Living in extreme poverty

Can we create a third wave of poverty reduction and get close to eradicating extreme poverty? Bill Gates gave a talk at the foundation’s annual Goalkeepers event where he told the story of progress so far, the challenges that remain, and how we can solve them.

2:30 As you can see, there is a line in the map looks like a cow's tongue. It contains 2 groups of islands: TRUONG SA and HOANG SA: which belong to VIETNAM. No one can take them out of VIETNAM. We have legal right of having them.

[eddienguyen]

"Hoang Sa" and "Truong Sa" are belonged to VietNam, not China.

You had the wrong map! Paracel Islands and Spratly Islands belong to Vietnam 🇻🇳

[pedroobi]

Am a Nigerian, and with this speech of yours and totally motivated to work harder. Day in, day out.

The map of China is INCORRECT because it has the Chinese so-called "nine-dash line", which includes the Paracel Islands and the Spratly Islands, while IN FACT, the Paracel Islands AND the Spratly Islands BELONG TO VIETNAM.

If you had all the money he owns, would you be willing to spend time doing what he does or would you choose to just lay down, relax and enjoy all the money you have? See, the guy made a tough choice and he's trying to make a better world. I think he deserves our recognition. Well done! and please, keep doing it!

Hi Bill,


Before anything else, I would like to thank you for all what you have done for the community, especially the poor. Your great contribution is not deniable and I really hope you will keep your great work in the future.


However, I would say I don't usually comment on Youtube, but as a Vietnamese citizen, I have the responsibility to say this. In the video you posted, we can see the "nine-dash line" included in the map of China, which is literally and historically not correct.
I believe people, especially those who are well-educated like you, know and should know that the Paracel Islands (also known as Hoang Sa Archipelago) and the Spratly Islands (also known as Truong Sa Archipelago) belong to Vietnam.


"The Republic of Vietnam fulfils all the conditions required by international law to assert its claim to possession of these islands. Throughout the course of history, the Vietnamese had already accomplished the gradual consolidation of their rights on the Hoang Sa Islands. By the early 19th century, a systematic policy of effective occupation was implemented by Vietnamese emperors The Truong Sa Islands, known to and exploited by Vietnamese fishermen and laborers for many centuries, were formally incorporated into Vietnamese territory by France on behalf of Vietnam. On both archipelagoes, Vietnamese civil servants assured a peaceful and effective exercise of Vietnamese jurisdiction. The continuous display of state authority was coupled with the constant Vietnamese will to remain the owner of a legitimate title over those islands. Thus military defense of the archipelagoes and diplomatic activities were put forth in the face of false claims from other countries in the area" (Nha, Nguyen. (2018). Vietnam, Territoriality and the South China Sea: Paracel and Spratly Islands. 10.4324/9780429452826.).


We demand China and people whoever support the "nine-dash line" map to respect Vietnam's sovereignty over the archipelagoes.


Thank you,

[AusinVN]

Without digging into it, he will never be the richest man in the world !!! Hoang Sa, Truong Sa are belong to Viet Nam

[tuananhtran]

The data you gave that is incorrect
“Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to Vietnam”; " BILL GATES DBRR"

[therationalist]

He's talking about a humanity-wide issue and all you people care about are territory lines.

[phamanh]

The map is wrong. Hoang Sa, Truong Sa island belong to Viet Nam. Don't be lier

[hangxemgm]

We Vietnamese people like charities and contributions to your world health. But in this video, you let us down, when the Chinese map had nine-dash lines in it. The line covers almost entirely the South China sea which is a disputed region. Many countries, including the US, are against China regarding this issue. And Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to the sovereignty of Vietnam.

[aaronsun]

Obviously the majority of people watching this video missed the entire point

[lucthungractimxacnguoiyeu]

The paracel and Spratly Islands belong to Vietnam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

[transon]

Sorry Mr Gates, but the “9-dash line” in your map is a crime. Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to VietNam. 2:30

Bill gates: "Imagine what's it like being in poverty".

Unlike other billionaires he could atleast imagine living in poverty.

Billionaires live as if poor people don't exist,
separating themselves with huge
compounds, hiring security.

[Vaaru]

2:30 Paracel islands and Spratly islands are belonging to VietNam, not China

Islands “ Hoang Sa” and “ Truong Sa “ are Vietnam. Please correct the information.

[uiop]

Amazing that so many express hate for acts of kindness toward the people most powerless and in need.

"Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to the sovereignty of Vietnam"
