Overall, a pretty good series I would add, that patriotic education in China is kinda overstated in the video. Chinese people aren't stupid, when your income multiplies over the decades, your cities became green and well managed, naturally people would be supportive of the government.

As the Old Man said: "Don't go looking for War son, 'cause when War comes around, it will be looking for you."

People in China all used VPN and the government just close a blind eye and look the other way round. Using VPN in China is normal.

There's a pattern all around the world regarding color revolution, all from the NED playbook. The rose revolution in Georgia, the tulip revolution in Kyrgyzstan, the orange revolution in Ukraine, the sunflower revolution in Taiwan, the umbrella revolution in hongkong, the white paper revolution in china during the COVID period, but in hongkong and china it just didn't work.

“Let China Sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world.” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleon Bonaparte famously said, “Let China Sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world.” The plain truth is that every time China rises, China has been suppressed by the European powers/ Western alliance for centuries.., for instance, Opium Wars.

Singapore with a population with less than 5M is already struggling with internet and control and dissident let alone a country with 1.4B. Very easy to criticise but unable to provide alternative solution/s. But please, no western approach solution/s please.

As a person living in Both China and Singapore, I found that China's patriotic edudation to young people is much less than Singapore government does.

This was an excellent 3 part documentary series by CNA. Very informative. Awesome work. Thank you!

One can say a lot of things about Xi Jinping... but the guy has an uncanny insight in the social fabric of a society. He's right. Every "idea" or "expression" - art or otherwise - is basically introducing the ideology of the creator. Which makes all forms of arts and expressions, in reality, a form of propaganda. Some more explicit than others, for sure, but ALL portray an underlying message, and all try to persuade - consciously or not - the one watching or reading it, of the idea the creator wanted to convey. And, thus, indeed: if *you* don't fill the narrative, someone else will fill it. There isn't actually something like complete neutrality or objectivity - except, maybe, in pure science.

Thank you CNA for this excellent 3-part documentary series.Keep it up 👍.

This help me understand China better. I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zheng He came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not buy looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China. -C L “Christopher Columbus didn’t discover anything, instead he just got lost” -Tasia Grzenia

Excellent 3 part series on how China is dealing “dangerous storms”. Kudos to CNA and Pearl Forss for this balanced and informative documentary. Her Chinese is excellent and she asked very good questions.

IF the West feel painful about China, then it means that the Chinese people and CPC must do some thing right😂😂😂. That is how most of the Chinese youth judge the situation roughly.

Great series!

It made me laugh when the ex-US defense guy jealously expresses his sarcasm on CPC's success😂 Oh well, the US politicians aren't capable of replicating that triumph.

Speaking of positive energy, I notice this with the state broadcaster cgtn. We get cgtn africa and their stories about Africa are mostly positive and even when they notice problems they mention possible solutions or positive actions the government or some other group are taking. I think I prefer this to the western medias doom and gloom approach, especially about non western countries, which leaves you feeling helpless and paralyzed.

Another informative series by CNA 👍

Thank you CNA for this series.

Very informative series. Great work CNA

有意思的是大多数抗议活动发生在美国领事馆附近，只要在街头游行拍照就能领取现金，视频中的规模过分夸大，实际上一部分抗议的人被路人打的挺惨

0:03 That music is quite dope. Is it "battle of the planets promos"?

Great doccumentary lads.

20:40 many do not know about how much China help the north Koreans in the Korean war .. many Chinese soldiers went to Korea to fight, the north Korean armies were not very capable .. and many Chinese soldiers died in Korea, the casualty figures were kept secret, and many bodies didnt returned to China for burial .. as for the american commander MacArthur, he was recalled backed by the president and got mothballed .. a total disgraced because with superior american weapons he lost the Korean war due to his arrogance and underestimating the determination of the Chinese soldiers

simple question, why is the source on china from professor kishore not included ? ;(

Being a western, I'm uncomfortable with suppression of individual freedom of speech, but looking at how the US uses it to control or muddle the narrative, from individual to nation wide, from culture to objective facts especially in the sciences, I can't see if we are any better than the Chinese. It's like trading the good of the individual, which is vitally important, versus societal progress. I honestly don't know when to give up individual right in service of collective good, or to fight for individual right with the price of paralysis on social progress. The former moreless worked for the various incarnation of ancient Chinese civilizations for 2000 years, but in the end it also failed it when the West overtook the collective thinking which suppresses new ideas. Is there a compromise between the two?

I totally agree with what Professor Wang Yiwei said.

