Its not racist to do that, and by the same logic it is also not xenophobic to identify by nationality.
Tom is sadly still ignorant of what is happening in the real world and China..He is still clinging on to most western mindset of defining China { as in the past} and in this debate does not seems to have any constructive views...
Kinda agree with you last statement and so do the debaters. The immediate future just holds friction and polarisation as the new cold war gets a grip. Personally I would rarther have a cold war and trade disputes than a 'real' kinetic war.
@Szar Tzejar he is intelligent, but someone has intelligence doesn't mean he has moral, consience and shame. I guess there is high percentage of psychopath among American political and financial elites.
@trader john Cold war is no direct military confrontation and helps avoid that. China is already in a cold war with America. The actions of the two prove that. America is gathering allies to give a more united front. Else China will pick off the 'little countries' one by one. Starting with Australia and soon the UK. Tom is suggesting this 'alliance' with America and the other democratic nations. As Tom says if we don't a world led by China is a world where individuals don't count.
I am Chinese. It was a Western debate coach that told me that arguments need to be FACT-BASED. It saddens me how many in the West have forgotten about it.
"It's Time for the West to Get Tough with China" On the contrary, I strongly believe that "It's Time for China to Tough with West", especially the US , Britain and Australia.

I used to believe in Western propaganda against the Dalai Lama, but when I opened up my prejudice, I sought the truth. I discovered the true history of Tibet. Only then did I understand that the Western media was just to split China, and there was never the truth in the west media. ua-cam.com/video/Xsoc4-QnplY/v-deo.html
Best quote of the day, "You have no moral right to lecture us. When we were weak, when we were down trodden, when our people were suffering from poverty, when our people were suffering from famine, when our people were suffering from starvation, you didn't bring human rights to us! What did you do? You conquered us, you trampled on us, you burned our summer bells!"
I visited China last year after leaving it for 67 years, and become keenly aware that Kishore is so factual in his presentation. He is so accurate, logical, and persuasive, after the visit last year, I changed my opinion about China completely. The level of personal freedom is superior to that of western world because of their sense of security. I saw single woman freely roam the streets in the wee hours without fear. I saw business people including street vendors so busily engage in their businesses. I enjoyed the fried noodle from a young couple hawking their treats in the street corner around midnight which I couldn't possibly do in the west. I believe we should try to best china with all the talents we have instead of suppressing them. Suppressors will not get support from the rest of the world.
@@ianlam6107 The most watched city in the world is not in China, it is London. In America J Edgar Hoover was head of FBI and had dossiers on every politician and person of interest, including presidents, to the extent no one dare sack him because of what he knew about them. You come on the internet and you make what you think is a smart fatuous comment consisting of one sentence, without thinking. It is just like this Tom. He is criticising China about its civil rights while there are piles of civil rights violations by the west behind him. The first concentration camps were in Sth Africa and were British, where thousands of women and children died. Of course you have never been to China, you probably haven't been anywhere, have probably never read anything other than western propaganda and make a stupid remark about surveillance in China as though the west wouldnt do such a thing. Julian Assange is being held in a British jail awaiting extradition to the United States. His crime? Publishing pictures of American troops using civilians as target practice in Iraq
You are conflating west with US, US is only crime riddled western country, classic self-centered american who is also willing to accept totalitarian way of dealing with crime than just accept that the chinese are trained to be obedient and they are as depressed and as unhappy as western people are if not more. Also If you want to talk about safest countries, check Arab Gulf Muslim states that have tried hard in the past to be as theocratic as possible but are still quite secular, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi = 0 crime, can fall asleep in middle of park with 1mil dollars in ur coffer and wake up with all of it in there still.
I think it will lead to a decoupling and a second cold war, with different nations taking one of two sides. The cause of this is not so much what China does internally (which is complex and different elements can be praised and criticized) but it is China attempting to employ illicit influence in Western countries. I suggest reading "Hidden Hand" by Professor Clive Hamilton (which the CCP tried to get banned).
@@davidkelly3883 Please refrain from personal attack if you are not able to engage in a gentleman discussion. Discussion requires just a little bit of common sense and simple judgement.
I am a graduate from Uni of Manchester, one of the finest university from the UK and have live there for 5 years plus I visited various European countries while I was studying in UK. I have also been to China from year 2004 till year 2018 the last time. So here comes my view based on my experience, number one, UK in general is at least 10 years behind when compared to first tier cities in China. Cities such as Beijing and Shanghai no longer use cash form of payment but instead e pay is more prevalent, electric cars is a normal mode of transport in China, Airport in China is miles ahead compared to airport like Heathrow and de gaulle. So the west wants to talk bout human rights, number one China brought 600 million people out of poverty without conquering or colonising a single country outside of its borders compared to the various wars that the west created when it rised to power. Number two, the west wants to educate China on human rights when half of the population haven't been to China while China send the most students and visitors to western world to learn and travel. So does the west know China more or vice versa? Number three, the west claims China is an oppressed state and have human rights violations, can the west answer the countless lives lost in world war1&2, Arab spring and the Vietnam War. So who is the human right violator now? I will let the world answer..
@@Andy-P Typical, I was counting on someone's reply like this one. Basiclly, your arrogant and hubris narrative is that any mindset different from that of anglo-saxon is brainwashed.

