  1. China is helping build infrastructure in less developed countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives and also African countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, Djibouti. In just 30 years, China has done much to help develop African infrastructure compared to what Western countries been doing in Africa for centuries.

  2. If President Trump wants to claim credit for China's efforts, then why didn't Kim Jung Un just visit Washington directly, instead of coming to Beijing? Americans need to face the fact that if not for Beijing, Washington would have no chance of talking with Pyongyang, and the only interaction would be name-calling, slapping sanctions and sending aircraft carriers across the Pacific Ocean that's all.

  3. China is currently at peace and not at war with any country, since our last major war in 1979. But USA is involved in Afghan War, Iraq War, Libyan War, even in the 21st century, and is cutting off those country's heads (Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. Now President Trump is targeting Syria and the Assad Regime is next on the list.

  4. Kim Jung Un agreed initially to dismantle North Korea nuclear facilities, but instead of showing good faith, the USA is conducting military exercise with South Korea, so can't you see that USA is the one chasing NK away from negotiations? Now China has to clean up US mess by encouraging NK back to the table.

  5. When USA also invade Iraq because of suspicion of harboring WMDs. But after Iraq war, no WMDs were ever found. Now, USA accuse Syria of using chemical weapons, so can't you see the pattern here? Installing democracy is bad, because USA goes about bombing and invading countries to do so, from the failed Vietnam War and Korean War, to the Middle East. Mao Zedong killed Chinese people, because it was a Chinese Civil War at that time and Chinese were killing Chinese, just like in the American Civil War, Americans killed Americans. But today, China is currently not at war with any country since 1979, and is instead building infrastructure in less developed countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, and also African countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, Djibouti, etc.

  6. Western economists have been predicting China's economic downfall since 1990s. Here is compiled list of what Western journalists have to say about China's economy 1990. The Economist: China's economy has come to a halt. 1996. The Economist: China's economy will face hard landing. 1998. The Economist: China's economy entering a dangerous period of sluggish growth. 1999. Bank of Canada: Likelihood of a hard landing for the Chinese economy. 2000. Chicago Tribune: China currency move nails hard landing risk coffin. 2001. Wilbanks, Smith & Thomas: A hard landing in China. 2002. Westchester University: China Anxiously Seeks A Soft Economic landing. 2003. KWR International: How to find a soft landing if China.. 2004. The Economist: The great fall of China? 2005. Nouriel Roubini: The Risk of a Hard Landing in China. 2006. International Economy: Can China Achieve a Soft Landing? 2007. TIME: Is China's Economy Overheating? Can China avoid a hard landing? 2008. Forbes: Hard Landing in China? 2009. Fortune: China's hard landing. China must find a way to recover. 2010. Nouriel Roubini: Hard landing coming in China. 2011. Business Insider: A Chinese Hard Landing May Be Closer Than You Think. 2012. American Interest: Dismal Economic News from China: A Hard Landing. 2013. Zero Hedge: A Hard Landing in China. 2014. CNBC: A hard landing in China. 2015. Forbes: Congratulations, You got Yourself A Chinese Hard Landing.... 2016. The Economist: Hard Landing looms for China. 2017. National Interest: Is China's Economy Going To Crash? 2018. The Daily Reckoning: China's Coming Financial Meltdown. But its already 2019, and China's economy is still going strong. Why continue to believe Western propaganda about China when Western economists predictions have been consistently proven wrong for almost 30 years?

  7. Sadly, Racial stereotypes are still common in world. Asians usually perceived as easy prey, that don't fight back. Look at how United Airlines personnel pulled Asian man (who is also doctor) off of his seat (according what I know, he paid fairly for the seat as well). Many people surprised that he screamed and put up fight initially, since people usually believe Asians are docile and compliant. But we are human beings too. Imagine if it was Caucasian or African person (maybe even Hispanic) being pulled off instead. The United Airlines personnel would probably think twice before pulling people of such races off. Anyway, this not entirely related to this abduction, but is perception of Asians in general.

