I am a Chinese American who grew up in Taiwan. One thing most American could not understand about Chinese is our desire to be proud again. Every Chinese child learned the humiliation to China since 1840 and is shamed of our collective weakness. Chinese culture teaches peace and prosperity for all humans. We don't understand why the West would invade us, nor we want to be a superpower doing the same thing to others. All Chinese wants is to be respected again as equal. This collective desire is why Chinese people supports their government, believing in common good for all humans, not just Chinese. This collective desire is why all individual Chinese studies hard and works hard. Be good!
As a Chinese from mainland China who is now living abroad, I couldn’t agree with you more. Poverty is a shame to most Chinese. Every Chinese wants to be success. That is why they work so hard every day.
I'm Singaporean and appreciate your insights informative and analytical, something almost all the other channels lack. Glad there is an American that is not blinded by political stupidity and narcissism. I do enjoy your neutral and pragmatic analysis. Thank you.
I’m an American citizen and worked construction most of my life. If I were a young man I’d move to China to learn more about the most advanced construction techniques and methods. I’ve supervised many projects and nothing we built compares to what the Chinese are capable of. Much respect
This is an excellent channel. China will lead the world into the future and the countries who work with China will prosper. Those countries which want to "contain" China are against human progress and they will decline and decay.

Or well told Cali to clean up the streets XDDD i might be lying about the last part! But Californians welcomed Xi and wanted him to be there every week to clean up the homeless XDDDD Watch the West pander to the Chinese market while ignoring everything is made in China and then saying everything made in China is crap while using 5G and speaking on their mobiles phones and computer!

Kevin, I have been avid follower of your absolutely phenomenal, videos. As an ABC, I frequently travel to China, at least 15x in the past 40 years and have bore witness to the miraculous changes, and to my dismay, the increasingly vitriolic and belligerent relations with the US and collective West. IMHO, you are spot on in your China analysis which is refreshingly free of anti-China rhetoric so prevalent in the Western narrative. I painfully follow the current events with unease, as I see each side making ever closer steps to violent confrontation. Irrespective of the measures which the West imposes, I too see the top hegemon losing ground as China continues its re-emergence on the world scene. Thank-you for your efforts!
Well if youve been following closely then you know its really ONLY one side that is overstepping and making steps to a violent confrontation! So its blatantly clear who is in the wrong for the past 40 heck 100 yrs if you like! One side has gotten away with so much shit for so long the scales are finally tipping because of Chinas determination and hard work and negotiations... if you think its China not setting out clear redlines that theyve repeated on countless occassions that the West have acknowledged over and over to only break them as evidenced with Russia?

"Unity of Purpose" among disparate nations to achieve a "Shared Destiny for Mankind" to start with BRICS and the Global South and then the Western world should they wish to join a shared prosperity in this world.
I like your one belt one road explanation. Before your comment I thought the numbers were just the typical organizational style of China’s slogans (3 of this or 4 of that). Another intrinsically beautiful hidden gem is the written word “good” … a combination of the symbol for mother and symbol for child.
Chinese government is trying to strive for a collective prosperity for world, something deep in the Chinese philosophy began in the Spring and Fall era. Given the fact current divided world that each nation trying to gain edge over the others, especially that deep rooted Pax Americana behold, I highly doubt it will succeed. I believe Xi’s is too naive and too kind towards these people and places sabotage his efforts.

chaoski1211 LOL! The Tank Man is well and living in Sydney, Australia… looks like you’re a typical American MSM Sheeple lapping up all the Anti-China propaganda lies! FYI…. The Ti4nanmen Square incident was a Failed colour revolution initiated by C1A
@@chaoskid1211 He was pulled away by another guy, and walked away, then the tanks later were partly destroyed by some gangsters. Some solders were pulled out and killed because they were not instructed to use their weapons.
I'm Australian deeply interested in wanting to know how China has performed this miracle in front of our eyes, if we are willing to open them. I've read books and articles on it and watched other video channels for more than seven years. Your videos, that I started watching about 2 months ago, have given me the best insight yet of anything I've read, seen or heard. I never miss watching them, please keep them coming.
@@gelinrefira Actuallly those might be a bit misleading. Although the current Chinese system does maintain certain communist/socialist characteristics, it's actually a complex one that mixes socialism, capitalism, and even a bit Confucianism, which China refers to as "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics." Pure communism doesn't work, and China's unsuccessful economic initiatives during the first few decades after its founding in 1949 were a direct result of following pure communist ideology. However, the leadership learned its lesson and corrected its course. With the current Chinese system, you basically get the best of two worlds. You have a virant private sector that contributes greatly to innovation and economic growth. On the other hand, you have a one-party political structure that ensures continuation of policy agendas. Most importantly, without election, politicians only get promoted through actual achievements such as improving people's livelihood. Since they don't need money to run elections, Chinese politicians control capitalists, not the other way round (like in those so-called "democratic" countries). This way, politicians actually serve the average citizen (instead of big corporations). That's the main difference between China and the US. Judging by the current world situation, it's clear which system is winning and which is losing.