@@hainazheng8022 Insults from the pro-CCP lobby. To be expected. Otherwise thanks for the history lesson. Post WW2 the colonies were given up. Personally I don't think it is worth lecturing China on anything. Your comment displays arrogance and racism and that is a major reason that the west is rallying behind America against China & best friend Russia. Russia which is looking to re-create her empire.
If you live in the UK or west in general and don't travel you are educated in a bubble with no reality of the world outside of the west. Truely indoctrinated like Tom Tugenhat.
I am a 5th-generation Singaporean and have visited China a number of times as a tourist as well as to visit some distant relatives. Because I speak Chinese and look Chinese, I easily blend in with the locals so obviously I can observe them for what their perceptions really are vis-a-vis their own government and vis-a-vis the world. (Western visitors don't have this advantage to see the Chinese masses in their unguarded spontaneity). I can confirm what Kishore says is true - that the population are hugely supportive of their own government in contrast to the internal divisiveness of western domestic politics. Yes, they're keenly aware of corrupt elements within their district governments, but Xi's unrelenting efforts in ferreting out wayward officials at every level is very much supported by the masses. This continues to springboard China to a more gracious nation that the rest of the world can look to. It is for this reason the West and its media are royally envious and wish to take down China in any way they can - such as conjuring up an image of a repressive ruler terrorizing a frightened people (nothing is further from the truth).
China's agression in the SCS is for the world to see along with support for Russia invasion of democratic Ukraine. Things not going so well in Chuna economy now. No doubt all Chinese citizens support Dictator Xi no matter what he does.

It is so idiotic to talk to a seasoned diplomat without preparing all the facts! This is why UK is in such a shitty position now with this kind of low calibre politicians.
I have not listened to the whole debate yet but i will make some comments about thirty minutes of it: Firstly, Kishore's two arguments from beginning are blaming West for not coinciding reason with the debate's actual topic and nonsense because of Western's potantial trade traffic with asian countrys such as Japan, Singapore, South Korea etc. First statement is distraction from Chinese governments human right score because Tugenthat's actual charge to the Chinese Government is related to, i quoted directly from Kishore's dixit, China's internal matter. And China's (when i say China, i meant the Chinese government) legislative system, human rights score, occasion to imprisonment to Uyghurs, creating marking system of its citizens etc. are inclusive to Tugenthat's accusation. Western's past mistakes are one thing, blaming China for restriction of human rights is another thing. İ meant they're different subjects. Other accusation is about war history of Western countries. This is also a distraction. Western countries have more humane system comparable to most of asian or middle eastern countries. Espacially European countries such as England, France, Germany and all of Nordic countries. England and USA have been doing some mistake to lot of countries but in this matter, we have a distinction that i have made a short time ago.
The things that Tom spoke about, seems more like those that come from a child blindly reading off the web, without thoughts, research or understanding.
As an indian, I'm so proud of Kishore. He is the only one with indian descent who seems to understand china and looks through western hypocrisy. I wish india was more pro china. We would have been in more benefit than with western capitalism. Luv china 🇨🇳 from 🇮🇳

Tom, if you are reading , just look at your own country going to another lockdown while China has gone economically productive full steam a few months ago.

