  1. ''The West has corrupted itself financially, politically, and even spiritually ever since then.'' Yep, due to this hubris, arrogance, condescending perspective which has not changed one bit all this time...

  2.  @rickstevenson9585  I don't have an anti America worldview, my view of the US or other countries are based on factual evidence, logic and reason, I will then make a judgement about that country. You however defend America on blind bias. You speak as if the US has NO or little part in the whole affair/crisis that is taking place in Europe (involving the Ukraine war), which is very suspicious on your part (you are in denial or you have an agenda?). The US is heavily involved in the Ukraine conflict , which contributes to the cost of living crisis and deindustrialization of Europe (which the US benefits from it), there is no amount of denying could remove these facts. The US is fighting the Russians via Ukraine, it has sent billions of dollars worth of financial support, weapons and more to Ukraine, all for the geopolitical interests of the US, and US only. No, the US is not doing charity to the Ukrainians, your politicians have made it clear, your country is using Ukraine (till the last Ukrainians) to ''defeat'' Russia, again no amount of denying could remove this fact. I have also watched many videos where Russian POW were tortured and murdered, so Ukraine (with the full support of US/West) is not innocent and morally superior. Since you suggested that some other European countries also have the incentive to sabotage the pipelines, so again it would be very much in the interest of the US/West to find out the truth of the investigation (to prove Russia or these other European countries did it), but NO, the US/West is not pushing for the investigation to progress instead they are silent, especially Germany, the co-owner of the pipelines not in any hurry to find out who destroyed their infrastructure, while both your president and secretary of state have made statements repeatedly saying the implementation of the pipelines does not serve the interests of the US and it needs to be stopped. Again, you can dismiss this all you like, but that form a very important part of the evidence for most other people in the world, but your blind patriotism do not allow you ever see your country as being evil. The fact that your country has repeatedly invaded, occupied, destroyed countries for its own (geopolitical) gain all can be conveniently forgotten because that does not go along with your current narrative. Keep fooling yourself.

  5.  countson6088  I would not say most, but yes a few think like that, many of whom are simply naive and kind natured. They need to come to the West like I have done to understand the West is not all that great, in fact a lot worse than China in many respects. Also as the US/West is going full contain China mode, that will help to wake them up from this bubble.

  6. Absolutely. Mutual respect and win-win cooperation are China's foreign policy. China's business is business, when the world does well economically, it is good for business. On the other hand, the US business is perpetual wars and destruction, it holds onto its hegemony by suppressing the growth of all other countries, a very backward mentality.

  7. It is obvious the Global South countries are re-evaluating their relationships with the US/West, they realized (long ago) the US/West is not a force for good, they don't genuinely care about peace and economical developments of the Global South, they just use them when convenient for their own selfish goals and abandon them when their uses are up. The only foolish countries are the ones who are still blindly following the US polices and ''values'', namely the Europeans.

  8. America has a uni-party of warmongers, they get rich from weapon manufacturers contracted with US tax payers' money as the expense of lives from all these foreign wars. The least they give a f is the human rights, freedom, democracy of these ''subhumans'' dying.

  9. The EU obeys the US' "rules based order". It is not allowed to act on its own best interest (as it has no economical political and military sovereignty). China and Russia doesn't obey, hence are portrayed as the enemies. But China and Russia doesn't care what the US/West deems them to be, at the end of the day, by working together and with others, they are overtaking the US/West in all regards, most importantly improving their people's living standards while Western citizens' living standards are getting worse.

  10. How a country lacks fuel and gas could run its army efficiently, this has to be a joke. Do the Germans support such a war?

  11. I agree with your analysis Ben, there are so many signs of this shift, it is quite surprising actually, just goes to show when the Western ship is sinking fast, people jump it off FAST, so to speak. Apart from the Europeans, and I actually want Europe to suffer, sorry, you deserve every bit of your incoming bad fate, Karma will always come, it is just a matter of time.

  13. So much truth from this powerful speech, summing up these capitalist ultra liberal Western societies pretty well, increasingly the Western leadership does not even care about its own people, of course not to mention they have never cared about the people whom they consider inferior.

  15. I guess the Western banks could no longer finance the PGI after their bankers gambled and lost all the deposits, and they know the Western governments are probably not going to bail them out with tax payers' money again like they did in 2008. Most average Western citizens have little savings and the US/West can't tap into the Chinese deposits sector though they've tried very hard over the past years.

  16. I know these Western leaders love to indulge in their own delusion, but ''the entire world'' Von Der Lying describes is a world with China, India, Russia, Iran... in it, if these Western colonialists supremacists want to exclude these countries, it will only mean they are isolating themselves. ''The entire world'' can see the Western domination is ending, it is up to the West to control the speed of it.

