...Mabye Canada? Quebec really wants independence, and that may snowball into a independent British Colombia, mabye a united Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, a US annexation of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and an extremely weakened Canada. Newfoundland and Labrador would probably be annexed into Quebec. Honestly I don't know what would happen to Yukon, Northwestern Territories, and Nunavut.
Most likely candidates imo: 1- Spain (Catalonia , Basque, Galicia unites with Portugal?) 2- UK (N Ireland unites with Ireland, Scotland) 3- Somalia (Somaliland) 4- Belgium (Waloonia?) 5- Post-war Russia (if it loses) 6- Post-war Yemen (if it loses)

As a Chinese I must say that Manchuria isn’t going to break anyway as Manchus population are too small compared to Han Chinese in northeast China, it would only break if Han Chinese region, or China proper itself collapse into smaller pieces. Anyway, nice video!
@@TylerSolvestri Yes, but the Qing ruling class pushed sinicization on their own people for stability, and so now most Manchu people are indistinguishable from Han Chinese. Without sinicization it's unlikely that the Qing would rule for over 250 years, just look at the Mongolian Yuan dynasty as an example. Historically, there was another Northern ethnic group that sinicized so much that they disappeared from history: the Xianbei, who ruled northern China for a few centuries. The ruling class of Xianbei systematically abandoned their original family names and adopted Chinese family names. The ruling families of the subsequent unified dynasties (Sui and Tang) all trace part of their ancestry to the Xianbei people, but they are considered Han Chinese nonetheless.
@@TylerSolvestri as a manchu, we do. Part of the tungustic language, there only 20 first language speakers left though mainly in heilongjiang. But many many more speak it as a second language. Since my family moved away. I can't speak fluently but most family's are still teaching simple phrases or at least mine are
China is encouraging han Chinese to move to these regions to ensure they indeed have a han majority everywhere. So a territorial split is unlikely. At best it will be more like Ireland and Northern Ireland, than full on soviet collapse. So at the end China wouldn't lose that much territory. And lastly, China has most of their military stationed in these regions... Guess why.
I'm pretty sure its the other way around. Chinese or Han people are leaving these remote regions and moving to coastal metropolitan areas. At the same time, Chinese government has rather strict laws to prevent lets say Tibetan or Uyghur population leaving their land.
@@GlaciaDay I would say it’s both. Preventing mongols from moving so China can act like they have the real Mongolia, and flooding Turkistan switch hans to wash out the Islam identity
I am a Chinese, in fact, if China may split, it is Tibet that is most likely to become independent rather than Xinjiang, and if China is divided, it is most likely to be divided into the southern region, the northern region, the Tibet region, and the southern and northern regions will fall into endless wars, and Tibet will fight with the winners after the north and the south have divided the victors. The Chinese masses attach more importance to civilization than to race, so no matter what ethnic group, we pay more attention to whether this nation is part of our culture in history than to any race. This belongs to different ideas produced by different histories, because China has long belonged to a unified state, and since the Qin Dynasty, the ancient countries in this region have believed that only those who occupy all the land here can be considered legal, so we have a strong attachment to unification, and any country in this land also tacitly has the right to conquer the entire land. So we don't understand why, after the dissolution of ancient Rome, every country that was divided was legal, and in our eyes, only by retrieving all the land that was once ancient Rome can it be considered a legitimate state. I don't speak English well, and I'm sorry, and you're welcome to say what we think that you can't understand

You talked about Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, a distinction dating back to the Qing dynasty. There was also inner and outer Tibet (you bet), Inner Tibet now part of 2 central provinces. In historical Tibet, there was no distinction at all.
The propaganda of the western media is a lot of false news, just like this video, everyone in Tibet supports the CCP, Dalai Lama was the dictator at that time, Tibet was a slave society, slave owners would peel people's skin and make them into paintings. The Western media always promote human rights and the Dalai Lama, but not the Tibetan slaves at that time. Then use these dictators as pawns to divide China.

