It could have went much worse. 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: But we was in the middle of walking through some 8 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: history of the Sino American relations and I looked up 9 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: and was like, Dannus, mother law, let me split this 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: into two. So we're gonna pick up the conversation at 11 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: about nineteen seventy one, and I'm gonna carry the conversation 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: from nineteen seventy one into now. All right, So I'm 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: gonna jump in the past me recording, connecting it to 14 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 2: future me, which is also past you, because they're because 15 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: I recorded this. 16 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Three weeks before you heard it. 17 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: Now fast forward to nineteen seventy one. 18 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Again. 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: Remember I told you it's a person that you looking 20 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: at them and you like, I mean, respect do.

So 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy one, there was the first step in 25 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: maybe possibly like somebody trying to like, you know, if 26 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: you was like, you know what, suld we should go 27 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: have lunch. When you try to tell somebody like you 28 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: know what, let me just let me just let's you 29 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: want to catch a cocktail something like, you're just like listen, man, like, okay, 30 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: it don't have to always be weird. 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm tripping. Let's see what's up right. 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: So the first sign of that was China's ping pong team. 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: They invite members of the US team to China in 34 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: April of nineteen seventy one, and then journalists come the 35 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: accompanying players and it was like, so listen, that's them 36 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 2: being like. 37 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: Hey, bro, you want to I could get a beer 38 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: or something like let's just fresh start, fresh start. 39 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, seen the other guys fresh start or just call 40 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: this the Fabreeze Brothers. 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: New fresh Start. 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: So they're the first Americans allowed to come to China 43 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: since nineteen forty nine. This is in July of nineteen 44 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: seventy one. Henry Kissinger at the time was the Secretary 45 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: of State. He makes this secret trip to China. But 46 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: then shortly after the United Nations recognized the People's Republic 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: of China with its permanent Security Council seat that had 48 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: been held by Shang Kai Chek's Republic of China since 49 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: nineteen forty five. Now confusing, let me remind you what happened. 50 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: Maling them defeated Shang Kai Shek and Shang Kai Shek, 51 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 2: the national public are the ones that left and made Taiwan. 52 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: You got me, okay. 53 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: The UN finally puts some respect on China's name. China's like, 54 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: thank you. Then it gets real weird when Nixon goes 55 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy two. He spends eight days in China. 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: Nixon at the time, it's one of those things where 57 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: you like, you know, at the time, this felt like 58 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 2: a good idea. 59 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: So he meets with Chairman Mao. Right, this communist, communist dude. 60 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: Now, remember he could at this moment in Nixon's career, 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: he can afford to, you know, make some gambles. So 62 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: he signs the Shanghai Communique right with the premiere over there, 63 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: and it sets the stage to try to improve our relations. 64 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: So it's like, it don't always got to be weird 65 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: when we see each other. Right, let's discuss the difficulties, 66 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: particularly Taiwan, but normalization of those relations between the two countries, 67 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: it just never really work out. Now, y'all remember when 68 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: we was talking about Israel and Palestine what normalization means. 69 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: Remember we talk about like basically saying like I see you, right, 70 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: And that was most of the Arab nations were trying 71 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: to tell the world, like, don't do this with Israel, 72 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 2: Like if you do this, it's gonna be a problem 73 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: with everybody. Don't recognize them, meaning you treat them just 74 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: like a nation would treat any other nation. Obviously, we 75 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: have a position, as you saw from day one. We 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 2: like the Taiwanese. We liked them as a country. We 77 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: think yo, like Doc, if they want to bounce, let 78 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: them bounce like they doing anything Like, I don't understand 79 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: what your problem is. But like I said, when you 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: looking at two sides having an argument that are related, 81 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 2: you can't just be taking no position if you don't 82 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: know the history, you ain't been around here long enough. 83 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: You just decided. Because of this, I'm speaking from China's perspective. Now, 84 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: I know you may feel like because of the way 85 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: that I'm speaking of this, that I'm on China's side. 86 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: Nothing can be further from the truth. I listen, I'm 87 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: a square. Would come to this like when it come 88 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: to like think of it like this, when it comes 89 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 2: to cribs, bloods, I'm a Filipino. Like there's like nigga, 90 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: that's y'all's thing. If we're talking Mexican and Southadorian, I'm 91 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: a black dude, Like that's y'all. Like, I'm not in it. 92 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to trying to give y'all some personifications 93 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: out this book. So anyway, Nixon, like, Yo, we at 94 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: some point we got to talk about this because fast 95 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: forward to now. You know, Taiwan makes all of the 96 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 2: chips inside of all of our smart devices, all the 97 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: way down to your door. Nigga, your dishwasher because the thermostat, 98 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: cho phone, nigga, did every your vacuum, Nigga, anything that's 99 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: got an LED screen got a chip in it, and 100 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: it's made in Taiwan. So you know, in some senses, 101 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: we were pretty smart to try to stay nice to them. Anyway, 102 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: So now formal ties are made. You fast forward to 103 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine with President Carter, he grats China full 104 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: diplomatic recognition while acknowledging that mainlands China one China principle 105 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: and serving normal ties to Chaiwan. So basically what Jimmy 106 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: Carter tries to do is basically have his cake and 107 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: eat it too. He tried to do both. He trying 108 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: to have his main and his side, and he wants 109 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: them to both get along. So by saying, Okay, I'm 110 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: gonna grant China full diplomatic, I'm gonna recognize you, you 111 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: full diplomat. 112 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: You good over here, everybody good. 113 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: But China itself is like, okay, cool, So then you 114 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: understand what we mean by one China, which basically one China's, 115 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: One China policy is basically saying, Taiwan's China, You're not 116 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: your own thing, You're just you're us. But before that, 117 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: while we never really wanted to like officially jump in 118 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: with China, was because we don't agree that that's not 119 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: true if you're telling me it's all or nothing, like 120 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: we trying to be like in the eighties. My name 121 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: is Bennett and I ain't in it, but at the 122 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: same time I kind of need both of y'all. Right. 123 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: So then shortly after in April, the Congress approves the 124 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: Taiwan Relations Act right, allowing continued commercial and cultural relations 125 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 2: with the United States and Taiwan. So basically like, I 126 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: don't want that beef. I don't want the smoke, but 127 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: I do want I do want the products. I want 128 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: to keep making this money. Like we ain't got to 129 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: get along. I'm not gonna look that beef you got 130 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: in mind, nigga, Like I'm not finna. You know when 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: your ops come, nigga, those are your ops. But we 132 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: can make this money. And then Taiwan like, well, I 133 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: mean what you mean my ops, nigga? My ops are 134 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: China and you just said you're cool with them. So 135 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: I don't. 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, what's really good, bro? Like 137 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: what we really talking about? 138 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: Right? And America like, man, shut up and cast this 139 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: check I'm giving you, you know, shut up and take 140 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: these tanks, nigga, Like I don't understand what your problem is. 141 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: Now. Fast forward to the Reagan era. 142 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: Reagan administration gives these things called the Six Assurances to Taiwan. 143 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: Reagan is like, this is the shut up and take 144 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: take your money thing, right, And they said we're including 145 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: that we will always honor the Taiwan Relations Act. Right, 146 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: we not go on mediate between that again. We're not 147 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: gonna get in between us. That shit you got between 148 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: you and China. That's between y'all. I promise to never 149 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: do that. And we're gonna set a date right to 150 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: terminate our sales of weapons to Taiwan, and then they 151 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: so then he signs it in nineteen eighty two with 152 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: the People's Republic of China, which officially normalizes the relations. Right. Basically, 153 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: we trying to date sisters, you understand what I'm saying, 154 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 2: and we just want every sister to be cool with 155 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: each other right now. Throughout this whole thing, Reagan keeps 156 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: voicing support and stronger ties with Taiwan, right, and his 157 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: administration is also building or hoping to improve relationships with Beijing, 158 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 2: which is China at the height of the US concerns 159 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 2: with the Soviet expansionism, because you got to remember, all 160 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: that President Reagan was worried about was fuck Russia. 161 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: He's his fear is like, I can't have Russia having friends. 162 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 2: So if you China, you know that, I think you 163 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: only being cool with us because you don't like our 164 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: big homie, So you just trying to keep us on 165 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: your side. 166 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: But little do you know, won't really like our big 167 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: homie either. This is just this shit is functional. 168 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: And then in June, the US government permits Beijing to 169 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: make purchases of military equipment.

