YES INDEED eventhough he's Indian and by far he looks at things at a bigger picture with reasons, logics, history then made decisions unlike most mainstream media in India bashing china bad bad bad. we need a wonderful human like him in this challenging time. Love him and i'm a follower happy new Vijay!
Excuse my ignorance but I'd never heard of Vijay Prashad previously. This interview with Liu Xin is exceptional. What exceptionally knowledgeable journalists they both are. Thank you for a wonderful and balanced view of the world. If only Australian journalists were this professional and knowledgeable.

As Somalian who suffered and lived civil war devastated for 30 years, BRICS initiated global south economic cooperation gives me lot of hope that brics I’ll help my country recover and politically stabilize ones again . My best wishes for BRICS .
The conflict in Ukraine is a defining moment. For the first time the world realized that the US is no longer the hegemon and that the US is no longer the world's number one military power even though it has 800 over military bases around the world.
How does it show the US isn't the number one power? The US military isn't even there. If anything, it proves the Ruskies are a second rate power. Struggling against Ukraine and 5% of NATO donations
The 800 US military bases around the globe is representative of the imperialist colonialist ambitions of the rogue US regime. It will serve as the rope that will eventually strangle the US to death.
@@ThePorkchop1787 The USA has three weapons - massive military, usd/swift and msm. All 3 are being challenged. BRICS+ is the biggest threat to the USA because its a trade bloc. They are creating an alternative to the usd/swift/imf that is forcing the USA to address their debt. Every international trade done outside the usd limits their ability to print more. The petrol dollar has ended. Trade deficits with everybody, boats come in full and leave empty. Trump has threatened nations who do not trade in the usd thinking the US purchasing power will scare them to behave. Risky. It may make the BRICS alternative stronger. He thinks tariffs are the incentive for manufacturing to return. High wages and poor infrastructure will require a huge investment = more debt. It will take a decade for the USA to catch up Will a company like Dewalt shut shop in China? The black market will flourish Can the USA go without? Austerity? How does the very expensive mic fight an economical war?
Very good analysis as always, Vijay Prashad clear headed and inspiring - something to be expected with so much journalistic experience, historical acumen and not least a Marxist political economy background.
The Bandung spirit was born because of the leaders of Asia such as the big three: Sukarno, Nehru and Chou enlai. Sukarno called the West neo-colonialist simply because they did not change the mindset of "colonialism" but introduced the unilateral world order led by the usa. People were deceived by the so called "democracy a la usa" but it is clear now that this has been a cover-up for the real reason, namely the domination of the world through a unipolar world order based on hypocrisy. China is the only one country that was not entirely colonized by western power in the 19th Century. China has now emerged as the new world leader that is strong enough to defy the West and catalysts a change into the multi polar world order. We are now in the transition period in which the two world orders clash. The old will weaken as the new becomes stronger by the day.
May I propose that we use the term Global Majority instead of Global South. Given the size of population, history, cultural heritage and societal values, the political culture, pro-growth policies and the collaborative relationships in foreign and economic policies.
China is the west with a new paint job, western modeled and western technology They use western business to gain their currency economy and status, they terrorize their neighbors to get what they want, hacking systems and stealing intellectual property East is the same as the west
"Expand the zone of peace" YES! The whole world - except war profiteers - yearn for peace. I'd love to see Vijay Prashad on as a regular reporter and CGTN is by far an exemplary news station. For interviews a quiet set is nice. For news there should be world maps galore.
It is important that China and India, China being BRICS member countries, must create an environment in each country among their masses that we are friends. Both Countries internally have to resolve human rights.
I agree with Vijay. The world by in large a peaceful place but that peaceful coexistence is shattered by the Western domination through its media and military stranglehold. We the global South should collaborate in building a peaceful world without the West interference.
That's a nice way of thinking! But an elephant cannot have a peaceful walk if it has a thorn in its foot! The thorn must be removed! Peace always comes after War! If the peaceful side has the better weapons, then the war may be avoided, but for sure the enemy will return! A bully only learns from a beating that teaches him a lesson he won't forget!
re: journalism. i once heard the stories of a retired malaysian officer who served peacekeeping and WMD search missions in iraq (both of the wars). he said that all the western news he saw about iraq were not accurate, on the ground it was different. al jazeera was good for iraq (obv the second one, it didn’t exist yet for the first one), channel news asia was also pretty accurate. if that’s the case, how much falsehood did we believe in the days when global south outlets like CNA, al jazeera etc didn’t exist yet?