I just now understood the joke in this channel's name. It's not like general knowledge but a general whose name is Knowledge, but then again the name can mean both. How smart haha Ps. Great video as always. Chinese history is so amazing, it's so wild to think that their civilisation still stands and thrives. It's basically the same as if the Sumerians still habited modern day Mesopotamia.
Idea for a future video: A guide to Pacific islands nations. There are so many, including many overseas territories from other countries, and it can get quite confusing.
If a country wants to keep a culturally different part of their country from breaking away, they should give that part a reason to stay not a reason to leave
The reason is simple. China is richer than any of its neighbors. I mean per capita The Vietnam guys born in China are 3 times richer than the Vietnam guys born in Vetname . One single Inner Mongolian city in China is richer than the whole Mongolian country. Even the Xinjiang Uygur people, who have been repeatedly rumored by Western medias, have higher per capita income than their cousins in Türkiye
Props to all the cool Chinese people in the comments just taking this like it's meant, a theoretical "what if" not an attack on china. I've seen 3639263 different videos on what if my country broke up, and you start to just enjoy the entertaining theorising after a while before you just go back to real life and enjoy your day.
@@gamermapper in the same way it's absolutely possible for the USA, Russia or Germany, Iran or Indonesia to break up sure. It's also absolutely possible that is doesn't happen. This was my original point, it's just a cool theorising what if video.
@@xanderreyno Even if it weren't a theoretical, "what if" video - it still wouldn't be an attack on China. It may be unsettling to certain views on what China should be, but that doesn't constitute an "attack" on China.
Historically, China is best thought of not as a nation state but as a civilisation, with many regional and political factions attempting to control all of it.
if cultural and ethnic differences are a reason for the break up of a nation, then India, having an amazing amount of religious and cultural variation in each region of the country would be prone to a break up too. And granted, thats exactly what happened with Pakistan and Bangladesh, but even after the two regions full of muslims was separated from India proper, India today still has a sizeable muslim majority, which could split the country even further by this logic. this is not even taking into account of the various sects of Hinduism, the Sikh population, the Jain population, the Buddhist Population, and the ways of life different regions lead (rajputs, people from punjab, people from bengal, and people from the south and centre of India all lead very different lives, and the major uniting factor is simply religion. however, when a religion is as seperated into different sects as Hinduism is, the result is similar to that off which has occured to the middle east.)
@@huaiwei as an Indian, I can say India is more political stable than china at this moment. 1990sto 2014 was actually unstable era. No doubt muzlms make prblm everywhere because it's in their book. If India was meant to be disintegration it might happen before. Of course everything has expiry date. I think the old India will die and a new will born. I mean from secular liberal to highly religious like Iran but India as a political system will run more years than china.
China did break up with the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. I have two maps I look at, one the Three Kingdoms of 400 CE that shows broad cultural lines today. The other is the PLA Theaters of Command, presuming things go as they did in 1912.
China, Russia and the late Yugoslavia and the Austro- Hungarian and Ottoman Empires have more in common than we can imagine. The question is : why some multi-ethnic multi -national entities break up and some don't? Why some have longer life than the other(s)? ( The Hanseatic League and the Poland - Lithuanian " Commonwealth also come to mind. There are others, though!) And to finalize this line of thought : why they all disintegrate at the end? ( Big Empires included).
No, except outer mongolia with help from Russia, even Mogolia's case did not settle dust before the end of WWII when Soviet became a big winner. In Tibet, there were represents from central government handle foreign affairs, though the 13th Dalai Lama evicted these officials from Beijing or Nanjing for several times, they never get full indenpendce. Tibet was a vassal state since Yuan dynasty to help them hold togather from internal conflict. Tibet experienced religious wars for almost two hundred years, and they need support from China to stablized their position against adversary in Tibet, in exchange they agree to be a vassal state (藩属) of China.
The bit missing from your opening is that it isn't simply a case of the PRC staking a claim over Taiwan - both the PRC (mainland China) and the ROC (Republic of China, aka Taiwan) officially maintain a claim of One China, with both claiming De Jure sovereignty over both mainland China and the island of Taiwan - at least officially under the ROC constitution.
I born in neighboring province of inner mongolia. Inner mongolia is a man-made province consists of several different areas. Many of my ancestors immigranted to socalled inner mongolia over 300 even thousand years ago. Actaully central inner mongolia was part of our province in the history. Central monglia share the same language and culture with us. It's hard for a possibility of spontaneous independence. The real area possible for a indepence will be southern xinjiang where han chinese is not the majority and the locals have a very distinct life style and religion.
There 3 facts we need to know: 1. The population of Tibet is around 3.5 millions. It is the poorest region of China, and receives hundreds of million dollars from the central government. 2. The population of Inner Mongolia is 24 millions, in which Han population accounts for 85% and ethnic Mongolian is only 3 million (12.5% only!). 3. Both Han and Uyghur people account for about 40% of Xinjiang population. Ethnic minorities (~20% of total) other than Uyghur probably do not support the independence, because they are still minorities if a nation of Uyghur is established.
Lol kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, Tajiks and other Muslim nations would be glad to become independent with Uyghurs which also the muslims who suffer from China, at least they'll breathe a free air, not the air of concentration camps and prisons.
I have my relatives who is immigrants from China. The independent journalistic analysis said that over 1,000,000 ethnic Muslim are in concentration camps or prisons.
@@dragonlung6304 I have the same question. How China could hide 1,000,000 people? Country have to have ability and resources to that, which China successfully have. Hiding the 1,000,000 people in 40,000,000 region is hard. But USSR hide 5,000,000 people in 160,000,000 country.
@@Iwidifbdnqqo If one million ethnic Muslim are in concentration camps, why Saudi Arabia (the richest Muslim country), Indonesia (the most populous Muslim country), Pakistan, Turkey,.... still maintain good relationship with China?
Perhaps something like a clever use of the federalisation concept could allow everyone to win. Beijing could retain overall control at the federal level, but allow say Xinjiang, Tibet and Mongolia to each have an additional local government to which some authority would be delegated, allowing regions that cause friction with Beijing to retain their distinctive characteristics. Trying to force large numbers of peoples in distant places to all conform to a prescribed culture is likely to result in wars eventually. You can force soneone to behave in a certain way for a time, but you can't change what they think deep inside, even with psychological conditioning (which is truly horrific). Neither can you change the commonality they have with others of like mind. Federalisation would all but eliminate unrest, without losing the territory. It could conceivably even form the basis of a treaty with Taiwan, establishing a connection with Beijing. No-one in the entire human race can really be forced to conform completely to something that is too far removed from their own culture. But that doesn't hinder alliances and federations. But that's all just speculation, as I am a Brit. I'm quite fond of the Chinese peoples and their original cultures though, and I would like to see more harmony and prosperity there; just without the coercion, force or brutality, as these don't serve the interests of any of the peoples.
When you talk without knowing, the constitution states that the autonomous provinces Inner mongolia, XinJiang, Tibet needs those natives minorities to be in the local goverment, same as autonomous prefecture which can have koreans, yi, etc.
That would require the current government or a future government make up to actually want to preserve the unqiueness of different parts of the vast nation. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case, even though it would HEAVILY benefit the country in the long term, likely the short term too.
The Problem with federalisation is that the central government can take the power back, while seperate countrys are much safer to hold up there power. A better Solution is an economic union with Independent countrys
The Chinese mentality is that the winner takes all, that has been the case for more than 2000 since the first Chinese Emperor. That's how China is run, centralized and totally controlled by the emperor or everybody is killing to found a new dynasty of his own when the old power is weakened . Federalization is a tradition long lost in China after Autumn and Spring Era around 500 BC. This is not going to happen all of a sudden.
PRC doesn't want to annex Taiwan. They say they already own it. Just to note, Taiwan also says it already owns China. If China "broke up" it would mostly immediately reform into China. Tibet might not join, but so many ethnically Chinese have been moved in that it might stay in China.
@@realtissaye As I already said that is an excuse used to try and make them seem bad when everything they've ever said and ever voted for has to be Taiwan a independent nation free of Chinese influence.
It's an interesting take, nobody ever remembers that Taiwan technically claims all of China itself. But I think in reality they just want to exist as they are and be left alone
@@General.Knowledge Exactly like I've been saying A majority of the people who bring up Taiwan claiming China tend to be doing it to say that it's OK for China to be claiming Taiwan it's disingenuous.
I like this hypothetical question and although it is indeed possible that China could break up (because anything is possible) I think it is highly unlikely as the conditions that made this possible in the past are much less significant if not non existent today. Over the years the Chinese government (CCP) did a very good job in creating a sense of national identity in the minds of the different ethnic groups as well as the different Han subsets by creating things like a common language and building out connective infrastructure that made it possible for people from different parts of China to interact more easily. Today hundreds of millions of Chinese people live in parts of the country that they did not historically live and all of these things have greatly diminished the strong sense of regionalism that contributed to previous breakups. Tibet and maybe Xinjiang could try to break away if China ever descended into chaos but they would most likely be reconquered again when stability returns to the country as it always does.

china definitely will break up after the fall of C C P because part of the reason china is so aggressive its it inability to manage the different regions and ethnicities so it need to bully & subvert other nations into access to resources (aka "the Great Fall of China")