  8. Not to be overly boastful but many studies have shown that Asians are among the most intelligent and diligent peoples on Earth, with long history and rich cultures of our own. Why then should we rely on the West to solve our own problems? Long ago, Korea was once unified country, but has been divided into North Korea (by Soviet Union) and South Korea (by United States) so why continue to rely on the West?

  9. Chinese workers worked hard to make products like smartphones, computers, appliances, electronics, toys, clothing, sneakers, etc, cheap so that inflation in America is kept to minimum and the cost of living is lower than it should be. Think of the billions of dollars Americans saved over the years on living expenses, thanks to affordable Chinese goods. Money saved that can be spent elsewhere like on school fees, tuition fees, or cars and luxury items.

  10. Reasonable prices? Are American workers themselves willing to work for the same low pay as Chinese workers? If not, then its going to be tough to maintain your "reasonable" prices.

  11. China is currently not at war with any country, and has been peaceful since our last major war in 1979. How is USA preserving peace, when USA is actively bombing countries in Middle East in the 21st century and cutting off their heads (Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place? Now President Trump is targeting Syria and the Assad Regime is next on the list.

  12.  Johnny Dominguez  To replace our workforce, China is making the switch from menial labor to automation. Already, China is the world's largest market for automation and so many factories in China have become automated. For example, China opened Asia's first fully automated container port in Qingdao, that is more efficient than manual labor, and the machines can even work throughout the night in loading and unloading vessels.
    4
  13.  @GM6.7  I mean, look at India, the world's largest democracy. India has world's 2nd largest population so its workforce is comparable to China's. Many Indians speak English (more favorable to the West) while many Chinese still struggle with English even till today. India has a better location, located in between the East and the West. If you look at Map of India, Southern India has more shoreline (thus, more sites for ports) whereas China's shoreline is concentrated in Eastern China. Yet despite all these advantages India has, the USA still chose to invest in communist China instead of democratic India?

  14.  @dirremoire  If the Chinese dragon can rise, then as Chinese I don't see why we should let the West cage us again like in the past. During the 19th century, the British wanted to continue drinking Chinese tea, but China did not want what the West had to offer, so they waged two bloody wars with China and force us to buy opium from them at gunpoint, which we didn't want because it made us sick and was poisoning our people. Port cities like Shanghai were forced open to act as drug distribution hubs to pump the opium addiction throughout China, and Hong Kong was taken and made into British colony. Even when Britain renounced ownership over its former colonies, Hong Kong was not fully returned to China. Now China is waking up from that period of weakness when we were the sick man of Asia, and there's an opportunity for China to be great again, so we should grasp that chance to rise again.

  16. If it wasn't for Beijing, Washington would have zero chance of talking with Pyongyang. N. Korea initially agree to dismantle its nuclear facilities, but USA and S. Korea conducted military drills and ruined the negotiation. Now China has to clean up after USA's mess.

  17. Are your American workers willing to work for the same low pay as Chinese workers? If not, then prices of Made in America goods are going to be higher than Made in China goods.

  18. North Korea threatens USA bases in South Korea, Okinawa Japan, and Guam. Nothing to do with China here. We can't get rid of US bases in these regions. Why not USA withdraw its forces from these regions first, then sit down to discuss issues with N. Korea? American taxpayer always complain about high US military expenditure, and Trump already wants to reduce military expenditure in NATO, so why do the same thing in East Asia? Sanctions clearly do not seem to work on N. Korea.

  19. Chinese workers make products like smartphones, computers, appliances, sneakers, clothing, etc, at affordable price, so that the cost of living in America is kept low. Think of the millions of dollars Americans saved over the years on living expenses thanks to access to cheaper Chinese goods. A trade war would only negatively impact the economies of both our countries and drive the prices of daily goods up unnecessarily.