@@gelinrefira You are wasting your time with him. No one, or almost no one, knows the first sentence of the first article in Mao's collective works: who is your friend and who is your enemy is your first question. Almost everyone thinks they are smarter intellectually and better morally than Marx, Lenin, and Mao because they agree from the bottom of their hearts that these three are evil and stupid.
I am a believer of the notion that you're not useful in this world unless you have made a difference to someone else in this world. You sir have made a great difference to many people including myself. So keep it up and a lot more people will appreciate you contributions
As a semi-retired consultant, uni-lecturer and entrepreneur with 40 years of international experience, I have found your channel the best so far. No fluff, just very interesting facts and analysis. Congratulations Kevin and thank you. Just keep it up and coming. Cheers
There are only a very few what I would call 'Golden Channels' on UA-cam, and this is one. Calm, consice, honest, and insightful content. I am now a regular listener and can only say a humble thank you to Kevin and his team for their hard work 🙏 you are much appreciated.
Thank you Kevin and your friends for good and up-to-date contents and happy birthday. While your despair about America's future is warranted, you know America is not going down without dragging the whole world down too and that is what I despair about. There is already wars brewing in all corners of the world and I am most impressed with China/Xi's restraints. Keep up the great work.
The original meaning of chinaman, a free lesson for you and birthday boy Kevin Chinaman, as well as silkman and teaman, were the names for European aristocracies used by the commoner Europeans for thousands of years because they were the only Europeans who could afford china, silk, and tea. So, Chinaman is a term of admiration to Europeans. You must have heard of a type of furniture called a china cabinet. You may even own one and display your favorite china in it. Of course, you may not because they aren't cheap, and many Western families don't own one. Similarly, the meaning of Christianity used to be Godless because Romans had their God. The Asianman who crawled out of the virgin's pussy wasn't considered God in both Israel and Rome, of course, including Europe.
China is just showing EVERYONE can do it! China is 1.5BLN!!! US 5X smaller US should SHOULD be able to allocate the resources accordingly to do it! China is just highlighting, not even telling everyone that they should do it... China knows everyone is unique! has its own problems, but can be worked out hence the WIN WIN mantra! But the West is stubbornly all in on zero sum gain! its them or the highway!?
There are still waste from wrong central governement plans, but there is clear accountability as the people know who to blame, and for big issues the people's voice will be loud enough that the government must act to rectify itself. Sadly in "democratic" system, there will only be blame games and empty promises but nothing can really be done.
@@infoseeker1187 After 2007/8 collapse, the Chinese government told the banks to lend to business. The banks in the west were told the same thing by theirs. The difference of outcome arises from China having a system that works, and the west does not. EU/US bankers are more powerful than their host country.
Very impressive speech. I look forrard to notifications when you release a video and its the first thing I look at. As someone from the caribbean I was shocked after living in the USA and returning to Trinidad to see how much China was involved in the economy. Our public bus system is run on Chinese buses, the pediatric hospital was built by chinese, capital city sky scappers built by chiese. All over the country construction is being done by Chinese companies. Then consumer products I never heard of from China. First Huawei phone I saw was there. Now the Chinese car brands are there. The flightbfrom Trinidad to Miami is only 3.5 hours to China its a day. Yet still China is so involved in the economy. The same isnhappening all over the Caribbean. That is telling
Unfortunately the US government wouldn't learn that. Because if they do .. there is no confrontation, no fight between nations. And if there is no fight, and no dirty rhetoric between the world's politicians.. they will not be able to produce arms and sell them. In other words, those dirty politicians' pockets will be empty eventually.
Patience is another iconic character as well hangs over every martial arts school as well and has been drilled into me to keep fighting white people! Its an analogy im not really fighting white people everyday or any people!!! XDDDD Every martial artist Chinese or Japanese knows the word! And it still an important lesson that i still get wrong!!!! You get the idea... the Chinese nation and its people have taken a ton of shit over the years and now its so ingrained some of us think we're inferior etc when the actions of the west for the past 200 and their contracts and partnerships tell us they fear the Chinese the most! Hence can anybody explain the 5 eyes pact all the way back in history when China was defeated, and Napoleons comment about letting China sleep!!!! And what about the most modern day example of China being the ONLY nation to be rejected or banned from the ISS!?? China hasnt done jack to the West but China gets the ill treatment and the containment strategy.... The West obviously knew this was coming! And actually forsaw the rise hence all the preparations against China! And its just China working to its advantages and potential of 1.5BLN everybody else is slacking!
