Yellen's accusation that having a successful industrial policy is somehow "cheating" is simply an admission that capitalism is a failed system.

Yellen used the phrase “surplus capacities” for EVs, solar energy, batteries. China’s response is that there is no surplus capacities relative to the world demands for all of these goods. The world needs more affordable EVs, batteries and solar energy.

Waging economic war on China is a stupid idea and a losing battle. China and Russia have demonstrated profusely that the way to peace is through comprehensive international trade. So America just struggles along with its competitive capitalist model until we drive ourselves into the ground.

The current mode of the globalization started with the political decision of the United States to stimulate the economic development of Japan so that it become a counterbalance to the Soviet Union and China in the East. As a result, the custom taxes were removed in the United States on the import of several industrial products from Japan notably textiles and consumer electronics. The results were impressive. Japan did propel in its economic development, with the standard of living significantly being improved. Simultaneously, cheap, diligent and industrious Japanese labour ensured, in the labour intensive industries, the very low production costs which benefited the US consumers. Most importantly, the corporations involved enjoyed huge profits .
When the salaries in Japan increased, the profits from the labour intensive industries declined. To maintain the profit or the corporations and the flow of cheap import of consumer goods to US, the new pattern of globalization was extended to so called five Asian tigers. The taxes on their export were decreased or removed. As in case of Japan, many industries including garment, textile and consumer electronics moved to those countries. Again, with the rise of labour cost in Asian Tigers, this process was repeated with the inclusion of some other countries, particularly, ASEAN economies and then China and India.
Everybody seemed to be happy. The new trend of globalization was eventually legalized in WTO agreements. But there were many seemingly unexpected side effects. Although, many developing economies, mentioned above, and even some developed countries like Germany have benefited from the globalization many other nations and their people have not been so fortunate. For instance, Arab countries, which are not oil producers, were not able to successfully compete in the new open economic environment. Their agriculture has been also damaged by the opening to the highly subsidized agricultural import from developed countries. Resulting deteriorating living conditions was the most important cause of the Arab spring . Similar results of the globalization are evident in many countries in Africa and the Latin America. This trigged many military conflicts in and the waves of immigrants from Africa , the Middle East and Latin America to developed countries both in Europe and America
The global elite which has gained tremendously from the globalization is not worry of the plight of developing countries and their people. The immigration is even beneficial to the corporation as it allows to suppress the labour cost in the developed countries. But there have been others unexpected results. Most importantly, with many industries being moved from developed to developing countries, it appears impossible to maintain the level of life the people enjoyed in the second half of the last century in developed countries. Everywhere, the real incomes are going down , people have to pay more and more for the medical care and the education. The discontent is growing all over the wold resulting in backlash against the current economic system.
It may be useful to recall that the initial wealth accumulation in the developed world started with the colonization and slavery. Then, it was discovered, that it was much more profitable to import cheap natural resources from developing countries, make value addition through manufacturing and then export back the product at very high price. So called the ceases of prices brought to the developed world even more wealth than the inhuman colonialism. As wealth was created within the countries, it was sheared between the elite and people. This ensured social and economic stability.
As many wealth producing industries move from developed countries, there was a hope that the service and financial sectors became the back bone of their economies. However, the current development seems to support the view that the financial and service sectors only create wealth when they are the integral part of the real economy while the financial manipulations and speculations only increase the number of billionaires and the shear of the financial sector in GDP. The fiat currency capital has appeared to not sufficiently trickle down to the real economy to support sustainable development. Neither it has trickled down to the ordinary people with the wealth gap growing all over the wold.
