@@Shenzhou. What a joke. Chicoms are liars that don't deliver but cheat the third world.
The problem is that the US claims to be 'fighting for democracy' but acting like a global dictator in practice..
I think more like a gangland Godfather.
100%
Democracy is not good or bad by itself. It's merely a means to an end. All people want to eat better, live better, be better. If Democracy achieves that end, it's good, if not, it's bad. A case may be made for the ends to justify the means, but means can never justify the ends. Before Libya's color revolution, they had universal healthcare, universal free college education, and free housing upon marriage. After Libya had democracy, their people's social welfare is gone, their living standard dropped, their life expectancy dropped. In this case, Democracy is, in fact, evil, because it achieved an evil end. If you think of Democracy as good, even in cases where it decrease people's life expectancy, it's a sign that you've been brainwashed, and need to make a conscious effort to undo your indoctrination. Gaddhafi's dictatorship that brought universal healthcare, free college, free housing, higher life expectancy to Libya, an African nation, is, objectively speaking, better than the democracy that replaced it. This is an objective truth that debunks the subjective bias we've been brainwashed with since childhood.
Why is the US pushing around Democratic system is to be applied?
Isn’t every country FREE to opt their preferences?
Why meddle & make trouble to others?
That’s insane …
spot on
As a Brazilian, I have only one thing to say,
the USA sees us as a colony, China sees us as a future ally.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
China was blaming people of African origin for the pandemic and denying blacks access to their subway and service to their restaurants in 2020. Look it up.
China sees other countries as Vassals, not allies.
So, it’s either a US colony or Chinese vassal. And, the sad part is that the Choice is not yours.
@@davidjacobs8558But their small minds do not accept that China wants to control them.
Not future. We are already an ally's. Greetings from Russia BRICS brother!)
As a European I DESPISE American foreign policy. They are so self-righteous it's just grotesque.
It’s for the best buddy. Most countries can’t even take care of themselves
@@jrsthesedays925 For the benefit of who? My country never forguet what USA did to us.

