Who can change the mess we are into now? with this crash I'll say it wont be too easy to pick the right stock, Jim Cramer said there are still huge opportunities despite the crash, and I overheard someone talk about making $250k from about $110k since the crash. How do I make these kind of returns?
obviously, there are numerous ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.

This is how western media works. Filters and aggressive editing to force a narrative.
@@arbynChief617 for people in the global South, I think they prefer a China led world of rapid development than an Anglo European led world of war and death.
@@vincentdesun I wish I had more access to Chinese media, because then I would get nothing but the Truth.
I am in South Africa. China is doing so much investment and creates so many jobs in all of Africa. Even in South Africa they are developing new mines, are involved in agricultural projects and many more projects in all forms of industry. China is not just doing this in Africa it’s also involved in Asia and even Europe This while the US investments and exports into these countries did not shirk it became nonexistent, but that’s capitalist greed. The digital Yuan will replace the dollar.
Based on your comment you are either a 50 cent OR haven't looked at these Chinese "local investments".
If it is the latter, check out what happened to China's investment in Sri Lanka
Most of those local investments are not directed towards the development of local economies, but instead structured so as to benefit Chinese investors. Most of the project contracts involve the import of Chinese laborers, use of Chinese capital, and Chinese-manufactured equipment, along with an extended period of 'leasing' whereby countries don't have sovereign control over the infrastructure built for them. There's a reason that Sub-Saharan countries are starting to play World Bank, IMF, and ERB loan packages against Chinese state offers and refusing import of Chinese labor.
@@camadams9149 Srilanka is developing their ports with Chinese help,wherein the western countries only exploiting their wealth. Opposition in Srilanka sides with others to tarnish the development of their country.
@@camadams9149 , Do you REALLY understand the issue regarding Sri Lanka? I doubt so. The controversial port was not originally created by China nor her financial resources. Only when Sri Lankan realized they could not proceed with their plan they sought China to help out. Of course Chinese banks apply the same guidelines like all other financial institutions when others refused to assist! China is given the right to industrialize it, which of course , whether successful or otherwise is left to be seen!
nope Euro will be first
Asian holds majority of the world economic growth while the west debating about which bathroom should they use
哈哈哈哈哈
Damn bro, do people want China to be poor? I am not crazy about China, but everyone seems so uncomfortable with that country becoming advance.
same as usa,see the anger from the middle east and south east asia.
also africa.
It's racism basically western countries can't allow someone who isn't white be better than them.
White privilege particularly
China is agressive against its neighbours countries so it's not only a threat of US hegemony also threat for peace in Asia . The main difference in the near future between US and China would be their allies.
The world would not be peaceful until it becomes multipolar not the bipolar 👍
In the event of regionalization, it's the incumbent global economic hub and middle-size countries who suffer most. Large countries with huge domestic markets will endure better.
You reckon China will do better than Europe. Europe market is currently 30% bigger than China's and the biggest country Germany is just a fraction of the size of China.
@@Andy-P the eu as a block in the long run won't fare well, their populations are old and fertility rates are low. However, the EU block gives them an advantage as they can trade with each other like they are one nation. China and the US will also be fine because they have the ability for economic self-sufficiency, maybe China will still need to trade with OPEC countries for oil but that is pretty much it. The countries that are screwed are trade dependent economies like Malaysia and especially Singapore because the country is so small it doesn't have domestic demand and relies on foreign trade and if that lifeline is cut off the country dies
@@Andy-P Decreasing demand from China is already starting to drag asia down