  20. Do you have evidence of ongoing organ harvesting in China then? According to the following source, China ended the practice of organ harvesting from executed prisoners and since 2013, China has one of the lowest organ transplant rates in the world.

  21. Tom Harvy If China is aggressive evil government, then why is China currently peaceful and not at war with other countries, since our last major war in 1979, 30 years ago? What about USA getting involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, even in 21st centuries?

  22. Politics should be about doing what's right, not what's popular. Sometimes the popular thing may not be right, and the right thing may not be popular. Democracy is only doing what's popular, not necessarily what's right. For example, President Trump came to power by seducing people's votes and making false promises of making America great again. And the Americans actually bought it, and voted for him, even when he has zero political experience. The thing is that not every US citizen can be trusted to be politically savvy enough to make the right decision regarding the future of their country, and to vote responsibly. Some voters even choose not to vote, or submitted a blank vote, which skew the polls in favor of Trump. In China's case, if Chinese people want change, then they simply join the government and must work their way up by garnering votes from other communist members, who are politically savvy and aware of China's political situation. It is not a perfect system, but in the end, the government can produce leaders like President Xi Jinping, whom have at least 30 year of experience. In my opinion, getting into politics shouldn't be easy. You are charting the course of a country of 1.4 billion (300 million for USA) so your leaders shoudn't be able to just waltz into power (like Trump waltzing into the White House). How can Americans entrust the future of your country to someone without political experience like Trump?

  23. America is not "immune" to fallout from a trade war, and China will retaliate if the United States wants a trade war.

  24. What accomplishment? All President Trump did was name calling and imposing tariffs on Pyongyang, but it was China that managed to wring out a verbal acknowledgement from Kim Jung Un about denuclearization.

  25. The United States is world's most protectionist country, with over 800 of such protectionist measures, compared to China's 200-300 of such measures.

  26.  @thebeststooge  About Chinese "Ghost" cities, every year, China has millions of people migrating from rural countryside to the urban areas to find jobs, and they are slowly filling up those ghost cities. For example, in Dec 2011, London’s Daily Mail reported that the Zhengzhou New Area 郑州市 was China’s largest “Ghost City.” But today, Zhengzhou has a population of 10,120,000 inhabitants, and had a GDP of 1,014 billion(RMB) in 2018. It just means that it takes some time for our cities to fill up that's all.

  27.  @GM6.7  This is part of China's Made in China 2025 initiative, aiming to move away from being the world's "factory" (producing cheap, low quality goods due to lower labour costs) and move to producing higher value products and services. It is in essence a blueprint to upgrade the manufacturing capabilities of Chinese industries and an attempt to move the country's manufacturing up the value chain. and become a major manufacturing power in direct competition with the United States.

  28.  @GM6.7  Back then, British empire was different, they had guns and weren't afraid to use them in negotiations, depriving natives of their lands, occupying the aboriginal territories even till today (such as American and Australia) and importing African slaves to labor for them, That's why the natives did what they did. Modern times are different with China, and China treats the less developed countries as partners, willing to work out deals that benefit both parties in a win-win situation. Nobody is pointing guns and forcing anyone to deal with China. If these less developed countries don't want Chinese business, they are always free to back out and China will simply take our business elsewhere.

  30. April is already last month and now US and S. Korea are conducting military exercise even in May?
    3
  31. +john montoya I mean, if Kim agreed to dismantle his nuclear weapon facilities, then shouldn't USA at least agree not to hold exercises with South Korea, as a simple gesture of good faith? Why continue to provoke N. Korea even before the meeting? Now China has to step in and attempt to get NK back to the negotiation table, after USA chase it away.
    3
  32. +john montoya The actual conflict is between N. Korea, S. Korea and USA, not China. At the most, China can only act as mediator for the countries to settle their conflicts. I mean, its all thanks to Kim visiting Beijing by train, that China was able to grant President Trump a chance to talk with Kim, but now, USA want's to ruin its chances by conducting military exercises? Once in 1 Apr, and now in May as well? Until China has to help persuade Kim back to table again for Americans?

