    You’ve only mentioned sino American relations, differences in economy, and history. There’s absolutely no emphasis in this vid on anything relative to what’s actually going on btwn both countries today lmao. You never mentioned:
    1. Why Trump began a trade war specifically with China.
    2. How each stage unraveled.
    3. What effects it has on the global economy.
    4. The importance of G2 relations in 21st century.
    Uhh none of these important aspects were brought up at all so like… I don’t understand how this video is relevant to the current US-China conflict, beside it only being a brief take on both countries economic systems and diplomatic history.

        This is a good and informative video, but she’s right tho…u don’t bring up any of those points which r crucial to understanding the trade war. Bruh maybe consider doing more research on us-china relations

          I am discussing the bigger picture. I am aiming to provide historical context for the axis and arc of geopolitical tensions, not the specific views of one president. Thank you for your comment.

            Yes, although like I said, I am trying to discuss the bigger picture. I am aiming to provide historical context for the axis and arc of geopolitical tensions.

    If us-china geopolitical tensions are what you’re trying to discuss, you should’ve also explained Asia’s political atmosphere…for ex, china’s ties with taiwan, india, japan/korea, etc. and how conflicts with those countries impact G2 relations. Those should’ve been addressed