In fact, strictly speaking, the cultural differences within China today are comparable to those in France at the time of the Revolution. Neither the Normans nor the Provençals or the Burgundians were culturally what they were, and they were neither willing enough to break away from Parisian rule nor able enough to do so. But speaking of federalism, I am more worried about the fascist tendencies of India, and to be honest in Asia Japan, China and India are similar to Britain, France and Germany in Europe in every way, the order of their rise, their cultural heritage and their political organisation.
@@anonymouslyopinionated656 Imperialists always imagine that they can deflect domestic conflicts through hate propaganda. China's population is about to enter a sharp decline zone from 2022, the first post-WWII baby boom is already retiring and our ability to export consumer goods will continue to decrease, which means your domestic inflation rate will continue. Think about your own wallet than asking hysterically if I am receiving funding from the Chinese Communist Party.
I highly doubt it would ever happen that way. Except for Xinjiang and Tibet. The main reason is that most of the minorities recognized today in China (PRoC) were identified (giving their recognition of minorities plus other perks) by the Communist Party, that is, if it weren't for the Communists I highly doubt a Republican China would ever recognize and give these minorities rights the same way the Communists gave them at the time. Plus Han Chinese isn't a monolithic ethnicity.
Agreed, it is unlikely right now. It is not popular enough in most of China to recognize oneself as anything other than Han Chinese. As long as everyone wants to be Han they aren't going to want to separate. Right now, I could only see the Canton region separating as it is the only region that has really held on to its language (I think probably thanks to Hong Kong). As long as the CCP is in charge, I don't see that cultural shift happening.
@@evancombs5159 what does it mean to say “see canton separating?” As a native Cantonese from the canton province in mainland china, i am supposed to say what is the real situation and our thoughts. Never do we want to be separated from our country cause language is not the only factor to unify people, ethnicity and the common-shared history play a more important role in forming our nationality-recognition. The only conflict is that we want to preserve our mother tongue-that is Cantonese. We wanna that people from other provinces can respect Cantonese which shouldn’t be banned from using while mandarin is the status quote standardized official language.
@@侯浩鹏 the Canton region is the Chinese region that is the most different from the rest of China. In a hypothetical situation where any region would want to separate Canton would be at the top of the list.
@@侯浩鹏 difference is the only historical indicator towards separatism. There is no purpose to what I am saying it is just a hypothetical analysis of the topic of the video.
I think India would be a much more interesting subject for this topic. India has thousands of tribes and about 72 main ethnicities. On top of that, only about 57% spoke Hindi proficiently in 2011. Much more interesting than a mono-ethnic state like china.
Since it's a multinational state where no majority dominates over the rest, it also makes separatism less likely because no one is that much oppressed cuz everyone is a minority
I see that quite a lot of work has gone into this video but unfortunately it has not touched upon the more realistic scenarios for a breakup of China. The scenario in which China can possibly breakup would be one in which the Han majority becomes divided against itself for various reasons. E.g. politics, regional pride, finances, culture. Having border regions breakaway would merely be an inadvertent consequence of the situation.
no chance. in china's entire multi thousands year old history, it has never broke apart because of some "Han majority becomes divided against itself for various reasons". literally has never happened. it was always a collapse of governance or external invasion. that's literally it.
@@eugeneng2721 indeed and I would say, short of some apocalyptic natural disaster(ie a comet hits the earth and darkens the sky for 100 years). Failure of governance is the only possible way china fractures, since it's mainland is essentially safe from external invasion, what with the biggest modern army and nukes.
@@AL-lh2ht okay, then name a single instance where a united chinese dynasty collapses where the reason is not directly internal governance failures usually coupled with natural disasters, or external invasion. we can start with the qin, -extremely harsh laws -internal scheme that saw a extremely weak emperor put on the threat by a corrupt eunuch. Han, emperor ling was a terrible emperor that only cared for women and wine, and for some reason was really greedy for money(despite being emporer) leaving power to eunuchs, leading directly to the han's collapse jin, internal war cause by the empress whose son, the emperor who had a learning disability. sui, terrible second emperor who wasted a million+ lives on failed military campaigns and massive internal works followed by him fleeing then parting the rest of his days away while his empire fell. tang, internal rebellion by a general lead to weakening of imperial power to regional warlords who then usurped power and descended to civil war song, losing wars to liao, jin, then finally mongols, external threat was coupled with a government system that favored an extremely weak military giving its general basically no independence of action yuan, power instability with many quick successions of emperors, the later ones going on massive spending sprees on bribes, parties and women, using a years worth of taxes in like a month in addition to the then climate change causing crop failures and floods every single year that the corrupt and incompetent emperors could not deal with leading to massive peasant rebellions Ming, 4th to last emperor didnt go to court for the last 20 years of his rule, 3rd to last emperor was only on the throne for like a year, second to last emporer didn't go to court for his entire 10 year rule. by th etime the last emperor ascended the empire was already falling all around qing, the westerners showed up and got the empire addicted to drugs at the point of a gun, and do many other things at the point of a gun. so tell me, which one of these was not external invasion or governance failures? literally none was because of some irreconcilable differences between han groups internally that caused civil wars it was almost the entire nation conquered by external forces, or the citizens pushed to extreme and the peasantry across the nation rose up.
Though I do agree with your reasoning for why places like Tibet and Xinjiang would wanting to secede if given the chance. I think that your Mongolian and Han Chinese arguments are flawed. I say that your Mongol argument is flawed, is because the Mongolians themselves are or at least were a collection of different people groups grouped together based on Language and Culture. Though that might sounds irrelevant and/or contradictory, if you were to look into the past the people we consider “Mongols” now were once a collection of different nomadic tribes who formed coalitions with other nomadic tribes to defeat and control other nomadic tribes from different coalitions, which also helped with cultural exchange. Though that was before Genghis’s time and even during Genghis’s time there still was a lot variety is “Mongol” culture and loyalties. Though, Genghis did issue a written form of Mongol language to be made. But then again if things really do get bad enough in China I do think that it is a possibility, though the majority of Mongol people are in the the Chinese province of “Inner Mongolia” and their homeland is the steppes. While each Sub-group of course has their own “Homeland”. But maybe Nationalism could spike. Then there is the argument for the Secession on Han Chinese people from Han Chinese Mainland China, claiming that because they were ruled by many different kingdoms and Dynasties from time to time. It then correlates to them having a reason to break away. The reason this is flawed because if you were to look at it with the assumption that these kingdoms and dynasties were fighting under the same circumstances of Western European kingdoms then it would seem like a reasonable conclusion. But, since this is China we’re talking about, and not Western European kingdoms, we should at least expect there to be some differences. But also similarities and there surely were. You see, whenever China would engage in another Civil war it would be local Warlords fighting each other, but what people forget is that they’re Officials, and for the most part usually belonged to a powerful families or “Clan” and these officials served under the Emperor, who was by the time of a civil war were either under the threat of having their power usurped by them by outright rebellious officials, used as leverage by a warlord to gain an advantage over other warlords, and/or being protected by loyalist, who may just try to usurp power later. So the people under the control of these warlords would’ve only seen them as officials who like them served under the same leader. But if that the party fighting over control of Han Chinese land wasn’t an Official, but instead a Foreign one then nobody would’ve had any loyalties to them because they’re foreign leaders with a different culture. The Yuan dynasty ruled by foreign Mongol people was kicked out of Chinese land. The Qing Dynasty was deposed and replaced by a Republic. Both of which certainly aren’t respected by Han Chinese people. Not sure about the Jin dynasty but it probably would’ve gotten the same treatment. There is then difference in Cuisine, Game boards, language and etc. Which doesn’t really make much sense, since here in America we have that too but we don’t have Americans sayings Acadian, Deep South, New England, (State)BBQ, (state dish), and etc dishes are better and we should secede because of it. Same with those other subjects. We still see each other as Americans. Just a variation in Culture caused by regional differences and isolation since you can’t expect people with a mode of transportation to start standardizing Culture down to the smallest touch only for new changes to occur caused by the regional isolation especially varies quite a bit in geography allowing for cultural isolation to take place. But than again maybe I’m wrong. But in my opinion only Nationalism would allow people to get upset over variations. Though I certainly am probably wrong about some of these things to an extent. Since I am an American and you can’t expect a foreigner to know so much about a foreign country’s customs, history and etc. Though I believe I got my information from a credible source that covers Chinese and Eastern History being the UA-cam Channel “Cool History Bros”. I just hope my evaluation wasn’t terrible.
Sure there is a lot of variety in the mongol peoples but they all ultimately identify as mongolian not han chinese, think genghis khan is the greatest person to ever live and share more in common with each other in terms of culture, lifestyle and language than the dominant han majority. It's just too different which is why historically integrating the mongols in inner mongolia has proved very difficult where even subtle changes like forbidding classes in mongolian from being taught in school was seen as an attack on their identity. However, I do feel like if China was to collapse inner mongolia might not reunify with mongolia due to the han majority in the region that happened over centuries of settlement and colonisation sort of like the situation in northern ireland.
@@googane7755 not really they are mongol chinese. Mongols today are half central asian . chinese mongol are half chinese and mongols. Even if they unite there is gonna be problems. They are not the same people. Most Mongols see themselves as chinese and mongols. Kind of like Manchus now

One mistake, Xinjiang was part of China since Han Dynasty (2000 years ago), the name was Xiyu, which means western region. One of the most famous Chinese poets Li Bai from Tang Dynasty (618 AD) was born in there. The name Xinjiang is given by Qianlong Emperor, who took Xinjiang back from Imperial Russia, meaning "Old territory, New reunification".
Sorry to burst your bubble. Yes, Xinjiang was named Xiyu by the Hans, it was a protectorate. (都護府）not州; the official word for central government rules districts. It had been in and out of central dynasties control many times. Using your logic, China was once ruled by Mongols, should it be united under Mongolia? I'm not sure why you would bring Li Bai into this. What is the relevance of a poet's birthplace has to do with the question regarding Xinjiang's political situation?
@@Kalicious79 Regarding the Li Bai part, it actually has a lot to do, especially in cultural terms. The idea of a nation or a country is essentially a cultural fiction (an imagined community), so a sense of nationhood or country is very much fostered by cultural objects such as poets and poems (ig. William Shakespeare, Alexander Pushkin, Dante, Whitman). Li Bai is one of the greatest poets in Chinese history, so he and his work are kinda regarded as one of critical components of Chinese culture and national identity (imagine an English person who don't know who William Shakespeare is). As such, the fact that Li Bai is born in Xinjiang (or rather, present day Kyrgystan), cements the position of Xinjiang firmly within a Chinese cultural and civilizational history/tradition, within the imagined community of the Empire.
@@Kalicious79 China was ruled by Mongols, and today's China still respect and recognize Mongols as important members of the big family. If you learnt about Chinese history, you should know why the outer Mongolia got independence but the inner Mongolia did not. Mongols were different tribes and the rulers of the tribes in inner Mongolia thought stay in China is better.

The more I learn about Chinese history of its inner fights and divisions I would say it is quite possible for them to break apart again. Even in our relatively small island of UK it is beginning to break into its constituent historical countries. That is the way of peoples and history.
if you learned anything at all of chinese history, you'd know that it broke apart a whole bunch of times, only to could back together again. this is because of the ideology in place since the qin unified china, specifically that there can only be one legitimate ruler, until you conquer all of china you are not a legitimate emperor and have not yet been given the right to rule by the heavens. as such, all the times china broke, each of those pieces will always war until one wins out, hence china always comes back together.
The propaganda of the western media is a lot of false news, just like this video, everyone in Tibet supports the CCP, Dalai Lama was the dictator at that time, Tibet was a slave society, slave owners would peel people's skin and make them into paintings. The Western media always promote human rights and the Dalai Lama, but not the Tibetan slaves at that time. Then use these dictators as pawns to divide China. Taiwan's government-in-exile is also a pawn of the United States.