  33. +theylied1776 The government has imposed sanctions on importing North Korean coal. Some other North Korean materials such as iron, gold, titanium and rare earths were banned. Source: independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-announces-sanctions-against-north-korea-a6969256.html Another thing to note is that DPRK is nuclear capable state. You can't just suddenly ban all trade with NK for 6 months just like that. The government is applying sanctions at our own pace and gingerly observing NK's reactions to sanctions for any possible signs of hostility. Are you sure you are political science student?
    2
  34. It is clear that sanctions do not work on North Korea. Why continue to pursue sanctions if it doesn't have any effect? North Korea is targeting US military bases in South Korea and Japan, and Chinese government can't do anything about it. The steps needed to reduce tensions lies in the withdrawal of US forces from the above countries, which means that USA is the answer here. No amount of Chinese sanctions on North Korea is going to have any appreciable effect here.

  35. Gopnik Conscript During Unit 731, Japanese soldiers performed live vivisection on Chinese prisoners without anesthesia, freezing limbs and amputating them, sometimes attaching them to opposite sides of the victims body. Sometimes, organs like the stomach were removed, and the gullet attached directly to the intestines just to see how long humans can survive without the stomach. Sexually Transmitted Diseases were tested, by injecting prisoners and forcing them at gun point to spread the disease to other prisoners, and then vivisected alive to study the effects of STDs. Women were raped and impregnated and were vivisected during various stages of pregnancy to study the effects of STDs on unborn fetuses. Japanese scientists themselves even participated in rape and then conducted experiments on babies they fathered with female prisoners themselves. Imagine if you were a woman captive during this time. Or imagine you are injected with STD and then forced to have sex to spread it to other prisoners. I mean, why not just inject every prisoner with the STD in the first place?

  36. Peter Byrne Your source said "Ethan Gutmann, former Canadian politician David Kilgour and lawyer David Matas claims China is performing 60,000 to 100,000 organ transplants a year." But in 2015, there were 126,670 organs transplanted worldwide. So how could China have made almost as many organ transplants as the rest of the world (USA, UK, France, Germany, India, etc) all put together? Where does China get the necessary number of doctors to perform as many transplants as the rest of the world? Source:126,670 organs transplanted annually (2015) transplant-observatory.org/
    2
  37. Peter Byrne How is it they done extensive research? The number of organ transplants in China is about 10,000. Yet Kilgour, Matas, and others just blatantly exaggerate it to 100,000 transplants, even when the number of organ transplants worldwide in 2015 is around 120,000? Where do they get even such figures in the first place? And you people just believe these figures they produced?
    2
  38. Peter Byrne What extensive research have they done? All they did was exaggerate the figure of 10,000 organ transplants in China to 100,000 transplants, even when the number of transplants in the entire world in 2015 was about 126,000. Where does China get all the doctors necessary to conduct almost as many transplants as the rest of the world put together? And you just believe the figures they published just like that? As for verifying transplants in China, the government already allowed experts from World Health Organisation to verify transplants in China. The international community and the WTO have even applauded China's organ transplantation achievements, but rumours still persist that China continues to harvest organs from prisoners, spread by the Falun Gong people.

  40. +Matt Right The Philippines took the SCS case to the Permanent Court of Arbitration, which is NOT an official UN agency, unlike the International Court of Justice, which is an official UN agency, so why you claim the ruling was made by an UN court?

