It's hard to explain geopolitics in a coherent way in a five minute video...
I listened to one of his videos on China, and as a long-time China-watcher, I was not impressed. In fact, I closed the tab and wrote him off. He identified most of the factors influencing China's political situation, which he confidently extrapolated as actual fact. Much of what he said was not unreasonable as a working hypothesis of what might be going on specific to that area, but it was certainly highly unlikely to be accurate. The whole picture was definitely not accurate.
Compared to the clarity of thought of, say, John Mearsheimer or Ian Shapiro, who are scholars, I found Zeihan to be a waste of time.
