turn Taiwan into the next Ukraine has been codified into law by The National Defense Authorization Law, passed in December of 2022, incorporating key provisions of Taiwan Policy Act of 2022. With the arrival in Taiwan, in early 2023, of our 200+ Special Forces military advisors to train the Taiwan military in asymmetric/urban warfare, our plan to turn Taiwan into the next Ukraine, with the full cooperation of Tsai Ing-wen and the DPP, is well underway. When our advisors are done indoctrinating, training and arming the Taiwan military in 3-4 years, we will have Lai Ching-te declare independence and begin our proxy war against China, using Taiwan as our proxy. Our neocons hope to turn each Taiwanese city into a Stalingrad. Maximizing Taiwan's casualties and destruction has two benefits: (1) Turn public opinion further against China and increase resistance among the Taiwan military and population to avoid an early capitulation; and (2) When the PLA finally prevails, China will bear the cost of rebuilding Taiwan, in trillions of dollars thereby slowing its economic growth and influence around the world, and its relations with the decimated and angry Taiwanese population. As Biden promised in March of 2021, he will prevent China from passing the United States as the most powerful country in the world while on his watch.
The question should be will the US go to war over Taiwan and the answer is no
In China's 5,000-year-history, China has never been colonialist like the Europeans (British Empire, French Empire, German Empire, Dutch Empire, Spanish Empire, Portuguese Empire) and Americans.
Even when the Mongol Empire stretched all the way to Europe, China did not try to emulate them. China built the Great Wall to keep out the Western barbarians.
Even when Zheng He's "treasure fleet" of 300+ ships went all the way to the East coast of Africa, he conquered no territory. His mission was purely diplomatic. His fleet carried 28,000 warriors. Some 62 of those ships were many times larger than the ships of Christopher Columbus.
The greatest extent of imperial China was the Qing Dynasty in the 1800s. A map of China at that time looks much like the map of modern China, minus Mongolia.
What does a map of the British Empire and American Empire look like compared to modern-day Britain and America?
Prime example of why things are the way they are.

don't have to, their patron is collapsing. as soon as usa out of the picture, taiwan will be welcomed as a somewhat autonomous province, similar to guangxi.
Isn't their goal unification?
Is this bloke mad?
1) China was involved in more wars because it has a much much longer history than any other countries in the World. The number of wars has to be matched against the time span counted.
2) China was in the Korean War because the U.S. lead invasion was on Korean ground. The existance of (North ) Korea was in danger. Korea pleaded China for help.
3) It is Taiwan who imposed innumerable sanction on Chinese products. Whereas China gave Taiwan preferential beneficial treatment under the ECFA. Despite the provokation of the DPP of Taiwan, China is now, only recinding some of these exceptional favorable terms it granted Taiwan.
3) What do you call the North and South War of America United States of America VS the Confederate States of America? A war that the USA won and have the country reunited again.
4) China didn't interfere with the American Civil War. Whereas the U.S. is actively intervening with the reunitfication of China. Gving the DPP political support and selling them weapons.(making a handsome profit while so doing ). Sending war ships to cruise the South China Sea, thousand of miles from U.S. coast. Coecing Taiwan to keep defacto independence. U.S. is using Taiwan as a pawn to "contain China", to keep its hegemony in the World.
5) U.S. Government is a total hypocrit. While verbaling that it subscribe to the one China Policy, the U.S. is trying its best to split Taiwan off from China.
For the CCP Taiwan question is an unfinished bussiness the Koumintang Party take refuge there in 1949 when Communist China Party took over China when they won over the Koumintang. As the late DengXiaoping the premier of China then use to say Taiwan is an immovable target and goal k!
Plajn and simple,Taiwan is not easy to take over by force.period
Will USA go to war over Catalina island
3:09 The USA bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
China will not give up Taiwan because of the experience of "century of humiliation" when western nations unjustly took parts of their territory. Reunification with Taiwan would be the completion of China's liberation from domination of western imperialists. Will China go to war? Yes and no. War is too costly. China prefers peaceful reunification with Taiwan. If Taiwan wants to, it can opt for the "one state, two systems" formula like Hong Kong and Macau. But if Taiwan secedes, then expect PRC to invade the island, even with U.S. promise to defend it.
The problem is, China reneged on its promise. It is an unreliable partner. It only excels in lies, brainwashing and propaganda. The "one country, two systems" promise never materialised, as witnessed in Hong Kong. That's why Taiwan will never agree to become part of China, and that's also why CCP China will invade Taiwan and lose the war after a few possible initial victories. A British couple who has correctly foreseen all major world events in their visions and dreams forecasts that China will finally split into 6 parts, which is a good thing.
