Who Are the 'Five Eyes' and Why Are They Focusing on China?

The ‘Five Eyes’ are a global intelligence-sharing alliance formed during the Cold War. Composed of the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, they all seem to be having problems with China recently. Are they teaming up against the rising Asian power, and what does China think of the alliance?

'Double Check’ is a weekly show double-checking various news stories from the week hosted by award-winning Turkish-Australian journalist Omer Kablan.

The problem is that the way China has progressed in the last 50 years, so the eyes of the American countries have remained gritty. These countries cannot see other countries moving ahead of themselves.

What about Australia guy Julian assange ? Let him out and do his work. Expose the dirty politics.

In old times we used only one eye for that purpose, that of Sauron.

UK is the grandfather of US. They are basically a same nation but with different flags.

The "Five-Eye" is basically a code word for a group of Anglo-Saxon nations to dominate the world politically and militarily. Historically, Anglo-Saxon countries stole lands in North America, South Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand. In the Middle East, and SE Asia they carved up land to rule over it. They instigate wars after wars under false pretext in Central America, SE Asia, and the Middle East. They work collectively among each other to steal and dominate other countries' land and resources. They even convinced a weakened Japan to be among them, to be a token "White" power. Now, a rising China is showing to flex its muscles and what do they do? They send navies to China waters, and get their nose into China's affairs. Those Anglos can't ever stop interfering in other nations' affairs. They are born aggressors.

This is how France got busted carrying out a Terrorist attack on NZ soil in the 1980's (Rainbow Warrior bombing), France kind of forgot about the 5 Eyes it seems.

China is also a new colonial power too, remember this

[johnvalentino]

the best line
it does not matter how many eyes they have - five or 10 - we are going to gouge out each and everyone of those eyes.

[jaredolson]

I completely support 5 eyes, the Anglo Saxon nations should always stick together. Too many foreign nations threaten the west and five eyes is clearly the leader in western security.

[rowdy]

The 5 eyes are mostly Celtic Brothers. Together we are unbeatable. The US Navy is a tremendous power and with our Allies we can do anything.

If the u.s. cant compete anymore with china maybe instead of attacking china the u.s should invest in education and produce innovators and inventors to stay competitive.

[hassanlreva]

These lot are ready to poke eyes out 🤣🤣🤣 gangster lot

[bizcore]

0:51 LMOF this statement is really hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[HarrisonHollers]

Once someone references “Fox News, ” they lose all credibility.

[wowAmazingWorld]

The background trnalator of China sounds of a New Zealand accent.

[sktalha]

The Chinese have United and they have achieved incredible success in last few decades... This is what gulf needs to do, should unite immediately before the time runs out...

[WaseemAhmad-bfmw]

Even if they manage to have couple of more eyes, They can't beat 🇨🇳

[RizwanKhan-ktri]

Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia, Iran and Nigeria should make same type of intelligence sharing group for sake of future
