All of these are extremely hard to pronounce correctly for the text to speech app lol

As an Indian, I found this as a good introduction to China. Despite China being 2nd largest economy in the world , we hardly have any news about China except for the border disputes. Indian media needs to become more mature and give us Indians more extensive coverage on China.

As a Hong Konger: DLLM we don't just swear all the time Laugh die me, what 9 you doing

As a Sichuanese, I’d like to add that Sichuan can actually be divided into 2 parts, east part Sichuan and west part Sichuan. East part is usually considered as part of traditional Han culture district as it has been conquered and included since Qin dynasty (more than 2000 years ago), formerly known as Shu country (蜀国). West part is actually part of Tibetan plateau where the culture is similar to Tibet itself. So in the video the description is more about east part of Sichuan. And Sichuanese dialect is similar to mandarin as it is derived from mandarin, so most of my friends who speak Mandarin Chinese can understand if I speak my dialect(if I speak slowly).

5:25 You mentioned German cars for Liaoning which only has BMW in there while you completely ignored Jilin which has Volkswagen and Audi.

As a Canadian I can confirm France is just west China and Beijing is north Hong Cong

My mom's side of the family is from Fujian. Can confirm i do not understand the dialect.

This is legit a good beginner to introducing different Chinese provinces. It’s not too biased, it’s straightforward and simple, great job!

As a Chinese, I thank you for not clumping all Chinese people as one group like the rest of the "China experts" on KZfaq

4:22 Spicy food 5:52 Spicy food 7:01 Spicy food Got it, Southwestern China is spicy foods

I need to point out that only the southern parts of Jiangsu speak Wu, the middle and northern parts actually speak some mandarin dialects. The province that most of its parts speak Wu is Zhejiang.

The three gorges dam is actually situated in 湖北

Didn't know china was so diverse

As a Vietnamese I say Chinese people from Shandong are quite similar to what we have with Vietnamese people from Hai Phong or other Northern coastal areas. People from there are usually tall, strong and light skin.

It's 2:17 AM here, I still love to watch your videos.

I'm happy you included some internal jokes. As a manchu who is from heilongjiang and still in my friendgroup with a shangdong. Zhejiang. Guangdong and shaanxi. We do have jokes with eachother. Great video xixixi

Top quality stuff here as always.

Surprisingly accurate, for the most part xD

Fun fact: Nanjing is the capital of ROC till 2002 de jure. ROC is commonly known as Taiwan. 1:56

I am Chinese, and I want to say that you really have a deep understanding of China. I think most foreigners do not understand the relationship between Taiwan and China, but you mentioned the historical ties between them. In fact, the mainland and Taiwan are still technically in a civil war. The mainland views the Republic of China as the previous regime that retreated to Taiwan after being defeated but never ceased to be part of China. Initially, Taiwan also considered both the mainland and Taiwan to be part of China, pursuing a goal to reclaim the mainland. However, with the mainland's growing power, they have given up on this goal and are now seeking independence.

China:"remember in China gay ain't exist" Sichuan:

Why didn't i not notice your new video for like 12 days and another for like one month 😭

I like how belt&road project sidestepped russia, because the Chinese were smart enough not to throw their money into the incinerator

I LOVE YOUR CONTENT! GREETINGS FROM COLOMBIA!

So UK is Anglo-Saxon proper but Australia Canada and the US are territories occupied by Anglo Saxons ?

Wow, the video is on point. Really detailed and precise.

I travelled trough China and really loved it, the people, food and the cleanliness of infrastructures like train stations are the best. And then u go back to the wild west Europe, were a train doesn’t even show up and a homeless is pissing on the floor next to you while two dudes stab eachothers

Thank you for this easy to understand and unbiased explanation

Good video

China you mean north greater Hong Kong? Asking for a friend

A lil bit stereotypical but mostly are very accurate

What if a North Chinese Woman and South Chinese man get married

As a shandongnese, I can support that everything he said is correct about shandong! We sometimes literally eat raw spring onions with some seasoning as the only side dish in our meal!

