It's uncommon to come across a younger "foreigner" like you who can see through the curtain and understand the CCP China as it actually is. I am a 73 years old Hong Kong born Chinese now residing in the US. Even my brother, sister and childhood friend do not possess your level of understanding. Happy to discover your channel on UA-cam. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
I think maybe you mean "foreigner" as people from the U.S? Young people here in Europe are VERY aware about the corruption going on in China. We have had several huge protests against the genocide's going on.
Fr. Teilhard de Chardin, a heretic, modernist in 30 years spent in China haven't seen totalitarian regime atrocities. I think he might have been a narcissist or narcissistic person. Narcissists tend to thrive in commies elite. A narcissist may not complain against narcissistic behaviour. Your family may not know 'Narcissistic Red Flags' or be too kind to imagine how narcissist operate.
Bro, I feel your frustration. My ex was the sweetest girl you could imagine. However when it comes to China she trusts all the propaganda and the Chinese news, always saying that all countries are the same and not better and is so nationalist. It gives me nausea to see how manipulated she is. I cannot imagine a future with such a brainwashed person who would trust the party before her foreign husband. It broke my heart but I had to let her go...
Good riddance. you might not have known it. but she was probably trained to be an influencer when she went to foreign language school inside China, bro. In another words, you have wasted your precious few years (AND hers) on a spy.
From Romania and over here is the same. Here they remember but don't want to remember all the attrocities that happen in the 50's. It's taboo, you're considered divizive if you mention anything.
💯 this. I remember when I was a kid and went to the Forbidden Palace museum with my family, my mom complained that the Guomingdang stole all the good stuff from the Palace and took them to Taiwan, so that the displays currently in the museum were super lame. I was kind of angry and felt that we should get it back from Taiwan. Now I realize the Guomingdang actually saved the valuables from being destroyed by the Red Guard, those dumbass pieces of shit.
If I recall, there was a trend a few years ago that many Mainland Chinese wanted to get historical artifacts as sign of nationalism. It led to a theft in the Oriental wing of a museum in England, I think.
I was canceled just like you and I haven't had a job for ....well it will be 3 years in July. I sure hope you can keep going because people need the truth.
When I was a kid, we used to play with a lot of these wind-up toys made out of sheet tin. Most of the ones we had were made in Taiwan ( most of the ones made in West Germany were a little too expensive for my family). Eventually, these toys would break down and come apart, but we would have a lot of fun in the meantime. One thing I remember, however, is that when we would take those toys apart , we would find that the flip side was actually the printed tin from various food containers made in the West... Now, with these tins collected scenes from food they had consumed that was sent from the West, or were they teens that were exported to Taiwan with the express purpose of being used as raw material to make those toys? From such beginnings, Taiwan grew to become what it is. And that, without famine.
@@thebeerhunter7307 I'm guessing you don't have any idea what the phrase "a wives tale" means. I'm talking about actual toys that we bought in the department store, which would eventually break, which we would then take apart. We would find on the side where the lithography design was not, there was the original lithography for the tens from which the metal was made. These printed tens had originally been for various things that were recognizable trademarked food items. Perhaps they were sent over as part of the efforts to save the people from starvation, or perhaps they were part of what was sent over for them to purchase in their own shops. The fact remains that I saw this with my own eyes, and this was a practice that people followed then. Old wives tale! I'm talking truth here, and you are being dismissive because it does not fit your idea of some narrative. You have a lot to learn about how thought and logic and history actually works.
My father had a early datsun model. I think it was a 1972 210 model and the inside of the door was made from a 7up sign. It surprised him enough to show it to me and his friends. I don't have photos of it but I'm sure he wasn't alone to have something like this in his car.
@@rogersheddy6414 more recently, a few years back, the collectors edition of a fancy graphics card (for computer games) came in a tin metal box. The inside insert of the lid could be pried off, to reveal it had been made from tin sheets meant for a couple brands of chinese tea. Thing is, it was perfectly flat, even where it would have been been bent to form the tea caddies. No creases. And the design repeated, the insert was made from what would have spanned multiple tea tins. At a guess, they were factory rejects (maybe there was a misprint, or the business went bust before they could be used up).
I remember a few Chinese students I taught in the USA who told me they cried upon landing in America and watching CNN and BBC etc and realizing all the lies they’d been taught by their teachers whom they’d been raised to worship and revere. They felt so betrayed! The world was so completely different than they’d ever imagined . Always fascinated and depressed me. It’s such a common story
My wife grew up in Communist Czechoslovakia, and your video really resonated with her. Insofar as her written English is not the best; I am expressing gratitude on her behalf - and of course my own. You have communicated truth during a time when others are prepared to weaponise ignorance.
I watched the girl(you know which one)'s face, and I'm genuinely sick to my stomach. She did NOT want to be in that situation, but she was perfectly accustomed to it. She just checked out. 💔
You mean the dancer? I don't think we can say for sure what she was feeling or whether she wanted to be there. I mean, don't get me wrong, you may very well be right, but facial expressions don't always say everything y'know?
Thank you for everything you have done for the Chinese. As a Chinese person, I have no chance and ability to tell foreigners the truth about China very well
It's all about each and every single individual ! Let's improve all our political systems: Internally, bosses of every level must also become responsible to the grassroots, especially in groups with delegated powers (police, parties, governments, courts, media, banks, infrastructure, health system, church and military). We know good, bad and ugly people in the direct (professional) environment. In order to support socially committed people and degrade charlatans, we need TRIPLE ASSESSMENTS by superiors, colleagues and subordinates that are effective for promotion up and down - regularly, everywhere!"
CCP: noted. jokes aside, I agree. Winston really did wake people up to the truth about CCP. I used to support the CCP but after I started watching Winston I started to change my mind. What he said really made much more sense than what the CCP put out. My most important takeaway from him was to separate the government from the people when criticizing/talking about a country.
But he shares his personal experiences. How ironic is you want to spoon feed somebody some total crap about China that isn't the truth. The truth is society is completely screwed up. People walk around spitting and people even pooping in the streets. The major cities are full of toxic air. I spent time in China and left because of the people. Of course I met a few great people but the truth is a "Chinese friend" will screw you over in a heartbeat for a few dollars/RMB.

