Kishore Mahbubani takes on British MP Tom Tugendhat over whether the West should get tough on China, and explains why he says it won't work.
Tom calls China "a very effective dictatorship" and says the claim that China hasn't fired a shot isn't true. Kishore hits back on torture double standards, notes China's last war was in 1979, and argues that respectful private talks work better than pressure. Then the audience votes again.
