- Governments around the world are anxious about the free fall in US-China relations. It is why they want to see Beijing and Washington develop a framework of managed strategic competition to reduce the risk of crisis and conflict.

As an Aussie, it’s such a relief to hear mature discussion about the politics of the USA instead of the usual hyper partisan drivel. American politicians and journalists of all sides should be taking notes on how to lift their game in order to take the heat out of the mind numbing, energy draining, trust eroding disaster that has become US politics. The world would be a safer place if they did.
Amen!! 💯
Rudd has no balls to say the truth. that is Taiwan is to China, what Crimea is to Ukraine. if Ukraine is willing to fight Russia to maintain it sovereignty, by want logic should we expect China not to care about their soverighty? China soverighty over Taiwan cannot be challenged. if it become clear to China that NATO seem to undermine Chinese soverighty, than they will have no choice but to assist Russia to keep NATO away from Asia, since it is clear that NATO is no longer neutral to China. it really that simple, if You want China to maintain neutrality on Ukraine, you have to maintain neutral on the Chinese civil war. intervening in the Chinese civil war would force China to see NATO as a threat, this is unnecessarily stupid.
As an American, I whole-heartedly approve your message.
Agreed.
Right back at you...
We just watched the fabulous Mr Paul Keating dismember Australian journalists on the press club 15/03/2023! He’s still got it!
The same Paul Keating who said there's no human rights issues in China as far as he's concerned. That Paul Keating? 😂😂😂
@Abcdefg Every country has its background, needs, culture n unique situation. It's in their government to take their best decisions to solve their own internal affairs for their citizens, lift them out of poverty, and raise the country's services in health, education, employment outlook, infrastructure, leisure, happiness, peace, personal safety etc.
Other countries, having an axe to grind with them out of geopolitical, fears, jealousy etc, will define "human rights" outside of their country's context n in the worst possible light, smearing n disinformation.
I think it's none of outside countries to give harsh criticism when every one countries face a mountain of baggage and issues of their own too. Let's not be filled with hypocrisy. No country is sinless n right.
@@derektay9828 spoken like a true communist. 👏 👏 👏
Australia media is controlled by their US Masters including those presenters too.
As an American, it’s refreshing to hear the view & wisdom of this seasoned Australian diplomat. I wish Washington would forego pride & listen to this man.
Kevin Rudd can't be trusted on China.
Wisdom？ 😂😂😂😂😂
This is serious because of the difference between China and the USA.
The USA already earned the reputation of saying one thing and doing something else.
But China would not say anything if it is unable to do it.
Yes, remember when the President of the US told China it would not "militarize" its artificial islands but did so only weeks later... oh wait, that was China! Well, what about when the US signed the UNCLOS agreement but then reneged on that agreement by taking territory from the Philippines? Oh wait... that was China... never mind.
😂🤣🤡
What planet are you on ? You must be on all those space missions that they can't actually prove they did. You do know the scientists around the world are laughing Thier heads of at China ? You do know that the CCP KILLED 50 MILLION of Chinese in a failed plan to feed them then they denied it and still do . Like Tiananmen square. Covid ? Economics? Um literally everything they ever did without western help failed including the INVASION of Vietnam. The PLA is only good against Tibetan monks honk Kong school children. China is the last thing we want anything to do with. Free the UIGHURS. Drive your tanks into the sea . Let the people have choice .
@@raymondparnell439 you are definitely a severe case of psychosis over China…..no knowledge of what utter nonsense you’re believing. Time you stop watching Fox News,cnn,bbc, sky news, etc. Time you listen to people like Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Professor Richard Wolff, Chris Hedges, Professor Alfred McCoy,Professor John Meirsheimer, Daniel Dumbrill, George Galloway,Vijay Prasad, Cyrus Jansen., John Pilger, Julian Assange ,etc,etc
The USA is the greatest violator of human rights in the world having destroyed the lives of a billion people around the world from Latin America to Africa to Middle East and Asia , bullying with bombs,sanctions ,instigating violence and rebellion,etc.
The USA is a country founded on the genocide of natives , built with sweat and blood of African slaves and exploitation of minorities and looting of weaker nations.
Brah every country says shit they don't do, that's just how it works, China not alone in this.
Taiwan is really just an excuse. Even if China is the biggest democracy today, America would still do everything to suppress China's rise.
Japan was forced to appreciate its yen through the plaza accord so japanese exports would become far more expensive and less competitive. The japanese bubble then went bust and Japan had 3 lost decades.
very valid point
This.
The constant ideological attacks against China is not based on difference in value system but is instead weaponised as a tool to demonise any nation that post a threat to its long held hegemony
Anyway, watch out India…
They did this in Iran. Read Operation Ajax. CIA toppled democratic government of Iran and reestablished puppet Shah. For what? For Anglo-Iranian Oil Corp sake.
It is very obvious Mr Rudd views had turned pro US since he was announced to be the Australian ambassador to US
Australian elites have been always turned to the US. We still have the colony mentality no matter who is the empire. Cheers