That's a great idea ❤🇨🇳

32:16 There is sensational journalism in the United States. China is treated as the great danger while the U.S is treated as the good guy who can not do no wrong.

Rather than oppressing of different ideas, i think most Chinese see the threats, unfriendliness and lies from foriegn countries and tend to understand why the Chinese govrnment push for the policies and support them.

I hope more year hare affair episode is published on KZfaq and translated into English

julian assange, cna should do a documentary on for sure.

This part is very bias, which country don't have security law to maintain peace? very rich coming from CNA Singapore.

3:45 Covid-19 lockdown protest Since the June 4th Tiananmen incident in 1989

That professor Wang might as well quote 1982 to get the same point across, and more eloquently+honestly.

Excellent documentary to help us understands China. Thank you CNA.

"impossible to have love country not the party"..Making something impossible with that much resource instead of actually making the case for it, never lead to permanent good

where the part 1 and 2

Quote at 10:03 China discovered that freedom was defined by the powerful......

确实，如果中国真的采取西方那种所谓的民主制度，那么这个政府将变得更加激进，而无法冷静处理任何外部纠纷

Question? I've only seen 1 more part of this discussion.. As for the CNA:s documentaries, I have found them to be pretty much honest and gives out alot of important information and facts.. I definitely watch their site more than the other ones

11:22 - 12:12 what come out of them is who they are 🐇 These cartoon characters are who the Chinese are deep within

Chinese people are NOT stupid. In 1949, China per capita income was the same as India, now it is 5 times higher. They all understood that everyone have to make sacrifices to bring unity and cohesion to the society. If everyone start voicing differences ….the society will be fractured and civil war or conflicts will appear. USA through CIA will make sure China have conflicts like the Soviet Union. Chinese people understand the situation and accepts it. USA is a rich country but it have millions of homeless living in the street . I can’t imagine China having millions sleeping in the street. China have a lot of uneducated and poor people and these people need to be protected from free economy. China needs time to rejuvenate and restructure its country. I am a Malaysian Chinese and most of us support China. It is not easy to help the millions of poor and uneducated. Bravo China.

"Si vis pacem, para bellum". Latin for "If you want peace, prepare for war"

ONLY CNA CAN BRING SUCH UNIQUE & ONE OF ITS KIND DOCUMENTARIES

Blank paper leads to relaxation? What is the difference between this and " the sun is raised by the rooster crows"?

Do they cover topics like the Great Leap forward and its great famine? Or how abt cultural revolution

One thing Chinese lose to Westerners is the realism in CGI. Hahaha

I haven't heard about this movie ❤🇨🇳

Is promoting POSITIVE ENERGY the same as BRAINWASH?

this was a great 3 part documentary

29:01 He nailed it for me, China advance so much in such a short time that they even started seeing America at some part like a third world country

For a while there I thought I was watching China's CGTN instead of Singapore's CNA.

CCP Days are numbered. I take umbrage every time Xi Jinping is compared to Winnie the Pooh, my alter ego. What would "engineering the soul' with tofu dreg materials and methods yield? 😃

When it comes to trust in government, I think it's honestly more of a cultural question than one of performance. If you go into the Edelman report, besides China ranking first, you'll find India not far off ranking 4th on par with Singapore. That makes me very doubtful development or propaganda is very important for trust (at least in Asia). If that's not enough for you, Chinese don't only have the highest recorded trust in their own country, but they also have the highest trust in the EU in the survey - followed by other Asian countries way before any EU country. That could either be a coincidence or it's because of different cultural conceptualizations of trust.

2:39 when you got banned in WeChat, you just can’t send messages to the public, but still be able to withdraw your money

21:50 In germany, we have nazi movies or german empire movies made in a way that it doesn't encourage war.

translation of the entire protest banner: 不要核酸要吃饭，不要封控要自由，不要慌言要尊严 不要文革要改革，不要领袖要选票，不做奴才做公民 don't need covid test we need food, don't need quarantine we need freedom, don't want lies we want dignity don't need Cultural Revolution we need reformation, don't need leader we need elections, don't want to be slaves we want to be citizens.

USA : patriotism China : nationalism

Ohh I know where it was coming from ❤🇨🇳🥰

And the dude said it is good to surpress negative energy but keep it up and energy go booooom awe 😂

Yes, China make war movie, like US does. Yes, China has censorship, like Singapore does. and Yes. China has Patriotism, Chinese stepped in war against earthquake, flood, covid, and US with Patriotism. Some countries fear China's Patriotism , they should.