As someone who watches the video from Colombia I loved it, I am learning Mandarin and finally I see the Chinese diversity captured in a video, where I live I leave my house and there are about 20 Chinese restaurants around that makes me wonder from which part of China these people emigrated, the provinces that I find most interesting are Yunnan, heilongjiang and sichuan, I wish we had a direct flight from Colombia to China

Count: how many “stereotypically” are there in the video. lol

2:03 Only less than half of Jiangsu speak Wu dialect, In the northern part people just speak mandarin.

Greetings from Poland Gr8 vid as always

good content

For Fujian Province, I want to supplement: we are the top 1 province producing and consuming tea, instead of Yunnan Province😁The world's first Black Tea (Lapsang Souchong) was developed in Fujian, so it's the starting point of old China's Maritime Silk Road. BTW, as we are located nearest to Taiwan, we are the poorest province in the southeast of China (investing from governments to Fujian are deemed to be in vain as it's the first warplace between mainland and Taiwan so the central government just don't invest us...), which obliged Fujianese to migrate to the world to make a living (or else we are poor to death). Fujian has hundreds of dialects (the largest in Chinese provinces) as it's a remote area in the ancient China for escapee from northern China to live. 75% Taiwanese are descendants of southern Fujianese and speak Southern Fujian dialects (hokkien). BTW, I don't like Taiwan, as Taiwan governments has killed hundreds of Fujianese fisherman inhumane in the last 30 years (recently killed two poor fisherman of Fujian in the 2023 Spring Festival😠).

This was unironically insightful and made me imagine going, until I remembered that they can just vanish me at any moment

Given the territory size of China, those disputes and culture diversity among people from different provinces are normal.

9:52 The story of Taiwan's success in developing in the chip industry is interesting.

Could you do the timestamps of the chinese provinces and regions please???

0:35 Southwest China is considered China proper, despite having some minority groups. This is because many of their cultures are similar to that of the Han.

you forgot the forth region of Dongbei（northeast）Hainan.（a famous meme about Hainan having a huge Dongbei population）

I love this channel

"Hello from the other side" Hilarious

Dongbei and Inner Mongolia are as China proper as Washington and New York, lands stolen from native Americans are seen as USA proper today.

“Mainland China thinks Taiwan is the last remnant of western imperialism and ideals” Existence literally based off a European ideology

Yeah thats right i think, "Everything" that exist in other places are exist in China too, including most part/thing that are didn't expected/considered by most people.

Vietnam as "mini me 2.0" 😂😂😂 dude I'm ready to throw hands!

North south divide in china India : first time 😂😂😂😂

8:30 Don’t get tricked by western propaganda: the 2D code is to bind the knife with your identity, which marks that this knife is all yours. 😂

Do a video like this but about Russia's regions

What happened to your Chinese dynasties video?

0:33 *just curious, isn't it the 🔟-dashed line now?* 🤔

I love the little CCP chinese nationlist in the corner lol

Wake up homies,Legend is back with new video ❤

Love China 🇨🇳❤

10:55 *now I get why (mainland) China wants to control Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan 😂* 🇭🇰🇲🇴🇹🇼

yo i am the one who made the yunnanball drawing ‼️‼️‼️(like years ago)

Fujian and Taiwan are sister provinces, same goes for shanxi and shanxxi, Guangdong and guangxi, tibet and Qinghai, gansu and Xinjiang.

Do all of America’s 50 states next

China are cool country But they disturb culturely because many dynasty kings ruled it with different name but in fact they are same and one language people nation 😅🇨🇳👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

I'd like to see this type of video for other countries❤

As a Chinese, yes this is a great introduction to China lol

made a video of the indonesian provinces

How about USA?

Seriously,these unrests were not spontaneous from those minorities.There is clear evidence that could demonstrate they were distracted by the foreign forces.CPC gives them nice life, there is no reason to stir up rebellions....

