@nongpokng, From why I have heard , China has an open door for negotiation with India but Modi has refused to meet.

it's not easy because India claims territory based on old British Raj maps and China claims based on Qing dynasty maps, both are overlapped, so unless one of the countries gives up the claim normal friendship is difficult. Although I wish friendship comes back@@kennedy6618

I hope Manipur will gain independence soon. North East people doesn't belong to India. The British made a huge mistake. North East people, linguistically, culturally, and genetically, are totally unique on your own. Only when Nagaland, Manipur, Assam and all the other parts of NE become independent, then you would achieve your total independence and prosperity.

Would save so much in defence expenditure, freeing up funds for more public transit in our cities But I don't see that happening under Modi's watch, as he has failed to deliver the economic prosperity that he promised, he'll likely fall back on jingoism

That’s why the western system is inferior

@@qjtvaddict It's difficult to brushed off Western democracy as inferior. There must be conditions to be met for it to work well, to truly reflect the needs of its people and not just corporations and special good. Besides, you don't need a revolution to change a government. China's political and economic system is still evolving as new challenges emerge.

​@@Time4Peace Nah inferior is the accurate term. We lack standards that align with basic human rights and a system that benefit the majority. That's literally an inferior system. We technically have an authoritarian system masquerading as a democratic republic. A bipartisan system with both parties on the right is essentially a one party system. Actual Western political standards pretty much define this yet we're foolishly led to believe that deviation from the guidelines and standards of Western politics is even an option. We're literally living proof of why Western politics frowns upon our particular system.

I think it looks like state propaganda. For example, the Chinese term a century of humiliation begins with the opium wars and it was not about the UK invading China, it was about trade rights, the Manchurian Qing dynasty forbade or restricted foreign trade like forever, and it was resolved by the two opium wars. After that the Taiping rebellion in China killed 20 million people and weakened the state, which is a pattern repeated in Chinese history of 2000 years. Only in 1937, China was invaded by the Japanese, and that lasted for eight years, after that the communist rebellion supported by the Soviet union killed 20 million people, and Mao's collectivization in 1958 killed 36-45 million people with starvation just like Stalin's collectivization in 1932 killed 10 million people with starvation. Forced to allow foreign trade is nothing compared to millions of people being killed from civil war, peasant uprising, starvation, and invasion in the Japanese case. In fact foreign trade and introduction of new world plants had enabled the Qing dynasty to double its population from 1750 to 1850, and after the opium wars, China began to learn Western technologies and civilization, which continue to this day, which is nothing worth feeling humiliated .

The political system and central bank were created by Sidney Rittenberg. Communism is not a Chinese idea. Its a Talmudic one. The State religion of the CCP is the Talmud. 1.4 billion people are too lazy to research this ... lol. The CCP is Kaifeng Chinese ruling over many with the Talmud and a bit of Deng Xiao Peng.

Agreed. And at the end Lan said "China is a very lonely country" which is historically true and why the culture has developed aloof from foreign influences unless it was the Mongols or the Turks. And now Xi wants to fire its best customer, the US, because he's afraid the European enlightenment may actually turn a few minds in China.

