Very interesting perspective on this idea of the east vs west clash… and the role of individuals in shaping the course of history… and the little tidbit on the role of Chinese women

US female Kesha song Tik Tok +10 years ago now billion of views. Love art but learn talent when the love turns to hate. We are all talented.

Wow. Amazing history. ✌😃👍

Thank you for this interesting trip to the Balkins and tying it to the geopolitics of today. It's very meaningful to me! Since I just saw this video you posted since April, today is end of June, can you add any followup to how TikTok has become the defender of the 1st Amendment and because of AIPAC and it's buying suppression in US Congress and continuing Gencide that if brought by FB or Google, which are Jewish led companies, TikTok will be the last of telling the truth for Americans! I like your impressions on this in another video perhaps?

Fascinating interview... one of the unintended benefits of trying to recognising over 3000 characters and then remembering the sound as well as the tone , is the development of brain power and capacity... Therefore someone who can fluently speak both say english and chinese which are fundamentally so different, i would say their brains would be far more developed and superior 😊

The three principles promulgated by Dr Sun Yat Sen were 民族主義, 民权主義and 民生主義！these 3 isms is about the race, the rights and the livelihood of the people!😅

Whether one doubts China's rising on whatever premises one bases one's views on, China return to the pre-eminent world power is inevitable. As at today's date itself, on based purchasing power parity, the Middle Kingdom's economy has already surpassed 'Merika! In a couple more years, China's economy will surpass 'Merika' in absolute terms.

My late grandfather and grand mother were one of his team members that came to Penang then to raise fund. Later they settled in Penang. Since as a kid been hearing my late grand mother talking about their time of those days. Nice to hear such history again. Thanks. Penang, my late mother birth place. Always a meaningful place in my heart.🙏

I note that the West, including America, has opted many times in its history to bail out institutions it thought were too big to fail.

Love your video. Always informative. Keep it up👍👍👍👋👋👋 Without the Western interference the Taiping would have succeeded. They interfered in china's affairs as they're trying to do today. They West slandered the rebellion as it's Chinese fighting to get rid of the West

China was too big and too poor to improve quickly.

No wonder Dr. Sun said famously " Overseas Chinese are the real founders of revolution of Rep.of China.

What a nice clean house.

Many of us in Taiwan still regard him as our Founding Father, although many young men don't know that fact now.

Swiftonomics as what it describes

i believe sun yat sen was also in kuching to raise fund becaUSE my family own a kuomintang flag and my father told me sun yat sen was in kuching

Emmanuel, I think I got what’s your point was about picking the U.S. side on TikTok. But you tried to shorten your opinions into a 1 minute non-sense. I think you should clarify your opinions in a more concise summary. Your insightful thoughts are the first that made a lot of sense on how technology sequencing and attaining successes. Thanks for sharing your time with us.

Me a Singaporean Chinese listening to a Singaporean Indian (I presume) talking about China's history and historical figure with the Chintown houses as background. Thank you sir.

Very nice, interesting, enlightening and factual evidence of the impending growth of the Chinese economy!

Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

Thanks for your beautiful introduction of Chinese modeling history, which this can be teaching most of a young Chinese student today that’s great great information that you have given it. Thank you.

Well, I didnt know that he had a house in Penang been there 1993., otherwise I wouldve visited the place.

This is a good commentator 1:18

Other than Mr sun, Penang also got other interesting history. 1. Dr wu lian teh, a penang guy who invented quarantine system in china and inventor of n95 mask. 2. Wwii memorial in air itam.

8:08 I believe the uprising is called XINHAI (辛亥), not Qinghai which is the name of a province.

A very interesting account.

Awesome explain thank you for share this video to us sending salam ❤ to you from jkrta

I enjoy your history telling but disagreed with your ideas and uncorrected history and personal comments. In order to think correctly one must deep understand the root of culture and timelines.

Thank you so much for this video! It means a lot to all the Chinese descendants in the world. He unselfishness not just for the Chinese. He aimed for the world peace. It said very well in Chinese in his Declaration.

