As a Chinese, I'm astonished by the ignorance but I appreciate his creativity in "history making". This man is fabricating stories out of nowhere, to understand China, you need to understand its geography and then its history, and its people. This man understands nothing of them. He just pulling all pieces of limited knowledge he could find on Google together and regurgitate them to the elderly nationalistic audiences, and telling them things like "one child policy is to control the population of peasants so they cannot rebel", that is the funniest thing I've ever heard from a China bashing story.
In fact the the difference between Finnish and French should compare more to Turk and French. Finnish is Uralic while French is Indo-European. Different language families.
with experts like this. How can you get anything right? I don't know about Russia, but he's definitely had most things wrong with China. I speak Cantonese and Mandarin and it's not as different as English and French.
It's just war propaganda. He advocates for American war space missile weapons. I also love how he mentions out the native Americans during the American expansion westward and their genocide. Also no mention of Hawaii either
The CCP is not militarizing the South China sea out of any fear of Taiwan. China needs to control the South China sea because virtually it's entire economy is based on sea trade lanes which are dominated by their rival - the US. This is also why China is pursuing it's silk road initiatives - to open alternative trade routes that don't go through the naval bottleneck.
Well said! But telling war monger neocons that and expecting them to understand it is a different thing. They just want an ever-expanding military budget. Repairing our crumbling roads and bridges, helping out homeless people, reducing corruption, reducing air pollution, health insurance for all Americans, etc; they can all wait a few more decades. By then we can blame the liberals or whoever else is available.

Many years ago, there was a TV commercial about contraceptives by a lady, whose line goes like this, ".... Now, I am older and 'wiser', ...." One would reckon what she said makes sense.

OMG this guy knows nothing about China & Russia. He is just expressing his biased opinions and there is little to no factual understanding of anything. He's knowledge base is based on 30 years old "novels" and a very Anglo-centric view of the world. The problem is the world is changing very quickly and is moving into a more Asia-centric period. Keep thinking like this guy, the USA will definitely get left behind. it's not China or Russia that the USA need to worry about. Right now it's the lack of long term thinking and leadership in the USA that is the main problem (e.g. education, future planning (IR 4.0) & ...). He is probably playing to the audiences as well. Looks like they are mostly retired people and many of them still have the old cold war thinking. The reality is, right now most average Americans see most things as threats and the average Chinese see most things as opportunities. America, China & Russia at this point in time are like the British, America & Germany in the 1930s. I'll let you work out what this comparison means.
Stating your dogma does nothing to enlighten us. And you seem to know nothing of U.S. history. The United States has worried for 100 years that it was falling behind. China is in many respects in the same boat as the Soviets. No accountability, terrible corruption, and a fantastically bloated state industry that responds to no market corrections.
I disagree with you. He said that the US need to invest in key industries. It’s not just the US, the EU needs to have an internal R&D budget in terms of new technologies such as but not limited to Artificial Intelligence, develop new technologies to create new sources of energy and to move away from the petrol industry. Atm the EU imports 55% of its energy needs.
The Chinese not only ordinary ppl who can afford their child study overseas but also ppl with power they tend to prefer sending their children to study abroad especially the US and British famous universities other than sending their children to local universities. There is a Chinese saying says the foreign moon is more rounded, you can see how much majority of the Chinese verbally say they love their country but in deeds they love the western education!
Neocons know only one thing: Submission through Subservience. During Nixon era it was "Peace through Strength" but now it is "My way or the Highway!" I know one thing; peace is not absence of hostility.
There are a lot of misinformation by the speaker. Not worth my while to listen. Cantonese and Mandarin maybe different in speech but not in written form.
Mandarin and Cantonse are diferent spoken languages, but they have the same writting. Some people say Chinese is a writting language, China was unitied by writting. Chinese is a ideographic writting system unlike the phonetic latin system. Europe was divided by writting, once vernacular languages started to be used by the educated elites.
