Great conclusion to an epic historical series. I would like to thank you for your research and hardwork that you put in to this series
You finally finished the series. You're one of four channels that made interested in History by giving a different take.
Along with History Matters (The epitome of "answering questions you didn't ask"), The Cold War (giving more interesting events during this period) and African Biographics (where an actual African tells the interesting lives of African leaders)
Casual Historian has been gaining traction within the community as well. Highly recommend.
I’ll add in ‘Histories with Hilbert’
Dr peach cobbler is cool
@@user-dz4eb5rb3g i’ve checked the videos of all the youtubers mentioned above, and I can only agree with you.
But u shoulnd't believe everything some random yotubers say because it's filled with misinformation, all those ppl u mentioned
19:21 Minor error--In addition to circling Mauritius, you also circled Réunion which is a French overseas territory. The circle you drew for the Seychelles is waaay to the southwest of the islands' actual location. If you imagine a straight line between Mauritius and Socotra, the Seychelles would be at almost exactly the half-way point on that line
what a journey. this is the most epic history series ive seen on youtube.
I'm gonna binge this series a good couple of times! Hope you're doing well!
Thank you so much for this series covering the history of China... and really most work you do. Great to see someone properly explain events of such global impact, yet always brushed over by mainstream media. Can't wait for the next!!
Quoting from Falun Gong and amnesty international makes your information reliable SURELY
Lol you want him to solely quote the CCP? I'm SURE that'll sound much more balanced. 🤡
Precisely, it's an incomplete story which tarnishes its reliability
@@cuber5003neither are reliable, Falun Gong is a cult on the level of Scientology and the CCP needs no explanation, neither should be trusted and further research must be done is all they mean
@@BrotherHao1 calling Amnesty Internationals report propaganda tells me everything about you
What a series. It is so rare to see the history of the time that we personally experienced. Thank you for your efforts!
There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the Taiwanese section of this video early on; The Liu Massacre occurred in 1987 in Taiwan during a period of political unrest when the country was under martial law. On December 15, 1987, four young Taiwanese democracy activists were shot dead by security forces in a police crackdown on an anti-government demonstration in Taipei. You seem to be confusing this event with the Dongyin incident, where Vietnamese refugees were shot dead by Taiwanese security forces, and by the time of that massacre, Taiwan had long since abandoned their nuclear program. They did so in 1983, after international reports had emerged that Taiwan was close to having nukes.
The fact that you reported Falun Gong propaganda as fact has me very wary about the veracity and neutrality of everything else you've said about China on your channel.
What do you mean?
@@Raptor810Blue The organ harvesting thing. There's very little evidence that it's happening on the massive and systematic scale that Falun Gong would like us to believe.

To the Sri Lanka point, the take over of the port had nothing to do with the loans. The Chinese had already signed a 99 year lease with the Sri Lankans before loan talks even started.
Wasn't the lease signed back in the late 2010s? Sri Lanka had been taking loans from china since the end of the war in 2009. The Rajapakse's , particularly Mahinda, even took chinese funding for their political campaign early on and willingly took chinese loans after the war.
they definitely started taking loans in the 2000s what are you talking about
Ah yes, didn't knew it was already 99 years passed since the 2000s/2010s. Must be the same counting system as the one in Hong Kong.
Nice work mate
Pretty solid, but it gave me pause when you shoehorned that bit about Wuhan Institute of Virology studying coronaviruses and followed it up with a similarly out of place mention of Falun Gong. With the exception of those subjects mentioned above, you gave a really good overview of the major events which shaped China over that period. Perhaps it leaned a bit heavily toward attributing outcomes to intent by those at the top of the party in places, but that's understandable given the CCP's lack of opacity.
So why include the aforementioned talking points? Such a measured approach seems out of character for the rabidly anti-CCP coverage typically associated with "reporting" bankrolled by Falun Gong. And yet, something compelled you to include at least 3 of their favorite talking points seemingly at random. If you're wondering, number 3 is the one about the social credit system. It has long been debunked as a story that originated in the same sort of sensationalist reporting practiced by outlets operated by Falun Gong. An omission like that seems out of place given the well researched nature of the rest of the video.
None of that is to accuse you of anything nefarious. I find it exceedingly unlikely that this whole channel is secretly a Falun Gong front or something. It's just not their style, but it seems evident something or someone associated with Falun Gong is influencing your content. And I find that concerning. Because everything put out by this channel thus far has been exceptionally well researched and entertaining. Neither are qualities I'd associate with media affiliated with Falun Gong. Should you fall under their sway, even under the sway of their media, indirectly, I fear the quality of your content will fall with you. It's hard enough finding reliable English language China content as it is. There is plenty of state-run, fervently pro-CCP content and plenty more zealously anti-CCP content to clash with it. I don't want media whose goal is to convince me about the CCP one way or the other. There's plenty already. All I want is a good-faith effort to inform me about China. You seem to make such an effort. That's unfortunately a rare find. It'd suck to lose it.
Jabzy isn't an fg member but he does rely on American media so current information are biased against China
If you've done enough research on China then you'd understand why people are Anti-CCP/China. The people of China ≠ CCP
My friend I don’t say this a lot but you genuinely sound like a CCP bot and I’m inclined to believe that you are, beep boop 💀