@@raghuvenkatesan6792 It sounds in the future the end of global trade. Not good news for China which is still a demand side economy. At least currently there is trade. How will China influence the world without it's soft power, maybe it will be using hard power instead.
@@Andy-P nah china will be fine they will switch from exporting to other countries to simply producing for themselves, they are already taking part in this transition bc of the trade war with the US. They will need hard power to protect their shipping lanes from Iran and other oil rich countries but that's pretty much all the trade they need
Damn man you are so right idk why those news about China keep popping up everyday. Like if they become richer good for them let them be. Can we focus on our own problems? Like the US is littering falling apart for the majority commons, especially after the pandemic, bad weather, etc. and all we talk about is China China China!
Well, one US president once said: the world does not have enough resources if Chinese lives like Americans, so China must be kept low (making socks with meager wages) to keep Americans high (enjoy marijuana with gun-ship money).
China just came out with a better tone toward their tech industry and markets. Assuming that geo political events do not get worse between the USA vs China. I am making a Long term asset accumulation bet on BABA.
Yep, good Talk. 2022 will be a rollercoaster for sure. Stocks valuations are at an all time high while at the same time we have the threat of inflation, rising interest rates and supply chain and productivity issues to deal with. Something is going to have to give. I think it will be the Markets that will have to correct. How much and when - who knows. Sanity hasn't prevailed in this bear market and I suspect it wont prevail in a correction/crash.
I hope everyone have their cash ready to jump in at the right time. Secure your financial future with calculated moves. The stocks market still remain your best bet in becoming a millionaire.
in order for us to prepare for the future we need to look into safer investment with good prospect . If you have the mindset of investing 5 years ahead and just keep DCA every time you get paid.

China has succeeded because its neither communist or capitalist. There have been many countries that have tried to just deregulate and go for neo liberal fundamentalism and end up with chaos and inequality. China is mercantilist, state planner and laissez faire at the same time. Its something different.
Spot on, dude.
Sadly, I don’t think even 20% of the commenters here understand half the economic models you’ve mentioned.
@@kindface But its really works very fine,The government has the guidance, and the non-government enterprises are also very dynamic and dominant. The breakthrough point for each industry as planned by government is the Chinese model. The government is indeed strong, but in the overall situation, it is really the right choice to make with no evil. This is why China has made all 30 years. Going right, and the reason for the rapid development. Many people in other contry have to choose 1 from 2 or reject each other, which is incomprehensible.Free with all indusry is not best choice as economic
They succeed. But with the price of very shitty individual freedoms and totalitarian control/surveillance of the population. No thanks, I take other options. It's a good country for politicians and power, not for common people.