@@GuilhermeOliveira-mi4xw no I'm 2/3native American
Famous American brands are disappearing from Brazil: Ford left the country after a century of production. Apple registers first loss in sales in Brazil in 2023. And even the traditional North American allies: Toyota (Japan), Volkswagen (Germany), Hyundai (South Korea) are paralyzing production. The consumer electronics market is dominated by China.
That a US senator says, about China, "they are eating our lunch" shows the immense scorn of this guy for Latin American countries. If I were american I would be ashamed and if latino-american I would feel insulted. This alone could explain the failure of US policy.
True words indeed. To talk about the entire southern continent as their "lunch" is degrading and disrespectful.
How perfectly American.
Amen
Spoken like a pig over a trough...
I remember speaking with Africans and Sri Lankans telling me how much they prefer dealing with China. They aren't saying that anymore. The one good thing about COVID was it really opened Africa's eyes about China.
@Vito Corleone in what ways did it opened ? Just asking to know.
As a Latin American, I can say that most of us would choose China over the US out of spite, the US refers to us in a dehumanizing way, for example calling us their backyard, also the US has a bad record with us, many coups, rigged elections and interference.
Still better than China, they are literally doing a genocide against a ethnic group in their countrys ans the fact that their own youth is fighting againts the goverment, i prefer USA i choose to not be a slave
As a Brazillian, USA is gay.
As a European I agree with you. The US likes to destablise the world rather than really work with anyone properly.
As a fellow American I understand why you think that way. You're right. I vote and I always vote against politicians that support exploiting the rest of America. South America is America. So is Latin America.
They also ruined the economies of these countries to steal it's resources
Last time two superpowers began looking at Latin America as a power struggle to gain more support we had a wave of US-supported coups and dictatorships. In Argentina, up to 30.000 people went missing due to the will of keeping other ideology off their "backyard", one of many countries affected by Plan Condor to keep the Soviets out. Over 80.000 people confirmed killed or missing, according to surveys found in Paraguay. Almost two decades of repression and fear in the south cone.
It does seems history's destined to repeat.
But this time we will prevail not U.S.A
@@user-wx9xx7yd5b Look, I hope that is the case, but the US is a crazed and brutal culture. I worry that if the US is backed into a corner to give up it's hegemony it will take down a lot of innocent people.
The ColdWar was very unfortunate, and was quite destructive. The U.S.S.R. ( and China, to a lesser extent) did pose a significant threat
and required substantial resistance. The U.S.'s predilection for economic warfare - and regime change, and support for dictators - were
all questionable tactics, and cast a shadow on U.S. history.
I am stunned that US invaded Iraq on false pretenses, and then followed with attacks on Afghanistan, Libya and Syria. While I agree
that Ukraine ought not be a Russian vassal, I'm horrified that U.S. policy involved ignoring the Minsk II agreements, and Stoltenberg & Blinken insisting on having Ukraine join NATO. U.S. policy to Russia would be apt if Russia were still Communists intent on destroying
us (which is not what is happening).
You do not know that Russia is in Europe and that zUkraine has been part is f it for centuries ? There is nothing to compare with south america the Coups organised by the US provoking revolutions and disorder murders etc had degraded all the countries and now that each of them is standing well The USA must not be accepted as a help or a protector as they say if US is your friend it is in fact your worst enemy
It’s “whatever is good for America is good for America, at everyone’s expense”
So true, just look at the price the EU had to bear for the Ukraine/Russia war and how much fortune the US got from this war.
As a Latin American it pains so much, *so much*, that the world powers talk about us as lunch, dispensable, and irrelevant trading commodities
I agree
I really hate to tell you this, but as someone who has worked in the sphere of businesses who receive government contracts I can tell you that this was how they talked about these places for years. People (average ordinary travelers and the like) have always tried to give a more empathetic lens to these countries and communities and were criticised heavily about their position on the perspective of some these 'global or multi national businesses' and their perspective when it came to how they treat the local population and their overall ESG score. It fell on deaf ears. Now more of these populations know the truth. That's their attitude. You're their way to gain a dollar or dime "their lunch money".
La culpa la tienen los mismos latinos por no ser capazes de formar paises civiliados y prosperantes. Una mentalidad de victima nunca noas sacara de la miseria.
America needs to look at itself through the eyes of other countries and be a big brother to raise them up.
@@mr.punkie5872 isso eh correto, não dá pra ajudar, quem não se ajuda.
As a Brazilian, I can say the US has already lost this battle. Latin Americans have always felt undermined and controlled by the American governement, while China has a friendly approach, treating our countries as equals. The question I ask myself is whether the US will accept it peacefully or destabilize our democratically elected governments.
China is smiling and shaking your hand with a knife behind their back
The latter is more probable. The United States of Terrorism
Then why are millions of latin americans trying to get into America?
@@indiandaeng because is the closest place with the better social security and better paid jobs? It helps that there is already an stablished community of fellow compatriots who hopefully can support them.

I'm a Jamaican who has lived in the US for 24 years, and Cuba is only 90 miles from us. We love Cuba and the Cuban people.
America has strangled the Cuban economy for the last 40+ years, and that couldn't break them, and America has sponsored the worst and bloodiest election in Jamaican history, by giving the opposition guns, because the other side were close to Cuba.
America has done nothing but brain drain my country, and explore it for cheap labor, now I can proudly say that China has been building much needed infrastructure in our country, and its a good look.
America actually took notice as to what has been happening, and wanted to make their presence felt, so they sent an admiral of the navy to deliver their message. Not a diploma, someone from the military.
Message received loud and clear, and we are pressing ahead full steam. We may live in your backyard, but the land that we are on is ours.
Thank you for the insight. I had no idea.

I'm Brazilian who loves the USA... but it seems that Americans don't feel the same way about us. we are seen as simple Latinos. The US sees us as competitors and rivals... China sees us as partners and allies. I would prefer a thousand times to have a brotherly relationship with the USA since we are brothers on the American continent but it seems that the USA does not want a Brazil with more than 200 million inhabitants to be a power because they see us as rivals... so we will embrace the opportunity that our Chinese brothers are giving us. china is already our biggest partner and we are going to fight for the fall of the dollar so as not to be hostage to future sanctions coming from the USA since the USA uses its currency as a weapon. Long live Brazil and long live China. as my mom says... we have to care who cares about us. USA doesn't care about its brothers in the southern hemisphere... unfortunately!

