The thumbnail is also misleading since he went to the US in the 1920s, decades before the PRC was established. He was an ethnic Korean, but ethnic Koreans are quite common in Northeast China

He was no Chinese man but claiming to be Chinese and making lectures to a largely ignorant audience was what allowed him to succeed in U.S. as Americans couldn't care less about Korea or even point to it on a map.

There is ongoing memes about Korean claiming all things Chinese are actually Korean, but also Chinese claiming all things Korean (and Japanese) are Chinese, both are hilarious. Anyway, there are ethnic Koreans in Northern China. Whether they identify themselves as Chinese or Korean, or both should be completely up to themselves. And if this guy also claimed to be an American, there is nothing wrong about that. The last thing you want to do is to claim for them.

That's crazy. Chinese people were already wearing Western clothing before China became communist. There's even videos of it everywhere. I wonder where's this guy been not to know what a necktie is?

@@Jalide well in china there is the zhongshanzhuang which ties the buttons all the way up. more like a military suit than the casual american suit. and china did have ties but wasnt popular outside of megacities like shanghai or beijing. the rural areas were still wearing clothes passed down from the qing dynasty for much of the kmt period.

It's a Russian joke used by Reagan many times. An American and Russian argue about their systems. American says"I can go the White House into the Oval office and say Mr President I don't like the way you run the country." The Russian replies that he could do it. " I can go to the Kremlin into the General Secretary office and say Mr General Secretary I don't like the way Mr Reagan runs his country".

More like: An American and Soviet soldier at Checkpoint Charlie are arguing about the merits of each system. American soldier: I can go to the steps of the Capitol and say that President Kennedy is a jerk! Soviet soldier: Проклятый буржуин, я не понимаю ничего на вашем буржуйском!

I remember my dad who was born in the 50's saying of his father something along the lines of "He grew up during the the Great Depression and could never afford steak, so [in the 50's/60's] he ate steak every day. I was so sick of steak. (as a kid.)" lol

I would assume every foreigner visiting america probably came from a place that experienced more poverty during the great depression, and also experienced rationing during ww2 Was there rationing in the US during ww2? on what goods? I know the entire world was rationing during ww2, but i assumed america didnt have to. Or was there only rationing on a small scale?

@@Borrelaas In the U.S. during WW2, sugar, tires, gasoline, meat, coffee, butter, canned goods and shoes came under rationing regulations. The Americans who lived in the countryside felt very little impact from Great Depression (with the exception of those who lived in the “Dust Bowl” area). However, the majority of Americans had lived in cities since the early 1900’s. In the 1930’s, many moved to shantytowns, then when they could finally afford to buy more stuff, it was rationed because of the war, and most families had at least one member or relative go to war. Many of those troops died. The death toll for American troops was in the hundreds of thousands. After 2 very bad decades, there was a booming economy and people wanted to treat themselves. Unfortunately, the kids born in that time became spoiled.

​@@StockyDude Just a few inserts from wiki about UK rationing during ww2. Might be TLDR, but its mainly for reference "When World War II began in September 1939, petrol was the first commodity to be controlled. On 8 January 1940, bacon, butter, and sugar were rationed. Meat, tea, jam, biscuits, breakfast cereals, cheese, eggs, lard, milk, canned and dried fruit were rationed subsequently. Almost all foods apart from vegetables and bread were rationed by August 1942. Fresh vegetables and fruit were not rationed, but supplies were limited. Some types of imported fruit all but disappeared. Lemons and bananas became unobtainable for most of the war; oranges continued to be sold, but greengrocers customarily reserved them for children and pregnant women. Apples were available from time to time." This was the UK, one of the least affected countries in Europe. Japan/Korea/Manchukuo had stricter rationing then the UK. I cant fathom from which country all these travellers would come from that you claim couldnt understand rationing. I also can't understand which country on earth these travellers could be from that didnt experience deeper poverty and destruction then americans did. I am not trying to play a game of "who suffered the most", my point is I think every traveller going to the US in the 50s would be very well aware of both how rationing works, what the great depression was and how abject poverty affects people, since they probably saw a lot of it every where else in the world

@@Borrelaas I think you missed my point. I WAS NOT trying to say that people from other countries didn’t understand poverty or having less. I’m pretty sure they did. I meant to say that when they saw Americans rushing to buy more and more stuff, they didn’t understand it was a result of being without much for so long followed by a sudden availability of money during a booming economy. It’s like how my bro-in-law eats a meal before bed every night because he used to go to bed hungry. It reassures him that he won’t have to worry about that anymore. Those who don’t know him might think he’s a glutton. He’s not even fat. For visitors to America in the 1950’s, their countries’ respective economies were still recovering and doing so much more slowly, so they didn’t have this a sudden spike of consumerism. Of course, they would see Americans as too materialistic and greedy. To some extent we are, but there’s still much more to America/Americans than that.