FT is owned by NIKKEI Japan, a voice for G7 only.
Most of the news from western countries, Japan, India and Australia are covering only negative news on China. The facts are okay but often based on propaganda and jealousy.
Export accounted for 40% of GDP of China in 2000, but now it's only 18%. As a comparison it's 12% of GDP for US.
China knows to be a major power on the world stage, you cannot depend your GDP on others. The government actively encouraged the growth of their own internal market.
So despite their enviable growth in export markets in the past 20 years, their growth of its internal market is even more amazing!
Agreed
Yes,people literally forgot how USA became a superpower,since they declared war on japan,it is no more dependent economically expect for raw materials like oil,as we saw in oil crisis
Did not you know
China will fail
That's kind of flawed. See those empty cities? They're not productive assets and there's a real surge in wealth but there's an undeniable rise of wealth in real estate due to prices just going up
martin speaks as world belongs to "western" countries and that is a BAD view to start with.
definition of "rule based world"
With the current times. Pick one, a bumbling idiot of a master, or a vengeful master that the only thing that they want to do is subjugate the rest of the world because of their enslavement of their ancestors. China is the latter, if you think this isn't true, no this is literally their master plan, they want payback for every fuckery they ancestors get for our ancestors. Mercy isn't in their books. So if you think that a good master stay silent.
The real treasure of china is not communist party. The real treasure of china is a chinese people
@@peacechan4500 This seems true, especially if you see from the perspective of former subjugator who is now afraid of being subjugated.
@@peacechan4500
That's an odd view. It's something I would expect from Africa not China, as China has been the world's superpower basically since civilisation. This only ended when Europeans subjugated everyone, not just them.
Analyse this :
During the Ming and Han dynasty, the middle kingdom was the superpower .
It had the greatest land army and navy. It had rockets and cannons.
It had invented compass, seismograph, silk, gunpowder, printing press and so on.
Admiral Zeng He of China had explored much of Indian ocean routes centuries before Europeans.
Yet.
Chinese choose not to colonize India , Europe and Africa.
They choose to ignore the world.
China stagnated.
Nevertheless, today's China is a different China.
It has global ambitions which could trigger confrontations.
China Pakistsn Economic Corridor CPEC is one of them.
But China will NEVER be the centre of globalisation because it is not in their DNA.
Trying to get my head around all of this. What do you think about the recent failings of the many building companies collapsing. China is also very secret, are they fooling the world? Are they robbing Peter to pay Paul? I don’t know much about economy but look forward to your insight
"Chinese choose not to colonize India" wtf do u smoke before writing such unintelligent comments?
@@intuitivediane The Chinese government is killing chickens to show the monkeys (other real estate developers) to abide by the government's advice, the Chinese government will solve this problem, China is state capitalism and China's population is very large, Chinese people like to buy houses This is different from the West
I think China’s global ambition is to trade. This is in their DNA since thousands years ago Han dynasty built the Silk Road and brought prosperity and technology exchange through Middle East to Europe.
Hey iodex smoker, India was ~25% of world economy and the most powerful or the second most powerful and rich nation for most of history. So, China colonizing india is like China colonizing USA today. Dumass.
Software engineers often argue about programming languages, which is good better or the best. One computer guru said, there are two kinds of languages, one is what people use and hate, the other one has no users, now, stop the talk and go to write some code.
what does this even mean
Why this ominous sound effects?? Without it you are going to look more impartial.
did you check out Martin's watery, protruded eye balls?! China's economic rise, albeit over some two-plus decades and having much to do with exporting to a gigantic US consumer base, is still very majestically spectacular!
To put it bluntly, I think the Chinese mindset is we will just keep on doing what we
have been doing for the past decades and we don't give a crap about all the forecasts
being put forth. They are not competing with anybody but themselves.
The China GDP per capita is still far from the west.
The Chinese just want a better life standard for themselves, and they do that by working hard.
As a European I don't mind that China is taking over. They seem to be doing a good job and are WAY less aggressive and arrogant than the USA. I don't really get the argument that China is "taking" the leadership role from the USA. They should welcome China's growth as that will help them too. It will help everyone, in fact.
As CHinese, I dont think china can take over everything. Instead, I think euro can be a better international currency than rmb, because euro has decades of experience as a regional international currency. Plus, rmb has got a too low currency value: about 8 rmb equals 1 euro.

I like their attitude, not judgmental and negative to China's development. I left China twenty-three years ago. I must admit that I could not recognize this country anymore. China indeed made a lot of mistakes and will certainly make mistakes economically, but China will certainly make more positive contribution to the civilization of this globe based on what having been achieved there.
@rum distillery have you been to China to get First Hand experience before you show how bias and judgemental you are.
So sorry you have been brainwashed by propaganda media to make you think you are a superior human.

@rum distillery I agree with your ideas. Taking recent Henan flood for example, CCP is trying to hide the true death figure. Feeling shame for that. Believe me, this is exactly my first hand experience
@@allwinyay6085 Sir, actually you are far too wrong.
The key question is will you accept the fact that China will become the centre of the world economy?
The key fact is the West is still in denial.
I say, let them.
They are desperately struggling for that. It's reasonable for them to be anxious. After all, they have dominated the world since the Age of Discovery and the industrial era. China is still not yet to be the center of the world economy, but along with its technological advancement, it would certainly squeeze out high value-added revenue from the West. While the process would also accelerate the progress of the RMB internationalization since the trade invoicing and settlement would be conducted in the RMB of their export goods. In nutshell, not much time left for the West, and they would surely ramp up their speed in impeding China from further development.
@@waloysius8054 The tactic the West is using against China is the same age-old one they had been using against others.
The Chinese are not the Chinese if they do not have 5,000 years of experience under their belt, and if the West think they can successfully tackle China using that simple minded trick ... brace yourself for what will eventually happen.
The West seems to think they have all the solutions for all the problems of the world and that they are the only one who knows how to kick others in the chin.
Well ... let's see how the West gonna kick themselves in their own chin.
Not a problem. As long as they keep their commy crap to themselves

