The World According to China with Elizabeth Economy | Uncommon Knowledge

She claimed Google would not hand over to the American government information the company has about its users. She should give Snowden a call.

China China China. Why can't US focus on enpower itself.

One of the two or three best shows that appears on youtube. Absolutely first class, and should have millions of views.

As much as I hate what Academia has become, Hoover Institution does a fantastic job at allowing open and honest conversation to persist. For that, I have much respect and appreciation.

what a last name

There's a difference between the USA seeing China as a threat, and Chine threatening the USA. If you own a business, and someone comes along to compete with you, and it turns out they are better at business than you, they are, perforce, a threat. That doesn't mean they are threatening you, it just means they are carrying on their business, and doing it better that you. That is the situation of China and the USA. China has taken over a large part of the world's manufacturing simply because they do it better and cheaper than others, especially the USA. The USA's answer to China's "threat" hasn't been to try lift their economy, it has been to sanction China, threaten other countries that trade with China, restrict trading with China, attempt to restrict other countries trade with China, and continue to use military threats to keep their empire in line. That strategy is bound to fail. When the USA talks about the "world order", what they mean is the USA's pre-eminnet position in a world order they control. That too is bound to fail.

Significant overstatement to call Soviet invasion of Afghanistan an embarrassment for the United States.

Another great conversation. Hat off to Elizabeth Economy for dodging some uncomfortable questions and refocusing her responses accordingly. Thank you

The US should abandon its mentality of exceptinesm and live with China with mutual repect and co-existence just as China did in its past glorious era over many centuries before the westerm powers dominated the world for about 200 years. The humanity needs more cooperation instead of confrontation or conflict since there is only one earth to live on and it is big enough for all poeple to live in peace.

Great interview. The polarization, so-called, is the locus of great cultural and political energy, and will be our greatest asset if only we can get the different sides of the argument to deeply engage each other. This will happen bottom-up: we can each do this in our own lives. The ideological rival is a resource like no other, relentlessly pointing out the flaws in arguments, the overlooked, the bad assumptions; who wishes to can learn much this way. To renew our liberal democracy, we must practice liberalism and democracy in our own lives: if our culture is imbued with it, our government will be, too. Talk with, befriend, if possible live amongst, those you disagree with. Love them more than you may despise their views. Be humble. You can learn from anyone.

Interesting, this is perhaps one of the very few times I've seen a guest on the show with whom I mostly disagree. Her assertion that came across as describing the Chinese as "not really being communist" is, in part, the thinking that got us into the situation we're in today. Her description of what the Biden administration is doing that is helping us tackle these problems and the storm, in my opinion, is hurting us more than helping. I could point out more, but I will refrain from writing an essay in the comments section.

Love this show!

All Empires decline- the US is no different.

It is your interpretation not what xi jinping says

Historically, China has been a major power in Asia for a few millennia. Despite intermittent setbacks, it has consistently rebounded. The present era is no different. Irrespective of whether it's under the leadership of Xi Jinping, the Communist Party, or another entity, China's drive to regain its prominence is inevitable. It’s short sighted to blame China refusal to submission on a person or its system. For the U.S., it would be more strategic to anticipate peaceful coexistence with China than to opt for confrontation. Engaging in costly wars with China, even with a U.S. victory, could paradoxically wounded its global standing. Believing that China has no aspirations akin to the Monroe Doctrine, or presuming that it could be deterred from such ambitions as its Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) outpaces the U.S., is a misjudgment. The emergence of a multipolar world is a foreseeable reality. Yet, in the current political milieu, such forward or divergent thinking often faces unwarranted brushed aside rejections. You may wonder if there are adults in the Hoover Institution.

So at 5.30 ,interwier says China watches all internet searches but in USA he has not that problem ... 😅

Thank you! ❤

Neither your guest nor "the Goodfellows" quotes were worth my time.

But Communism and Marxism is always totalitarian, the idea of Amish style communism does not exist outside small communities.

We WILL decline if we rely on the advice of people like her.