With the shortage of the wealth generated nationally it has been compensated by increasing debt. To stimulate the national economy , maintain the standard of living and purchasing power of the population and produce the public goods the governments at all levels and as well as the people have to use more and more borrowing. In some smaller cases, the some national or local debt problems seems possible to be resolved through austerity but there is no much understanding what to do when much bigger countries, states or segments of population are involved. For instant, only US government has accumulated two trillion US$ and does not anything to resolve the problem.
There was also a hope that the wealth continued to go to the developed world attracted by the financial centers , tax havens or real estate opportunities. It works but money flow again appears to be insufficient to support the current standard of living and sustain the economic development. Moreover, it is not clear what would happen to this inflows in case of a serious crises.
A part of the elite continues to be fully satisfied with the current model of the globalization. This part represents the transnational financial and other global corporations addicted to the profit maximization at any cost. Their CEOs depend on the today's profit for their positions and benefits. Their shareholders are looking to maximize the profit now. These people are not capable to look into the future. The other part of the elite, mostly family owned , is worried of the deteriorating social and economic conditions and the rise of the alternative political forces, both right and left. Most frustrating to the elite is the fact that one of the major results of the globalization has been tremendous shift of the real wealth producing manufacturing industries to China.and the rise in political, economic and ideological strength of the communist China
Consequently, the later part of the elite, wants to change the current globalization model and return the wealth producing manufacturing machine back from China and other developing economies. They already have great election successes in US and UK under slogans “America first” and “ UK first”. They also like to review the current economic agreements including those under WTO which so greatly benefited China. These above election victories and the followed actions met with strong resistance from the other part of the elite addicted to the short term profit. This represents a great split of the elite which makes the whole current capitalist economic system weaker.
Most likely, it is now impossible to contain China economically even with igniting a trade war as it is already equally strong and in little more than fifteen years China would be two times economically stronger than US. Unfortunately, there might be a desire of the most extreme part of the elite to contain China military. China is now much weaker military then US not speaking of NATO plus Japan. However, China has nuclear deterrence which makes any military conflict absolutely dangerous. Furthermore, Russian military power is still formidable and its position will be crucial in any military confrontation. Combined military power of China and Russia puts them at least on equal foot with US and its potential allies.
After the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union the West discarded Russia as a political or military power and consider it as a devoted Western puppet. It totally ignored the political and economic interests of Russia and actively promoted Russophobia in the former Soviet Republics and beyond. Actually, the Russian establishment which transferred to the West at list one trillion US$ would have been happy to become a part of the global elite. Majority of Russian oligarch moved to the West and even changed their citizenships. However, they all were treated as second class people and were threatened with confiscation and even imprisonment. Not surprisingly, a part of the Russian establishment had become patriotic. When they decided to protect Russian interests the West tried to use its economic power to force it to comply with the West orders. Ironically, anti Russian position of the West including the NATO encirclement of the Russian borders and the economic and political sanctions and pressure had the effect quite opposite to the West expectations and pushed Russia closer to China in all areas. Ideologically, however, China and Russia are on the different sides , especially as Russian Establishment abandoned socialism. So, there are some voices in the West calling for the reload of Russia -West relation in a hope that Russia distances itself from China. However, because of the continuation of the chaotic and unfriendly policy towards Russian it will continue to move closer to China in the near future. It gives China sufficient time to overcame any attempts to its economic and especially military containment.