Vijay is pretty naiive and sentimental. He doesn't see that the capitalists in the third world will always side with imperialism. Only socialist revolution, and internationalist working class rule, can break the chains of world imperialism.
Vijay your remarkably decolonized perspectives greatly boost my lifelong journey of personal decolonization. And internalizing merely one of your perspectives helps engender others in me, eg the notion of “The International Division of Humanity” has in turn, spawned a refutation of Western racialized categories like BIPOC. As long as we submit to these sanitized acronyms, whose function is to perpetuate White Supremacy, we contribute to it. Rather, referring to ourselves collectively as merely Non-White, puts the discomfort of the term White Supremacy into relief, to be challenged in full view.
The confidence will be there when you decide to confront the aggressor. You can't be confident if your leaders are afraid. Your leaders have to show their spine. You seem to put a lot of importance in your profession. It is important but not as important as your leadership. If Russia decided to take out the Zelensky government from the very beginning, the West would not have escalated. But they've shown weakness and fear, so the Western leadership took advantage. If Iran attacked Israel decisively, Turkey and other Arab states would have backed off. But Iran didn't, so they took advantage and took down the Assad government. If China does not take over Taiwan, their enemies will be emboldened, and their attacks will escalate. Your trade routes will be blocked. And your indecisive leaders are to blame.
Possibly the most relevant question in the comments section - please be mindful that for BRICS to go beyond slogans, we must see that ambitions stem from domestic considerations, politics - and of course every country is looking to win more, whether it's economic advantage, geopolitcal agency, all to win domestic political and economic space. So "questions" continue to exist because aims are not solidified, consider the multiple bureaucracies competing with each other regarding the possible responses to Dollar weaponization - Questions do not exist in a vacuum, they do because of uncertainty.
@@tariquekhan1118 Judging by other interviews I have watched over the last 18 months with Vijay about BRICS I think that something else is going on with him and the Tricontinental Institute. For example, from Vijay's comments one would be forgiven for thinking that BRICS is just a talking shop when in fact it is very busy designing and building institutions in order to overcome the disadvantages that developing countries face in the current world order. But Vijay does even mention these efforts never mind analyzing or critiquing them. Take the issue of the need for alternative media in the developing world that Vijay focused on in this CGTN interview. There is a BRICS Media Group which has an annual summit. As you can see from the last summit meeting last September in Russia it recognizes the same problem and is trying to address it: " The BRICS Media Summit will take place in Moscow on 13-17 September. The event will be attended by the heads of leading BRICS media entities, as well as media outlets from countries that have expressed interest in expanding cooperation with the group. The panel sessions will include discussions about the role of the BRICS media community in bolstering stability in a multipolar world, as well as technological aspects of information interaction between BRICS countries." Vijay is a highly intelligent and experienced figure on the subjects covered by this Summit. Why did he not attend with suggestions for a way forward? For example, why can't we set up a pro BRICS media agency funded by BRICS members which could begin to rival western news agencies such as US-based Associated Press and UPI, UK-based Reuters and BBC, Agence France Press, Italy-based Inter Press Service etc. In addition to setting the record straight and providing propaganda-free reports, it could provide video footage from both sides of conflicts etc. Similarly, we could create an alternative to TH-cam free of censorship, ads and other negative aspects that would become attractive to content creators and viewers alike. Vijay is a highly creative and progressive personality, with a large audience and a well funded organization behind him. It is time he stopped commenting on BRICS from a distance and got stuck in with constructive proposals to overcome some of the shortfalls he highlights.
Vijay giving us the gumption to say no to bullies. Multi polar has only benefited revenue not people. Even here we have to remind ourselves the Global South has to deal with previous colonisers, colonisers who behave like USA. Canada, UK, AUS and NZ are unoccupied countries. It is like an under current , the Anglo Saxons are kingpins and we the rest are third class. This results in unfair practices set by them even in revenue earning. Technology is giving the West the opportunity to control the Global South. Maybe each country has to guard their own telecom industry
All elevators and lobbies of private corporations in Mexico feature BBC broadcasts. The Global South countries corporations should remain vigilant about potential propaganda and prioritize promoting independent media to shift people mindset.
*The USA/collective Western plot is always the same.* The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent. *Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history.* Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting? *Different Empires. Different era. Same games...* ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. _Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._ *Divide-and-rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours. *Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.* Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same golden hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side". *In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet. *And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism. Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide. *Divide and Rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games. THE LINK OF THE WORLD. The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide. Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams *War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
One day sovereignty jurisdiction and patriotism flags will be a thing of the past and our human species will look back and laugh at the whole thing and history books will will register it as pages of the age of personal ambitions.
Hyper imperialism is THE major threat to world unity . Each country / nation state, will find it's own path based on It's own cultures and traditions.. The model for development has been laid...removing 800,000+ from abject poverty...Infrastructure development, ,inc hospitals, schools, food and water security ,loan forgiveness, etc. The rest is fluff. A hand held out to help the least of us realize our own dreams without limitations by someone else is paramount. Any catalyst that allows for this vs colonialism is preferred. Too often academicians use the language of the colonizer to measure success. "Throw away the good , in pursuit of the perfect"...,Fortunately , the language of the new "mood" is to describe what is and it's effect on the populations and determine how to fix the shortcomings, rather than look through the prism of the shortcomings to declare the feasibility of human safety , security and contentment. The proof is in the pudding, and more of the countries of world is now beginning to eat just fine
Vijay Prashad, he's by far one of the most intelligent journalists that speaks nothing but the truth,
and A GREAT HUMAN BEING!!!
YES INDEED eventhough he's Indian and by far he looks at things at a bigger picture with reasons, logics, history then made decisions unlike most mainstream media in India bashing china bad bad bad. we need a wonderful human like him in this challenging time. Love him and i'm a follower happy new Vijay!
He is not a journalist tho. Academic, historian, thinker, writer etc. would be better descriptions for him.
Vijay, you have my appreciation and love. I really admire your knowledge!!!
Two great journalists who bring us knowledge and ideas with intelligence and respect for all humanity. Love your optimism