Give up on the USA buddy, you're simply not anglo or white enough for them. South Korea got a taste of it, one of US's biggest allies in Asia against China, and they were snubbed from getting nuclear submarine deal, which was signed by Australia, UK and US, called AUKUS. Australia has a small population compared to any other big country, but their ethnicity, entitles them to anything the US deems not suitable for most countries, such as nuclear technology. The problem with America's backyard, is that they look up to America like it's the epitome of civilised society, because of all the Hollywood movies, Hollywood is controlled by AIPAC btw. Wash that American dirt off your eyes, and travel to China, you'll realise how your life has been a big lie all along 😂🤣😅
While North Americans can't decide whether we are their "lunch" or their "backyard" (or both), China keeps coming to us with real proposals. Obviously China has its own interests and a somewhat obscure agenda, but they have invested a lot in our country and, above all, they have treated us with respect.
sure
I like that
China hopes to make each nation wealthier and then buy more Chinese products. Only peace can bring prosperity to all mankind. Win-win is the key!
The American adminstrations for the laz 30 years has a "disconnection" problem. Here's an example given by the lndonesian Foreign Minister ... "China ( Wang Yi ) came with gifts and asked 'What do you need?'. America ( Blinken ) came empty handed and TELL US to contain China." China focus on what lndonesia needs, US focus on what itself want at the expense of others. Who do you think lndonesia will lean to?

Just another day in the land of FreeDUMB and DemoCRAZY.
I as a Latin American bear in mind, due to the history and conditions of my region, all the outrages that the US government has committed against us. I know that the people of the USA are independent of what the government of that country does, I appreciate that there are channels like yours, that contribute to the fraternal union of peoples.
It's by the people for the people to the people, our government is a mirror perfect representation of the American public. It is spiritually inspired. Don't forget saten comes as an angel of light to steal ,to cheat and to murder. God is good not evil like America.
The best thing countries can do is play both sides with superpowers and build lasting benefits for their people, retaining resources, talent, and infrastructure domestically. If the US has a problem with this, they need to start offering better deals
This will not change soon. US will starting change when BRICS started being able to stop the way US rule the wolrd.

War mongering attitude of USA to blame
The first step is to stop using the "backyard" word.
Excellent analysis Cyrus! You totally right. Thank you!
I am from Brazil and the History of US actions in this region has very little to do with improving democracy and human rights. It's pretty much the contrary. China in the other hand does not seems to care about anything except business.
China in the last 4 os 5 years has become our biggest economic partner with 2 times the volume of trade if we consider our trade with US and they want more.
That is one thing I love about China...they ust focus on business....we do this for that....keep it simple just focus on trade
@@CyrusJanssen
About two years ago our former "ministro das relações exteriores" (the same as secretary of State in the US) Ernesto Araujo, lost his job because he was very open about his position agaisnt China growing influence over Brazil and South America and very openly pro USA.
The problem is: in the last 4 or 5 years China has become our biggest comercial partner.
When the chinese government demonstrated its disconfort with the public opinions of Ernesto Araújo about China the brazilian government had no choice but let him go. The business people here demanded some response from the president.
We share the same democratic values as the american people and the american culture is dominant over here.
There is also a lot of distrust towards China in most brazillian minds and many many people don't like the Idea of a chinese influence over south America due their autocratic regime but I must be honest and say that: this is changing. And I don't see the USA doing anything to prevent that and regain it's position. Even the military - the most pro USA group in our society - are starting to move towards China. Something I never thought possible.
Basically the chinese understand that with business the political influence is a natural consequence and America seems to believe it is the other way around.

