China: We built a great wall 2000 years ago, now we build highways, bridges, tunnels and towers
USA: We built highways, bridges, tunnels and towers 100 years ago, now we build a great wall
Syntox so funny 😄
nice commnet...cant help laughing.
omg this is so true！
Syntox We need that wall to keep the basket of deplorables out. Smell nuts
Time for a construction deal with China!
I applause you for doing such an unbiased video about China, this is how real world works, there are upsides and downsides in everything, Chinese government got a lots problems but they also got positive aspects that should be debated and studied, that's how society improves itself, the mainstream media's demonization angle completely destroyed the possibility of any intelligent conversation.
Hey, Tony! You totally could build some of those megaprojects too.
Or commercial iron-suit travel.
I like the word "unbiased"
You hit the point.
It is totally biased
China is playing Civilization 6, while US is playing Call of Duty...
America is going for military victory :)
US is too divided to accomplish any good for the world going forward
That's right, USA spends trillions of dollars a year on military and owes China trillions of dollars on war.
sherlock tang hey American here your first claim isn’t true although our budget for military is very high too high in my opinion it isn’t in the trillions the budget for military in 2019 is 689 billion

Chinese people are really efficient. If not China a communist country they would already surpass US for sure.
This is what I like about China: It's an ambitious country and it's not afraid of undertaking colossal endeavors. I'm not Chinese, but for some reason, their tremendous levels of ambition give me goosebumps, and frankly, make me proud to be human again. We need more countries that are willing to take such risks for the sake of moving humanity forward if we are to reinvigorate a sense of purpose and pride within our species. Somewhere throughout the middle of the 20th century, "we" (mainly the West) lost our way and started focusing on celebrities, fleeting pleasures, and vapid entertainment rather than inspiring acts of human bravery and ingenuity. We need a sense of purpose if we are to get out from the moral rut we're in now. At least, that's how I feel.
+Siamand Omar The biggest problem in many "westernized" countries is that most citizens have already settled into a comfortable situation, even in cases they shouldn't be, they are distracted by fundamentally unimportant things. Most of those countries it's the lowest common denominator which dictates the culture. The top 1-2% essentially lives a separate & segregated lifestyle. They are the invisible hand, a much more sophisticated invisible hand.
+Siamand Omar thanks your appreciate.welcome to China,if u want. To feel different eastern culture which one existed five thousand years.however ,China still the most developing country in this century.There are many deficiencies.we need change and reform to become better.:-D
I am living in a western European country, and I should say, the state incompetence is amazing. I cannot believe what the Chinese state is able to do.
Siamand Omar one simple reason. China had endured through the 20th century--- the Century of Humiliation for China. It is that past humiliation that pushes the Chinese to strive their best to reverse this humiliation and discrimination from the past century. They want to prove that they are no longer the Asia's sick man anymore. They will ensure no one will ever look down on them anymore. This century will be the Century of Tremendous Rise for China.
Siamand Omar "They want to move humanity forward" yeah, the best way is to nuke humanity huh?
It's exciting to see China's development. Millions of people will get out of poverty.
+Akin Khoo give up that dream. Even the most harsh areas on earth devoid of life are far, far, more hospitable than any of our neighboring planets. . which do not even have oxygen.

Good job for China. Instead building weapons, we should use resources to enhance our livings. China just did that by lifting the entire middle class to a better level. Thumb up.
GOOD ONE TOM. HOW QUICKLY YOU FORGET THAT THE LARGEST MILITARY IS CHINESE ARMY. THE LARGEST INVADER AND OCCUPIER IN THE LAST TEN YEARS IS CHINA. TAKING LAND FROM NEIGHBOUR COUNTRIES. EVEN STEALING OCEAN BOUNDARY FROM PHILIPPINES. CONTROLLING YOUR MASSES BY PLAYING COMMUNIST BUT AS SOON AS HONG KONG HAD RETURNED AFTER ITS LEAST YOU QUICKLY SAW MONEY. YOUR FUTURE PLANS SEEM TO INVOLVE OTHER COUNTRIES IN SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR BUILDING YOUR NEW CITIES ON THE LITTLE FARMING LAND YOU HAVE LEFT. YOUR PLANS ARE TO FARM AND PLAN OTHERS COUNTRIES.
