18:05 The "350-400% of GDP" figure for Chinese debt also includes private and corporate debts, while the 140% figure for the US is only government debt. If you count total debt in the US, it's also pretty close to 400% of GDP.
You also have to take china's control of the company's into account. Many of the largest would not exist without china's direct support.
@@haden67832Yeah, as opposed to the US, China's government ownership of business means that business debts are government debts. Still, including individual debts is still a bit disingenuous.
@@uchytjes10don't forget the banks in china are also state owned, so basically chinese government own money to itself. What's the difference if the debt is high or low
Thats still not really comparable because China is still a developing country and the US is a developed one. The US dept is still in the normal range of a developed country but Chinas dept is very high for a developing one.
China don't have a private sector

Brief critique: the main reason for civil wars or “why Chinese kill each other” is because of the deep rooted notion that China should remain unified that stems from the Zhou Mandate of Heaven. That’s why whenever a dynasty collapses, it’s a massive extensive civil war where they all fight for control of the whole of China, rather than each fighting for their own sovereignty, like what happened to other civilizational collapses.
2. Shanghai wasn’t a massive city for most of history. The majority of history, China’s largest city was inland, called Xi’An, or there was also Chengdu, later Beijing.
3. China historically was not a poor country. From the Han Dynasty and ending at the age of industrialism, China (and India) held more than 2/3 of the global economy. China was only poor for abt 2 centuries.
4. China actually has a lot of freshwater. The main issue is China doesn’t have the means to extract it, as the majority of all of China’s massive reserves are in the Tibetan Glaciers.
The rest sounds abt right
No.4 is perhaps also why Tibet is important to mainland China
Prettu big deals whay you corcted
5. Tibet is not supposed to be part of China. Free Tibet!
@@besteirolnerd2615 why don’t you get the money to back up your talk
China and India combined were never more than half the world economy at absolute most. The Roman Empire at its peak was richer than either, probably both combined.
It honestly does feel at times that China is “speedrunning” everything
4:01 "The city has always been China's largest" not quite. During the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was the largest when its population grew over 400,000 in 1400. Then when the capital was moved to Beijing, Beijing grew thanks to reconstruction. In that period, Shanghai was nothing more than a fishing village and didn't become important until the 19th century. Beijing is more important as it is the historical, cultural, and political center of the nation.
nanjing was the madate of heaven tho
Yep. One of the characteristic that demonstrates how large and diverse China is, it's that it has 4 major capital cities throughout its history, and various large and proud capital cities of independent states. Shanghai was nothing of note until recent history, much less important than even neighbouring Suzhou.
True. And Mao was born and raised in the south, too.
Nah there was songjiang earlier that was a city
But you are right Shanghai was nothin before it only grew after the economical reform of deng

@@nox5555 you cant learn things from a unprofessional money hungry youtuber
The internet means so many people forget, including myself, that the physical structure of a land still matters just as much today as it did in the past. Very nice video, very interesting.
But China uses the inhabitable land to build the world's biggest solar parks, biggest wind farms and the most powerful hydro and charge the lowest electrical tariff in the industrialised world. So world's big manufacturers all want to go to China to make money!
Ukraine certainly understands this, as their location on the European Steppe has led so many imperial powers and power hungry mad men / women to choose them as an 'ideal' conquest to get the empire-building ball rolling (much like northern China and its plain).

I know it's already happening but it's crazy to imagine all these new buildings and infrastructure popping up and then being empty and unused within 3-4 generations because of population and economical collapse
China population is declining but not at the rate you guys exaggerate it to be. China population is expected to be just above a billion people so around 400 million people less then in 2022 by 2100 so it’ll still be considered the biggest population only second after india. Plus China population decline isn’t gonna matter since its economy is still rapidly growing and is expected to be the largest economy within 2030 and its military is expected to be the largest and strongest by 2050 surpassing the US economically and militarily to become the largest economy and strongest and largest military within 2050

Don't worry bro, they are pretty good student of the USA.