Cyrus I’m amazed by your explanation and the research that you’ve done for your videos. Keep going.❤❤❤
"my back yard" spoken like a true spoiled brat of an emperor.
Imagine calling it "our hemisphere" and referring to Chinas trade deals with the american countries as "eating our lunch". Can you get any more imperialistic? Your hemisphere?
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of nations, (at least to the south of you), that would strongly disagree with such a statement. The hemisphere doesn't belong to USA. Also, "eating our lunch" sounds like a freudian slip that is casually admitting that the american continents is nothing more than sustenance for the USA. Absolutely awful lack of respect for other nations.
Also, this constant idea of calling latin american and caribbean countries the "backyard" of the US ... It's very patronizing and disrespectful. It's like they are not "real" countries. They don't get to live along the street, so they have to stay in our "backyard". You see the exact same with the smaller pacific countries, like the Solomon Islands. They are not treated as a fellow country but as the "backyard" of Australia. And predictably, the people of that nation are getting pretty tired of being treated like that.
Mia Mottley of Barbados was very clear in an interview with BBC how she felt about that characterization; pointing out that they are NEIGHBORS to the USA and should be treated as such. Smaller, yes, but no less a country than anyone else.
The main reason USA is losing its grip is because they have zero diplomatic tact and skill. They have a failing economy and less and less to offer. They have a very unsteady foreign policy that changes every 4 or 8 years, often 180 degrees. Something for example Iran has gotten extremely "done" with. Also, when all their "foreign aid" consists of arming rebel groups and building american military bases, while all the actual money never leaves the USA. They end up lining the pockets of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and the rest of the ghoulish death merchants over there.
USA built up all its power abroad through force, or threats of force. The only reason they allied with western Europe after WW2 was to get a strategic beachhead against the Soviets. Not because they ever cared one bit about the well-being of the people in Europe. They've tried the same on all other continents, and for a while it worked. But now, there are other powers that can be much more beneficial do deal with. So why wouldn't they?
China only demands that you stay out of their internal affairs, and they'll stay out of yours. With that as a basis they'll trade with you and invest in all kinds of projects. And no, it's not a debt trap. This has been debunked by economic experts over and over, yet keeps repeated in a desperate attempt to smear China.
In the end, it's a VERY good deal for countries that have been bullied by USA for decades. It's the same thing in Africa where the nations still carry massive scars from western colonial times. Then in comes China and treats them like fellow nations instead of pawns. No wonder they sign onto BRI.
"our hemisphere" ... don't make me vomit.
(Edited for a typo that annoyed me, I meant to say all the "actual money" instead of "actualy money")
Edit: Thanks for all the likes and positive responses. Glad to see that more people reacted to this blatant show of "american exceptionalism" at its worst.

One reason is that the U.S. always thought of Latin America as their private backyard, interfering in the region politics and financing coups. They don't respect Latin America's democracy, they don't respect the self-determination of peoples. And not only in this continent. In south-eastern Asian, middle Asia and Africa, too. Even Europe.
They also tried to make Southeast Asia their backyard but everybody knows what happened to them in Vietnam.

As Argentinian I can say that China presence here is do to the US favouring UK relationships down in the Atlantic. The UK doesn't want investments to come to Argentina so they pressure the US not to invest here in anything. I remember that China offered to build and invest on a sea port in our province of Tierra del Fuego so our ships could travel easier our goods, the ambassador of the US along side the female general came all the way down here to order our Governor to say "no" to China, so he ask them and offer the US to invest on the infrastructure and they responded that "the US isn't interested in that project and we don't want to ruin our relationship with the UK our closest ally" so there you all go. China wins.

Our politicians have taken our tax dollars and done egregious acts all over the world. We have absolutely no say in how our money is spent and what clandestine activities it funds and weaponizes. That's the price we pay for not holding our politicians 100% accountable, confiscating their stolen wealth, and imprisoning them for life.

Ok good job Bud, let me know if you find out a way to imprison those politicians. I am sure you're not the first to thought of that. Let me know once you find out a solution to it. I am sure I'll be dead by then, but you're welcome to tell me in your next life.

Julius Nyerere famously said, “The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them.”
haha I like that quote a lot! Need to use this in an upcoming video!!
It may be difficult to believe, but China's one party state essentially has to *represent all* 100% of Chinese interests (or at least 80-90%) because there is no other party to blame for any mistake. Whereas the U.S's two party state only has *partial representation* by either the Democrats or the Republicans who represent maybe around 51% of American's interests? (P.S Some believe the real figure is actually just 1% of American's interests, if you know what I mean.)
China's one-party governance serves the interests of more than 90% of the Chinese people, but it is not controlled by big financial groups. The US Democratic and Republican parties both serve big financial groups, such as rifle associations, military-industrial enterprises, oil, and financial capitalists.
That was a good one.👏🏿🤣🤣🤣
Not sure how many Americans know who Julius Nyerere was, but I do! Anyway, there is greater separation between the American parties than in his day. Whether that is to the benefit of Americans or the Americas or the world remains to be seen.
I'm a Mexican who just learned that the US's department of state is financing our current government's opposition. We have struggled for decades of corruption and fraud in all sectors, and we just recently were able to vote for better party, and the US is trying to undermine that because it's against their interests. That, among many, many other reasons, is why our president is so angry with the US, and so are we.