0:33 Explaining how the "Turk and Muslims" and "Manchuria" part are oversimplified: The "Turk and Muslims" region in the video is traditionally the mix of Aryan(for example Tocharian) and Han city states scattered across the oases in the desert, and they were mostly Buddhist, the Turk and Muslims are actually a new thing in those areas that becomes the majority only after Renaissance/Early Modern. The Turks are immigrants for that area, they were origianlly living in the western part of the "Mongol" area before Mongol even existed. So it is not accurate to describe "Mongol" or "Turk" area because they are not settled in stationary places. And the Muslims in China are actually started from the Southern costal area where Han Chinese is the majority of population (what the video called as China proper), where Ṣaḥāba (companions of the prophet, including his uncle) entered China by sea route with Arabic merchant ships. "Manchuria" is a fake modern thing made up by Imperial Japanese colonization before and during WW2. Historically, the Manchu people never regarded those areas as something called Manchuria, they only see Liaoning as their homeland, while the two other provinces further up north are still considered as barbarians even for the Manchu who were already considered as barbarians by Han. The Manchu thing is actually a translation error. Manchu actually comes from Manjushri the Bodhisattva of wisdom, this comes from Tibetan Buddhist Lamas, they usually call the ruler of China(including Tibet) as the Manju Emperor, and the last one is the special case when monarchy no longer exists so they later just used Manju Chairman Mao. The ethnicity of those people are mainly Jurchen, and the core is Jianzhou Jurchen, the geographical term used here is Jianzhou, it is a zhou(an administrative division) of Liao Dong(Liaoning East). So they should be called Jurchen from Jianzhou, not Manchu from Manchuria(word invented by colonizers). This translational error is caused by mixing "ju" from "Manju" with "zhou" from "Jianzhou". And Manchu is a newly formed identity after the Qing dynasty is formed, it is more of a military aristocracy instead of ethnicity, the majority of Manchu are the eight banners, even though they call it "8", but actually there are theoretically 24 of them, because there are 8 of Manchu banners, 8 of Mongol banners, 8 of Han army banners. Actually there are only 23 of them, the Bordered Yellow Banner(the one that the emperor belongs to) of Han army banners is missing, by the law of Qing dynasty, Manchu can only mix breed with Mongols, so the emperor's royal family banner can't really have Han people in them. In reality, they are still married to Han people, because "law" isn't really a thing for the emperor when they insisted on marrying a Han woman as the empress, so what would actually happen is that the Han women will be adopted by a Manchu family before they are married with Manchu so in the legal documents it will be "Manchu-Manchu" instead of "Manchu-Han" marriage. A weird thing is that both the 8 Mongol banners and 8 Han army banners were also categorized as Manchu due to very chaotic society after the collapse of the Qing dynasty, even though they were never considered as Manchu during Qing dynasty. During Qing dynasty, being a bannerman is more important than being Manchu, this error is probably made when they mistakened the definition of bannerman with Manchu. Ironically, most of real Manchu people(by "real" I mean the Jurchens from Jianzhou) registered their ethnicity as Han to avoid people seeking revenge on them after the collapse of Qing.

Dude repeats sinicization so many times it's like he learned the word yesterday. Why are you so cynical? Is your home country sinosized?

Can you also make: - Why Hungary and Romania hate each other? - Why Greece and Albania love/hate each other? - Why Spain and England/Britain hate each other? - Why Russia and Turkey hate each other? - Why Louxemburg exist? - Why Andorra exist? - Why Monaco exist? - Who are the BalticCountries? - Why are Germany and the Netherlands not together? - Why are Cannada and USA not together? - How did Japan become powerful?

Wrong. Autonomous region Xizang(Tibet) is conquered, but part of the living area of tibetan are in Province Qinghai and Sichuan. This can also be similarily applied to inner mongolia and Xinjiang.