Similar to you I am ex military, moved to China 12 years ago and have lived and am working here. Loved what I saw in China, the people and the society. Also like you I find the US more and more difficult to go back to. My last trip in February was to both San Francisco and my childhood home in New Hampshire. I was shocked to see people sleeping on the Main Street of Manchester in February! In San Francisco I expected this but not in New Hampshire. It is truly disappointing to see how morally degraded the country is. Especially in the politics. What is hard to accept is that the countries I was always taught were totalitarian and abusive to their people are actually more humanistic and align better with me morally than my home country. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are to the point and informative. I appreciate that you respect time.
This content creator is the most resourceful and cogent amongst those that are reporting on China. Every argument that he makes is substantiated by in-depth analysis, insightful reports and articles as well as statistical data. Kevin is not biased as other Western mainstream media. Believe it or not, we have to acknowledge China has capatulted from a mostly agrarian country to the second largest economy on earth in just 3 decades. I am staying tuned and subscribed for sure!
Hi Kevin, I spent 2 months in china around the time of Canton Fair in April and may...amd i visited more than 40 factories for my industry in different cities ...and I was amazed at the advancement, progress, and prosperity there and the richness in almost every field of knowledge ...
Happy birthday, Kevin! You look content and at peace. When you know what you are doing is for the greater good of ALL people, not just SOME people, you know you can sleep at night!! Thank you for sharing your most interesting background and your higher wisdom!! There is always beauty in PEACE and serenity.
The most interesting part to me about your presentation is your closing statement: it's precise, sharp, deep, powerful, wise, insightfull, enlightning, memorable, all this words and more!
You are a breath of fresh air, by focusing on facts rather than emotionally driven content. You are succinct and to the point, which is increasingly rare on social media. You have quickly become one of my favorite vlogs and I want to thank you for that.
Mr Walmsley, you are doing work that is very informative to a range of interests, and as a result and most importantly it contributes to world harmony and peace.
Kevin, I'm from the future. You'll have 72.5k subscribers on 28 September 2024. You'll have uploaded a plethora of very informative and important videos that help enlighten the world about the global impact of Chinese commerce. Well done!
Best economic news channel on understanding the major changes coming down the road. Kevin provides amazing and often disturbing insights for what's in store for the world.
I am from Guangzhou, China, and I usually watch videos silently and rarely leave comments, but this is the most special channel I've come across on UA-cam. The content is very informative and inspiring, and it surprises me that the host is actually an authentic American. I believe you are a very devout Christian because in many videos, I notice the background has the sound of reading scriptures. This is one of the few channels that allows me to understand what's happening in China from another perspective. Please keep up the good work, be good!
This is my favorite China focused channel. All the others present a narrative with an agenda that do not help me connect the dots. Your stories are like the old school news that presents facts for us to interpret and connect the dots as we see fit. Thank you for the great content and keep up the great work.
Kevin thank you for your rational point of views. We won't learn if we continue to believe we are better & smarter than others. Instead, we should thank China for the wakeup calls and listen, with humility, to what they have to say.
Kevin, I was taken aback to learn that you are not well versed in the Chinese language. But you articulated your pieces so well .. amazing. Thanks for bringing us this great channel 🙏🙏
Your videos are always interesting, I don't mind to be watching for more than 8 minutes! The truth is always better than the lies from traditional media.
Kevin, happy 56th to you. You are right to be impressed with the things you mentioned. As usual, your analysis and insight are outstanding. However, allow me to add this. We (you and I and everybody else) should be impressed with China *in comparison* to Western nations like the United States, Canada, and Britain. The sharp contrast makes everything all the more stunning. Great channel. It's on my Top 5 list.
Thank you for presenting things as they are without being biased. Your presentations are concise and factual, they are clear and easy to understand. The truth is a rarity in this day and time.
It all grew so quickly because it's not the emergence of China, but RE-emergence of China. There are memories of having been successful at all of these things -- grand ambitious constructions (Great Wall, ancient huge irrigation projects, etc); business ventures stretching across half the world; diplomacy; a reasonably efficient bureaucracy; the concept of the mandate of heaven where the leader must serve the people or heaven will withdraw its favor and rightly lose their high positions, etc. etc. The fundamental know-how remained alive and well, just needs updating with new knowledge and information. All of that instills the confidence (even though much suppressed in the 100 years of wars and turbulence) that if it happened before, not once not twice but multiple times, then it can and will happen again.
in school, my history lessons always included china as a big power in trading with our country. they had been doing win-win relationships with other countries for centuries. guess who colonized to get what "they" want?
Thank you so much for your unique and informative shows. As an overseas Chinese, I'm so happy to hear from an American talking about China's advances in many areas, and sounding alarm bells to the Western countries. But I'll be even happier if you can also sound alarm bells to China in some areas where most Chinese people don't realise the danger.