Africans are quite direct. 😅

Isn’t in some African cultures, weight is a positive thing, a sign of beauty opposite of the west?

America has no reason to be optimistic. It's in a state of engineered decline, corruption is completely unchecked, both major political parties have been subverted for decades, voters are tribalistic and hostile to the opposition. To add to the problem, the media is pumping out fearporn and TMZ style garbage instead of objective reporting. "United we stand, divided we fall"...

@@Mizelei2012 It's hard to discern nationality on social media. People in general are pessimistic. And the USA right now is still feeling the aftershocks of the 2020's turmoil.

@@chrishayes5755 The Political Parties have the same power they've almost always had. They aren't being subverted by anything or anyone. They are in full control. They are responding to what makes them money and by who is elected. The Republicans elected Majorie Greene. She's as radical and as much as a conspiracy theorist as they come. But she was elected. That's not subversion. People in Georgia wanted her in Congress and she was elected by them to represent them. If anything, the Political Parties have too much power. They have no outside challengers and they actively divide the American people for their own benefit. The USA is not engineered to decline and collapse. The rich are invested in the US Stock Market and if the US becomes unstable, declines and falls, they will lose all their money. In addition, many corporations are invested in the US economy and many global currencies are tied to the US currency. The media has always pumped-out fear-mongering. Its how they make money. They've been doing it for a long time and they amplified US divisions in the American Revolution, the US Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the 1920's, the 1930's, the 1940's, the CIvil Right's Movement, the Vietnam War, and all the way today. Teddy Roosevelt famously called reporters "Muckrakers" as they always focused on pessimism and stirring up controversy. Afterwards, he further explained "There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man whether politician or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn, remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful." In the 1860's during the American Civil War, General Sherman said "I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are." Journalism has always been this way. Corruption is not unchecked. People go to prison all the time for it. However, the US lacks consistency in its Judicial System and it is often racist in nature. To make things worse, the US Justice System is only and always cast in a negative light on Social Media where only opinion and emotions are valid. Social Media often makes us feel as though the Justice System is in effectual and rampant with evil because Social Media judges without fact and with lies to a mob of people. It is for this very reason that the Founding Fathers created our Constitution and our system of law in the first place. Our courts do a decent job of clamping down on corruption, we just never focus on it. Of course, it does deserve criticism and needs be reformed. Lobbying is legal corruption and the USA has always had it. And while many people suffer from ideas of "things were a lot better back then"-ism, US history is a lot uglier upon closer inspection. From the 1950's until the 1980's people were accusing each other of being Communists and Socialists without any evidence or true understanding either term. When the US military was called in to protect the Little Rock Nine, the black kids in a de-segregated high school, American white conservatives rioted and screamed that the US military had been taken over by Communists from China and the USSR. When American World War 2 vets returned to Athens, Tennessee, they witnessed rigged local elections by local police. One police officer even shot a black man who tried to vote. If corruption is rampant now, it always has been. Modern evidence shows us that the famous O.K. Corral Shootout that happened in 1881 was much more caused because the town was divided between Democrats and Republicans. The famous Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday were Republicans. The Mayor and Sheriff of Tombstone who made them outlaws were Democrats. Democrat newspapers even said the shootings of the Clantons was an unjustified tragedy and the Republican newspapers called the Earps heroes. The US has always been this way and it's a testement to its durability and flexibility. It will not fall any time soon and it only has an even brighter future ahead. If anything, you are the fear-mongerer here.

I remember there were few important Chinese Qing officials and generals visited to America before. For example Zuo Zongtang the guy who defeated the Taiping Rebels (who also was named after a chicken dish in America later in 1960), another famous general like Li HongZhong also visited US as a diplomat who also defeated the Taiping Rebels

I thought they were not impressed. At least during opium wars period, part of why Qing would not open market, did not see a reason. Maybe later was different.

I remember there were a few major westernisation reform movements in the late Qing Dynasty. The Qing have been defeated in many wars and Qing officials wanted to learn the warfare technology and industry of the west. Certainly there was knowledge that China had issues at the time catching up. The first diplomat sent to Britain from China in the late 1800s remarked that based on what he’d seen in Britain, it would be too foolish for Chinese to keep calling Westerners barbarians. There were also accounts of scholars going to western colonies such as Hong Kong in the late 1800s and being amazed of the efficient governance and clean streets.