The failure of such videos is just limiting reasons for a countries rise to good decisions in the economic field. That is too simplistic. The cultural, political, past failures and overall ambition isn’t quantified.
If we were to just go back to 500 years, its not hard to see that it was regional trade then. Italy in Europe; Persia (today’s Iran) and China. Each were regional hubs by itself but yet they traded via the silk route.
What changed is there is now the US and the Americas.
Chances are if the Europeans are smart enough; they will leverage both the World island with China building the infrastructure like the speed rails and with the US-Canada in the Atlantic.
Europe would be foolish to miss this great opportunity to regain its position in world trade!
Yes, Europe can regain its position in world trade by decoupling from China
No more competition against slave labor and currency manipulation

@@alfredyap14 "Europe will go back into the dark ages or the back water of the US"
In terms of technological develop and commercialization, it did. That is why Europe lacks massive tech companies.
However, that did not decrease standards of living because they have a high value economy and focus on standards of living.
The US doesn't use capital to ensure high standards of living. It is all sunk into business
@@camadams9149 Who pays for the high standards of living? Money doesn’t fall from the sky.
At about 7min on, this piece discusses the technologies that China is already preeminent in. These are already shaping the future for the rest of the world. So even if the US or EU strengthen their respective roles as regional trade hubs, they will still be reliant on China. So the question is redundant. China already is at the centre of the world economy.
You only have to dig a little to see the extent of investment in the US and EU coming from China-based companies and investment houses. So something can be made in the US or EU and exported to markets where they dominate, but China still makes a profit.
The West made a Faustian pact, arguably in the late 70s, to create growth and prosperity (or an illusion of it) by financialization (aka making money from money, or usery). But someone still had to make the stuff and Deng Xiaoping was at the helm and ready to go.
@martycrow you got it right. the best explanation about china.
the western people need someone to the dirty stuff..
then the late "Deng Xiaoping" got a big idea and a lot of people willing to do it.
Absolutely right. Finance can only be so useful if it can support real stuff.
Wumao
At the base of China's tremendous progress is the people. You can't copy intelligence, inventiveness, quick learning, resourcefulness, wisdom and very hardworking people.
If china is so great then why does it send keyboard warriors and bots to tell us that they're great? You don't see Western Europeans or North Americans going around yelling at everyone's face about how great we are. Only the Chinese seems to do this, always super sensitive about what people think or say about China. Isn't that a huge sign of insecurity?

I think the emphasis on hi-tech in this article is misleading. China's most emphatic growth in the last 40 years has been in transport infrastructure, construction and most importantly, agriculture. Check out all the videos showing worldwide production of a vast number of commodities where China leads the world in production. Although these have external trade implications, their most important aspect is in internal development and stability, which is now irreversible.

@@fabp.2114
I do see, my friend. But more than that, I also understand what is happening below the surface. These companies that are leaving are a natural attrition. They’re not able to stay viable. The narrative in the west is always that their companies are beating a retreat from China because of unfair commercial rules, market sectors still remaining closed, etc, etc. Their Chinese competitors are subject to the same market rules and environment and yet they not only survive, many even thrive. It’s the intensity of competition. These American companies can’t hang in there long enough to sustain the economic bleeding because of the imperative of shareholder expectations. The no. 1 reason they can’t compete is that they always go to China expecting the Chinese consumer class to swallow whole whatever products and services were selling in their home market and were unwilling/unable to tailor to the Chinese market. That’s why FB and Amazon retreated; not the red herring about the market rules being unfair because it’s the same rules that Tencent and Alibaba’s had to play by. The Chinese companies just know the tastes and the nuances of the Chinese consumers much better.
China just come back its original position
Well.., that's not surprising at all. China had been the number 1 country for thousands of years before Western notorious colonialism several few hundred years ago. Now China is back!