Kevin Rudd is a millionaire x times over. His business interests, and that of his wife independently, have given them a financially comfortable life. He doesn’t NEED the job, we are honoured he accepted the position being willing to lend his diplomatic skills to turn down the heat between USA and China relations.

Steady on mate. We had him as Prime Minister. 1 of him is enough for this world. He may be very educated, intelligent and proficient at international affairs to do with China but his EGO is overwhelming. His new job will suit him perfectly 😅
He keep blaming the Chinese, for daring to be strong and powerful for daring to stand up to the US.

Well done Kevin. We all want PEACE. FOR OUR KIDS AND GRANDCHILDREN.
Too bad, it is war you are heading into. That's about it. Have fun. Hee hee hee... ...
Peace and prosperity 🇦🇺 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Just about everything he said was 100% wrong.
The Americans only came out with the claim China is thinking of selling weapons to Russia with any evidence whatsoever as soon as China came out with its 12 point peace plan for the Ukraine War.
This was a concerted effort by the US to thwart the Chinese peace plan because they want this war to continue as long as possible since they think this was will weaken Russia.
The US does not want peace in Ukraine.
That is why they try to demonize China's character and position in this conflict and peace plan.
He also failed to assess that the War is not going badly to Russia as the Western Media is portraying it to go.
The Ukranians have lost well over 200 000 soldiers in comparison to Russia's around 16 000 to 20 000.
The Ukrainians are about to collapse as Bakhmut is about to fall.
And as soon as Bakhmut falls the Russians are going to have an open door from Bakhmut all the way to the Diniper River to possibly set Kiev on Siege and go for Odessa.
If any of the above takes place Ukraine is finished as a state and the West will be in a world of trouble in its plan to defeat Russia.

We need an update on the Murdoch media control of mainstream media in Australia Kevin
Have you been getting the email updates?
Thats now ironically why Kevin is in this position, he is not in the murdochs pocket. Times are changing and so is the mainstream media and propaganda revolving around false media. Hi Fox 🤓
Yes! US has picked up the fight with the dominion case, an endless source of entertainment.
Australia leans toward Conservative America. 💯
If it wasn't for the likes of Fox, the Hunter Biden Laptop story would have been covered. Instead, the lid is being peeled back and Democrats are pooping themselves.