@@constantineb6433 What an innocent comment... They not only ARE building weapons, they are building ships, planes, seizing land and are preparing for military aggression. Today, they are the second military power in the world and the first fleet. All information there is strictly controlled and it is shown as this is to defend against foreign aggressors... Who? Devil American and Japanese, of couuuuurse!!!! Excatly the ones who poured billions of $ into China economy to lift them our of poverty and got their technology stolen as well as their entry into the China market blocked. Very smart and admirable. We ALL love that China.
@@Yalishenderful Yes my comment could have been more aggressive however China's stability is not really long lasting. They have shot themselves in the foot. Western investment is for quick profit as a plan. Chinese investment is planned for the next 500years. They have become like Japan unable to self sustain it's self or feed themselves. By being cheaper labour corporations closed and chose to manufacture In China. China's economy relies on Western customers. If you take the money from your customers then eventually economy slows down. China's plan is to create a marine silk road to Australia as they are educated on the fact that the continent of Australia holds more natural resources than any other continent and is very much untapped. Modern China was built on these resources. Second and largest mistake that China has made is assumption. Example of this is there largest water dam project which failed. At present from latest data China's annual rainfall can only supply 19% of there population. They are not as strong as we all think. However no matter what they plan in other countries is never ever a sure thing when that countries government can change laws to suit it's interest even if the land has been purchased by China.
Just like what Napoleon said: China is a sleeping giant, but once wakes up, its gonna shake the world.
And Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) also said, " To advance one's knowledge, one must go to China ".
"China is a sleeping giant, let her sleep; once she wakes, she will shake the world"
also the quote might or might not be from Napoleon
LOL
+Napoleon Bonaparte
If it was, then it would likely be dependent on the fact that he had studied translations of The Art of War. Leibniz, for example, had considered the binary representation of the Chinese as translated by a missionary so it wouldn't be too surprising that some people may have access to some Chinese classics as the Qing decayed and rot due to dynastic transitions.
denghua123, China woke up since several years, the US regime thinks they can control China . . . Noboby will do that anymore. . . .
China managed to build all that in 10 years, Italy in 20 didn't manage to connect Milan and Venice, across less than 300km of completely flat land... sigh.
Over the past week, ending November 23, global stock indices showed a negative trend. The focus of investors was the political situation in the European…e-fin.top
Yeah but the ego of a Chinese leader is beyond belief. In Europe, a leader like the Italian republic power is check by powerful families, voted council members and different bodies to distribute the power.
During 514, a Liang emperor order a dam built. This was intended to create a reservoir up stream that would drown the unassailable fortification of Shouyang to regain the stronghold from the Northern Wei.
Of course his engineers were shocked and pleaded with him not to give them the assignment. As the Huai River had a very silty riverbed, and was prone to shifting. It was a disaster in the making that could not only fail to drown their enemies but instead unleash that terror of water on their citizens on the plain down stream.
The work took 2 years. A wooden dam was built measuring 4 and a half kilometres long (sorry forgot the dimensions), except that it was roughly 70% of the reservoir of the Hoover dam and required constant maintenance and supervision. The entire army camp was based off the wooden dam wall top itself.
Winter came, the huai river level rose greatly and the dam broke. More than 100,000 people died and the entire army camp of soldiers on top of the dam wall was killed... That's enough to put anyone in big waters. Not finished yet... Not only did this emperor not get overthrown, he will repeat this strategy again later in his life, but this time succeed.
@@qus.9617 Sir, any sources for this ?
@@ananthaswath5543 You can get the exact dimensional details if you have a copy for the zizhi tongjian.
