Winning the Cold Peace: A New Path for U.S.-China Relations with Fareed Zakaria

This clown's opinions aren't worth the trash in that room. He doesn't have a GD clue about America or what we should or shouldn't do.

Today, the wealthiest newborn in the world is a Chinese curtsy. China's one-child policy has resulted in the newborn inheriting the wealth of 14 Ancestors tax-free. In another generation, we would have over 1.4 billion Chinese, with a per capita higher than Americans.
Today, China is producing 3 X more STEM graduates than America does. As far as their quality is concerned, you have to visit any top American university to find that the Chinese are beating their classmates hands down. In the last 5 years, China has registered more international patents than America and Europe combined.

Today, in PPP terms, the Chinese economy is 1.25 times larger than that of America. China was the largest economy in the world until 1820. America is the Joney come lately.
A recent PEW (American) survey showed that 88 % of Chinese are happy with their political system and see a better future for their children, whereas only 28 % of Americans felt the same way. Today, the Chinese are enjoying the best period in their 4000-year history.

The speaker knows so little about china. He should have talked about India, which he may know better.

The US can always do whatever it wants and make others suffer the consequences. This is the beauty of being the unipolar hegemony.

China is acting like Japan when it industrialized. Upstart resentment fires up its ambition.

Club of Tyrants: Xi Jinping, Putin, and the clown from North Korea. What to make of this alliance?

Zaharia is well known in the US and knows nothing about China. This is so typical of the US.

In 2019 alone, America dropped 26,000 bombs on 6 sovereign countries without UN sanctions, killing thousands and making millions of refugees. Was this done to further human rights? Or was it the Liberal world order? Maybe it was to promote Democracy.

It is the US that initiated the trade war against China.
It is the US that embargoed technologies exporting to China for decades by The Wassenaar Arrangement
It is the US that openly talked about containing the development of China in the first place.
And now you discribe China as a warmonger and a major threat to the international order.

It’s a fact that the U.S. started the war against China by imposing tariffs on imports from China, by imposing restrictions on the sale, even by its allies, of advanced chips and chip making machines to China, by creating a chokehold with military alliances facing China’s coastal areas. It’s obvious that the U.S. wants to destroy China’s economy. By doing this, the U.S. will be causing a global depression, because the world is so intertwined in so many aspects that if one pillar falls, the others will also fall. The U.S. is really the only actor destabilizing the global order. I think Dr. Zakaria has pointed out this danger in a clear and urgent warning. Do not do it! Look at those in the EU, they are already suffering from the fall-outs as the collateral damage: Germany is in trouble, France is twittering, The Netherlands is grumbling because of they can’t sell chips to their biggest customer in China, South Korea and Japan are also distressed because they are loosing market shares in China. America is making everybody pay for its own folly.

I don’t think Zakaria has the up to date information on China! He is off the mark on some of his comments! I wonder whether he has visited China recently?

So much power, but can’t beat Russia! I wonder why?

to understand any country is to have some appreciation of it's recent history and china is no exception. the speaker in this video gives zero context in which china had to deal with western imperialism over the last 200 years or it's role in global trade of the last 2500 years. this speaker mentions jeffrey sachs. if you want a broad and more contextualize understanding of today's china, sachs, will give you that

Zakaria is just as much a US supremacist and anti-China zealot as Peter Zeihan, he just hides it better.

BS

Awesone to hear Fareed as always, one of my favourite analysts.

The invisible hands controlling the US politics and policies don't want peace!

Responsible state holder? You need a mirror to start with, who dropped the Atomic Bomb in Japan? Who went to war in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Ukraine got American blood and fingerprint all over.

Disagree your main thesis, you win peace, one makes peace, not winning, your mentality is that you can not afford to lose

It was the US that decided to "pivot to asia" ultimate stupidity. It was US that began to demonize China and launch a trade war. US CIA/NED/USAID has been actively defaming China and coming up with lies and propaganda such as the non existent Uighur "genocide" to instill hate in Americans. Dude stop lying, I lived through this, I remember the TRUTH.

US spending now 1.6B per year to defame and slander China. It is all US unilateral action. This is not China's doing.

US neo-cons already had its sights on China as early as 2000. Remember the incident with the US Spy Plane over Hainan? US under Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld were pushing hard even then for a confrontation against China...until 9/11 happened and US went to destroy the MidEast for 20 years.

The Chinese has long learned from its history and one single so called “coherent” ideology is a poison rather than a panacea. A society needs to accommodate different ideologies and so do the ideologies to each other. Therefore, there has never been a been a religion in its canonical form, it’s always an attitude towards life. An aspiring young usually adopt a Confuscious attitude which values ambition pursuit and a sense of responsibility for the well-being of family, state, then the whole world. A middle aged man may adopt a Taoism attitude which values keep one’s own spirit pure in a corrupted world. For less educated population, Buddhism gives them comfort. These ideologies are a la carte for one to pick throughout life, whatever makes sense. What’s why Chinese seldom go to see a psychiatrist, they go to one of the ideological shrines (some very shabby and primitive), donate a little bit, draw a fortune-reading stick, then came out happier. Chinese don’t really care if there is one true God, or any other Gods are evil they are not your Gods. Chinese never see things as simple binary right or wrong, true or false. Chinese despise such simplicity, which arguably was the reason Chinese did not invent modern science, because science is all about clear-cut logic, you are either right or wrong. Chinese deeply care more about humanity, living in harmony between nature & human, than pursuing the ultimate truth. We never believed in ultimate truth in a ever changing world.

