1
Alrighty folks, today we're going to talk about how the United States
حسنًا أيها الأصدقاء، اليوم سنتحدث عن كيف أن الولايات المتحدة
2
and China ended up in the situation that we currently find ourselves, where China is supposedly a rising power with this burgeoning global economy,
3
and how they went from a backwater into the chief geopolitical enemy of the United States.
4
So if you go back a couple of decades, we were told this comforting fairy tale about China.
5
We were told that if we welcomed China into the global economy, that if we invested in their factories and handed them our technology and opened our university and gave them capital
6
And if they, you know, integrated into that, rules -based international order.
7
That China would eventually become more like us.
8
It would become more democratic, more free.
9
It would follow the Soviet path.
10
It would open up economically, and then it would open up politically.
11
Some people were calling this approach constructive engagement.
12
Others were calling it democratic peace.
13
Again, the idea was sort of that if a McDonald's was in a country, then it would turn somehow non -authoritarian.
14
That prosperity would bring moderation, and that wealth would eventually bring about peace.
15
Well, not so much.
16
Not so much.
17
Communist Party never accepted the idea of American hegemony.
18
They viewed America as an enemy.
19
In fact, they viewed and view American might as a symbol of Chinese surrender and a form of national embarrassment.
20
America, creating what the economic historian Neil Ferguson has called Chimerica, was not actually welcomed by China in the name of peace or democracy or liberalism.
21
It was an opportunity that China could exploit.
22
China used its increased wealth to build the most sophisticated surveillance state in human history, expand military power, terrorize their own population, ingest populations like Hong Kong,
23
and unleash a novel coronavirus that shut down the world and killed several million people.
24
As we all saw during President Trump's latest visit to Beijing, the history of that relationship is still being written today.
25
But we should go back in time and figure out exactly how he got here.
26
So to answer that question, we have to go back about a century before Mao, before Nixon, before the Cold War, to a China that was weak and fractured and humiliated.
27
So before World War II, China was extremely impoverished, very unstable, definitely not a sort of unitary country.
28
And it was reeling from a century of what the CCP now calls an era of humiliation.
29
Dominant European powers that had carved up some territory.
30
Japan had invaded, taken over Manchuria.
31
Warlords fighting for control.
32
in the middle of China that was basically between Shanghai Sheck, who was the leader of the Nationalist Party, and the Chinese Communist Party led by Mao Zedong.
33
So Mao Zedong was a Western -educated elite who came back to China as a communist
34
and decided he was going to impose communism top -down by force.
35
Now, during World War II, Shanghai Sheck and Mao Zedong, they were supposed to get together and form a unified front against the Japanese.
36
They didn't do that.
37
Basically, Mao Zedong ran off into the wilderness with his buddies, Zetong watched all of that happen.
38
He had already been largely defeated by Chiang Kai -shek, so he was out in the hinterlands.
39
And then after World War II, the West decided that Mao had to be treated with care by Chiang Kai -shek.
40
And the United States backed Chiang during the fight against the Japanese.
41
But as conflict began to rise between Chiang and the Maoist communists, the United States and the West basically backed off and decided that Chiang couldn't win.
42
So Mao's communists eventually seized control of mainland China in 1949.
43
went over to Taiwan and the Taiwanese island became an independent government.
44
The United States basically accepted that.
45
This was called the loss of China by critics of Harry Truman.
46
The suggestion was that there should have been a harder push for Chang and against Mao under Truman's tutelage, which is probably true.
47
It's probably true, especially because China then proceeded to fund the communist takeover of North Korea and the invasion of South Korea.
48
China ended up obviously supporting the Viet Cong.
49
China was a nefarious communist force in the region for decades, and they continue to be a nefarious authoritarian force in the region today.
50
Meanwhile, inside China, Mao Zedong, having taken total control of the Chinese territory, decided it was time to kill several tens of millions of people.
51
See, here's the thing.
52
Mao is not just another authoritarian ruler.