Happy Birthday Kevin 🥳 thank you for making these videos which help to better understand what is happening in China vis a vis the US. Keep up your excellent work and God bless you 🙏
Happy Birthday Kevin. Thank you for telling the truth. Thank for being objective. China have a wonderful culture to explore. Everyday I appreciate being with my wife from Guangzhou keep your well research YT
I'm an engineer and investor who just made the move from California to Shanghai for some of the reasons you mentioned. I see the flashing red lights in the US. Might not happen in my lifetime, but I'd prefer my children be born and raised on the rising plane rather than the falling one.
Just wanted to say I am also a retired military veteran (Air Force) that lives in China and works here. I spent many days trying to figure out how to adapt/recognize the Chinese business culture, but most of the videos I've seen are based on decade old facts or I can't relate because of the rare niche I fall into. I know that business social cultural norms are not the purpose of your channel, but I do find the work you guys do very interesting and could help me understand China better than I do now.
Thank you Kevin I like your idea. I truethfull human bing. Honest. Sincere. And strieghtford human. Go on we are watching, all good news. We learn every day. 👈
Most impressed of your open views as a Westerner actually living, hearing, seeing there in person. And witnessing the rise of China and now turmoil of the West happening in real-time.
Thank you Kevin for doing these videos. You provide a thoughtful and succinct commentary on the state of China’s economy and the relationship nuances between the U.S. and China that is superior to anything on UA-cam. Please keep it up. And thank you for being so thoughtful on the length of your videos. You don’t waste a single word, and this is much appreciated.
Thank you for the clarification. I have always looked for your input first thing in the morning. Now it’s even more imperative that I do. You are one of a kind, unique, and a gem.
I’ve watched a few of your videos now, I’ve liked your style and thoughtful presentation - especially your lack of sensationalism. So, I’ve made my way to your channel to have a look and subscribe. Your statement on ‘taking care of people as a basic function of government’ is in such sharp contrast to the attitudes around me, and the projected attitude of government and media - your words are such a basic truth for me and to hear you say it so matter of factly brought tears to my eyes. For context - I live in a small wester nation with very few destitute people and almost no begging anywhere but the major centres.. Keep up the great work, thank you and all the best to you & yours.
Kevin, really believe you're the most insightful and prescient around as to China stuff. I am very disappointed that you do not have MILLIONS of followers. You deserve that, and it would greatly benefit the public. Anyway, I'm so glad you're doing this. It has made a big difference in my own understanding. THANK YOU.
As a student of history, to me it's not unusual that China came from behind and fully recovered in as little as 40 years (for the current administration, it actually took longer as mistakes were made after employing a foreign idea). Look at China's dynastic past and you'll know. With peace, there is prosperity. It sounds very cliche, but to the Chinese, it's simple as that. Happy birthday btw! Hope all is well in China.
The U.S. need to collaborate using a new smart foreign investment JV vehicle that both countries holds 50% of the new JV company (Copying China), we can share the new techs and profits and at the same time solidify trust with these new form of collateral. It takes China 20 hard working years to build this supply chain, it would be impossible for us to do it alone without this supply chain, we don't have 20 years or the money to do it. We just have to face the reality and do what we are good at, because we are the best story teller in the world and that is our biggest assets to any foreign brands. You have the best financial channel on YT, I have been there and done that for the past 20 years myself, I am shaking my head everyday.
Except that American pride blocks the possibilities of JV. The supply chain is not to be grabbed except by wars because most of the countries prefers doing business with China who thinks win-win. What American need to realise is that our system is not efficient enough to be competitive nor desirable in term of bringing benefits to all citizens. But, this is such a fundamental change in governing concept which would change only in despair.
Thank you Kevin. You've just explained why i watch your videos, concise, informative, to the point. If done right, I can also see the channel being an archive for those wanting to look back and study the phenomenon you just discussed.
I am a woman from the Philippines and i have very different views from most of my countrymen. My worldview has been partly influenced by watching all your videos.Thank you.
Blessed are the peacemakers. The angel declared, "Glory to God, peace & goodwill to man", from the Saviour. The object of man. Keep at it, be good. Kevin, you are a source of encouragement & truth. A voice in the vast wilderness of West media. Thank you.

It bring balance to a planet that is tired of what the French call "la pensée unique". The best the West can do is compete with China in doing good rather than bad mouthing the dragon. God bless you Kevin🙏
This channel has in depth understanding and content coverage of designated topics of interests, highly recommended! One of very few worthy channels!
I’m chinese born in west. You make me so proud of China and being Chinese.
Lol. Where'd you learn to speak English? What ever happened to Tank Man?
chaoski1211 LOL! The Tank Man is well and living in Sydney, Australia… looks like you’re a typical American MSM Sheeple lapping up all the Anti-China propaganda lies!
FYI…. The Ti4nanmen Square incident was a Failed colour revolution initiated by C1A

Do you speak English in the declining US empire?
I always thought it was double Dutch!!😀😀
@@chaoskid1211 He was pulled away by another guy, and walked away, then the tanks later were partly destroyed by some gangsters. Some solders were pulled out and killed because they were not instructed to use their weapons.