中国的儒家思想和法家思想，让中国很难分裂

You can see that you are an anarchist and liberal, which is really not a problem in peacetime, but when you encounter a dangerous situation, such as an invasion by a foreign enemy, there will be problems with coordination and organization. In addition, liberalism may be useful in places with low population density, but it is definitely a disaster in the case of high population density. There is an old saying in China, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are interests. Human beings in frequent social activities will inevitably involve conflicts of personal interests. If collective interests are not addressed, then the increase in conflicts is inevitable. Maybe you will tell me that it can be solved according to law, but the law cannot solve all problems and cannot cover all situations! Paying attention to collective interests is conducive to reducing conflicts between people. Most Chinese are atheists and believe in Confucian culture, which has many tenets, such as: gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are the same but not harmonious. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. These creeds help different people in society to coexist peacefully, and it can be said that Confucian culture provides Chinese most complete moral code of social behavior! And these moral principles form the core of the inclusiveness of Chinese civilization. If you want to understand it in depth, I highly recommend reading Confucius's Analects, perhaps you will have a deeper feeling! Second, China is the only country among the four ancient civilizations whose civilization has not been interrupted, which actually has a lot to do with the fact that Chinese pays attention to national interests over personal interests. In history, the ancient Chinese dynasty was often violated by nomads from the north, in order to resist the nomads in the north, the agricultural civilization in the Central Plains had enough strength to resist the invasion of the northern nomads only by uniting together, which formed the common interests of the people of the Central Plains. Whenever the farming civilization of the Central Plains was divided for its own interests, the nomads in the north would always take advantage of the situation and plunder the wealth of the farming civilization. In modern times, too, when China's last feudal dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, ended, warlords in various parts of China formed their own interest groups and fought each other, which also gave countries like Japan the opportunity to invade China. In short, whenever China was divided, the people suffered great disasters, and the slaughter of the farming civilization in the Central Plains by the northern nomads in history, and the killing of 35 million Chinese people by Japan during World War II are still vividly remembered. Every Chinese wants a strong state to protect itself. For the sake of the country's strength, it is worth sacrificing some personal interests. The strength of the country lies first of all in the reunification of the country, which is why Chinese hopes that Taiwan can be reunified with Chinese mainland. Why ancient Greece and Rome finally fell, I think it has a lot to do with their inability to effectively unite against a common enemy in the face of foreign invasion. I would like to say that there is no more peace-loving person in this world than Chinese, because we have witnessed too many killings brought about by war, and in order to avoid war, Chinese want national unity and cling together for the common good of peace. Third, China's great progress in the past four decades is inseparable from a stable environment, in the eyes of Chinese, stability is greater than everything, we prefer social stability rather than daily street demonstrations! China's multi-ethnic culture is rich and colorful, many different ethnic groups live together in harmony, and although the United States is the largest immigrant country in the world, China is perhaps the most culturally diverse and inclusive country in the world. Finally, I would like to say that China is far less terrifying than you think, and your fear of China is more due to a deep incomprehension, and perhaps all this can only be answered more fairly and objectively after you personally go to China to experience.

@@user-lx8sw2jv1w 分久必合，合久必分

China's history tells the Chinese people that when the country is divided, there will be endless wars, and the people will live a very miserable life in turbulent times, so the Chinese people have a firm attitude towards national reunification. Before the establishment of the PRC, the land of China had experienced a hundred years of cruel wars, such as the Opium War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (35 million people died), the Nian Army Rebellion (millions of people died), and the Shaanxi-Gansu Rebellion (21 million people died, the main victims were Han Chinese, Manchus and Mongols), the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 (millions of people died), warlordism (tens of millions of people died), the first civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party (millions of people died), and Japan took the opportunity to invade China in World War II (1931-1945, more than 30 million people died), the second civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party (1945-1950, tens of millions of people died), the Korean battlefield (1950-1953, mainly military casualties, more Koreans died), The Chinese people live during 1840-1953,are really the most miserable.

In my opinion, the Malaysian Govt should learn from Chairman Xi and promote Communal Prosperity and redistribute the wealth of the country equally. Shame that the Malays are so gentle even towards a minority who hoard the wealth of the nation. Take for example the Malaysian Chinese durian farmers who encroach on state lands to plant trees and then demand that the economic fruits of their labor be wholly theirs and not shared with the country. Unsurprisingly, the Malaysian Chinese media totally sided with the thieving farmers. CCP styled governance especially that of the Xinjiang model should be imposed on Malaysian Chinese.

It's all very "good feely" isn't it? Never mind that if one criticizes the Chinese government, one is imprisoned at best, or put to hard labor, and executed at worst. Hardly any dissent allowed. And the Chinese government pretends that they are strong? Like Hitler's Nazi Germany, apparently strong on the surface, but inherently weak.

Do your own research. A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Right, they only kill and place people in concentration camps within thier own borders.

I can understand Chinese anger at wrongs perpetrated by the West in the 19th century, by the imperialist powers. Does this, though, justify the remarkable Chinese quasi-imperialist expansionism along the trade route, principally via the use of essentially unrepayable loans used in construction of major infrastructure throughout Asia, including airports, harbors, bridges, roads and the like? Expansion in the past eradicated Tibet, its culture, now more and more its language among the young there, etc, essentially it's been genocide of Tibet. A genocide worthy of comparison with the worst in history. And now the Uigur people, a non Han people, slow being reduced to slaves, poverty, expropriation, within China itself. Finally among the horrendous problems of current China that need exposure, there is the surveillance state: if the exploitations of China by the West in the 19th century were the prior great humiliation of the Chinese people, then surely the plight of ordinary Chinese in the current surveillance state is the second great humiliation. The video couldn't have been better in dealing with Confucianism, the Opium wars and it outcome today in current Chinese resentment against the West, and the remarkable unity of China brought about by Chinese values of community and family, but the speaker in this video really should do a second video in order to adequately deal with the new problems just mentioned, essentially those of expanionism along the silk route, the internal surveillance state, and the genocidal repression of the Uigurs. Other intractable problems, like the status of Taiwan, fears by China of US encirclement of it through recent treaties, the current U.S. policy limiting visas for Chinese students for study here in the U.S. (a problem that is as damaging to the U.S. tech industry as it is unfair to Chinese students wishing to better learn technology) - these new problems of Chinese internal and external aggression are the outcome of the successes scored by China's century-long struggle to one of the two current major world powers, the U.S. being the other. Another video might helpfully deal with such current problems.