  17. But eventually Ukraine will be abandoned like all puppets of the West. Ukraine doesn't have sovereignty let alone freedom.

  18. Thank you Ben for covering this very important topic. The US just refuses to leave the world in peace, it wants to drag everyone else with it while going down toward an extremely dangerous path with no way back.

  19. It is a strong partnership, probably the strongest ever in the history of China Russia diplomatic/economic relations, but not an alliance, especially in the military sense, as non alliance together with non interference is China's top foreign policy agenda, i.e. it does not wish to be dragged into a war/conflict of its ''alliance'' and will always strive to remain neutral. And bloc confrontation is what China tries very much to avoid.

  20. China occupies countries? Lol, nice projecting. China has no interest dominating the world like the US does, neither it wants to spread its economic and political model. And you calling Chinese government fascists is another ignorant projection, the majority Chinese population approve their government, and they also think their government responds well to their democratic needs, and no they are not mindless robots.

  21. @dyong888 Yeah agreed, Westerners think China embraced Western capitalism after Deng's reform, but private enterprise has always been a major part of the Chinese economy/society since ancient times, and most in the West don't even know that private sector contributes to 70% of the Chinese economy today, though China's capitalism is regulated to curb excessive profit making.

  22.  @dfwherbie8814  So you married a Chinese, what, does that somehow qualify you for a China expert? Lol. I never said you said China has no religious freedom, I said if you believed China has no religious freedom, then you are wrong. Learn to read. ''Do you have all of these pre-written in your notes, and you copy and paste whenever a comment somewhat comes close to the content of these pre-written responses?'' You don't like people making assumptions of you, but you have no problem making assumptions of me. What, are you hinting I am a Chinese government propagandist? Sounds like this is what you are saying. No, I spent a good 10 mins writing my own response in my own words based on my own knowledge and research. ''Anyway, Mao removed religion from China as a means to move away from “superstition.” But here’s the problem, in removing religion, the government has mad itself into the religion of the people. And that is problematic however you dice it up.'' Total nonsense. Mao never removed religion neither did he remove superstition (typical Western anti China talking point probably based on what your media falsely described about ''Cultural Revolution'', which is a completely baseless claim). This statement of your shows you have no clue about this topic. And the government has never made itself into the religion of the people, again another typical Western anti China talking point you are repeating here. The Chinese government (past and current) has overwhelming approval of the Chinese people because of what they've done for them (providing them a better life) and what they've achieved for the country not because they've been forcing people to worship them like a god. Anyway, you don't have a clue about China, and your wife failed to educate you, unless she doesn't have a clue herself.

  23. Where are all the Neoliberal economic policies the Capitalist West holds dear? No more Opium forced down the Chinese throats in the name of ''Free Trade''? Nice narrative glorifying your colonial history. Lol, time has changed, now the West cancels you when they can't compete.

  24.  @kittytrail  You should apologize for the total disgrace you have brought onto yourself and your family, what a complete embarrassment and a joke you are. You clearly favour Western capitalism that has brutally exploited and continues to slave ordinary working people who you despise, that is why you hate China's effort on bringing their people out of poverty and hunger caused by capitalists and helping them to stand on their own feet again.

  25. The boss of ByteDance has already said they have no intention to sell TikTok to an American company, strictly following China's technology export restrictions. Another one of US so called neoliberal values (free market, free trade) is exposed as fake, this is what ''rules based order'' is all about. Rules for thee not for me.

  26. TIP (Turkistan Islamic Party) is a rebranded ETIM (The East Turkestan Islamic Movement), a Xinjiang separatist organisation. ETIM was on the US Terrorist Organisations' list from September 2002 (removed from the List on October 2020), which the US was actively fighting against in Afghanistan. Though it was at the same time being funded, armed and trained by the US to carry out terrorist attacks all over China (from late 1990s to 2014), to stir up Xinjiang separatism and destabilise/contain China. The Telegraph just made a video promoting an armed terrorist organisation, endorsing their objective of using violence to destabilise China and potentially causing deaths and injuries to Chinese civilians. This is how low the Western media would go to achieve their ultimate regime change goal for China. Both the Tiananmen Square student protests in 1989 and Hong Kong extradition bill protests were US/Western incited colour revolutions with CIA US/Western NGOs' fingerprints all over.

  29. These American exceptionslist believers are finally getting a taste of their own medicine, they clearly haven't thought much about the consequences of using dollars as a weapon to get countries to do what they want. Hopefully more countries will move away from dollar transactions which in turn remove the US' ability to sanction countries and fund its endless wars.

