Après la course, nous avions avec nous Joanie Vadnais et Catherine Paul, toutes deux médaillées, avec qui nous avons discuté brièvement de leurs projets.
«El gobernante debe ser el hombre más humilde de un país». Antúnez compartía una entrevista de 1972 con Santiago Bernabéu. La cita coincide con la experiencia de Martín después de varios años viviendo en Shanghái. El Partido Comunista Chino es el reflejo de una sociedad que funciona de forma vertical, tiene éxito porque se adapta al pueblo chino.

英语新闻︱佩洛西窜访台湾遭到强烈谴责Beijing on Tuesday voiced strong condemnation over and firm opposition to United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, a provocative move that China criticized as a gross violation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.8月2日，美国国会众议长佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区，严重侵犯中国主权和领土完整，中方对此坚决反对，严厉谴责。China firmly opposes and sternly condemns Pelosi's visit, and has made serious diplomatic representations and strong protests to the US, the Foreign Ministry said a statement issued shortly after Pelosi's arrival in Taipei.中华人民共和国外交部就佩洛西窜访台湾地区发表声明，外交部对此坚决反对，强烈谴责，已向美方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。The statement said that since Pelosi is a leader in the US Congress, her visit to and activities in Taiwan, in whatever form and for whatever reason, are a major political provocation in order to upgrade US official exchanges with Taiwan.声明表示，佩洛西众议长是现任美国国会领导人，佩洛西以任何形式任何理由赴台活动，都是升级美台官方交往的重大政治挑衅。"This is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques. It has a severe impact on the political foundation of China-US relations, and seriously infringes upon China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It gravely undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits, and sends a seriously wrong signal to the separatist forces for 'Taiwan independence'."“严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，严重冲击中美关系政治基础，严重侵犯中国主权和领土完整，严重破坏台海和平稳定，向‘台独'分裂势力发出严重错误信号。”China absolutely does not accept this, and the Chinese people absolutely reject this, the statement said.声明强调，中方绝不接受，中国人民绝不答应。Noting that the Taiwan question is the most important and sensitive issue at the very heart of China-US relations, the statement said the fundamental cause of the new round of tension and the grave challenge confronting the Taiwan Straits are the repeated moves by the Taiwan authorities and the United States to change the status quo.声明指出，台湾问题是中美关系中最重要、最核心、最敏感的问题。当前，台海局势面临新一轮紧张和严峻挑战，根本原因是台湾当局和美方不断改变现状。China will take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, the statement said, and Washington and "Taiwan independence" forces will be responsible for all of the consequences.中方必将采取一切必要措施，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整，由此产生的一切后果必须由美方和“台独”分裂势力负责。Pelosi, who is second in line to the US presidency, made the highest-level visit in 25 years by a US government official to Taiwan, an inalienable part of Chinese territory. Her provocative trip came amid rising tensions between China and the US as bilateral ties have deteriorated in recent years.中美关系日益紧张、双边关系恶化之际，美国总统第二顺位继承人佩洛西公然进行政治挑衅。佩洛西此次窜访是美国政府官员25年来对中国台湾地区进行的最高级别访问。China had issued stern warnings against her visit to the island. During a phone conversation with US President Joe Biden last week, President Xi Jinping said that China firmly opposes separatist moves toward "Taiwan independence" and interference by external forces, and never allows any room for "Taiwan independence" forces in whatever form. "Those who play with fire will perish by it," Xi said.中方对佩洛西窜访中国台湾发出了严厉警告。7月28日晚，国家主席习近平应约同美国总统拜登通电话。习近平强调，中方坚决反对“台独”分裂和外部势力干涉，绝不为任何形式的“台独”势力留下任何空间。习近平强调，“玩火必自焚。”In the China-US Joint Communique on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations in 1979, the US government made a clear commitment to the one-China principle as well as not developing official relations with Taiwan.1979年，美方在《中美建交公报》中明确承诺坚持一个中国原则，不与中国台湾地区发展任何形式的官方关系。"The United States of America recognizes the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China. Within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan," the joint communique said.美国政府在《中美建交公报》中明确承诺，“美利坚合众国认可中华人民共和国是中国的唯一合法政府。在此范围内，美国人民将同台湾人民保持文化、商务和其余非官方关系。”State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that the one-China principle is the consensus of the international community, the political foundation for China's ties with other countries, the core of China's key interests, and a red line and bottom line that cannot be crossed.8月2日，国务委员兼外长王毅强调，一个中国原则是国际社会普遍共识，是中国同各国交往的政治基础，是中国核心利益中的核心，是不可逾越的红线和底线。Some people in the US are constantly challenging China's sovereignty and deliberately stirring up trouble across the Taiwan Straits, Wang said during an interview after attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Foreign Ministers' Meeting. China will never accept such moves, he said.出席上海合作组织外长会后，王毅接受记者采访表示，美国一些人在台湾问题上不断挑战中国主权，掏空一个中国政策，甚至蓄意在台海制造事端。中国人民对此绝不会接受。He warned that some US politicians "play with fire" on the Taiwan question and there will never be a good ending for them. Washington is behaving like a bully, which makes the international community realize that the US is the biggest peace breaker in the world, he added.王毅指出，美国一些政客公然在台湾问题上“玩火”，决不会有好下场。美方的霸凌嘴脸暴露于世，只能让各国人民愈发看清，美国才是当今和平的最大破坏者。A spokesperson for the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the nation's top legislature, condemned Pelosi's visit on Tuesday, saying that any attempt to disrupt China's complete reunification and national rejuvenation is doomed to fail.8月2日，全国人大常委会发言人就佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区表示强烈谴责，并表示任何阻挠中国完全统一和民族伟大复兴的企图注定失败。The nation's Anti-Secession Law has clear stipulations about the major questions with regard to upholding the one-China principle, containing "Taiwan independence" secessionist activities and opposing external forces interfering in the Taiwan question, the spokesperson said.