    Recently Yanis Varoufakis was banned from Germany for giving speeches in support of Palestine, against Israel. He is banned from entering the country and also he said the government shut down events where he was giving a speech remotely over webcam.

    Here’s a clip from 5 years ago that went viral. Some woman tells Yanis that China is doing imperialism in Africa. Yanis replies “No, they’re not. China is far more humanistic than the United States ever was.” He explains that China is non-interventionist.