@TacticalMayo not yet. Armageddon comes when the antichrist comes to power. He will emerge in the West and tries to dominate the whole world.
China is the west with a new paint job, western modeled and western technology
They use western business to gain their currency economy and status, they terrorize their neighbors to get what they want, hacking systems and stealing intellectual property
East is the same as the west
Whilst the successor Suharto was a monster.
@grouchypatch9185 because of corruption and the support he enjoyed from the usa.
Very good reporting
From Australia 🦘🇦🇺
looking sharp, Vijay 😀👍
Seconded .
Vijay Prashad is a great journalist. I’ve learned a lot from him.
❤❤❤👍 from Srilanka
I absolutely love Liu Xin. She is an amazing journalist and beautiful. I hope that's ok to say.
I also love Vijay, but he is only average looking. 😅
He was particularly fetching here.
Great segment
Excellent and heartfelt discussion
"Expand the zone of peace" YES! The whole world - except war profiteers - yearn for peace. I'd love to see Vijay Prashad on as a regular reporter and CGTN is by far an exemplary news station. For interviews a quiet set is nice. For news there should be world maps galore.
We need more V.J. Prasad to help the Global South to voice against the West
Agreed 100% .
Comintern for life❤ Hail Vijay
China n India should work together just like they did 1000 years ago.
It's unlikely till tibet is occupied by china
Vijay is such a superb vision broadening human being. I learn every time I listen to him. Thanks for your giving and sharing🙏🙏
Thank you!
It is important that China and India, China being BRICS member countries, must create an environment in each country among their masses that we are friends.
Both Countries internally have to resolve human rights.
I agree, but it will not happen while pro western boot licker Modi is the prime minister.
Thank you!!!
This is one of the most constructive, informative and insightful interviews. Well done!
Going forward 2025... Vijay should be invited and feature in more of CGTN global Geopolitical issues.
yes I agree,and reside in China and advise on wests anti China policies.
Love Vijay's brain!
Very well spoken. How hard is it for India and Pakistan to solve a border dispute and start trading together? Very easy!
May the BRICS plus take off like a 🚀getting bigger and stronger.
I agree with Vijay. The world by in large a peaceful place but that peaceful coexistence is shattered by the Western domination through its media and military stranglehold. We the global South should collaborate in building a peaceful world without the West interference.