全国人大常委会发言人指出，《反分裂国家法》对坚持一个中国原则、遏制“台独”分裂、反对外部势力干涉台湾问题等重大问题作出明确规定。The Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference said in a statement that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan is a major political provocation toward China. China must be and will be reunified and reunification is an irresistible historical trend, it said.全国政协外事委员会发表声明说，佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区是对中方的重大政治挑衅。中国必须统一，也必然统一，这是不可阻挡的历史大势。The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee said in a statement that the secessionist activities of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party and its collusion with the US to sell out national interests will only push the island into an abyss of disaster and bring great harm to Taiwan compatriots.中共中央台湾工作办公室发表声明称，民进党当局的谋“独”行径和出卖民族利益的与美勾连活动，只会将台湾推向灾难深渊，给广大台湾同胞带来深重祸害。Whatever Pelosi and her peers do in supporting "Taiwan independence" and containing China, they will by no means stop the historical process of China's reunification, the statement said.中共中央台湾工作办公室强调，佩洛西之流无论以什么方式“挺台遏华”，都无法阻挡中国统一的历史进程。In a Washington Post opinion piece published on Tuesday after she arrived in Taiwan, Pelosi said that the US must remember its vow "to support the defense of Taiwan".佩洛西抵达台湾地区后，在《华盛顿邮报》8月2日发表的一篇社论中，佩洛西表示美国必须铭记“助台防卫”的誓言。Speaking at a regular news conference on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, in whatever pretext, is foolish, dangerous and unnecessary. She said that the US must accept all responsibility for this provocation, which will lead to the escalation of tensions across the Taiwan Straits.8月2日，外交部发言人华春莹在例行记者会上指出，佩洛西无论以何理由赴台都将是愚蠢、危险和不必要的。佩洛西此行是美国采取挑衅行动，导致台海局势紧张升级，美国应该也必须为此负全部责任。Calling Pelosi's visit a dangerous gamble, Hua said it is hard to imagine anything more reckless and provocative.华春莹表示，佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区是危险的赌博，很难想像会有比这更鲁莽和挑衅的行动。"The misjudgment or mishandling of the cross-Straits situation by the US side will lead to disastrous consequences for not only the Taiwan region, but also the security, prosperity and order of the entire world," Hua said.华春莹说：“如果美方对两岸形势判断错误或处理不当，将给台湾地区乃至世界的安全、繁荣和秩序造成灾难性后果。”Any countermeasure adopted by China will be justified and necessary given Washington's unscrupulous behavior and its ignoring of China's repeated opposition, Hua said, adding that China is only exercising the right to which any independent sovereign country is entitled.华春莹强调，面对美方罔顾中方反复严正交涉，恣意妄为，中方采取任何反制措施都将是正当的和必要的。这也是任何一个独立主权国家应有的权利。Chinese stocks tumbled on Tuesday ahead of Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite index down 2.26 percent at 3,186.37 points, as investors fretted over the tensions between Beijing and Washington surrounding her trip.8月2日，由于投资者担心中美关系受到佩洛西窜访台湾地区的影响，中国A股暴跌，上证指数跌幅2.26%，报3186.37点。Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell more than 3 percent, while Taiwan's Taiex index was down 1.9 percent in early trading before recouping some losses.香港恒生指数跌幅超过3%，台湾加权指数早盘下跌1.9%之后有所回稳。Also on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Chinese Mission to the European Union said that 181 countries in the world, including the US, have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle.8月2日，中国驻欧盟使团发言人表示，包括美国在内，世界上已有181个国家在一个中国原则基础上同中国建立外交关系。The spokesperson urged other countries to respect China's core interest and major concerns, abide by the one-China principle, be prudent on the Taiwan question in both words and deeds, and not support the wrong strategy of a certain country in trying to contain China with the Taiwan question.发言人敦促其他各方切实尊重中国核心利益和重大关切，恪守一个中国原则，在涉台问题上谨言慎行，不附和、不配合个别国家“以台遏华”的错误战略。In response to a comparison of Pelosi's visit with the one by then-US House Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997, Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, said on Monday that "a previous mistake does not make the following mistake legitimate".8月1日，针对有记者将1997年时任美国众议长访台同佩洛西拟访台相提并论，中国常驻联合国代表张军大使指出，美方曾经犯过的错误不能成为另一个错误的借口。"In recent years, due to the influence of some external forces, the situation in Taiwan has changed for the worse, and the 'Taiwan independence' elements are moving along on the wrong path. Without prompt containment measures against them, the situation may risk losing control," Zhang said at a news conference in New York.张军大使说：“近年来，受外部势力影响，台湾岛内形势发生消极变化，‘台独'势力在错误的方向上越走越远。如果不对‘台独'势力及时遏阻，局势很可能走向失控。”Martin Jacques, a former senior fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University, said a visit by Pelosi to Taiwan would raise the bar of provocation toward China. "It will serve only to raise tensions, increase suspicions and heighten the danger of a military conflict," Jacques wrote in an opinion piece published by Global Times.剑桥大学政治与国际研究系前高级研究员马丁·雅克说，佩洛西窜访台湾地区将提高对华挑衅的门槛。雅克在《环球时报》刊发的文章中写道：“这只会加剧紧张局势，增加猜疑，增加军事冲突风险。”As the relationship between China and the US becomes increasingly unpredictable, Taiwan has become by far the most dangerous source of tension and conflict, Jacques wrote, adding that the two countries need to reaffirm the basic principles of their long-held and shared understanding over Taiwan.雅克在文章中写道，由于中美关系越来越变化莫测，中国台湾地区已经成为迄今为止最为危险的地方，是紧张和动荡的根源，中美两国需要重申长期以来的对台基本原则和共识。记者：曹德胜sovereignty英[ˈsɒvrənti]；美[ˈsɑːvrənti]n. 国家的主权;君权，最高统治权;独立自主;主权国家provocation英[ˌprɒvəˈkeɪʃn]；美[ˌprɑvəˈkeɪʃn]n. 挑衅，挑拨;激怒，刺激;愤怒;愤怒的原因contain 英[kənˈteɪn]；美[kənˈteɪn]v. 装有;包含;遏制;控制;克制secessionist英[sɪˈseʃənɪst]；美[sɪˈseʃənɪst]n. 脱离论者;分离论者;独立主义者

① EU denies it has suspended efforts to ratify China investment deal. ② Blinken urges N. Korea to return to negotiating table. ③ India's hopes of becoming the next China are zero: Martin Jacques. ④ Is China a paper dragon?
