Professor, you said a lot of wonderful things about China, and surely they're doing a lot of things right.
But how do you reconcile the fact that to make it work for China, it seems to be based on a high level of repression?
Environmental destruction, censorship, a certain ideological stubbornness.
I mean, we've spoken about Hong Kong, the Uighurs.
How do you reconcile that, and do you think that's tolerable?
Thank you. I'm really glad you asked that question, because your question captured very well the Anglo-Saxon media's perception of China.
And I would suggest to you, very bluntly, that it's a distorted perspective of reality.
Let's take the first word you use, repression.
If the Communist Party of China only relied on repression to stay in power, it would not create the most dynamic economy in the world, right?
It is by far the most dynamic economy in the world.
It has delivered the fastest growing economy for 30 years.
And it has done this by educating the Chinese people to a level and extent that the Chinese people have never been educated ever before.
And you say it's repression? You obviously are taking the old Cold War mindset.
I was in Moscow in 1976, and I saw repression in Moscow.
And when I was in Moscow, the Soviet citizens were not allowed to travel outside the Soviet Union. That's repression.
In the year 2019, 139 million Chinese left China freely.
Guess what? Zero defectors. 139 million Chinese, right?
That's twice the population of the UK, went back to China.
So all your description, when you say environmental degradation,
China's climate change policies are far more responsible than those of the United States,
which has not once, but twice withdrawn from global environmental protocols.
Kyoto Protocol, the Bush administration left eight years.
Paris Accords, Trump administration left four years.
And you know what? The reason why we're having climate change today is not because of new flows of greenhouse gas emissions from China and India.
It's because of what the Western countries have put in the atmosphere since the Western Industrial Revolution.
Get the data. The single largest contributor, cumulatively, right?
It's number one, United States, number two, Europe, number three, China, right?
And the West wants China to pay an economic price for the current flows,
but the West doesn't want to pay an economic price for what it put in the atmosphere.
You want to deprive the Indians of electricity when the United States could just, by the way,
if the United States could impose a dollar a gallon tax, that would save the world.
Cut down gasoline consumption, raise money for investment in green technology, simple solutions.
And by contrast, the largest reforestation program in the world is carried out by China.
It has already reforested an area the size of Belgium or bigger, right?
So all your descriptions capture the natural distortions of China that you get in the Anglo-Saxon media,
which violate the rules of the Enlightenment, which say that you must be rational, calm and objective,
especially in understanding your adversary.
And if the Chinese were as stupid and as incompetent as you describe them to be, don't worry about them.
But I can assure you, you are now dealing with a far more intelligent and rational actor
that doesn't fit any of the Anglo-Saxon categories that you applied to them.
Please forgive my bluntness.

  • We're the ones provoking this war, just like we provoked the war in Ukraine. We are now provoking a war with China and who benefits? I'll tell you right now, your enemy is not China. Your enemy is not Russia. Your enemy is the military industrial complex, which has been fleecing this country to the tunes of hundreds of billions and trillions of dollars. How many times are we going to have a defense secretary say, hey, we can't account for $2 trillion in the Pentagon again, which has happened twice now in my life. So again, people are being the war machine cannot be stopped. Who's running this country? The war machine. It certainly isn't Joe Biden making these decisions. I would like to know who is making the decisions. And I just want to remind everybody, the United States is the world's terrorists. We just set the Middle East on fire in the last 20 years. And now we're doing a proxy war in Ukraine, which we provoked, NATO provoked, and it was just admitted that we provoked it by the former prime minister of Germany. And now we're trying to save a writer with with China and they're predicting a war. Again, China's not going to invade us. China's not our enemy. We might have an economic war. That's what these are. These are economic wars. These are wars for in Ukraine. It's about liquefied natural gas and making sure Germany and Russia never come together because we fear Russia's natural resources and manpower. And we fear them getting together with Germany with their technology and their capital. And so that's why we blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. That's why we're doing the Ukraine war. This is all about hegemony, imperialism and economics. And if there's a marine somewhere, it's there because they're about to steal some natural resources from another country. As everybody's screaming about what a bad guy Putin is for invading Ukraine, the United States is currently occupying a third of Syria. And which third is that? It's the third that has the oil. And how do I know we're there to steal their oil? Because the president of the United States said so.

