The World Is DONE With The West. Here's What's Next | Amb. Chas Freeman

The most powerful and insightful analysis of the new world order yet! By Ambassador Chas Freeman (傅立民). This is the only master class of 2024 world politics you will need.

Chas Freeman is to my knowledge the first person who figured out how to conceptually correctly grasp the "Rules Based International Order", namely as an attempt of conducting "Rule by Law" as opposed to the universalist approach of International Law (under the United Nations), which is the "Rule of Law." Brilliant analysis.

Ambassador Freeman also discusses in detail China's rise, the connection of international order with Chinese political concepts, and he gives a fascinating account of where we are at in this brave new world of the Post Post-Cold-War. And let me tell you, multipolarity is not what you think it is.

And for those who don't want to wait till the grand finale, here is his conclusion:

"In short, we are witnessing the end of a unified, Western-dominated global order and its replacement by a hodgepodge of collaborations and rivalries at the sub-global level. Something similar happened to cause the devastating chaos of the “Thirty Years’ War” in Europe. That was a disorder composed of warring states, much like the history of China before the Qin unification or India before Aśoka. But the “Thirty Years’ War” ended in the establishment in the Peace of Westphalia of a system of peaceful coexistence between multiple sovereign states that respected their cultural diversity. Its result is memorialized in the “five principles of peaceful coexistence.”

The question for your generation and the next in China, the West, and the rest of the world is whether we can replicate that outcome and end our descent into anarchy. We need to craft a peace based on mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, tolerance, and equality and cooperation for mutual benefit. If we cannot not do this, we risk more than our prosperity. We risk our very existence."

Thanks for giving Ambassador Freeman a platform. Our western media are complicit in our ignorance and decline.

Thank you for having Ambassador Chas Freeman on the show.

[PeterConnors-tviw]

A very wise man. Unfortunately, those that need to heed the wisdom of his words are stone deaf.

[BillKort-xonj]

Wow. A must listen: particularly for many of our Western friends.

[brianwheeldon]

[hannecatton]

A very enlightening master class. Thank you Sir.

[antoniofiorentinodistefano]

The rare US citizen that speaks the truth. His message will not heard by many in the US. We are lucky that we can listen to him now, and that much of what he said will be available to us. Wishing him long life and continued clarity.

[bruceclark]

Wow. Half an hour of sheer brilliance. Good sense, most eloquently expressed. Why did Ambassador Freeman retire?

[thomaswayne]

I do share Amb. Freeman's assessment. Thank you, Pascal.

[PropagandasaurusRex]

The EU will now sanction mr Freeman for speaking Chinese.

[deansawich]

Brilliance from Amb Freeman. Such an astute intellect is no longer present in Western Governments at any level, nor is it being cultivated in the young upcoming "Diplomats". This speech will never be heard by these future leaders of the West. Thanks Pascal for making it available. ❤❤❤

Pascal, thank you for having Ambassador Freeman’s wise and unbiased voice on once again. Bravo.

Specifically, he clearly understands the deep commercial complexity in international relationships and mutual interests which is absent from many commentators on geopolitics.

[martinmcglone]

Thank you Chas Freeman for taking the time to explain the current world world order.

[rebeccacrossley]

Another fabulous human with honesty and talks about the true reality of the hypocrisy of our Western leaders.

[francegiacomelli]

I agree completely : The most powerful and insightful analysis of the new world order yet!

[simpsongeorge]

Rule of law contrast Rule by law, thanks Amb chas freeman for the enlightenment. What a damn world we live in.

[rosemaryspiota]

Thank you so much Pascal for having Ambassador Chas Freeman speaking again. I really appreciate also the transcript so we can separately or at the same time reflect on so much of value and possibilities for changes urgently needed for global peaceful development.

[periklischristodoulou]

I could not agree more with this presentation of thoughts...

[concernedcitizen]

Although many people may not get everything that's discussed, hearing such discussions on MSM would allow many people to better understand geopolitical events and be in a position to hold political representatives to account.

As it is, many people have to rely on channels just like this.

Thank you for the content.