That’s exactly the belt and road initiatives’ intention to expand worldwide! By engaging countries into the infrastructure building programs, economically these countries will be dependent on China and later come with their exceptional ideology, if that success, there won’t be any western values!
It's not hate. He admires China accomplishments & it's tradition & culture. He explains, how lots of standard Chinese negative common knowledge is just not correct.
...he and the rest of Neocons hate China because your people and their leaders do not capitulate to the will of US. Your nation has accomplished in 30 years what no other nation in human history has been able to do in such a short time. They are envious. If China would become just another vassal like Japan or N. Korea then that's all they want!
Exactly the same reason they despised Japan during the 80s when Japan was about to overtake the US in economic output. Several congressmen went out and literally destroyed Toyotas outside the white house

David Goldman is better than most so called “ China Experts”, although he is either wrong or goes shallow on some topics like one child policy etc. But over all he is better than most. He has some real experience.
He says that China will fight over the S. China Sea so that Taiwan will be filled with caution. But yet China did not go to war over Hong Kong. It seems more sensible that China be peaceable regarding an issue they ginned up...the S. China Sea, but go to war over Hong Kong where their ownership has been long-standing.
keff that wasn’t the USA. The USA did not exist. And where do you get 30 million dead? The Spanish slaughtered the First Nations in South America, but North America was far more complex. Most of the First Nations deaths in NA were due to diseases, not fighting.
@@ytyt3922 So you telling me the peoples of Seminoles, Lakota tribes, Blackfoot, Navajo, Apache, Comanche, Cheyanne, and various other tribes died away was not a result of US expansion westwards towards California? Heck California, Texas, Florida once belonged to the Spaniards and the US just continued the same devastation after the Spanish.
This presentation has painted a picture of Chinese superiority in final analysis. A perfect assimilation of talent with the resulting development of an unbeatable monolithic government. Unfortunately, not enough details and clarifications given that would allow, many less knowledgeable persons, an ability to draw clear distinctions of how China can survive. Thanks, for providing a little information concerning the inevitable decline of China due to well known demographics.
this guy may be ignorant about Chinese culture, but I don't see the critics (PLA trolls)here commenting on the technological issues he addressed. WE don't CARE what flavor of dog meat EACH Chinese province prefers , we DO carethat their government is following in the footsteps of Stalinist Soviet Union .
Virian Bouze, I wish there was room to enjoy anything that was said. The Neocons of America are dead serious about what spews out of their mouths. When they talked about peace they used to mean absence of hostility. Then during Nixon years it became "Peace through Strength." As of 2017 UN General Assembly meeting it became: "My way or the Highway." What they now say is: Submission through Subservience." They mean every word of it. How can any nation feel good with this kind of attitude? Remember Bush's "Axis of Evil?" They must have been talking about themselves and the like-minded fascists.
All audiences in that room are old people. I bet more Chinese young people watched this speech than US. This is the reason why US is failing, no way to turning back.
I think I can also be a China expert by reading all the crap on the Internet on China. At least I will not make the same mistake as the other China expert, Gordon Guthrie Chang who wrote the "The Coming Collapse of China", 2001 !
that's an interesting and valuable insight from Mr. Goldman. especially his remarks on Iran and other Islamic countries are unusual as generally we expect that islamic countries will develop in near future.
"This lecture was given as part of the April 2018 National Leadership Seminar..." It's a two-day event. Next one is in April, at a Colorado resort. (Tickets still available. ;-) )
43:17 Oops! I remember at school, it was always the most arrogant people who studied economics, which goes to explain why their predictions are usually garbage.
I don’t know whether this guy learnt anything about Chinese culture. Certainly he doesn’t deserve my respect. What an ignorant and bigotry talk. Well done! Keep ignoring and feeling more superior and what a shame he doesn’t probably read or write chinese let alone knowing any history of it. I feel so sorry to hear such baseless and speculative speech from a top US intellectual.
