Can't you see how well China protects its people during the pandemic? Can't you understand how great effort China has been made to develop its country and people's living standard in passing years with the huge costs? As far as genocide, it is a pure lie and fictitious allegation!!! I am an ordinary Chinese and I also blame the government from time to time when I was unhappy with something. But I have zero tolerance for lies, no matter who made it. If genocide was a true fact, there should already be a flood of refugee flood to everywhere from China to other countries. There would be tons of videos or photos appearing on the internet. However, so far, such things haven't come! Pls think with an open mind and critical thinking!

      Apart from that, they filmed the wrong place. The poem is talking about Yang Guan, or Yang Gate, while they filmed Yumen Guan, or Jade Gate. They are actually not far apart from each other, probably 60km away, connected by high-quality paved road. However, it is true that Yang Guan doesn't have much left. The last time I visit, it was pretty much a dune. There are ample amounts of poems about Yumen Guan, or Jade Gate as well. I guess they were just too illiterate to know which one fits their malicious narrative.

China has helped debt nations with leaner terms so they could pay back. Many advanced nations from the US and India refused to invest in them because there is little chance of being profitable. China however saw the investment as a long-term strategy. Even now The US and the West learned to begin to invest in the same way that China did decades ago. The West uses IMF which shows no sign of long-term interest in any investment and likes to interfere with local government from politics to economics to ensure they get something back. China, being a govt can take a long-term view. The Western media in the West doesn't like to applaud Chinese progress for they are jealous of its success without their help and want to prevent their continuous independence. They want to control the world. How dare China breaks their hold. :) Major Infrastructure is important to any society, so it is empty now, but when the worldwide economy gets better, Sri Lanka is ready to receive tourists again. It is not just in underdeveloped countries but in developed countries as well.

    What a propaganda piece against the One Belt One Road (OBOR) and China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). I can only talk about the CPEC part as that is what I personally know about. But start to finish that whole section was BS. The locals are more than happy that the highways China built for CPEC will bring thousands more tourists to their areas, which creates wealth for the locals. No one stops westerners from filming on the khunjrab pass. Anyone can visit the Khunjrab Pass and film there, UA-cam is filled with their videos (including westerners). The highway up to the Khunjrab pass is excellent! the landslide they were showing was not a regular landlisde but a massive earthquake that happened in 2005 which created the Attabad lake, and this earthquake happened before the CPEC route to Khunjrab Pass was made.
    The reason he doesn't see a lot of trade activity on the route is because the whole CPEC trade route is under construction, including routes going through the Punjab and Baluchistan, along-with new train lines to transport cargo. The related industry that is to be set up is in the implementation phases. He talks as if the trade route is complete yet no one is using it. These CPEC routes are making the most inaccessible parts of Pakistan accessible not just to tourists but traders year round. Most of Pakistan's indebtedness is to western lenders, not Chinese. Time for the western world to stop with its BS and let other countries prosper.

Try living in China amongst locals in different cities for years and maybe then just maybe you can form a fair opinion, assessment, or generalization of Chinese.

    Dunhuang is a very interesting place. I've been there twice and really enjoyed it. The secret is to avoid the massive crowds who hang around the dunes at the entrance to that park, and just enter for free a few hundred metres either side of the gate. If you veer to the right of the gate you'll find yourself in a graveyard with very interesting tombs, and you can walk around there for hours looking.... I recommend an overnight trip to the desert where you will see stars like you'll never see anywhere else in China. Sitting under the night sky by a fire is really an awesome experience, and there will be nobody around (most of the Chinese tourists won't even consider this option). The best part is you see the dunes in all their splendour.....

    The Jade market part is also not making sense. If you think the price is too low, you don't sell to that buyer. If nobody is offering a better price? Then your stone is not worth more at the current circumstances. This is just how the market economy works. BTW don't you see the irony here that China, the one that's been accused by many western countries of not being a market economy, is being criticized by a market economy country's public TV station for doing business in the market way.