We was over 340 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: here creeping on a cut again from China's perspective, we 341 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 2: just allway here creeping on a come up, and you 342 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: just salting the game. You just being a hater, like 343 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 2: only you're only investing in here so that we don't 344 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 2: be on top. 345 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: And it's like this shit is weird at this point. Now. 346 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 2: So one of those things is President Obama announces this 347 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: sort of free trade agreement and plans to send twenty 348 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: five hundred marines into Australia, right because Yo, we're about 349 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: to do a Transpacific partnership, right, multinational free trade agreement. 350 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: Man, let's all make this money. 351 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: And that was that pivot right in Beijing, Like nigga, 352 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 2: you think I don't know what you're doing. Twenty twelve, 353 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: it gets real weird. US has a trade deficit with China. 354 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: Rights it goes up to two hundred and seventy three 355 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 2: point one billion dollars in twenty ten and all time 356 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: increase right since twenty eleven. At this point, the United States, 357 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: the EU, and Japan file a request for consultations with 358 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: China at the World Trade Organization over its restricting on 359 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: exporting of rare earth medals. What was China doing, Nigga 360 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: getting ready for this chip shit? The United States and 361 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 2: its allies contend that China's quota violates international trade norms, 362 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 2: en forcing multinational firms that use these medals to relocate 363 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: to China. China calls the move rash and unfair, while 364 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: vowing to defend its rights in trade disputes. 365 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Now, I just obviously that sounds like I was reading 366 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: because I was. Now, let me tell you what that means. 367 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: China was like, oh shit, we have something that the 368 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: future absolutely needs in the stage rare metals. What if 369 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: we don't send them to you? You see that long 370 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: pause that if you want to participate in the future, 371 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: like I don't know, iPhones, electric cars, solar panels, you 372 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: just gonna have to move your factory here because we're 373 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: not sending it. America and everybody else was like, hey, 374 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: you can't do that. You see how we never agree 375 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: on shit, and China like, Nigga is our earth. It 376 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 2: did come out the ground here, we can we can 377 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 2: decide what we're gonna export or not export. They like, 378 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: that's not fair, Fan, you creating an unfair thing. And 379 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: China was like, China could be like, well, you know, 380 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: neither was slavery. 381 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: Uh. So there's that. 382 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: Now fast forward to twenty twelve, China got this new leadership. 383 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: This is the eighteenth National Party of Congress.

They're not college students. Their engineers from this company, 479 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: this Chinese company. And then they're asking questions, Yo, but 480 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: when you did this, then how did it come up 481 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: with this? And the only way to answer the question 482 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 2: from them kids air quote kids is to just tell 483 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: you the trade secrets. The reason I noticed is because 484 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: the FBI did this or the CIA did a sting 485 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 2: on it.

And then eventually, you know, they 491 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: fly you out for ten g's, then they fly your 492 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 2: wife out. Then they say, hey, just come kick it. 493 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. We'll just go get a beer. 494 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: And then you know what I'm saying, you want to 495 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 2: do a vacation, you feel me?
