global leadership award from the american hudson institute. michael ramirez following the visit to review the budget sequestration, ms. polosi. dragon cartographer. parishnat from india with a drawing: china is redrawing its borders and being rude to its neighbors. he includes everyone in his strategy, says the man. patrick chapat from switzerland, tiktok as a tool of chinese espionage. another rihanna video, chinese screams. soldier, and i’m not responsible for myself, we’ll talk next week, but for now let’s take a little break from the routine in the 20th century the pacific region wasn't as much of a focus as it is now, but there was a fair amount of action going on. we’ll talk about the specifics of the pacific strategic theater with a wonderful specialist, historian vasily moladyakov.

vasily, to what extent do bloc... allied relations generally correspond to the traditions of asia, it may look like something bloc, the idea in our traditional understanding in asia can only date back to 1940, when japan proclaims such an ambitious project to create a sphere of co-prosperity for the great east asia, and, so to speak, without a doubt, it includes not only, say, pro-japanese regimes in manchego, china in thailand, but also a scheme, a plan for the future, simply because in asia at that time, let’s say, there were not very many independent states that could act as independent actors during the formation, this is, of course, a fundamental difference from the european theater; by the mid -thirties, germany and italy coincided in one

desire, they wanted to reconsider the world order that had developed after the first world war war, so they looked for ways to expand influence. on november 25, 1936, in berlin, nazi germany and imperial japan concluded the anti-comtern pact; in september 1946, germany, italy and japan signed the tripartite pact. this is how the military alliance of the three powers took shape, resulting in a new order in europe. and asia at the end of the thirties, two military clashes took place between the ussr and japan: on lake khasan in the thirty-eighth on the khalchen river in manzhuria in the thirty-ninth. having suffered quite serious losses and making sure that the red the army is actively resisting. japan in april '41 concluded a neutrality pact with the ussr. moscow believed that tokyo's neutrality would allow it to maintain an impressive military group in the far east at any time. in december 1941

, japanese aircraft and submarines attacked the american military base at pearl harbor on the hawaiian island of oahu. after the raid , it seemed that japan had achieved superiority at sea. tokyo hoped to seize as much territory as possible in the pacific ocean and enter into a war with washington peace negotiations. however, the americans did not have enough strength after the first japanese attack. in addition, after the victory over hitler's germany, the ussr, fulfilling its allied obligations, declared war on japan. the fighting lasted less than a month. the kwantong army was defeated. tokyo's hopes of sheltering the emperor in manchuria and giving battle to the americans in the metropolis collapsed. japan capitulated. the second world war was over. when gradually all of asia becomes independent, at least until. already appearing - memorable

to us from the political dictionaries of our youth seata, anzyus, anzyuk, and so on, this construction block is really rapidly developing, if you like, but this is , of course, a post-war phenomenon, a child of the cold war, well, that is , historically it is unusual for asian countries to look for alliances for joint defense, i understand correctly, if you remember... that the model of asia in general and what the europeans called paxinics, there is china, the middle empire, there are vassals, there are barbarians, there is nothing else, what kind are there, what kind can be there blocks, that is, here, well, in general , indeed, let’s say, modernity in block construction, of course, begins only after the second world war as a result of the second world war. back in

1950, the united states became an ally of south korea in the war on the korean peninsula. after the war, washington pledged to provide military assistance to the country and received the right to deploy it. army territory. japan has become another strategic partner of the united states in asia. according to agreements on mutual cooperation and security, on its territory there is always us marines, navy and air force are present. their numbers are larger than in south korea. on september 1, 2005, in san francisco, representatives of the united states, australia and new zealand signed the pacific security treaty, anzus. he assumed that an attack on one of the parties would be considered, as in august 54, the united states, great britain and france proposed to a number of countries in southeast asia, as well as india and pakistan, to create a new collective security system in the region. burma, india, indonesia and tsililon declined the invitation,

they adhered to the principle of neutrality and non-participation in military blocs. and pakistan, thailand and the philippines agreed. so in september of fifty-four, in addition to the us consulate. in vietnam and the withdrawal of american troops, the alliance ceased to exist, as announced in june 1977. nato now has four key partners in the asia-pacific region. these are australia, new zealand, south korea and japan. operational cooperation began back in 2001, after the al-qaeda terrorist attacks. then australia, new zealand and south korea joined the nato mission in afghanistan, asi. together with australia, india and the usa. japan is part of the coat alliance, created in 2007. this is a quadripartite dialogue on security in the indo-pacific region. it is often called an anti-chinese military alliance and an asian nato. 2 years ago, in contrast to china, another

