Description

Professor Jeffrey Sachs discusses the US and China possibly heading to war over Taiwan. While the US is increasingly committing itself to Taiwan's secession, China has linked the issue to its historical memory of the Century of Humiliation. With neither side willing to make concessions, Taiwan would be the likely trigger for a war between the two superpowers.

I can’t imagine a better person on today’s world that deserves more the Nobel Peace Prize than Professor Sachs.

We Taiwanese see through this US geopolitical game. We also saw what happened to Ukraine. We want peace not war.

Everytime the US decides to " help" a country, arm it and " liberate" it from a "dictatorship" ...the country ends devastated in all possible ways

99% of US people do not have such history knowledge. They are living in their own world. What they actually believe is power and hegemony.