Martin has repeatedly emphasized that the world will become more regional and China will not become the center of the world economy. The most obvious manifestation of the regionalization of the world in the past was during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. That was because both the United States and the Soviet Union regarded each other's camps as mortal enemies. This is very different from today's situation. China does not want to play such a political game, because it will not do any good to itself, it is just a waste of energy. China believes in free trade and uses domestic policies to protect the survival and development of national industries. The problem now is that, in order to contain China's development, the United States believes that it should create walls between countries. The United States has abandoned the principle of free trade that it once believed in, because the United States lacks competitiveness in free trade. The premise for the United States to abide by the rules of the game is that the United States enjoys a huge advantage in the rules of the game. When the United States needs to compete on an equal footing with others, the United States will withdraw from the game, or simply smash the game table. But for the other countries than the United States, a game with rules is beneficial to everyone. Otherwise, how to ensure the order of the game?
I don't think that the US's sabotage can be fully effective. Although the United States has taken advantage of the media to discredit China for a long time, it has given Europe a negative impression of China. But the political purpose of countries is to seek benefits, not to play with the United States. China's huge consumer market and the high quality and low price of Chinese products are irresistible to the world. If a country must abandon its trade relationship with China, it will only create obstacles for its own exports, increase import costs, and increase the burden of national living and consumption and industrial production costs.
In the end, the United States can only face reality and face fair competition.
Chinese culture is very meaningful. The goal of the Chinese people's efforts is to allow themselves and their families to have a better standard of living, just like the standard of living enjoyed by people in developed countries. I don't think China is interested in becoming a world economic center. This is not China's development goal, but it may become a natural result.
Nah good analysis but isn't that what everyone wants? Come on, who's not greedy? Netherlands? Man, we live in the world where the greedy ones fight for everything.

More than a billion Chinese knows how to make money and knows how to spend the money.
@SK Law and ? living costs there is extremly low. I was shocked how low it was when i visited. Taking 4 peoples to a very good restaurant costs me way less than a friggin burger king or Mcdonalds here in germany. Train ticket ? 1/10th of the price here etc.
@@semiramisubw4864 Yeah and the only downside for you was the constant smog, undrinkable tap water, no food safety regulations, no building safety regulations, overcrowded living spaces and closet sized apartments, and no employment standards as most employers demand you work 9am to 9pm six days a week if you don't have a degree, and if you do have a degree make sure it is a western degree as most employers wouldn't wipe with a degree from a Chinese university. That's why all the rich Chinese come west to get an education. The other billion are practically slaves working 12 hour shifts six days a week with no sick days. Some "workers utopia" lol
@SK Law that’s just not true , I guess you never been to China. The minimum wage of all provinces of China are around 2000rmb/month, average Chinese with no skills makes about 5000rmb/month which is about 800usd , while China govt intentionally keep the RMB at least 50% lower than its real value. China Premier Li Keqiang made that statement so that stupid US and other western govts still think China is weak.Common western ppl can not understand Confucius wisdom of creating illusion for your competitors
@@semiramisubw4864 I m curious which “very good” restaurant you took 4 ppl to which cost way less than Burger King ? Do you know how much is the rent for living in Shanghai and Beijing , Shenzhen etc? BTW the food and transportation costs are low is a blessing because our govt did such a great job in creating the best High speed railway network in the world , while producing more than enough food to feed the 1.4 billion ppl, very low inflation for such fast economic development so everybody here can live a comfortable life