      Its because of the western world and it's profound influences in every corner of the world through the spread of it's globalization that the rest of the world through it's tremendous influences are becoming developed. So really, you can talk about a period of colonialism, but remember the days 100 years ago when Asia was one big massive undeveloped, uncivilized shithole with bamboo huts and wooden houses. It's because of the western civilization that this all changed.
      Now China has 1.4 billion people and all the knowledge gotten from countries like Germany which extensively spread knowledge to China, it is now trying in the regard it performs best in, in the speed of everything as once technology is learned, one can use it in a country of 10 million or 1.4 billion, it simply goes much faster in a country of 1.4 billion people.
      But mark my words, China is a FAR worse civilization to work with. Ultimately!
      Because this is a new thing, you already see the many issues with depending yourself on China. Many countries already suffer under China, even though it's still in an early phase. I think it will get worse down the road. And the fact that you don't know that peoples like the Uighur people in China are being wiped out in the most filthy ways. Women get stuff injected so that they dont menstruate, and they are all in punishment camps/prison. But towards the world China is sending out video's of how great everything is for the people and so on. Pure propaganda while they're wiping out this population. It's pathetic.

    This video brought me up with a question: is the modernization process good or bad? Not everyone will benefit from this process, and an ideal transition is that people get skill and financial aid from governments with this change (which is unlikely in poor countries). However, this is not the reason to leave them in backwardness - they ought to have their own convenient life no less than people in western countries, not by charity but by their own hands.
    Apart from this, in this documentary I cannot see any topic with pros but only cons well documented, as if modernization is bad for local people. It does not seem like an unbiased documentary IMO.

      Yeah and apparently countries have a new view of China. It has went down, obviously. Having a nice reputation is a good way to become the top economic power. As you can tell China wants to be the strongest power, but that means passing the US.
      And the US has a lot of soft power. American songs, American movies, and American food. (Mostly fast food restaurants around the world.)
      You don’t see Chinese songs, movies, and food (food is debatable.) around the world or/as popular.

    Where Highest-Spending Tourists Come From
    The nationality of tourists also seems to be a factor in these total expenditures. Chinese tourists spent $277 billion internationally in 2018, likely thanks to the increasing consumption of an emerging, affluent middle class.

    I was to be here to see a non-biased documentation. But in the end, I was still so naive. In this episode, it is filled with the negativity of China-based initiative.
    There is no positive thing at all.
    The western always say that the China`s opening up back in 70s benifited the Chinese a lot, it brought prosperity and massive wealth to Chinese.
    And westerners played an quite important role in this process, sounds like the angel in the bible. But westerner never mentioned that they also
    brought something quite negative to the Chinese, such as AIDS, greed, inequality, impact to our traditional culture. They never mentioned that.
    They choose to be blind to these kind of issues.
    And when China does the same thing, suddenly their eye disease are gone, they can see the negative things accompanying the great change again.
    Democracy, fairness, equality, what a joke!

    I see, it is so easy to criticize China, yet western countries are just not willing to lift a finger to make these countries better places, especially for the locals. Changes are really hard for people, that's true for most people. But it's good for the developing countries and we'd better see that in a positive way and adapt. Without the courage to move forward, these countries will decouple with the economy of the rest of the world and even totally be forgotten some day. Yes, in the document's opinion, these "peace and quiet" small counties' should keep its way or maybe just serve as a backyard for the western tourists. But, is this fair to "be pretty" for the developed countries while giving up locals' own right to develop?

They blame us for being more well-off. They blame us for paying bribes to get anything involving officials done when in reality we were the ones being extorted. And the only reason jade will ever be considered a national treasure is because there are Chinese who are willing to spend a shit ton of money on it. Without the Chinese, the jades are just worthless stones.
    The Myitsone Dam problem should be blamed on the military regime. It was that money-hungry military that signed the project with the Chinese with absolutely no regards to local population. The Chinese were just conveniently used as scapegoat after they got their fair share of money.

Pakistanis love the Chinese and the opposite also holds true, I can't speak for other countries but China-Pakistan relations have never been better and continue to prosper. No one is scared of losing their 'way of life' or all that bullcrap.
    I REALLY expected better from DW. Disappointing!

      Well. What can we do. Maybe one day when your country is in a better shape, you can show this video to the new kids and tell them that's how the west do their divide and conquer.
      Developing Gwadar was a huge risk, imho. So the moment I saw it was Gwadar and not somewhere near Karachi, I said to myself, man these two countries really trust each other.
      But thankfully China understands if they want their western region to be better they need to get Pakistan richer and safer as well. Regretably many in India dont see it this way.

You would rather continue to see the subjugation of 2 billion non white people in Asia than anything else. Yes all countries do bad things but your comments need balance.

    Thanks for such an interesting and informative documentary. It is glad to see how technology and prosperity had reached Chinese society but countries around them are insecure about its independence, freedom as one own country can maintain and support tradition, believe, religion that define the identity of each nation.