An imperialist by nature
USA didn't put in hardwork to pass the test. Instead of that, hope to pass the test by tripping others
The western politic is totally different from what the world moving at. China is busy gaining respect from countries around the world. The world is tired of listening to the western terms like allies, interests, ect

Give us a break, Rudd just blah blah blah..as always it about him, Kevin is great Kevin this and Kevin that..evens if his 75 percent right, he is a dud..
Two things:
China is fostering multipolarity with its foreign policy grounded in Deng Xiaoping's 5 principles of international relations, which are:
1. Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
2. Mutual non-aggression.
3. Mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs.
4. Equality and mutual benefit. (win-win economic development and trade)
5. Peaceful co-existence.
Contrast this with the U.S. foreign policy of "Full Spectrum Dominance," zero-sum exploitation of countries in the global south by utilizing IMF and World Bank debt traps and imposing the Washington Consensus of privatization of public enterprises and structural adjustment, which prioritizes the demands of foreign creditors above the health, educational, housing, and nutritional needs of populations.
Second, China is pushing back against U.S. military aggression.
The U,S. is building missile bases aimed at China from one end of the First Island Chain to the other; it is sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait, selling arms to Taiwan, sending high level officials to visit Taiwan on a state-to-state basis, and stating publicly that the U.S. will defend Taiwan militarily if attacked by China (China's aim is to reunite with Taiwan peacefully); the U.S. is also encouraging Japan, Australia and South Korea to adopt a hostile, armed posture toward China.
Contrast this with China's 5 principles, which are day-and-night in comparison to the hostile, aggressive, militaristic posture of the U.S. and its vassals toward China.
The US doesn't own and operate institutions like the IMF and World Bank.
_"Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty."_ - Except when it comes to Russia invading Ukraine or China and the South China sea,etc, etc?
What a load of bullshit.
@@covertpuppytwo3857 China doesn't violate those principles. But if you wish China will give up her territorial rights in the South China Sea, you have to be disappointed.
@@yiquny The obvious 9 dash line propagated by China does indeed impose a threat to neighbouring nations?
Great to hear a rational conversation taking place. I've lived in China over four years and find America's constant attacks frustrating. It seems China is in the crosshairs of the US this decade. China is getting fed up with the irrational behavior. Great interview! You got a new subscriber.
China can point it's weapon at the USA... But when the USA pushes back it's wrong.
They released ______ because of it .... Wow serious over reaction .. they will pay big now..
Watch
Well, if you lived in China for over four years, you ought to know the constant media attacks & propaganda against the US, unless you don’t understand the Chinese language. I’m surprised you turned a blind eye to PRC’s aggressions such as dredging and artificial island-building in the Spratlys and militarizing these islands. Such moves have heightened fears and tensions with countries like Vietnam and the Philippines. China is using military and economic coercion to bully its neighbors & threaten maritime shipping lane. This predatory conduct increases the risk of miscalculation & thus warrant US’ intervention.
complete and utter horseshit. Chinese businesses came over here and we’re welcomed and they just decided they were going to do whatever the fuck they wanted regardless of our laws.
So China's accusation that COVID came from Ft. Detrick was an example of rational behavior? 😂

Why cant US and its cronies minds their own internal issues and leave the rest of the world to manage on their own? The world will be safer place.
The US imperialist cannot do that they need to conquer the whole world
What BS, we haven't been clearly calling out the containment and conflict?! So when they say the obvious, it's speaking under pressure? The master is suprised the adopted kid has come of age and challenging the old order. So instead of competing purely on skills and hard work, the hegemony wants to apply it's rule based world, rules written by itself?! Have a soul, it's God's earth.
You are spot on!
American has left nothing except Wall street and military might. Recent reports from the military stated that 70% of their youth are not qualitfied for military due to overweight, addiction of some kind, sickness and other problems. American has a national debt of 32 trillion. Now they're coercing his allies from Germany, Japan to Austrilia to go against China. Each with China as their biggest trading partner.
Kevin, Kevin! One gem from me for you! Have you heard of the phrase - "Enough is enough!"? That's what China was telling the US.
Chinas just using the US to divert attention away from there own economic issues. Does not make what they said untrue though, US is a horrible country.

Kevin Rudd, with his expertise could have gone the route as Kishore Mahbubani and used his knowledge to educate the West on Taiwan and China. Instead, he spend all this time playing the devil's advocate which did nothing to ease any tension in the Sino-US relationship. Sigurista.