In my personal experience the older people knows what happened on the square...my girlfriend's dad told me all about it.

I had an argument with a Chinese friend in China, who stated China beat Japan. In Kunming, China, at the Youth Hostel I stayed at their were a lot of pictures regarding the Flying Tigers. An outfit of pilots from the U.S., who volunteered to fight the Japanese and were the only form of an airforce fighting on China's behalf. The Flying Tigers were even featured on the English chanel of CCTV a couple years prior to my visit to Kunming. Chairman Mao hid his troops in the countryside and let the Chiang Kai-Shek led Nationalists do the fighting against Japan. Japan surrendered to Chiang Kai-Shek and the American Generals in Qingdao, China, the city my daughter was born in. I visited the house Chiang Kai Shek lived in, in Qingdao and this history is/was posted there. Anyways, Mao pushed a depleted force of Chiang Kai Shek Nationalists out to Taiwan after the war with Japan. This is why the U.S. defends Taiwan. The Taiwanese helped the U.S. defeat Japan, NOT the coward Mao.

Taiwanese didn't help the allies defeat Japan. During WW2, Taiwan was a part of Japan. Taiwan was in a war with China. Chinese Air Force dropped bombs on Taiwan. The history of Taiwan is complicated. Before Chiang Kai Shek and the Republic of China regime in exile came to Taiwan, there are around 6 million Taiwanese , and we have mixed feelings toward CKS and the ROC regime.

the chinese community party not only didn't help, my dad told me his grandpa witnessed and also heard stories how the CCP helped the Japanese to take down the KMT like raiding the KMT bases, stealing/blow up their food and supplies. my dad told me that many people his generation and older knows about it, but wouldn't speak or tell their kids b/c they are afraid of what might come. it's only after we migrated to the states that my dad started telling me stories of how he, his friends, and families he knows including had suffered before the 80s.
@@somponesakdy826they have third party accounts from both the red cross and independend foreigners on the rape of Nanking.

I'm an American who's lived in Shenzhen for 4.5 years. I remember in 2007 during my first visit to China, western websites were basically allowed with only some censorship. In 2013 when I moved there, they were about half allowed with moderate censorship. By late 2017 when I left, foreign platforms were basically all copied and then banned. I'm back in USA and the censorship I'm witnessing on UA-cam feels eerily familiar to China in 2013. There's a victim/snowflake mindset in USA that can not tolerate even mild differences of opinion. Being open to criticism is a sign of strength - not weakness.
In all fairness all the big western tech platforms Google , Facebook , Microsoft etc are all completely intertwined with the Military , intelligence agencies , NSA etc they openly receive billions and billions in funding ! Not surprised they’re banned in China tbh lol
Well you said it yourself. Freedom of speech in a society is relative to its power and stability. The west is powerful and stable: therefore more freedom of speech. China is under constant threat of collapse: less freedom of speech. China is becoming more powerful therefore you will see an increase in freedom of speech. The West is in decline therefore you will see an increase in censorship
Yet you have to remember that it is not freedom that brings power. It is power that brings freedom. The word is like a school. The powerful and respected alpha, who is living a healthy and good life and is happy with himself will tolerate more criticism and react to it much more positively than the one that is not doing well. Now when you are not doing well in life and then try to tolerate the criticism, people start using it to their advantage an mock you, often bully you. The weak and vulnerable students who are then not bullied are the ones that create a big Ego and defend it fiercely. These are laws of mankind. The same applies for nations, which are run by humans and therefore act like humans.
I honestly hope CCP does not close off China. Millions upon millions of Chinese will die hidden from scrutiny. But then maybe this will wake up the Chinese that never went through Mao era. This ramping up of Communist rhetoric is CCP gearing up fight Taiwan.

