Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

People don’t realize the modernization that China has gone through even in young peoples lifetimes. My ex was from China and came to the US when she was 10 (2008). Her city she was from had dirt roads and little infrastructure (she compared it to a old west ghost town we visited once) she went back to her city to visit in 2017 and all the roads were paved and it had better modernization and infrastructure than most US cites. That kind of change in peoples lives is going to buy a lot of loyalty from the citizens. When you went from dirt roads and sewage in the streets to a standard of living equal to and sometimes better than first world countries you’re probably going to not feel like not criticizing the government is a hugely negative trade off.

Even if we stopped funding new operations today, it would take decades for any country to catch up. As for the OP vid: I never said America wasn't. The problem with it is bringing up all these stats and not addressing the fact that we spend way too much on our military (he does the opposite in fact and thinks it's a good thing when the whole vid is about how it would be impossible for anyone to invade). He then disregards how our economic system contributes to the US having one of the largest wealth gaps in any developed nation.

Islamic fundamentalisms was an issue in Afghanistan and in Xinjiang. The US tried their method, China tried theirs. One involved bombs the other involved education. I dont think the education method was aimed at destroying culture, although it is still worthy of criticism for being draconic. Today we see two regions, Afghanistan and Xinjiang, the results speak for themselves, Afghanistan is controlled by the Taliban, Xinjiang has experienced poverty alleviation and is now a top tourist destination in China.

90 days if they use oil normally. if they ration they could last up to 8 years. and taiwan on the other hand is much more energy dependent. blockading china effectively means blockading taiwan as well, because no way china will allow taiwan to import energy. taiwan falls long before china. also taiwan is much more food dependent than china. it's a flawed strategy.

You forget that the USA could directly import oil to Taiwan if they blocked the Straight of Malacca, they share an ocean. China will undoubtedly try and naval block Taiwan, and I imagine that a theoretical war between China and the USA other Taiwan would mostly take place at sea. As landing on Taiwan is outrageously difficult, due to its coast being mostly mountains and it's beaches being heavily fortified. In WW2, it was estimated by a US general that to take the island of Taiwan from the Japanese, who were defending it with 50000 troops, they would need a land invasion force of nearly 200000 troops, and he expected that most of the 200000 would die. China couldn't invade Taiwan before the USA arrived to fight at sea. Which means most of the fighting would take place at sea

@@EchoAwakens for one, if you're even remotely aware of the modernizations and the growth of the PLA, especially the PLAN, you'd know that there is a high probability that the US would not be able to defeat them near taiwan. that means they can't "directly import oil to Taiwan if they blocked the Straight of Malacca". secondly, taiwan is not "mostly mountains and its beaches being heavily fortified." its east coast is mountainous, the west coast is not. and it's definitely not heavily forfitied, taiwan hasn't been taking their own defense seriously enough for that. thirdly, china would not attempt an invasion until taiwan is completely cripplied by missiles, and the PLA has completely air and sea domination around taiwan. so your numbers about a japanese invasion are irrelevant. china would also not attempt an invasion until the US has either been defeated, or backed off somewhere where it can't help taiwan.

How doesn't it have an oil problem? China's economy is still very heavily dependent on it and in the case of war, oil from Middle East can be blocked off. China does have Russia but I don't think Russia could cope with all China's demand and its rapid growth. It is investing in renewables, so in the long term in may not have as much as an oil problem but currently in the short and medium term it does.

Although the likely outcome would be the fact that US wouldn't even need to fire upon the ships, just either physically block it but they could also use their influence in South East Asia with Malaysia/Indonesia but also they could also coerce Middle Eastern countries too. Bear in mind, we are talking about the US which has been protecting trade routes to protect its own interests for a while now with their big navy. They don't really have a naval rival yet, or any military rival as of yet (China is still getting there obvs but still has not many international military bases). But yeah we agree that in short term, yeah China is oil secure but long term no. In any case, in an actual war it could just go nuclear and it obviously would be over quite quickly.

Look, this territorial dispute has been going on for decades. I remember Fidel Ramos saber-rattling against the Chinese, and he served his 6-year term during the 90's. I think the harsh reality is that China is extremely content with either bullying their neighbors, or as in the case of the Philippines, getting a president elected who favors trade with them over the Western powers. Under Duterte, we went from saber-rattling against China's rampant building of bases in the South China Sea to opening our gates to massive amounts of Chinese labor and cheap goods from the Alibaba-owned online store, Lazada. Our national Sinophobia also morphed from perpetual fear of getting bombed during Noynoy Aquino's term, to getting pissed that the Chinese are taking all our good tech jobs under Duterte.

This is one of the few points that I disagree with Hasan upon. Now I’m not going to say China is this terrible place but he is seemingly extremely biased against any form of content that criticizes the country. The Strait of Malacca is a well known chokepoint that is essential to many East Asian countries. I am not sure why he is getting annoyed by the video detailing this with factual statistics on imports. Also, he clicked on a video about China and it’s oil dependency, but calls it Western bias when the video doesn’t go into detail about every single country and the effect on them from this problem?? The focus of the video is China and not every single country in Asia???

There's a number of problems with your analysis. The Strait is important in that it is the most cost effective, but it's easy to divert around for around +2% shipping cost. China has much better relations with Indonesia and Malaysia so this isn't really a problem. China is also very much not oil dependent, in that most of Chinese energy comes from coal, while most new energy intensification comes from solar. Both wean China off of any oil dependency, and this is before considering the land-based pipelines. As for denying Chinese shipping out, this is a cascade of issues for the US which would be stopping shipping for most countries in the world (because China is the major trade partner of most countries), and the US would have to do something to satisfy the other countries and their needs. This is just impossible, let alone the effects on the US economy directly.

@@ruedelta I’m not quite sure where you are getting that what you mentioned was my analysis. The Strait is an important channel that is heavily trafficked, my original point was just referencing Hasan’s unnecessary annoyance at the video pointing this out.

Oil is used not just for energy but also in manufacturing many of their exports.

The Saudis engage in massive censorship, anti LGBTQ+ practices, anti-women’s rights, autocracy, and partially caused the literal starving of at least a hundred thousand Yemenis, yet all that can be brushed aside due to their oil which helps the US dollar to remain the reserve currency.