Correction: Turkic and Turkish aren't the same. Turkic is a much broader term that encompasses several more peoples. Bulgarians have Turkic roots, but I don't think they'd ever call themselves Turkish. Edit: Cossacks are not Turkic. My bad.
@@aliartk9155 , I had heard the word "Cossack" come from a Turkic word, and I knew they came from central Asia, so I assumed they were Turkic, perhaps wrongly.
Indeed I don't really think that Han Chinese territory, including most of Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, would break by culture. For several thousand years, with great differences, those parts remain to claim themselves as a part of China. If separation really happens, it would rather become warlords from different Han culture branches fighting each other for who is rightful China instead
And notice before the video, that China is definitely a nation-state, Han has more than 90% of the total population, is it possible for the so-called "autonomous" to be separate? this is worth thinking about.
People also have a hard time understanding that Inner Mongolians and Qinghai Tibetans fought on the side of the PRC against the Soviet-backed Mongolians and US/British-backed Central Tibetans to join China. It's no accident where the borders of today are drawn. It's a very weird narrative in how the story is told when as some kind of Han colonization when it was in big part Mongolians fighting Mongolians and Tibetans fighting Tibetans to decide their fate. For political purposes, there's this idea that the Mongols and Tibetans are this independent and culturally unified group before the PRC was formed. They were actually from different branches, tribes, and culturally distinct and as a result, had very different political wills If an independent Tibet had won or if Mongolia claimed all of Inner Mongolia, it would've been the Central Tibetans dominating the Kham and Amdo (Qinghai) from Lhasa. Or the Khalkha (Outer Mongolians) defeating the Chahar (Inner Mongolians) and their Han allies. The shape of China today *is* political determinism
In fact, if you want to imagine a country splitting, you must first learn history. Manchu independence is the most impractical and completely illusory. After the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu people were basically all sinicized. Now Manchu is a dead language. In other words, the Manchu people should be regarded as the Han people in culture, which is the most unlikely division. Secondly, Mongolia was gradually weakened after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was subordinate to the Manchu in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, Mongolia's independence was supported by the Soviet Union. Without the support of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia would not be able to achieve independence at all. Therefore, there is no saying that Inner Mongolia returns to Outer Mongolia. It should be that Outer Mongolia returns to Inner Mongolia. After all, the blood of the orthodox successor of the Mongolian Empire is in Inner Mongolia. Then there is Tibet. The possibility of independence in this region is very small. Buddhism has spread in most parts of China. At the same time, the current Buddhist leaders in Tibet are authorized by the central government. This tradition has continued since the Qing Dynasty. If he wants to become independent now, he must think about whether his religious status will be challenged. Finally, Xinjiang, the mainstream religion in Xinjiang, believes in Islam. This region is most likely to be independent, but to be independent, it must have the support of a strong Islamic country. At the same time, Xinjiang must give up its future economic development prospects. If you make a conclusion, you should first realize that China is most likely to fall into civil war rather than division. Even during the period of the Republic of China, all warlords recognized the integrity of China, and all places wanted to seize the rule of the country rather than allow themselves to become independent.Therefore, you will understand that it is unrealistic to speculate that a certain region will become independent from a narrow western perspective. On the contrary, it is more reasonable to imagine a civil war. To sum up, all this is based on the premise that the existing central government is weak, which will be difficult to happen in the next 50 years. If I can make a more reliable assumption, I think Russia will encounter big trouble after Putin's death. Outer Mongolia is weak, and it is more likely to return to China in the future. If Russia fails to elect a strong leader after Putin's death, China will have the opportunity to occupy the territory of eastern Russia. At the same time, there will be no super power in Central Asia in the next 50 years at least. Therefore, it is not impossible for China to expand its influence in the Islamic world.
Tibet splitting isn't about Tibetan people. It's all about how weak China military is. If China military become weak enough Tibet will be splitted for sure without any consent of Tibetan people.
China has certainly experienced multiple episodes of central government collapses and the rise of warlordism throughout its history, and so it's easy to speculate similar events for the country's future, but on a realistic level I don't see that in the cards. The sheer might of the Chinese police state, military, and historical mass migration of Han people into those areas make any meaningful independence movements pretty unlikely to say the least. That is, apart from some extraordinary setback for the Chinese government. Don't get me wrong, I understand the context of the video, that it's purely speculative and it's interesting to imagine what the country would look like if similar events from its past were reenacted today.
If China starts a Taiwan war and if US and EU helps Taiwan than that might trigger those country's to ask India for military access so they could attack inland China from the west while getting the fleet and planes attack from the east. If it will look like China will loose this hypothetical war some of these groups of people might see it as their change to 'get out' of the regime. It might sparkle rebels and separate. That's a lot of speculation and if's I understand, but it's interesting to keep in the back of your mind.
After the disintegration of many dynasties, the Chinese summed up the harbinger of the demise of the dynasty. Every time the dynasty is about to collapse, the following happens. (1) a very small number of people own a lot of wealth and land; (2) the rich who own a lot of wealth only have to pay very little tax to the government. (3) in order to maintain the normal operation of the government, a large number of taxes are borne by civilians with only a small amount of wealth. (4) military expenditure accounts for most of the government budget. Judging from these circumstances, there is still a long way to go for China to disintegrate.🤭
Mongolia annexing Inner Mongolia?? Yeah sure, country whose military is not even in the top 50 (🇲🇳) competes with the 3rd strongest military (🇨🇳) lol🤣😂
You can't just use autonomous provinces as newly independent countries. There are also autonomous prefectures in other provinces. Knowing that Tibet would also encompass almost all of Qinghai province and a large part of Sichuan province.
At least China should make Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia as Special Administrative Areas like Hong Kong and Macau. And let them run their governments by their own under “one country, two systems” policy, including having separate teams and representatives in Olympic Games, WTO, etc
That doesn't really make sense from their perspective. If you have regions with separatist leanings, more autonomy can make separatism more likely..look at Scotland lol
@@dunnowy123 The UK is actually interesting because it acknowledges that it is comprised of historically separate countries, it's right there in the name of the country. I think it's a credit that we can even float the possibility of Scottish independence without having to put anyone in concentration camps to instruct them with the correct political leanings. It's why we're able to discuss the issue frankly and openly, because no one is coming for you in the night because of your opinion on the matter, one way or the other. This is the shame of totalitarianism. In a parallel universe, there is a Xinjiang that is quite content to be associated with the idea of a 'Greater China', because it's one that isn't actively stomping their face into the dirt with a jack boot.

If a nuclear superpower with technological advantages like China splits, It is a nightmare for the whole of Asia. Every small country that splits from it will strive to strengthen its own strength and strive to expand outward to obtain a competitive advantage. Each country has a population of more than 100 million, nuclear weapons, and modern armies. As a result, many countries in Asia will be annexed. Historically, China always return to reunification after each split, and every time it's stronger than ever.
No, I don't think that divided Chinese nations can threaten the region since all five independent countries in east Asia, Japan, SK, NK, Taiwan, and Mongolia, have enough strengths or diplomatic alliances to protect themselves even against the unified China.
Xinjiang and Tibet deserve to be independent again considering the crap they've been through and Mongolia would benefit from annexing inner Mongolia since more mongolians live there than in Mongolia itself
You fail to explain why (and how) China is held for now - by unified market and centralized planning that are efficient and beneficial to the establishment. Therefore, the ethnolinguistic presumption of a possible breakup is unrealistic. A more possible scenario is if regional centers like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, along with factions and cliques formed around these centers, started vying for control over the whole country.
They would also have Shenzhen and all the supply chains to continue producing the world's products, so yes. Heck, if the breakup happens and Chinese reunification is proposed, Guandong would spearhead it.
@@LouisSubearth thats not how that works. the region relies a whole lot on the rest of china for supplies. this is the same situation as california, sure it has a formidable economy, but its heavily reliant on and integrated to the rest of the country. should be obvious, i mean its is a state inside the same country.
General Knowledge, you should do one for Russia, considering they conquered overtime a vast amount of land inhabited by so many various different ethnic races FYI, there are over 50 ethnic groups in China, Zhuang is larger than the rest except the Han. The most distinctive groups are Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, Uyghur, Miao, Yi, Tujia, Tibet, and Mongol.
Don't think of China in terms of those small European countries. Even if China disintegrated, the eighteen provinces of Han Land would not declare independence, but wait for a new political party to lead everything and reunite. This has always been the case in China's history, and each time it has been reunified, its territory has increased.
I am a Chinese, I can tell you that your idea is correct, our core area will be more identified with a spiritually unified ethnic group than the Han, Miao, Tibetan and other different ethnic groups, this situation will gradually weaken from east to west, but almost all countries in our history will deliberately publicize, I have a Miao friend, it now lives in the core area, the only time he remembered that he is a Miao in our country is a big exam, ethnic minorities can get preferential treatment in scores