Meh... The real reason is that the west had, first, the age of reason and then the enlightenment. That's absolutely unique in the entire world and is where "western" thinking comes from. Individual rights, human rights, equality... That stands in stark contrast to much of the world and we oppose authoritarianism in principle. In the end, we brought forth modernity which no other place, China for example that was much more advanced at one point, has been able to do. The rise of Asia was powered by western know how, patents and consumer markets, and much of the issue with China is unfair practices from market access to IP theft, so that all on you... However, chances are that we keep our edge, given that our system made all this possible in the first place.

@@DomFortress Isn’t victimhood mentality the spark of revolutions in the west albeit it is against the monarchy and ruling class? In China, the revolution against the Qing dynasty is not so much because they felt oppressed by the monarchy but because they felt the emperor cannot protect them. Therein, lies the big difference. The legitimacy of its government does not lie in the simple one man one vote but tangible result of what the government can do for its people. Other than the famine and cultural revolutions which are huge mistakes during the early transition years, the growth of China to what it is today is proof that the current system works for China and the young generations have the opportunities to go abroad for studies, travel, business etc and choose the life they want.

@@SimingLan Tbh your accent tells me a lot about your experience and outlook. Clearly you are trying, perhaps unconsciously, to simulate the accent of the country you are currently visiting. Your views, as such, are similarly Westernized- you either view their society as superior or you were forced to use the accent to "fit in"- why? In the same vein, while you mentioned some good points, you immediately dismiss anything positive about China's government in favor of it being called authoritarian and ending the discussion there. You may believe that you are being neutral, but were you aware of the facts, you would know that neutrality does not lie exactly between two opposing views. Point 1: Chinese people favor authoritarianism because of Confucious sheep- I would dispute that. Chinese people favor systems of governance THAT WORK. The CPC has drastically improved the lives of the people, something most Western govts cannot seem to do- see gun violence, homeless tent cities, incarceration rates, homicide rates, etc all accelerating in the biggest democracy of all, the US. Point 2: The 100 years of humiliation being propaganda- the Opium war caused the widespread addiction of millions of Chinese, all to profit Britain. Indeed, so-called free and democratic countries have for decades sought to enslave and impose their will on hundreds of millions of people. To this day in fact- see Iraq, where 1 million civilians no longer exist because someone decided that double tap drone strikes on weddings cause "freedom and democracy" because oil is nice to have and alternatives to the US Dollar system cannot be allowed to exist. Ironically the very first democracy in Greece relied upon a core group of male elite voters who were supported by millions of slaves. A system not dissimilar to how Imperialism in the West has flourished- via the suffering of others for their own benefit | Let us call a spade a spade, and acknowledge the fact that Western democracies have neither benefited foreign countries nor even their own people. Why would pragmatic people choose a system that clearly fails at every instance apart from enriching a core group of the elite? One that seeks to deter any Asian country from rivaling their own on a fundamentally racist basis- China was not the first, when Japan was an economic threat even their staunch allies forced them to sign the Plaza Accord which collapsed their economy causing a lost decade or generation. How can they trust a system that flourishes by promising the impossible to citizens and delivers nothing unless it is taken by force from foreigners, one that would certainly only be corrupted by existing foreign powers?

