🇨🇳 🇺🇸 China: and US's Identity Crises

Special Guest: Xiangyu (X @notXiangyu) political commentator & anti-imperialist rapper joins again to discuss the geopolitical and economic dynamics between China and the West. We delve into China's recent military parade commemorating the 80th Victory Day, showcasing its advanced military capabilities and highlighting national achievements. Then we move on to Trump's tariffs on China and the subsequent export controls imposed by China on rare earth minerals. Xiangyu also surveys the complex relationships between China, North Korea, Russia, and the United States, shedding light on the shifting power balances and strategic maneuvers in the Asia-Pacific region. Will the US, and the rest of the Western elites, accept the situation as it is or will they continue to swing widely from denial to bargaining to anger?
