Kishore Mahbubani is a renowned diplomat, scholar, and one of the most insightful analysts of global power dynamics. He served as Singapore’s Ambassador to the United Nations and as President of the UN Security Council, and is the author of books including "Has China Won?" and "Has the West Lost It?"Mahbubani joins Current Affairs to explain why the United States is losing ground to China--not because of Chinese aggression, but because of internal dysfunction, elite failure, and strategic incoherence. He critiques the emotional, zero-sum mindset dominating U.S. foreign policy and calls for a more rational, cooperative approach to global affairs.🌏 Follow Kishore on Twitter: https://x.com/mahbubani_k🌏 Buy Kishore's Books: https://mahbubani.net/books/0:00-3:57 The Good News3:57- 6:54 Why Americans Fear China6:54-9:51 The Failure of American Elites9:51-15:31 Why Trump Should Work With China15:31-21:38 Is China Communist?21:38-23:37 Is America The Best Model?23:37-27:14 Does America Think Strategically?27:14-30:08 America's Wasteful Defense Spending30:08-35:15 America's Strategic Errors35:15-41:17 America's Disdain for the UN41:17-46:17 The Potential For Cooperation🦩SUBSCRIBE TO CURRENT AFFAIRS MAGAZINE: https://www.currentaffairs.org/membership🦩 PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/CurrentAffairs🦩THE MYTH OF AMERICAN IDEALISM: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738224/the-myth-of-american-idealism-by-noam-chomsky-and-nathan-j-robinson/
