Interviews

The United States has just released one of the most radical National Security Strategies in decades — and almost no one is talking about what it really means. Trump’s new NSS is not just a policy document. It’s a blueprint for a completely different American role in the world: less global, more hemispheric, more internally focused, and openly skeptical of Europe’s trajectory. In this GVS Deep Dive, we unpack the full strategy: • Why the Western Hemisphere is now America’s primary theater • How the new “Trump Corollary” revives the Monroe Doctrine for the 21st century • What it means for China, Taiwan, and Indo-Pacific stability • Why India is elevated as the key Asian counterweight • Why Europe is described as facing “civilizational decline” • How the NSS reframes immigration, borders, culture, and industry as national security • And what this shift means for U.S. power in the next decade This is the strategy that will shape America’s posture, alliances, and conflicts for years — and its consequences will reach Beijing, Brussels, New Delhi, and beyond. Watch the full explanation to understand how the global map has just changed. #globalpolitics #geopolitics #Trump #NationalSecurity #China #India #Taiwan #Europe #GVSDeepDive #Geopolitics #Trump #NationalSecurity #China #India #Taiwan #USPolitics #WorldNews #ForeignPolicy #GVSDeepDive #GlobalOrder #MonroeDoctrine #EuropeCrisis #IndoPacific Do give your comments below.

This Changes Everything: Trump’s New National Security Strategy Just Reset the World
Japan just triggered one of the most important financial shocks of the decade — and the Western media still hasn’t understood what actually happened. While headlines focused on Tokyo’s political clash with China, the real earthquake hit global markets: a yen surge, a carry-trade unwind, and a liquidity shock that sent U.S. tech giants sliding. In this GVS Deep Dive, we break down how Japan’s domestic policy shift — not China, not the Fed — destabilised the U.S. market. The yen strengthened, the carry trade cracked, and suddenly Wall Street’s biggest companies, from Nvidia to Amazon, were hit by a wave of forced selling. The AI infrastructure boom, built on cheap Western capital, now faces the harsh reality of rising Asian monetary power. This story isn’t about chaos. It’s about Asia reclaiming financial influence after decades of Western dominance. Japan is no longer exporting deflation. China is no longer absorbing the shocks of the global system. Asia’s monetary choices now move the world — and American markets are learning that in real time. If you want to understand the new global financial order, and why the next decade will be shaped not in Washington but in Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul, Singapore and Riyadh, this video breaks it down clearly and analytically. Welcome to the era where Asian currencies, Asian liquidity, and Asian central banks decide the pace of the global economy. 🔍 KEY TOPICS COVERED • How Japan’s yen surge is crushing U.S. stocks • The collapse of the carry trade and what it means for Wall Street • Why Nvidia, Apple, Amazon and AI hyperscalers are suddenly under pressure • The hidden role of Asian liquidity in the Western tech boom • Why Asia’s monetary decisions now move global markets • The shift from U.S.-led financial dominance to a multipolar capital system **#Japan #Yen #CarryTrade #USDJPY #AsiaRising #AsianEconomy #GVSDeepDive #JapanShock #USMarketCrash #TechSelloff #Nvidia #AIInfrastructure #Geopolitics #FinanceNews #GlobalMarkets** Do give your comments below.

Japan Just Triggered a Market Shock: The Yen Surge That’s Crashing U.S. Tech
China has just opened a new front in the global tech race — and this time it’s not EVs or solar panels. In this GVS Deep Dive, we look at how China is accelerating ahead in autonomous vehicles, biotechnology, and the long-horizon Genesis Project, while the U.S. responds with Trump’s new Genesis Mission — a national AI-for-science mobilization using supercomputers, national labs, and high-performance computing. We examine how China’s robotaxi fleets expanded across 50+ cities, why its biotech industry now rivals the West, and how demographic decline is forcing both countries to rebuild productivity through automation, AI, and biological innovation. This isn’t just about EVs or AI models. It’s about the future of scientific power, the battle between two systems, and the technologies that will define global leadership for the next century. China bets on scale and biology. America bets on AI acceleration. Only one model can win. #ChinaTech #ChinaNews #USChina #TechWar #Geopolitics #Robotaxi #AutonomousVehicles #Biotech #AIRevolution #GenesisMission #ChinaInnovation #FutureTech #DeepDive #NajmaPirzada #GVSDeepDive Do give your comments below.