They can feed their people by KCF & Mc Trump & Sugar, offer them with local happiness education, except Elites' kids will go into Chinese Ivy universities only need a letter. After about 2 generations, when their people giggle all day long, Chinese media will let them to believe, they are the happiest people who is living in a democracy Paradise, they have enough vote tickets to change their lives if they don't like. They, are the TRUE hosts of this country! ! !
Then Chinese can start to laugh at India. 🤣🤣🤣
@@ax4623 your whole comment and statistic are just fucking ridiculous and flawed. Idk where tf u got that China economy has slowed down immensely whenever it’s projected to be the richest nation within 2030. And be for real right now, you have no logic what so ever. If you take the time to literally search up “richest nations within 2050” you will see China will be on every single one of them as China economy is projected to surpass the US within a decade or so. And if you look up “China population 2100” you’ll clearly see their population will remain above a billion or so making them still top 3 just above Nigeria but below india. Either way China population decline it’s population is still gonna be x3 the size of the US 400 million people within 2100 as its population decline isn’t gonna affect its economy as China is literally expected to overtake the US as the richest nation within a decade at most and the richest nation by far within 2050-2100 as its economy is still rapidly growing and will continue to grow rapidly in the future. And also you say the US military is too big to be compared whenever you don’t know that. China military has been extensively growing and rapidly rising as China military is rapidly building up especially after Taiwan. Not to mention their economy is projected to overtake the US, meaning more of their military spending is gonna go to its military as bigger economy/ number 1 economy by 2050-2100 means more military budget and spending. Also I don’t think you’re aware that China’s economy and military has been immensely and extensively growing and building up and rising ever since the 1990’s and it will continue to grow in the future

Awesome video! Can tell you did lots of work on research!
This channel is great. Most people focus to much on the power of ideology but it is the basics, like you cover, that really control things. Geography, demographics, food, water, energy and transportation.
everybody goes through recessions and crisis not once but over and over again throughout the decades,sometimes even great ones that last for years even a decade.......but let me ask u,have u ever seen a country once developed or built up go back to being third world again,has anyone ever seen that in the history of the 20th and 21st century??no matter how great the depression is....omfg......the amount of hilarity and zero comprehension or even instinctual understanding about economics in these channels and viewers.
short of a goddam world war iii or nuclear armageddon flatten china.....
now people may say China is not completely developed yet,but parts of it especially the southern parts of china and the richest provinces have a gdppc thats rapidly approaching that of countries like taiwan or south korea.
and if u think even for a moment china's massive population problems, and the dry regions and droughts in the northern china are a concern.....i have one word for u.... "India".. just think of that and u can sleep soundly at night just like i. like any problem or adversity or trials and tribulations or horrors the chinese in northern china might face......it is nothing compared to what the 1.4 billion in india is facing.....and they are still alive. india has like every conceivable problem china is facing and worse, and they are 8 times poorer and ten times less toilets than china and they still aint going anywhere.
and u dont see or hear thousands of idiotic western channels and media making predictions and forecasts about the collapse of india.
@@jont2576 If you can't spell properly, I operate under the assumption that you're mentally deficient and nothing you say is reliable.
Even so, I will still respond.
China is in a terrible spot. You could easily RUIN it, and an attempt at doing so would lead to one of three outcomes: they surrender, they use nukes, or they suffer until they revert to a more primitive society or a new government takes over.
China is cripplingly reliant on imports for fossil fuels as they burn through exponentially more energy than they produce domestically, and you can block off those imports as well as their exports by blocking a tiny strait. And China's people are often miserable and have low-work ethic as they generally aren't able to do something they're compatible with or enjoy- this is part of why big and oppressive governments don't last particularly long historically. In addition, China's ideology makes it a rather unappealing place to live in the eyes of most people today, so immigration isn't likely to offset the population decline. And old people are liabilities, so if you can't support them, you either have to do away with them and piss a lot of people off or you just suffer and wait. But, regardless, young people don't want to work in China anymore. And they have cripplingly debt
So unless something changes, China is going to end up a much smaller nation or a massive ghost town. But, given China's track record, something will probably change.
Also, other countries don't hate India on such a large scale and vice versa
@@jont2576You don't hear those predictions because unlike China, India can actually feed itself.
@@georgearrivals and probably thats about the only thing they can do.....