53
He wasn't like Ceausescu in Romania or something.
54
He was one of the greatest mass murderers in all of human history.
55
Maybe the greatest mass murderer in all of human history.
56
It is astonishing that Mao is not treated with significantly more disdain than he has been treated.
57
It is still considered totally okay to carry around Mao's little red book which truly should be treated.
58
Like Mein Kampf in the public mind.
59
Mal is responsible for the death of legitimately somewhere between 30 and 60 million people.
60
After the Chinese Communist Party seized power in 1949, following that Chinese Civil War, Mao transformed China into a full -blown Marxist dictatorship.
61
It was modeled largely on the Soviet Union.
62
There were sort of Chinese characteristics that would later lead to conflict with the Soviet Union.
63
Private property was abolished.
64
Industry was nationalized.
65
Political dissent was totally crushed.
66
Religion was persecuted.
67
The press became totally state propaganda.
68
Millions of people were swallowed up by the machinery of communist terror.
69
That was just at the beginning.
70
And then about 10 years in, Mao decided it was time to modernize.
71
Just as Lenin and Stalin decided in the Soviet Union, that this meant heavy industry, Mao decided the same.
72
The problem, of course, is that China was a largely agrarian country.
73
And so Mao decided that it was time to centralize all property, and it was time for everyone to be forced into the future.
74
And when we say forced, I mean at point of gun, at point of starvation.
75
Mao told people, that because they had raw quotas of things like steel production, they should take their household implements and melt them down into lumps of useless iron.
76
The result was that between 1958 and 1962, Mao's regime was responsible for the deaths of somewhere between 30 and 45 million people.
77
That is not a typo.
78
Tens of millions of people starved to death because of communist central planning.
79
One of the worst catastrophes in all of human history, a man -made famine designed by the Maoist government.
80
It was a centrally planned economic campaign so catastrophically stupid that it triggered one of the deadliest famines in recorded human history.
81
Not because of the climate, not because there were problems with agriculture, but because of the collectivization.
82
Because he forced peasants at point of gun into giant communes,
83
and then again demanded absurd steel production quotas in farms that turned entire villages into useless backyard smelting operations.
84
Literally, people were taking their plows and melting them down to make lumps of ore.
85
We'll get to more on this in just one second.
86
First, have you ever had to buy a product online that comes with like one of those giant waiver forms?
87
You know, the one that you just scroll all the way to the bottom, just hit click.
88
Right.
89
Because are you kidding?
90
You're never going to read any of that ever, ever, ever, ever.
91
But the problem is that something goes wrong and you're now bound by that contract.
92
Well, this is one of the reasons I like what SuperSure does.
93
So say you're the owner or CFO or HR manager of a company with more than 25 employees, but you're probably not spending a lot of time to decipher the pages
94
and pages and reams of insurance language every time you have a question.
95
SuperSure is a super agency built specifically for growing businesses.
96
They're licensed in every They provide year -round support for you and your team at no additional cost.
97
One feature I particularly like is their fine print fax tool.
98
It translates your current policy into plain English, so you can actually understand what's covered, what's not covered, and where there may be gaps.
99
They also offer a business value calculator to help estimate what your business is worth, because it's hard to protect something if you don't understand what you've built.

paid for by Super Short Insurance Agency, LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
105
But Mao wasn't done.
106
In 1966, he launched the so -called Cultural Revolution.
107
Again, he was a devotee of the idea of perpetual revolution.
108
that the communist revolution could never cease.
109
The Cultural Revolution was a decade long campaign of ideological fanaticism and political terror designed to purge China of supposedly impure influences.
110
If you watch the beginning of the three body problem, there are a couple of scenes that are happening during the Cultural Revolution.
111
Students formed what were called red guard mobs, in which teachers were humiliated, beaten, sometimes killed in public.
112
Historical artifacts were destroyed.
113
Families were incentivized to turn on one another.
114
Intellectuals were sent to labor camps.
115
The CCP was not a normal government that liked communism.