This Is How China Plans to Dominate the Next Decade
Description: An Indian citizen from Arunachal Pradesh was stopped for nearly eighteen hours at Shanghai Pudong Airport after Chinese officials allegedly questioned her passport and birthplace. This happened only days after Prime Minister Modi and President Xi met at the SCO Summit in Tianjin — their first bilateral meeting in seven years. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas explains the full timeline of the incident, China’s official response, India’s diplomatic protest, the historical dispute over the McMahon Line, and why China’s territorial assertions over Arunachal Pradesh have intensified in recent years. The video also examines the broader geopolitical context, including China’s confrontation with Japan over Taiwan and the recent Xi–Trump call.

India–China Reset Falters: Shanghai Airport Incident Explained
Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit. But the outcome is something neither side fully expected: Mohammad bin Salman outplayed both Washington and Beijing — and used the great-power rivalry to his advantage. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas breaks down: 🇸🇦 Why the U.S. finally agreed to sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia 🇺🇸 How Trump and MBS revived a powerful political chemistry 🇮🇱 Why Israel fears a regional shift in air superiority 🇨🇳 Why this deal won’t break Saudi Arabia’s long-term partnership with China 🛩️ How the F-35 became Washington’s biggest diplomatic bargaining chip ⚡ Why AI chips, data centers, and computing power matter more than oil 🌍 How Saudi Arabia is positioning itself at the center of a multipolar world This isn’t a pivot away from China. It’s a strategic balancing act — and MBS is using it to reshape the Middle East’s power map for the next 50 years. If you want to understand the future of the Gulf, U.S.–China competition, or the real meaning behind the F-35 and AI chip deals, this video explains it all. I’m Najma Minhas with GVS Deep Dive.

F-35s & AI Chips: How MBS Outplayed Washington & Beijing
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a breakthrough technology — the US China technology war is becoming a civilizational struggle between the United States and China. In this deep-dive, Najma Minhas unpacks the argument made by Alex Karp, CEO Palantir on AI at the Hudson Institute, where he described the AI race not as a competition between companies, but as a geopolitical arms race that will determine which civilization shapes the future global order. Drawing on Samuel Huntington’s Clash of Civilizations, we explore: Why AI is now framed as a contest of civilizations, AI geopolitics. How America and China differ in energy capacity, computing scale, and model efficiency The power constraints threatening the U.S. AI ecosystem vs China AI supremacy China’s explosive build-out of electricity, renewables, and AI infrastructure Why Silicon Valley invokes civilizational fear to secure public money Whether electricity and compute, power grid AI crisis and not ideology, will define global dominance This video examines the deeper structural forces behind the AI arms race — from energy bottlenecks to geopolitical strategy — and asks a fundamental question: Who will wield AI as a tool of civilizational power? #AI #China #USA #Geopolitics #ArtificialIntelligence #USChina #Civilization #Huntington #AlexKarp #DataCenters #PowerCrisis #DeepSeek #OpenAI #GlobalOrder #GVSDive #NajmaMinhas Do give your comments below.