i would be more worried for india ,considering its still mainly agrarian.... 60 percent of its population is still engaged in agriculture compared to china's 25%,20% of it gdp comes from agriculture
@@jont2576 No. China doesn’t have the arable land, labor capital, or technological base needed to maintain self-sufficiency in agriculture.
I know this how? Chinas own National Bureau of Statistics tells me so. In the best of years, China imports 20% more than it produces. China lost 7-8% of its arable land last year, 9% of its potable water, and its harvest was down 30% year-over-year.
I’m worried about India for a myriad of reasons, but unlike China, keeping their population fed is not one of them.
One thing that stuck with me is just how necessary it is to have a presence in Shenzhen if you want to make a new electronic product. Back when I was following OnePlus phones, they discussed how they could do *super* rapid prototyping due to the amount of manufacturing in the city. You could send out a design in the morning, and have a prototype in your hands in the evening. I don't think there's anywhere else in the world that has that much manufacturing in one place like that.

Great video, very well made and explained; it's gonna be interesting, what the coming decades will bring, not only for china, but also the rest of the world...
Your breakdowns showcase a piercing understanding of human populations and nuance. Well done!
Strictly anecdotal, but at the retail end (in the US, at least), "cheap" Chinese made products have been going up in price. They may still be more economical than domestically-made goods, but they are no longer "cheap" in the sense of being ridiculously affordable. At some point, the axes of "cheap" and "low quality" will cross, and notwithstanding all the other issues described in this video, someone else will almost certainly attempt to usurp China's cheap labor powerhouse status. ='[.]'=
And because of this and the stupid zero COVID policy companies are looking to move away from Chinese factories long term
They have been made numerous attempts, India, Vietnam, Indonesia and so on. The issue is that China no longer produces low quality goods, in fact the Chinese manufacturer labour is extremely well skilled and its industrial capacities unprecedented, it takes decades to create just the foundations of an industry, never mind a well-skilled workforce. India often mentioned as "the next China" is still heavily rural and its doctors and engineers leave the country en-masse for UK, US and the EU. Nobody can rival China in the short term, they have nothing to worry about as long as their products are cheaper than American goods and bureaucratic red tape keeps being significantly thinner than the ones in NA/EU.
@@ComradeHellas Perhaps I could've made my comment clearer, in the context of the video. China's demographic issues will reduce its pool of skilled labor, diminishing the advantage you cite. And as a consumer of retail products, I would not describe Chinese made items as being of particularly high quality, which, along with rising sticker prices for their goods, makes them less attractive than they might be. I doubt I am alone in that I would gladly pay a premium for better-made products. ='[.]'=
@John Grigg We sometimes joke here that the only thing here that is not made in China are the Filipinos, at least not yet.
@John Grigg I don't Chinese but that probably explains my micro. 🤣
The Pearl River delta is actually a larger electronics manufacturing zone than Yangtze because of cities like Shenzhen or Guangzhou and proximity to Hong Kong. That was a blatant error: It's like saying Silicon Valley in the US is located in New York.
Also, Shanghai has not always been the largest city in China. It only gained prominence in the last 200 years because the British decided to trade there and the city kept growing. There are plenty of other capitals that had millions of people even in ancient times like Xi'an, Kaifeng, Nanjing, Luoyang, etc.
Like most UA-cam clickblaiters, he has zero idea of what he’s talking about.
South China is the manufacturing hub. North China has Zhenzhou. The middle Yangtze layer is the financial Center of China. He did 0 research about it and it shows.
Also how can he simply ignore Manchuria? The most vital region to China in terms of rice farming, natural resources and raw material.

Really cool to hear someone refer to China's economic changes as more corporatist (in the proper usage of the term). I usually hear people call it communist (which is crazy at this point) or "state-capitalist" (a more understandable mistake). The Chinese themselves don't really even admit it since they have to keep the communist larp going.
Also I really liked out that you point out Westerners have the luxury of criticizing China for China's methods, while directly benefitting from them, and either are ignorant, or turn a blind eye to, them. That's something that always annoyed me when people talk about China/Russia/etc.
You're going to cry about whatever ism it's been rising with ever since Mao won the revolution anyway.
Honestly I would love for the US to go back to having an economy that wasn't so reliant on the rest of the world
But then again back when it seemingly wasn't so reliant on the rest of the world it still was just in different ways