Too late for the US and Europe to separate their economy, trade and supply from China. Most end-consumer stuffs probably has been produced in China in the last decade. So US and Europe will get the effect on that.
US and Europe probably don't want lose the ground on their high-end for B2B products...hence, this separation!
China was the center of the global economy and is quickly coming back to that position and will probably stay in that position for a long time in the future.
God bless China 🇨🇳❤️🇧🇷
The center of the global economy has already shifted to Asia (China, India, ASEAN, Japan/Korea). China happens to be the biggest economy within the biggest economic bloc in the world, so it is likely to be at the centre of the world economy. This is merely a reversion to a historical norm where according to the Economist, China & India were historically the world's largest economies most of the time.
still not india india is on the verge of an econommic collapse
Unfortunately India is nowhere close China in terms of economy
We are living in a very different world now. India and China have many inherent advantages, but they were economic giants at a time when 2 whole continents had barely been discovered yet. It will not be easy for them to reclaim the throne, and in the case if China, if it does, it will not be fun for any of us.
@@MrAnimason
I disagree, CHINA IS FUN. China is not the N Korean regime that the Western politicians and Western media would like you to think. China is now a modern, progressive, clean, green, peaceful, safe, harmonious country with a very receptive tech savvy society.
It is not like the Muslim society where many types of entertainment are curtailed . Young Chinese youth are fashionable and Chinese like to drink beer (Tsingtao) and liquor (Baijiu). They have pubs, bars, band culture,and rap music is exploding in China in the past few years. K pop is also popular in China where many Chinese are members of Kpop groups. Any adult can hold a bottle or a can of beer and drink it on the streets and you don't have to be so suffocatingly politically correct in China.
All international retail outlets are in China like Zara, H&M, Tiffany, Gucci, Prada, Uniqlo, and thousands more. All international and American fast food chains are there - like McDonald, Starbucks, Burger King, Subway and more.
Although the internet is controlled by the government, it is just a VPN away from surfing the international internet which is cheap to subscribe to.
China is a very big country and as such have many different terrains to go for holidays such as tropical island in Hainan, ice city in Harbin, desert trekking in Gansu, horse riding in the plains of Inner Mongolia, the Himalayas in Tibet, Boat trip in the Yangtze river, beautiful exotic Guilin hills and tropical habitats, 640 ski resorts, ancient villages and palaces, Metropolitans cities and more.

It already is the center of the world economy.
In principle, the economic is the fundamental which determines what appropriate politics or ideology is, if it is matched, the economic development will be propelled by politics and ideology. In terms of human society development, capitalism is fit for poor economics to be developed to rich economics, while socialism is fit for rich economics to be developed further. China was initially of pure socialism and once introduced partial capitalism to accelerate economic when it was poor, however, with the development of economics now achieved, more socialism and less capitalism is needed in order to fit nowadays economics development, common prosperity is certainly direction of socialism, which will definitely propel current China economics again.

The topic, and content of this video is probably the most important in regards to globalisation at the current moment. The final 30 seconds where it's mentioned that if there ever was an "amalgamation" of all the world's economies there would be mass protectionism, etc, is very important to understand. Indeed the idea that one country will essentially be the center of the world's economy is wrong. There's too many other "players", and midsize countries ,i.e Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria that won'e be the biggest players, but "mid-size players in an ever changing world economy. The chart showing the 3 main areas of trade was very important. 1) EU with Germany at its center 2) North America with the U.S at its center, and 3) East Asia with China at its center.
They are the centre of the world economy. And its going to be like that for the foreseeable future.
Just assuming your initial premise is correct, since when is 2050 not the "foreseeable future".

