    The following is what I borrowed from a Malaysian UA-camr’s comment:
    I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.
    When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.
    Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium.
    After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:
    1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free.
    2. Make opium legal in China.
    Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.
    In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
    In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone.
    Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles.
    Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from.
    In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.
    For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China.
    Everything China does is negatively reported.
    They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
    They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
    Minorities in China
    Show me any currency in the world which also prints the language of its ethinc minorities. Chinese bank notes show 5 languages of 5 minorities living in China, including Tibetan and Uyghur.
    They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. Muslims students get Halal food at the university cafeteria. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.
    When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:
    1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.
    2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.
    China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
    During the pandemic,
    When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.
    When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.
    When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
    Western Media always have reasons to bash China.
    Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good.
    Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.
    They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
    When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.
    The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.
    China’s achievements and success have been by hard work. Not by looting and plundering the world.
    I have deep respect and love for China for all the suffering and the hardship they endured, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.

      @deejannemeiurffnicht1791 2 роки тому +2

      yeh, but that is no longer true, and wasn't quite true then (China's propaganda is more blatant and see-through that Soviet Russia's). True, it is LESSER KNOWN about China and interference/warfare for it's own interests, but, partly this is due to their EMPEROR GOD making sure their ''truth' was known, and partly due to what was gleaned from the Khan dynasties in relation to OTHER means of domination without the waste and expense of blatant war.
      Whatever side of the ridiculous argument you take, none the less, you CANNOT debate with China! CANNOT!
      Whatever their modern take upon Emperor-godship says is ''true'', then IT IS TRUE! Even when you perosnally know it all to be fake. You'll get crushed. MAKE NO MISTAKE! It is BRUTAL!
      You thyink America is bad? Russia? YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET! But the rich elites will LOVE China. Things ''get done'' due to one party leadership continuity (I remember listening to a Scottish construction owner who works there all the time due to one party politics suiting him only too well because ''things get done''.. Money, bottom line! same old, same old), and like IDIOTS we'll get sucked up along with the bullshit this encompasses.
      Compared to China, the West is an angel!
      Democracy may be as yet infantile, BUT, at least we can CONEST our leaders, and sometimes even make chanages. try THAT in china!
      Also, Malaysia shows no contest to China, no threat. So China has no need to flex it's muscles with them.
      DIFFERENT STORY ELSEWHERE where they dominate subtly, by stealth buying everything up, especially Africa. And I guess taking advantage of the hate generated by the ''West's'' initial neglactful propietorial use of Africa up till, and including modern times.
      BUT, we CANNOT say THE WEST IS LIKE THAT! For THAT is not true
      Why?
      because the West is built of many people with many views, and many differeing motivations,. and we are patiently, still learning which ones work best for everyone. And we still need to detect and isolate harmful individuals who try to dominate everyone else, as this keeps us stuck in our primitive past.
      In effect, China, Russia, and North Korea, where NEVER communist, but re-inventions of Ancient Emperor God systems like Egypt, and more recently ROME. Whatever CEASAR says YOU DO! NO AGRUMENT!
      How do we know pervasive emperor god primitivism yet is?
      iran and iraq and Arab cultures call high leaders ''Shah'', germans Kaiser, Russias Tsar, and so on. ALL OF THESE ARE FORMS OF CEASAR, the word and name.
      not that this proves China is, as they have different lingual roots. BUT the mechanisms of Ceasardom, Emperor Godship are all there in their consecutive leaders and dynasties and all had their origin myths too.
      At end of the day what ONE MAN SAYS? GOES! END OF.
      It is a primitve and BRUTAL way to run a world system. As everyone works for it via FEAR! or desperation.
      noit that the West is innocent here. BUT, we have been making stridfes, slowly, clumsily, and sometimes mistakenly, into getting rid of this nasty highly evolve means of schoolyard bullying.
      China will ONLY benefit the mega rich, even more so than the so called ''West''. A West which consists of so many differeing entities, that it is not at all a ''West'' in the slightest.
      And what of the Uighar Muslims of china? The concentyration camps? JKust like Hitler denied his camps, so too are China. And JUSt like hitler, experiments, mainly in control, and mind stuff, are being employed upon thesde poor Uighar people.
      WHO IS HELPING THEM? Are Malaysian Muslims even caring?
      Or like Western leaders, burying their heads in the sand while business is good? Or really, is it FEAR to call the new bully out?