  30. KMT has been a US propped up puppet party, was and still doing the biddings for the US/West against Chinese people's interests, that's why it got abandoned by the Chinese and kicked out of the Mainland, but it has never supported Taiwan independence. China's official policy on Taiwan has always been peaceful reunification, it is the US who has been provoking China by promoting Taiwan independence pushing China towards war so it can use as an excuse to sanction China, to contain China's rise. China is NOT threatening to "invade" Taiwan, it is deterring the separatist forces in Taiwan, China is the one who is trying to maintain peace in that region whereas the US wants to stir up tension and conflicts. You people should get your facts straight and stop being stooges of your warmongering elites.

  31.  @kubhlaikhan2015  Anyone attempts to minimise the detrimental effects of Western/British colonialism/imperialism/aggression/subjugation towards another nation is essentially in support of Western/British colonialism/imperialism/aggression/subjugation. The sentiments that countries should stop playing victim and find causes from within for the Western Empires' exploitation and injustice are typically shared by racists like yourself, so calling me a racist is clearly a projection of yours, like most of your nonsensical statements from your earlier comment, they appear to be nothing but projection. You pathetic attempt to link the Chinese internal injustice or even some so called secessionist movements with the British trade is absolutely absurd and you certainly have made this up in your wild imagination. Your bias against China is obvious, but you are entitled to your opinion and it remains that, because you have once again spoken of NO fact, to support your ridiculous accusation of China. I care little of your political ideology nor your membership or sympathy with an illegal cult, I care about the fact that Britain has committed severe crimes against humanity both in its colonial era and in recent history. The fact that your school system and media continue to hide and twist truth from your people is unforgivable and unjustifiable.

  32.  @kubhlaikhan2015  You indeed know NOTHING about MY country, its history, its attitude, its school system or anything else as you said you never set foot there for a day. I however have lived in both China and UK for more than 20 years each. You can speak for yourself and take my facts as racial abuse all you like, but you can't change the fact your country is one of the most racist and ignorant country in the world, one that committed many crimes against the people of other countries yet completely failed to reflect and learn from your past wrong doings (still killing the Ukrainians as we speak). NO MATTER HOW ROSY OF A PORTRAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO PAINT OF YOURSELVES. The fact that majority of your people don't feel ashamed about the British Empire speaks volumes about your country.

  33.  @kubhlaikhan2015  Your ignorance is ravelling at an incredible speed. I will just try one more time to correct all the misinformation and lies you put out for the people who happen to read our conversation. China has one of the strictest laws if not THE strictest laws on drugs among all countries on this planet. Any drug related crimes big or small receive indiscriminately severe punishment, it is NOT possible to have illegal drug trade performed on any Chinese online commerce platforms, so there your lies busted already. There are however still illegal drug related activities taking place inside China because of huge demands coming from mainly the West, yes Western companies (healthcare, pharmaceutical and more) trade/prescribe these illegal drugs to its population for the sole purpose of seeking profit (like what the West did with China with the opium trade). That is why all Western governments have made agreements to work with the Chinese governments (as well as other countries) to combat illegal drug trade, so NO, China does NOT export illegal drugs, another fat lie busted. China has 56 ethnic groups, the largest minority group being Muslims with a population of 26 million, served by 28,000 mosques in each and every town and city across China. There are also 44 million Christians in China served by 7000 churches located in every major Chinese city. There are 846,000 foreign nationals living in China, last time I checked it was the UK that has an increase of some 300% on racially motivated attacks on Chinese/Asian, not in China. There is NO such city called Peking. It is a name only how Western imperialists call the capital of China, it is called Beijing today, again only people have a view of China from the last century still use this term. Same for Sinkiang, the fact that you still use these terms shows your frame of mind still stays in the last century, so are your understanding of China, needless to say. Tibet has been a part of China since 1264, when Mongol led Yuan Dynasty of China incorporated it as an autonomous region. Inner Mongolia also became a part of China at around the same time when the Mongols conquered the whole of China. Xijiang (Sinkiang) has been a part of China all the way back to Han Dynasty (200 century BC) and the region was used as a trade route (silk road) ever since that time. Taiwan has been an official province of China since 1600s during the Qing Dynasty, with earlier migration coming from the Mainland as early as 1300s. Over 90% of Taiwan's population are of Han Chinese and they speak mandarin. I frankly don't care about your opinions of China, even though I can say based on what you've spoken so far that you are just as ignorant as an average Brit I have met (no surprise really thanks to your media and school system). I also am not going to debate with you if you personally feel the UK is a racist country or not, despite your own government brushed off its own commissioned report describing Britain's problem with institutionalised racism. Btw, it is completely alright for a White person to claim there is NO racist problem in his/her country, how laughable. You are dogging the topic under discussion by personally attacking me in order to deflect, distract from facts. I repeat again: Until Britain reflects and learns properly from its past wrong doings towards people of other nations, it will continue to be viewed by the people of the Global South as an existing force of colonialism/imperialism (as a matter of fact you still are), and you as a Brit is fully responsible for how your country is perceived. To me, Britain has been a force of evil, in the past and still today.