116
It was an ideologically revolutionary regime that was built on murder and censorship and nationalism and total state control.
117
And that has not changed.
118
The thing that changed was that American elites convinced themselves that China had changed.
119
So, let's try to figure out why that happened.
120
Well, while Mao was running roughshod over China during this period, the United States was busy securing freedom of the seas, rebuilding Europe with the Marshall Plan,
121
and stationing troops across the rest of Asia to prevent the Communists from taking over.
122
By the 1960s, America had basically underwritten the entire security architecture of the free world.
123
Because the United States was so economically and militarily dominant, our foreign policy establishment came to believe
124
that hostile countries could gradually be folded into this rules based international world order through diplomacy and trade and cooperation.
125
I solemnly declare on behalf of the United States
126
that we are prepared to submit to any international inspection provided only that it is effective and truly reciprocal.
127
And then in the post -World War order, the idea was: that the United States could bring China along.
128
But the first sort of move, toward the Chinese, the first real move toward the Chinese, who were considered correctly our enemies, in Korea, in Vietnam.
129
The first move toward the Chinese came because Henry Kissinger, then Secretary of State, was trying to split the Chinese from the Soviets.
130
So over time, Mao had his own model of communism.
131
The Soviets had their model of communism, and they started to hate one another.
132
Mao was jealous of the Soviet system.
133
The Soviets wanted Mao to be less insane.
134
And so they started creating conflict between themselves.
135
Richard Nixon
136
and Henry Kissinger decided this was a great time to undercut
137
one of the pillars of the Eastern support for the Soviet Union.
138
So again, the logic wasn't nuts.
139
Nixon believed that if the United States could pry China away from the Soviet orbit, that that would weaken Moscow and strengthen America on the global stage.
140
This is why, famously, Nixon went to China.
141
Henry Kissinger in particular, the Secretary of State, viewed this through the lens of real politique.
142
The idea was that the United States could stabilize the international system by creating new powers to balance one another out.
143
Kissinger was a believer in a sort of global balance of power.
144
And so instead of directly confronting every single communist regime simultaneously, you use China to counterbalance the Soviet Union.
145
Now, this was successful.
146
It separated off, Mal, from the Soviet Union.
147
And that undercut a pillar of economic and military support for the Soviet Union.
148
And eventually, of course, the Soviet Union would fall.
149
But this also planted the seed of a stupid idea, which is that maybe communist China would moderate and become part of the rules -based international order.
150
By the late 60s, the Nixon administration was pursuing what became known as the open door policy.
151
As I have pointed out on a number of occasions over the past three years, There can be no stable and enduring peace.
152
without the participation, of the People's Republic of China.
153
and it's 750 million people.
154
Bye.
155
That is why I have undertaken initiatives in several areas.
156
to open the door.
157
for more normal relations.
158
between our two countries.
159
Again, The idea here was not that Richard Nixon was besties with Mao Tse -tung.
160
In fact, Nixon despised him.
161
But if the United States could seize on that Sino -Soviet split and isolate Moscow, It would strengthen its own position in the process.
162
So in 1972, Nixon goes to Beijing, Images of Nixon shaking hands have now stunned the world.
163
To many Americans, it felt like a new opening.
164
And for a while, it was kind of working.
165
Throughout the 70s and the 80s, the US and China maintained a cautious alignment against Moscow.
166
And it seemed like it was going to get even better.
167
After Mao Zedong's death, Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping opened China's economy even further.
168
Now, Deng did not liberalize China politically, but he welcomed foreign investment.
169
And that, of course, turned China into a manufacturing powerhouse.
170
And it appeared that maybe Deng was even going to allow some liberalization of politics.
171
Of course, all of that ended in 1989, when there was an actual student uprising against the Chinese regime.
172
And that is when tanks literally just ran students over in Tiananmen Square.
173
Still, the United States was hopeful.
174
When the Soviet Union fell in 1991, the U .S.'s regard for China shifted as well.