Martin Jacques, the author of “When China Rules the World,” addressed the key factors that resulted in the growth of China's economy and global ascendancy. In his discussion during this RadioFinance session, Jacques highlighted the cyclical rise and fall of nations and as China takes centerstage, it will continue to impact the geopolitical dynamics around the world. The following key points were discussed during the interview: • The rise of China represents a new economic modernity illustrated in different areas such as its economy, political institutions, culture, the nature of the society inherited from its history and growing along with the country's development • It is time to have a process of better and deeper mutual understanding between China and the West to have a common ground of communication and learn about their differences. • The challenges faced by China, related to its unity and stability, is due to its large geographic size and demographic factors as compared to Europe and the US • China's culture is resilient—as reflected by its political values, unity, and stability—and it is capable of reinvention, however, it will not adapt to the western model of governance.
Livro em análise: "Quando a China Governar o Mundo" de Martin Jacques Voz e análise: Jadem Freitas
We’ve all heard the adage that the Chinese word for “crisis” is composed of two characters, signifying danger and opportunity. While the story itself appears to be a misconception, it hasn’t stopped Beijing from pursuing this exact strategy, seeking silver or even gold linings in every cloud. Having confidently repelled the Covid-19 downturn, China is set to be the only major economy to register growth this year — much to the envy of its rival America. If Donald Trump hasn’t managed to stop China, can Joe Biden do it? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Martin Jacques, former Senior Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University and author of When China Rules the World.
WOOC Roaming Labor Correspondent, Willie Terry, recorded an online talk given by British Journalist, Editor, academic and Political Commentator, Martin Jacques. In this segment, you will hear his speech that he gave at the "understanding China Conference in Guangzhou on November 22, 2020, on the topic "How The Pandemic Will Change The World" in ways that we don't yet understand and cannot predict.

We stand on the eve of a different kind of world, but comprehending it is difficult: we are so accustomed to dealing with the paradigms of the contemporary world that we inevitably take them for granted, believing that they are set in concrete rather than themselves being the subject of longer-run cycles of historical change. – Martin Jacques, When China Rules the World The biggest question of the twenty-first century is: What does China want? China is without question the rising power of the age. What that means for the current global order, crafted and led by the United States since the end of World War II, is the topic of think tank studies, Congressional hearings, vats of newsprint, and dinner conversations from Washington to Tokyo. What exactly will China do with its new power? Will China become a partner to the West and its allies, or will it wish to change the world, to promote new values, institutions, and patterns of trade and finance? Will it play by our rules, or write new ones? … The answer to these questions is, at its heart, quite simple: China wants what it always had. China was a superpower for almost all of its history, and it wants to be a superpower again. This comes from the first chapter of Schuman’s Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World (Public Affairs Press, 2020). A perceptive and interesting selective historical narrative that identifies China’s exceptionalism and points out key moments in its long-standing existence as a superpower – militarily, economically, and culturally. A key and recurring theme is how China’s own perception of itself has changed over the centuries and should prove helpful to anyone trying to better understand our current historical moment. Schuman’s purpose is to help readers better develop a more nuanced background concerning China’s role in the world today and the future, as well as the West’s relationship with this Confucian-based civilization. Nicely written with a critical and cohesive theme linking back to his opening notion that ‘there is so such thing as world history – at least not one that holds the same meaning for everyone.’ Available in Audible, Kindle, and hardcover versions. Michael Schuman has been a journalist based in East Asia since 1996 and writes extensively about the region’s history and current affairs. Formerly a correspondent with The Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine he now writes for The Atlantic and Bloomberg Opinion – this is his third book. Keith Krueger lectures at the SHU-UTS Business School in Shanghai. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This comes from the first chapter of Schuman’s Superpower Interrupted: The Chinese History of the World (Public Affairs Press, 2020). A perceptive and interesting selective historical narrative that identifies China’s exceptionalism and points out key moments in its long-standing existence as a superpower – militarily, economically, and culturally. A key and recurring theme is how China’s own perception of itself has changed over the centuries and should prove helpful to anyone trying to better understand our current historical moment. Schuman’s purpose is to help readers better develop a more nuanced background concerning China’s role in the world today and the future, as well as the West’s relationship with this Confucian-based civilization.

We stand on the eve of a different kind of world, but comprehending it is difficult: we are so accustomed to dealing with the paradigms of the contemporary world that we inevitably take them for granted, believing that they are set in concrete rather than themselves being the subject of longer-run cycles of historical change. – Martin Jacques, When China Rules the World The biggest question of the twenty-first century is: What does China want? China is without question the rising power of the age. What that means for the current global order, crafted and led by the United States since the end of World War II, is the topic of think tank studies, Congressional hearings, vats of newsprint, and dinner conversations from Washington to Tokyo. What exactly will China do with its new power? Will China become a partner to the West and its allies, or will it wish to change the world, to promote new values, institutions, and patterns of trade and finance? Will it play by our rules, or write new ones? … The answer to these questions is, at its heart, quite simple: China wants what it always had.