I'm Australian deeply interested in wanting to know how China has performed this miracle in front of our eyes, if we are willing to open them. I've read books and articles on it and watched other video channels for more than seven years. Your videos, that I started watching about 2 months ago, have given me the best insight yet of anything I've read, seen or heard. I never miss watching them, please keep them coming.
The Chinese did it with countless sanctions and technology embargoes.
You can start be reading Marx, then Lenin, then Mao.
@@gelinrefira Actuallly those might be a bit misleading. Although the current Chinese system does maintain certain communist/socialist characteristics, it's actually a complex one that mixes socialism, capitalism, and even a bit Confucianism, which China refers to as "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics." Pure communism doesn't work, and China's unsuccessful economic initiatives during the first few decades after its founding in 1949 were a direct result of following pure communist ideology. However, the leadership learned its lesson and corrected its course. With the current Chinese system, you basically get the best of two worlds. You have a virant private sector that contributes greatly to innovation and economic growth. On the other hand, you have a one-party political structure that ensures continuation of policy agendas. Most importantly, without election, politicians only get promoted through actual achievements such as improving people's livelihood. Since they don't need money to run elections, Chinese politicians control capitalists, not the other way round (like in those so-called "democratic" countries). This way, politicians actually serve the average citizen (instead of big corporations). That's the main difference between China and the US. Judging by the current world situation, it's clear which system is winning and which is losing.
@@simonshen8478 I don't think you actually understand Marxist-Leninism if you think there is a purity test for it.
@@gelinrefira You are wasting your time with him. No one, or almost no one, knows the first sentence of the first article in Mao's collective works: who is your friend and who is your enemy is your first question. Almost everyone thinks they are smarter intellectually and better morally than Marx, Lenin, and Mao because they agree from the bottom of their hearts that these three are evil and stupid.
Happy Birthday hope you have a grand day
I am a believer of the notion that you're not useful in this world unless you have made a difference to someone else in this world. You sir have made a great difference to many people including myself. So keep it up and a lot more people will appreciate you contributions
Wonderful Channel! Very informative, easy to understand and thanks for acknowledging your faith! God Bless
You are the most informative Podcaster on yt. I truly enjoy listening to you, thank you.
Prob the best channel I discovered so far this year, keep up with the great work, been learning a lot from your contents. Happy Birthday Kevin!
As a semi-retired consultant, uni-lecturer and entrepreneur with 40 years of international experience, I have found your channel the best so far. No fluff, just very interesting facts and analysis.
Congratulations Kevin and thank you.
Just keep it up and coming. Cheers
There are only a very few what I would call 'Golden Channels' on UA-cam, and this is one. Calm, consice, honest, and insightful content. I am now a regular listener and can only say a humble thank you to Kevin and his team for their hard work 🙏 you are much appreciated.
Deep thinker you are!!! You earn my respect!!! A rare species….here in US.
Thank you Kevin and your friends for good and up-to-date contents and happy birthday. While your despair about America's future is warranted, you know America is not going down without dragging the whole world down too and that is what I despair about. There is already wars brewing in all corners of the world and I am most impressed with China/Xi's restraints. Keep up the great work.
I love the America of the 60's, the America now is not respected or loved. Examine yourself America before its too late.;
The original meaning of chinaman, a free lesson for you and birthday boy Kevin
Chinaman, as well as silkman and teaman, were the names for European aristocracies used by the commoner Europeans for thousands of years because they were the only Europeans who could afford china, silk, and tea.
So, Chinaman is a term of admiration to Europeans.
You must have heard of a type of furniture called a china cabinet. You may even own one and display your favorite china in it. Of course, you may not because they aren't cheap, and many Western families don't own one.
Similarly, the meaning of Christianity used to be Godless because Romans had their God. The Asianman who crawled out of the virgin's pussy wasn't considered God in both Israel and Rome, of course, including Europe.
Best channel I discovered this year. Love the topics covered.
Keep it up.
Greetings from South Africa.
Thank you for sharing your background and all your work. Your dispatches are most appreciated. 🇨🇦
Best western youtube channel on china
The power of a well planned economy that isn't overburdened with corporate waste/greed.
China is just showing EVERYONE can do it! China is 1.5BLN!!! US 5X smaller US should SHOULD be able to allocate the resources accordingly to do it!
China is just highlighting, not even telling everyone that they should do it... China knows everyone is unique! has its own problems, but can be worked out hence the WIN WIN mantra!
But the West is stubbornly all in on zero sum gain! its them or the highway!?
Shhhh.... They will never admit it.
There are still waste from wrong central governement plans, but there is clear accountability as the people know who to blame, and for big issues the people's voice will be loud enough that the government must act to rectify itself.
Sadly in "democratic" system, there will only be blame games and empty promises but nothing can really be done.
@@infoseeker1187 After 2007/8 collapse, the Chinese government told the banks to lend to business. The banks in the west were told the same thing by theirs. The difference of outcome arises from China having a system that works, and the west does not. EU/US bankers are more powerful than their host country.