A man of great compassion, wisdom, and foresight, not to mention his skill with the Mandarin language. A great asset to us in Australia, and indeed now the world.

Australia in a key alliance between the UK and US ... and has been since WWI ... and will be for the foreseen future ... 🫡
Kevin Rudd is one of our more intelligent and thoughtful statesmen. Like all people attracted to power he's got some shortcomings, but he's mellowed in his old age and his heart is in the right place.
If China wants to continue with its economic development, it could not and should not create confrontation with any country. It is more obvious with Russia than with any other countries because of its border with Russia. All countries inclding Rudd understand that very clearly. Therefore should any countries attempting to create conflicts between China and Russia are doing that with a highly quesionable motive.
I have always followed Kevin's analysis. I was suprised and indeed diasppointed that he did not mention this critical concept in this interview.
confrontation? has china fired the first shot yet?? last i know balloons were shot down by americans
it not about what China want to do, if a foreign power is clearly trying to take your territory away, you have no choice but to defend yourself. what US need be clear about now is that it will not challenge Chinese sovereignty. China doesn't support Russia and continue to recognize Ukraine sovereignty over Crimea is because China expect the West to continue to recognize China sovereignty over Taiwan. if NATO demonstrate it is selective in honoring sovereignty, China will return the favor in kind. it is really about mutual respect, you want China out of Ukraine, than stay out of China.
US Way of War Propaganda and Starting a War
Step 1: extremely aggressive toward XYZ country, demonise its people , its products and its leadership.
Step 2: XYZ country is upset and response to it.
Step 3: frame XYZ country as " aggressive, a big threat", etc.
Step 4: run through steps 1 - 3 again and again each time raising the stakes and ratcheting up tensions. Also start making plans for a “color revolution”

Kevin was a good friend of China at one point, hope he still is. that gives him an advantage of being a diplomat .
I sense Kevin had changed his tone on China since he was appointed as an ambassador or whatever position he is employed on the US side. Don't blame him ! Fair is fair. China is being pushed (by US) to a position that could cause both side into confrontation. In respond to the US war of words, China still managed to respond in dialogue that the US might understand. But the US should refrain from instigate the situation a step further. China sure has the capacity not to play the game and could face the US in 'combat' economically and militarily . That will damage their relationship further that might take greater effort and years to repair down the road.
Lol. Ridiculous.

Kevin Rudd is someone who understands China better than most of the politicians around the world. He speaks fluent Chinese and has actual experience while he was living in China.
You forgot to mention he was the worst prime minister in Australian history 😂
In the interests of balance, you might point out that Rudd was dumped as leader by his own party, with any number of colleagues and former staff testifying to his aggressive bullying away from the cameras, and his violent foul-mouthed temper when anyone dared stand up to him. And you might also mention in the interests of balance that as a left-wing Prime Minister he lectured the world on climate change and rising sea levels, only to recently buy a $17m absolute beachfront property in tropical northern Australia. He obviously doesn't take his own alarmist climate rhetoric seriously, but apparently we are supposed to. Overall he's left wing and he speaks Chinese, so let's just ignore his bullying and his hypocrisy and agree that he's perfect for the CNN audience.