This is a teaser for the premium #TMBSSunday episode available at patreon.com/tmbs Martin Jacques (@MartJacques), author of "When China Rules the World," joins us to talk about exactly that. How to categorize China? The importance of the state-owned sector and how to think of the Chinese state. State continuity. Official trade unions in China. The leadership of Xi Jinping. How China is emerging as a world leader. Repression, racial tensions, and dissidence. China's ecological vision. Our problem with China not becoming like us.
As the Trump administration faces criticism for lack of preparation and handling of the COVID-19 crisis - how far will it go in its attempts to blame China? What effect will these attacks have on global efforts to fight the pandemic? We're joined by Martin Jacques, global affairs commentator, academic, and author of the book When China Rules the World.
To the relief of the UK government, Chinese firm Jingye has promised to rescue British Steel, an iconic company that employs 4,000 people. We ask Martin Jacques, author of When China Rules the World, whether the UK is being drawn into China's Belt and Road plan. Protests in Lebanon show little sign of easing up; the entire financial and political system is the focus of the anger. The BBC's Ivana Davidovic has been finding out more. There is an argument that the American Dream is dead and that meritocracy and hard work aren't valued any more. But some do still live the dream and we hear from one such success story; Rob Bernshteyn, CEO of fintech company, Coupa Software which is worth around US$1.6 billion. Vast parts of Australia's east coast are bracing for potentially catastrophic bushfires today and we're joined by the BBC's Phil Mercer in Maitland, an inland city 165 km north of Sydney. China's annual Singles Day has morphed into an enormous frenzy of shopping and green groups are warning all this comes at a huge cost to the environment. We hear from Tang Damin, a plastics campaigner with Greenpeace in Beijing. And joining us throughout the programme are Simon Littlewood in Singapore - he's President of AC Growth Delivered. And in California, Alison Van Diggelen, is host of Fresh Dialogues. Photo description: British Steel's Scunthorpe works Credit: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images

Cause them misinformed tyrant’s don’t gotta admit a wrong turn, going way off track, hanging onto that power, persecuting any usurper even if’n them other folks ain’t trying to hog all them positions in the realm, competing with the hegemon. What a laugh!” SUNY “Figuring they hold the highest card in the deck, that biggest ticket, Granny M, envied by them other War Game Players, scrambling to reach the highest seat like a throne. Right, Granny M?.” GRANNY M “There you go again, Suny, hitting the nail right on the head, Yesiree. We got the World Game Players ‘n we got them War Game Players, It ain’t rocket science but it’s a lot closer than before we got this far, Suny. I for one ain’t no War Game Player, that’s for gol darn sure.” SUNY “Same as me, Granny M. ‘Cause I’m starting with Universe, not some old nomenclature from the PRJWBSC.

SAMPLE PARAGRAPHS NARRATIVE: Describing the West with a studious researcher’s concern for historical significance intending that the published information will reach the world’s contemporary readers is a huge responsibility. The specific geographical location on this planet from where the gathered data derives provides much needed and wanted information around the globe. Amazingly, though, the collected data is relatively incomplete when it omits what erroneously can seem too intellectual to admit. Martin Jacques’ detailed writing is praiseworthy in this regard but his perspective also is a disservice to our humanity by reiterated nomenclature that does not actually identify intellect, our individual intuitions, the mind of our humanity, or that the human species has been identified by forensic anthropologists as “Humans of a mind.” Bothersome as it might seem to be, such identifying ought to supercede what typically limits a nation of immigrants to ancestry, race, history, culture, religion, beliefs, as Martin Jacques lists these characteristics. It includes a shared interest that is cultural, ethnic, racial. In his book published by Penguin Press, NY, 2009, WHEN CHINA RULES the WORLD: The END OF the WESTERN WORLD AND the BIRTH OF A NEW GLOBAL ORDER, the author implies that these characteristics personify the word, “Western.” He emphasizes the differences between the East and the West, but as amazingly by the very default conditioning chooses what seems to be consciously and typically preferred by published writers from a repertoire of descriptive terms. That selective memory process omits the most important evolution patterns that complement evolution species survival. By so doing and like other authors of important information, Jacques inadvertently reenforces the divisions with which humans of variously-cultivated societies agree because this is how they have learnt to process observed information from the reported historical collection that is not also of a personal experience, an actual experience of the articulated events, nor observation of the order of operations as it occurred including what was not then known that is newly discovered and also what is now taken for granted. It was not then realized that our species is accurately identified as humans of a mind. It was not then realized that Universe is metaphysical and physical. But what was known and practiced was imposed upon the receptive readers for the desired result, the divide-to-conquer and keep-divided-to-keep conquered manifest slave mentality conditioning that typically requires the nomenclature to which Martin Jacques resorts and seems typical of the world’s philosophizing research historians. What they write can be taken as the truth of the matter, when in fact it is merely a perspective that in most cases excludes the metaphysical conceptual and the significance of starting with Universe, which is the integral of all truths, for the most accurate descriptions of our species, humans of a mind.

