In an insightful look at international politics, Mahbubani shares a three-part strategy that Western governments can use to recover power and improve relations with the rest of the world.

Asia : Exists
Westerners : AsIA Is RiSInG
@Maximvs Dread you’re wrong. So many inventions came from the east that the Europeans adopted which helped the west dominate the world. You live in a bubble if you think cultures don’t influence one another. If you want to take credit for the scientific method, go ahead. The Asians will take the scientific method to another scale.
Thank you
@Elevator, The only thing that the east gave the west was ‘The Mongolian Horde, Bubonic Plague and Gunpowder. We had to invent walls, penicillin and the Second Amendment. When you say the Asians will take the scientific method to another scale do you mean like Unit 731 or, prisoner organ harvesting or the one child law? You make Joseph Mengele look like a philanthropist. Oh oh oh, maby you mean reverse engineering everything? Here’s a concept Asians should adopt ‘HUMAN RIGHTS’
@Maximvs Dread you probably didn’t bother with history during your school years. Babylonians, Assyrians, ancient Egypt, Persian empire, the Phoenicians, the Arab golden age. Here some topics for you to look up. The Greeks (who are the absolute base of the Western civilization along with Rome) acknowledged the impact most of these cultures had on them. But here you are now, 2500 years later, claiming the opposite
@Petros. Bruh. I have more documentaries on the subject than you can shake a stick at. From the 1950s all the way up to the 2000s. Western Philosophy, Pericles, 12 Tables, Cincinnatus, etc,etc,etc, Would you care to impress me with telling me what the beef between Ovid and Octavian was? There is a correlation with todays problems in the west. Lets see if you can make the connection. Thanks for the advise though I won’t be needing it personally.
Hi I from Indonesia, South East Asia…good idea minimalism…thank you TED, I love 95% of your video post….It’s Inspiring…
Re-upload?
Empires arise when they discover consummery (free markets) They go to sleep when they get bloated.
You mean consumerism?
Like how there are too many $1000+ phones and now everyone is just buying mid range phones every 2 years?
Watch on 1.25 speed
thank you
Lmao
1.5 is better
There’s something to learn from this man’s rhethorical manner: the cadence draws you in, and every sentence has weight. Also helps tremendously as a workaround for a thick accent. But yes, if you only want the content, you can watch him comfortably at 1.25-1.5.

Multilateral, the eastern globalism?
isn’t Chinas economy manly exports?
In 2018, exports had accounted for about 18.24% of China’ GDP. It was 31.65% back in 2008.
They are the world’s manufacturing hub thanks to the West. They even make some of our military gear lol.
So far it seems like the West, esp US, cannot come to term with China’s rise.
“cold war victory”
best joke ive ever heard.
you stole my comment!
Fukuyama is shot when he lays on the bed.
You rise only to fall someday. Cycle of life.
A journalist once asked Gandhi what he thought of Western civilization. “I think it would be a good idea”, was the reply.
Speaker seems to have a very nostalgic view of the West which advancement came through centuries of murder and enslavement of the indigenous peoples, cultures, and a Eurocentric worldview that natural ecosystems, non-Europeans, and other sentient life solely exist to be exploited for profit. This was never a notion that could be sustained for long in historical terms.
Seems like half the commenters didn’t watch the video before they left an angry message.. Great Talk Mr Mahubani!
He’s right accept he doesnt even mention the corporate take over of government. The US doesnt create these wars to help the middle east. It’s all about corporate money…
Wise words mixed with fallacies.