@@alexv1190 in your dream, do you the US would not take action if it sees benefit from starting war with China outweigh the potential cost? the US is a wuss only dare to bully the small countries.
Kevin has a talent for eloquent jibberish. He proposes 'mechanisms' and his latest favourite word 'guard rails' to be apply internationally yet couldn't implement simpler versions of the same in his own government; which was a sh#tshow from the get go.
Bang on! He was a incompetent leader and his party was a complete failure.
The Rudd government may have been a bit of a dogs breakfast but it was exponentially better than the series of LNP grifters since. Plus the Rudd government navigated the GFC better than any other country. Compared with Scomo and Pals who "lost" $45 billion in corporate covid payments, plus another $2 billion payout for the robodebt fiasco. Rudd isn't perfect by a country mile, but he's certainly better than your comment makes out.
@@davespanksalot8413 anyone that supports or defends his actions is either of two things
1. An idiot
2. A CCP shill
@@michaelcaptain_williams79w68 You know a GPMHCP can knock $160 off your appointments? For 10 appointments per year!
We have been in all America’s wars, even the crazy ones… doesn’t it say it all!
The two faced Kevin is trying to twist
KRud is 100% on.
Let’s hope he can guide the US away from their aggressive approach to everything foreign policy.. but if not, at least help the Australians not follow the US down the drain.
Well said !
K Rudd is not spot on . . He is representing his own interests. If we move close to China that puts him in a good position as the one who made AUSTRALIA betray our allies. That's never going to happen. CCP are not our friends, when the CCp leaves then we will think about even going back to business as usual. Insulting to assume we would even consider such nonsense 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@@raymondparnell439 by we assume you mean Australia.
And by your comment I gather you understand nothing about Australian economics, foreign trade, etc.
You think the US would have our back?
Ask the wheat and barely exporters who were replaced when Saddam was toppled only for Iraq to only import from US at a higher price. Australia’s number one importer was Iraq.
The US, Republicans largely, fuked their own international standing over the last 10+ years, firstly economically by forcing a government shut down with Obama (and it’s about to happen again soon), and then destroying their global hegemony by electing an isolationist in Trump. Biden has also been sleeping. He dropped the ball both with Saudi and Iran, focusing on their little proxy war with Ukraine, creating instability.
In parallel China has grown and is now well and truly on par with the US. Projected to have a bigger economy in a year or two, and slowly taking a greater lead role in international diplomacy, eg. Ukraine and Iran-Saudi.
Unfortunately Australia is destined to go down the drain with the US, but as the global powers shift I hope KRud can guide the Australian Government to take a more neutral stance instead of blindly joining the US down whatever aggression they think will help them beat China down again.
@@raymondparnell439 Please don't be so jealous of Mr. Kevin Rudd. He will save this world from WW3.
What do you expect China to do? Continue to take the beatings and do nothing?
$6000 question? It used to be so much more.
Kevin Rudd is forgetting the domestic US politics of blaming China for everything including domestic issues. But i don't expect anything less. He's an incoming ambassador to the US. He wouldn't want to start on a bad note
Not just being the next ambassador, he heads the Asian Society and you know who finance it.
@@stevencher9968 well said!
@@stevencher9968 I guess a bunch of pro Democrats people are funding him.
Hahahahahahaha..... go live in China, all you'll see is 24/7 Chinese propaganda blaming the USA and the free democratic countries for all China's problems and Everything!!!!
Some people have been saying for ages. Kevin is a US warhawk in sheeps clothing. i didn't believe it before but in the past few years I 100% agree with them.
With regard to the last statement on wars and partnerships even into the 21st century, I don’t see Australia helping the U.S defend Taiwan, it’s not in their economic and geopolitical interest that’s why their sending him there to discuss and promote containment and not war. China’s military is too big and deadly for even any country in Asia to attack, I also think they (China) will adopt Sun tzu’s approach, quick and decisive war
@odera- despite US's provocation, China still envision a peaceful reunification-ya!
A balanced discussion is always better
Australia has followed the US into every war but a war with China will be different because China has nukes
Britain killed 4 million Indians in Bengal in 1943 by imposing a famine
Putting all the responsibility on China, and failing to see America's response to its own decline, is a very American perspective.
True.
Both need to take a chill pill.