Tellis: Senior Fellow, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Profile Timestamps & Transcripts 18:52 Senator John McCain: America’s interests in the Asia-Pacific region are deep and enduring. That’s why, for the past 70 years, we’ve worked with our allies and partners to uphold a rules-based order based on principles of free peoples and free markets, open seas, and open skies, the rule of law, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. These ideas have produced unprecedented peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific. But now challenges to this rules-based order are mounting as a threat, not just the nations of the Asia-Pacific region but the United States as well. The most immediate challenge is the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Kim Jong-un’s regime has thrown its full weight behind its quest for nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, and, unfortunately, the regime is making real progress. A North Korean missile with a nuclear payload capable of striking an American city is no longer a distant hypothetical but an imminent danger, one that poses a real and rising risk of conflict. 31:20 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: The goal of Beijing’s strategy has become increasingly clear in the last few years is to create a regional Eurasian order that’s very different from the one we’d been trying to build since the end of the Cold War. 32:03 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: When the Cold War ended, the United States set out to expand the geographic scope of the Western liberal economic and institutional order by integrating the pieces of the former Soviet Union and the former Soviet empire and by accelerating the integration of China—the process that had begun a few years before. As regards China, the United States pursued a two-prong strategy: on one hand, seeking to engage China across all domains, economic in particular but diplomatic in others; and at the same time, working with our allies and partners and maintaining our own forces in the region to preserve a balance of power that was favorable to our interests and the security of our allies. And the goals of that policy were to preserve stability, to deter the possibility of aggression, while waiting for engagement to work its magic. The U.S. hoped, in effect, to tame and ultimately to transform China, to encourage its leaders to see their interests as lying in preservation of that order, and to set in motion processes that would lead, eventually, to the economic and political liberalization of that country. 37:53 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: Economically, they’ve been using the growing gravitational pull of their economy to draw others towards them and also to become increasingly open in using economic threats and punishments to try to shape the behavior of others in the region, including U.S. allies; as Dr. Cha mentioned, Korea; and also the Philippines. 42:27 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: And while there’s obviously a limit to what we can and should say in public, we are at a point, I think, where we need to be able to explain to our allies, our possible adversaries, and ourselves how we would fight and win a war in Asia, should that ever become necessary. 45:50 Kelly Magsamen: First, we need to increase the pressure on North Korea as a necessary predicate to any other option. China is central to that, but we can’t rely only on Chinese pressure. We also need to be realistic. Kim Jong-un is not going to unilaterally disarm because of international pressure. Pressure alone is not going to solve the problem. Second, military options should remain on the table, but they are extremely high risk and should be a last resort. We should not kid ourselves here: a conflict on the peninsula would be unlike anything we have seen in decades. North Korea is not a Syria, it’s not an Iraq; the consequences could be extremely high. 55:51 Dr. Ashley J. Tellis: I think it would be very helpful for the administration to support your initiative, Senator McCain, with respect to the Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative. In fact, urgent funding at levels that approximate those are for the European Reassurance Initiative. 56:32 Dr. Ashley J. Tellis: In the near term, this will require shifting additional combat power to the theater, remedying shortfalls in critical munitions, expanding logistics’ capabilities, increasing joint exercises and training, and improving force resiliency by enabling a more dispersed deployment posture. But the longer term is just as crucial, and the demands of the longer term cannot be avoided indefinitely. Here, I believe, bipartisan support will be necessary for developing and rapidly integrating various revolutionary technologies into the joint force—technologies that will emphasize stealth, long-range, and unmanned capabilities as well as doubling down on our advantages in undersea warfare. 1:05:47 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: China’s been playing a game with us, for at least 15 years, on this issue. When we get especially concerned about what the North Koreans are doing, and we go to the Chinese and ask them for their help, what they’ve done in the past is to apply limited increments of pressure—they did it in 2003 to get the North Koreans to agree to sit down, what became six-party talks—but at the same time, almost simultaneously, as Victor suggests, they’re enabling the North Korean regime to continue by allowing continued economic exchange across their border. The Chinese have also allowed, or the Chinese authorities have at least looked aside as Chinese-based companies have exported to North Korea components that were essential to the development of their ballistic missiles, and probably other parts of their special-weapons programs. I’m not at all optimistic that the Chinese are going to play a different game with us now than they did in the past. One thing I would add, though: aside from military pressure, which for reasons that you suggest, Senator McCain, is I think of questionable plausibility, there are ways in which we could increase economic pressure on the North Korean regime, particularly by imposing further economic sanctions and especially financial sanctions. We did that in the Bush administration. I think it was actually something that caused a good deal of pain. We backed away from it for various reasons. I think it was a mistake to have done that. One of the reasons, my understanding, that we haven’t been willing to push on this harder is that it probably would involve sanctioning entities that are based in China, and I think we’ve been reluctant to do that because of our concerns about upsetting the relationship with China. I think if we’re going to be serious about this, we probably are going to have to go down that road. 1:08:37 Kelly Magsamen: Now is the time to try to make China understand that the status quo is worse for them than all other scenarios, and to do that, I think we need to hold their interests at risk, and what I mean by that is somewhat of what Dr. Friedberg said, which is we need to really think hard about secondary sanctions on Chinese banks. I actually think we should go out and do it now. I don’t think we should actually wait. I don’t think that holding it in advance is actually going to induce Chinese cooperation. So now is the time to demonstrate to China that we’re serious in that regard. 1:15:45 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: There is in the long run—I hesitate to use this term because it’s fallen into disfavor for good and bad reasons—but the ultimate solution to this problem is regime change unless and until there’s a change in the character of the North Korean regime and certainly the identity of the current leadership. There’s absolutely no prospect that I can see that this problem will get better. 