military alliance, aokus, appeared in the region, uniting the usa, great britain and australia. american approaches to security. everything is fine on the atlantic ocean, there is the ussr, there is the usa. there is the warsaw pact, there is tak. that is , everything is so very clear, well, of course, there are some neutral countries that are neither here nor there, but still the model is quite well-built. in the pacific ocean there is the people's republic of china, mainland china , an adversary of the united states. but let’s say, since the turn of the fifties and sixties, china has not been an ally of the ussr, that is, here at all, but the main factor is also the non-alignment movement, that is, everything is very complicated here, that is, on the one hand there is the ussr and

its, well, let’s say, ally, there is china, the people's republic of china, a completely separate topic, there are satellite states such as south korea, south vietnam and so on , taiwan, the republic of china, there are these same tigers, and there is the non-aligned movement, there is a very powerful force led by from india, indonesia, let's remember the glorious era, all the games of the soviet union with the non-aligned movement, the famous tour of khrushchev and bulganin to asia in 1955, this , of course, was such a very specific approach to him and of course the impact of the tour with him of course, the pro-american japanese prime minister kishi in 57-58 cannot be compared, although he tried, let’s say, if not to build, then at least to build a non-communist

phalanx under the leadership of the united states, but still with some kind of pan-asian tinge, that is ... let’s put it this way, these are not american puppets like lisenman in south korea, this is still an attempt to build a non-communist asia, well , due to the fact that the pacific ocean was not the main theater, there may be a general level of tension was lower in some in moments, tension simply sparkled constantly, just remember the korean peninsula, just remember vietnam, or you know, as he said. it reminds me of the indo-pakistani incident, that is, let’s say, maybe there was no such frontal or total tension, but it sparked, of course, much stronger than in europe, and what is the united states anyway? of course, it was a great overseas democracy ,

including for asian intellectuals in colonial semi-colonial countries, like it is said, you will ask why, due to the very active ones who did not so much represent the united states as a state or as a political regime, but. that there is such a great free christian country that has no colonies, which does not conduct colonial policies, and is generally practically the best friend of all the oppressed, then after, accordingly, the victory of japan in the russo-japanese war, the topic of japan arises as a non-white, non-christian country that won white christian country, especially, by the way, there was a strong resonance in india, with a maybe we can too, and this went on somewhere in the philippines and so on, that is

- the perception of the states was very dual, triple, i don’t even know, uh, i’ll even find it difficult to say at what point the unambiguous perception of the states as an imperialist power, but in japan, of course, from the end of the second term of teodoro... rosvelt, gunboat diplomacy , all the things when it means that the american flotilla is sailing across the pacific ocean, well then, you know, for some the states, uh, enemy, uh, for some, the states, the nuclear and other umbrellas, that is, it is very difficult to build some kind of single general picture here, i would rather say that the leaders of countries, principled actors, i ’m talking now about the post-war period, leaders of countries see principled actors in

the states have what they need, someone sees in this an ally, a protector of a patron, someone sees an enemy in this, in general, this is the case, of course, when there is an unambiguous answer, well , after all, the states are the guarantor security, but the states are more likely to be guarantors of the status quo, that is like now, maybe it’s not very good, but maybe it’s worse , so, so be it, in general, the states, as a guarantor of the status quo, are perceived in japan, because of course, with the advent of donald trump to the presidency, comrades here tensed up when trump asked if japan even wanted to pay for the nuclear umbrella and, in general , for everything in the republic of korea, as i understand it, the united states. some kind of status about the republic of china in

taiwan is the same, that is, you know, the perception of the states, rather according to the principle, no matter how worse it is, that the interests of the rest of the countries and the region are cooperating with currents, this is a huge problem in terms of the volume of information, but by no means in terms of its significance, this factor occupies a large place in official foreign policy, especially. of course in the republic of korea, well, i’m not talking about kainder, this is generally a separate topic in the people’s republic of china basically, that is, this is such an important moment in domestic political rhetoric, but they remember it either before elections, or at the moment of aggravation of any, say, especially trade contradictions with japan, you know, well, they can’t agree on some specific current trade and economic issues, belaminov begins to remember. and

when they began to be afraid of china. this began after 1949 and not only because it has been since the creation of the people's republic of china, not only because the communist regime appeared in china, but in general because china since 1911, at least for the first time, became a single state, because we will not, as they say, to deceive yourself, after the senhai revolution in 100 on the map the world was drawn like this, which means it was written china , there was no single state, according to the principle of the king of the hill, the government that sat in peking, and then in nanjing received international recognition as a national government, was considered the government of china, and a single china there wasn’t, and accordingly, the first thing, it means a milestone is that china has united, you know, i’ll even say, i don’t know what is more important than many left-liberal anglo-american authors

