  1. Americans need to face the fact that without China's help, USA would have zero chance of dialogue with North Korea, and only its sanctions to deal with North Korea. If Trump wants to take all the credit for China's efforts, then why don't Kim just visit Washington directly, instead of Beijing?

  2. China has 5000 years of history and is among the world's oldest 'continuous' civilization still alive today, whereas other great ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Rome and Egypt have since succumbed to history. China has a wealth of political literature, governing manuals, military textbooks, and leadership experiences to draw upon and help guide China's leaders in governing the world's most populous country.

  3. The Americans lost the Vietnam War to poorly trained, poorly equipped, starving Vietnamese peasant conscripts, who were fighting and dying for their homeland, while US troops were dying on foreign soil.

  4. +explosives101 It was Mongolian Kublai Khan who choose to abandon his Mongolian ways and to proclaim himself emperor of Yuan Dynasty China. Otherwise, why not call China as Mongol Empire, instead of Yuan Dynasty China? And the current Mongolian government are always welcome to try and conquer China like they did in the past. Mongolians don't know nuts about ruling an empire as large as China. -Who grows all the food to feed the empire? Mongolians are nomadic tribesmen, living off the land, so Han Chinese farmers grew the food to feed the empire. -Who plans all the villages, the towns and cities? Mongolians live in temporary huts, called yurts, so Han Chinese builders built the houses, the roads, the infrastructure. -Who runs the daily affairs of the empire? Mongolians know nothing about bureaucracy, so Han Chinese bureaucrats kept the empire running smoothly -Who cultivates the languages, the arts and science? Mongolians? Nope. Han Poets develop calligraphy, Han craftsman made vases made of porcelain (precious china) and silk clothing (Hanfu) and Han astronomers predicted solar eclipses and recorded celestial phenomena like supernovae. The Mongolians only know how to invade other countries, steal other peoples crops and loot, burn villages and towns and destroy priceless works of art, and aren't interested in developing a civilization like Han China is.

  5. Adapting to changing circumstances should be seen as good thing. No alliance is permanent in the global scene and each country chooses alliances that benefits itself best. What would conflict between USA and China achieve in the world? We should instead work together on joint issues (such as N. Korea) to provide a win-win situation that benefits all parties.

  6. +Alpha Omega Tibet was part of China since 800 years ago, when Mongolian Kublai Khan conquered Kingdom of Thibet and Song Dynasty China, and incorporated them into Yuan dynasty China. The Manchu people did the same thing centuries later and made Tibet part of Qing Dynasty China. So isn't Tibet part of China for longer than, say, the entire history of USA (colonization, genocide, industrialization, independence, etc) ?

  7. +Alpha Omega Vietnam also built islands of its own in South China Sea, then why USA ignore them and only pick on China?

  8. +Alpha Omega You missed to context of my post. China and Russia have wars with our immediate neighbors, whereas USA is fighting wars halfway across the globe, in Vietnam, Korean, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc, and US troops are dying on foreign soil, far from home. Why? Is the US mainland in any real danger from across the Pacific Ocean? Are US soldiers dying for their homeland? War is bad, and there are no winners, only losers.

  9. +X x That's the problem with USA, that the corporations control the government. Americans themselves always lament how the US corporations control the US government. Whereas in China, our companies are mostly state-owned so its the other way round, where the government controls the corporations. By doing so, China is able to point our companies in directions to help make China great, whereas in US corporate controlled system, the corporations are all about profit and not truly making America great again.

  10. How does someone even sue an entire country and expect compensation? I wish China could sue the rest of world for using our inventions like paper, compass, gunpowder, crossbows, banknotes, etc. We'll be rich beyond our wildest dreams.

  11. You Americans have multiple parties, and they constantly blame each other for America's woes (rising debt, healthcare, military budget) and after 4-8 years, the US presidents have to step down, so they can't make plans for America spanning more than 10 years. Can't you see that America's problems need at least 10-20 years to address, and no single POTUS is able to solve all of America's woes, given his short presidential term? Whereas in China, the Communist Party of China has put forth many 5-year plans, 10-year plans, 15-year plans, 20-year plans, etc, to map out China's direction and future in 2020, 2030, 2040, 2050, etc, and to set specific goals to achieve by then. By abolishing the Chinese Presidential Term Limit, our leaders can remain in power to see their plans for China bloom and come to fruition. The USA plans short term, whereas China plans long term.

  12. 25,000SubsWithOutAnyVideos Then why didn't Kim Jung Un just visit Washington directly if it was Trump's doing, instead of coming to Beijing? The last time USA and North Korea had disarmament talks was during Six Party Talks, which was held in Beijing. Without China, USA and North Korea have zero chances of entering dialogue, and just interact with each other by missile test and sanctions that's all.

  13. 25,000SubsWithOutAnyVideos President Trump also publicly stated China's cooperation is essential to containing the missile crisis on Korean peninsula. It is through these meetings that Beijing managed to extract word of denuclearization from Pyongyang, so why shouldn't China's efforts be recognised, if Trump wants to claim credit for this?

  15. +X x After WWI (the war to end all wars) there should be no more wars but WWII happened. After Germany and Japan surrender, there should be no more wars, but USA and USSR had the Cold War. After Soviet Union dissolution, there should be no more wars, but USA had the Gulf War, Iraq War, Libyan War, Afghanistan War, etc. When Bush invaded Iraq on suspicion of Iraq harbouring WMDs, the UN Secretary Kofi Ahnan had called the US invasion of Iraq illegal. So why blame UN for US actions?

  16. We should not assume that Kim Jong-Un is like his father, Kim Jong-Il, and maybe the talks will bear fruit this time round.