As a Taiwanese, would like to see a comparison video of S. Korea and Taiwan. With both being East Asian and experience similar economic growth during post WW2 era, would like to see how S. Korea and Taiwan developed so differently nowadays.
Japan is also similar. Main difference they both have representative governments that can change and adjust plans as well as civil society and press to help reduce corruption. Plus they are smaller with less central planning so they won’t overshoot on good ideas once they stop being good. I think those are some of the core reasons they escaped the middle income trap and I am not sure China will be able to. Single ruler dictatorship are also unstable in the long run which makes it hard to maintain growth long term. When they get old or die there tends to be lots of infighting, power struggles, corruption and chaos that wrecks the economy.
Well, the reason of why S.Korea is better, is they get rid of all their "Presidents", jail or hell. But Taiwan, you only had dictator, fraud or queen.
Taiwan has its own demographic problem though. The best way to solve it is ruralise.
Something interesting about Japan is that while being a democratic representative country it's culture isn't that democratic . They culture is really based on hierarchy and a lot of social problems they have is because of this , so it would be interesting in how a democracy with an ''authoritarian '' culture have developed after ww2

02:43 “It is usually prone to droughts and/or floods” That is something I didn’t expect to hear.
Droughts and floods go hand in hand too. Dry, cracked ground baked in the sun is absolutely terrible at absorbing water. It practically acts like rock and just lets water flow over it without absorbing shit, causing massive floods (good job yellow river). Without the water to rehydrate the ground, there is barely water left after a flood and it goes right back to drought as trees that respirate moisture into the air and lakes that evaporate water in the air to make more clouds also don’t get refilled because of the dry ground
The Chinese made some serious headway in engineering early on cause they had to figure out how to tame the rivers and make them more reliable.

I wouldn’t say Shanghai has always been the largest city. It’s gotten way more importance in the past 200 years when it used to be Nanjing, Kaifeng, Luoyang, and Xi’an being the largest (fun fact Xi’an used to be the largest city on the planet)

5:40 in ancient and mediaeval times China usually was extremely rich as a whole, being the source of most of the luxury resources such as silk.
It was the richest nation as a whole until the 15# century (by some estimates up until the 18# century, although I doubt that). China always had a massive GDP (although from 1840 up to 1950 it did not have even that) where it always lacked was and still is GDP per capita.

