National Security, White Empire and Self-Determinationw/ Indi.ca. Psychlib.7

Unraveling the White Empire: Insights on China, Imperialism, and Self-Determination.

In this engaging episode of Psychlib, we are joined once again by Indi from the indi.ca blog to discuss the concept of the White Empire. The conversation delves into China's national security strategy and their unique approach to sovereignty and non-interference, while also examining the discrepancies between Western and Chinese understandings of national security. The discussion further explores the psychological dynamics and biases that lead people to scrutinize China's actions, often driven by a looming sense of Western decline. Through a rich dialogue that spans diverse topics, including the role of local traditions in shaping modern development, the impact of colonialism, and the philosophical underpinnings of decolonization, this episode challenges viewers to rethink dominant narratives and consider the profound importance of self-determination and local innovation.