China was the first place in Asia I ever heard about. It holds a deep place in my heart. Always wanted to see it, to experience it. The more I learned about it, the more disappointed and frustrated I became. Luckily, there is Taiwan. After a time of wonder and excitement about China, now I'm just feeling sad. Keep up the great work Winston.
@harhsjjdafgadfsg - Well, far as i know Taiwan definitely knew something was up in china and closed the borders. Sounds like a very lucky and/or smart move you did there.
@harhsjjdafgadfsg - Too blatant... too disgusting. I was looking at the situation on and off in the beginning and god damn it. I can kinda understand listening to the WHO, as their point is to deal with stuff like this... but to listen to China? Coming from a post-communist country makes me so adamant against it but I shouldn't be so surprised tho... Many a people are very ignorant on the matter.

I am from a post-communist country and while we didn't experience the horror of communism to the same extent as the chinese or the soviets or the north koreans, we have gained the cultural scars brought up by it. Communism bad, no way around that. I'd love for the things Winston and C-milk not to be true but sometimes we can't really know, not as if everything that the CCP says is true either. They act like pseudo-news repoters, are you gonna dismiss them just because they don't look Asian, or non-western. If so, you're a fool my good sir.
Imagine having the nostalgia be so powerful that people who remember Mao still wish to go back to it. Maybe it is true that material wealth does not buy happiness, that being a fervent cult member is still looked fondly upon even when that time also involves starving every second day.
Around 40 years ago, USA and West opened up trading with China. This decision had two fold purposes, helping Chinese people in the great leap ahead advocated by Mao and undermines the CCP. In the last 40 years China's growth has been remarkable, but this coming to an end. USA are building a new anti Chinese cold war like the previous one with URSS. The West is going to cut the economics ties, decoupling the economies. China and allies will have to go separate ways from the West, This will hit hard the export based Chinese economy, CCP will have to prove if they can run the economy and must fill the social gap between industrial and rural area, between rich and poor. It is non a surprise that CCP is nervous
You know there are smart people in China that understand their awful history but are doing their best with the hand they were dealt. We all have to survive our lot in life as best we can.
Very true. Fun fact, Winston pushed this reality in a ton of videos. My heart cheers for all these brave souls for there is no greater peril in this country as it is most prejudicial to for a mainlander to try to enforce the Article 35 of the 1982 CCP Constitution that proclaims that "citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession, and of demonstration.".

Many naïve Westerners think they know more about Chinese history than Chinese. Chinese know that without the emergence of the Communist Party of China, China would have been torn apart, and there would be no China today. If China had been ruled by the Kuomintang, it would have lost much of its territory and would have been coerced and controlled by the United States.
@@周军-i4w you're overestimating the power of the CCP and the US. If the US could "control", they would do it, but as you can see, japan still has all of their government structure from WW2, because The US was occupied with the communist soviet union. Japan was simply guided them, and left after the cold war ended. If you even watched the video, the CCP did not fend off invaders from china, even the US helped the kuomintang to beat the japanese, but the CCP just took advantage of the weakening government, and took over. The CCP is only a shift of the power in china, they don't benefit the people more than the kuomintang.
@@WoodChoppa911Taiwan is the Kuomintang, do you see whether it is the Chinese that really controls Taiwan now?

@@nursesida views only count after a significant percentage of the video has been seen. This prevents people gaming the system. Likes and comments show immediately.
The youtube counter works just fine, it's your understanding of the system that may be incorrect. Perhaps this information can help you understand how it works. When you click through onto a video, youtube starts your "watch time" on the video. If you immediately click the like button, it shows up in real time. It is an instant calculation in the algorithm. Comments work this way as well. You can scroll down and comment in real time while you are actively watching the video. So your comment shows up in real time. But youtube doesn't count your "view" on the video until you either finish the video or when you actively leave the video during run time. So if 100 people click on the video at the same exact time, the video won't have any views. But if 3 people clicked like immediately after the video loads, you will see their likes. And if 10 people commented during that time, their comments will show up. Only when you and the other 100 people *LEAVE* will the algorithm calculate your watch time (for backend analytics) and calculate the views. Only when the next person gets the video recommended will they see 100 views, 3 likes and 10 comments. It's constantly shifting in real time to run calculations on the back end. But now you can understand the equation.
I always like Winston's videos before watching them (his vids are that much of a good value and, you never know, I might have an internet or power shortage before finishing) then can't resist posting a comment before the end (yeah, I'm like that) then, after replying to 300 comments and thumb-uping 1017 more, I go to a UA-cam Channel video and just tell them I think they are not doing as much as they could in the form of the most insciduous trolling I can muster.

I’m a student from China and I’d like to say many of the things he points out in this video is actually written in our history and politics text books. For instance we are taught that the Famine is greatly correlated with the CCP’s temporal policy mistake, and we’re also aware of the importance of the aid that we received from the Western world as well as the nationalists. We Chinese people are not that brainwashed and blinded, instead we’re reflecting ourselves all the time. CCP is candid about its mistakes, and a lot of Chinese writers have done great self-reflecting literary work about the past like Mo Yan and Yu Hua. It’s the Westerners who may reflect themselves whether they are misguided by the deliberate negative comments from the media.