1:26:05 Dr. Ashley J. Tellis: We cannot do anything else without exhausting the alternatives offered by diplomacy because dealing with North Korea, at the end of the day, will require a coalition effort, and we have to satisfy the expectations of our coalition partners that we’ve made every effort in the interim to deal with the challenge. And so we have to think of it in terms of a multi-step game. As Dr. Cha highlighted, the immediate objective should be to get the North Korean regime back to the negotiating table. The ultimate objective must be to hope that there will be evolutionary change in the regime. 2:07:45 Dr. Aaron Friedberg: If you ask what would be the sort of outer limit of what China could do— Unknown Speaker: Mm-hmm. Friedberg: —assuming that it was willing to do almost anything, it could bring North Korean economy to its knees, which it’s pretty close to that already; it could cut off the flows of funds that go across the border into North Korea, partly from the so-called illicit activities that the North Koreans engage in; it could interdict components that flow into North Korea through China that support the special-weapons programs; it could do a lot. Hearing: United States Pacific Command and United States Forces Korea, United States Senate Committee on Armed Services, April 27, 2017. Witness Admiral Harry B. Harris, Jr., USN: Commander, United States Pacific Command Timestamps & Transcripts 16:44 John McCain: America’s interests in the Asia-Pacific region are deep and enduring. That’s why, for the past 70 years, we’ve worked with our allies and partners to uphold a rules-based order based on the principles of free peoples and free markets, open seas, and open skies, and the rule of law, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. These ideas have produced unprecedented peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific. But now challenges to this rules-based order are mounting, and they threaten not just the nations of the Asia-Pacific region but the United States as well. The most immediate threat is the situation on the Korean Peninsula. Kim Jong-un’s regime has thrown its full weight behind its quest for nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them, and, unfortunately, the regime is making real progress. A North Korean missile with a nuclear payload capable of striking an American city is no longer a distant hypothetical but an imminent danger, one that poses a real and rising risk of conflict. 19:47 John McCain: As its behavior toward South Korea indicates over the last several years, China has acted less and less like a responsible stakeholder of the rules-based order in the region and more like a bully. It has economically coerced its neighbors, increased its provocations in the East China Sea, and militarized the South China Sea. Meanwhile, with a rebalance policy too heavy on rhetoric and too light on action, years of senseless defense cuts and now the disastrous decision to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, U.S. policy has failed to adapt to the scale and velocity of China’s challenge to the rules-based order. 21:44 John McCain: At our hearing earlier this week, our panel of expert witnesses agreed there was a strong merit for an “Asia-Pacific Stability Initiative.” This Initiative could enhance U.S. military power through targeted funding to realign our force posture in a region, improve operationally relevant infrastructure, fund additional exercises, pre-position equipment, and build capacity with our allies and partners. Admiral Harris, I’m eager to hear your thoughts on this kind of an initiative. 24:26 Senator Jack Reed: While North Korea poses an immediate national security threat, we must not lose sight of the potential long-term threat that China poses to the rules-based order in the Asia-Pacific region. Whether it be economic coercion of its small and more vulnerable neighbors or undermining the freedom of navigation that we all depend upon, China has not demonstrated a willingness to rise as a responsible global leader. Therefore, I believe it is critical that we empower and engage countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia to protect their own waterways and provide them with economical alternatives to maintain regional stability, preserve U.S. standing in Asia, and allow the economic growth and stability that has characterized the region for the last 50 years to continue. 35:41 John McCain: What does THAAD do for us? Admiral Harris: THAAD enables us and our South Korean allies to defend South Korea, or a big portion of South Korea, against the threat from North Korea. It is aimed at North Korea, the systems, and it poses no threat to China. McCain: But isn’t it incredibly difficult to counter the 4,000 artillery pieces that the North Koreans have on the DMZ, which could attack a city of 26 million people? Harris: It is, sir, and THAAD is not designed to counter those kinds of basic weapons. McCain: And what is designed to do that? Anything? Harris: We do not have those kinds of weapons that can counter those rockets once they’re launched. McCain: And they can launch—they have the capability of a launch of those rockets. Harris: At this very moment, they have that capability, Senator. 1:02:00 Senator Roger Wicker: There are these 4,000 short-range missiles, and your testimony is that there is essentially no defense from the south for those— Admiral Harris: Right. Wicker: —short-range missiles. Is that correct? Harris: And those aren’t missiles. Those are mostly artillery. Wicker: Artillery. Okay. Artillery. Harris: And so— Wicker: And there's no defense? Harris: Right. I mean, you’re trying to shoot down an artillery round, right. Wicker: Okay. And then, the chairman asked you, and I don’t think I understood the answer, what does THAAD get us? Harris: THAAD allows us an intercept capability to shoot down, at the high-altitude level, ballistic missiles that go from North Korea to South Korea. 1:57:37 Admiral Harris: What we said was, the Carl Vinson was leaving Singpore, truncating its exercise, cancelling is port visit, and heading to Northeast Asia. Unknown Speaker: But— Harris: And that’s where it is today. It’s within striking power, striking range of North Korea if the president were to call on it. 2:16:17 Senator Lindsay Graham: It should be the policy of the United States to never allow North Korea to develop an ICBM with a warhead that could hit America. Admiral Harris: I believe that’s correct. Graham: Okay. Do you believe that the only way they’ll change that policy, their desire, is if they believe that the regime could be taken down by us if they continue to develop an ICBM? Without credible military threat in the mind of the North Koreans they’re going to plow ahead? Harris: I believe that generally, but I believe that China might be able to exert its influence. Graham: Do you believe China could change North Korea’s behavior, absent a belief by North Korea, that we would use military force to stop their ICBM program? Harris: I do not. Graham: Okay. Do you believe that China would act stronger and more bold if they believe credible military force was on the table to stop North Korea? Harris: I do. Graham: So, it seems to me that the policy of the United States, given the admiral’s advice and you are really good at what you do, that we should all agree that it’s not good for America for North Korea to have an ICBM with a warhead attached, and it’s really not good for China, is it? Harris: I believe it is not good for China. Graham: Well, why don’t they believe that? Harris: Because they have their own calculus, their own decision process. Graham: Do you think they’re beginning to reshape their calculus in light of our reaction to North Korea? Harris: I hope so, but it’s early days. Graham: Okay. In terms of China’s leverage on North Korea, you said it was substantial. Harris: Their leverage is potentially substantial. Graham: Substantial. The best way to avoid a military conflict with North Korea over their missile program is for China to wake up North Korea to the reality of what threat that presents to North Korea and China. Is that fair to say? Harris: That is fair to say. Graham: Is it also fair to say that we do not have any intentions of invading North Korea at all? I mean, that’s