  1. "Pipelines" is a plural noun. They take, not "takes," decades to construct. If you're asleep as you make your video, why should we take anything you say seriously?

  2. I don't think either government defines its policies in English.

  3. This video is nonsense: China's prominence as "The World's Manufacturer" is fading simply because it has succeeded. China is now above the world's average wealth in its own average wealth. This means that it is now exporting as many new jobs as it is importing. Chinese companies are now investing -- and exporting jobs -- in Vietnam, Indonesia, and even, gawdhelpus, India. You want high rate of new jobs? Look to the places where China is investing, starting with the rest of Asia, and in future Africa, too.

  4. Mexico moving on up, which is a very good thing, does not challenge China: it just means Mexico is competing with Vietnam and India is taking up the crude industries China no longer needs. China's aging population no longer needs hand assembly work. Mexico, Vietnam, and anybody else are all welcome to it.

  5. Congratulations: a five-minute video condensed into nineteen minutes. Um, and a bit. Needs work: you couldn't find a way of padding it out to twenty?

  6. There is nothing "insightful" about the stupid whine which is the whole content of this video. China has simply developed to the point where it is now exporting jobs -- to Vietnam, to indonesia, to all the places where people still want to to the cheap dirty work that Chinese semi-skilled workers were doing yesterday. Hang it up, Business Baiscs: you've just lost track and you aren't in the game anymore.

  7. India lends money but China engages in debt-trap diplomacy? Um, can't you come up with slanders a wee bit more subtle than that?

  8. Britain faded out when it voted for Brexit. Now they've voted Labour so there's some chance they'll get back in the game. It's tempting to give up on them, but they seem to have this way of pulling it out at the last minute.

  9. There is a temptation to think of every revolution as symbolic of misery. There are also so-called revolutions of rising expectations -- revolutions caused by mass impatience when the future looks good but the good isn't coming fast enough. In 1905, the largest building in the world was the Singer Sewing Machine Company's factory in Siberia. It was built at the Czar's behest by a brilliant Harvard-trained engineer named Dixon -- whose son John was later to be an FSO2 serving the State Department in Moscow, and also a founder of Xerox Corporation -- and of the CIA. The two fastest spreading inventions of all time are said to have been eyeglasses and the sewing machine. Not the car. Not the hula hoop. I don't know, but it's plausible. My point is just that to some, the year 1905 looked hopeful for Russia -- and the Czar wanted every home to have a sewing machine. 😪

  10.  @billbellell9462  His memory has clearly been destroyed by hunger. What he's trying to tell us is, when the dogs are all gone the cats are next. As the saying goes, Si comederis canem tuum cattus tuus fugiet. The problem being, the cats' paws are not very good at wielding pitchforks.