175
Slowly, that original Nixonian opening had been transformed into something really, really different.
176
A bipartisan, stupid belief that communist China could be permanently folded into a US -led world order.
177
Foreign policy experts on all sides, multinational corporations, who were looking for profit centers, businessmen, manufacturers, academia, the media, they all bought the same fantasy.
178
that if China became wealthier, China would become freer.
179
That was the central lie of that post -Cold War globalization.
180
No president accelerated that lie more than President Bill Clinton.
181
And American officials basically ignored that massacre of pro -democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square and continued to push for economic engagement.
182
And throughout the 1990s, as a result, China exploded.
183
They were engaging in essentially mercantilism, state -organized economic structures directed at foreign trade.
184
American corporations, meanwhile, realized that they could move their manufacturing overseas for cheaper.
185
That did lower prices.
186
It also moved manufacturing jobs outside the United States.
187
National security implications, however dire, were basically ignored.
188
And then came the biggest moment, China entering the World Trade Organization in 2001.
189
I believe the choice between economic rights and human rights, between economic security and national security, is a false one.
190
Now, Bill Clinton aggressively pushed for this.
191
Again, the theory was integrating China into global markets would liberalize the country politically.
192
It did not work out that way.
193
Nonetheless, it opened the United States to Chinese intervention.
194
American universities deepened their partnerships with China.
195
We started taking in huge numbers of foreign exchange students.
196
Our IP was stolen at a rapid rate.
197
American consumers became deeply dependent on Chinese supply chains.
198
Meanwhile, over in China, they were taking all of those...
199
gains, all those economic wins, and they were stacking those up behind an authoritarian regime.
200
The regime built the most sophisticated surveillance state in all of human history.
201
It expanded its military pressure throughout the South China Sea against states ranging from Taiwan to the Philippines.
202
It accelerated its cyber warfare and industrial scale intellectual property theft.
203
Some estimates suggest the Chinese IP theft costs the United States as much as $600 billion every single year.
204
Because again, internally, it is not that China has embraced free markets.
205
Not much.
206
They're basically an economically fascist system.
207
So that means they don't tend to innovate as well as the United States.
208
But they are very good at stealing things and then reverse engineering them.
209
America. was fleeced.
210
Again, this was the fundamental asymmetry.
211
We believed that economics would eventually override ideology.
212
Beijing never did.
213
They just took the money and they stacked it in their coffers, and then they used it to crack down on everybody else and victimize America's allies.
214
Over time, American national security hawks, particularly on the right, Again, warning, the United States was not simply trading with China anymore.
215
We're actually building a geopolitical competitor.
216
Part and parcel of this, by the way, is China buying up enormous amounts of American debt.
217
Truly astonishing, mind -boggling amounts of American debt.
218
It was very convenient for America's politicians to continue to run up our debt
219
when the Chinese were just buying it all up and stocking it and making us more dependent on them.
220
Nonetheless, conservatives began to argue that the CCP viewed economic interdependence not as a pathway to cooperation, but as leverage to be used later against the United States.
221
Again, the Chinese understood something that the West forgot.
222
Economic power is geopolitical power, and the Chinese state then used globalization to expand its influence abroad.
223
Again, foundational hostility toward the West.
224
They never stopped viewing the U .S as their chief enemy.
225
They never liberalized.
226
They never democratized.
227
They never became our friend.
228
Instead, they began using the money to spread their tentacles outward through things like the Belt
229
and Road Initiative by offering to kindly build ports all over the world under Chinese control.
230
Eventually, under Xi Jinping, China became more dramatically centralized, nationalistic, and openly adversarial toward the United States.
231
So it appeared before Xi that maybe, just maybe, there might be a little bit of liberalization, and Xi just shut that door tight.
232
Xi rose through the Communist Party apparatus as a committed nationalist and true believer in centralized control.
233
He was not the pragmatic reformer of Deng Xiaoping, who famously suggested that basically, if you could get the job done, how you got it done didn't matter.