I struggle to take this so called debate seriously. For a moment, I thought it was a comedy show set up to depict brilliance versus stupidity. One was insightful, analytical and masterful. The other was a word for word regurgitation of typical western propaganda against china. This was no contest much like an adult giving a lesson to a preschooler.
I think this panel should also talk about whether or not Britain and USA have also been involved in the same crime as the Australian army while in Aghanistan.

@Touhidul Islam Abir Huwawei was blocked because the CCP have total control of all companies in China and could use them for any purpose. The CCP is a propaganda machine. Don't be fooled.
@Touhidul Islam Abir CCP is THE problem in China. You talk about western countries as if they are just one country with one opinion, one media, one government and a venedetta against China. The reality is China is one country, one government, one opinion and no independent media. Snowden's allegations about NSA were published by the Washington Post and the Guardian, both INDEPENDENT MEDIA in the US that can hold the government to account. In the CCP's China, no independent media is allowed, all dissent is crushed and there is nobody to hold it to account.
The problem is that many of the concerns other countries have with the government of the People’s Republic are dismissed because the CCP can never show weakness, this means never admitting fault even of it was responsible. Instead the CCP Foreign Ministry blames everyone except the government of the PRC which has never admitted fault for anything.
China superiority has to do with numbers. Let’s say UK has a population of 60 million, China has a population 20 times that of UK.

No point in going to intl court about HK because HK is fine, with National security law. I live in HK. To Kishore’s point, for those who only criticize, please visit China and talk to the people who live there. Tom’s word: “China is more aggressive than we are used to.” Note: ‘ used to’, ie the past.
West, especially American has been aggressive all the time, but problem is : only American can be aggressive towards China, if China respond to their aggression assertively...... Americans: Be tough on them!
HK without National Security Law is like any other country without traffic fines. Who the hell will stop speeding and parking illegally if there are no consequences for doing illegal traffic related offences? What a farce for those against National Security Law when your own country has them

Wow! Professor Kishore totally wipe the floor with our English representative in this debate. I am so embarrass when he was taught a history lesson on the atrocities we inflicted on China. Wow
Thank you so much, the Honourable Mahbubani for your contributions to the world peace and standing by the facts!!! Our world needs you and you matter!!!
Thumb up to Professor Kishore Mahbubeni for his knowledge and objectivity. Regarding the British politician participating in the debate, I got the feeling that with such ignorant person in charge, his country would have difficulty in really solving the world's problem if it sincerely intend to do so.
Your debate against Kishore about China can’t win at all because the West hasn’t have prominent scholars who possess pragmatism and see things as it is. Any pragmatic western scholars will be hidden under the bed because they could never be ‘ popular’ in the Western Hemisphere if they say out what they think. It will undermine the political correctness in that region!
I am from Hong Kong and I support the Chinese government. Respect Hong Kong and China and stop interfering and stop your position that you have the moral high ground to our society. Britain should be wise - this is not 1842 and the Chinese are not afraid of standing up to imperialism and post colonialism.
My question is this: "By what moral right do they have to try to get tough on China?" Look first to what they have done to others before criticizing China. As for Australia, my question is, is it okay if a person from the west makes an editorial or a political satire but not okay if the same is made by China?

Somebody once said: there are two types of people regarding China, those who are always negative about China, and those who have been to China. There is really not much point having this debate in public in a western country simply because the western media is overwhelmingly biased against China, and public opinion is dictated by the media.

