[khg]

wtf? As a Chinese, I can't believe that he is so sagacious and intelligent, he knew everything about Chinese politics and economy clearly and precisely. lol

[helioseclipse]

As a Chinese, I have to admit 陆克文先生 knows about China from a non bias way, which is unique as a Western polictic. Don't know why his sucessor doing quite the oppsite.

[marcuschin]

Kevin Rudd is always clear in his talks. He does his research well unlike many big mouth politicians.

[spljapan]

The world would be a much better place if Kevin was the President of the US or PM of UK.

[nadinesoussi]

What a great loss , I was the happiest person in Australia when you become the Prime Minister because I knew that you had a great vision for this country and that you would have made huge changes for the best and made Australia the envey of the world, it's a huge missed opportunity for Australia and the Australian people .

[andrewzhou]

As an Australian, I really miss you as our PM.

[Tyrant_]

Mr. Rudd, if you are still the PM of Australia, you can be very sure I would be returning for a visit, especially to Tasmania.

Sadly, recent events have made the urge and desire to do so really disappear, which is a real same, my mother really loves it there.

Mr Rudd it is time for you and Malcolm Turnbull to form a new moderate political party in Australia, one based on intelligent informed analysis and community benefit. First action should be to make all political donations illegal.

[DaveGamesRoom]

Kevin Rudd is always my all time most favourite Australia Prime Minister totally agree with this.

[jtedmund]

Very good presentation, mr Kevin Rudd!

[jungleworld]

Thank you. Great insights. What are your thoughts on the future of Taiwan and Hong Kong?

[axle.student]

Thank you Mr Rudd for well presented analysis. If I have one criticism, some context of the intended audience feels to have been lost, maybe this occurred in a previous introduction not included in this video.
You have confirmed a great deal of what I have personally derived from countless hours of "reading the water" by sifting through and analyzing the the chaotic array of online public media articles as well as some more formal document releases this year. I released a very condensed summary of a 25 year projection of geopolitics to a small group of friends some months back and It is a comforting affirmation that my "reading of the water" is not too far off mark next to the professionals such as yourself =)
I thank you for the time and effort that you put into this work, as having genuine perspectives, most especially from the Chinese paradigm, offers another sound guidance resource when it come to moderating the the explosion of tit for tat hate speech we are seeing in many of the online social media channels. We all have a tough walk ahead of us in the coming years and will require our best heads shinning the light on the way forward. Please keep up the good work.

Always respectful and thankful of your contribution to our nation

Not sure if you’re looking like Gareth Evans or Paul Murray but SIR, you need to be PM again. Insightful analysis.

[bencordell]

why does rudd have so many chinese fans

[littleangel]

Thank you Kevin. I really liked you. You are wonderful.

[ogrejiang]

age when maozidong went off to meet marx hahahahah only kevin rudd can make such serious topic funny and kept level of scholarship within.

[cbcluckyii]

well I do wish Chinese citizens well and continue to make progress...but it is a monumental mistake to bet against the USA. Should always seek to collaborate frame of work over a combative stance. You can be assertive without being aggressive.

[Schitzoziris]

When will Labor learn how to spell Labour !

[michaelwall]

How hypocritical is China saying that tariffs do more harm than good and we are open to dialogue. And larger countries bullying other countries is not on, they ate doing exactly that to Australia and will not talk to us at all
What a load of crap
Actions speak louder than words

[pauljmeyer]

China is more vulnerable than we think. They have a massive infrastructure that has provided the world's markets but this same titanic manufacturing base may well be a liability. Why? you ask, well the answer is as simple as 'automation' and a radically different approach to production processes. The world is changing faster than most people realise.