I've been following your channel for years. Your content is top-quality. Thank you so much for all the research and effort you put on your videos!
Hope to see a compilation of all of the china series
The video tells a lot of negative little things, even gossip. However, the economic, military and social changes are understated. If history is described by the same standards, then any major state is an evil regime.

I would love to see a series on the territorial plans of Napoleon, the Confederacy, or the greater land ambitions of countries like the UK, USA, or USSR.
I would also like to see a series called “What If The Loser Won?”, which talks about how the losers of US presidential elections could’ve won and changed history (elections from 1800-2012)
USSR would be interesting, or what the Russian federation wants right now. I know in Russia, although largely they call for the same goals, the specifics of expansionism is a bit different within these groups.
@pasindupereraSL with Russia what they want will change as time goes on. Also we won't know all the undercover machinations of Russia for a while

This the end of a series
Every time someone mispronounces it "nukyulurr" I both laugh and die a little inside.
I want to give you a big congratulations on finally completing this project.
As you said though this is getting more towards politics than history and a bit closer to my store of knowledge. Sometimes people want to make China look more powerful than it is, three issues come up a lot: organ harvesting, social credit system (avoided 👍), and debt-trap diplomacy, however there is not really any hard evidence for them. It's like the Chinese intended those loans to work but just underestimated the financial risks involved, i.e. bad project due diligence. They haven't really gained much of anything from the whole exercise.
Could you review Otto Braun, in your own words?
Interesting series but may I suggest that you watch the videos through before uploading? In the 3 parts I’ve watched now there’s been at least 2-3 points in each where you’ve repeated the same line, probably because you wanted to cut one of them but forgot about it. Just a little thing that can up the quality of the videos. :)
can you let me know where they are?

