Nyquist is the Geert Vanden Bossche of communist studies. His predictions come true, his thesis makes sense, he knows the material, and what he says is worldview changing. This video is essential if you want to understand Taiwan, China, Russia, geopolitics in general. (On a side note, Nyquist’s pronunciation of Chinese is weirdly atrocious. Most people do better after even very casual contact with Chinese studies. That said, as a psycholinguist, I well understand that weirdly atrocious language glitches are typically just that and nothing more. Some people cannot spell to save their lives, yours truly included.) ABN