@@YeetThyBaby I think China has chilled long enough. At some point they would have to react to the crap that is spewed from the US government and media co
Exactly. Their politicians will do anything to further their own interest. China is a useful excuse
The Americans politicians obviously are competent in balming other countries for its own problems.
It's obvious where Rudd's bread is buttered now to use Rudd's own terminology when describing Chinese officials. Now he's working for aus gov under albo and Wong, who basically have the exact same pro USA policy as Morrison, Murdoch and co.
Ever since he went to work for US based/funded think tank based in NYC, Asia society, rudd has clearly been developing us contacts and networks in state department and diplomatic channels, helping him get the job of Australia's ambassador to the US.
Now he has to get in line and just repeat albo govs talking points, which is also in line with us govs talking points. Ie "rules based order" but he will never mention or criticize USA for not even ratifying UNCLOS, or USA threatening icc investigators while supporting war crime charges against Putin. That shows a clear bias. He cannot criticize usa in the same objective and unbiased manner that he criticizes china for(or least he tries to be objective).
Kevin definitely knows which side his bread is buttered on....a great fence sitter as always.
Is that not the process of diplomacy instead of the "them against us" approach which is leading to worsening relations?
@@alanclw6024 Solutions and finding peace does not happen by sitting on the fence, it's not about them or us....China has just brokered a major PEACE deal in the middle east btw the Saudis and Iran, maybe finally peace in Yemen as well.
@Tony Watt True.
But you have seen the state of Australian politics.
Mr. Rudd is only on the fence, and he is already being accused of being on th CPC payroll by the US vassals hiding in our government.
Don't you think that being on the fence atm is the best way to be heard amonst all these fear mongering propaganda by our media?
@@alanclw6024 A good and strong leader leads.
@Tony Watt You are not addressing the current issue.
There is absolutely no way a candidate who is supportive of China will be promoted to a position of authority with the current Australian politics.
It is career suicide to even put China in a good light at the moment.
Therefore, IMO a leader who is not able to navigate the political landscape will not get elected ergo... unable to make any changes.
Why nobody says nato is xpanding n encircling russia n russia has been very patient n reasonable until ukrain was hijacked by Victoria nulan in 2014
NATO has never forced itself into people that's the difference.
@@raymondparnell439 Well as European your opinion is not surprising.
Also noted Fareed has become more balanced in his news agle than before during hus past more partisan role and news channel. Great to hear voices of wisdom and not hype
Hu
Good analysis
Thanks
I hope there is some real substance hidden under that sickening supplication to the US hegemon. Of course it is a style adopted to stay in the rulers club and out of sight from Australian rabid pro war media, but, play the role too deep and you lose yourself.
Kevin is my go to for China info
Not as good as what you think
You should check up South China Morning Post, a news outlet in Hong Kong owned by Jack Ma. Nikkei Asia also present a relative neutral and rational perspective.
It wasn't a conversation Brand had on Bill Maher show, it was a diatribe. I'm always wary of super rich folks who go on about wonderful ideals rather than speak to practical steps that will change the lives of real people now. It's arrogant and disingenuous.
Rather than espousing lofty ideals perhaps Russell Brand should focus more on discussing what can be done now to change the lives of the people he professes to care about.
Taiwan has 5 iconic features. Convenience stores, night markets, sheet metal houses, scooters and temples🥰👍. Although it's way far from comparing with the lifestyles of beauty and graceful architectures, designings of Europe, prosperity with great combination of the old and new cultures and infrastructures and magnificent art works of China, Japan and Thailand, entertainment, fashion and prosperity of the U.S., Korea and H.K., or healthy, simple and harmonic environment of Singapore, Canada and Australia. Yet in terms of food and convenience it's performing over the average.
With this World first or second amenities of life and convenience store we need to thank to a lot of talent, friendly and deligent staffs working in the industry.
Taichung, Taidong and bush walking of Northern coast are some of those tourists are not that familiar but also worthwhile to visit.
There's a lot of cousines with chicken, Beef, pork, tepanyakis, noodles, hot pots, soups, dumplings, bread and pastries, snacks, fried stuffs, breakfast, coffee shops, fruits and beverages.
