🔴 Hilarious: Chinese Diplomat Lectures Dick Cheney on Politics | Syriana Analysis

right let's take that as a Point of Departure vice president chy I'm going to come to you with a a core question in respect of the whole of this our objective is to look at the world order in 2030 a decade out none of us are prophets none of us can see with certainty at best through a glass Darkly but the key question it seems on the basis of all of the discussions at this forum and many discussions outside of it are whether it is likely that Washington and Beijing will find a collective understanding of what a rules-based international order might look like in the future everyone knows here you know better than most that the rules-based international order by which we've lived since 1945 was crafted largely under the influence of the United States at Breton woods and subsequently at San Francisco and shaped the world all the way up to 1991 and the administration of which you were a major part shaped to a significant degree the world order post 1991 we're now at a point where tectonic plates have moved the world is not what it was in either of the periods that I've described China is rising Graeme Allison has written about the FUSD trap in this particular regard what's your view on it you you've lived through enough periods you weren't quite there with Dean Aton but very close to it present at the creation what is your view about whether or not the two major Powers will in fact be able to find one another and craft something which serves the vital interests of the United States on the one hand accommodates China on the other and secures peace and stability in the World At Large well that's an easy easy I thought he was that's why I gave it to I uh what I'd like to do I have a friend who's uh used to work for me in the the policy area was given a lot of thought to China and Asia focused on it but he wrote something recently that I think sort of captures the perspective of a lot of Americans about what's happening it's not necessarily official policy in that sense but it's U uh I think it is an effect effective way for those who want understand what the concerns are um this is a a fairly brief statement that I think uh uh my friend may not agree with but it'll tell what uh what many Americans are thinking since the end of the Cold War uh US economic policy towards China has been premised on the assumption that expanding trade and investment would have beneficial effects both on China's external behavior and on the evolution of its uh domestic economic and political institutions there it be political change that would follow the economic change that country's deepening relationship with the United States and its broader integration into the global economy would it was hoped uh give it a stake in stability and encourage it to see itself as a responsible stakeholder in the existing International System as its economy developed China would move away from State directed planning and uh Place greater Reliance on Market mechanisms finally as had happened earlier in Europe and other parts of Asia so too in China economic growth and the emergence of a new middle class would give rise to IR resistible pressure for liberalizing political reforms um that was the expectation as has become increasingly clear in recent years these expectations have not been borne out nor are they likely to anytime soon to the contrary the uh prevailing Trends now appear to be running strongly in the opposite direction China has grown richer to be sure by some estimates the total size of its economy will soon exceed that of the United States far from liberalizing and relaxing its grip however in the past decade the uh regime in Beijing has become more repressive and more militantly nationalistic instead of uh evolving into a mellow satisfied status quo of power China has grown uh more assertive and is using its increasing economic cloud and military power to challenge key aspects of the prevailing Regional system in the larger International order meanwhile instead of a steadily increasing Reliance on Market forces the Chinese party state has continued and in certain respects expanded its use of Quai mercantilist policy tools uh in effect there's the I say the bottom line is that we had hopes for political evolution in China uh both in terms of how they operated internationally as well as domestically uh but those hopes have not been realized in spite of the significant economic change that we've all observed and welcome leing I'm going to to come to you you in a certain sense for a response but if I may I'd like to frame it in terms of something that uh chi jingping has articulated in the past and something that I heard from Wang Kian in uh guong last week when China was preparing for the G20 conference in 2016 in guanga Chi Jinping articulated what has become known in the west as the four eyes and it is in a certain sense a response um to what dick jany has just said now the strategy that he articulated was innovate for growth this is in respect to the global economy improve global economic and financial governance construct an open interconnected World economy and Advance inclusive inclusive development by implementing the 2030 agenda now that was what he articulated as the agenda for the G20 conference in 2016 what wangan said last week in in guano was that the logical objective of progress going forward was to focus on a philosophy of shared benefits which he described as a search for the common good through Harmony without uniformity what I'm getting at is the rhetoric and the behavior is not always consistent in respect of this and the question is whether you accept the inevitability of a confrontation or whether within the parameters of your reference to the UN Charter and to the two statements that I've cited from jingping and wuan whether you believe that we can find we can construct a common future for all of mankind thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer or to to to respond to the comment by the former vice president of the world super power the US please believe me me China will never learn from a world superpower China will never try to be honic just now you use the word and some other words and that's had nothing to do with the truth you are talking about the China's new China's nationalism I don't know where do you learn that maybe from some American biased journalists but they are great politician you're not you are not a biased journalist sir so excuse me from being so candid China according to president C P's idea will always have the people at the center we always believe in the principle of the people first the people meaning not only the Chinese people but also the people of the World At Large in in in 2013 president when ping a state visit to a neighboring country he propos For the First Time The build the building of the one bar one road idea and the pr method of building this great idea is to learn from each other to cooperate in the principle of peaceful coexistence and to benefit the resource of the building up of the w b to Wi Road China will never try to be like a super power like the United States of America and I hope our American friends will also know the basic or very simple principle that is history is the best teacher according to what what I learned from American professors at the University America of the northern northern American continent used to be a colony of the UK of the British Empire and the American people suffered a lot that's why there was the re the independence war in 17 76 I I suppose some American politicians have forgotten their own history now there are people are talking a lot about the tra the trade war between the US and China they forgot about the trade war with the former rulers the the British colonialists you forgot what happened in 1776 in Boston you forgot about incident of the te pouring event and that thing led to the independence war and after 8 years of fighting America came into being in 1783 so America has such a history that's why you developed the first you developed so fast later on in China we have a seeing which is I believe a truth that is a poor a child from a poor family could go far could do a lot could be successful American you have your forefathers to be ruled to be exploited to be bullied by the Western European coronaries so after you got independence you developed so fast you had so many so many inventions and so on and so forth and however the what what the p is when you became the number one economy the number one military power you became a student a learner of your former where our boss the British you want to put the others in 1900 you joined the other Western imperialist to Ru to invad China in the 1950s America took the lead to invate the Korean Peninsula and you made a lot lot of trouble in the Middle East and around Arab world you try to Su discard among peace living countries and you didn't keep your promise talking about us China relations I was quite happy to thank you for me for you to give me the chance remember sir 1972 was still not too far away on the last day February the 28th 1972 the first joint communic between our two countries was establ was announced in Shanghai according to that commun we simply call it the Shanghai joint communic between China and America the essential sentence in that document is that the Americans government finds that the people the Chinese people on the two sides of the tan streets all believe there is only one China all believe that there is tan is part of China the American government does not challenge this position this is a very important sentence in the first joint communic between our two countries but uh I'm Afra sir have you ever read that have you ever read it I suspect he has many politicians of America ready but they forgot it and you they don't keep their promise they betr their forefathers promise as they continued to interfere into CH internal affairs on the tan question for instance you wanted a Ste to to Ser weapon to Taiwan for what is a Taiwan state a city a village of the United States no Taiwan is China Taiwan just about Hong Kong too Hong Kong is China Hong Kong but Europe Parliament even pass a so-called well act bill to interfere to talk at random about our Hong Kong matters this is ridiculous this only only damage the image of America in front of the world people so if thank thank you for understanding me my candidness I want to be to be candidate I learned this from my American teachers and my British professors if you want to a good person you have to be candidate so for for the future I only hope we remember one of the rulers of e EU told us we have to start our future from today not from tomorrow I hope all the American politicians will realize the serious and the stupid mistake they already have committed so that to to do something good for the US people as well for people of other countries including Arab countries indeed thank you well as as uh as we've said it was a candid Exchange [Applause] it was a candid exchange I think it's delineated very clearly the challenges that we face in respect of the issue going forward and I've got a feeling that what we ought to do is to take these two grand stalwarts of respectively Chinese and US history and make them the primary negotiators in terms of crafting the New Order because with this level of directness and openness and frankness I suspect we can get things onto a better path thank you very much both I think it was a splendid exchange and thank you both for your directness and and forcefulness one one of the problems about these discussions of Chinese us relationships is enormous amounts are usually swept under the rug so your forthright statement from your friend and uh the equally forthright response I think has brought a great deal of color and value to this [Applause]