America Is Losing the AI War to China — And No One Wants to Admit Why
Japan’s new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, has triggered the sharpest China–Japan clash in years — and it happened in under one month of taking office. After saying that a Chinese military operation in Taiwan could create a “survival-threatening situation” for Japan, Beijing erupted, warning Tokyo to “stop playing with fire,” accusing Japan of violating the 1972 diplomatic agreement, and even issuing a thinly veiled death threat through a Chinese diplomat in Osaka. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas unpacks why Beijing sees Takaichi as the most hawkish and dangerous Japanese leader in decades — and why her comments about Taiwan broke with Japan’s long-standing strategic ambiguity. This episode examines the broader historical context: Japan’s annexation of Taiwan in 1895, the trauma of the Sino-Japanese War, the Nanjing Massacre, the U.S. occupation, Article 9, and the enduring fear in China that Japan may be moving toward remilitarization. At the same time, Japan is accelerating its defence buildup to 2% of GDP, strengthening its alliance with the United States, and expanding military planning around the Taiwan Strait. We explore how China interprets Takaichi’s ideology, her visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, her ties with pro-Taiwan groups, and her push for constitutional change. We also break down why Beijing believes Tokyo is preparing to intervene militarily alongside the U.S. in a Taiwan conflict — a scenario China considers a red line. As Japan sharpens its security posture and China signals “crushing defeat” if Tokyo intervenes, the question becomes: is the postwar balance in East Asia collapsing?

Japan’s Hawkish Turn: Why Beijing Sees Takaichi as a Dangerous Shift
The smiles are back — but the trust is gone. Najma Minhas explains why America and China’s “stability” is only a façade… and why this silent divorce may be permanent. From Nvidia’s $500 billion collapse and Trump’s “poison pill” trade clauses, to China’s new Gold Corridor and its militarized ferry fleet, Najma Minhas breaks down the illusion of calm — and exposes how the U.S.–China relationship has entered a phase of strategic distrust, weaponized trade, and monetary rebellion.

The Silent Divorce:Why the U.S.–China Relationship Can’t Be Fixed
New Colonialism in Asia? Less than a week after President Trump called Xi Jinping his “friend,” the U.S. added secret “poison pill” clauses to trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia — allowing Washington to cancel benefits if either deepens ties with China. Najma Minhas explains how this “trade with strings” strategy turns free trade into a geopolitical weapon, forcing Asian nations to choose between Washington’s rules and Beijing’s markets. #China #USChina #TradeWar #PoisonPill #Malaysia #Cambodia #GVSDeepDive #NajmaMinhas #ASEAN #WTO #NewColonialism #China #USChina #TradeWar #PoisonPill #ASEAN #Malaysia #Cambodia #GVSDeepDive #NajmaMinhas #WTO #XiJinping #Trump #NewColonialism #BeltAndRoad Do give your comments below.

New Colonialism in Asia: The U.S. ‘Poison Pill’ That Targets China
America tried to contain China with tariffs, export controls, and an AI chip blockade. It failed. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas breaks down how the U.S. attempt to isolate China has backfired — accelerating Beijing’s rise, strengthening its industrial base, and pushing much of the world toward a China-centered economic order. Despite record-high U.S. tariffs, China is on track for another record year of exports. The Global South — from Africa to South America — is buying more Chinese cars, batteries, and solar panels than ever. Countries are settling trade in yuan, bypassing the U.S. dollar. And in the AI war, Washington’s ban on Nvidia chips is pushing China to build its own semiconductor ecosystem faster, supported by massive state subsidies and cheap electricity. We also examine the Supreme Court case that could decide whether U.S. presidents can unilaterally impose national-security tariffs, reshaping global trade — and why Xi’s light-hearted “Xiaomi phone” moment carries deeper geopolitical meaning. China isn’t being contained. It’s being re-centered. Watch the full breakdown. Subscribe for more GVS Deep Dive episodes.

The China Containment Plan Has Failed — Here’s How
G2 WILL BE CONVENING SHORTLY!” With those words, President Trump announced his first face-to-face meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in six years — a moment the world watched closely. In this GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas unpacks what really happened in South Korea: – Why Trump revived the old “G2” idea — and twisted its meaning. – How Xi adopted a new playbook that forced the U.S. into a truce. – The rare-earth deal, Nvidia shock, and soybean diplomacy behind the smiles. – And what this all means for the global order — a year of calm or a countdown to Cold War 2.0?

