Excellent! In 1984, nobody imagined that the USSR would crumble in 7 years or that the two Germanys would reunite.
Today, it's unthinkable that the two Koreas will unite or that peace will arrive in Israel/Palestine.
However, the "unthinkable" often happens in short order in history, so bitter rivals will become best buddies.
Today, the Vietnamese have a better opinion of the USA than China. Who would have imagined that in 1975?

nation states don't have friends, they have interests...

I think the US and China are frenemies. They have lots of disagreements, and they don't necessarily like each other that much, but they like each other enough to do business with one another. This isn't like Russia or Iran, where there is full fledged animosity between the two.

Of course, I am talking about the governments, not the people. I think American and Chinese people are actually quite cordial, if not overtly friendly, with one another.

There are no "friends" in international relationships, only people with common interests.

Ex CIA director said that US needs to INCREASE friction between US and China as much as possible, so no

[Chuck_Hooks]

The problem is China vs. Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam.

Unless a catastrophe truly threatens the survival of the human species and cooperation would save us both, no not anymore

[Noobsaucer]

Been watching your content for a while, it's truly excellent. But this one probably tops all your other videos I've seen so far.

In the 90s, the US was scared that the Japanese economy was going to explode and make the US irrelevant.
AFAIK, the US wasn't making war plans or containment strategies, and and instead saw domestic protectionism as the solution to that problem.

It’s just humanity optimizing itself… let’s see what we learned this millennium

[juriteller]

As you pointed out in the beginning, for states to become friends the conflict needs to be seen through to the end.

[jabig]

They aren't enemies. Only rivals. Enemies are like India vs Pakistan or Israel vs Palestine or North & South Korea.

[amistradd]

Remember, friends or enemy, nothing is permanent. Only self interest.

[TheGreatOne-gwxh]

America is already freinds with china. Or are you refering to west taiwan?

[hitman]

This video paints the US as if it doesn’t support dictators and authoritarians either 🙄

[howtoappearincompletely]

Clear and thoughtful analysis: a tremendously good video, Mr Walas!

[luishernandezblonde]

The problem is China and the US are more powerful and influential. We need them to cooperate, and it is the fact.

The competition between the United States and China is simply a competition for resources. The world's annual economic output is like a cake on a table, and China is eating faster and faster. The cake is so small, and the more China eats, the less Americans eat. This is reflected in the expansion of China's industrial manufacturing and industrial upgrading. So the United States wants to stop China, that is, to impose technological sanctions and suppression on China, so that China will eat slower and less. China and the United States are now in a competitive relationship, so it is difficult to be friends again.