5:16 the statement that the US is the world leader when it comes to median income (household or per-capita) is false. According to the World Bank/Eurostat (International Comparison Program/World Development Indicators database) the US is number 10 by GDP per capita (PPP), Luxembourg ranks first by close to double. Also the graph at 5:26 is misleading and supports the false statement made earlier by not including any economies that performed better then the US when it comes to GDP.

Chinese belt and road initiative is a well thought long term plan to rope in all under developed countries under Chinese influence, it will provide an alternate uncontested market to China , in coming decades we will see development of a parallel supply chain, new centres of scientific, technological research and development under Chinese and Russian leadership.

The real problem for the west is that it is very difficult for them to understand China by the current economic theory framework ,,
That was created by a world that became sick from the pandemic……
Difficult for them to understand or they just don't want to understand?
Their economic theory is western centric. "Oh Venezuela and Iran want to nationalize their oil, that's not going to fly" is the only thing the west understands. Me, me, me. "Germany and Russia doing a pipeline? How does the US feel about this?" Huh?
Thats the reason USA got nervous. China was supposed to react like what other countries had reacted so will be mired in chaos like India. However, they did not expect China to react with the unprecedented move of closing down provinces in total shutdown. No other country could do like China did so China success is so obvious as no country have positive growth.
Nearly all countries will have positive growth this year.
Let China achieve its economic goals. Real competition is good for the global economy. We make a mistake to assume China is an enemy unless we allow our assumptions dictate hour destiny.
The rapid development of China definitely concerns a lot of American experts as China's potential grows up to finally build an impenetrable wall between them and the rest of the world. So, if European, South Asian and African countries have to choose between America and China they'll probably make decision to move forward along with the Chinese partners. This is what's now intimidating the Americans. They try to preserve their leadership in the world but their time of global dominance is incrementally coming to an end.

Free and independent of 20th century US/political/ petro-military dollar sanctions. The 21st century will be a fully globalized economic agreement system independent of 20th century “nationalistic” (US/dollar, Fed-Reserve, IMF, SWIFT) within the next decade there’ll be a global neutral digital financial system, free of any one nations politics or power interests.
The US will lose all its currency powers as it will be buried in its $30+ trillion debt and an over-sized/over-extended/over-costly/over-aged military that just to maintain it in a rapidly changing technology world will be an over-burdening task (over 800 bases that just suck up the treasury to stay in existence all needing constant maintenance). Technology will greatly change how the globalized world operates, including military (what good is a giant expensive aircraft carrier or nuclear sub when hypersonic AI missiles are being developed or weaponized satellites that will soon hack and shut down all computerized/tech systems and just blank out all its targeted data? Large military hardware (ships, subs, tanks, planes,etc) will go by way of the Calvary as technology and super AI hypersonic missile technology can just blow them out, or a weaponized AI satellite with weaponized laser technology or whatever AI weapon systems yet to be developed. Ships, subs, bases, planes will be no match. The 20th military century thinking is over just as the 19th was to the 20th.

Very interesting overview and touches a number of topics. China, technology, economics and population. Let’s see if FT holds true 😀
China GDP growth per capita
The per-capita “goal implies average growth of 4.7% between 2021-2035. We forecast an average of 4.4% for the period.
Source: Bloomberg
CHINA IS HAUNTED by the spectre of the “middle-income trap”, the notion that emerging economies grow quickly out of poverty only to get stuck before they get rich. 5:49
A study by consulting firm McKinsey & Company projects that 76 percent of China's urban population will enter the middle income bracket by 2022.
Sources: China Briefing; The Economist
This video reveal an interesting ideological assumption: that only a US centered economy can be a "globalised" one where as a China centered global economy is "anti globalised". As opposed to China merely leading us towards a new form of globalisation. Even if China wanted to (which I doubt) the globalisation of the economy, a historical process, cannot be reversed. China is as constrained by history as the US is. In fact China cant be at the "center" of any global economy if its truly "fragmented". Its against China's interests to abandon globalisation. If anything, I suspect, "regionalisation" will be primarily a product of the US and the West trying to fight Chinese influence as a last resort resort due to their declining economic position relative to China.
China always puts objections against being the only pillar of the world economy and real hegemony, which on the contrary, China always seeks to partner with the rest of the world for every possible way to benefit all that it co-operates with. Take a look at Africa, where there was famine and war raging on, there's a scene of reviving economy going on the land, thanks to belt & road initiative that helps them build essential infrastructures and more, which is something that the Western world didn't & wouldn't do.
I agree