Trump–Xi G2 Meeting: Truce or Trap? How the U.S. and China Just Rewrote Global Power
President Trump’s Asia tour has sent global markets surging — the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq all up — as hopes rise for a new U.S.–China trade deal at APEC. But beneath the pomp and Boeing deals, rare-earth stocks are crashing and Beijing still holds the real leverage. From Malaysia’s red-carpet welcome to talk of a Nobel Peace Prize, Trump’s Asia trip has been part diplomacy, part spectacle. Behind the scenes, U.S. and Chinese negotiators met in Kuala Lumpur for their fifth high-level talks this year, preparing a potential breakthrough before Trump’s meeting with President Xi Jinping. Markets celebrated, but the rare-earth sector plunged — MP Materials down over 24% this week — as traders priced in a temporary truce that could lift China’s export restrictions. We break down: Why Boeing keeps appearing in every trade deal. How soybeans and rare earths became Trump’s bargaining chips. What Beijing’s new strategy reveals about the balance of power. 🎥 Watch to the end for my take on what each side will really walk away with at APEC. #Trump #China #APEC2025 #GVSDeepDive #TradeWar #Markets #RareEarths #Boeing #XiJinping #Geopolitics Subscribe for more GVS Deep Dive analysis on global trade, tech, and geopolitics. ➡️ https://youtube.com/@GVSDeepDive Do give your comments below.

Trump’s Asia Tour Ignites Markets — But China Holds the Real Power
This week, Donald Trump managed to shake four continents. From Canada and Russia to India and China, his new wave of tariffs, sanctions, and investigations has reignited trade tensions worldwide — and exposed the limits of America’s so-called “Disruption Diplomacy.” In this episode of GVS Deep Dive, Najma Minhas breaks down how: Trump suspended trade talks with Canada after an Ontario ad mocked his tariffs. Washington tightened sanctions on Russia, angering both Moscow and New Delhi. The U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear Trump’s sweeping tariffs case on November 5, a decision that could reshape U.S. trade law. And while the West lashes out, China stays calm — refusing to budge before the APEC Summit, even as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s attacks on China’s trade envoy make headlines. Meanwhile, Europe reels from the Nexperia expropriation, German auto production slumps, and Beijing quietly consolidates its leverage. ➡️ Key themes: Trump tariffs, U.S.–China trade war, rare earths, Russia sanctions, Canada dispute, India oil, Li Chenggang controversy, APEC 2025, multipolar world. ➡️ Watch till the end for why Beijing’s patience might be its most powerful weapon yet. #Trump #China #TradeWar #GVSDeepDive #Geopolitics #Tariffs #Russia #India #Canada #APEC #XiJinping #USPolitics ———- Do give your comments below.

Trump’s Chaos Diplomacy: Four Continents Shaken, Nexperia, China Watches
Australia came running to Washington to please Donald Trump — offering its mineral riches to help America ‘beat China’ in the rare-earth war. But just like Europe last week, the result was the same: China didn’t even have to move. In a high-stakes move to save the AUKUS alliance, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese arrived in Washington promising lithium, nickel, and rare earths — the building blocks of America’s defense and green industries. But beneath the headlines, this deal reveals a deeper truth. Australia may be rich in resources, but China still controls the industrial heart of the rare-earth world — the refining, the magnets, the value chain. So is this partnership real strategy — or political theatre? In this GVS Deep Dive, we break down: What Australia really offered Trump How this “temptation package” aims to keep AUKUS alive Why China still dominates the minerals game And how the U.S.–Australia deal shows the limits of Western industrial power 🎧 Watch till the end for the full breakdown — and why Beijing has little reason to worry.