From FuJian. He is very accurate even I can't understand them as a British born citizen

So Sichuan is both China's gay capital and where the prettiest girl came from, well, that's interesting

8:15 lots of muslims: understandable WINE 🍷 🤯

9:11 wood veneer and aunt screws 10:08 water cannons on a chinese coast guard ship

As a Beijingneese, it's true that some beijingners think themselves as typicaly higher than others,which we call "Tian Long Ren"（天龙人）cause some are pride of there identity as they are the offspring of the Qing manchuriens.There's also a chain of contempt inside Beijing basically like this:Mid-city (Ring No.2) > New-City(Four major district) > Near Suburbs > Far Suburbs. Yes, I'm from the far suburbs(／_＼)

Just some extra facts: 2:19 The province which Chiang Kai Shek is from 3:05 The place that Chiang Kai Shek was kidnapped by two of his generals who later convinced him to stop fighting the communists and start focusing on the invading Japanese. Known as the Xi’an Incident (西安事变） 4:34 The location of the Liaosheng Campaign (辽沈战役）which is one of the three massive campaigns during the Chinese Civil War 5:41 The territory of the warlords from the Gui faction (桂系军阀）led by Bai Chongxi (白崇禧）and Li Zhongren (李宗仁） 6:00 Territory of the warlords from the Dian faction (滇系）

*China mentioned* _= 1 thing that Hong Kongers, Mecanese & Taiwanese can agree on_ 🇭🇰 🤝 🇲🇴 🤝 🇹🇼

Please do "Why Poland and Hungary Like Each Other?" next

Ahh my guy, Why Hainan flag looks oddly the same as Kachin Flag?

A cyberpunk region looking very beautiful and many places too. I remembered a meme about Russian and China border. It is looks like very two different worlds. China side looks futuristic. And Russia side... a void.... wolfs... woooooooooo.....

I'm glad you included 🇭🇰

a master piece

3:03 ye as a Chinese (also in Jiangsu China w/ vpn on) Shanxi and Shaanxi are both same pinyin, just different tones, so the “a” is doubled because the different tone is on the “a”.

bros raising his social credit in case taiwan is invaded

🇨🇳💪🏼

I’m from Wuhan, Hubei. The presenter is absolutely spot on about Hubei locals being foul-mouthed and cunning😅

who knows where to find the left pic in 11:04

Barlhae was a Korean-Tungstic Country ruled by Korean aristocrats, has nothing to do with Chinese, I don't know why you put 'Chinese'-Korean-Tungstic. And the Han commandries didn't outlast the Han Dynasty, its a funny timeline you posted there. They were conquered around the 2nd century by Goguryeo.

身為一個東中國人（台灣人）我得說這影片很正確

This man probably knows more about the modern China than the average Chinese person fr

I'm Zhuang from Guangxi, and our language is more similar to Vietnamese or Thai, so it does feel difficult when we learn Mandarin😂

That picture on top right perfectly describes us lol 😂 2:11

Henan is like bihar of china 😂

Malaysia next please

Who pause every 5 seconds to take a better look at each slides?

As a Chinese, I'm tired of endless stupid "separatism" assumed by ignorant foreigners. Here I'll rate the actual level of each "separatism". Firstly, do not just call me "CCP's propaganda machine" or smth similar. Find a random Chinese in China and they will probably agree with what I said, including those who love CCP and those who hate CCP. Taiwan: 10/10. De facto independence, most people wanting to break away, and decent military power in the other bank of the channel. No need to explain more. Xinjiang: 7/10. Indeed, a large number of Uyghurs are not loyal to the CCP. But the situation is a bit overstated, as you can still find quite some Uyghur politicians or stars. And the actual situation is way more complex because you can't ignore the 50% Han people living there. Hong Kong: 4/10. What is usually misunderstood is that most Liberal democrats don't want to break away, but just want to improve democracy. As a matter of fact, only the radical liberal democrats want to leave. Tibet: 2/10. Indian propaganda fools many into thinking Tibetian people want to break away. No. At least not the common people. They don't want to come back to the serfdom in the old Tibet. Recall the "pathetic Tibetan" you have seen. They are either in the upper class or religious fanatics. I know a Tibetan friend and he is 20 times more patriotic than me. Inner Mongolia: 0.1/10. Imagine the 9% Mongolian(which is overstated because the children of a Han and a Mongolian almost always choose a Mongolian identity for the extra score in Gaokao) who want to break away from China with a GDP per capita of 13000 to join Mongol with a GDP per capita of 4800. No, they don't wanna do so. Manchuria: 0/10. Like why?