Winston, Don't feel bad about asking for support on other platforms like Patreon or Subscribestar etc. You have put in years and years of hard work deserve to paid in some way for it. You always do great work and your drone shots, filming b-roll and editing are skills that typically demand a salary under normal circumstances. It's unfortunate that youtube seems to be siding with the CCP more and more lately. I would just offer a small word of advice to be careful about how you advertise or ask for people to support you on other platforms. I don't know the TOS in and out but be wary of them trying to strike your channel for trying to filter subscribers to other sites. I love the work that you do and it would be a shame if youtube could take advantage of some little know rule to push you aside. But keep up the great work and continue to be proud of the content you produce. You are fighting the good fight.
@cross hatch2 Like I said i'm not an expert or anything but if you look into the TOS for youtube and do some diggin into it then you can find specific answers. But in general youtube doesn't allow you to run ads or promotional links to off site with other AdSense ads. They don't want you promoting traffic to other sites they don't approve of. I was just saying this advice in general to bring attention to it. I can't point to any specific instances where it has been a violation, but just hearing other creators say things like "I got a strike because I had link in my description they didn't like" or "i got an email warning me that I can't ask people to go to (blank) website". I don't think there is any problem telling people that you have a patreon in your video. But it might be a violation to literally ask people to go to your onlyfans and then provide a specific link. you know what I mean ? That's what I was trying to say is basically just be careful that you know what you are doing is allowed by their TOS. You don't want to give them an easy reason to be jerks to you. That silly difference in telling people you have a patreon (but not literally asking them to go to it). Those kind of weird scenarios.
It's simple: UA-cam gets paid by companies for putting ads for the company products in videos. And then share a small amount of that money with the video creator. Those companies either already have a market in China, or they dream of one day being able to enter China and make lots of money. Those companies also don't want their ads to show up on "Anti-China" videos like these, because it might hurt their (potential) money from China. UA-cam therefore labels these kinds of videos that show the Chinese government in a negative light as "inappropriate and ineligible for ad revenue" to discourage making videos that is "Harmful to the revenue of companies and therefore UA-cam". This happens not because the video is "bad" or "violent" or "repulsive", but because speaking the truth of the CCP might hurt UA-cam's revenue.
My wife of 5 years is a chinese citizen, for now. We met online, I went to her in china and she has been in the U.S.A. for those 5 years. In the beginning I never talked about the ccp or things in china or of their history. She is educated and an engineer. I knew it could be a deal breaker so I waited until she was here. She didn't believe the things I told her. She started reading blogs and conversations of chinese Americans online though she NEVER talks to any chinese here. She was dumbfounded to learn that they all said the same things I told her. Then she discovered the many chinese Americans with you tube channels and became obsessed with watching them and quickly figuring out who was really ccp mouth pieces. It didn't take long for her to admit that I was right and she was very sad that chinese people are so seriously brainwashed. She LOVES Trump and can't figure out what the hell is wrong with democrats. LOL Shes gone back to china 3 times to visit. Most of her friends and family, none of which I've EVER met even when I lived with her for a month, criticize her for her decision to leave china and believe it is her that is brainwashed. She never talks to them about her wonderful life here and how happy she is. You can't tell a chinese that you have something better than they do. They will just attack you. Of course she's a big city girl but she LOVES living in the country here and wants nothing to do with big city living again. I made a 2,000 square foot garden for her and when she told her family, they were sad and thought she had the life of a peasant. It's the fault of the chinese that she sought love in the west. She hates that it common that chinese husbands and boyfriends have girlfriends and thought she could never find true love in china. We'll be traveling by motor home soon and would love to meet up with you and your family along the way.
The irony is the right-wing American exceptionalism is as misguided as the CCP. Let me be clear: US Democrats and Republicans are economically right wing. I don't care as much about about the social stuff, that's easy to do after the economics has been taken care of. Because economics comes first. Europe is also moving to the right economically in a lot of countries. The American Dream is dead in the US (the statistics is: social mobility). It's more alive in Europa than the US. Social Democratic policies is what has created that. Which is only slightly left of center. If trends continue than societal collapse is just a matter of time.
@@autohmae you really think it's as misguided as the CCP? How is the American dream social democratic policies? Societal collapse is always just a matter of time
It's uncommon to come across a younger "foreigner" like you who can see through the curtain and understand the CCP China as it actually is.

Your family may not know 'Narcissistic Red Flags' or be too kind to imagine how narcissist operate.
Bro, I feel your frustration. My ex was the sweetest girl you could imagine. However when it comes to China she trusts all the propaganda and the Chinese news, always saying that all countries are the same and not better and is so nationalist. It gives me nausea to see how manipulated she is. I cannot imagine a future with such a brainwashed person who would trust the party before her foreign husband. It broke my heart but I had to let her go...

From Romania and over here is the same. Here they remember but don't want to remember all the attrocities that happen in the 50's. It's taboo, you're considered divizive if you mention anything.