“There is enough grain but could not fill every belly,
Enough cloth but cannot cover every skin,
Enough coffers for governors but could not afford retired statesmen and their large clan households”
one key issue with this collapse of china stuff (ignoring all the inaccuracies in the video) is that there is no alternative to the CPC. the reason now is different to past chinese civilisation changes is because now the problems a new government would face are enormous, there are so many things that need to be managed that currently only the CPC can do.
the CPC is by far the largest government in the world, there is nothing coming from the northern River that could ever replace that
looking forward to it
It is rare to see an actual summary of modern China. Most materials would rather focus on ideology, human right integrity, or just flat out propaganda, kudos to you sir.
Then how about social credit system? Even Wikipedia knows it is a meme basically used to describe the unreal situation of everyone being scored, and h0ser quoted it as a real thing that really "score your behavior"? This is not even propaganda, but anti-human imagination
@@karlk7070 It's not a meme. Chinese Social Credit System is a real program started at the year 2020, running by multiple systems including bank, police, bureaucracy, social etc, all directed by the Chinese government. It can restrict you from buying a train ticket, to buying jewelry, to your kids not be able to get into schools, all at as easy as criticizing the government, which, has been done before. Like the people from Henan Province demanding their bank-stolen money from local government, only immediately got restricted the F out back in 2022.
@@InfestationPony Do You really think he meant that financial credit system? Or do you mean this is a China-special thing, as if financial credit isn't everywhere in the West? Don't pretend as if you don't know what social credit means on the Internet. Also, criticizing the government lowers your credit score? This is just a proof-less piece of propaganda not even Wikipedia would buy into.
The Social Credit System has generated a large amount of misreporting and misconceptions in English-language mass media due to translation errors, sensationalism, conflicting information and lack of comprehensive analysis.[4][19][20][21] Examples of these misconceptions include widespread misassumption that Chinese citizens are rewarded and punished based on a numerical score assigned by the system, that its decisions are taken by AI and that it constantly monitors Chinese citizens.[17][8][22][23][1][10]
@@InfestationPony Also the Henan incident was another unrelated problem of small individual banks facing bankruptcy, not even related to social credit system. You mean a bunch of farmers lack the social credit to take out their money? Hell, no one else in China are as loyal as those rural farmers who are so uneducated that they literally worship CCP rulers, hang their pictures in shrines as gods.
I am not against his 90% of view, but still, the rest of them are purely anti-Chinese imagination that some western rulers fabricated to ease the rage of their people. And people are just evil enough to try to believe in them, even creating their new versions during the process. Just like how so many Americans are ignorant enough to believe that nuking China would prolong their golden age as if no one would fear & betray them.
@@karlk7070 I already explained financial being only part of Chinese SCS, as in the bank part. Chinese SCS is one large project covering all areas, but all under the command of Chinese government.
For other financial credit systems, their government has way less say, and legally can not shut down one's living by what he criticized.
As for the proof, I already told you the Henan province banking incident, that was back in 2022 when China was still crazy on the whole Covid red/green QR code thing, a lot of the state's victims who dared to speak up, got their QR code turning red, which essentially denied almost everything they could do.
Also I didn't say these for you, since you obviously look like a CCP bot. I'm laying all these facts for the others to learn, and to laugh at your pathetic attempt. The world judges goodness on your deeds, not your words, and they gave a pretty clear judgement already.
lol westerners love talking about breaking up large powerful countries like China and Russia
🤣🤣
oh god that 'meow' totally caught me off guard lol
I'm really glad that you take every flaw in every system to task and that you don't let your progressive outlook force you to toe a line. You don't scrub clean the hands of any group you're predisposed to synpathize with and you dont conflate a nation's government with it's population. That's really important, specially with the tribalism that's popped up in every content creation space that farms social media for its audience. Audience capture is real and a lot of people are pandering to pay their rent.
Seeing the potential for a Chinese implosion is part of the reason why many Nations have been moving away from Chinese manufacturing. Political tensions, lack of legal rights (IE, the Government or local companies can screw you over without any means of recourse), declining competitiveness alongside this is the reason why many nations have been looking elsewhere for their imported goods. I could see in the future countries diversifying their trade to avoid putting their eggs in one basket. Let’s hope that if and when something catastrophic happens with China(War, implosion, etc) countries will be diversified enough to keep moving, as it stands right now, the US and likely a lot of other countries would face a severe to catastrophic economic downturn should trade with China suddenly stop.
USA would be the least affected.
@@williamh.gatesiii8183 US have far greater problem right now than china, high inflation, economic slowdown, recession, etc
There's always been tension between efficiency and resiliency... as the COVID supply chain shocks showed, it is possible to be too efficient. Hopefully we invest more in resilience (i.e. alternatives) before New China inevitably becomes old news.

This is a very good channel, good narrative skills
You're telling me the guy in charge of the money is named "Kaching?"
Most countries go from a mostly agrarian economy to a factory/production economy at one stage, including Japan, the U.S., UK, etc. But that factory stage never lasts, as the majority of the factories will always eventually move on to the next place with the cheapest cost of labor. Most countries use that factory stage to progress to a first world, post-manufacturing professional economy, so the factory loss is not fun, but not terrible, but not sure China, as a unwieldy dictatorship, is well prepared for that.
Worse, I don't think the world is ready for that.....who's ready to take over? say what you will about China gov, they are pragmatic and they managed to raise a well educated population who took over jobs and got things done. I don't see how India or others can take over this huge void should China transition from it
East Asia Nations have veery similar story
experienced economy miracle, economic stagnation, low population growth, aging population, anti social behaviors, toxic work culture, property bubble burst, stock bubble burst, homogeneous, strict social Hierarchy, vast unspoken social rules, etc
Something that jumps out is the reference to a weak navy. China didn't value a strong navy in most periods, but one of their big building projects is a big navy. It's not up to the U.S. in terms of tonnage, but it's as big in number of ships and getting bigger. They don't have to equal the U.S. navy if all they care about is the western Pacific, whereas the U.S. navy has to be global.
It should be noted that 90% of China's navy can't sail more than a 1,000 miles from its coast, making it impossible to be any effective threat beyond Vietnam, the Philippines, and Taiwan
@@premiersportingkc3443I mean that’s kinda of the point, their naval buildup is mostly for their interest in the South China Sea, meaning they don’t need a large deep water navy
the thing is China is mostly alone, US isn't. US has allies with vast navies like Japan, South Korea, India and Europe. China does have North Korea tho
@@premiersportingkc3443 ua-cam.com/video/YEfyW_AjE1U/v-deo.html These are the warships China has built in a decade
If the navy is anything like the j20 we have nothing to fear.
Good song in the back.
This is the best explanation about China without political stuff
24:09 true but only because they are marginally cheaper than the alternatives, that doesn't mean there aren't alternatives nor that people/countries would be unwilling to fork up the money, we have already seen this in the Ukraine war with Russian gas, a lot of countries are moving away from using it
Yeah if China collapsed we would see world which for few decades would be distrustful of producing abroad/outside the region of consumer/outside first world, which would be great. Globalisation is evil, temporary discomfort is no price for long term return to morality.