1000% respect for your postings 🥰✌️🙏🙏🙏
Very impressive speech. I look forrard to notifications when you release a video and its the first thing I look at. As someone from the caribbean I was shocked after living in the USA and returning to Trinidad to see how much China was involved in the economy. Our public bus system is run on Chinese buses, the pediatric hospital was built by chinese, capital city sky scappers built by chiese. All over the country construction is being done by Chinese companies. Then consumer products I never heard of from China. First Huawei phone I saw was there. Now the Chinese car brands are there. The flightbfrom Trinidad to Miami is only 3.5 hours to China its a day. Yet still China is so involved in the economy. The same isnhappening all over the Caribbean. That is telling
very informative . Thank you. China helps people to improve lives in your country and not to give guns to kill one another. That is humanity.
All these years, you guys were overpaying for stuff from the US because you didnt have a choice, now everyone knows better.
The first Lesson in Chinese school is HUMBLED!!! It is ingrained for 5000 years culture!!
US government needs to learn this lessons- a simple one.
The US govt is now like a dying dog with rabies, attacking anywhere.
Unfortunately the US government wouldn't learn that. Because if they do .. there is no confrontation, no fight between nations. And if there is no fight, and no dirty rhetoric between the world's politicians.. they will not be able to produce arms and sell them. In other words, those dirty politicians' pockets will be empty eventually.
The west mis-interpret humbleness as insecurity and lack of confidence.
Patience is another iconic character as well hangs over every martial arts school as well and has been drilled into me to keep fighting white people! Its an analogy im not really fighting white people everyday or any people!!! XDDDD
Every martial artist Chinese or Japanese knows the word! And it still an important lesson that i still get wrong!!!!
You get the idea... the Chinese nation and its people have taken a ton of shit over the years and now its so ingrained some of us think we're inferior etc when the actions of the west for the past 200 and their contracts and partnerships tell us they fear the Chinese the most!
Hence can anybody explain the 5 eyes pact all the way back in history when China was defeated, and Napoleons comment about letting China sleep!!!! And what about the most modern day example of China being the ONLY nation to be rejected or banned from the ISS!??
China hasnt done jack to the West but China gets the ill treatment and the containment strategy.... The West obviously knew this was coming! And actually forsaw the rise hence all the preparations against China!
And its just China working to its advantages and potential of 1.5BLN everybody else is slacking!
Come and try to teach it to us. Try to take our guns away first. 😂
Similar to you I am ex military, moved to China 12 years ago and have lived and am working here. Loved what I saw in China, the people and the society.
Also like you I find the US more and more difficult to go back to. My last trip in February was to both San Francisco and my childhood home in New Hampshire. I was shocked to see people sleeping on the Main Street of Manchester in February! In San Francisco I expected this but not in New Hampshire.
It is truly disappointing to see how morally degraded the country is. Especially in the politics.
What is hard to accept is that the countries I was always taught were totalitarian and abusive to their people are actually more humanistic and align better with me morally than my home country.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They are to the point and informative. I appreciate that you respect time.
Ould Saying. Travel is the Best Education. A Broader Outlook you have Achieved. 👍
This content creator is the most resourceful and cogent amongst those that are reporting on China. Every argument that he makes is substantiated by in-depth analysis, insightful reports and articles as well as statistical data. Kevin is not biased as other Western mainstream media. Believe it or not, we have to acknowledge China has capatulted from a mostly agrarian country to the second largest economy on earth in just 3 decades. I am staying tuned and subscribed for sure!
This is the best and the most informative channel about China I have come across for years. Thank you very much.
Your analysis is very helpful. Thank you!
Hi Kevin,
I spent 2 months in china around the time of Canton Fair in April and may...amd i visited more than 40 factories for my industry in different cities ...and I was amazed at the advancement, progress, and prosperity there and the richness in almost every field of knowledge ...
Kevin you are one true American patriot! The bridge and the ambassador of two countries and two civilisations. Happiest birthday! 🎁 God bless!! ❤️♥️❤️
Happy birthday, Kevin! You look content and at peace. When you know what you are doing is for the greater good of ALL people, not just SOME people, you know you can sleep at night!! Thank you for sharing your most interesting background and your higher wisdom!! There is always beauty in PEACE and serenity.
The most interesting part to me about your presentation is your closing statement: it's precise, sharp, deep, powerful, wise, insightfull, enlightning, memorable, all this words and more!
Love your message, also wishing and praying for prosperity and peace for our world 🙏🙏🙏
This is consistenly the best source on the China-West relationship
You are a breath of fresh air, by focusing on facts rather than emotionally driven content. You are succinct and to the point, which is increasingly rare on social media.
You have quickly become one of my favorite vlogs and I want to thank you for that.