Have been listening to this, I am from a small island from Pacific. No military, but US is backing us up. Am Palau.

My opinion is correct

🐼 Working, continuing to progress and innovating to have an independent and stable life is the true freedom that the peoples of the world seek. A government that works for the people is what the people need most and the results are where expected economic progress, poverty eradicated and recognition in the world ❤️

A banner with verbiage that sounds so Westernized can represent the people of China? 🤣😂😅 Sounds like a clip by CNN or Fox Anyone who 's well versed in both languages can tell the banner message was essentially a translation from English to Chinese 🤣😂😅

已經交出聯合國以及所有政府物品和商業玩具，這樣你就可以在所有國家的電視直播中玩耍，我可以在電視直播中講話！

Western university is studying this phenomena. I don't know how much they can study from the tapping of my handphone. Obviously not much. My handphone is just part of my extension which doesn't include the human which is totally sovereign in itself. I hope their Wall Street understands the same goes for the Blockchain technology which is privately owned.

There is a difference between patriotism and nationalism.

When you are a hammer. You see everything is nails.....

15:15 Ok, so, some things are obvious; the eagle represents the US, the chick Japan, and the bear we saw earlier Russia... but then... the bull.. the UK or Australia? The rooster... Korea? and the cat? Who does the cat represent?

extremely slow and tedious segment in this episode about the rabbits. Part 1 and 2 were slow enough. Part 3 is padded with nonsense.

It’s a such a scary echo chamber that the Chinese government are promoting… it’s just their voice and their voice alone that’s right… that’s not going to empower people to think independently … just constantly follow what everyone else is doing and make sure they are within line…. It’s a suppressive state of mind … can’t believe they don’t realize that’s a terrible system

7:55 Negative energy….. different view of government…. Lol

Why did 3/3 come before 1 and 2? Lol

As long as China minds its own domestic affairs, it doesn't matter if it doesn't spread that ideological system to other countries. Close the door and govern yourself, and do whatever you want.

If you cling to tightly youre gonna lose it .😊

So many thing written on Endia, Fhilipine, Endonesia, Vietnam, Burma, Pukima, Tuiniama, Malaya and Singapoora toilet why not publish on CIA New Agency?

Are you ready to rumble?

Impressive that Singapore has a China News Agency.

These small students are from china and myanmar.....

china is driving a car pf growth without the brake that is opposition,, it can meet with an accident or it will have an incredible growth

Chinese philosophy: “This is something that we must face, if not….our children will face it later. It is better to throw a punch now than throwing a hundred punches later” ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sorry as Chinese,I’m terrified what our country doing rn coz against America has consequences and I don’t want our country becoming another Russia , It’s unfortunate China US political fight, people in the middle of it, I’m NOT looking forward our country against the America, but we’re just the people who can’t do anything to change it, all we can do is fleeting China if someday our country attacked Taiwan you know

Korea….

Human beings are emotional beings and if the emotions are wrongly directed or exploited by unscrupulous groups then great problems are created . So the right to guide the people therefore rest with the government of the day with all the rights to control the direction of things What society ultimately wants is a society free from corruption, ( this will destroy all systems) efficient administration and the opportunities to earn a living and hopes for the family to survive . With all these other concepts of freedom are abstract and just for higher comfort of lives ..like cultures and travels . That is why the Chinese believe without a nation there is no family.

And now Twitter shall follow suit

China should open up a Speaker's Corner like in Singapore ! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

👋President Xi ❤🇨🇳

Unfortunately, it’s all boils down to money. $ = control & power > life.

Hey look at Xi Xing Ping wearing western style suits with tie.... its so Chinese style right ? lolololol

35:45

3:10 🥶🥶 hopefully he still alive and good, this why I stay out of politics

And I can't read and tell the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese script cause I don't read either. I believe the Blockchain and Bible was initially in Cantonese.

China government does what they think is right. Unfortunately people have no choice but following whatever comes. Good luck, but I’m leaving.

Everybody is impartial except for Mr. Thompson.

Patriotic is very important to a country. If Singaporean naver patriotic to their country soon it will become Libya.

39:07 einfach Hitler Jugend in Lite Version🤣😂

Propaganda review: Not too bad seriously, I like the western style interview format. A good dishing of smears & half truths while keeping things relatively subtle. A solid 4/5. Expect nothing less from CNA.... only the Singapore arm of US empire propaganda.

people are more free in China compared to Singapore

Funded by PAP and papa America. Ha ha ha!