I fucking love how we have a $900 billion dollar military budget and have no problem overthrowing governments around the world and fuckin over countries for the benefit of a few corporations while the average joes here are barely making it. There’s a reason why socialism is becoming more popular among the youth. We’re tired of seeing the fucking while also getting fucked
What a choice ? You can choose between a country constantly at war, or one constantly building things around the world.
I appreciate this video, Cyrus. Thank you! 👏
The first mistake is to STILL REFER TO US AS YOUR BACKYARD! WE ARE NOBODY’S BACKYARD!
@Beast Mode Not any more
So Ukraine and Europe is in Russian backyard
Same to those islands countries near Australia.
Exactly.
Amen to this one! Who TF they think they are talking to.
The problem is, the US sees Latin American as its “back-yard”. China may also have its own purposes, but the Chinese see Latin American as trading partners/targets. That’s the difference
中国当然有目的啊，就是赚钱，但前提是拉美国家也要从中获益，如果任何一方没有获益，这都是失败的。Of course, China has its own goals, which is to make money. However, the premise is that Latin American countries should also benefit from it. If either party does not benefit, it would be considered a failure.
I listen to your post regularly because u tell the truth .

Venezuela..Nicaragua..Cuba spoke volumes due to their absence. Respect to Mexico for sticking up for those countries. A true demonstration of leadership and solidarity.
venazula Cuba nicuarauga = micro managers

Do your have any evidence or is butt hurt speaking? China it’s not only eating the us lunch but breakfast and dinner to it’s time for the whole continent to celebrate their 2 second independence freedom from the imperial beast
What the the US failed to mention is that the vast majority of the countries that China does business with approach China to do business with China, not the other way around. They saw the great results China has brought for its business partners and so they want to be a part of it. So all of these "China is seeking to put countries into debt traps and lure countries into its sphere of influence" accusations by the US is simply another lie made up by the anti-China propaganda machine known as the USA!
It's getting to the point where the US's entire foreign agenda is to sit back and watch what China is doing and then go in there to try to mess things up for China! The US has no strategy nor any good intention for other countries whatsoever when it comes to its foreign policies. Its entire strategy is to undo whatever China is doing with other countries with whatever force it takes to undo it! It's such a loser's mentality! I want to say the US is the Tonya Harding of international competition, but using Tonya Harding as an analogy for the US's shady ways is an insult to Tonya Harding since Tonya Harding doesn't do 1/1 billionth of the crimes that the US government does on a daily basis!
In countries like Brazil and Argentina, the powerhouses of South America, the hate toward USA is quite deep. It's a long long history of boycott in economy aspects, military, technological and etc.
It's understandable that when USA asks for Brazil and Argentina to join and sanction Russia, for those Latin countries to refuse as its happening now.
Mexico is THE Powerhouse of Latin America
I am brazilian, Europe and America started to pressure us claiming Amazonia as not 'ours' and ceasing to do business, so we needed to approach China. There is nothing to be gained involving ourselves in a war which is not ours, we are not even NATO members, and we already had business which Russia, if the military complex from USA wants to profit from war , do it alone. Even if Putin is not a fine person, i don't think Zelensky smell like roses either. It do not 'hate' USA, but their late choices of administration and policies does not make me happy, and i am sure even americans will not enjoy at the end, but that is their problem, not mine.

America choosing to leave out the countries you mentioned in the summit was a passive aggressive move to show Latin America "who's the boss" and it was not taken well at all. For a while US was the most feasible super power Latin America can trade and form relations with but an alternative is here and it is China. America is digging its own grave with these blatant display of "power moves". A good and productive event could have been held in the summit but ego and pride of America ruined it.
Not of America, of the United States.
You made no sense bidens party is ruining it lol why blame America
How good is that, but never forget THE PLAN CONDOR of the eightieth, that still vivid in the mind of so many south American. The question is: will THE EVIL EMPIRE let the South act as free nations, the verdict is still not defined...Time will tell. FINGERS CROSSED!
The problem for the US is that they keep using same old strategies in a changing world.