The conservative MP is totally unprepared to debate and all he does is mumble boilerplate statements that he repeated over and over. Kishore crushed his opponent.
There won't be a war if China can help it. It will take a massive act of war by the US for China to be drawn to a war. Right now, we have a man (China) desperately trying to ward off the insults and dares to a fight by an agressive teenager (US). China has come so far in just three decades from one very poor nation to one who is poised to become the world's leader in technology and economy in about 5 years. They are on track having become the world's number 1 trading partner and investor. They go to nations inviting them to invest and doesn't meddle with their internal issues and politics. Why is China going to derail all that just to go to war with the US who has become stagnant and beset with internal problems like BLM, divisiveness, growing poverty, massive debts, degradation of values leading to crimes and 2 million in prisons, etc. For all we know, the US will implode just by themselves alone.
I don't think Tom Tugendhat's version of reality matches actual reality. His description of Beijing does not match at all my experience of three years ago. I think he's projecting a dystopian fantasy that may have been correct half a century ago, but has since died at the hands of competence, hope, vision, and opportunity.
This little British is fading, doesn't matter what he speaks, he might think he live in 100 years ago. No one really cares about what he says, and Britain is just a third-class country, and that's it.

Only then did I understand that the Western media was just to split China, and there was never the truth in the west media. ua-cam.com/video/Xsoc4-QnplY/v-deo.html
Best quote of the day, "You have no moral right to lecture us. When we were weak, when we were down trodden, when our people were suffering from poverty, when our people were suffering from famine, when our people were suffering from starvation, you didn't bring human rights to us! What did you do? You conquered us, you trampled on us, you burned our summer bells!"
That was the Summer Palace, just saying…
Summer palace, not "bells". It was a huge garden complex of a hundred luxury palaces, pagodas, gardens, lakes, the size of NY Central park.
I visited China last year after leaving it for 67 years, and become keenly aware that Kishore is so factual in his presentation. He is so accurate, logical, and persuasive, after the visit last year, I changed my opinion about China completely. The level of personal freedom is superior to that of western world because of their sense of security. I saw single woman freely roam the streets in the wee hours without fear. I saw business people including street vendors so busily engage in their businesses. I enjoyed the fried noodle from a young couple hawking their treats in the street corner around midnight which I couldn't possibly do in the west. I believe we should try to best china with all the talents we have instead of suppressing them. Suppressors will not get support from the rest of the world.
Yes, no need to worry, there are many monitoring cameras everywhere too. Big brother is watching. All fine
@@ianlam6107 The most watched city in the world is not in China, it is London. In America J Edgar Hoover was head of FBI and had dossiers on every politician and person of interest, including presidents, to the extent no one dare sack him because of what he knew about them. You come on the internet and you make what you think is a smart fatuous comment consisting of one sentence, without thinking. It is just like this Tom. He is criticising China about its civil rights while there are piles of civil rights violations by the west behind him. The first concentration camps were in Sth Africa and were British, where thousands of women and children died. Of course you have never been to China, you probably haven't been anywhere, have probably never read anything other than western propaganda and make a stupid remark about surveillance in China as though the west wouldnt do such a thing. Julian Assange is being held in a British jail awaiting extradition to the United States. His crime? Publishing pictures of American troops using civilians as target practice in Iraq
Obvious propaganda is propaganda.
@@samuelboucher1454 , Isn't such talks propaganda too?
You are conflating west with US, US is only crime riddled western country, classic self-centered american who is also willing to accept totalitarian way of dealing with crime than just accept that the chinese are trained to be obedient and they are as depressed and as unhappy as western people are if not more. Also If you want to talk about safest countries, check Arab Gulf Muslim states that have tried hard in the past to be as theocratic as possible but are still quite secular, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Saudi = 0 crime, can fall asleep in middle of park with 1mil dollars in ur coffer and wake up with all of it in there still.
Get tough with China? How? Like what you did to Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya? Feel free to try then.
The West: We promote human rights! Not so much in Afghanistan though
Good point
@@stonechen6231 wrong we pretend promoting human rights
This time will destroy them once for alls.
I think it will lead to a decoupling and a second cold war, with different nations taking one of two sides. The cause of this is not so much what China does internally (which is complex and different elements can be praised and criticized) but it is China attempting to employ illicit influence in Western countries. I suggest reading "Hidden Hand" by Professor Clive Hamilton (which the CCP tried to get banned).
Delusional is the perfect word to describe Tom Tugendhat.