@chenxuanzhang5236 greetings, Every Government/State may be seen as a functional structure of human society, the real difference between the West and the "rest of the world", which are mostly authoritarian regimes, is not so much the idea of representation, as the author of the video points the virtue of "filial piety"(Same concept the romans had), but the divine dignity of the individual and his divine right to partake in Goodness. Now because of materialism, the West is losing these values and demanding social utility to value human life, that's why aborption and euthanasia are being politically rallied for by some. The point is, the Christian Religion, and the Catholic Church(which gave birth to Europe and indirectly grandmothered the American Continent) teaches that God became Man not to punish and dominate but to serve and die for their sins, as an appeal to their conscience(conversion). That puts every ruler in the wall as someone who is expected to rule by example in sacrifice for the Good of all, not only by a society he may eventually disregard and oppress but by God Himself(Truth) which shall judge him eternally(His consciousness, if more palatable). But historically this absolute independence from Political Accountability started with the Protestant Kings, then the Bourgeoisie will use it for the independence from the political responsibility, that is, the public destination of Goodness. Finally Communism will be born as an attempt to guarantee the public destination of Goodness through the public sourcing of it, of course it will not work and just lead to more oppression, because the problem is not any system, but human nature, which is assumed in the West from the jewish-christian testimony as "Fallen"(Original Sin). I believe Real Communism is the Communion of Saints, that is, people need to choose to be charitable in order for Communion to really happen, now I see no problem that society and the public structure, the state, encourage people to do so, it is actually its nature to seek the public good, for people can be less or more charitable, but being minimally charitable is an universal moral health issue. All this being said, the western christian democracy differs from the greek pagan democracy, in the first, people ideally serve eachother(A bit like ideal Communism), while in the second, people only serve themselves through the republic. Once Communism sees divine dignity in a single individual, like Christians, it will be the only acceptable political system in my opinion. Monarchy supposedly has Harmony and Personality(which is human like), but on earth, as a christian, the Divine Personality of Christ came to harmonize through service. My vows are that Our Lady under the title Empress of China(which is venerated even in other countries of your region) bless your country and guide it to Glory. Peace

Because they care not about human rights and democracy in China, but about.What they care about is whether they can colonize China economically all the time, so democracy and human rights are just shells to cover up their goals! Because of China's socialist system, they can't exploit the loopholes in China!

Yes, but that is the point - nearly all Westerners personally disagree with the Chinese style of government but institutionally, they're not actually forcefully reshaping China. That being said, the West allows itself room criticize that which it doesn't agree with. The West has a right/wrong worldview which allows it to use speech to identify good and bad practice verbally without actually taking action. China, on the other hand, is much more careful with spoken words. In Chinese, to actively criticize something is to say that it should not exist.

@@kaixiang5390 The freedom of speech in the West is indeed relatively free, but it has also brought about quite a few problems. For example, in the French riots today, the Macron government called on the media not to spread false information. China people's understanding of freedom of speech is that you can say what you want, except those that affect social stability, national security and violate morality and laws! In fact, a stable society is the foundation for China to make great progress in the past forty years! In the process of growing from a developing country to a developed country, some people's interests will inevitably be sacrificed, which no country can avoid. Just as in the last century, with the economic development and the reduction of external threats, China's freedom of speech will become more and more relaxed!

What about the definition of self-determination? The West only cares about the right of self-determination of every human on this earth, including the Chinese. Let's hold a referendum closely monitored by neutral international observers in which your beloved Chinese communist party asks Chinese people if they prefer to live under a communist one-party system or a multi-party system? If the majority of Chinese people decide that they prefer to live under a communist one-party system, then the West will respect their decision and will not be critical of the Chinese Communist Party anymore. That sounds very fair. So, when are we going to have such a referendum?

We're all biased. I think I have a say in this as someone who fled from russia a decade ago. The whole world itself is pro-dictatorship biased to be specific. Because in dictatorships most things are hidden and journalists who's even trying to uncover anything there are fled or disappeared or in jail. So when you're comparing a democracy vs dictatorship you're inevitably comparing 80% of visible bad things in a democracy that you know very well since they have been examined by thousands of independent reporters vs only 1% of known bad things in a dictatorship which by some miracle was known because of some brave reporter. As a result 80% of bad things in a democracy look about equal or even worse than 1% of known bad things in a dictatorship. And so we're all hopelessly pro-dictatorship biased. Hopefully AI will help us get out of this hole, but then again - dictators will spend billions to keep this illusion go on..

This is a fake account

Contrary to what is said here, famine and cultural revolution also happened in many "democratic" countries (if there is such a thing), mostly instigated by the Capital. And China suffered because of Western interference, invasion, bullying and crimes - so most of the negative points about China in this video was mostly caused by Western war mongering for the sake of the billionaires. Bear in mind that was Wall Street that financed the Bolchevique revolution through the mega financier the jewish Jacob Schiff .

No, it’s my account and I’m real. My user ID is wonky tho, I can see why you’d think its fake.

This is just another Propaganda Channel with a different approach. Its so obvious that all of this is highjacked by chinese Botfarmes!

Yup as a Malaysian Chinese sometimes low key are blessed that we are that we got it lucky compared to Mainland Chinese

But I doubt you'd welcome Chinese-style government "rule" over you, would you?

I have many Black friends and I voted for Obama. So what?

It's not even the point about voting, even with voting you had a fraction of democracy. Only the legislators are elected. Not the executives, the judiciary, the military, the press and civil service. So even with fair parties you get one fifth of democracy.

