What you just heard was a statement made by Chinese venture capitalist and political scientist Eric Lee at a forum in Croatia 6 years ago in 2019. 6 years have passed and it is now 2025.

Second, why he compared the Europe of that era to a sinking Titanic. And third, what alternative China was offering to a world that was already becoming disordered.