💯 this. I remember when I was a kid and went to the Forbidden Palace museum with my family, my mom complained that the Guomingdang stole all the good stuff from the Palace and took them to Taiwan, so that the displays currently in the museum were super lame. I was kind of angry and felt that we should get it back from Taiwan. Now I realize the Guomingdang actually saved the valuables from being destroyed by the Red Guard, those dumbass pieces of shit.
So sad to think about all that was lost in the cultural revolution
Yep, so glad that the legitimate Chinese government still keeps them at the Palace Museum instead of having them be destroyed.
Sad that you can’t even say that while in China, saying something truthful
If I recall, there was a trend a few years ago that many Mainland Chinese wanted to get historical artifacts as sign of nationalism. It led to a theft in the Oriental wing of a museum in England, I think.
@@mmyr8ado.360 Happened in Norway too. In 2010 and 2013. In total 79 artifacts from China was stolen.

When I was a kid, we used to play with a lot of these wind-up toys made out of sheet tin. Most of the ones we had were made in Taiwan ( most of the ones made in West Germany were a little too expensive for my family). Eventually, these toys would break down and come apart, but we would have a lot of fun in the meantime. One thing I remember, however, is that when we would take those toys apart , we would find that the flip side was actually the printed tin from various food containers made in the West...
Now, with these tins collected scenes from food they had consumed that was sent from the West, or were they teens that were exported to Taiwan with the express purpose of being used as raw material to make those toys?
From such beginnings, Taiwan grew to become what it is. And that, without famine.
BS,,,,,, a wives tale, same as Japanese 1st cars made from Chevron or Mobil oil drums with the logos inside the doors............ go check yourself
@@thebeerhunter7307
I'm guessing you don't have any idea what the phrase "a wives tale" means.
I'm talking about actual toys that we bought in the department store, which would eventually break, which we would then take apart. We would find on the side where the lithography design was not, there was the original lithography for the tens from which the metal was made. These printed tens had originally been for various things that were recognizable trademarked food items. Perhaps they were sent over as part of the efforts to save the people from starvation, or perhaps they were part of what was sent over for them to purchase in their own shops. The fact remains that I saw this with my own eyes, and this was a practice that people followed then.
Old wives tale! I'm talking truth here, and you are being dismissive because it does not fit your idea of some narrative.
You have a lot to learn about how thought and logic and history actually works.
My father had a early datsun model. I think it was a 1972 210 model and the inside of the door was made from a 7up sign. It surprised him enough to show it to me and his friends. I don't have photos of it but I'm sure he wasn't alone to have something like this in his car.

@@rogersheddy6414 more recently, a few years back, the collectors edition of a fancy graphics card (for computer games) came in a tin metal box. The inside insert of the lid could be pried off, to reveal it had been made from tin sheets meant for a couple brands of chinese tea. Thing is, it was perfectly flat, even where it would have been been bent to form the tea caddies. No creases. And the design repeated, the insert was made from what would have spanned multiple tea tins. At a guess, they were factory rejects (maybe there was a misprint, or the business went bust before they could be used up).
I remember a few Chinese students I taught in the USA who told me they cried upon landing in America and watching CNN and BBC etc and realizing all the lies they’d been taught by their teachers whom they’d been raised to worship and revere.

It's all about each and every single individual ! Let's improve all our political systems:
Internally, bosses of every level must also become responsible to the grassroots, especially in groups with delegated powers
(police, parties, governments, courts, media, banks, infrastructure, health system, church and military).
We know good, bad and ugly people in the direct (professional) environment. In order to support socially committed people and degrade charlatans,
we need TRIPLE ASSESSMENTS by superiors, colleagues and subordinates that are effective for promotion up and down - regularly, everywhere!"
CCP: noted.
jokes aside, I agree. Winston really did wake people up to the truth about CCP. I used to support the CCP but after I started watching Winston I started to change my mind. What he said really made much more sense than what the CCP put out. My most important takeaway from him was to separate the government from the people when criticizing/talking about a country.
But he shares his personal experiences. How ironic is you want to spoon feed somebody some total crap about China that isn't the truth. The truth is society is completely screwed up. People walk around spitting and people even pooping in the streets. The major cities are full of toxic air. I spent time in China and left because of the people. Of course I met a few great people but the truth is a "Chinese friend" will screw you over in a heartbeat for a few dollars/RMB.

The names Mao and Stalin should create the same or even more negative feeling as the name Hitler. Unfortunately, a lot of people admire them openly without shame
Propaganda is a military grade tool, disinformation reaches deep in people psyche. Teach them better :D
The biggest problem is thinking that people should be admired only for their good actions, and that ideas should be attacked like persons.
When you kill the RIGHT people and have the same social, economical, and political opinion as those men that are idolized by the American Left... there is no reason NOT to openly embrace them.
Of course, Moa and Stalin were far worse than Hitler. Unpopular fact but it is fact. In terms of raw destruction to their own country and population. People forget that Hitler was not the only enemy at the time. WWII was fought on many fronts.

