| 1/25/26 | ![]() End of Hypocritical 'Rules-Based Order'?: In China Visit & Davos Speech, Canada Breaks with USA | Join Daniel Dumbrill (Canadian in China) and Ben Norton (American journalist in China) as they react to and analyze Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's groundbreaking visit to China and his explosive speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Carney admits the "rules-based international order" was always hypocritical and exploitative, marking Canada's strategic pivot away from US dominance in the face of Trump's annexation threats. From Chongqing China, we dive into: - Carney's talks with President Xi on boosting trade and diversification. - The admission that middle powers profited from US imperialism—until they became targets. - US aggression against allies like Canada, Greenland, and Europe. - The dawn of a multipolar world: Could this signal the end of US hegemony? - Opportunities for the Global South amid this imperial disruption. Our unique viewpoints as Westerners in China offer fresh insights on geopolitics, economic shifts, and global realignments. #CanadaChina #MarkCarney #Davos #Geopolitics #BenNorton #USHegemony | — | ||||||

| 12/14/25 | ![]() The Multipolar World is Here: Why Europe’s Getting Sidelined | Arnaud Bertrand on China’s Gravity | In a rapidly shifting global landscape, the unipolar era dominated by the West is crumbling, giving way to a multipolar world where China's economic and technological "gravity" pulls nations—especially in the Global South—into its orbit. But where does this leave Europe, trapped in outdated alliances and self-sabotaging policies?Join us as we dive deep into Arnaud Bertrand's groundbreaking essay, "China’s Gravitational Centrality: The Logic of Success in a Multipolar World," published in Horizons magazine's Autumn 2025 issue. This piece masterfully unpacks how structural forces like geography, demographics, and raw economic mass trump rhetoric and ideology, drawing on historical insights from Jesuit missionaries to modern examples like ASEAN's pragmatism, the SCO's vast influence, and Argentina's President Javier Milei's ideological flip for practical gains.After a reading of the article, Arnaud himself joins the conversation to expand on these ideas. We explore fresh updates, like the Nexperia debacle—where the Dutch reversed their US-mandated seizure after a Sino-American deal left Europe "holding the bag." Discover why China's "reality-first" soft power—rooted in ancient philosophy and actions over words—outshines Western narratives, and how events like the US "mask off" moment in Gaza are accelerating the shift. Arnaud shares bold advice for Europe to reclaim sovereignty, critiques the revived Monroe Doctrine in the latest US National Security Strategy, and forecasts multipolarity's evolution by 2030.This eye-opening discussion reveals why the world is tilting eastward, how propaganda backfires, and what a systemic, yin-yang approach means for global power dynamics. If you're fascinated by geopolitics, China's renaissance, or the West's decline, this is essential viewing.Subscribe to this channel for more videos like these.

| 12/19/24 | ![]() The Fall of Assad: Decoding the Syrian Crisis with Ben Norton | Join us for an insightful conversation with Ben Norton, the founder and editor-in-chief of Geopolitical Economy Report, as we delve into the complexities of the Syrian crisis, understanding its evolution, the players involved, and the repercussions that have shaped the region. Here's what you'll learn:Historical Context: We explore how the Syrian conflict evolved from its beginnings, involving key international actors like Russia, the US, and Turkey, and how it fits into broader geopolitical strategies, including the infamous list of seven countries to be destabilized post-9/11.The Role of External Powers: Norton explains the involvement of the US, Israel, and Turkey, highlighting motives ranging from countering Iranian influence to securing strategic geopolitical advantages. The discussion includes the controversial arming of so-called "moderate rebels" by the CIA and the paradoxical relationship between Israel and Al-Qaeda affiliates.Economic and Humanitarian Impact: The conversation sheds light on how economic sanctions have crippled Syria, leading to hyperinflation, poverty, and massive refugee crises. The strategic use of these sanctions as a weapon of war is critically examined.Internal Dynamics: We discuss the internal corruption, exacerbated by economic warfare, the military's morale issues due to low pay, and the role of corruption in the government's fall.

| 5/28/24 | ![]() Dan Duggin - Breaking Info: The US Punishes Their Unwilling Australian Asset & His Family, New Details | Today Robert Barwick (Research Director Australian Citizens Party) and I discuss surprising new details on how Daniel Duggan was set up by the US Security Services and ASIO. Dan is an Australian citizen who has been locked up in solitary confinement for over 18 months while the US tries to extradite him, despite his case not meeting the basic requirements under Australian Law. Under the request of the US government, Australia has also prohibited his wife from selling their property to fund his defence. New details have emerged that have made the US' case against Dan even more absurd. When wrapped up in the context of what's happened to other Australians, like Journalist Julian Assange and Whistleblower David McBride, Australia is on a troubling downward spiral.Watch the video version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/FagDmN3IHBgYou can follow Robert/The Citizens Party on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@CitizensPartyAU and on X @RobbieBarwickYou can support Dan Duggan here: https://chuffed.org/project/109154-dan-duggan-extradition-legal-fundWatch the 60 Minutes episode on Dan Duggan here: https://youtu.be/YTi7Lw6wTXU | — | ||||||