Fun fact about the Forest City in Malaysia: The megaproject were deemed failed due to the failure of the Chinese government to populated their people in that area, other than Xi Jinping's controlling the currency, and also the pandemic, and now its officially declared a ghost town since 2022
Love your work on Africa but I think you give a bit to much credit to Falun Gong here.
At their core they are much more than gymnastics. They seem to be a rather cultish spiritual movement with clear reactionary chinese nationalist politics. The leadership really seems to put their followers in harms way and has an irritating talent in using their victimhood. Not defending the CCP repression here but one should try to understand the bigger picture.
I've been talking to some Falun Gong activists and it felt a bit like talking to an inverted cultural revolution red guard. A very chinese brand of dogmatism.
Tbh looking back, I think that's a fair criticism. I probably went into researching them knowing they are being persecuted - so could well have subconsciously looked for sources that paint them more positively.
It's always pretty hard to let go of every bias. And although I'd say it's not necessarily against the ccp. I probably always have one in favour of persecuted groups. Like I think I'd probably have the same bias for groups like the yazidi for instance.
I try not to, but you know. People are people.
If you’ve ever been around Chinese people you’ll know those people are so addicted to their phones and apps like WeChat it’s not surprising they end up accepting the social credit system…
sup
Lol it was a mistake to think you wouldn't be biased.
even AIs are biased. what makes you think humans arent?
13:23 Really weird to frame the North Korean famine as something caused by Chinese inaction; when low food yields were largely the result of Pyongyang's own economic mismanagement, and China wasn't even the main source of foreign aid in the preceding years.
Weird he doesn't mention USA sanctions on North Korea which are the main cause of the lack of food and famine in country. Jaxby American bias makes me no longer fan
@@Ash-iy3xc If you truly think Americans caused the famine in North Korea, you’re genuinely delusional. I have friends who are hardliners for the CCP and active party members and they also agree North Korea brought this upon themselves.
The famine was caused by the Chinese refusing to keep propping up a completely dysfunctional regime that consistently jeopardises Chinese foreign policy interests. They thought that by stopping aid they could force the North Koreans to make changes to their political system. They simply didn’t and let their people starve. The only reason North Korea still exists in its current form is because Russia wants it to be this way. They have kept that regime afloat with military and economic support.
Seriously, not everything is America’s fault.
@tsaoh5572 yeah I'm sure US sanctions that don't allow DPRK to buy food, farming equipment, vehicles, seed, fertilizers, poultry, pork, fruits or vegetables had nothing to do with the famine. 🙄
Let's see how long US last of they can't ship in cheap food from around world.
@@Ash-iy3xc probably pretty dang long seeing as we're a food exporting nation. North Korea has the geography needed to be a food exporter as well, but it isn't, because the DPRK can't manage shit.
If only the USSR had people like those in China

30:40 "Some criticized his personality-based rule as being dangerous" - then they elected Xi and got ten times that
Congratulations on finishing the series, for 80% of the series , it was one of the better and more accurate portrayals of what actually went down. In term of your pro democracy slant you used to compare and contrast with mainland China's political discourse under the communists, a wots and all approach would lend much more credibility to your work. Maybe it could be your lack of command of Chinese, but 陈水扁's downfall was hardly surprising given the public backlash against his corruption and that of DPP namely by the red shirt movement and US led prosecutions against him. Japan and India are hardly model government with the LDP holding power since 1955 and led by people like Abe who no different than xi Jinping are scions of former politicians and in Abe's case war criminals. Modi as a former terrorist leader banned by the US and supporter of Hindus first is hardly a champion of human rights with jurisdictions like kashimir, Punjab having martial law and internet disconnected repeatedly during political protest. The communists despite their shortcomings has unified China into a force that it hasn't been for nearly 2 centuries and example against the democracy cool aid championed by many but has led to meaningless token elections and zombie governments where electioneering is the only form work undertaken by the elected officials. As a Shanghai native I find it detestable that you portray garbage like Liu xiaobo as a role model, this is a man who wanted "China to be colonised for 300 more years." And more than happy to ignore the facts like Shanghai as a colonial possession been the locale of the largest battle of WW2 before Stalingrad saw none of the colonial powers materially helped the defense of city or even their own citizens who they just relinquished to the mercy of the Japanese.
Jabzy most of your other China series was very well-balanced and well-written. Still, this one is starting to become a bit biased, especially when constantly mentions how the Falun Gong cult was always the victim and they did nothing wrong.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t fully like and support the CPC, but I also don’t like cults including Falun Gong. When has there ever been any good cult in our society or any society?
That's fair tbh.

Speaking of the Three Gorges Dams, the dam idea has always been an idea of Sun Yat Sen, the first president and founding father of modern China. Mao Zedong and the CCP were only just enforcing and carrying on this project and ideas.
It's really sad how close China was to democracy, considering that a decent number of people within the CCP were sympathetic to the protestors. The tianmen square massacre really ended all hopes of it for good but had the protestors been given another few years to make their case, who knows...

Really awesome video, it does a good job of painting the autocratic reality of the current goverment. A lack of humanity is obvious.
This period of China should include some positive sounding phrases solely based on the series of events when compared to the previous episodes, but it is disappointing to see that the narrative being biased. The impartiality of the video is a bit questionable. Great series hampers by stereotypical thinking.