As a Chinese I must say that Manchuria isn’t going to break anyway as Manchus population are too small compared to Han Chinese in northeast China, it would only break if Han Chinese region, or China proper itself collapse into smaller pieces.
Anyway, nice video!
Doesn't Manchuria has a native language?, I heard it was going to disappear in a few decades.
@@TylerSolvestri It most likely will disappear because theres nearly no point in speaking it when nearly all of your neighbours speak mandarin
@@TylerSolvestri Yes, but the Qing ruling class pushed sinicization on their own people for stability, and so now most Manchu people are indistinguishable from Han Chinese. Without sinicization it's unlikely that the Qing would rule for over 250 years, just look at the Mongolian Yuan dynasty as an example.
Historically, there was another Northern ethnic group that sinicized so much that they disappeared from history: the Xianbei, who ruled northern China for a few centuries. The ruling class of Xianbei systematically abandoned their original family names and adopted Chinese family names. The ruling families of the subsequent unified dynasties (Sui and Tang) all trace part of their ancestry to the Xianbei people, but they are considered Han Chinese nonetheless.
@@TylerSolvestri as a manchu, we do. Part of the tungustic language, there only 20 first language speakers left though mainly in heilongjiang. But many many more speak it as a second language. Since my family moved away. I can't speak fluently but most family's are still teaching simple phrases or at least mine are

China is encouraging han Chinese to move to these regions to ensure they indeed have a han majority everywhere. So a territorial split is unlikely. At best it will be more like Ireland and Northern Ireland, than full on soviet collapse. So at the end China wouldn't lose that much territory.
And lastly, China has most of their military stationed in these regions...
Guess why.
I'm pretty sure its the other way around. Chinese or Han people are leaving these remote regions and moving to coastal metropolitan areas. At the same time, Chinese government has rather strict laws to prevent lets say Tibetan or Uyghur population leaving their land.
Just what the US did, they encouraged whites to populate Texas, California, south east, Oregon, etc
@@GlaciaDay No, the government encourages Han Chinese people to move to those regions indeed.
@@GlaciaDay I would say it’s both. Preventing mongols from moving so China can act like they have the real Mongolia, and flooding Turkistan switch hans to wash out the Islam identity

I am a Chinese, in fact, if China may split, it is Tibet that is most likely to become independent rather than Xinjiang, and if China is divided, it is most likely to be divided into the southern region, the northern region, the Tibet region, and the southern and northern regions will fall into endless wars, and Tibet will fight with the winners after the north and the south have divided the victors. The Chinese masses attach more importance to civilization than to race, so no matter what ethnic group, we pay more attention to whether this nation is part of our culture in history than to any race.
This belongs to different ideas produced by different histories, because China has long belonged to a unified state, and since the Qin Dynasty, the ancient countries in this region have believed that only those who occupy all the land here can be considered legal, so we have a strong attachment to unification, and any country in this land also tacitly has the right to conquer the entire land. So we don't understand why, after the dissolution of ancient Rome, every country that was divided was legal, and in our eyes, only by retrieving all the land that was once ancient Rome can it be considered a legitimate state.

YOO THIS WAS LITERALLY THE VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR A MONTH AGO
Historically, China is best thought of not as a nation state but as a civilisation, with many regional and political factions attempting to control all of it.
Exactly right. It's more than just a country
Yes there are mainly two countries for civilisation in broader sence India and china.
Well, the point of this vid WAS there are differences in this civilization.
@@AJAYSINGH-ns1vv yet India broke up when differences became unmanageable.
if cultural and ethnic differences are a reason for the break up of a nation, then India, having an amazing amount of religious and cultural variation in each region of the country would be prone to a break up too. And granted, thats exactly what happened with Pakistan and Bangladesh, but even after the two regions full of muslims was separated from India proper, India today still has a sizeable muslim majority, which could split the country even further by this logic.
this is not even taking into account of the various sects of Hinduism, the Sikh population, the Jain population, the Buddhist Population, and the ways of life different regions lead (rajputs, people from punjab, people from bengal, and people from the south and centre of India all lead very different lives, and the major uniting factor is simply religion. however, when a religion is as seperated into different sects as Hinduism is, the result is similar to that off which has occured to the middle east.)
but china bad
I don't think even Indians themselves assume India will remind united forever.
@@huaiwei as an Indian, I can say India is more political stable than china at this moment. 1990sto 2014 was actually unstable era. No doubt muzlms make prblm everywhere because it's in their book.

I mean from secular liberal to highly religious like Iran but India as a political system will run more years than china.
Your views were wrong.religion was never actual or primary factor in indian politics at least until 2014. But not anymore.
@@huaiwei From the realistic perspective, India could be prone to break-up as well as Pakistan..
China did break up with the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. I have two maps I look at, one the Three Kingdoms of 400 CE that shows broad cultural lines today. The other is the PLA Theaters of Command, presuming things go as they did in 1912.
yeah, a throw back to the warlords era in the republican period
also, there is historical precedent for small nations breaking away from china
that is the only reason why vietnam is a country today
China, Russia and the late Yugoslavia and the Austro- Hungarian and Ottoman Empires have more in common than we can imagine.
The question is : why some multi-ethnic multi -national entities break up and some don't? Why some have longer life than the other(s)? ( The Hanseatic League and the Poland - Lithuanian " Commonwealth also come to mind. There are others, though!)
And to finalize this line of thought : why they all disintegrate at the end? ( Big Empires included).
No, except outer mongolia with help from Russia, even Mogolia's case did not settle dust before the end of WWII when Soviet became a big winner. In Tibet, there were represents from central government handle foreign affairs, though the 13th Dalai Lama evicted these officials from Beijing or Nanjing for several times, they never get full indenpendce. Tibet was a vassal state since Yuan dynasty to help them hold togather from internal conflict. Tibet experienced religious wars for almost two hundred years, and they need support from China to stablized their position against adversary in Tibet, in exchange they agree to be a vassal state (藩属) of China.
Have you heard the expression, "A bull in a china shop"? Well, this video explains the aftermath of broken China.
The bit missing from your opening is that it isn't simply a case of the PRC staking a claim over Taiwan - both the PRC (mainland China) and the ROC (Republic of China, aka Taiwan) officially maintain a claim of One China, with both claiming De Jure sovereignty over both mainland China and the island of Taiwan - at least officially under the ROC constitution.

I born in neighboring province of inner mongolia. Inner mongolia is a man-made province consists of several different areas. Many of my ancestors immigranted to socalled inner mongolia over 300 even thousand years ago. Actaully central inner mongolia was part of our province in the history. Central monglia share the same language and culture with us. It's hard for a possibility of spontaneous independence. The real area possible for a indepence will be southern xinjiang where han chinese is not the majority and the locals have a very distinct life style and religion.

There 3 facts we need to know:
1. The population of Tibet is around 3.5 millions. It is the poorest region of China, and receives hundreds of million dollars from the central government.
2. The population of Inner Mongolia is 24 millions, in which Han population accounts for 85% and ethnic Mongolian is only 3 million (12.5% only!).
3. Both Han and Uyghur people account for about 40% of Xinjiang population. Ethnic minorities (~20% of total) other than Uyghur probably do not support the independence, because they are still minorities if a nation of Uyghur is established.
Lol kazakhs, Kyrgyzs, Tajiks and other Muslim nations would be glad to become independent with Uyghurs which also the muslims who suffer from China, at least they'll breathe a free air, not the air of concentration camps and prisons.