I've been fascinated with Chinese culture and history ever since they hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics. That opening ceremony remains the greatest Olympic ceremony ever produced, and it inspired me to pick up calligraphy. When Mandarin was on offer for a marking period in middle school, I gave it a go. The Last Emperor made me fall in love with the Forbidden City and Chinese architecture in general. And I even got to see the Terracotta Warriors in an exhibit when they were last in NYC in 2012. All politics aside, China is lucky to have a history so rich.

Fun facts:
There’s an online shopping holiday in China know as double eleven or “the bachelor’s day”.
The idea is, since you get no bitches anyway, why not spend the money on some craps for yourself? The bachelor’s day is arguably more popular than Christmas, that’s how wide spread the situation is.
I think it’s important to mention the Hukou system as well. Which is essentially a state mandated caste system that has massively limited the amount of social services like education provided to China’s rural population. A person with a rural Hukou also can’t move to an urban area to get better social services as they still keep the rural Hukou. IMO this is China’s biggest barrier to increasing development and perhaps also a source of widespread discontent from the population.
Although with the expense of urban life and falling economic prospects, it seems those urban hùkǒu might not be so valuable anymore.
10 years ago , it`s an problem.
now`s not, get a Hukou is easier.
😂 Completely different from what you think, the rural hukou has more advantages, they enjoy extra points in exams, and at the same time get land in the countryside. Peasants are reluctant to give up their rural hukou.
I mean if you grew up in a poor neighborhood, potentially facing gun violence/bad education, your future wasn't so bright either. Grouping people by proximity of where they were born in is important as you cannot expect a child spending 2 hours just to go to school.
gun violence? this is China we are talking about, not America. By the way, China has the biggest migrant population and young people are free to go to where they want to study and work@@jimkim2712

As a Chinese person living in Shanghai, I agree with some of the points you made, but there are also some that need to be corrected. Regarding energy, China is gradually transitioning to the new energy industry, reducing its dependence on oil. This includes large-scale nuclear power plants and a large number of new energy electric vehicles. China is unlikely to collapse in the next 20 years, at least, because it still has an absolute advantage in some industries as the world's factory. China's manufacturing industry is shifting towards high-profit electronics, the Internet, and chips, while low-end manufacturing, such as clothing and socks, will be transferred to countries like Pakistan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Our computers and mobile phones will be largely processed and produced in China.
Regarding the maritime warfare you mentioned, China has already begun to focus on the development of aircraft carriers and submarines in the relatively weak naval field. I don't think any country other than the United States would dare to confront China directly, as it would come at a huge cost. China is also developing high-end fighter jets, such as the J-20, which is second only to the United States' Lockheed Martin in the field of aerial combat.
As for the crises you mentioned, such as the aging population and food crisis, it is possible, as is the social structure. The majority of Chinese people find it difficult to purchase urban real estate due to its high cost, which could be a potential factor for social instability. However, with the birth of China's younger generation post-2000, most Chinese young people have received higher education and can work in high-end design and research positions, such as semiconductor chip design, the Internet, and mobile payments, etc. I personally believe that the so-called China crisis may not begin until after 2050.