@@satyakisil9711 Usually its a decision to choose the least objectionable party to vote for and when they get into govt they change everything they said to get into govt. The Govt/parties /politicians just lie and lie to their citizens these days you only had to read the western media covering the Hong Kong riots or the war in Ukraine to realize how much the western media lies to all and sundry. and the western govts are in denial and will do anything to retain world power. Not much has changed since the 100 years of humiliation in China, the west will humiliate and exploit China, Russia, Asia , Middle east ect ect if they get the chance.Plus they think they are superior and are very racist.

You're correct Robert Meehan ,it happened in the 80s, then president Ronald Reagan & then UK PM Thatcher collaborated and pushed forward the "NEO LIBERALISM" agenda which totally weakened Labor unions for the benefits of the billionaire elites, famous statement by Reagan "government is not the solution, government is the problem", fast forward 40 years, looking back on how wrong Reagan got it,so much despair & homelessness, no social safety net, fabric of our society destroyed by neo liberalism, people have no dignity ,what a travesty, currently there's protests all over US trying to organize labor unions ,I hope they succeed,, cheers

I do sympathise with your pessimistic outlook on UK democracy. And feel like it does needs to pickup the pace for change. Well, the UK governmental structure has always been evolving (perhaps at a painfully slow pace). From an autocratic monarchy to a oligarchic parliament - ahem, constitutional monarchy (despite not having a codified constitution). Would going to a multiparty state (more than 2) resolve these issues though, even when we still have an unenthusiastic electorate? Look at Belgium still having no Gov due to coalition chaos. Or perhaps a Swiss style governance, give the electorate some direct say on certain issues (oh wait, we already had the Brexit fiasco). Overall, there seems no easy answer sadly.

It sounds like the US.

About your point 2. I think that comes from Daoistic tradition. I have been reading books about Daoism lately and it is such a fascinating philosophy unlike anything we have here in the west. In the west we are obsessed with definitions and laws something that is not true for China. It is a shame that eastern philosophy is so ignored in the west. We could learn a lot from it.

@@vault13dweller15 I am glad to see you understand Chinese culture. Taoist philosophy is only a part of Chinese philosophy. Of course it is one of the most famous representatives of Chinese intuitive rationality, but it is not the root. If you understand Confucianism, you will find that its ideas are also completely composed of intuitive rationality based on real life.

It was a Chinese American entrepreneur Eric Li , he's a venture capitalist currently residing in Shanghai,think he graduated from Berkeley

East and West can learn much from each other. This fact is nothing new, btw, and has been known among the educated classes of both cultures for millennia.

Hi Shannon, I'm really happy you watched the video! And to your question: it's more of a personal feeling. Opportunities are flooding to China yes, but as a nation, there is a culture of people feeling there are too many misunderstanding from the outside world. I hope it makes sense :)

@@SimingLan it does. Thanks.

I do think her expression is that communism with Chinese characteristics is hard for other countries to follow and tbh China also do not want to export it. So in that sense it can be a little lonely

@@chengwoonlew7227 I think this is a very interesting topic and I am keen to research more about it .

@@chengwoonlew7227 Very interesting. Good insight there!

People in the West are brainwashed by its mainstream media and propaganda without critical thinking. As Chinese are more educated today, they will be more supportive to their country in a rational and patriotic way.

Yes, particularly in the US, the democratic process as been totally usurped by corporate interests, resulting in a public that keeps falling further behind, getting poorer and poorer. This downward spiral ultimately will lead to social collapse.

Very much so. I think people in the West are greatly manipulated by the media and by corporations and advertising. And the governments (UK and US) are subservient to corporate interests. They are not doing a good job of fulfilling their social contract to improve the lives of their citizens. However, in some countries such as Canada, Japan and in Scandinavia (and China),for instance, they are doing quite a bit better job.

@@trekpac2 You think so? What do you think of China today? I have been hearing US is going to collapse but now it seems like China is the one going to collapse.

Yes, very true.

This is just another Propaganda Channel with a different approach. Its so obvious that all of this is highjacked by chinese Botfarmes!

@@Pulsar692 Frankly after watching a lot of her stuff (and reading a bit of blog), I really doubt that she is anyhow affiliated with government or CCP propaganda (I could give you detailed reasoning why, but no need to do that in public comments). I think you really exaggerate CCP propaganda abilities - they wish they had people like Siming, but they don't... Their propagandists are a lot more obvious and lame (you can read a good number in Global Times, for example). So please don't try to discourage a young, courageous, open-minded and dynamic person with false accusations... Rather try to give constructive suggestions of a better path forward if you don't like something in it.

Thinking that everybody is a CCP stooge is like thinking politicians are all lizards lol.

Duh, West is actively abusing its influence. There's needs to be check and balance.