In terms of hygiene, platings and decorations, environment and atmospheres, accommodation and friendly communication are probably can be much improved. But amounts and prices which is cost performance ratio is above the World average. In Taiwan people like salty sweet, bittery sweet or hot sweet taste so food tended to be a little bit smooth sweet than the other places. Some of those good food come from the famous shops and some from small shops or shops in traditional markets are even better. There's still ones not that good but the propotion are relatively less. So will be some suprises to explore.
Great filming and editing and welcome to Taiwan. All the best🥰👍。
And closet japanese politicians running Taiwan
The United States is the wealthiest country in the world and have the most powerful military for the last seventy-eight years. This led some Americans to believe that they are exceptional and that there are natural laws that ensure their position as the number one nation on earth forever. As such, the US feels justified to use all necessary means to maintain its dominance and will take any steps necessary to prevent any potential rivals from growing too strong. CIA was involved in covert operations that resulted in mass killings of communists in over 22 countries. More than 500,000 innocent Indonesian civilians disappeared in 1965-1966. To make the world safe for democracy, the US has caused the deaths of over 12 million people in its conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
China believes that a multipolar world is essential for global development, where every country has the opportunity to realize its full economic potential. This approach emphasizes cooperation between nations rather than competition, to achieve a shared vision of prosperity for all. While the US prioritizes its position as the sole superpower, China advocates for a more inclusive and cooperative approach that allows for the development of all nations. In the last forty-four years, the Chinese military has not used its weapons to kill a single person outside its territory. China will not be lured into war.
The US has chronic domestic problems, including a national debt of over $31 trillion, economic inequality, inflation, healthcare, education, racial inequality, mass incarceration, infrastructure, housing affordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence. The country's political leaders are deeply divided and hostile to each other.
Both parties have identified China as their "most consequential threat" and the source of their problems. Many believe that China must be weakened before it becomes any stronger. The US is using Taiwan to provoke China into a war and preparing to fight in that manner.
The US population is whipped up to see Chinese threats everywhere. A weather balloon is seen as a threat, as is a port crane and even TikTok. Sanction chopsticks, noodles, and sewing machines, they have dual uses. Chopsticks could poke someone's eyes and blind them, noodles could be fed to PLA soldiers, and sewing machines could be used to make military-grade uniforms.
China is Australia's largest trading partner, outpacing the combined purchases of the next three. Our export to China stands at 10.4% of our GDP. Our military budget is less than 2% of our GDP. AUKUS is a tactical masterstroke, leveraging our robust trade surplus with China and spending $368 billion to acquire Virginia-class nuclear-powered hunter-killer fast-attack submarines to attack our biggest trading partner. With the deployment of these submarines, we have the power to bring their entire global sea-borne trade to a standstill, at any moment of our choosing.
If another country stations its military on your territory and you have no control over that military, then you become a client state of that country. This means that they do not trust you to remain loyal and that you have surrendered your sovereignty to that country, especially if you do not station your military in that country.
The US stations its military in all of its allies, and as a result, these client states do as they are told by their patron. Gough tried to have an independent foreign policy, and John Pilger has a lot to say about how he was dismissed.
To maintain its position as number one forever, the US must weaken all potential rivals, even if they are allies. All of its European allies are now significantly weakened by the US, and not one of them dares to complain. The US bombed NordStream 1 and 2, and Germany remained silent.
Therefore, the US has no allies, only client states.
The US needs allies for political cover to legitimize its wars.
The US creates enemies for its allies so that it can protect them from those enemies, and in return, the allies buy weapons from the US. Most US allies contribute financially to the upkeep of US military forces on their territories.
Thank you Phillip. Great comment.
Exactly Philip, there the World leaders Gold star ⭐for Propaganda they have 60% of the Globe deceived.
So so true Philip. Rudd us just another little poodle.
Conflict normally ensues when diplomacy fails.
i like the style of speech and manners of kevin .r