I had an argument with a Chinese friend in China, who stated China beat Japan. In Kunming, China, at the Youth Hostel I stayed at their were a lot of pictures regarding the Flying Tigers. An outfit of pilots from the U.S., who volunteered to fight the Japanese and were the only form of an airforce fighting on China's behalf. The Flying Tigers were even featured on the English chanel of CCTV a couple years prior to my visit to Kunming. Chairman Mao hid his troops in the countryside and let the Chiang Kai-Shek led Nationalists do the fighting against Japan. Japan surrendered to Chiang Kai-Shek and the American Generals in Qingdao, China, the city my daughter was born in. I visited the house Chiang Kai Shek lived in, in Qingdao and this history is/was posted there. Anyways, Mao pushed a depleted force of Chiang Kai Shek Nationalists out to Taiwan after the war with Japan. This is why the U.S. defends Taiwan. The Taiwanese helped the U.S. defeat Japan, NOT the coward Mao.
@@bluehotdog2610 The Nationalist formed Taiwan and they fought with the Americans to defeat Japan and this is why Taiwan has America's loyalty. I never mentioned who controls Taiwan today because I dont know and I dont comment on what I dont know, but apparently, you do.

@@bluehotdog2610 I'd find your comment funny, but I just can't. It's so backwards, I'm even thinking you have an agenda here... and not the good tasting one.
Taiwanese didn't help the allies defeat Japan. During WW2, Taiwan was a part of Japan. Taiwan was in a war with China. Chinese Air Force dropped bombs on Taiwan.
The history of Taiwan is complicated. Before Chiang Kai Shek and the Republic of China regime in exile came to Taiwan, there are around 6 million Taiwanese , and we have mixed feelings toward CKS and the ROC regime.

I'm an American who's lived in Shenzhen for 4.5 years. I remember in 2007 during my first visit to China, western websites were basically allowed with only some censorship. In 2013 when I moved there, they were about half allowed with moderate censorship. By late 2017 when I left, foreign platforms were basically all copied and then banned. I'm back in USA and the censorship I'm witnessing on UA-cam feels eerily familiar to China in 2013. There's a victim/snowflake mindset in USA that can not tolerate even mild differences of opinion. Being open to criticism is a sign of strength - not weakness.
I live in Chinada and Bill C-10 will put a firewall around this broken little nation
In all fairness all the big western tech platforms Google , Facebook , Microsoft etc are all completely intertwined with the Military , intelligence agencies , NSA etc they openly receive billions and billions in funding ! Not surprised they’re banned in China tbh lol
Well you said it yourself. Freedom of speech in a society is relative to its power and stability.
The west is powerful and stable: therefore more freedom of speech.
China is under constant threat of collapse: less freedom of speech.
China is becoming more powerful therefore you will see an increase in freedom of speech.
The West is in decline therefore you will see an increase in censorship
Yet you have to remember that it is not freedom that brings power. It is power that brings freedom.
The word is like a school.
The powerful and respected alpha, who is living a healthy and good life and is happy with himself will tolerate more criticism and react to it much more positively than the one that is not doing well.
Now when you are not doing well in life and then try to tolerate the criticism, people start using it to their advantage an mock you, often bully you.
The weak and vulnerable students who are then not bullied are the ones that create a big Ego and defend it fiercely.

The West is going to cut the economics ties, decoupling the economies. China and allies will have to go separate ways from the West, This will hit hard the export based Chinese economy, CCP will have to prove if they can run the economy and must fill the social gap between industrial and rural area, between rich and poor.

If the US could "control", they would do it, but as you can see, japan still has all of their government structure from WW2, because The US was occupied with the communist soviet union. Japan was simply guided them, and left after the cold war ended.
If you even watched the video, the CCP did not fend off invaders from china, even the US helped the kuomintang to beat the japanese, but the CCP just took advantage of the weakening government, and took over. The CCP is only a shift of the power in china, they don't benefit the people more than the kuomintang.
@@WoodChoppa911Taiwan is the Kuomintang, do you see whether it is the Chinese that really controls Taiwan now? The Kuomintang has divided Mongolia and lost large swathes of territory in the northeast. If the Kuomintang rules China, Tibet and Xinjiang will continue to split. Even more unable to recover Hong Kong and Macau
@@周军-i4w welp, time to collect your keyboard warrior paycheck eh?
@@周军-i4w as it should be. Tibet and Xinjiang aren't Chinese and should be free. The CCP made a promise to HK, which they broke, Inner Mongolia should be Mongolian, and Taiwan isn't China either. Its Taiwanese. The CCP is just another imperial dynasty
If you raise a child in isolation teaching them that an lemon is green and a lime is yellow, when they grow up they will 1st argue this when others try to correct them, then they will hate them for lying, then they will eventually fight them to prove a lemon is green and a lime is yellow!!!

