Dear Dr. Neil, I am listening to you from Cambodia. English is my second language. Thank you so much for making it all precise enough for many, if not millions, of us to understand all many of the topics you have presented so far. Also, thanks to Mr. Lhatoo and crews at SCMP for this conversation.
Every Neil deGrasse Tyson interview had been extremely informative, interesting and draw you in into his history. For someone that smart, he conveys his messages so well that even a normal person can understand it really well. It is a joy listening to his story.

I'm a fan of the straight talking Mr. Lhatoo. I've seen other interviews conducted by Mr. Lhatoo on politics. However I'm pleasantly surprised that he interviewed one of foremost astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. This was very stimulating and fun. Nice job.
Great to see international co-operation and intellectual sharing. We all need to respond, when asked who we are, "I'm a Human Being" and when asked, where do you come from, we respond "Planet Earth". We need to unite and stop this ongoing division of people and countries around the world. We have far more similarities than differences.
US to NASA :stop working with China and don't share ISS with China. China :No problem. we will figure it out and build one. US to Google :stop doing business with Huawei and kick them out of Google Mobile Services. Huawei : No problem. We will figure it out. (Harmony OS) US to TSCM : stop making Kirin chips for Huawei. Surrender your customer trade secrets data to the Commerce department. Move your manufacturing facilities to Arizona. Huawei : No problem. We will find a way to make our own chips. It is too obvious that US is using the unfair practices to destroy the world supply chains. The world will eventually wake up to reliaze that America technology, products and services are not reliable. Why? Because you never know when they will sanction you for using US technology and services, including USD and SWIFT.
At least, he is courageous in accepting the reality no matter if we agree with his political opinions or the silly term of frenemy. In this aspect, he is better than most politicians and war mongers in the US.
Neil is a great person with wisdom he doesn't like taken side. He only want the advancement of humanity to work together but we have forces out there that want to divide and taken side. This is why I like Neil deGrasse Tyson and watch his StarTalk channel.

For the record, In the top 100 STEM universities In the world, Chinese universities are ranked higher than US universities. The US is still ranked higher in the number of top ten universities in the world. But China is aiming at those.
China = a country led by a chemical engineer, before that a hydrological engineer, before that an electrical engineer, before that a political scientist, and before that a political scientist... America = a country led by a career politician & lawyer, before that a reality TV star & real-estate developer, before that a corporate lawyer, before that an oil prospector & lawyer, and before that a lawyer... the leaders of a country are a representation of what that country prioritizes in its value and social fabric...

In the U.S they rely on administrations, that's why when you hear about government programs in the news they usually say..."the Bush administration, the Obama administration, the Biden administration, etc"...they put the emphasis on the team and not on one man, It's a more democratic view of things. As for China well... these seem to be the remnants of the cult of personality and it's only getting worst with the current president, I wouldn't be too exited about that.
Wonderful addition! All parts I’ve watched so far are great, Tyson is a smart and easy to understand man! He is completely right that our greatest advancements as a species arise from conflict and “not to die” mentality.
Not even sure if the US can compete with China in space the same way they did with the Soviet Union back then. The economics are completely different. If today's China wants to accomplish the same thing as the US, they could do it at a fraction of the cost. It won't even be an even competition.
China could have been a friend, but US didn’t welcome them to the ISS. So China built their own space station and has a chip on its shoulder. US very shortsighted

Nah, you're thinking that the Chinese think like the Americans. They do not. It's one of many reasons the self-absorbed Americans have a hard time understanding how the Chinese society works.
If you want to treat China as a friend, China is happy to be a friend. But if you want to treat China as an enemy, China is fully prepared. It is all up to the US but its sincerity must be able to stand the test of time
One question Yhoden did not ask Neil: since Neil forms his beliefs and wisdom from evidence-based science, (a) does he acknowledge that there may be evidence of life after death that human currently have not yet devised a tool to measure, and (b) what may be some of the forms that those evidence must take in order to be definitive that life after death exists or at least may exist?
All kinds of new words are invented to describe this relationship between US and China. I wonder which one of them can make the Americans actually accept their reality?
China is expected to produce around 75 thousand STEM PhD graduates per YEAR by 2025, compared to its nearest competitor USA around 45k, but half of it are foreigners....

Oblivion is the fate if all things. Nothing last forever.
Yonden Lhatoo should ask question on another mystery: “ as an evidence driven person, do you think the Uyghur genocide really exists? “
To be a friend of US can be lethal
TO BE AN ENEMY OF USA YOU WLL FORCE YOURSELF TO "SUFFER AS YOU MUST"
Everything is a race, usa was leading in the first 10 meters, China n others r catching up n overtaking usa.