You could also check out the the history of china podcast in-which the podcaster had converted the Chinese measurements to American imperial system and metric in order to calculate roughly the volume of water held in respect to the Hoover dam in America
Otherwise, as taken from wikipedia:
Starting in 514, Emperor Wu started carrying out a major construction project, downstream from Shouyang on the Huai River-a major dam that was intended to create a reservoir to flood Shouyang to allow Liang to capture the city. He started the project despite opposition from his engineers (who believed that the Huai River contained too much dirt in its water for a dam of the size necessary to be built). Despite engineering difficulties, however, the dam was successfully built by the general Kang Xuan (康絢) -- albeit at a major loss of life among the workers, due to the amount of work necessary and the diseases that occurred among them. (Zizhi Tongjian described the casualty rate to be at 70% to 80%.) Northern Wei's regent Empress Dowager Hu (who became regent over Emperor Xiaoming after Emperor Xuanwu's death in 515) sent armies commanded by Li Ping (李平) to attack Kang's escort forces, but could not damage the dam, which was finally completed in summer 516. it was described to be four and a half kilometers long, and the army pitched camp on the dam itself. Kang skillfully maintained the dam, and Shouyang began to be flooded. However, Emperor Wu recalled Kang to the capital and put the general Zhang Baozi (張豹子) in charge of the dam. Zhang, far less skillful and attentive than Kang, did not maintain the dam. With Huai River's water level greatly rising in winter 516, the dam collapsed, leading to more than 100,000 deaths downstream, and Shouyang was saved...
... Shouyang fell to Liang troops after Emperor Wu successfully reemployed the damming strategy. For the next several years, Liang continued to make minor gains on the borders with Northern Wei.

Amazing video. Many thanks. After reading some of the comments, have something to say.
Western world, led by the US, always blames China for no reason, for every reason. They mock everything in China, criticize everything. For example, human right, every year the US goverment publish a report just to criticize China. But why don't you take the history factor into concern? Not every country is as rich as America, and they need time to change. For my dad, he is the only person among his 6 siblings and 30 cousins who finished high school. Actually, most people at that time dropped middle school because they need to work for food. For me, I was born in a small city in Liaoning Province in 1992. Frankly, that time was hard and poor, my parents, even though they are both engineers, didn't earn enough money for us to buy what we need for daily usage. Groceries like meat, seafood, eggs, dairy, bakery and ice cream were so expensive that we only bought some during the holiday. The only source of protein was beans. In 1998, they saved half a year's salary and bought a desktop. In 2001, they saved 4 years and bought a new 2B1B condo. But since 2002, I can easily felt our life was changed, they could earn more, life was much better, I can drink milk every day. Before 2002, they only earn less than 1k RMB monthly, and now as of 2018, this number become 20k(of course CPI matters a little bit). And from 2014, thanks to my parents they could support me to study overseas, 100K US dollars, without a loan, without a scholarship. When the US blame China, please imagine if US was in the same scenario , what would US do? The major problem of China during that time is not what they said the right of election, but feeding people and distinguish starve.
I was told America was haven before my life in America, but during these years living here, I don't think so. Guns, drugs, race, hate to Islam, tax, illegal immigration, terrible Trump and fake Clinton. I will not say American is terrible, just like every individual is different, its normal that each country has its own problem. But when judging others, please put yourself into others' shoes. One day you meet a beggar begging for bread. He almost dies. And you, a mid-class, or anybody who don't know what a beggar's life is, ask him: you wanna feed you with bread? Why don't you do something to feed your spirit first? The same reason, understanding and respect. There isn't a best way and political system around the world. All of the countries just choose the most suitable one for them.

完全同意！虚伪的美国老是指责中国的人权，它的一些盟友才是真正的没人权
I have been to China, and watched some documentaries about how much it changed in last decades, and for me it makes me think about my country. I'm coming from Poland, 20-30 years ago it was poor country, but by that time it changed a lot, we also still have many economic problems but the change we go through is significant. I totally agree with you that America should think what would they do if they start from the level of China in so short time, or like my country. I have been to Canada too and can't say it's heaven, defenitely it's not so good country as people say or as it was decades ago.
With China moving up the ladder of power. My country may simply fear being displaced from the number one spot. I've been to China before and so have my friends, and it is much better than people described. To my dad, who has also been to China was enthusiastic with my trip citing that people in China are really nice, but my mom was a bit concerned and told me about the government there beign repressive.
Chinese people be proud, be very proud - much love from Iraq.