Incredible insight of Ming Dynasty history and the voyager of Admiral Zheng He.thanks you for the history.

Thank you Mr.Emmanuel Daniel for the insight story of Mr.Sun Yat Sen.

Strictly speaking, Sun Yat-sen never ruled all of China.

I lived in Penang 3 years, cycled round Island etc and never learned of this. Lee Kuan Yew had no woman minister when Justin True-dou had half his cabinet of women and had always consulted committees. Different World.

Such a delightful history of Sun Yat Sen in a most interesting story form. Much appreciated indeed. Thank you.

Thank you Sir, for sharing this information with us.

You can't use reform to be applied to every nation with very different culture and back ground. Try your reform in Malaysia on taking away Bumiputra privileges. The country will collapse. I believe there is more than one way to skin the cat. White cat or black cat, as long as it can catch mice its a good cat. This is why China is ahead competitively. Most of the world still living in the western cultural and ideology shadow of a zero sum game. It's either my way or high way. BTW India wasted years trying to mimic the west but lack the power, the resources and status to implement. It has to adapt and come up with what is best for India. Its the same for Malaysia. Its the same with China. Running a country of 1.5b with 4.5b meals a day like clockwork and to come this stage being the biggest economy by PPP, they must be doing something right. Be humble and look beyond your fixed gaze and learn. China is not perfect but they have plenty to teach you and me.

Enjoy your thoughts please share more

Great reading of the events of the past thank you

Hats off to you ! In a 25 minute video, you have made a number of insightful points that are so helpful to understand the history of the revolution.

One cannot discussing history of a country in simplistic isolation, simply because there are geopolitics in play. Also even dernocracy itself is a social experiment.

Which country on planet earth is not a piece of work in progress? For that matter, which human being is not a piece of work in progress as well?

love your storytelling, Mr. Emmanuel!

辛亥革命 Xinhai Revolution October 10 1911, not Qinghai.

Very Interesting Mr Daniel. I find it intriguing that you mentioned The Best Is Yet To Be. This is the motto of my alma mater. I guess you are from the same school (seeing that you have the same vocal mannerisms). It is only in recent years that I became more interested in the Asia perspective of history, having been educated in what can only be described as a quintessential Anglophile institution. Separately, my paternal grandfather was a well-known community leader (at the turn of the last century right up to after WW2) & again, it was only recently that I began to learn more about him with much information coming from various third party sources. I a still trying to collaborate the information about him and the history of Singapore (where I am domiciled), China and Taiwan (my ancestral home is in Kinmen).

Thank you so much Emmanuel for an informative video of SYS in Penang, Malaya. Having said that I feel that you are too optimistic about the future. I feel that time is running out for mankind and the future looks bleak for everyone. Good intentions and ambition will not translate into reality. There will be conflict between the West and the Rest leading to the fall of the Anglo-American western empire and its obliteration from the annals of history. For those who survive in the global south, they will have to live without Anglo-Saxons in power. How this will turn out only time will tell. If things go according to predictions, the new world will be utopia but with a much smaller population with humans having talents, psychic powers and abilities not seen in present humans. Good luck world!

How true...mahatir to introduce corruption as an endemic problem into this country

Thank you very much Daniel for sharing your thought and knowledge about Sun Yat-Seng and cotemporally China history. Your sharing was factual and interesting. The world is big enough for all of us to prosper, regardless of race, language and religion. I am from little Singapore🙂

Interesting to note that the Japanese collaborated with Dr sun ，actually pronounced as Dr Soon yik sen. According to the Japanese historians, the Japanese helped him to overthrow the Ching dynasty so that they can conquer China with Dr Sun's help.The Japs were wrong 😅

Would like to see some records/ data regarding China’s trade during the Ming Dynasty.😃.

there are some parallels but like you said yourself they are very different. Zheng He's voyages were to show Ming's magnificence, but today's BRI is to create economic growth to make common prosperity a future reality. Zheng He's ships came and went, but today's infrastructures will remain.