not on our—nobody’s told you, “Get ready to invade North Korea.” Harris: That is not fair to say, sir. I believe the president has said that all options are on the table. Graham: Yeah, but, I mean, we’re not going to just go in and take North Korea down for the heck of it. Harris: Sir, I don’t want to get into what we could or could not do. Graham: Okay. Well, North Korea thinks we’re going to invade in any moment. Do you think that’s part of our national security strategy is, without provocation to attack North Korea? Harris: I think North Korea has provided provocation already in terms of— Graham: But without provocation, it’s not our policy to attack North Korea. Harris: They have provoked us already, sir. Graham: Yeah, I said but if they stopped it, they don’t have anything to worry about. Harris: Then we will have to look at it. You know, that’s a decision— Graham: That's all I'm saying. Harris: That’s a decision that the president would make. UN Security Council Meeting: Secretary Tillerson Chairs UN Security Council Meeting on Denuclearization of North Korea, April 28, 2017. Timestamps & Transcripts 2:00 Antonio Guterres (UN Secretary General): The Security Council first adopted the resolution on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK, nuclear issue in 1993 when it urged the DPRK not to withdraw from the Treaty of Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Twenty-four years later and despite extensive efforts, the challenge has defied resolution. In response to the DPRK’s accelerated nuclear and ballistic missile activities, the Security Council has adopted two sanctions resolutions and met 11 times in emergency consultations since January 2016. During this period, the DPRK conducted two nuclear tests, more than 30 launches using ballistic missile technology, and various other activities relating to the nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Its launches using ballistic-missile technology, have included tests of short, medium, intermediate range and submarine-launched ballistic missiles as well as the placement of a satellite in orbit. These tests and launches are clear violations of Security Council resolutions, and the absence of coordination and notifications in advance of these launches, other than the space launch of 7 February 2016, are also contrary to internationally accepted regulations and standards adopted by the International Maritime Organization and International Civil Aviation Organization. 11:30 Secretary Rex Tillerson: We have said this before, and it bears repeating: the policy of strategic patience is over. Additional patience will only mean acceptance of a nuclear North Korea. The more we bide our time, the sooner we will run out of it. 12:27 Secretary Rex Tillerson: Our goal is not regime change nor do we desire to threaten the North Korean people or destabilize the Asia-Pacific region. Over the years we have withdrawn our own nuclear weapons from South Korea and offered aid to North Korea as proof of our intent to de-escalate the situation and normalize relations. Since 1995 the United States has provided over $1.3 billion in aid to North Korea, and we look forward to resuming our contributions once the DPRK begins to dismantle its nuclear weapons and missile technology programs. 13:35 Secretary Rex Tillerson: I propose all nations take these three actions, beginning today: first, we call on UN member states to fully implement the commitments they have made regarding North Korea. This includes all measures required in resolutions 2321 and 2270. Those nations which have not fully enforced these resolutions fully discredit this body. Second, we call on countries to suspend or downgrade diplomatic relations with North Korea. North Korea exploits its diplomatic privileges to fund its illicit nuclear and missile technology programs, and constraining its diplomatic activity will cut off a flow of needed resources. In light of North Korea’s recent actions, normal relations with the DPRK are simply not acceptable. Third, we must increase North Korea’s financial isolation. We must levy new sanctions on DPRK entities and individuals supporting its weapons and missile programs, and tighten those that are already in place. The United States, also, would much prefer countries and people in question to own up to their lapses and correct their behavior themselves, but we will not hesitate to sanction third-country entities and individuals supporting the DPRK’s illegal activities. We must bring maximum economic pressure by severing trade relationships that directly fund the DPRK’s nuclear missile program. I call on the international community to suspend the flow of North Korean guest workers and to impose bans on North Korean imports, especially coal. We must all do our share, but China, accounting for 90 percent of North Korean trade, China alone has economic leverage over Pyongyang that is unique, and its role is, therefore, particularly important. The U.S. and China have held very productive exchanges on this issue, and we look forward to further actions that build on what China has already done. Lastly, as we have said before, all options for responding to future provocation must remain on the table. Diplomatic and financial levers of power will be backed up by a willingness to counteract North Korean aggression, with military action if necessary. 36:02 Wang Yi (China's Minister of Foreign Affairs): Mr. President, China is not the focal point of the problem on the peninsula. I think the key to solving the nuclear issue on the peninsula does not lie in the hands of the Chinese. 37:05 Wang Yi: The dual-track approach aims to promote parallel progress in the denuclearization of the peninsula and the establishment of a peace mechanism on the peninsula in a synchronized and reciprocal manner, ultimately achieving both goals together. The suspension-for-suspension proposal, which calls for the suspension of nuclear and missile activities by the DPRK and the suspension of large-scale military exercises by the U.S. and the ROK, seeks to bring the two sides back to the negotiating table, thus initiating the first step of the dual-track approach. 40:25 Wang Yi: Given the grave situation on the peninsula, China strongly urges all parties to remain calm and exercise restraint and avoid provocative rhetoric or actions that will lead to miscalculation. What I want to stress is that there is and should be no double standard on this issue. While we demand the DPRK to observe the Council’s resolutions and stop advancing its nuclear and missile development, we also demand the U.S., the ROK, and other parties to refrain from conducting or even expanding military exercises and deployment against the DPRK. 41:06 Wang Yi: All parties should comprehensively appreciate and fully implement DPRK related Security Council’s resolutions, in addition to introducing sanctions on the DPRK, the resolutions adopted do date also ask for resumption of the six-party talks, avoidance of acceleration of tensions, not to mention [unclear], in other words, imposing sanctions [unclear] talks about the [unclear] Council resolutions. We may not choose one over the other. We’ll only implement what we see fit. 42:30 Wang Yi: Before I conclude, I want to reiterate China’s firm opposition against a U.S. deployment of THAAD anti-missile system in the ROK. It’s a move that seriously undermines the strategic security of China and other countries in the region and damages the trust and the cooperation amongst the parties on the peninsula issue. It is detrimental to achieving denuclearization and maintaining long-term stability on the peninsula. China was again urges [unclear] parties to immediately stop the deployment process. 2:03:05 Secretary Rex Tillerson: We will not negotiate our way back to the negotiating table with North Korea. We will not reward their violations of past resolutions. We will not reward their bad behavior with talks. We will only engage in talks with North Korea when they exhibit a good-faith commitment to abiding by the Security Council resolutions and their past promises to end their nuclear programs.

Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. So said Winston Churchill and who would disagree? One man, one vote, the rule of law, equality and a free press. These are the principles which tens of thousands have been imprisoned or lost their lives for in despotic regimes from South America to Burma. But is the assumption that democracy always leads to a freer and more tolerant society correct? Many would argue that it can lead to quite illiberal outcomes especially where there is profound ethnic division. What if democracy were installed in Syria? It’s not hard to imagine what would happen to the minority groups who have enjoyed the protection of Assad’s regime. There have been successful transitions to democracy in post- war Germany and Japan, but free elections in countries such as Iraq and Egypt have not brought peace and prosperity. In this debate, from March 2014, Rosemary Hollis, Professor of Middle East Studies at City University, and Martin Jacques... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Martin Jacques presents a personal view on how best to understand the unique characteristics and apparent mysteries of contemporary China, its development and its possible future. In a new series of talks he sets out the building blocks for making sense of China today.In his final talk, he asks how the undemocratic Chinese state can enjoy legitimacy and authority in the eyes of its population. He argues that the Chinese state is held in such high esteem because it is seen as the embodiment, protector and guardian of Chinese civilization. The state is seen as an intimate, a member of the family indeed - in fact, the head of the family. It is a remarkable institution which will come to exercise interest and fascination outside China.Martin Jacques is the author of 'When China Rules the World'.Producer: Arlene Gregorius.
Martin Jacques presents a personal view on how best to understand the unique characteristics and apparent mysteries of contemporary China, its history, development and its possible future. In a new series of talks he sets out the building blocks for making sense of China today.In this third talk, he explores the nature of race in China. Over 90 per cent of the Chinese population regard themselves as belonging to the same race, the Han. This is a stark contrast to the multi-racial composition of the world's other populous states. Chinese ethnic identity stems from a process of integration and of cultural identity. What defines the Chinese above all is a sense of cultural achievement. Martin Jacques argues that the Han identity has provided the glue which has held China together and has given the Chinese people an admirable confidence. But this strong sense of pride in who they are can also have a downside: a tendency to look down on others.Martin Jacques is the author of 'When China Rules the World'.Producer: Nina Robinson.
In this second talk, he examines the tributary system, the historical China-centric network of international relations which involved other parts of East Asia accepting the principle of Chinese superiority in return for protection and access to the Chinese market, an arrangement distinct to European forms of colonialism. He asks whether a system of this kind is now re-emerging.Martin Jacques is the author of 'When China Rules the World'.Producer: Rosamund Jones.
Martin Jacques presents a personal view on how best to understand the unique characteristics and apparent mysteries of contemporary China, its development and its possible future. In a new series of talks he sets out the building blocks for making sense of China today.In this introductory talk, he argues that we cannot make sense of China by looking at it through a Western prism. China is not like a Western nation-state and never will be. Western nations are countries constituted on the basis of nation, China is a country constituted on the basis of a civilization. The consequences are profound and far-reaching.In his second talk, he examines the tributary system, the historical China-centric network of international relations which involved other parts of East Asia accepting the principle of Chinese superiority in return for protection and access to the Chinese market, an arrangement distinct to European forms of colonialism.

Andrew Marr discusses the state of China with the authors Jonathan Fenby and Martin Jacques. Fenby attempts to draw together the whole of the China story to explore its global significance, but also its inner complexity and complexes. Martin Jacques has updated his bestseller, When China Rules the World, to argue that the country's impact will be as much political and cultural, as economic. But while China's finances make all the headlines, what of its literature? Ou Ning edits China's version of Granta magazine, showcasing the work of contemporary Chinese authors, but must tread a careful path to keep the right side of the censors. And the academic and translator Julia Lovell argues that to understand the new spirit of China, it's vital to read its often contrarian short fiction. Producer: Katy Hickman.
McAlvany Weekly Commentary The post When China Rules the World: An Interview with Martin Jacques appeared first on McAlvany Weekly Commentary.
This segment of GLOBAL IMPACT addresses China's rise as a new superpower and the decline of American hegemony. According to conservative estimates, by 2027 China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy, and by 2050 its economy will be twice as large as that of the United States. Many international economists and national security experts see China's rise as a harbinger to the end of the western world's dominant influence in global affairs. China will seek to shape the world in its own image. In coming decades, the West will be confronted with the fact that its systems, institutions and values are no longer the only ones on offer. Our distinguished guest will be Dr. Martin Jacques, author of "WHEN CHINA RULES THE WORLD - THE END OF THE WESTERN WORLD AND THE BIRTH OF A NEW GLOBAL ORDER". Dr. Martin Jacques is a visiting senior fellow at the LSE Ideas, a Centre for the Study of International Affairs, Diplomacy and Grand Strategy, and a visiting research fellow at the London School of Economics Asia Research Centre. He has recently been a visiting professor at Renmin University, Beijing, The International Centre for Chinese Studies, Aichi University, and Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, and a senior research fellow at The Asia Research Institute, National University of Singapore. We will be discussing his groundbreaking book and his critical perspectives on China's rise as an economic superpower.