Perhaps something like a clever use of the federalisation concept could allow everyone to win.
Beijing could retain overall control at the federal level, but allow say Xinjiang, Tibet and Mongolia to each have an additional local government to which some authority would be delegated, allowing regions that cause friction with Beijing to retain their distinctive characteristics.
Trying to force large numbers of peoples in distant places to all conform to a prescribed culture is likely to result in wars eventually.
You can force soneone to behave in a certain way for a time, but you can't change what they think deep inside, even with psychological conditioning (which is truly horrific).
Neither can you change the commonality they have with others of like mind.
Federalisation would all but eliminate unrest, without losing the territory.
It could conceivably even form the basis of a treaty with Taiwan, establishing a connection with Beijing.
No-one in the entire human race can really be forced to conform completely to something that is too far removed from their own culture.
But that doesn't hinder alliances and federations.
But that's all just speculation, as I am a Brit.
I'm quite fond of the Chinese peoples and their original cultures though, and I would like to see more harmony and prosperity there; just without the coercion, force or brutality, as these don't serve the interests of any of the peoples.
When you talk without knowing, the constitution states that the autonomous provinces Inner mongolia, XinJiang, Tibet needs those natives minorities to be in the local goverment, same as autonomous prefecture which can have koreans, yi, etc.
That would require the current government or a future government make up to actually want to preserve the unqiueness of different parts of the vast nation. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case, even though it would HEAVILY benefit the country in the long term, likely the short term too.
The Problem with federalisation is that the central government can take the power back, while seperate countrys are much safer to hold up there power.
A better Solution is an economic union with Independent countrys
The Chinese mentality is that the winner takes all, that has been the case for more than 2000 since the first Chinese Emperor. That's how China is run, centralized and totally controlled by the emperor or everybody is killing to found a new dynasty of his own when the old power is weakened . Federalization is a tradition long lost in China after Autumn and Spring Era around 500 BC. This is not going to happen all of a sudden.

PRC doesn't want to annex Taiwan. They say they already own it.

I like this hypothetical question and although it is indeed possible that China could break up (because anything is possible) I think it is highly unlikely as the conditions that made this possible in the past are much less significant if not non existent today. Over the years the Chinese government (CCP) did a very good job in creating a sense of national identity in the minds of the different ethnic groups as well as the different Han subsets by creating things like a common language and building out connective infrastructure that made it possible for people from different parts of China to interact more easily. Today hundreds of millions of Chinese people live in parts of the country that they did not historically live and all of these things have greatly diminished the strong sense of regionalism that contributed to previous breakups.
Tibet and maybe Xinjiang could try to break away if China ever descended into chaos but they would most likely be reconquered again when stability returns to the country as it always does.

I highly doubt it would ever happen that way. Except for Xinjiang and Tibet. The main reason is that most of the minorities recognized today in China (PRoC) were identified (giving their recognition of minorities plus other perks) by the Communist Party, that is, if it weren't for the Communists I highly doubt a Republican China would ever recognize and give these minorities rights the same way the Communists gave them at the time. Plus Han Chinese isn't a monolithic ethnicity.
Agreed, it is unlikely right now. It is not popular enough in most of China to recognize oneself as anything other than Han Chinese. As long as everyone wants to be Han they aren't going to want to separate. Right now, I could only see the Canton region separating as it is the only region that has really held on to its language (I think probably thanks to Hong Kong). As long as the CCP is in charge, I don't see that cultural shift happening.
@@evancombs5159 what does it mean to say “see canton separating?” As a native Cantonese from the canton province in mainland china, i am supposed to say what is the real situation and our thoughts. Never do we want to be separated from our country cause language is not the only factor to unify people, ethnicity and the common-shared history play a more important role in forming our nationality-recognition. The only conflict is that we want to preserve our mother tongue-that is Cantonese. We wanna that people from other provinces can respect Cantonese which shouldn’t be banned from using while mandarin is the status quote standardized official language.

yes, but India is an ally of US so why do we care which ethnic and religious minorities they persecute on a regular basis?

I see that quite a lot of work has gone into this video but unfortunately it has not touched upon the more realistic scenarios for a breakup of China. The scenario in which China can possibly breakup would be one in which the Han majority becomes divided against itself for various reasons. E.g. politics, regional pride, finances, culture. Having border regions breakaway would merely be an inadvertent consequence of the situation.
no chance. in china's entire multi thousands year old history, it has never broke apart because of some "Han majority becomes divided against itself for various reasons". literally has never happened. it was always a collapse of governance or external invasion. that's literally it.
@@mxn1948 yes, collapse of governance would be one such reason.
@@eugeneng2721 indeed and I would say, short of some apocalyptic natural disaster(ie a comet hits the earth and darkens the sky for 100 years). Failure of governance is the only possible way china fractures, since it's mainland is essentially safe from external invasion, what with the biggest modern army and nukes.
@@mxn1948 If you know anything about china's history this is hilariously wrong.
@@AL-lh2ht okay, then name a single instance where a united chinese dynasty collapses where the reason is not directly internal governance failures usually coupled with natural disasters, or external invasion.
we can start with the qin, -extremely harsh laws -internal scheme that saw a extremely weak emperor put on the threat by a corrupt eunuch.
Han, emperor ling was a terrible emperor that only cared for women and wine, and for some reason was really greedy for money(despite being emporer) leaving power to eunuchs, leading directly to the han's collapse
jin, internal war cause by the empress whose son, the emperor who had a learning disability.
sui, terrible second emperor who wasted a million+ lives on failed military campaigns and massive internal works followed by him fleeing then parting the rest of his days away while his empire fell.
tang, internal rebellion by a general lead to weakening of imperial power to regional warlords who then usurped power and descended to civil war
song, losing wars to liao, jin, then finally mongols, external threat was coupled with a government system that favored an extremely weak military giving its general basically no independence of action
yuan, power instability with many quick successions of emperors, the later ones going on massive spending sprees on bribes, parties and women, using a years worth of taxes in like a month in addition to the then climate change causing crop failures and floods every single year that the corrupt and incompetent emperors could not deal with leading to massive peasant rebellions
Ming, 4th to last emperor didnt go to court for the last 20 years of his rule, 3rd to last emperor was only on the throne for like a year, second to last emporer didn't go to court for his entire 10 year rule. by th etime the last emperor ascended the empire was already falling all around
qing, the westerners showed up and got the empire addicted to drugs at the point of a gun, and do many other things at the point of a gun.
so tell me, which one of these was not external invasion or governance failures?
literally none was because of some irreconcilable differences between han groups internally that caused civil wars it was almost the entire nation conquered by external forces, or the citizens pushed to extreme and the peasantry across the nation rose up.
Though I do agree with your reasoning for why places like Tibet and Xinjiang would wanting to secede if given the chance. I think that your Mongolian and Han Chinese arguments are flawed.
I say that your Mongol argument is flawed, is because the Mongolians themselves are or at least were a collection of different people groups grouped together based on Language and Culture. Though that might sounds irrelevant and/or contradictory, if you were to look into the past the people we consider “Mongols” now were once a collection of different nomadic tribes who formed coalitions with other nomadic tribes to defeat and control other nomadic tribes from different coalitions, which also helped with cultural exchange. Though that was before Genghis’s time and even during Genghis’s time there still was a lot variety is “Mongol” culture and loyalties. Though, Genghis did issue a written form of Mongol language to be made. But then again if things really do get bad enough in China I do think that it is a possibility, though the majority of Mongol people are in the the Chinese province of “Inner Mongolia” and their homeland is the steppes. While each Sub-group of course has their own “Homeland”. But maybe Nationalism could spike.
Then there is the argument for the Secession on Han Chinese people from Han Chinese Mainland China, claiming that because they were ruled by many different kingdoms and Dynasties from time to time. It then correlates to them having a reason to break away. The reason this is flawed because if you were to look at it with the assumption that these kingdoms and dynasties were fighting under the same circumstances of Western European kingdoms then it would seem like a reasonable conclusion. But, since this is China we’re talking about, and not Western European kingdoms, we should at least expect there to be some differences. But also similarities and there surely were.
You see, whenever China would engage in another Civil war it would be local Warlords fighting each other, but what people forget is that they’re Officials, and for the most part usually belonged to a powerful families or “Clan” and these officials served under the Emperor, who was by the time of a civil war were either under the threat of having their power usurped by them by outright rebellious officials, used as leverage by a warlord to gain an advantage over other warlords, and/or being protected by loyalist, who may just try to usurp power later. So the people under the control of these warlords would’ve only seen them as officials who like them served under the same leader.
But if that the party fighting over control of Han Chinese land wasn’t an Official, but instead a Foreign one then nobody would’ve had any loyalties to them because they’re foreign leaders with a different culture. The Yuan dynasty ruled by foreign Mongol people was kicked out of Chinese land. The Qing Dynasty was deposed and replaced by a Republic. Both of which certainly aren’t respected by Han Chinese people. Not sure about the Jin dynasty but it probably would’ve gotten the same treatment.
There is then difference in Cuisine, Game boards, language and etc. Which doesn’t really make much sense, since here in America we have that too but we don’t have Americans sayings Acadian, Deep South, New England, (State)BBQ, (state dish), and etc dishes are better and we should secede because of it. Same with those other subjects. We still see each other as Americans. Just a variation in Culture caused by regional differences and isolation since you can’t expect people with a mode of transportation to start standardizing Culture down to the smallest touch only for new changes to occur caused by the regional isolation especially varies quite a bit in geography allowing for cultural isolation to take place. But than again maybe I’m wrong. But in my opinion only Nationalism would allow people to get upset over variations.
Though I certainly am probably wrong about some of these things to an extent. Since I am an American and you can’t expect a foreigner to know so much about a foreign country’s customs, history and etc. Though I believe I got my information from a credible source that covers Chinese and Eastern History being the UA-cam Channel “Cool History Bros”. I just hope my evaluation wasn’t terrible.
Sure there is a lot of variety in the mongol peoples but they all ultimately identify as mongolian not han chinese, think genghis khan is the greatest person to ever live and share more in common with each other in terms of culture, lifestyle and language than the dominant han majority. It's just too different which is why historically integrating the mongols in inner mongolia has proved very difficult where even subtle changes like forbidding classes in mongolian from being taught in school was seen as an attack on their identity. However, I do feel like if China was to collapse inner mongolia might not reunify with mongolia due to the han majority in the region that happened over centuries of settlement and colonisation sort of like the situation in northern ireland.