Tramp startes the trade war, obama started the pivot to Asia. Yet you blame china.Zareed you need a mindset change.n

Xi wants war. Let that thought sink in. He’s driving that train, we can only derail his plan by facing the threat and facts. The more talk, the worse it becomes. Most intellectuals aren’t wired to recognize the evil that is building.

Inside of this speech, there is no right or wrong, no justice or injustice. It is shame to have such educational event to college students. We need to spread more about humanity, peace, love, prosperous for all in the world.

China traditional confusion contains some social justice elements that resemble Maxi communism theory.

This entire speech frames China as a challenge. Perhaps they should see beyond their hubris and ideology (or discrimination) and see China as an opportunity. Why seek a fight simply because you “may” lose your top dog status?

It is not that other middle power countries are getting stronger, it is the US getting weaker! Wars, debt, poverty, drug addicts, homelessness., crimes, crumbling infrastructures, substandard public education, and totally incompetent politicians! Of course, China's peaceful rise!

Do not forget the fact that China is the only super power rise peacefully! China has not fired a single bullet outside its border in over fifty years!!!

This speech is very stereotype western, very biased and naive. Speaker Fareed should visit China more and learn more basic Chinese philosophy. Over 80% of world nations have now awaken up and won't be fooled by the west (US & EU) again. That is why there is the BRICS countries now, rising up to fight against the west dominance, exploitation, lootings and hegemony. US & EU will for sure decline quickly in coming years soon. Praise for the coming of multipolar world and the rapid decline of US, the cursed war monger.

I don't see this guy criticize India's made in India 2025! President Xi cracked down on corruption and promote common prosperity for all Chinese!

All because the US is so scare to be replaces by China in the world stage!

US real wages is highly inflated since US dollar had lost over 90% of its purchasing power! US is not more powerful now because of its allies, US has no manufacturing to speak of, no heavy industries, over half of adults can only read and write at or below 6 grade level! In addition, US is the world largest debtor! As soon as US can't print any more money, it's economy will collapse! In terms of military, Ukraine war will be the perfect example of how weak the US and NATO are! Russia is winning even with all those sanctions!

Fareeed knows little about China. In 1990 the USA still remained theg sole superpower. As "good Americans"? What "good Americans" are you talking about? Fareee can only see the world through an American lens. We all know the history. Why has China presented you with a problem. China is not a problem. If America thinks the very growth of China is a problem then it is America's self created problem. Everyone talks about Communism as if they know what communism is to begin with. It is a term bandied about by everyone like Fareed without a clue what us "commuism". Xi is the greatest leader of the 21st century. No one wants an American hegemon.

What happen in the Japanese auto makers became no 1 in the world, Reagan put a import quota on Japanese car! US just can't stand to be no 2 , that's the only reason why US will do anything to contain China! Everything is about national security threat! It's the biggest lie in the century!

The US is the biggest control freak and dictator of the world. While China is connecting the world with trade and cooperation, the US is doing everything to maintain its superiority and world domination at the expenses, misery, and suffering of other countries including China. Rise of China has benefited not only China but the world, especially to the developing nations that used to rely on the US but without much success. In fact, many of those developing nations went backward instead of moving forward. China gives them hope and confidence they have never had before. The US and its allies are too jealous to see China rise so the US government has allocated the largest budget for conducting anti-China campaign to train journalists on how to come up with anti-China news articles and narratives to stir up anti-China sentiments around the world. China is not the problem but the US is.

One has to realize that China has invest heavily in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Asia, and don't forget about Eurasia! There's over 151 countries are members of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative! Chinese government has the vision and long term goal knowing someday US will becoming an insignificant country in terms of trade since US really does not make anything! Chinese investment in developing countries will raise those countries' standard of living and thus will trade more with China! China graduates ten times more engineers than the US, nine out of ten PhD in the US university are foreigner students!

China has stated numerous times that it does not want alliances and it does not interfere other country's internal affair! US does not has ally, it has lapdogs that was forced to be American ally!

Once upon a time there was a power name USA

The current developments in the US-Canada-India triad relationship regarding the Khalistani issue can potentially blow up and throw a spanner in bringing India into the west plus camp. The Canadians have directly blamed the Indian home minister as directly involved in the killing/attempted killing. No wonder that the Indians and Chinese have recently started a tentative detente on the border fracas since 2020.

The US has no one to blame but itself. The Iraq war, balkan war, Afghan war, the bombing of the Chinese embassy, the encroachment of NATO on Russia, and the support of Israel's genocide on GAZA.

us pivot to asia came before xi, and arguably even before it became an official public policy. I never expected anyone associated with cnn to get facts straight or be unbiased in any case 😆

Mr Zakaria can always find lots of talking points to support US government regardless what US does.

China Beats America in STEM Education. Why?

Completely ignorant about China, merely repeating the same old arrogant condescending narrative that the West is right and the Rest is wrong; he clearly doesn't realize that much of the Global South resents the West's arrogance and double standards 👎👎👎

😂😂😂 Basically u are saying US n the West are suppressing the rest of the world to get their way. 😂😂😂

Frankly he should go back to Pakistan to help Pakistan to patch up with India instead of running to US.😂

😂😂😂 China basically defending it's interest n why should China follow Western dominance n make China vassal. U hope so 😂😂😂😂