China is currently *at peace and not at war* with any country, since our last major conflict in 1979. Instead of making war, China is building infrastructure like _roads, railways, highways, bridges, tunnels, powerstations, dams, ports, airports,_ etc and investing in developing countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and also African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Chad, Sudan, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, etc.
Whereas the United States is *warmonger* being involved in Gulf War, Iraq War, Afghan War, Libyan War, Syrian War, Yemen War, etc, even in the 21st century. USA is bombing in those Middle Eastern countries and enacting regime change by cutting off their "heads" (Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, etc) and then installing their own US puppet governments in place. If anything, it sounds like the United States is a threat to global peace and stability.
No "sounds like" about it. We're on the edge of collapse. When it happens, maybe China will come in and offer us to be a part of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Is that why Sri Lanka went bankrupt and China took over their port ???
@@maddog3768 Firstly, those two events occurred at different times and one wasn't the cause of the other. Sri Lankan government found that leasing Hambantota port to Chinese companies for 99 years was a better deal than the earlier arrangement, so it did that to free up Sri Lankan revenue to channel elsewhere. In 99 years time, the lease would have expired and Hambantota port returned to Sri Lanka.
The current Sri Lankan banktrupt was caused by other factors like Russo-Ukraine conflict. Japan actually holds more Sri Lankan debt compared to China.
@@maddog3768 90% of Sri Lankas debt is owed to not China . The Sri Lankans were told to build the port in stages but wanted to build it in one go getting further in debt . The Chinese took over the port in lieu of the debt and pay rent for the port.
Sri Lankas problem is the same as Americas massive debt, corrupt oligarchs and corrupt politicians .
@Beast Mode It's no secret that the U.S is in decline and China is rising. Time is on China's side and China just needs to avoid getting suckered into an unnecessary war. As long as peace prevails, the U.S will decline to the point where they can no longer afford to challenge China's rise anymore.

“It’s impossible for every country to embrace America’s form of government”. I can’t agree with you more. You are 100% on point!
Especially now it seems to be a failed system in.the US. It's really ridiculous to force other countries to copy a failed system.
China isn't interested in exporting our political system, unlike what the U.S is doing with democracy. China's model is not necessarily suitable for other countries to adopt, but China's model is successful for China, so other developing countries are welcome to pick up elements of China's model and apply it to their governments.
@Pain Zer0 like he said, China’s system is indeed successful for China, whether you like it or not is irrelevant.
@Pain Zer0 Tibet was part of China since 800 years ago, back when the Mongols conquered Kingdom of Tibet and Song Dynasty China and incorporated those territories into Yuan Dynasty China. The Manchu conquerors did a similar thing with Tibet centuries later during the Qing Dynasty China. Just look up maps of Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty and Tibet is clearly part of China's history, as well as a part of People's Republic of China today. Why then, should China give up our ancestral lands?

Well, even though I am not a fan of China, it is understandable that the resentments of Latin America, because of the Reagan years, have come back to bite the hand of the US.
The main difference is probably the fact that China wins its allies with investment, while the US probably offers only democracy. Both countries aim for exploitation and influence...So we have a clear winner. Not very familiar with the US foreign policy, but this is a fact for China as well in the African countries. They made huge investments in local airports, schools and other projects, which help local people.
as a brazilian i feel that the united states always wanted us to have our development delayed and lagging behind, and it seems that china has seen this and is interested in a more developed brazil. I am very sad to see that the relationship between the United States and Latin America is always so strange and unequal, we were supposed to be brothers.

Well as an European who has always been sceptical about the US "intentions" when trying to save the world for just another time, that scepsis turned into somewhat hate when Ukraine invasion started and i spent quite some time reading into things to gain some knowledge.
From what ive read and the conclusions coming from that I dont think your thesis is far from reality. No matter which so called partner/ally of the US we are talking about, if given country crosses US interests, they will feel it one way or the other.
Sanctioning companies in economic areas threatening the US economy, setting up regime changes or if thats not enough and the country isnt scary military wise, the US will simply send you back to middle age with its military.
China is a great example, as the US simply cant hold them in place, as much as they try.
Back in the days they accepted the "One China policy" but as Taiwan has a huge strategic value with its position in front of Chinas main land, they are willing to defend it and permanently annoy China with it. Sanctioning Chinas Chip industry to the point that a company in the Netherlands gets threatened to get sanctioned and the goverment of the netherlands getting involved so that company doesnt provide China the machines they asked for.
As far as South America is concerned i guess Venezuela is a very recent example of the US definition of human rights.
As long as youre giving us the natural ressources we ask for, you are free to live. But if you dont let Exxon or whichever company take your oil, we will send your people into poverty and the country in pure chaos, by accepting a president who didnt get voted.
Actual disgrace to the world that country
China only wants political influence. They dont care about anyone. Im not saying US does either but at least we have latin americans/ LA descendants living over here. I hope latin america flourishes.
im from brazil and imma be honest, were just ducks drifiting though the water + terrible government (lula in particular, he's the worst), the reality is US and China have somewhat the same level of influence over us in our country, anyways long story short, whoever invest more in our country exploits us further, china work around here hasn't exactly done much good to anyone outside of pure business opportunitys, much like any US or foreign business, the only reason china is winning the race is purely because of interest, our lives have not improved because of the chinese, in fact things are getting worse because we are slowly becoming china's vassals.