WTF, Cantonese is just a different accent,it shares the same writing system with Mandrin.Same differece like American saying English and British saying english. understand?the characters are same.just sound a little bit different.
It very easy to turn a comunist into a fascist as voting records in Germany in 1932, 1933 shows, comunist and nazis were fighting for the same electoral clientele. Despite the egalitarian goals of comunism that are not shares by fascists, they are both authoritarians that price the state over the individual. So once the left wing egalitarism of comunist dies, you end up with a fascist.
Infrastructure can be built. Back to the 80s in the beginning of the opening up, China was like India now, by becoming a manufacturing base to the world and practised not fair trade deal as a developing country has earned huge foreign currency for China, that’s how they have money to build infrastructures. This formula India can do the same with its huge population bonus!
Some things agree, but many things I do not. I don't think this guy even reads Chinese. If he can read all the historical text in the thousands of books of the Kangxi encyclopedia, then come back and lecture. Most of this stuff is anecdotal coming from secondary or tertiary sources. I think Joseph Needham has more authority to lecture about Chinese history than this guy does. At least Needham spent most of his life living in China, reading the old historical documents. This guy was an ex-banker living in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is only a small portion of China. His experience may differ from the rest and other parts of China of the interior. It's like me having hearing a few stories from my Jewish friends and give a lecture about the entirety of Jewish history and civilization. He can fool the old senile elderly folks in that room, but not the literati gentry.
"American ingenuity and science" You mean, how a large percentage of Americans believe the Earth is flat? Sorry to tell you this, but the days of America being the best country in the world are over.
The tone of his voice said a lot, seldom have I heard such disdain from someone when talking about other countries. And very little of academic level, the choice of words was sloppy, to say the least. Beijing fears the Uygurs, sure, FEAR of a tiny minority in a sea of Chinese Han. They might be concerned but fear no. They have no real reason to, its not that the whole of that minority is up in arms. This level of presentation, too bad, I came to listen to something informative.
David Goldman. having this sort of man acting as an China expert, talking absolute rubbish about China, this led to the Americans or a generation of Americans that will never understand China and Chinese people. Do you need 7 years of education to read Chinese books ? Absolutely not. I was able to read 120 chapter of Romance of Three Kingdom as an 8 years old barely 2nd year into my primary school education.
David Goodman frequently in trying to put his points across to a largely white and old audience simplified things too much. To the point he loses credibility.
Very disappointed to hear his ignorance about China and Hong Kong and the people there. He just pretends to be an expert but he actually knows just something about them and expands them to his own truths which are pathetic.
There's a different set of curses and hate if you have a Jewish name or are known to be Jewish. Notice they call him "global" this that etc. on the hate comments, if he wern't Jewish there would be different comments if any hate at all.
This is just a historical reminder and has no pejorative religious value! There was a slogan during Nixon years and in relation to Vietnam War. I believe it was attributed to Henry Kissinger. "Peace through Strength." After the Gulf war George H.W. Bush said: "What we say goes!" The new occupant of the White House threatened a Sovereign Member of the United Nation, while addressing the General Assembly of the UN, with "Fire and Fury" and total annihilation in 2017. And now the rhetoric of the neocons is nothing less than "Submission through Subservience." Now, forgive me for reminding you that Mr. Henry Kissinger has come to the White House several times to discuss matters of geopolitical importance with the President and was videoed with President by the media. Mr. Kissinger and Wolfowitz and Bolton are proponents of the new view of the world as expressed by the Neoconservative ideology . I am sure the religious affiliation of the first two consultants to the President is coincidental but you must admit that it is highly unlikely that it is a simple coincidence with only pure ideological view of the world. I'd like to think well of people but I am reminded routinely that "Bears relieve the.selves in the woods!"