Vijay Prashad is a Great Intellectual with far sight and Truth. 👍👌🥰
BRICS has to work more cohesively and expand faster. Bandung spirit too required to be revived Fully.
Well said my brother
Very interesting topic well explained
Top class content .. kudos to CGTN for such thoughtful shows 🎉🎉
re: journalism. i once heard the stories of a retired malaysian officer who served peacekeeping and WMD search missions in iraq (both of the wars). he said that all the western news he saw about iraq were not accurate, on the ground it was different. al jazeera was good for iraq (obv the second one, it didn’t exist yet for the first one), channel news asia was also pretty accurate. if that’s the case, how much falsehood did we believe in the days when global south outlets like CNA, al jazeera etc didn’t exist yet?
The confidence! I appreciate. Wishes happy new year.
Brilliant conversation as always ❤

Great talk
Peoples power
I’m so inspired and admire by Vijay vision and thinking, I’m so shocked why all Indian don’t follow his vision.
Because we have security threat from China on our borders
Vijay is pretty naiive and sentimental. He doesn't see that the capitalists in the third world will always side with imperialism. Only socialist revolution, and internationalist working class rule, can break the chains of world imperialism.
But we have to use these capital holders to increase productivity and improvement in lifestyle
Vijay your remarkably decolonized perspectives greatly boost my lifelong journey of personal decolonization.
And internalizing merely one of your perspectives helps engender others in me, eg the notion of “The International Division of Humanity” has in turn, spawned a refutation of Western racialized categories like BIPOC.
As long as we submit to these sanitized acronyms, whose function is to perpetuate White Supremacy, we contribute to it.

Nice debate. Thanks
Enemies don't break the door, they crawl under the door like ants. Exactly

Everything he says its true , but the Chinese journalist is beautiful and hottt, I wish her long life🙏🙏

Why does Vijay and Tricontinental keep being so sceptical about BRICS? Why does Vijay only ask questions rather than suggesting answers?
vijay is a typical indian fast talker.
Thats why.
Possibly the most relevant question in the comments section - please be mindful that for BRICS to go beyond slogans, we must see that ambitions stem from domestic considerations, politics - and of course every country is looking to win more, whether it's economic advantage, geopolitcal agency, all to win domestic political and economic space. So "questions" continue to exist because aims are not solidified, consider the multiple bureaucracies competing with each other regarding the possible responses to Dollar weaponization - Questions do not exist in a vacuum, they do because of uncertainty.
@@tariquekhan1118 Judging by other interviews I have watched over the last 18 months with Vijay about BRICS I think that something else is going on with him and the Tricontinental Institute. For example, from Vijay's comments one would be forgiven for thinking that BRICS is just a talking shop when in fact it is very busy designing and building institutions in order to overcome the disadvantages that developing countries face in the current world order. But Vijay does even mention these efforts never mind analyzing or critiquing them.
Take the issue of the need for alternative media in the developing world that Vijay focused on in this CGTN interview. There is a BRICS Media Group which has an annual summit. As you can see from the last summit meeting last September in Russia it recognizes the same problem and is trying to address it: " The BRICS Media Summit will take place in Moscow on 13-17 September. The event will be attended by the heads of leading BRICS media entities, as well as media outlets from countries that have expressed interest in expanding cooperation with the group. The panel sessions will include discussions about the role of the BRICS media community in bolstering stability in a multipolar world, as well as technological aspects of information interaction between BRICS countries."
Vijay is a highly intelligent and experienced figure on the subjects covered by this Summit. Why did he not attend with suggestions for a way forward? For example, why can't we set up a pro BRICS media agency funded by BRICS members which could begin to rival western news agencies such as US-based Associated Press and UPI, UK-based Reuters and BBC, Agence France Press, Italy-based Inter Press Service etc. In addition to setting the record straight and providing propaganda-free reports, it could provide video footage from both sides of conflicts etc.
Similarly, we could create an alternative to TH-cam free of censorship, ads and other negative aspects that would become attractive to content creators and viewers alike.
Vijay is a highly creative and progressive personality, with a large audience and a well funded organization behind him. It is time he stopped commenting on BRICS from a distance and got stuck in with constructive proposals to overcome some of the shortfalls he highlights.
That how real leftist looks like, smart and moral person
Vijay giving us the gumption to say no to bullies. Multi polar has only benefited revenue not people. Even here we have to remind ourselves the Global South has to deal with previous colonisers, colonisers who behave like USA. Canada, UK, AUS and NZ are unoccupied countries. It is like an under current , the Anglo Saxons are kingpins and we the rest are third class. This results in unfair practices set by them even in revenue earning. Technology is giving the West the opportunity to control the Global South. Maybe each country has to guard their own telecom industry
Tou are spot on Vijay! Wiseman!

