Book TV: Martin Jacques: "When China Rules the World"

Martin Jacques argues that unlike over the past two centuries when Western ideas and culture drove our understanding of what was modern, the 21st Century will be driven by Asian influences. He looks at what this will mean in terms of social, economic, and political change. Mr. Jacques spoke at Harvard University.

The world has back to norm.

Ancient China has driven & shaped the world for the past 2000 years.

European ripped off 400 years from us.

Now, we will restore & resume our ancient power.

@Jimmyretired LOL go around other civilizations and enslaving them? Killing off people with diseases? Taking credit for other people's inventions? RIGHT! The irony...

An accurate title for his book would be: "When China partly Rules the World." The US, EU and India are also going to be major players, we're heading towards a multi-polar world.

@Jimmyretired Confucius society is far more civilize than England. White people are responsible for slavery, warfare, and violence. The face of "Evil".

@Rocketeer1001 cause the americans have only been on the top spot for a hundred years, before that it was Europe and then it was China

[Rocketeer1001]

@phalluses Obviously he thinks that way he is a bloody fucking Marxist who will apologise for any of its atrocities.

[Rocketeer1001]

@caonimazibai Ooooo....wowwwwwww......hmmmmm­mm China restoring its ancient power. Holy shit not even the Americans could come up with this one.

@phalluses Well, time will tell. Maybe the Mayan prophecy for the year 2012 really has a strong significance on the change of world events.

[phalluses]

lol at this idiot thinking that for the next 50 years things will progress uninterrupted. He neglect the fact that the West, of course, will not allow this process to progress uninterrupted. WW3 and WW4 will happen before the end of the next 50 years.

it's time to reduce some population on both sides. Time for you to get rid of those Hispanic & black criminal population, get those prisoners on combat zone.

While we will send Uyghurs & Tibetan for you to kill