France being the biggest culprits of this in particular with their former African colonies. But it’s disingenuous to think China is being a “good guy” or “hero”. There are no good or bad in geopolitics, just conflicting interests trying to expand their wealth & influence at all costs
@@JoeTheBroken At least China will not influence in our internal political affairs, and they are not selling their ideology to us. Oh US, stop selling ur 'demoncracy' with bullets and bombs.
Which center again? When China is already the world's largest trading partners to everyone? To produce virtually anything, cost effectively, in large quantities, you must get to China. In the past few years, all trade deals were all with China: Us-China, EU-China, RCEP etc. Even the just concluded G7 and NATO summits were all centered on China.
So which center again?
It is nothing more than a propaganda video
James Kynge has a good grasp on what's going on in China. The other guy's thinly veiled attempts to undermine proof of China's success and the trajectory to its ambitions to give its people a moderate level of prosperity is laughable.
plus his fake goatee rebel facade is equally amusing and revealing how hollow his central argument is. His jealous outrageous face also gives a good hint on what motivates him.
James Kynge s great book: China shakes world
Thank you very much 🙂
Why is globalization and regionalization has to be in conflict to each other? Western developed countries always have this zero sum ideology. If Asia and Africa both form strong regional trading organizations, the developing countries will all benefit and become richer. Once they become richer, they will buy more high-end products from Europe and US. Everybody will win something.
Because in 2080.
China will have 800 Millon people
China is gonna collapse
Did you just say that Africa can "form strong regional trading organization, the developing countries will all benefit and become richer" - first rule in Africa is rise to position of power and then cash in, stopping anyone else from sharing any reward, all for the top authority and nothing for the mass. How blind are you to think that Africa can cooperate?
I think so. China hasn’t been invading multiple countries, endless wars or conflicts of recent besides Hong Kong and Taiwan. It has been building its military and economy. Unlike countries such as USA and Australia. Also moving to more equity and pulling Chinese citizens out of poverty apparently
Highly doubt that. Military is not really a significant factor. Civilian life is. China civilian life is expected to face lower life quality similar to USA (going down) in the future.
Family structure is unsustainable. Thanks to one child policy and high cost of living. Unless he/she is rich enough to support their own (and in law) parent and manage to get the minimum requirement to get married. The population is expected to shrinking drastically.
Unless they manage to work for government or rich private company the normal civilian life is stressful and just enough to support oneself. Which is common in Asia. Laying down/hikimori/neet/overwork is expected to rise.
This does not include natural disaster thanks to global warming like flood and rising sea level of that will ruin people life. It seem each year flood is worse than before.
China will probably be end up similar to current Japan. Advance economy but population decline

China's success could be a success for the world if they promoted freedom and liberalism. Imagine China were to become a giant Japan or South Korea, I wouldn't mind that.
Maybe they will be. Remember South Korea was authoritarian before 1988. Taiwan was authoritarian before 1992. They became rich before becoming democratic. I hear people say Xi is putting himself to be president for life. Is there the possibility that he want to be president until China becomes rich and have that as his legacy? Is there a possibility that he can be like Chun Doo Hwan of South Korea or Chiang Ching Kuo of Taiwan as the last authoritarian leader that transition the country to a democracy? China is not a dynasty like north Korea and Xi only has a daughter. What's the point of continuing to be president in your 80s when your legacy is set and your not cognitively there like Joe Biden.