I am a graduate from Uni of Manchester, one of the finest university from the UK and have live there for 5 years plus I visited various European countries while I was studying in UK. I have also been to China from year 2004 till year 2018 the last time. So here comes my view based on my experience, number one, UK in general is at least 10 years behind when compared to first tier cities in China. Cities such as Beijing and Shanghai no longer use cash form of payment but instead e pay is more prevalent, electric cars is a normal mode of transport in China, Airport in China is miles ahead compared to airport like Heathrow and de gaulle. So the west wants to talk bout human rights, number one China brought 600 million people out of poverty without conquering or colonising a single country outside of its borders compared to the various wars that the west created when it rised to power. Number two, the west wants to educate China on human rights when half of the population haven't been to China while China send the most students and visitors to western world to learn and travel. So does the west know China more or vice versa? Number three, the west claims China is an oppressed state and have human rights violations, can the west answer the countless lives lost in world war1&2, Arab spring and the Vietnam War. So who is the human right violator now? I will let the world answer..
Your education in UK didn't teach you the non CCP definition of human rights
@@Andy-P Typical, I was counting on someone's reply like this one. Basiclly, your arrogant and hubris narrative is that any mindset different from that of anglo-saxon is brainwashed.

@@hainazheng8022 Insults from the pro-CCP lobby. To be expected. Otherwise thanks for the history lesson. Post WW2 the colonies were given up. Personally I don't think it is worth lecturing China on anything. Your comment displays arrogance and racism and that is a major reason that the west is rallying behind America against China & best friend Russia. Russia which is looking to re-create her empire.

@@Andy-Pgreat reply from hypocritical west expert
I am a 5th-generation Singaporean and have visited China a number of times as a tourist as well as to visit some distant relatives. Because I speak Chinese and look Chinese, I easily blend in with the locals so obviously I can observe them for what their perceptions really are vis-a-vis their own government and vis-a-vis the world. (Western visitors don't have this advantage to see the Chinese masses in their unguarded spontaneity).
I can confirm what Kishore says is true - that the population are hugely supportive of their own government in contrast to the internal divisiveness of western domestic politics. Yes, they're keenly aware of corrupt elements within their district governments, but Xi's unrelenting efforts in ferreting out wayward officials at every level is very much supported by the masses. This continues to springboard China to a more gracious nation that the rest of the world can look to.
It is for this reason the West and its media are royally envious and wish to take down China in any way they can - such as conjuring up an image of a repressive ruler terrorizing a frightened people (nothing is further from the truth).
China's agression in the SCS is for the world to see along with support for Russia invasion of democratic Ukraine. Things not going so well in Chuna economy now. No doubt all Chinese citizens support Dictator Xi no matter what he does.
Tom Tugendhat is so weak when debate with Kishore, they are not at same level

Hahahahaha......it's so true
Mr. Mahbubani basically slapped their faces again and again.
It is so idiotic to talk to a seasoned diplomat without preparing all the facts! This is why UK is in such a shitty position now with this kind of low calibre politicians.
I have not listened to the whole debate yet but i will make some comments about thirty minutes of it:
Firstly, Kishore's two arguments from beginning are blaming West for not coinciding reason with the debate's actual topic and nonsense because of Western's potantial trade traffic with asian countrys such as Japan, Singapore, South Korea etc.
First statement is distraction from Chinese governments human right score because Tugenthat's actual charge to the Chinese Government is related to, i quoted directly from Kishore's dixit, China's internal matter. And China's (when i say China, i meant the Chinese government) legislative system, human rights score, occasion to imprisonment to Uyghurs, creating marking system of its citizens etc. are inclusive to Tugenthat's accusation.
Western's past mistakes are one thing, blaming China for restriction of human rights is another thing. İ meant they're different subjects.
Other accusation is about war history of Western countries. This is also a distraction. Western countries have more humane system comparable to most of asian or middle eastern countries. Espacially European countries such as England, France, Germany and all of Nordic countries. England and USA have been doing some mistake to lot of countries but in this matter, we have a distinction that i have made a short time ago.
The things that Tom spoke about, seems more like those that come from a child blindly reading off the web, without thoughts, research or understanding.
Tom was just regurgitating the standard Western propaganda without critical thinking. Typical brainwashed Westerner.
As an indian, I'm so proud of Kishore. He is the only one with indian descent who seems to understand china and looks through western hypocrisy. I wish india was more pro china. We would have been in more benefit than with western capitalism.