were considered even a non-communist, so to speak, not a bolshevik, but such a people's, peasant, national leader, that is, the emphasis was placed on the national factor, that a certain nationalist, but not like chenkaishi, that a certain nationalist succeeds as an ally of the soviet union, that china was united by a certain national force, not being anyone’s puppet, but the fact that chunk aishe, an american puppet, frankly speaking , was no secret, as well as the fact that mao zedu is not a soviet puppet, well , i think everyone understood it, and even, especially to the moment of mao’s quarrel with khrushchev, the fact that mao is not an ally of the soviet union , that this is precisely the third force, so i return to what i was talking about, it is accepted in the atlantic

theater, everything seems to be clear there, the ussr, and here the actors much more, this at least introduced fear, not fear, but a certain complexity into this situation, why, for example, in the sixties in japan there was a fairly strong movement for recognition of communist china for the establishment of diplomatic relations with the prc, which were completely non-communist in nature. these were such nationalists and capitalists, pragmatists, realists. who took into account that there is such a country with great economic and trade potential, and that this country is not a vassal of either the united states or the soviet union, and that, in general, it is probably profitable to trade with this country, profitable, maybe even to be, if not very friendly, then at least not to be at enmity, that is, here

the picture was initially more complicated. thank you, we talked with vasily molodyakov. political relations between states are one thing, here is love, well, or not people’s love, it’s completely different, it doesn’t always coincide, having transferred to pekinini’s crazy electric car, this roar of the engines immediately makes you, okay, just turn around and shudder, but it was precisely for the sake of such attention that they saddled brutal iron horses, from which they cut through in the narrow streets of the fashionable art world in the chinese capital, as during a spherical session , a special spirit is summoned, growling, as if the devil is breaking out, and at this moment i am in seventh heaven , because damn it, it’s me i control this colossus, members of the beijing super player club have been playing this symbol of american freedom for more than 10 years, and after barely plunging into the biker world, they discovered america in every sense, i at first

thought that these were russian motorcycles, because i saw how putin rode the same one, only on three wheels. putin is cool, only later did he find out that this is an american motorcycle , although in fact it doesn’t matter whose it is, it’s like an iphone, it no longer has anything to do with the usa, so does harley, it’s already part of our chinese culture. many american things have taken root in the middle kingdom so much that today they are perceived as their own in the country of endless tea ceremonies, clerks everywhere are already rushing to offices with glasses of americana and every 9 out of every 5 there will already be... 9,000 more in the usa itself alone. nowadays it has become fashionable to drink coffee in china. moreover, all of it is grown here, in the south of the country. so war is war, even if it is trade, and lunch is exactly on schedule, and this is a texas burger, or a striploin steak, aka new york. this meat good aroma, it is tender, after

the resumption of beef exports from the usa, the chinese again fell in love with american goods in china, including beef. but they couldn’t refuse burgers here, especially since the diet is no longer a bowl of rice; the chinese, by the way, also prefer to wash it down with cola. for the chinese, coca-cola is more than just a soda, even if it is the most popular in the middle kingdom. their love for it especially manifested itself during the covid lockdowns, when quarantined neighbors wrote to each other in the general chat: i’ll exchange injections for a bank, a computer or even a gaming room, to suit your taste, even the name of the usa, in chinese it sounds like meigo, which means a beautiful country, a survey conducted by the tabloid huangqiubau showed, despite the fact that the absolute majority of chinese do not approve of the official policy of washington, more than half crazy about hollywood sports team movies, especially nba ones. these are shakilo sneakers, yes, they are huge, size fifty-seven. hu-li

himself played in the past and even became the champion of beijing among amateurs, today the owner of a huge collection of mike stars, the road, it was worn by shanon brown, for diligently 10,000 dollars, this jersey is especially important to me from the american league, some cost more than hanging player jerseys, the us flag, nba stars in the middle kingdom are ready to be worn in their arms, the army of fans reaches half a million people , china for the national association is generally the main one for the basketball league, passions on the court, in the stands, like at nba super matches. this is a great game, a fierce battle, i'm very excited. now it's american a game with chinese characteristics, and even the stars invited as guests, although in the spotlight, but even with their growth and popularity are lost against the background of gambling chinese in national costumes, all that remains of the american one is perhaps a dream alexandrelsky, nikolai petrov, especially for international review from china. a terrible

story in south korea, on a conveyor line for sorting peppers, a robotic hand crushed to death a technician who came to check the sensors, the robot mistook the person for a box of vegetables and tore it, reeks of movies techno-horror, stupidity, but this, as they say, is our human right. over the centuries, people have generally greatly improved the methods of self-destruction, but then, of their own free will, a person passes as the master of his own destiny, and not a soulless piece of iron. there is a proposal: to slow down self-destruction, since there are more and more factors beyond our control. and natural , now still man-made, or we won’t even notice how we will all become boxes of vegetables, in the watchful sensors of those who would like to sort us