The work of the global bankers with their headquarters in Wall Street and the City of London. They funded every communist revolution in history and when you called them out they called you a conspiracy theorist. The Red Scares were justified and Joseph McCarthy was right as the declassified Verona Files prove. The West has been infiltrated by communists by their own bankers to bring about a Hunger Games style neo-feudal world with the haves and have nots.
@@SplitWasTaken by "the rise of irrationality under guise of progressivism" what do you mean exactly? Gay rights? Trans rights? Race theory? Secularism? Or do you think American socialists are all authoritarian regardless?

Thanks for all the great quality videos and I think you do your research so well that I prefer you to talk about The PRC then our news network!
I have been getting my wife to talk to elders and get their stories. Also recording the dialect. That's what we need, more personal histories. My father in-law remembers the Japanese and the Red Coats. He was denied an education because his family were traders.
There was an ad before this video, mid roll ads as well, so UA-cam is stealing from you.
Yep several adds before and during the video.

I started doing business in China in 1984. Then...China was "the pits". Everyone had Mao uniforms on. There were no private cars. Every thing was "dingy". In 10 years, China almost completely transformed. WHY any Chinese citizen would want to go back to that is beyond me. My partner had been shipped up to Manchuria, in the 1960's, so he could be "reformed". His father, who owned a business in 1949, had his factory stolen out from under him.
2 Views... 25 likes... 50 comments.... I think the UA-cam counter is broken. Continue to be awesome. You guys do great work.
You clearly don’t understand how views are counted.
@@fredbloggs5902 Must be the new math.
@@nursesida views only count after a significant percentage of the video has been seen. This prevents people gaming the system. Likes and comments show immediately.
The youtube counter works just fine, it's your understanding of the system that may be incorrect. Perhaps this information can help you understand how it works. When you click through onto a video, youtube starts your "watch time" on the video. If you immediately click the like button, it shows up in real time. It is an instant calculation in the algorithm. Comments work this way as well. You can scroll down and comment in real time while you are actively watching the video. So your comment shows up in real time. But youtube doesn't count your "view" on the video until you either finish the video or when you actively leave the video during run time. So if 100 people click on the video at the same exact time, the video won't have any views. But if 3 people clicked like immediately after the video loads, you will see their likes. And if 10 people commented during that time, their comments will show up. Only when you and the other 100 people *LEAVE* will the algorithm calculate your watch time (for backend analytics) and calculate the views. Only when the next person gets the video recommended will they see 100 views, 3 likes and 10 comments. It's constantly shifting in real time to run calculations on the back end. But now you can understand the equation.
I always like Winston's videos before watching them (his vids are that much of a good value and, you never know, I might have an internet or power shortage before finishing) then can't resist posting a comment before the end (yeah, I'm like that) then, after replying to 300 comments and thumb-uping 1017 more, I go to a UA-cam Channel video and just tell them I think they are not doing as much as they could in the form of the most insciduous trolling I can muster.
I watched an ad before this video. UA-cam better give you a cut of that revenue.
Update: I watched two more ads in the middle of the video.
Always funny when Winston justifies his diverse collection of China video
It's for research purpose xD

@@WoodysAR It's a Subreddit on Reddit. It's basically full of people doing nothing but constantly post news articles and comments praising the CCP for everything they do, regardless if it's true or not. If something glorifies the CCP in any way, it's shared there and gets worshiped as gospel.
And the moment you share or say anything that shows even a hint of truth you are immedialy banned forever for "spreading discourse and lies".

Have you done a video about all those iconic Bhuddist Temples and other tourist attractions that are actually reconstructed versions after the originals were destroyed during the “Cultural Revolution”?
My mama, baba, jaja and yieyie lived through the famine.
The famine was just the worst of it, it really lasted right until after Mao died, and for a few years after.
The children don't know the past because the parents and grandparents are so traumatised they won't talk about it.
Well brah, you’ve burned some bridges for sure! Brave you are. Hope you have an exit plan! Good luck to you both!
Noticed that the young people had the energy to overthrow the status quo. The young were weaponised and still are. Divide and conquer
I talked to two different CCP members separately when they were studying in the UK. You can't reason with them.
A whole different level of stuborn that flirts with fanaticism and sectarianism. I wonder how they can pass borders unchallenged. I guess immigration isn't for spies but just regular Joes and ennemies are just corporate profit opositionists. Spies are good for business?
You're the man! Speak the truth so more in the west can see what is happening.
^Agreed
Well presented Winston.
I traveled through China in 2008 but it was only when I left the country and came through the airport in Oz that I picked up some books on Chinese history and my mind was blown. Obviously, these books written by Chinese people (Wild Swans etc...) are banned in China.
Even the Chinese netizens are blasting them lmao. This is literally one of the “best” uni in China.
nope, we were taught about the dark side too
Danke!

