Why We Are Forced To Turn To China: The Truth The US Won’t Tell You | Mia Mottley x Trevor Noah
“If you treat me as if I am equal to a large nation, then you will kill me before I can even start.” This is one of the most eye-opening conversations Trevor has ever had about the true state of global power, money, and the future of our children.
In this episode, Prime Minister Mia Mottley joins Trevor Noah to expose the “one size fits all” rules that are crushing small nations and reveals the staggering hypocrisy of Western economic policies. She breaks down exactly how the US and Europe pushed the Caribbean toward China, the truth about the “debt trap” narrative, and why the current global financial system is outdated. They also dive deep into the crisis of modern education, the dangers of smartphones for young developing brains, and why we are failing to prepare the next generation for the real world.

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land.
In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined.
Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country.
We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.
