China: Friend or Foe?
With the help of the United States and other western powers, China has become an economic powerhouse. The idea was that prosperity would persuade China to align its interests with the other free nations of the world. But that’s not what happened. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley explains why.

Script:
Communist China is the biggest challenge America faces on the world stage.
It’s a challenge that we’ve ignored for far too long.
For decades, United States leaders in both parties encouraged deep ties with China. The idea was that China would move away from Communism and embrace freedom and democracy.
This idea was wrong.
The Chinese Communist Party is now more oppressive at home and aggressive abroad than ever before. It uses every tool at its disposal to strengthen itself while weakening America.
Let’s start with trade.
Trade is a fundamental, and fundamentally beneficial, part of our economy.
But not all trade with all trading partners is the same.
The father of capitalism, Adam Smith, observed in The Wealth of Nations that Great Britain’s command of the seas must trump trade benefits.
“Defense,” he wrote, “is of much more importance than opulence.”
America has long understood this truth. During the Cold War, we limited trade with the Soviet Union. We didn’t want the communist country to use our innovation and economy against us and our allies.
Now it’s time to take a similar approach with China. For anyone who might have doubted the need for this, the coronavirus pandemic has provided a very loud wake-up call.
As Americans rushed to purchase medical equipment, masks, and gloves, it became obvious we had outsourced a lot of what we needed to China. We had become dependent on them for not only PPE but many of our everyday medicines.
Making America dependent on China for critical supplies didn’t happen by accident. It’s part of a strategic plan.
China’s Communist rulers have manipulated supply chains to China’s advantage, often illegally, to give it an edge over America and the free world.
It wasn’t supposed to go this way.
As it gathered economic strength, China became less free and more aggressive. Now we face an expansionist Communist China whose economic power vastly exceeds anything the Soviets could ever muster.
China is using its growing economic clout to advance its authoritarian vision. The country’s rulers are determined to control or eliminate anyone who stands in their way.
This explains why China’s Communist rulers ethnically cleanse their minorities. They have forced at least a million Muslim Uighurs into concentration camps.
It’s why they impose a surveillance state on their own citizens.
Why they have moved to strip freedom from Hong Kong.
Why they threaten to take over Taiwan.
Why China’s spies have infiltrated American college campuses and classrooms.
Why China has stolen intellectual property from our most innovative companies.
And why they seek to dominate the United Nations and international agencies like the World Health Organization.
The simple fact is that Communist China will not stop. This is why America must respond — and lead.
That starts with American resolve. To stand up to China, we need to stand up for our principles.
While China has abused the free market to its own advantage, America must defend the integrity of the free market — the only pathway to economic prosperity.
We must ensure that our trade relationship is fair and that China isn’t using the rules to its advantage.
We must ensure that our most important security-related industries — from essential medicine to semiconductors — have American-friendly supply chains, instead of depending on an authoritarian rival state.
We must also end China’s intrusion into American business. That means limiting Chinese investment in critical parts of our economy.
And of course, we must support the Chinese people’s right to live free. It’s the right thing to do and the smart thing to do.

trash USA propaganda
Meanwhile American military around world
this lady is sick and so as the USA!
since USA did not sign the treat which says will not sue bio weapon on wars & USA has dozens of P4 virus lab all around the world, if the virus is developed by human beings, then it must be USA! Also USA after WWII took the live human beings testing result from Japan, which make it more possible!
4:08 "And we must support chinese ppls right to live free" said an evil opportunistic woman with forked tongue.
The chinese would 🤮 at you for saying that n they dont need "freedom" from u.
Nikki Haley is good candidate for 2024 elections.
China is a foe. Joe Biden doesn't do much to protect America from China. President Trump had a vision to stop China from what it is doing now.
Lmao COPE Ameritard
Communism is anti-god.
Great video but Chinese citzens todsy definitely are more free than under Mao
AMERICA let this happen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
China is a friend when they are poor. China is an enemy when their economy surpassed the western countries. This is a very simple logic of the west. Automatic promotion to enemy status.
It couldn't be happened in 1979 President Carter would recognise India's economic deal with us wouldn't be dealing with China India has same population has China at least we don't need to depend on China
Remember, yourself is always your biggest enemy. That’s the time you lost when you blame others rather than ask yourself what need to improve.