One mistake, Xinjiang was part of China since Han Dynasty (2000 years ago), the name was Xiyu, which means western region. One of the most famous Chinese poets Li Bai from Tang Dynasty (618 AD) was born in there. The name Xinjiang is given by Qianlong Emperor, who took Xinjiang back from Imperial Russia, meaning "Old territory, New reunification".
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Yes, Xinjiang was named Xiyu by the Hans, it was a protectorate. (都護府）not州; the official word for central government rules districts. It had been in and out of central dynasties control many times. Using your logic, China was once ruled by Mongols, should it be united under Mongolia?
I'm not sure why you would bring Li Bai into this. What is the relevance of a poet's birthplace has to do with the question regarding Xinjiang's political situation?
@@Kalicious79 Regarding the Li Bai part, it actually has a lot to do, especially in cultural terms. The idea of a nation or a country is essentially a cultural fiction (an imagined community), so a sense of nationhood or country is very much fostered by cultural objects such as poets and poems (ig. William Shakespeare, Alexander Pushkin, Dante, Whitman). Li Bai is one of the greatest poets in Chinese history, so he and his work are kinda regarded as one of critical components of Chinese culture and national identity (imagine an English person who don't know who William Shakespeare is). As such, the fact that Li Bai is born in Xinjiang (or rather, present day Kyrgystan), cements the position of Xinjiang firmly within a Chinese cultural and civilizational history/tradition, within the imagined community of the Empire.
I though Li Bai was born in Sichuan
@@Kalicious79 China was ruled by Mongols, and today's China still respect and recognize Mongols as important members of the big family. If you learnt about Chinese history, you should know why the outer Mongolia got independence but the inner Mongolia did not. Mongols were different tribes and the rulers of the tribes in inner Mongolia thought stay in China is better.

The more I learn about Chinese history of its inner fights and divisions I would say it is quite possible for them to break apart again. Even in our relatively small island of UK it is beginning to break into its constituent historical countries. That is the way of peoples and history.
Apparently you should learn more about Chinese history.
分裂之后也只会再一次统一。
if you learned anything at all of chinese history, you'd know that it broke apart a whole bunch of times, only to could back together again. this is because of the ideology in place since the qin unified china, specifically that there can only be one legitimate ruler, until you conquer all of china you are not a legitimate emperor and have not yet been given the right to rule by the heavens. as such, all the times china broke, each of those pieces will always war until one wins out, hence china always comes back together.
The propaganda of the western media is a lot of false news, just like this video, everyone in Tibet supports the CCP, Dalai Lama was the dictator at that time, Tibet was a slave society, slave owners would peel people's skin and make them into paintings. The Western media always promote human rights and the Dalai Lama, but not the Tibetan slaves at that time. Then use these dictators as pawns to divide China.

Indeed I don't really think that Han Chinese territory, including most of Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, would break by culture. For several thousand years, with great differences, those parts remain to claim themselves as a part of China. If separation really happens, it would rather become warlords from different Han culture branches fighting each other for who is rightful China instead
And notice before the video, that China is definitely a nation-state, Han has more than 90% of the total population, is it possible for the so-called "autonomous" to be separate? this is worth thinking about.
People also have a hard time understanding that Inner Mongolians and Qinghai Tibetans fought on the side of the PRC against the Soviet-backed Mongolians and US/British-backed Central Tibetans to join China. It's no accident where the borders of today are drawn. It's a very weird narrative in how the story is told when as some kind of Han colonization when it was in big part Mongolians fighting Mongolians and Tibetans fighting Tibetans to decide their fate. For political purposes, there's this idea that the Mongols and Tibetans are this independent and culturally unified group before the PRC was formed. They were actually from different branches, tribes, and culturally distinct and as a result, had very different political wills
If an independent Tibet had won or if Mongolia claimed all of Inner Mongolia, it would've been the Central Tibetans dominating the Kham and Amdo (Qinghai) from Lhasa. Or the Khalkha (Outer Mongolians) defeating the Chahar (Inner Mongolians) and their Han allies. The shape of China today *is* political determinism
In fact, if you want to imagine a country splitting, you must first learn history.
Manchu independence is the most impractical and completely illusory. After the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu people were basically all sinicized. Now Manchu is a dead language. In other words, the Manchu people should be regarded as the Han people in culture, which is the most unlikely division.
Secondly, Mongolia was gradually weakened after the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and was subordinate to the Manchu in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, Mongolia's independence was supported by the Soviet Union. Without the support of the Soviet Union, Outer Mongolia would not be able to achieve independence at all. Therefore, there is no saying that Inner Mongolia returns to Outer Mongolia. It should be that Outer Mongolia returns to Inner Mongolia. After all, the blood of the orthodox successor of the Mongolian Empire is in Inner Mongolia.
Then there is Tibet. The possibility of independence in this region is very small. Buddhism has spread in most parts of China. At the same time, the current Buddhist leaders in Tibet are authorized by the central government. This tradition has continued since the Qing Dynasty. If he wants to become independent now, he must think about whether his religious status will be challenged.
Finally, Xinjiang, the mainstream religion in Xinjiang, believes in Islam. This region is most likely to be independent, but to be independent, it must have the support of a strong Islamic country. At the same time, Xinjiang must give up its future economic development prospects.
If you make a conclusion, you should first realize that China is most likely to fall into civil war rather than division. Even during the period of the Republic of China, all warlords recognized the integrity of China, and all places wanted to seize the rule of the country rather than allow themselves to become independent.Therefore, you will understand that it is unrealistic to speculate that a certain region will become independent from a narrow western perspective. On the contrary, it is more reasonable to imagine a civil war.
To sum up, all this is based on the premise that the existing central government is weak, which will be difficult to happen in the next 50 years. If I can make a more reliable assumption, I think Russia will encounter big trouble after Putin's death. Outer Mongolia is weak, and it is more likely to return to China in the future. If Russia fails to elect a strong leader after Putin's death, China will have the opportunity to occupy the territory of eastern Russia. At the same time, there will be no super power in Central Asia in the next 50 years at least. Therefore, it is not impossible for China to expand its influence in the Islamic world.
Tibet splitting isn't about Tibetan people. It's all about how weak China military is. If China military become weak enough Tibet will be splitted for sure without any consent of Tibetan people.
@@poom323 Historically, this is true
China has certainly experienced multiple episodes of central government collapses and the rise of warlordism throughout its history, and so it's easy to speculate similar events for the country's future, but on a realistic level I don't see that in the cards. The sheer might of the Chinese police state, military, and historical mass migration of Han people into those areas make any meaningful independence movements pretty unlikely to say the least. That is, apart from some extraordinary setback for the Chinese government. Don't get me wrong, I understand the context of the video, that it's purely speculative and it's interesting to imagine what the country would look like if similar events from its past were reenacted today.
If China starts a Taiwan war and if US and EU helps Taiwan than that might trigger those country's to ask India for military access so they could attack inland China from the west while getting the fleet and planes attack from the east. If it will look like China will loose this hypothetical war some of these groups of people might see it as their change to 'get out' of the regime. It might sparkle rebels and separate.
That's a lot of speculation and if's I understand, but it's interesting to keep in the back of your mind.
After the disintegration of many dynasties, the Chinese summed up the harbinger of the demise of the dynasty.
Every time the dynasty is about to collapse, the following happens.
(1) a very small number of people own a lot of wealth and land; (2) the rich who own a lot of wealth only have to pay very little tax to the government. (3) in order to maintain the normal operation of the government, a large number of taxes are borne by civilians with only a small amount of wealth. (4) military expenditure accounts for most of the government budget.
Judging from these circumstances, there is still a long way to go for China to disintegrate.🤭