If Taiwan became a democracy so China can be also Democracy.
Taiwan is far easier though because taiwans dictatorship was sustained entirely by refugees from the mainland whom eventually for the most part died. China's dictatorship is self perpetuating because the CCP raises new generations to replace it. Also, China enjoys lots of success under the ccp, whereas Taiwan under the kmt dictatorship didn't.

LOL have you never heard of synonyms?
I hate to say but this episode of the China series just isn't as well researched and produced as the others. It could perhaps be due to the recency of the events but the coverage of many topics seems rather one-sided. I won't criticize the "over-simplications" too harshly since it is attempting to cover 30+ years of history in 40 minutes but the figures and statistics used are heavily debatable. The telling of the "1989 Tianmensquare massacre" sounds like it could literally be copy pasted from a radio-free-Asia article and the diction used doesn't objectively represent what happened. Calling "operation yellowbird" an "internationally funded" movement is like saying the suppression of the Budapest uprising was an "internationally supported decision". Regardless of whatever well-intentioned young Chinese students embroiled in it (my parents did), operation yellowbird was another CIA-funded color revolution at best. I could argue more about whether PLA tanks actually "paraded through the square" like sadistic thugs but I don't want to sound like a tankie.
Just another thing that sounded immediately sounded wrong to me was the part that said the great firewall banned "most websites" and "even key words". There are about 1.3 billion websites on the internet and it's a very logically poor claim to say that the Chinese government banned most of them. Only a select handful of popular western social media sites and search engines are banned. The "keywords" bit is also a great oversimplification but I said I wouldn't go there.
The part about "string of pearls" became rather ridiculous and nearly gave me ptsd of other geopolitical video essay channels that just parrot the same superficial arguments about debt trap diplomacy masked by aesthetically appealing animations and graphics. China obviously does not participate in the same debt trap diplomacy done by the US as seen in "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" and I would greatly recommend people to do their own research about at least the Sri Lanka case. The author of this video obviously didn't need to bring up similar practices of other countries but in essence, whatever geopolitical investment swindling China does, the US has done it at a far greater scale.
Moreover, the tangent on poor schoolyard construction during the Szechuan earthquake of 2008 was rather infuriating. Having actually visited the memorial site of collapsed schoolyards in Szechuan, the government has done a massive effort in acknowledging corruption and incompetence while rebuilding proper modern apartments in the area affected. The poor quality of some Chinese infrastructure is definitely a major problem and led to many deaths during the earthquake but to use the tragedy as a transition into the delusional farmer cult of "falungong" just felt rather inappropriate when done upon the graves of 70,000 dead Chinese. To put it into perspective that is a little more than the entire population of palo alto California.
I know some of these notes were addressed partially later in the video but I still feel the sources Jabzy relied on during the making of this were not as reliable and sought to just tell the mainstream narrative.
Some other points to quickly dismiss as someone who actually lives in China are 🚨 : Winnie the Pooh is not banned contrary to popular belief (i saw him 2 years ago at shanghai disney), religion is not suppressed but rather just kept under loose surveillance as I have personally been to at least 3 operating Christian churches within a 10 km radius, the "internment camp figure" drawing used in 36:08 is actually taken from a photo of a drug rehab facility although this is certainly hard to prove, Uyghur genocide of any sort is ridiculous as ethnic minorities were actually relatively-exempted from the one-child policy and any form of "Islamophobia" in xinjiang can be dwarfed by the practices of other countries done in the name "counter-terrorism" by other nations namely India and the United States. The "social credit system" is one of the BIGGEST and FATTEST lies in the 21st century and I have never ever encountered the concept in my life except in western media. Lastly, the fact that I am typing this comment on youtube means that VPNs are not highly difficult to obtain and there is not an armored squadron of pla commandos ready to raid my house at any given moment. In conclusion, I hope that I haven't been too overt in my "50 cent shilling for the ccp" and that jazby sees this comment.
Disappointing. Your videos are becoming more and more based.