The one thing that Global South countries need to emulate China is the fight against corruption.
All elevators and lobbies of private corporations in Mexico feature BBC broadcasts. The Global South countries corporations should remain vigilant about potential propaganda and prioritize promoting independent media to shift people mindset.
Yes we are better than them well said our enemies dont beeak the door down they crawl like insects😂😂my new year principal point
In the name of youth, we pay tribute to the most magnificent cause of mankind😅
Go China News
Back to your own country and off of US social media.
Free speech.
Good interview
This is pure freaking propaganda no matter how hard they try to soften it. The hypocrisy in many of his answers is telling.

When India and Pakistan leaders resolve issues.
*The USA/collective Western plot is always the same.*
The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent.
*Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history.*
Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting?
*Different Empires. Different era. Same games...*
-------------------------------------
The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent.
_Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._
*Divide-and-rule.*
Oldest trick in the book...
Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games.
--------------------------------------
The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours.
*Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.*
Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit).
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war...
Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same golden hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side".
*In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet.
*And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences.
America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism.
Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide.
*Divide and Rule.*
Oldest trick in the book...
Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games.
THE LINK OF THE WORLD.
The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide.
Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances...
The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams
*War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
The world nee both currency, to keep a balance,.we all seen what happens whn one currency domenates,
Germany kept bugging China numerous times in 2024 with warnings of all sorts...are they getting stronger or weaker?
Why suit and tie? Mr. Prashad would you please explain?
he is like HTS leader in Syria.
THESE ARE INTERNATIONAL CHANNELS...,...😂
One day sovereignty jurisdiction and patriotism flags will be a thing of the past and our human species will look back and laugh at the whole thing and history books will will register it as pages of the age of personal ambitions.
Hyper imperialism is THE major threat to world unity . Each country / nation state, will find it's own path based on It's own cultures and traditions.. The model for development has been laid...removing 800,000+ from abject poverty...Infrastructure development, ,inc hospitals, schools, food and water security ,loan forgiveness, etc. The rest is fluff. A hand held out to help the least of us realize our own dreams without limitations by someone else is paramount. Any catalyst that allows for this vs colonialism is preferred. Too often academicians use the language of the colonizer to measure success. "Throw away the good , in pursuit of the perfect"...,Fortunately , the language of the new "mood" is to describe what is and it's effect on the populations and determine how to fix the shortcomings, rather than look through the prism of the shortcomings to declare the feasibility of human safety , security and contentment. The proof is in the pudding, and more of the countries of world is now beginning to eat just fine
Here's an answer.....Give back the "Bully"......what he gives.
It sounds like to me. People are getting hurt over an🍦 ice cream cone.🍰
Mr prasad a true indian high iq gentleman who deserves a lot more respect and media voice
China can broker a peace deal between India and Pakistan! Love and peace trumps hate and war.
I like these real truth from vijay