The Western media is just trying to vilify china while portraying a vilified US as a savior
China’s modern foreign policy is fundamentally different to the US. Western commentators fail to understand China’s seemingly altruistic actions and therefore read into it with suspicion. But China often plays the long game and understands that it’s more beneficial to build up other countries to become economically stable future trading partners. On the other hand western projects in developing countries typically involve one-sided resource extraction and exploitative deals for short or mid term gains. China also has the advantage of being more centralised, if the party feels as though a Chinese corporation is making them look bad o the world stage they have the power to exert control over or punish those corporations, whereas American and European private companies are under no such threat and can behave with impunity
Like build plants that blow up in India killing 3787 people? US refused to get involved!
China has a long perspective from its 5000 years of history!

As an American your channel is illuminating and much needed. The U.S. has apparently treated Latin America and Africa with condescension rather than with respect and as partners.
Brazil always tried to get closer relations with America.. but it feels like they treated us as 2nd class allies, and its ok..but Even our right wing ppl dont rly care abt America anymore.
Not only that, U.S has been a mayor cancer to Latin America, organizing coups when it's not a government in his favor, putting dictators instead, breaking ours economies, Venezuela is an example of that, the unilateral sanctions are a crime against that country's people, all the invasions that the U.S makes only bring chaos, dead and misery to those people countries, enough it's enough were tired of your shit

As Latino-American I feel absolutely disgusted on how the US government sees our countries, we're nothing but their "backyard", also, the trade relationships between our countries are completely harmfull only for the LATAM countries, the US can't never lose or let a smaller country to win anything. And last but not least, it just only takes to read a few pages of history between their government snd our countries, you'll rapidly find that they hadn't been as friendly as anyone can expect, but yeah, they have shown to the entire world that our people are nothing but criminals, cheap work force or even only poor hungry animals escaping from their corrupt governments to the land of oportuinites, that can be seen in the media that they produce on their streaming plataforms, movies, etc. It is not a coincidence that when somebody says they name of one of our countries You can only think in the imaginary that series or tv shows created about us
The solution starts by stop calling the Unite States of America just "America" because it implies they own the continent.
I dont think that will change anything. People call it America simply because it's the name. The same way we call Mexico even though it's technically the United Mexican States. I think the problem is that people fail to see context, which is more of an individual problem. Many people also differentiate the two by calling the continents "the Americas" or "Las Americas". What you're saying is completely minor and irrelevant to the actual problem and relationship dynamic.
They are United States of América. They are not América. Mexixans, South and Central Américas are all Americans .
@aliciadematteis7181 This i may agree more upon. But again, context is a big part of what you're talking about. I know that in spanish this is easily solved by saying estadounidense, but i guess it's still a problem in English.

pocket money hey? united snakes not even shy away to give 40 billions pocket money to ukraine. poor america :/
The Chinese way is attractive unlike being host to another US military base which brings death and destruction rather than economic advancement and prosperity for the people
Indeed. China was once a dirt-poor starving country (perhaps even poorer than African countries) in the past, but we found success through infrastructure development. China is now offering this same path to success to other developing countries in Africa.
And ? Don't you want investment ? What is your point ? Investment creates jobs and opportunities ....this helps develop and build an economy which further creates more jobs and opportunities which helps a nation grow rich which encourages trade which generates income to pay back that investment ...a win-win situation ....or do you prefer the hand outs that temporarily eases a situation and selling your resources to multinational corporations in one off deals so your country doesn't own those resources anymore and your country is run by oligarchs and elites who make money from the selling of those resources but care not for the ordinary people ? They win , you lose ,zero sum game that is the other option. ??
How about China taking over countries assets if they cannot pay. Look at Sri Lanka. Look at what China is doing to poor African countries. These loans are only favorable to China and take advantage to poor countries. Bunch of lying thieves.

The is mainly true bc corporations have too much influence. This means the US government makes its foreign policy based on the financial interests of those corporations and then back it with its military presence.