The rhetoric that China's goal is to extend its influence is utter hypocrisy. Look at the actions of the US compared with China. The US has a prime goal of extending its influence, spreading a quite sick hegemony primarily by a form of bullying and escalating to force. That is born out by history - what was the goal of Vietnam? Stop Vietnam having a communist government. Why? Because it is undemocratic. What does that even mean? Democracy has recently delivered Trump and Biden, school shootings continue, education standards fall comparatively behind, the US medical support system is failing for most of the population. The US has influence many regimes because it wants to spread its influence to benefit itself at the expense of the people internally and in the countries it has destroyed. Taiwan supporting the Corrupt Chen Kai Shek, Vietnam supporting the corrupt Ngo Dinh Diem, Iran supporting the Shah, Iraq after supporting Hussein to counter Iran, the Taliban to oppose the Russians. The US has 600 odd military bases around the world exerting its influence. China on the other hand is focussed on growth and lifting the standards of the population and the Chinese communist system has (again by evidence) achieved amazing results. Are they seeking to extend influence or are they gaining influence by pursuing their goals of economic growth for all their people? Compare the results.

This video is communalism propaganda. The "a hundred years of humiliation" is what the schools in China want kids to believe. But in that "a hundred years of humiliation", population of china growth 4 times, people were very happy about the government getting many defeats. In fact, people of china help the western army to invade Beijing, the royal palace was burned and looted many times, mostly by the people of china. In 1949, at the end of a hundred years of humiliation, China had established heavy industry in the 东北. Chinese GDP was one of the best in Asian and #8 in the world. Just 10 year after the communalism new China, GDP was #50+. Economic and the quality of life was way worst that before. Of course, the CCP does not want to take the blame, so they made up the "a hundred years of humiliation". Like, who the f care about the queen and king getting humiliation when people have better life? And who the f were happy if the leaders were winning the war when people's life were going to hell??? Nice psyop.

Have the opportunity to come to China to experience life.

proud being colonizer? as far as we know, han chinese genocide ancient people in South China as known as people in Southeast Asia today.. han chinese were longest being colonialism entire world history.

The Word , "China"is an anagram of the name Caihn.. variants, Kane, Kain, Cane, Qin, Cain..and who was Cain?..He received the First Mandate from God.. God gave the following judgment(mandate) to Cain: “And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer(spread Civilization?) on the earth” (Genesis 4:11-12). Cains answer:“My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, you have driven me today away from the ground(Sacred Ground/Paradise of God?), and from your face I shall be hidden(Godless?). I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer(spread Civilization?) on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me” (Genesis 4:13-14).

​@@yolandosoquite3507 pretty sure "China" wasn't a thing in the minds of men roaming the middle East... and they definitely don't speak English in the bronze age.

I hope Siming Lan knows all the foreign powers, imperial powers, and colonial powers that humiliated China you mentioned are all Western democracies and democratic powers. The only question is why didn't the Western democratic powers teach the Chinese democracy or practice democracy when they were ruling China, ok, part of China, for example, Hong Kong. So, it is too late for the West to pretend they care for the Chinese, for it is like a wolf teaches the sheep democracy while eating a lamb, whose name is​ Siming Lan.

@@yolandosoquite3507 and yet Zhongguo has nothing to do with Cain - nice story but no cigar

i dont think she know what she is talking about. i give you very clear example. 4:45 country or state in chinese is 國 not 国家 . In fact 国家, is japanese. LOL the word is in modern chinese because Sun Yat-sen who studies in japan imported the word. 🤣 somehow she thinks, communism worked for chinese. but concept of communism has nothing do go with confucianism. 😂 and she thinks democracy and human rights is "western" thing. completely ignoring the other china , republic of china (taiwan) is 100% democratic country with human rights. and so is most of asian country except northKorea and PRC. 😂

@@tocreatee3585 I have no other comments on this topic except for, OH BOY.

​@@tocreatee3585I guess she is working for the CCP Ministry of Misinformation. Wouldn't surprise me.

I am quite the opposite of pro china and still can watch this video and agree with you that she is very smart and and what she is explaining is interesting. My stance on china has nothing to do with hating people there or not being able to accept that they have a different political system. I simply understand that at the end of the day I live in the west and I like the way I can live. I don't like the way their political system works. Not at all. I don't mind if they have it and keep it. I just don't trust that if they would reach the same level in terms of power as the west or let's better say the US, that they would not use it at some point and start to "influence" our lifes in the west. Tawain is also a no go and that is something they don't seem to let go off.