Australia Rushed to Help Trump — BUT China’s Still Winning
Europe expropriated Nexperia and instantly crippled its own auto industry. Trump’s tariff posts sent U.S. markets on a rollercoaster. And while chaos spread, gold surged past $4,000 an ounce as central banks turned away from the dollar. The West is acting first and thinking later — and global markets are making them pay. Meanwhile, Beijing’s smartest strategy is simply to wait. 📌 In this Deep Dive: Europe’s Nexperia fiasco and auto industry panic Trump’s tariff whiplash and Wall Street backlash Gold’s rise and the dollar’s decline in global reserves Why China doesn’t need to retaliate — Western leaders are doing the work for them 👉 Watch next: [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYBR8QN-idhSrNQUKClQTsiCA1J2E1G8v&si=V9sPITQ8zUQJytB-] #GVSDeepDive #China #DeDollarization Do give your comments below.

Europe Panics, Trump Backtracks — and China Wins by Doing Nothing
Trump’s trade war is no longer just against China — it has now reached Europe. The Dutch government has seized Nexperia, a semiconductor company headquartered in the Netherlands but owned by China’s Wingtech, under U.S. pressure. This shocking move shows how Washington is expanding its entity list strategy beyond Beijing, forcing allies to fall in line or face sanctions. In this video, I break down: China’s “fight to the end” response to Trump’s latest tariffs. The global market meltdown and Trump’s TACO walk-back. Why Nexperia’s seizure is a turning point for Europe’s sovereignty. How the U.S. is using tariffs, rare earths, and blacklists as weapons to discipline not only China, but the rest of the world.

Nexperia Seized: Trump’s Trade War Just Went Global
On October 10, 2025, global markets went into panic after President Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports — just hours after Beijing expanded export controls on rare-earth metals, materials critical to U.S. defense and tech industries. In this GVS Deep Dive, we break down: What triggered the $600 billion Wall Street wipeout 📉 Why China’s rare-earth sanctions matter more than tariffs Trump’s threat to restrict Boeing exports and U.S. software The real balance of power between Beijing and Washington And how this showdown could redefine Trade War 2.0 From chips to minerals — from the factory floor to financial markets — this is the new battlefield of economic power. 🎥 Previous Episodes: [Blacklist Backfires: China Is Only Nanoseconds Behind as U.S. Farmers Collapse] Chips playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYBR8QN-idhSU68MrL8o3WbuXaHDLuQDp&si=ErCtedjuqwyghv8i China: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYBR8QN-idhQ0D_LSZnCAvJNP7-D3OJdA&si=YIddMKqiAVI16ahq Rare Earths: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYBR8QN-idhR_nW2oIYyrBEGfv4L1f36T&si=L3kACetrpThL8e7M #GVSDeepDive #China #TradeWar #RareEarths #Trump #XiJinping #Markets #Geopolitics #Economy #APEC #BRICS #Tariffs #WallStreet #Beijing #USChinaRelations #Semiconductors #Technology #StockMarketCrash #China #TradeWar #RareEarths #GVSDeepDive #Trump #XiJinping #Markets #Geopolitics #Economy #USChinaRelations #BRICS #Tariffs #WallStreet #Semiconductors #GlobalEconomy Do give your comments below.

Trade War 2.0: China’s Rare-Earth Weapon Just Crashed U.S. Markets
China’s $1 Trillion Temptation: Will Trump Blink? Beijing has reportedly offered the Trump administration a massive $1 trillion investment package — in exchange for easing restrictions on Chinese companies and lowering tariffs on key industrial imports. The proposal, raised during recent trade talks in Madrid, could become the most consequential deal of the decade — one that redefines U.S.–China relations from rivalry to economic fusion. In this episode of GVS Deep Dive, we uncover: What’s really behind Beijing’s trillion-dollar offer. Why it marks a shift from trade war to investment diplomacy. How this fits the “best-case scenario” described by Graham Allison — a world where the U.S. and China compete, but avoid catastrophe through interdependence. Why Japan and South Korea’s recent deals with Washington were seen as humiliating, and how China plans to rewrite that script. Which sectors the U.S. could realistically open to Chinese investment — and what it would mean for the future of global power. From the TikTok framework to the coming Trump-Xi summit in Seoul, this story isn’t just about trade — it’s about who gets to shape the next world order. 📊 If China invests $1 trillion inside the U.S., the Thucydides Trap might finally be reversed.