How shameless, "with the help" of the US, most third world countries lost their future, and turned into supplier of cheap labor and natural resources. China is success because of themselves, the US did nothing but sabotage.
FOE
The great PragerU said "India recognised the Chinese threat" while lifting 8 states from its map. I'm not talking about disputed regions like kashmir and Arunachal. It lifted the states which China itself recognise.
I'm not american but Biden administration is weak. The US can only tackle china with a president like Ronald Reagan.
I feel sorry for all of you who have never been to China to see it with your own eyes… all you know is what your politicians and media tell you, it's so pathetic. Go ask your country's winter Olympic athletes what China is like, they will tell you a different story even if they've only been there a few days. But I do know that you can never wake a person who pretends to be asleep, so go ahead and cry about it, but we don't give a *😝
Ccp is evil monster
每个国家都存在这样那样的问题？但这样的说法，完全是无耻的，美国应该关心是自身的问题。
@Dennis Prager #PleaseRead #PragerU
South America is in the hands of the Chinese and Russians, Putin controls Venezuela, the Spanish-speaking countries are all left-wing presidents, Chile plans to end its own army, Argentina signed an agreement with China to build a Nuclear Power Plant. , on the triple border, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay is a stronghold of Islamic terrorists who exchange weapons for drugs and have free passes in the three countries and are protected by corrupt governments… the communist project for Latin America called Patria Grande is underway could you talk about it?
So-called "intellectual property", unlike actual property, doesn't exist.
A list of statements/accusations, zero evidence to backup.
I am asking United State politicians Republicans or democratic party should not be fighting over each other
They do not have any time to fighting over each other
Republicans and Democratic party should be stick together fighting with communist china
It is time to giving knock out punch to communist china before it is too late
At first it was good strategy for the United State to giving opportunity to china to accepting economically reformation removing from the communist system to moving on to capitalism economy system and at the end wind up in to the democracy system country
At first it was United State brilliant strategy to transforming china from communist to democracy
But unfortunately it did not work
China is now still remaining in communist system
China wrong way of the communist system is now even worst than it was in the past
Still freedom is not exisit inside the china for the chinese citizens and china now completely violating the agreement bewteen Hong Kong reaming in 50 years
And now china is making Hong kong citizens life miserable than ever before for taken away all the freedom they were suppose to be having such a as not even giving Hong Kong citizens freedom to what to wear and what to use
And also china is in psition to targeting theTiwan china considered as chima next target victim country
Moreover now that china is in economically in strong position chinese communist now going around in the world purchasing the weakest countries and threatening the world like a mofia
It is tine to United State to step in and crush down the ACTS OF EVIL CHINESE COMMUNIST
Whoever having trading deal with Chinese communist is just as same as dealing with evil
America at this moment have no time to fighting over each other making a dividing country
American must come together as one to fight witb chinese communist threatening the democracy
You are very right about that
China is not the country that any nation to having any kinds of relationship
China hasn't change their communist forcefully attitude toward others
Chinese communist they are now trying any possible way they could to benefit and gaining power
World will be chaos if chinese communist ever taking over the world the most superpower position
Once chinese communist achieving the world top country
Chinese communist attitude toward other countries expecting to be the same way they are treating Hong Kong innocent citizens at the moment
China is nothing but a ganster mofia country
United State and rest of the allies countries have to come together to stop chinese communist to be in world top position otherwise it is going to be bringing up disaster to the world
China will rule the world by 2065
In other words, usa govt is losing to ccp in trade n international relation.
Perhaps…if usa govt didnt sanction europe or spy on them…
Perhaps if they didnt impose too much restriction on their loan…
Oh well, its easier to blame others than to fix ur own mistake.
In last 40 years china has bombed nobody , US has bombed sombody every single year in last fourty years .China have alleviated poverty in its country where in US it is in record breaking propertion, China has infrastructure that west can only dream about. China is the safest country in the world for the public. US university research shows that Chinese people are happy about there government. Stop brain washing people talking about democracy and free speech . President of US (most powerful person of Country) was shut down from social media by private companies. free speech a joke?? China is a great nation and it will surpass west in all index in few years. US is brain washing its people calling china a threat only because it is going to surpass US in financial supremacy.
Are you really telling me that this is not propaganda?
Oh boy we litterally were about to end the war on terror. You have to start something new. Can we not have nice things ?
Idk man this seems a little bias
What if China is a democracy? China will still act on its self interest just like America. Don’t use ideology as a talking point.
LIES , LIES , LIES …
Cold war 2.0
Nikky Haley！The blood is on your hand！！！
FAKE NEWS，you are lie
🤣🤣🤣 am i dreaming or what?
So now that most of big industries and groups have shifted their production to China because it’s more profitable you say it’s China’s fault? Wake up! The only reason US and his allies wanted China to open his borders was because it was and still a big market with a large human ressources affordable. It’s not China who took over US economy it was US capitalist who gave it away to China and the latest did what a smart nation would have done: keep it in there hands.
US is more than a nightmare for other Countries than China is (of course China is not a perfect country).
China didn’t sabotage other countries economy or invade other but US did.
You can be against Chinese views on democracy but don’t support US imperialism and say China is a threat for the world cuz as far as we can lear from recent history US is a bigger threat.