The imperialist europeans of the past made a BIG mistake. That doesn't justify what China continuously does from since then. Political persecution still existis, if you flee the country there is a secret international chinese police that brings your against your will back to Chine, concentration and doctrination camps, and the very known social credit. The Taiwanese chose the right thing: Not cultivate resentment and be better.

Jesus brah, turn it up

Many Westerners demonize the CCP too much, wrongly believing that the CCP is oppressing the people. This shows that Westerners do not have a correct understanding of the CCP and Chinese history. I can guarantee that the support rate of the Chinese people for the CCP is much higher than the support rate of Westerners for any political party in their own country. The biggest mistake of Westerners is to use their own thinking and values to understand the Chinese people, but Chinese people have different values from Westerners. China has thousands of years of history. Westerners should not impose their own values on the world. arouse the resentment of other countries.

In Chinese history and culture, you want to participate in politics not by elections, but by examinations. In ancient times, it was called the "imperial examination" system. Then you start from the grassroots, accumulate experience in governing, and gradually rise to the top. Therefore, Chinese leaders have experience in governing rich political elite. China will never be the leader of the country like Trump who has no experience in governing through elections.

@@thedownunderverseyeah the propaganda comments here are strong.

@@MoDa87 🤣 its soooo obvious

The difference between China and the West serves to illustrate why independent thought in scientific research is impossible in China and why no Chinese scientists ever contribute to newly published papers. The last statement is complete nonsense of course, as are simplistic explanations of around one fifth of the planet's population. Apparently they are all humans who are all capable of independent thought. Even if someone else has had very similar thoughts to them, given that there are 8 billion of us, on a planet that will not be able to remain habitable for most without interpreting scientific analysis in a reasoned peer reviewed democratic manner, possibly leading to later change. Universalist politics and religion often serve to prevent this, from Galileo on onwards (and probably before...)

Mainland Chinese are subject to a media and education system which promotes racism, supremacism, and hatred for all other nations. No nation is compatible with that by design.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of every western citizen to choose a government that can coexist peacefully with China instead of confronting it. Otherwise, confrontation and war will bring each other into a dangerous situation!

@@user-kw4jc6wb9c : A typical threat from a typical tyrant. Nothing new, just like everything the CCP has created.

Actually there is another explanation about 国家 coming from the first president of Taiwan (Lee Deng-Hui) . He simply puts out the idea that without families there won't be any state. Given that the Chinese people I know are more concerneded about their families than they are about the country his explanation is as valid, even for Chinese people.

Christianity is losing its influence even in the West. In Australia, the % of people who are Christians have decreased to only around 10% of the population.

It does however mean acceptance of the other, the way the CCP treats minorities and those who don't embrace their narrow ideology leaves a LOT do be desired...

@@BobyourUncle China has 55 ethnic minorities. Yes there are issues in the govt's dealing with a couple of minorities in Xinjiang and Tibet, but you hardly hear any of such issues with the other 50+ minorities. Why? The fact is both Xinjiang and Tibet have been targeted by the US government (CIA) to try to separate them from China for geopolitical reasons. Eg. CIA trained Tibetans in 1950s against China, which lead to the exile of the Dalai Lama. The US has never stopped trying to create chaos in these regions. I do admit there are mishandling and even mistreatment of the minorities in these regions, but that's mostly a result of fighting against foreign interferences.

@@chuanmeixu1246 I think you may need to read a history book that wasn't written by the CCP - its common knowledge that Tibet was invaded by China in 1949. The US had nothing to do with that travesty of justice. Self determination is a fundamental human right, the people of Tibet and Xinjiang should be left to run their lives as they see fit without being subjected to "re-education" and dispossession of their lands.

@@BobyourUncle You may need to read a history book that is not written by a biased Western propagandist. Tibet was already part of China, so the CCP took over Tibet was part of it's process of gaining actual control of the whole Chinese Mainland after it won the civil war with KMT. Your "common" knowledge is wrong. During the Qing Dynasty (China) the Qing Emperors sent ambans to Tibet, which was a (highly) automomous region of China.

Then why do you think the Chinese is acing the standardized tests, such as AMC and SAT, so well but barely anything in literature? It’s’ because critical and creative thinking is formidable in a tyrannical country where party critics are ltrl thrown in jail. The only Chinese who can criticize the Chinese Communist Party that are not sitting in jail live exclusively outside the mainland China because that’s where the CCP has no control.

I am sick of this binary narrative already. What is 'the West'? What is 'the East'? No one bothers to define either clearly. Do we need more invitations to categorical thinking? In my own life there is so much interchange between the two categories, despite the fact that my known ancestors emigrated from Europe. Probably few people are aware that South Korea has the world's largest churches, or that more Christian missionaries come from that country (per capita) than from any other, the USA included. There happen to be large, heavily populated zones besides North America, Europe, and East/Southeast Asia. Are these nothing more than venues for imperial competition between China and the USA? Why should we always get our way? We do not always know, let alone desire what is best. As the Lord's Prayer says: '....Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.......'