The reality is China is one country, one government, one opinion and no independent media. Snowden's allegations about NSA were published by the Washington Post and the Guardian, both INDEPENDENT MEDIA in the US that can hold the government to account. In the CCP's China, no independent media is allowed, all dissent is crushed and there is nobody to hold it to account.
There should be a debate: Should China get tough with the West! China has been tolerating all the allegations and insults thrown at them!
It is not our culture to get tough on other ppl or country. But we will if its really necessary
The problem is that many of the concerns other countries have with the government of the People’s Republic are dismissed because the CCP can never show weakness, this means never admitting fault even of it was responsible. Instead the CCP Foreign Ministry blames everyone except the government of the PRC which has never admitted fault for anything.

Somebody once said: there are two types of people regarding China, those who are always negative about China, and those who have been to China. There is really not much point having this debate in public in a western country simply because the western media is overwhelmingly biased against China, and public opinion is dictated by the media. If China is truly so oppressive, every year there are 150 million people traveling to outside China for holiday, these are holiday makers touring around on their own for sightseeing, shopping, cruising etc, and they are all willingly going back to China to continue to be ‘ oppressed’, please think about that!

I suspect he is not misled. He is probably a soldier trying to maintain the prominence of western political ideology. They cant tolerate that a different political system other than electoral (liberal democracy) can be economically successful. A remnant of a dying era of western hegemony. Hegemons will not give up their hegemony so easily.
Did UK followed International laws when they joined the US in the illegal war invading Iraq!
Obviously not, UK and many all participated western countries were just followed blindly to invade Iraq, Syria and Libya just named a few. They are just ganged up for bullying spree. Disgusting? Well it’s the way the west behaves, awfully inhuman.
Dont forget Canada and its "rule of law" participated in the illegal invasion of iraq too.
The world must not be blackmailed by a few countries in the west.
Values!
Not really
Just greed
Listed all these nonsense talking point human rights, which they abusing everyday
The west are the worst violaters of human rights.
Your channel has no content. You create accounts for political trolling.
@@lesselp You clearly haven't heard of private accounts, not everyone that watches UA-cam is a UA-camr lmao 😂, can't believe this needed to be said
@@skazka3789 You clearly haven't heard of Russian and Chinese troll accounts that are almost all 'private'/no content. Those trolls also don't understand what 'debate' means or what 'journalism' means. They go to any video or forum where Russia or China is mentioned and take everything as an attack by 'the West'. Look at other videos on this channel and you will see debates against 'the West'. That is what debate and journalism is.
@@lesselp Calling people you disagree with "trolls" is a massive cope
Kishore Mahbubani, what a wise man!
RESPECT!!!!!
OMG！ This UK speaker is so imprisoned by his biased viewpoint of China that whenever he spoke, I can't stop laughing.
Omg, this is the quality of the chair of the commons foreign affairs committee. Unbelieable. Good luck uk.
This is a useless debate, the arguments for the motion are based on agressive MSM lies to begin with.
@Marco - yes you are right, I agree with you absolutely. Tom is simply REPEATING, LIKE A PARROT, ad nauseam all the lies that he have swallowed from Western politicians and media. He should heed Kishore's advice : get off his butt and visit and investigate China on the ground for himself and stop making a fool of himself.
Those in glass house should not throw stones.
In reality it's time for China to get tough on the west.
Voice of reason and sanity from a great thinker, Kishore Mahbubani
FREE People? Jack Ma! Does Tom even understand what he is saying?
He don't understand. He just say of the sake of saying.
You want to work with FREE PEOPLE?? Tom, do you know how many Chinese tourists FREELY travel out of China to visit the world AND WENT BACK FREELY to their home country, CHINA?? Tom, YOU ARE Sooo IGNORANT !!!! DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you come on to debate !!!
it got me worried Tom chair foreign affairs. he argument is bias and baseless without fact.
He is an electred representative and he stated the facts.
@@Andy-P Aha
@@Andy-P Hitler was also an elected representative. Tom's "facts" are unsubstantiated, just religiously followed Murdock's propaganda to smear China.