The US racial divisions are far greater than the Han Chinese provincial divisions. Han Chinese provincial divisions take about a week to resolve when put in the same room. Han Chinese look exactly the same, they are genetically the same, their Confucian values are exactly the same and the goal, intelligence and social values are the same. US Racial divisions haven’t been solvable in 400 years. Because none of the things I listed are the same. China has been around for 4,000 years. It will outlast the US for sure. Bet on it.

"American ingenuity and science" You mean, how a large percentage of Americans believe the Earth is flat? Sorry to tell you this, but the days of America being the best country in the world are over.
The tone of his voice said a lot, seldom have I heard such disdain from someone when talking about other countries. And very little of academic level, the choice of words was sloppy, to say the least. Beijing fears the Uygurs, sure, FEAR of a tiny minority in a sea of Chinese Han. They might be concerned but fear no. They have no real reason to, its not that the whole of that minority is up in arms. This level of presentation, too bad, I came to listen to something informative.
If one were to trust his approach to save the US, one would rather go along with Navarro. This dude doesn't know what he was talking about. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
David Goldman. having this sort of man acting as an China expert, talking absolute rubbish about China, this led to the Americans or a generation of Americans that will never understand China and Chinese people. Do you need 7 years of education to read Chinese books ? Absolutely not. I was able to read 120 chapter of Romance of Three Kingdom as an 8 years old barely 2nd year into my primary school education.
DARPA is not a pure blessing.
What a load of nonsense
David Goodman frequently in trying to put his points across to a largely white and old audience simplified things too much. To the point he loses credibility.
Very disappointed to hear his ignorance about China and Hong Kong and the people there. He just pretends to be an expert but he actually knows just something about them and expands them to his own truths which are pathetic.
Hows the troll farm
There's a different set of curses and hate if you have a Jewish name or are known to be Jewish. Notice they call him "global" this that etc. on the hate comments, if he wern't Jewish there would be different comments if any hate at all.
This is just a historical reminder and has no pejorative religious value! There was a slogan during Nixon years and in relation to Vietnam War. I believe it was attributed to Henry Kissinger. "Peace through Strength." After the Gulf war George H.W. Bush said: "What we say goes!"
The new occupant of the White House threatened a Sovereign Member of the United Nation, while addressing the General Assembly of the UN, with "Fire and Fury" and total annihilation in 2017. And now the rhetoric of the neocons is nothing less than "Submission through Subservience." Now, forgive me for reminding you that Mr. Henry Kissinger has come to the White House several times to discuss matters of geopolitical importance with the President and was videoed with President by the media. Mr. Kissinger and Wolfowitz and Bolton are proponents of the new view of the world as expressed by the Neoconservative ideology .
I am sure the religious affiliation of the first two consultants to the President is coincidental but you must admit that it is highly unlikely that it is a simple coincidence with only pure ideological view of the world. I'd like to think well of people but I am reminded routinely that "Bears relieve the.selves in the woods!"
How do you know he's Jewish?
“Russia is driven by fear” - yeah right lest cue in with some amateur psychoanalysis for the entire nation of 140 mln
This guy is talking nonsense, no truth but lie

The US racial divisions are far greater than the Han Chinese provincial divisions. Han Chinese provincial divisions take about a week to resolve when put in the same room. Han Chinese look exactly the same, they are genetically the same, their Confucian values are exactly the same and the goal, intelligence and social values are the same. US Racial divisions haven’t been solvable in 400 years. Because none of the things I listed are the same. China has been around for 4,000 years. It will outlast the US for sure. Bet on it.
MAI WARJABI Why do you think Western pharmaceuticals all do trials in China or South Korea and not India?? Because the genetics are the same in China and Korea. DNA doesn’t lie.
A LOT OF TROLLS‼️😂. What could they POSSIBLY BE AFRAID OF⁉️. Maybe the TRUTH as presented here‼️😡
This biased retoric is obvious-do some research and learn a bit of "reality" and stop living completely in the past! Jeez!
Bully
Not worth listening to.
This person has no clue what is going on. Lost of time for me to watch.
Hows the troll farm
This professor is a joke.