  41.  @krisstarring  Great comment and thank you. Churchill was a racist and he didn't even bother to hide it. The fact that he is still regarded highly by most British if not by most in the Anglo English speaking world reflects how deceiving the British colonial narrative has been. I quote from article ''Deconstructing the cult of Winston Churchill: racism, deification and nostalgia for empire - Benjamin T. Jones'' ''According to author Tariq Ali (from book: Winston Churchill: His Times, His Crimes). He (Churchill) informed the 1937 Peel Report on the British mandate in Palestine that First Nations in North America and Australia had been colonised by “a stronger race, a higher-grade race”.'' ''According to former British PM Harold Macmillan, Churchill floated “Keep England White” as a campaign slogan for the 1955 election. Perhaps most damning is the recollection of Churchill’s friend, the politician Violet Bonham Carter: when asked his opinion on China in 1954, he reportedly replied, “I hate people with slit eyes and pigtails”.'' ''Churchill’s view that “Indians breed like rabbits” was surely relevant to his decision not to deliver food supplies to Bengal during this famine as a matter of urgency.'' He viewed Arabs as an inferior race compared to Europeans of any stripe, in the case of Palestine he accused the Arabs of behaving like ''a dog in the manger'', ''I do not agree that the dog in the manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have laid there for a very long time.'' Regards to the native populations, ''I do not admit for instance that a great wrong has been done to the red Indians of America or the black people of Australia, I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race a higher grade race or at any rate a more worldly wise race to put it that way has come in and taken their place. '' if a nation (Britain) regards a racist as their ''hero'', then you know something is seriously wrong with your educational system, and you know why today many ethnic minorities in Britain still consider (through their personal experience) British society is as racist as 30 years ago (according to a recent YouGov survey)

  44. By forcing (South Asian) countries to take sides with the West, they will end up becoming closer to China, just like how the West is pushing China and Russia closer and closer, the West thinks by applying pressure - brutal force, countries will submit to their will, no, they will only rebel, and btw why would they side with the West for very little economical benefits when China is their number one and most important economical partner.

  45. Funny you praise Ben for his reports being well supported (by facts), but where are the sources of your claims here? I am Chinese. Do you know that President Xi has been combating corruption at all levels for over 10 years (since his leadership began)? Many officials/state sector employees big and small have received severe punishment, yes corruption is a very serious crime in China, could literally be punishable by death. Your so called mistresses issue that you brand as abuse of women in China is completely overblown and you provided zero facts to support the claim. I can tell you that, at least in the governmental officials/the CPC party members level, such behaviour is considered a serious breach of Party code, and would face investigations and removal from official capacity. The so called population crisis is once again an anti China talking point, according to experts, China will remain as populated as now by 2050 and still have the total number of labour force larger than the rest of the world labours combined, plus automation is already replacing labour in manufacturing. About the dams, no idea what that is all about, sounds like fake news. China is not perfect but your media is spewing insane amount of fake news about China, trust me, most of what they tell you is either fake or twisted truth. Watch Ben's channel, he has been so far spot on China, because he is not lazy, he does his research well unlike people like you.

  46.  @E4439Qv5  Lol, what you gonna support your claims with, Western MSM sources? Then save your time and energy. You China haters care about ''China's real future''? LOL, again, save your time and energy. The only people who genuinely care about China's future and doing something to make it better are the Chinese people themselves, I can tell you they are very happy with their government and the direction their country is going. You however can keep indulge in your fake news and delusion, and yes learn to cope, that will help too.

  47.  @Komeshokakunanwene  That "interconnection" is built on respect and true equality, both are seriously lack from the Europeans (generally speaking) due to the superiority and (White) saviour complex they've been brought up with. And the Chinese believe "humans and natures are one" (Taoism), "cause and effect (karma)" (Buddhism) and "respect family, elders (ancestors), self discipline and sacrifice (collectivism) from Confucianism. Very different mindsets than the Europeans.

  48. Ben has been true to his words, everything Ben has told you about China is supported/proved by facts, actual data and reality, whereas most if not everything your Western media and governments have told you about China is false (and can be easily proven to be false).

  50.  @walkerpublications4418  The ''mistress culture'' can in no way be described as mainstream, and is generally frowned on in the Chinese society. like the other commenter said, Chinese women run the house (financially), thanks to Mao's progressive policies regarding to women's liberation.