  • Oh, we like war. We like war. We're a war-like people. We like war because we're good at it. You know why we're good at it? Because we get a lot of practice. This country's only 200 years old and already we've had 10 major wars. We average a major war every 20 years in this country, so we're good at it. And it's a good thing we are. We're not very good at anything else anymore. Can't build a decent car. Can't make a TV set or a VCR. What the fuck? Got no steel industry left. Can't educate our young people. Can't get health care to our old people. But we can bomb the shit out of your country, all right? We can bomb the shit out of your country, all right? Especially if your country is full of brown people. Oh, we like that, don't we? That's our hobby. That's our new job in the world, bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya. You've got some brown people in your country. Tell them to watch the fuck out. Or we'll goddamn bomb them. But when's the last white people you can remember that we bombed? Can you remember the last white? Can you remember any white people we've ever bombed? The Germans. Those are the only ones. And that's only because they were trying to cut in on our action. They wanted to dominate the world. Bullshit. That's our fucking job. Think of how we started. Think of that. This country was founded by a group of slave owners who told us all men are created equal. Oh yeah. All men. Except for Indians and niggers and women, right? Always like to use that authentic American language. This was a small group of unelected white male land-holding slave owners who also suggested their class be the only one allowed to vote. Now that is what's known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit. I think Americans really show their ignorance when they say they want their politicians to be honest. What are these fucking cretins talking about? If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse. No one would know what to do. Honesty would fuck this country up. And I think deep down Americans know that. That's why they elected and re-elected Bill Clinton. That's why. Because the American people like their bullshit right out front where they can get a good strong whiff of it. Clinton might be full of shit, but at least he lets you know it. Dole tried to hide it, didn't he? Dole kept saying, I'm a plain and honest man. Bullshit. People don't believe that. What did Clinton say? He said, hi folks, I'm completely full of shit, and how do you like that? And the people said, you know something, at least he's honest.

  • didn't stop transmission, I'm here to talk about how unsafe the vaccines are. I want to explain why and I want to go through the biochemistry. Most vaccines, for example, the COVID virus has 29 proteins in it. Normally, if you de-attenuated a vaccine, you gave someone a de-attenuated vaccine. The other thing is, because that molecule is still quite large, it's 28 molecules remaining in a normal de-attenuated vaccine. It is too big to cross the endothelium. What is the endothelium? It is the small capillary between your muscle tissues, the bloodstream. What this particular vaccine does is it delivers a lipid nanoparticle. It is a very tiny particle, much smaller by a factor of 1,000 than a normal virus. What that means is it can travel from the tissue through the endothelium into your bloodstream. About half of the vaccine and the lipid nanoparticles go into organs other than the injection site. This is despite the fact that we were told that a normal vaccine goes into your deltoid muscle and that's where it stays. Well, that's not the case with this particular vaccine. What's particularly scary about this is they knew this in the animal trials, and despite the fact that the concentration was still increasing after 48 hours, you know what they did? They stopped the trial. They stopped the trial. Now, don't you think you would run the trial right through to the point of where the lipid nanoparticles had left the body? But they didn't do that.

  • Donald Trump had a rough week. His beautiful economy crashed because some dum dum came and tariffed every country on the planet. He tried to save it yesterday, but the markets are still crashing today because again, some absolute moron keeps ramping up the trade war against China. But in moments like this, there's one thing a serious leader does. Gather up all your closest friends on your payroll and make them say nice things about you. Thank you for your leadership and thank you for everything you're doing. Your leadership at the border absolutely remarkable. I wanna thank you as well for the the shipbuilding. I wanna thank you for standing up to the Chinese Communist Party and what you're doing now. I think is a great service to our country, but ultimately to the world. You were overwhelmingly elected by the biggest majority the US Americans want you to be president. Your vision is a turning point and an inflection point in American history. Wow, what do you even say to that? I'm gonna come. No, stop it! Stop it!

  • Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and daffodils Catch the breeze and winter chills In colors on the snow-wheeling inland Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber gray Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Oh, now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you Love you, but still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you, Vincent This world was never made for one as beautiful As you Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on aimless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of a bloody rose Like crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now I think I know Oh, what you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the trees