You can't just use autonomous provinces as newly independent countries. There are also autonomous prefectures in other provinces. Knowing that Tibet would also encompass almost all of Qinghai province and a large part of Sichuan province.
Counties rarely become Countries. However Autonomous Territories are Nation-Built inherently set to be Countries that are sovereign
chna wont let tibet breakaway because of the fresh water
Should make a similar video for New York City. Because the same characteristics you’re basing your reasoning on also apply here in NYC.
Nice try!
There are so many mistakes that a historian will have a seizure.
The best thing is to mix the different ppl in every region
At least China should make Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia as Special Administrative Areas like Hong Kong and Macau. And let them run their governments by their own under “one country, two systems” policy, including having separate teams and representatives in Olympic Games, WTO, etc
That doesn't really make sense from their perspective. If you have regions with separatist leanings, more autonomy can make separatism more likely..look at Scotland lol
@@dunnowy123 The UK is actually interesting because it acknowledges that it is comprised of historically separate countries, it's right there in the name of the country.
I think it's a credit that we can even float the possibility of Scottish independence without having to put anyone in concentration camps to instruct them with the correct political leanings.
It's why we're able to discuss the issue frankly and openly, because no one is coming for you in the night because of your opinion on the matter, one way or the other.
This is the shame of totalitarianism. In a parallel universe, there is a Xinjiang that is quite content to be associated with the idea of a 'Greater China', because it's one that isn't actively stomping their face into the dirt with a jack boot.
@@rorychivers8769 what about ireland? What is the difference with Scotland that cause them to have a war of independence against the British while Scotland does not?
Can you do a “What if US broke up” video?
US is actually way more divided politically, economically and ethnical. It should be fun.
Interesting and informative. Can you also make a video on "what if Russia would break up? " AND "What if USA would break up?" ? Thank you.
If Ryssia breaks up into small nations, China might add territory to its possession. While western Russia might join Europe for protection. Not likely
the break up of china would be the best outcome for the different ethnicities within china to preserve their own cultures and also for the neighboring countries, so that they won't have to constantly fear a big bully.
No the outcome would immigration and unrest to neighboring countries
We will add another sum to our map, which will definitely be the same, but the map will become bigger.😂
This video needs a sequel!
I am also wondering what if the US, Canada, Australia, Russia, and even more countries are divided by the cultural areas and indigenous zones.
Very interesting video anyway, well done!
With Trump I wouldn't be surprised if the US would brake up. But most US states have a lot of power to make a lot of their own decisions. So that helps to keep the US together
would like to see native americans regain their sovereignty
US doesn’t have that much cultural regionalism because it’s just a big melting pot, Canada I can only think of Quebec
@@matthewdavid6134 considering the example of the former Spanish colony. They can break up base on state border and how connected they are to the other state.
@@chandy3859 That does make sense regionalism and regional integration levels, but that would still be kinda hard considering how interconnected the lower 48 are
I actually hate the time zone in the USA, so confusing and counter-productive to waste time on calculating, same time zone doesn't mean everyone goes to work at 9... it's different working hour in different city, from a bigger picture, it's much easy as traveler to adapt. and for setting up meetings making so much more sense...

If a nuclear superpower with technological advantages like China splits, It is a nightmare for the whole of Asia. Every small country that splits from it will strive to strengthen its own strength and strive to expand outward to obtain a competitive advantage. Each country has a population of more than 100 million, nuclear weapons, and modern armies. As a result, many countries in Asia will be annexed. Historically, China always return to reunification after each split, and every time it's stronger than ever.
No, I don't think that divided Chinese nations can threaten the region since all five independent countries in east Asia, Japan, SK, NK, Taiwan, and Mongolia, have enough strengths or diplomatic alliances to protect themselves even against the unified China.
Xinjiang and Tibet deserve to be independent again considering the crap they've been through and Mongolia would benefit from annexing inner Mongolia since more mongolians live there than in Mongolia itself
You fail to explain why (and how) China is held for now - by unified market and centralized planning that are efficient and beneficial to the establishment. Therefore, the ethnolinguistic presumption of a possible breakup is unrealistic. A more possible scenario is if regional centers like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, along with factions and cliques formed around these centers, started vying for control over the whole country.
But they were so cute together :(.

General Knowledge, you should do one for Russia, considering they conquered overtime a vast amount of land inhabited by so many various different ethnic races
FYI, there are over 50 ethnic groups in China, Zhuang is larger than the rest except the Han. The most distinctive groups are Zhuang, Hui, Manchu, Uyghur, Miao, Yi, Tujia, Tibet, and Mongol.
If breaking up China means freeing Tibet than I'm all in.

Don't think of China in terms of those small European countries. Even if China disintegrated, the eighteen provinces of Han Land would not declare independence, but wait for a new political party to lead everything and reunite. This has always been the case in China's history, and each time it has been reunified, its territory has increased.
Honestly i believe that the more probable is a division south/north and the separation of tibet east turkmenistan and mongolia in different countries
I am a Chinese, I can tell you that your idea is correct, our core area will be more identified with a spiritually unified ethnic group than the Han, Miao, Tibetan and other different ethnic groups, this situation will gradually weaken from east to west, but almost all countries in our history will deliberately publicize, I have a Miao friend, it now lives in the core area, the only time he remembered that he is a Miao in our country is a big exam, ethnic minorities can get preferential treatment in scores

Quite interesting video. As Chinese, I see only Tibet and southern Xinjiang have a chance to break from China. Cuz in other places, mandarin is spoken as the first language especially for the young generations, with regional languages and cultures diminishing. Most, if not all, cities are becoming more and more like Beijing.

The card sets even were different in East and West Germany. I grew up in Cologne, but visted Dresden several times before reunification.
While the west used mostly the French suits of Diamond, Heart, Spade, Club, the east had the traditional German suits of Acorns, Leaves, Hearts and Bells.
The most famous producer of German card sets was the ASS (Altenburger und Stralsunder Spielkartenfabrik) in formerly East Germany.
you really know a lot about Chinese history and culture
However,the inner Mongolia is not willing to go back to his old home.The opinion that the outer Mongolia and the inner used to be relatives is not wrong,but now the inner is more likely to live as a member of the PRC instead of the outer one.
They think they are Chinese.(and in fact they really are,no matter legally or socially)
Because the PRC is much more developed,the live in China and the outer Mongolia are absolutely different,people choose to live a better life.
And as we all know,the minority always get more privileges than Han.(yes,it's quite unfair to the majority Han).
so why do you think that the inner Mongolian will break apart from China
可以对比一下各省的民族比例，汉族大多占绝对优势，中国的汉族人口占90%以上，而且很多民族也是汉族的分支，像是客家等，我们一直都是一个国家的，从来没有分开过。这可能和其他多民族国家很不同，印度虽然人口也很多，却没有一个占绝对优势的民族。