234
Xi instead moved almost immediately to consolidate authority around himself personally.
235
He purged his rivals.
236
He tightened censorship.
237
He interned and killed Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang.
238
He expanded state control over the economy even further.
239
And as mentioned, he spread China's supposed values all over the world.
240
In 2013, China launched the so -called Belt and Road Initiative, which was basically a to build a lot of stuff in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America,
241
and finance it with debt.
242
Foreign governments would be indebted to Beijing, and then China would use that debt as a way to hold them accountable geopolitically.
243
While Barack Obama was particularly useful to the Chinese, His China policy was an apologetic continuation of that post -Cold War internationalist consensus.
244
The belief that if we just talked nicely to the Chinese, then magically they would moderate.
245
A cooperative relationship based on mutual interest and mutual respect is not only in the interests of the United States and China,
246
but is also in the interests of the region and in the interests of the United States, in the interests of the world.
247
Unsurprisingly, China took advantage and they accelerated many of those trends
248
that American hawks had been warning about for years because it turns out China never stopped.
249
Everything intensified.
250
Confucius Institutes, which were Chinese propaganda institutes, popped up across America.
251
Intellectual espionage heightened as Silicon Valley innovation exploded.
252
Militarized artificial islands in the South China Sea were being built despite diplomatic assurances otherwise.
253
Pro -democracy protests in Hong Kong were crushed.
254
Hong Kong was just eaten wholesale.
255
Anti -American dictatorships in Russia, Iran, North Korea, all made common cause under the banner of a new axis of global resistance.
256
In contrast, Barack Obama continued to push this elitist confidence in globalization and multilateralism and managed to decline.
257
Xi Jinping consolidated more power.
258
than any Chinese leader since Mao.
259
Matt Pottinger and Mike Gallagher have argued that China began positioning itself, not merely as an economic competitor, but a strategic challenger to the West.
260
Eventually people wised up, particularly Donald Trump.
261
Now, whatever else you think about President Trump, He totally upset the apple cart in a wonderful and necessary way here.
262
He was the first president in decades to fundamentally challenge that Nixonian -Clintonian assumption toward American policy on China.
263
Trump argued that we'd sold out to China.
264
that basically prior administrations had been dumped, underestimated the strategic risks posed by the CCP, and had allowed the United States to become overly dependent on Chinese manufacturing and supply chains.
265
So he imposed tariffs on Chinese goods.
266
He restricted Chinese access to sensitive tech.
267
He targeted companies like Huawei, which is their 5G network, which again, is rife with surveillance apparatus.
268
He pressured American allies to reconsider reliance on Chinese telecom, and he pushed for broader economic decoupling in strategically important sectors.
269
And more broadly, Trump reframed China not as a future partner, but as a geopolitical rival.
270
Because we can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing.
271
It's the greatest theft in the history of the world.
272
Now, his critics suggested that everything would have been hunky -dory if not for Trump.
273
But his supporters correctly argue that all of these policies were a long overdue recognition of geopolitical reality.
274
Increasingly, Trump won.
275
Democrats and Republicans understood that China was in fact our opponent if not our enemy.
276
One of the big shift moments was the COVID -19 pandemic.
277
When a novel coronavirus emerged pretty obviously from a Wuhan lab and then killed millions of people worldwide, devastating the global economy and shutting down daily life for the entire planet.
278
The modern world realized it couldn't depend on China.
279
Even after that outbreak, the CCP was lying.
280
They were punishing whistleblowers inside China while simultaneously sowing enormous social
281
and political discord inside the United States with TikTok's algorithmically engineered cultural brain rot.
282
Increasingly, large segments of the American left, people like Hassan Piker or Zoran Mondani, began to openly romanticize anti -Western authoritarianism altogether.
283
Piker went to China and talked about how wonderful it was.
284
Chinese nationals from all around this wonderful country.
285
It's very, very exciting and you can sense it, you can feel it in the air.
286
Mamdani treats the CCP as a decent country.
