Asia vs. the West

For two centuries Asians have largely been bystanders in world history, reacting to surges of Western commerce, thought, and power.

Now former United Nations Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani -- whom Foreign Policy magazine ranked as one of the top 100 public intellectuals in the world -- declares that era is over and the West must embrace rather than resist this structural shift.

@Samhiuys Oh, right. It's OUR fault you couldn't contribute to science nowhere near to what we did because we stole all your resources. Yes, that's the reason why you couldn't advance like us. You know how stupid and uneducated that sounds? And our science was only influenced by the East during the earliest days. That was thanks to mainly the Arabs and others in that area and some in East Asia, but other than that, our science WOULD still be the great. Stop praising w/o evidence that's not there

@MagicalHax0r

No pride?? I'll make you take that back? You know what? I'm going to be a political leader. You are a total dumbass. You're probably one of those that have SUPERIOR COMPLEX OR WHITE SUPREMACY. You guys are the most biased shitass humans on Earth. Yeah yeah, but without Eastern influences you think your Science will still be that great? Are you blind? And thanks to you stealing all our resources, we couldn't contribute as much. It doesn't mean we're inferior. Fucktard

@MagicalHax0r

Oh really? In the past, I'm sure Chinese history is superior than the West history. You don't know Chinese history is a lot greater than the West history. You guys were fucking religious dumbasses, do you really know history? You think you people are that influential? OMFG, most of the things aren't invented by you dumbasses. Go get the fuck out you stupid Westerner.

@MagicalHax0r

the West have been superior??? LMFAO!!! FUCK YOU, go study HISTORY FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT. The West is influencial because you guys are fucking racist and all you do is invading other countries to steal resources. There are lots of Eastern influences, also without our influences you fucking westerners won't be as you are currently. Your economy and all the things you say you people invented.

Get out fucking Westerner.

Not listening(watching) to this video. Listening to some guy from SIngapore is like listening to some guy from Germany's mid 20th century nazi party, like listening to a guy speaking for the post ww2 USA empire, etc