  41. Where is Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons then? After Iraq war, no trace of WMDs were even found to be in Iraq's possession, so what is the motive for USA invading Iraq then? Now USA is claiming Syria has chemical weapons too? And what makes you think installing democracy isn't bad, when it results in bloodshed and civilian casualties? During Vietnam War, USA use napalm to burn out villages and chemicals like Agent Orange to destroy foliage to expose the Viet Cong, but it result in lingering effects on Vietnamese civilians. And what makes you think USA is responsible for South Korea and China responsible for Vietnam? Every country is responsible for itself. Look at USA invade Iraq and Afghanistan, and are those countries any better than they were before? In Civil War people die, just like in American civil war, so why are you blaming China for civil war? Today, China is not at war with any country, and is peaceful for 30 years since our last war in 1979. And killing people who disobey the government is part of capital punishment isn't it? Even the USA sentence criminals to death for disobeying the government laws so if you claim that this is bad, then why USA have capital punishment too? And you think all religion are good is that it? Why can't Chinese government take measures to curb religions that are disruptive to daily life? If you don't control the religion, then the religion will control your people isn't it? And regarding loans, China runs a business, not a charity. Why is it you think giving charity to people will help them? If you give someone a fish, they live for a day. If you teach him to fish, then they live for way longer. China is building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, powerstations and telecommunication projects, so that African nations can prosper. Isn't that much better than just giving charity?

  42. After watching this, I believe United States secretly being controlled by warmongers who profit from involving USA in wars. 1. They profit from deployment of THAAD in S. Korea, so they encourage more deployment. 2. They profit from Iron Dome deployment in S. Korea, so they encourage more deployment. 3. They profit from sending tactical nuclear weapons to S.Korea, so they encourage it. 4. They profit from aircraft carrier strikegroup deployment in peaceful East Asian waters, so they encourage more deployment. 5. They profit from deploying long range strikecraft to Guam and Okinawa. ... ... All these deployment of military assets only goes into filling the pockets of these warmongers.

  43. Johnny Rodriguez So isn't that the same as saying Americans have zero chance of dialogue with NK, if not for China's efforts at getting NK to come to the table? All of Trump's name calling and sanction slapping did nothing to bring NK to the table at all, only Chinese efforts made Kim visit Beijing. If Trump were really so capable, then why didn't Kim just visit Washington straightaway, rather than come to Beijing? As for China's reduced tariffs, you are reading it wrongly, China reducing tariffs on foreign automobiles means USA will face more competition from other carmakers if they want to enter Chinese automotive industry (which is the world's largest automotive industry). And China reducing automotive tariffs, doesn't mean that our tariffs on US soybeans have been reduced.
    2
  44. Johnny Rodriguez So doesn't that mean USA would not have any talks with NK, if not for China? It all boils down back to my very first point, that American NEEDS China if they ever want proper dialogue with North Korea. History has shown this, even during the Six Party Disarmament Talks.
    2
  45. Johnny Rodriguez Then why does Trump constantly announce during his public speeches that China's cooperation is essential for denuclearization along the Korean peninsula? Isn't it clear that America needs China if it ever wants to talk to NK at all? As for president Xi's tariff reduction, it applies to automotive industry that's all. China's retaliatory tariffs against US soybeans and other products are still in place isn't it?
    2
  46. Why are you accusing me of being Chinese government agent? All I did was ask some questions which you yourself failed to answer, and it only leads back to my initial point that Americans NEED China if they ever want dialogue with North Korea. You can't refute my initial point at all, so you resort to insulting me? If not for Beijing, Washington won't even have a snowball's chance in hell to enter dialogue with Pyongyang. If you think USA doesn't want talks, then why not exercise your military option then? Who's stopping you from exercising your last option?

  47. whk wole China has also helped provide financial support to USA as well. For example, China bought $1.2 trillion dollars ($1,200,000,000,000) worth of US debt to help USA tide over the 2008 financial crisis and to recover from it faster.

  48. If President Trump wants to claim credit for North Korea denuclearization, then why didn't Kim Jung Un just visit Washington directly instead of coming to Beijing?

  49.  @GM6.7  China is investing in less developed countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and also African countries like Nigeria, Angola, Chad, Sudan, etc, building infrastructure like roads, railways, highways, schools, hospitals, shopping centers, ports, dams, airports.