287
At the same time, China is building the largest military expansion since World War II.
288
They threaten Taiwan on a near daily basis.
289
They use slave labor, concentration camps, censorship, surveillance, fentanyl trafficking, cyber warfare, and economic coercion as instruments of statecraft.
290
So, no, China was never our friend.
291
It wasn't, and it still isn't.
292
The problem was that for 50 years, everyone refused to recognize that China was in fact our enemy.
293
Are they going to win?
294
Well, here's the thing.
295
China does suffer from some pretty serious structural vulnerabilities.
296
So their demographics are in serious trouble.
297
Their debt burden is enormous, over 300 % of GDP by some estimates.
298
Their economy is heavily dependent on exports and also state intervention, which means loans.
299
And those loans are coming.
300
from local and state actors.
301
So basically they're just pillaging their people.
302
Its real estate sector is massively unstable because essentially they just had their citizens.
303
They forced them to buy ghost apartments.
304
China increasingly resembles a declining power trying to stave off the darkness through IP theft and regional intimidation and a military buildup.
305
Historically, rising in security inside authoritarian regimes can make them more aggressive abroad.
306
And that brings us to Taiwan.
307
So Taiwan is not merely a regional territorial dispute.
308
As you recall, Taiwan was a part of China Shanghai Shack ended up there and founded the modern nation state of Taiwan.
309
Now, Taiwan's history is long and complex.
310
At times, it was independent.
311
At times, it was occupied for literally decades by the Japanese.
312
The reason it is geopolitically important is because Taiwan sits at the center of the global semiconductor economy.
313
Roughly 90 percent of advanced semiconductor manufacturing comes from Taiwan.
314
If China successfully seized Taiwan, the geopolitical consequences would be disastrous.
315
American allies would question our credibility, and more importantly, if they got a hold of those chips, suddenly the balance of power in the entire Indo -Pacific would shift toward China.
316
This is why deterrence matters.
317
And this is why American leadership, peace through strength, continues to matter.
318
Bottom line is this.
319
Weakness invites aggression, it always has.
320
Strength deters it.
321
And for a regime, that censors speech and operates mass surveillance systems and threaten its democratic neighbors, and steals technology and supports hostile authoritarian governments all over the world,
322
and facilitates fentanyl precursor flows into the Western Hemisphere, and openly seeks America's destruction, that is not just another trading partner.
323
It is a strategic enemy.
324
We should treat it as such.
325

نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 25 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل they're, wasn't, you're. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “th”: authoritarian /əˌθɑ.ɹəˈtɛɹ.i.ən/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/, nonetheless /ˌnʌnðəˈlɛs/
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: globalization /ˌɡloʊ.bə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, censorship /ˈsɛnsɚʃɪp/, astonish /əˈstɑnɪʃ/, nationalist /ˈnæʃ.ə.nə.lɪst/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: authoritarian /əˌθɑ.ɹəˈtɛɹ.i.ən/, globalization /ˌɡloʊ.bə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, accelerate /ɪkˈsɛl.əˌɹeɪt/, economically /ˌiː.kəˈnɒm.ɪ.kli/, coronavirus /kəˈɹoʊnəˌvaɪɹəs/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: censorship /ˈsɛnsɚʃɪp/, lump /lʌmp/, apparatus /ˌæp.əˈɹeɪ.təs/, explode /ɪkˈsploʊd/, competitor /kəmˈpɛt.ɪ.tɚ/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: coronavirus /kəˈɹoʊnəˌvaɪɹəs/, believer /bɪˈlivɚ/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: globalization /ˌɡloʊ.bə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, centralize /ˈsɛntɹəlaɪz/, humiliate /hjuːˈmɪliˌeɪt/, quota /ˈkwəʊ.tə/, lump /lʌmp/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ابدأ بسرعة 0.75×، وردّد جملة جملة، ثم عُد إلى السرعة العادية عندما يصبح الأمر سهلًا.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل authoritarian, communism, accelerate.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
