May I express my deep appreciation of the clear analysis of geopolitics without the narcotic flavour of neoconservatives baggage. Thank you all for enriching and truthful information.

I've been listening since the beginning. Thank you to all of you for what you do.

You guys have been great! You are intelligent, expert, and objective on the world economy and geopolitics. China's economy has been growing in the last few decades and will continue to grow in the future. Thank you for showing us the truth so we have a realistic picture of China and the world's economies.

Every time I watch Geopolitical Economy Hour, I am blown away by the generosity and dedication of Radhika, Michael, Ben and everyone involved. Your insights via this platform and format with the simple goal of expanding human understanding about the world in which we live is nothing short of remarkable. Thank you.

People don't know about China, but talk about China all the time.

China and the Global South have a bright future!

China has the greatest manufacturing capacity. US has the greatest clown production capacity.

Such clarity, backed with a wealth of data, and tackling head-on the critical questions regarding China's structural transition amidst a titanic struggle against US containment and technology embargo. There's incessant voodoo and hexxing from the Western media, 'analysts', trolls and commentators about China's imminent collapse, and this fact-based assessment across a wide variety of domains and perspectives is really useful.
Thank you.

GEOPOLITICAL ECONOMY REPORT is absolutely the Most informed, well analyzed with comprehensive data that supports their findings!

With their analysis, the world can learn from China and apply some of its strategies to be used in their respective countries, for example, what strategies used to remove poverty; apply and implement them for our own country!

As a Canadian, I wish our Leaders can put aside their bias and start focusing on our own people’s needs, and using some of the strategies China is using to help our own citizens!

Other economists should watch this and take note.

The whole thing about China crippling the developing the world with debt is the ultimate in neo-colonial double standards given the reason for the 4 plus decades of stagnation in the African Continent was the result of them being shackled by debt from Western powers. Botswana the perfect outlier that exemplifies the point, they were one of the least developed nations in Africa and recorded the best continued growth of the Continent during the same period by not taking on debt !!

A very insightful discussion with very impressive facts!🤗👍💙

Unlike the West, China doesn't want to beggar their neighbors. China has learned that enriching your neighborhood increases your business opportunities.

Excellent discussion! Many thanks to you three.

[cammm]

Michael's Peace Prize sarcasm was top-notch.

[PerceivedREALITY]

US wanted to make a fool out of China. But instead, the US made a fool of itself. Let that be a lesson.

[PahatRout]

These three experts had debunked all the Gordon Chiangs and Zeihans with their facts!

[almcl]

Excellent piece as ever.
Much appreciated 👏

The western view of China experiencing "Japanification" is based more racist assumptions than it is based on rational analysis.