Happy birthday. Absolutely love your videos!
a declining empire is filled with melancholy, a rising one with the spirit of endless possibilities and opportunities.
Well said!
Your channel has open perspectives on China and its role in the world today
This is an excellent informative channel
Hope a lot more Americans are watching his videos. ❤Kevin
Mr Walmsley, you are doing work that is very informative to a range of interests, and as a result and most importantly it contributes to world harmony and peace.
Kevin, I'm from the future. You'll have 72.5k subscribers on 28 September 2024. You'll have uploaded a plethora of very informative and important videos that help enlighten the world about the global impact of Chinese commerce. Well done!
Keep it sincere and honest. It appeals to good and wise citizen of the world.
Wonderful channel by Mr Kevin Walmsley
Awesome videos. Great insight. Watching all of them last few days.
Best economic news channel on understanding the major changes coming down the road. Kevin provides amazing and often disturbing insights for what's in store for the world.
I am from Guangzhou, China, and I usually watch videos silently and rarely leave comments, but this is the most special channel I've come across on UA-cam. The content is very informative and inspiring, and it surprises me that the host is actually an authentic American. I believe you are a very devout Christian because in many videos, I notice the background has the sound of reading scriptures. This is one of the few channels that allows me to understand what's happening in China from another perspective. Please keep up the good work, be good!
❤❤
This is my favorite China focused channel. All the others present a narrative with an agenda that do not help me connect the dots. Your stories are like the old school news that presents facts for us to interpret and connect the dots as we see fit. Thank you for the great content and keep up the great work.
I learn so much from you.......thank you every day for showing us the real china.
Salute to you Kevin. You’re telling the facts, proud of you
Happy Birthday Kevin. It's a pleasure to have make your acquaintance. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Kevin thank you for your rational point of views. We won't learn if we continue to believe we are better & smarter than others. Instead, we should thank China for the wakeup calls and listen, with humility, to what they have to say.
So grateful for you creating this amazing channel sir😊
Right just what was needed
Kevin, I was taken aback to learn that you are not well versed in the Chinese language. But you articulated your pieces so well .. amazing. Thanks for bringing us this great channel 🙏🙏
Thank you Kevin
Your short clips on numerous topics are excellent and informative. I am always on the look out for them.
Your videos are always interesting, I don't mind to be watching for more than 8 minutes! The truth is always better than the lies from traditional media.
Kevin, happy 56th to you.
You are right to be impressed with the things you mentioned. As usual, your analysis and insight are outstanding.
However, allow me to add this. We (you and I and everybody else) should be impressed with China *in comparison* to Western nations like the United States, Canada, and Britain. The sharp contrast makes everything all the more stunning.
Great channel. It's on my Top 5 list.
Thank you for presenting things as they are without being biased. Your presentations are concise and factual, they are clear and easy to understand.
The truth is a rarity in this day and time.
It all grew so quickly because it's not the emergence of China, but RE-emergence of China. There are memories of having been successful at all of these things -- grand ambitious constructions (Great Wall, ancient huge irrigation projects, etc); business ventures stretching across half the world; diplomacy; a reasonably efficient bureaucracy; the concept of the mandate of heaven where the leader must serve the people or heaven will withdraw its favor and rightly lose their high positions, etc. etc. The fundamental know-how remained alive and well, just needs updating with new knowledge and information. All of that instills the confidence (even though much suppressed in the 100 years of wars and turbulence) that if it happened before, not once not twice but multiple times, then it can and will happen again.
Well said and great, great point! The world's oldest and greatest living civilization re-emerges to greater heights indeed.
You forgot one crucial memory: In its long history, China was always strong when it had a strong central government.
in school, my history lessons always included china as a big power in trading with our country. they had been doing win-win relationships with other countries for centuries. guess who colonized to get what "they" want?
Spot on. It is also easier to restart your life in a place where you lived before.
May the Lord bless you, Kevin. I appreciate your bold witness to you faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much for your unique and informative shows. As an overseas Chinese, I'm so happy to hear from an American talking about China's advances in many areas, and sounding alarm bells to the Western countries. But I'll be even happier if you can also sound alarm bells to China in some areas where most Chinese people don't realise the danger.
The program you run it is a facts from the different perspective. It’s very informative facts that people makes it’s adjustment
Happy Birthday Kevin! I gave you a solid pitch on "X" today. Great great work!
Happy Birthday Kevin 🥳 thank you for making these videos which help to better understand what is happening in China vis a vis the US. Keep up your excellent work and God bless you 🙏
very respectful channel with good information. Keep it going strong Kevin!
Happy Birthday Kevin. Thank you for telling the truth. Thank for being objective. China have a wonderful culture to explore. Everyday I appreciate being with my wife from Guangzhou keep your well research YT
I'm an engineer and investor who just made the move from California to Shanghai for some of the reasons you mentioned. I see the flashing red lights in the US. Might not happen in my lifetime, but I'd prefer my children be born and raised on the rising plane rather than the falling one.