    • @yesyes1842

      Great write-up and good to educate people on. However, I think Chinese culture as well as Asian culture suffer from the same weakness. They are too apologetic and focus on explaining themselves too much as if to seek some form of validation in the world.
      I think the West believes showing strength and doing all these bad things to China is simply through the lens of competition and they are simply doing the best job possible to empower their country. The fact China only focusses internally and explain why they are not wrong means the west should continue to be on the offensive and explain why China is wrong. Because they are just doing their job the best way possible and their only interest is what is best for their country and that's it. This is why they were elected in the first place by their citizens. The west sees competition as the only way to decide who is more deserving in this world, because that is proof of who is better. So competition is a good thing and capitalism is also based on competition. Western culture prizes competition in business, athletic sports, politics, warfare, and like personalities that thrive in it. Competition validates who is the best and the best should get the most. That is it. I think from China's perspective they cannot grasp this culture from the west. They always feel trapped like the west truly think they are wrong and self reflect and try to explain.
      China needs to focus more directly at playing politics as oppose to blaming how politics is played. It is a sign of weakness when you explain too much because the west wants you to always keep your head down and maintain the debate about whether China is good or bad country. The only way to stay above judgement is to keep judging other countries, that is a western strategy.

Although there are some skirmishes along the way between those countries, but they're always learning and making something new in order to have a massive impact on their civilization and prosperity.

      There are much more land that historically would still be considered to be chinese territories, but with now modern legalized international border, china hasn't even mentioned that they want to take those over by force.

      History doesn't dictate but it certainly affects the way it will play out. Hong kong doesn't want to reunite, but the fact is that it was returned to China from the long colonization and ocupation of then United kingdom, which the cease was deemed a peaceful return by then.
      It is China's goal to complete itself and return to before what was lost when it was invaded and splitted. I can't say for sure that the means or ways are good but i certainly admire the cause.
      Taiwan is an issue on its own, evantually I don't think mainland need to intervene in a hard way, it is already presenting failings in social, economic and political areas, as you say there are people who don't want to return, but then at the same time there are people who are willing to, just as a story always has two sides.
      But an exemplary example no one ever mentions is Macau, which was another teorritory returned to China. why it doesn't present any problems? why no one puts it in the forfront for this so called cause for the rights and justice.
      There is no denying china is prospering, and these areas being mentioned are benefitted from it, so as long facts present that the mayority of people's lives are improving, I generally think it's better.

Five years later it's more clear nationalism was driven by the ccp. Probably he believed the ccp would be successful greatly increasing nationalism( and a hatred of freedom and democracy) in the Chinese people; he was merely being duplicitous. What he didn't say was more important- that it is freedoms of individuals and groups, not democracy, that is the greatest threat to the ccp. Especially freedom of speech and association. KM's unwavering avoidance of the freedom arguments against the ccp detracts greatly from the worth of his views.

    China is already the largest economy in the world in purchasing power, since 2015. It's about $6 trillion bigger than the U.S. The U.S. economy is only bigger if you count nominal GDP (which is a complete joke in how it's defined). There was almost $800 billion in trade between the two countries in 2021. The majority of the 21st century will be dominated by China. The industrial revolution that started in Britain 200 years ago and spread to America, western Europe, and later in Japan and other parts of Asia, that genie is out of the bottle and will be impossible to put back. China is industrialized, technologically advanced, and growing rapidly. If there's anyone who thinks they can stop it, just read them the story of King Canute and the Tide.

    I am an Australian so I come from a very rich western civilized new world nation . That is due to the fact that Australia sells a lot of natural resources to China and we educate a lot of Chinese students in our Universities.. I bought an Apple Computer (an American company) on line. The computer was shipped to me direct from China (where it was made).

They use it because over that last century it’s been the most stable currency in the world. If the US employed the strategy you mentioned then they wouldn’t of allowed the Euro, which was specifically designed to rival the dollar, to come into existence in the late 90s. If we are attacking currencies then I have to point out the Yuan is trash, no one trusts the CCP to not devalue it on a whim to use it for international trade.

Five years later it's more clear nationalism was driven by the ccp. Probably he believed the ccp would be successful greatly increasing nationalism( and a hatred of freedom and democracy) in the Chinese people; he was merely being duplicitous. What he didn't say was more important- that it is freedoms of individuals and groups, not democracy, that is the greatest threat to the ccp. Especially freedom of speech and association. KM's unwavering avoidance of the freedom arguments against the ccp detracts greatly from the worth of his views.

      Actually, the chinese gov't's position is he can go to china whenever he wants. He was always allowed to go back to contribute to what he can to make Tibet more prosperous. But he needs to understand that he needs to stop all separatist activities w/ supports from foreign gov'ts and other covert entities including so called "NGOs" (american, Europeans, Indians, etc) to undermine the Chinese govt and nation, of course. It is very generous deal that the US gov't would never give, if the roles were reversed. For example, if the former ruling heir of Hawaii wants to secede and have tried w/ foreign help (including covert military support). The US would have just killed him as a terrorist long time ago. And that person, like Bin Laden, won't even have a burial place.

      If you look the history you will know that when a rising power collides with the current one, it usually ends with one side dismember. British, Soviet union etc, America is transitioning the power peacefully but that is because they are unable to do it differently. If America invade China decades ago surely China will be domed, but you never know since both side have nukes. Also i'm pretty sure its America that starts wars all over the world in the name of so called democracy and human right, how many wars did China wage?