@@justify3733 If you want to look to similarties. Late 30's Germany with China now. Control of the press, an aggrieved nation, new military, territorial desires, claiming to be the saviour of a race, concentration camps. Its all there. Finally the supreme leader. It just a train crash waiting to happen.
@@Andy-P pathetic. Chinese people today view the brainwashed westerners like you with deep sympathy, you don’t even have freedom to access truth in your western environment
Prof Mabubani speaks for the benefit of the masses, while Tom stands with the elite.
It's more likely that Tom's Stand is of the old school. He is talking about something out of nothing.
it’s long overdue China should get tough on the west
Let’s do part 2: it’s time the East gets tough on USA.
Enough is enough, Let’s admit it, US has been bullying many countries including some of their allies, ever since USSR collapsed. Just for everyone’s benefit, maybe when stronger China exists, US will stop bullying others in between and be nice again.
Tom Tugendhat really need to come to China to experience normal people's lives in China. "I am helping Chinese people by speaking out for them" is totally hallucination.
Mr. Kishore nail it to the head.
Why US & UK didn't follow the international accord of leave Diego Garcia island?? This island is not belong to the anglo. and Kishore also said Taiwan is part of China since hundred years ago. Not to mention HK was forced by the british under gunpoint.
Well said Mr. Kishore.. 👏👏👏
Was there a move on "getting tough" on the USA for waterboarding like the current move on China? Hypocrisy at its best.
Well done Kishore..you proved that reasons and fact can change opinions..
It does not do Kishore justice having to debate with a guy like Tom.
Tom, you are so short minded. British and the some of the western countries need to apologize to the world for the atrocities they committed in recent years and through out the history of its colonization of other countries and China!
I think Tom was in Beijing in the times of Mao's cultural revolution ...
Watching a mental breakdown guy vs wise man man debate.
Kishore is wasting his time debating with a lunatic.
west is like failed exam, then let us get tough on teacher.. what a joke..
In a sentence, Kishore kicks ass with logic and fact
I feel very sorry for that western man.
Can’t even distinguish a drawing from a photo...
But that drawing looks so authentic.
Not only that but he's more concerned about a drawing than actual war crimes committed by Australian soldiers. It's like someone blaming a mirror for their looks.
@@中華傲訣 go google on the term "Photobashing", its a form of art by the way
中华傲诀 But there is no such thing as big puzzles with Afghan flags painted on.
@@abhishekmhatre1554 great!
A country with no human rights have no right to criticise another country based on 'lies '.
The conservative MP is totally unprepared to debate and all he does is mumble boilerplate statements that he repeated over and over. Kishore crushed his opponent.
Intelligence squared?
One intelligent head and one squared head. Choose your pick. I prefer the former diplomat from Singapore. Which one do you pick?
If there is a WW3, I really hope people drag these "experts" out and gave them plus their families what they deserve.
If WW3 has to be fought lets hope it is to protect the democratic countries. Not for interfering in Afghan, Syria, Iraq and Libiya and such,
There won't be a war if China can help it. It will take a massive act of war by the US for China to be drawn to a war. Right now, we have a man (China) desperately trying to ward off the insults and dares to a fight by an agressive teenager (US).
China has come so far in just three decades from one very poor nation to one who is poised to become the world's leader in technology and economy in about 5 years. They are on track having become the world's number 1 trading partner and investor. They go to nations inviting them to invest and doesn't meddle with their internal issues and politics. Why is China going to derail all that just to go to war with the US who has become stagnant and beset with internal problems like BLM, divisiveness, growing poverty, massive debts, degradation of values leading to crimes and 2 million in prisons, etc. For all we know, the US will implode just by themselves alone.
I don't think Tom Tugendhat's version of reality matches actual reality. His description of Beijing does not match at all my experience of three years ago. I think he's projecting a dystopian fantasy that may have been correct half a century ago, but has since died at the hands of competence, hope, vision, and opportunity.
This little British is fading, doesn't matter what he speaks, he might think he live in 100 years ago. No one really cares about what he says, and Britain is just a third-class country, and that's it.
How exactly do you get tough with the country that manufactures all your products without destroying your profit margin?
Watched this because of Kishore.
kishore is awesome. it's why the US desperately needs a serious ambassador like mayor pete.