They won't wake up until the ccp really screw up and say send there one child policy to war and waste a generation.
I’m a student from China and I’d like to say many of the things he points out in this video is actually written in our history and politics text books. For instance we are taught that the Famine is greatly correlated with the CCP’s temporal policy mistake, and we’re also aware of the importance of the aid that we received from the Western world as well as the nationalists. We Chinese people are not that brainwashed and blinded, instead we’re reflecting ourselves all the time. CCP is candid about its mistakes, and a lot of Chinese writers have done great self-reflecting literary work about the past like Mo Yan and Yu Hua. It’s the Westerners who may reflect themselves whether they are misguided by the deliberate negative comments from the media.

Winston, Don't feel bad about asking for support on other platforms like Patreon or Subscribestar etc. You have put in years and years of hard work deserve to paid in some way for it. You always do great work and your drone shots, filming b-roll and editing are skills that typically demand a salary under normal circumstances. It's unfortunate that youtube seems to be siding with the CCP more and more lately. I would just offer a small word of advice to be careful about how you advertise or ask for people to support you on other platforms. I don't know the TOS in and out but be wary of them trying to strike your channel for trying to filter subscribers to other sites. I love the work that you do and it would be a shame if youtube could take advantage of some little know rule to push you aside. But keep up the great work and continue to be proud of the content you produce. You are fighting the good fight.
@cross hatch2 Like I said i'm not an expert or anything but if you look into the TOS for youtube and do some diggin into it then you can find specific answers. But in general youtube doesn't allow you to run ads or promotional links to off site with other AdSense ads. They don't want you promoting traffic to other sites they don't approve of. I was just saying this advice in general to bring attention to it. I can't point to any specific instances where it has been a violation, but just hearing other creators say things like "I got a strike because I had link in my description they didn't like" or "i got an email warning me that I can't ask people to go to (blank) website". I don't think there is any problem telling people that you have a patreon in your video. But it might be a violation to literally ask people to go to your onlyfans and then provide a specific link. you know what I mean ? That's what I was trying to say is basically just be careful that you know what you are doing is allowed by their TOS. You don't want to give them an easy reason to be jerks to you. That silly difference in telling people you have a patreon (but not literally asking them to go to it). Those kind of weird scenarios.
Patreon can be tricky as the CCP could use it to file in complaints while injecting dirty money in his enterprises... a tricky place this is.
Whaat?! Are they taking credit for liberation of China from Japan!? Wow
Winston, why is it that YT has demonetised you guys videos? It’s not like YT is even allowed in China , what’s going on?
It's simple:
UA-cam gets paid by companies for putting ads for the company products in videos. And then share a small amount of that money with the video creator.
Those companies either already have a market in China, or they dream of one day being able to enter China and make lots of money.
Those companies also don't want their ads to show up on "Anti-China" videos like these, because it might hurt their (potential) money from China.
UA-cam therefore labels these kinds of videos that show the Chinese government in a negative light as "inappropriate and ineligible for ad revenue" to discourage making videos that is "Harmful to the revenue of companies and therefore UA-cam".
This happens not because the video is "bad" or "violent" or "repulsive", but because speaking the truth of the CCP might hurt UA-cam's revenue.
@@Clawthorne Exactly this for all those reading, SZA said so himself

My wife of 5 years is a chinese citizen, for now. We met online, I went to her in china and she has been in the U.S.A. for those 5 years. In the beginning I never talked about the ccp or things in china or of their history. She is educated and an engineer. I knew it could be a deal breaker so I waited until she was here. She didn't believe the things I told her. She started reading blogs and conversations of chinese Americans online though she NEVER talks to any chinese here. She was dumbfounded to learn that they all said the same things I told her. Then she discovered the many chinese Americans with you tube channels and became obsessed with watching them and quickly figuring out who was really ccp mouth pieces. It didn't take long for her to admit that I was right and she was very sad that chinese people are so seriously brainwashed. She LOVES Trump and can't figure out what the hell is wrong with democrats. LOL
Shes gone back to china 3 times to visit. Most of her friends and family, none of which I've EVER met even when I lived with her for a month, criticize her for her decision to leave china and believe it is her that is brainwashed. She never talks to them about her wonderful life here and how happy she is. You can't tell a chinese that you have something better than they do. They will just attack you. Of course she's a big city girl but she LOVES living in the country here and wants nothing to do with big city living again. I made a 2,000 square foot garden for her and when she told her family, they were sad and thought she had the life of a peasant.
It's the fault of the chinese that she sought love in the west. She hates that it common that chinese husbands and boyfriends have girlfriends and thought she could never find true love in china.
We'll be traveling by motor home soon and would love to meet up with you and your family along the way.
wow,, out of the frying pan and into the fire, eh,, 😰😰😰
too bad she became easily brainwashed again to love Trump
“Life of a peasant, laughing my ass off!!!”
The irony is the right-wing American exceptionalism is as misguided as the CCP. Let me be clear: US Democrats and Republicans are economically right wing. I don't care as much about about the social stuff, that's easy to do after the economics has been taken care of. Because economics comes first. Europe is also moving to the right economically in a lot of countries. The American Dream is dead in the US (the statistics is: social mobility). It's more alive in Europa than the US. Social Democratic policies is what has created that. Which is only slightly left of center. If trends continue than societal collapse is just a matter of time.