  • So, we didn't have enough money to make, you know, international phone calls every week. And so, my parents gave us this tape deck. This Aiwa tape deck. And a tape. And so, every month we would sit in front of that tape deck and my older brother Jeff and I, the two of us would just tell them what we did the whole month. Wow. And we would send that tape by mail. And my parents would take that tape and record back on top of it and send it back to us. Wow. Could you imagine if for two years, wow, if that tape still existed, of these two kids just describing their first experience with United States. I remember telling my parents that that I joined the swim team. My roommate was really buff and so, every day we spent a lot of time in the gym. And so, every night 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups every day in the gym. So, I was nine years old. I was getting, I was pretty buff. And so, I joined the soccer team. I joined the swim team because if you join the team, they take you to meets and then afterwards you get to go to a nice restaurant. And that nice restaurant was McDonald's. Wow. And and I recorded this thing. I said, "Mom and Dad, we went to the most amazing restaurant today." This whole place is lit up. It's like the future. And the food comes in a box. And the food is incredible. The hamburger is incredible. It was McDonald's. But anyhow, it it wouldn't be amazing. Oh my God. Two years? Yeah, two years. Yeah. My parents are incredible actually. They're just they grew up really poor. And when they came to United States, they had almost no money. They came and we were we were staying in a in a in a apartment complex. They had just rent back in the I guess people still do rent rent a bunch of furniture. And we were messing around. We bumped into the coffee table and crushed it. It was made out of particle wood. We crushed it. And I just still remember the look on my mom's face, you know, because they didn't have any money and she didn't know how she was going to pay it back. And but anyhow, that's that kind of tells you how hard it was for them to come here. But they they left everything behind and all they had was their suitcase and the money that had in your in their pocket. They came to United States to pursue the American dream. How old were they? They were in their 40s. Wow. Yeah, late late 30s. Pursue the American dream. This this is the American dream. People who are successful leave the impression often that that our job gives us great joy. I think largely it does. That our jobs, we're passionate about our work. And that passion relates to it's just so much fun. I think largely it is. But it it distracts from in fact, a lot of success comes from really, really hard work. Yes. There's long periods of suffering and loneliness and uncertainty and fear and embarrassment and humiliation. All of the feelings that we most not love. That creating something from the ground up. And and Elon will tell you something similar. Very difficult to invent something new. Yeah. And people people don't believe you all the time. You're humiliated often. Disbelieved most of the time. And so, so people forget that part of success and and I I don't think it's health I think it's it's good that we pass that forward and let people know that that it's just part of the journey. Yes.

  • Reprinted, Philippine President Duterte's excellent comments on the US "pertinence" and "point": 👍👍👍 * When you choose the United States, you have chosen war. If you choose China, you choose peace. * The United States is only the only important commodity sold to the Philippines, which is "arms." The price is very expensive but it is a rotten thing that others have thrown away. * China exports all kinds of shushu, infrastructure, and colorful goods. Only stupid people and unqualified people cannot see them. * The United States likes to create hatred, turmoil, war, deceptive investments, and then take a lot of wealth back to the United States. Creating hatred will enable everyone to buy more arms from the United States. * The United States is the most evil country in the world. He wants to establish the U.S. dollar as the only international mobile currency, so that Americans can enjoy it. * In order to continuously recoup the US dollar in the market, the United States needs to continuously create turmoil and conflict, and it can take the opportunity to sell a large number of weapons. * The United States fought a total of 222 wars in 239 years in history. Their hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people. * Americans like to promote their democracy and human rights everywhere. In fact, it is in a truly evil country of humanity, human rights and anti-democracy. I really don't know how many people their missiles have killed in the world. It is a veritable "cannibal country". * So far, everyone knows clearly why the United States cannot coexist with China. * The United States keeps singing about peace and building, all of which are deceiving things. * China is a country that truly builds a "fate community." An organization that makes good use of increasing national strength to apply scientific, technological, military, and economic strength to maintain world peace. Of course, this will also make the United States angry. * The world is peace. Why does the United States make the world so chaotic. China only hopes to develop into a powerful country in science and technology, which will definitely make the United States unhappy. * So in the future Sino-U.S. Struggle, China's path is mutual benefit and win-win, or Americans like to walk their own path. * I firmly believe that China is absolutely capable of building human justice and conscience. Create high-tech and high-end products to contribute to the true "community of human destiny". 👍👍👍

  • I mean, it wasn't just for, you know, myocarditis, or strokes, or so on. Well, what we're seeing is also that people are starting to talk about the cancers which are appearing, doctors are seeing them, and also the number of cases of cancer, which, you know, are much advanced when they're first recognized, and also they have distant spread. It's quite remarkable. Charles, are you seeing something like this in your practice? Yeah, in fact, I wanted to talk about one of my own patients. You know, it's fascinating as a family doctor, over the years, you know, a small percentage of the new cancer diagnoses would, would unfortunately be stage four at first diagnosis. But in my practice, now, it's approximately two thirds of all cancer diagnoses since the Vax rollout are stage four. And so, you know, pathologists around the world have noticed this, that unfortunately, now, the people who had previous cancers which were in remission are flaring up since their shots because of the damage to their immune system by the COVID shots. But new cancers being diagnosed, the tumors are bigger than ever. They seem to grow very aggressively, spread very aggressively, and be very resistant to treatment. So this has been nicknamed turbo cancer.