@@marcusonesimus3400 " What is 'the West'?" Good question, and as you allude to, it is difficult to pinpoint. One definition is Europe minus Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, but plus USA, Canada, Aurstralia, NZ. Others would include S. Korea, Japan, Singapore in 'the west'. You might also say that 'the west' is a set of ideas commonly known as 'the liberal world order': Democratic states with individual rights, rule of law, commitment to human rights, etc., etc. For the purposes of this video, the difference seems to be in cultural background and difference in how a society should function.

@@marcusonesimus3400 It is binary because the rest takes up little to none value in the discussion. even my sociology profess had to say that aside from male and female binary, the intersex people only makes up something like 1.5 or 1.7 percent of the world population. it's not small when you convert them into actual numbers but it is still so minuscule comparing to talking about the "binary" thus man and woman. just like the west and east people easily think of China vs. the USA. Just give you one way of looking at the comparison through GDP. The US GDP is something like 23 trillion and to China it's 16 trillion. If you look at other western countries such as Germany, UK, and France, their GDP respectively is 3, 2, 2 trillion. If you look at other communist/eastern countries like Vietnam or Laos, they don't even make it to 500 billion. so indeed other eastern and western countries has a place in this rivalry, but they play a much smaller roles of China vs. USA.Though Korea by your insight it is a very Christian country, their GDP is less than 2 trillion and and their population is just around 50 million, this is still non-comparable to the USA (something like 330 million people and 23 trillion of GDP). When you look at proportion yes maybe South Korea is more Christian than USA but the world doesn't look at the proportion but the actual numbers. Just like China is poor on average but as whole it is second biggest economy in the world. if by GDP Per Capita Singapore would have been a much more influential country on the global stage given their gap per capita is staggering 70k USD, but they are not because they only have 5 million people of population which is almost ignorable when you, again, look at the size of USA and China.

West are American client states, East are Chinese client states

wow, a glazer, who would've thought

The thing is it's not the chinese system or planning that generated wealth. It's foreign (mostly western) investment pouring into China to exploit cheap af wages and manufacturing there. That's it.

No, biden have told all the americans working in china to quit working for the chinese or lose US citizenship and all americans flew back to US.

Ironically, what she proposes is old-fashioned orientalism

@@lacdirk I disagree with her when she says that in the West, you have freedom of views. The mainstream media is so overwhelmingly biased that your views are moulded not based on objectivity but on prescribed narratives. However, she is spot on about how China evolves the way it has.

In other words, your students could not WAIT to ESCAPE from China! That just answered every possible question anyone could have about China.

Your comment caught my attention and I asked google Gemini to expand on it, the response gave me tons of insight!: You're absolutely right, the gap between English and Chinese can be vast. Here are 7 key differences in mindsets and structures to consider: Analytic vs. Holistic: English: Analytic - emphasizes breaking down sentences into subjects, verbs, and objects. Chinese: Holistic - focuses on the overall meaning of the sentence rather than individual parts. Word order can be more flexible to convey meaning. Explicit vs. Implicit: English: Explicit - often relies on prepositions and articles to show relationships between words. Chinese: Implicit - relationships between words are often derived from context and word order. Individualism vs. Collectivism: English: Individualistic - grammar often reflects the actions and states of a single person. Chinese: Collectivistic - grammar can consider the group or hierarchy more than the individual. Directness vs. Indirectness: English: Can be more direct and to the point in communication. Chinese: May use indirectness or politeness markers to soften requests or avoid confrontation. Concreteness vs. Abstractness: English: Often uses concrete nouns to describe concepts. Chinese: May use more abstract or metaphorical language to convey ideas. Time Reference: English: Tenses are crucial for indicating when an action happens. Chinese: Less emphasis on tenses, often relying on context or adverbs to indicate time. Writing System: English: Alphabetic - letters are combined to form words. Chinese: Logographic - characters represent words or concepts, requiring memorization of thousands of characters. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective communication: Misinterpretations: Literal translations can lead to misunderstandings because of these inherent grammar and cultural variations. Importance of Context: Context is key in Chinese communication, both verbal and written. Cultural Nuances: Understanding the cultural background of each language helps decipher the intended meaning. Remember, this is just a glimpse into the vast differences. By acknowledging these chasms, you can approach communication and translation with a more open mind and a greater appreciation for the richness of both languages.