@@raymondchan2583 in the movie "Opium War" where Lin Zexu "The opium burner" after checking the Globe that was given to him as a gift he remarked that the British clothing is "easy to wear", their knife and fork "easy to use in dinner" at the near end of the movie, reflection at the beginning where he scoff off the British as barbaric with their uptight clothes and bringing "weapons" like knife and fork in a dinner table.

The Qing Dynasty attempted modernisation without westernisation, which may be why it wasn't as successful as the Japanese one.

China is trying to become like America in material production

Much of the Asian and European modern culture is them trying to imitate American in their own unique way.

Abundant of food and resource is every country's dream. China is getting richer and richer. Very fascinating.

Beauty standards change over time but some cultures had really weird standards. Chinese used to like women with bound feet that walked with a waddle, had ghostly white faces, long nails (as in several inches), rounds faces, chubby cheeks, rounded chins, shaved eyebrows, and shaved foreheads. Look up "imperial chinese harem" or "chinese imperial concubines" and you can find old photos of the Chinese emperors concubines and wives. They look like chubby middle aged housewives.

@@jurisprudens Dunno about China but modern western European countries are all basically little Americas at this point, they've lost all their essence. And that's not a recent thing

@Josh Smith ties started off as ascots, which themselves were originally kerchiefs, which were originally just small scarves. They were originality used by cavalry officers to keep their necks warm and dry while riding and to soak up sweat in the heat, and later became a fashion item among the aristocracy. It wasnt until the early 1800s they became a standard part of western attire, mainly thanks to some Napoleonic era aristorcrats making them common in England and they spread across the globe during the Victorian era. I dont know of any occult ties though (unless you're talking about occult themed ties)

Its interesting how this has all been flipped on its head now, and "thick" is popular. Most famous celebrities and models are all of a size, shape and weight that would have been considered positively elephantine in the time period of this video. Theres the common phrase thrown around that goes "Only dogs go for bones", mostly by curvier women to justify their weight. Compare this to the phrase, often heard as recently as in the early 200s, "does this make my bum look big?" Because women didnt want fat asses. But now? Women buy jeans that have the sole purpose of moulding their bums into a shape that makes them appear larger! It's interesting how much our perception of attractiveness can be affected by sociocultural trends. Because there are obviously biological markers of beauty that surpass anything societal.

Hello Garrett 👏

He conceded the election once he exhausted all possible avenues leading up to the inauguration. This does not only fall within existing precedent, it is encouraged by the American legal system to route out corruption if you believe that you've spotted it. Bring wrong about what you thought was corruption is another story entirely.

*accept Lol.

@b phillip Thank god the democrats never questioned the legitimacy of an election after losing and then accusing the winner of being a fascist. Say what you want about the Democrats and Republicans, both sides are very good a deescalating political tensions and conceding losses and not whipping up the public rage until everyone is literally frothing at the mouth because the US is imminently in danger of turning communist/fascist.

Yeah, Americans used to believe that their democracy was somehow immune to corruption and subversion. Now, not so much.

It's kinda difficult to concede in the face some numbers: 213 million registered voters, with a 66% turnout (WaPo); that's 141 million cast votes. If Trump receives 74.5 of the above figure, that leaves 66.5 million votes available for Biden. How did Biden get 80 million votes? We have roughly 13 million unaccounted votes. I know...

HAH it's hostile. Asian hostility is obviously beyond your comprehension. An attack on one's dignity and pride is a fatal offense to the people who wrote this account. Believe me, it was hostile.

It was a fresh foreign perspective and not hostile I agree with you.

I'd argue it's not foreign at all, just the views of an old privileged U.S. college grad leading with his asian parentage for authenticity. The fact he almost entirely dismisses poverty in America, barring the lip service to hint at the problems with racism, is something you don't see from most foreign observers. The politics also seems to have a bit of political motivation behind it, bashing domestic criticisms as if Americans of the 1950's couldn't comprehend what tyranny was and that for all the problems this is as good as it gets. Super Amero-centric. Also the guy grew up in the west and went to college/lived in America, not a super foreign take nomatter his parentage.

It's a quarantine for evil, for those who rejected the sacrifice of Christ for their sins. There they will pay for their sins themselves, for all eternity. Among the things that are of God, that will not be found in Hell, are rest/sleep, peace, water, fulfillment, understanding, joy and most of all: hope. None of these things will be in Hell. There will only be endless suffering and no respite, not even for a second. Since God's justice is perfect, there is a heavy price to be paid for sinning. We have all lied, and stolen, and cheated, and fornicated, and hated and blasphemed. We are all wicked, myself included, for I have done all those things. You can either accept that Christ paid that sin debt in full, or reject His sacrifice and pay for your debts yourselves in Hell.