One word: fear. Fear is the only reason the U.S. waged an economic war to contain China. And the economic war spread to finance and technology and ultimately it became a total war against the Chinese nation.
When tariffs failed, technology sanctions followed. When both tariffs and sanctions failed, de-coupling became the buzzword. And when de-coupling was found to hurt the U.S. economy more than China's, it was changed to de-risking which in effect means a "slow de-coupling" until a more appropriate time -- not to mention the now very famous "national security" risk/concern. And now, fear has invaded European minds and the Europeans want to adopt the American low-life tactics.
Twenty years ago, American muscle cars and reliable Japanese cars plus reputable German, French and Swedish cars and even newbies from South Korea were selling like hot cakes in the Chinese market and each and every maker made a fortune in China. Nowadays, however, the U.S. has no hope of selling anything to China -- not only industrial products but also agricultural produce which are easily replaced by many other countries around the globe. Sooner or later, the world will be divided into 2 camps: one that embraces worldwide integration and the other a closed economy that fears competition. The acceleration of the de-dollarization movement will speed up the divide even further, to the point that it may break the world monetary system in half.
Perhaps the "coming collapse of China" can somehow soothe the overwhelming anxiety of the West?

Just wanted to drop a note to thank both of you - Michael and Rhadika - you have been an incredible source of truthful information helping me to reach a point where I feel that I now understand geopolitics more fully - not understand the economics behind politics has been my blindspot I realise and now everything seems to make sense. I have listened to all of your videos on Spotify and have been blown away by how ignorant I have been. Understanding the history of the political economy and its impact in today's politics is so important, it can't be emphased enough. It is not an easy topic to get your head around but you have explained the elements very well. I am recommending your channel to all of my friends - keep up the invaluable work - we need more people like you - honest, principled, hard working and crucial critical voices in economic discourse. All the best from France.

As an economist, I have a quibble with what Prof. Desai says at 1:01:05 to the effect that industrial policy has only been effective in non-capitalist ruling class contexts. What about the large industrial conglomerates in South Korean (the chaebol)? What about the post-war industrial policy of Japan? Weren't the "Asian Tigers" success a result of industrial policies?

that now controls around 70% of available resources on this Planet.
The West now notice their profits are diminishing daily as the effects of the former Colonies trading among their Peers,
offers more profits to the entire group that BRICS has assembled.
As the US applies sanctions to the trade within the BRICS Group,
they appear to encourage even more Nations to join BRICS.
Nigeria now appears to be asking to become a partner in that assembly.

Cacophemism is a word or expression that's generally perceived as harsh, impolite, or offensive, although it may be used in a humorous context. It is similar to dysphemism, and a contrast with euphemism. Etymology is from the Greek, "bad" plus "speech".

The main challenge to the US reindustrializing is the neoliberal system itself. Reindustrializing might make the US more secure and competitive but it makes less profits per dollar of capital invested. That alone will freeze up any attempts to rebuild the US into a normal country instead of a rentier country.

@~32:00, Re: drones and naval warfare.
Fun fact, like drones today, torpedoes had a similar effect on naval warfare around 1900. The massive and extremely expensive capital ships that were the backbone of major navies were suddenly in danger of obsolescence and being sunk by swarms of small, fast, and cheap torpedo boats. Torpedoe boat destroyers(we just call them destroyers now) were invented to be able to chase down and destroy the tornado boats before they could get close enough to attack the big battleships.

36:19 Richard Wolf says that the US economy is over $20 trillion. He says the Chinese economy is over $15 trillion. Could it be the United States economy is so high because everything is overpriced? That said, who produces more? Does the United States produce more, or China? If China produces more, then the United States economy is overpriced.

To increase demand, one needs to improve the fiscal well being of the masses. To improve the fiscal well being of the masses, one needs to spread the wealth more evenly and fairly. That means the one must reduce exploitation of the masses and stop feeding to their own greed. Self-control and greed are only punchlines for the rich and powerful.

Okay, since there is overcapacity. So we will use Chinese products to replace Apple phones, Tesla, American fuel powered cars, chips above 14 nanometers, General Electric gas turbines, Boeing regional planes, high-end chemical products, GPS satellite navigation systems, and American consumer drones. Are all of these reasonable? You see, the United States says we have overcapacity, so it's reasonable for us to choose domestic products in the domestic market. These things add up to over 1.8 trillion US dollars annually.

Unfortunately for the US, you can't have innovation when you have insane debt weighing all of its citizens down and you don't provide education all the way through college. When higher education is a pay to play scenario and is for profit, you will never keep innovation going.

I should point out that the USA does not house the majority of users on TikTok. So, if the US bans it, TikTok will continue without US creators and consumers.

If and when TikTok is banned, I would imagine that TikTok is still existing in the servers outside of the USA and it is still accessible from within the USA. Then the question is: would the US government build a great firewall to fence out TikTok so that TikTok can’t be accessed from within the US, or it would arrest people who have accessed TikTok by spying their IP addresses ……?

The United States have been making their people poorer and poorer with wars, inflation and so forth. China has actually been working for decades to help their people and also connect with the world to build a better world for fair trade but United States just goes around and enforces sanctions or fight more wars. It’s never ending .

Been loving the coverage of China so far! One quibble re the 'frontiers' of the economy such as Green Energy and AI...
Those are industries riddled with junk thinking and literally faked economics. In some cases the "AI" is just warehouses of slave laborers in India. Green Energy is riddled with industry-sponsored "science" such as Rotational Grazing (for cows), carbon credits, and solar financing schemes. My suggestion is to be very cynical about the promises and skeptical about the economics too. China is just following US markets by repeating the term "AI" on conference calls to boost their share prices (making their access to capital cheaper).