Congratulations, bowing down to a caring system, is better than bowing down to American system
Kevin is knowledgeable and insightful, and yet he speaks with humility. In particular, I respect him for his humanity. Be good, and be well.
100% truthsayer. You're expressing what many Americans such as myself are feeling. Please continue your chronicling of events, Kevin.
Just wanted to say I am also a retired military veteran (Air Force) that lives in China and works here. I spent many days trying to figure out how to adapt/recognize the Chinese business culture, but most of the videos I've seen are based on decade old facts or I can't relate because of the rare niche I fall into. I know that business social cultural norms are not the purpose of your channel, but I do find the work you guys do very interesting and could help me understand China better than I do now.
You need someone like you who shares facts without double standards or biases
Kevin, congratulations on reaching the 20k subscriber milestone! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Kevin I like your idea. I truethfull human bing. Honest. Sincere. And strieghtford human. Go on we are watching, all good news. We learn every day. 👈
Most impressed of your open views as a Westerner actually living, hearing, seeing there in person. And witnessing the rise of China and now turmoil of the West happening in real-time.
Well spoken of the TRUTH if the US government listen 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Thank you Kevin for doing these videos. You provide a thoughtful and succinct commentary on the state of China’s economy and the relationship nuances between the U.S. and China that is superior to anything on UA-cam. Please keep it up. And thank you for being so thoughtful on the length of your videos. You don’t waste a single word, and this is much appreciated.
There is another very interesting channel 'Nick in China'.
Excellent video. Thank You.
I LOVE your introduction and honesty........
........AND your commentaries!!
Best Wishes from Australia mate.
Blessed birthday Kevin, great insights, balanced analysis, keep up the good work, may 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
Thank you for the clarification. I have always looked for your input first thing in the morning. Now it’s even more imperative that I do. You are one of a kind, unique, and a gem.
ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE AND BE CAREFUL AS TRUTH COULD BE DEADLY IN OUR VAIN WORLD OF TODAY''
I’ve watched a few of your videos now, I’ve liked your style and thoughtful presentation - especially your lack of sensationalism. So, I’ve made my way to your channel to have a look and subscribe.
Your statement on ‘taking care of people as a basic function of government’ is in such sharp contrast to the attitudes around me, and the projected attitude of government and media - your words are such a basic truth for me and to hear you say it so matter of factly brought tears to my eyes.
For context - I live in a small wester nation with very few destitute people and almost no begging anywhere but the major centres..
Keep up the great work, thank you and all the best to you & yours.
Kevin, really believe you're the most insightful and prescient around as to China stuff. I am very disappointed that you do not have MILLIONS of followers. You deserve that, and it would greatly benefit the public. Anyway, I'm so glad you're doing this. It has made a big difference in my own understanding. THANK YOU.
As a student of history, to me it's not unusual that China came from behind and fully recovered in as little as 40 years (for the current administration, it actually took longer as mistakes were made after employing a foreign idea). Look at China's dynastic past and you'll know. With peace, there is prosperity. It sounds very cliche, but to the Chinese, it's simple as that. Happy birthday btw! Hope all is well in China.
The U.S. need to collaborate using a new smart foreign investment JV vehicle that both countries holds 50% of the new JV company (Copying China), we can share the new techs and profits and at the same time solidify trust with these new form of collateral. It takes China 20 hard working years to build this supply chain, it would be impossible for us to do it alone without this supply chain, we don't have 20 years or the money to do it. We just have to face the reality and do what we are good at, because we are the best story teller in the world and that is our biggest assets to any foreign brands. You have the best financial channel on YT, I have been there and done that for the past 20 years myself, I am shaking my head everyday.
Except that American pride blocks the possibilities of JV. The supply chain is not to be grabbed except by wars because most of the countries prefers doing business with China who thinks win-win. What American need to realise is that our system is not efficient enough to be competitive nor desirable in term of bringing benefits to all citizens. But, this is such a fundamental change in governing concept which would change only in despair.
As someone who currently lives in China.... You are by far the most accurate and on point channel that truly grasps the reality of China
I don't know why women don't watch this channel. I love it.
?
Following Kevin to educate myself
🧏♀️
Happy Birthday, Mr. Walmsley!
Always a pleasure to listen to your insights.
Thank you Kevin. You've just explained why i watch your videos, concise, informative, to the point. If done right, I can also see the channel being an archive for those wanting to look back and study the phenomenon you just discussed.
I am a woman from the Philippines and i have very different views from most of my countrymen. My worldview has been partly influenced by watching all your videos.Thank you.
Get to know chinese people, history and culture. You will understand.
Blessed are the peacemakers. The angel declared, "Glory to God, peace & goodwill to man", from the Saviour. The object of man. Keep at it, be good. Kevin, you are a source of encouragement & truth. A voice in the vast wilderness of West media. Thank you.
Happy birthday Kevin 🎉