How chinese people use youTube in china???
If you think about how quickly China developed from an agrarian rural 'backwater' in 1945 - that had recently been economically exploited by the UK, Germany and USA on an epic scale and pounded by Japan in WW2 - to one of the the world's leading countries today it makes your head spin. It really is incredible.There are 341 cities in China with a population greater than 1 million. How many can you name? Exactly. The media coverage of China is minimal and though it has improved a bit, there is no emphasis on how quickly China is doing what in the west took hundreds of years. It is comical how the Economist, Financial Times, Time magazine and other western stealth propaganda purveyors used to run stories about "China's upcoming crash" or "China Economy to Implode by 2013". But of course. Just like in 1997 the headlines were all about how Hong Kong was going to become a totalitarian hellhole where nobody wanted to live. But of course.
China also killed the lie that a centrally planned economy can never be flexible enough to keep up with consumer demand and supply the market with a wide variety of stuff people actually want to buy. While China is capitalist it is still run like a socialist country and the CPC is still officially dedicated to actualizing Communism. Whether that happens remains to be seen but it would be a delicious irony if China in 50-100 years actually pulled off a successful transition to Communism as envisioned by Marx and Engels. What most people do not know is that Marx was a great admirer of western capitalism which, during its heyday, was the most advanced and efficient economic system ever devised and lifted millions out of poverty and destitution. Marx thought capitalism would eventually fall apart due to its internal contradictions and communism would be its successor. The Soviet Union failed in part because it tried to skip the capitalist step and force a communist system out of the ruins of Czarist feudalism. That did not work out to well and it is a mistake that China did not make. And western capitalism, since it became 'financialized', is in a serious bind it can't easily get out of. While Chinese and BRIC capitalism is still lifting people out of poverty this trend has stalled and even reversed itself in the west where the middle class is being kicked down into the working class and the super wealthy elites are hoarding their profits and starving governments of much needed tax revenue.Western political parties foolishly agreed to give the capitalist class more power over the economy and have lost the ability to procure revenue for public services and infrastructure upkeep. Hence the endless austerity and the internal tensions in Europe and the USA as citizens lose access to secure good paying jobs and wages plummet as the cost of living rises. This also gave rise to right-wing populism and Trump and Brexit in the UK. The elite and government leaders however seem to have no clue to resolve this crisis.
China must be watching with some amusement as its rivals hasten their own demise. And I just wrote a long comment on a year old YT video that nobody is going to read. Except you, dear reader, and for this I thank you ;-)
basstrip73 Great insight
Great insight, agreed on majority of the comments except one: the former soviet union didnt work out not only because of the skip of the capitalism, but also many other reasons. One of the reasons was the “shock therapy” which was sold by U.S. and adopted by russia and many eastern European countries. They fully opened up their market to the world in one day without building up and strengthening their market and economy first. The vultures with capitals flooded in and grabbed huge benefits from it. China back then tried the “shock” for less than a month and stopped it after realizing that there were problems. Instead they took the slower and safer approach to achieve a free market one step at a time. The first step was to build up Shenzhen, which was a tiny fishing village back then, and opened it up as an experiment”. The policies that were proved to be working there would be slowly applied to the whole country, while any failures would be carefully studied.
Great insight! I am an Chinese engineer,and I am proud of what I am doing.
The longest comment that I ever read. Great vision!

China today is a pretty interesting and impressive country and government. We here in the USA might like to denigrate China as that "communist country" but it has two very impressive things going on for it - namely an benevolent and efficient project oriented government, and a lot of personal and entrepreneurial freedom for the Chinese people. I posture that their "system" just might be better than ours - especially compared with our war mongering, wasteful, can't agree on anything, lobbyist-dominated government.
No perfect "system",only suitable “system”，The most important thing is to choose a system suited to national conditions 、 times、people、religion 。。。。
@@user-ep3ws6vr4r agreed, and the key term is "times".
Economic systems gain and lose validity as technology moves forward.
Simply put capitalism cannot adapt to post-scarcity levels of production, AI, global trade, environmental challenges, etc. China may have the initial piece of the puzzle : a system that's not profit oriented but works towards advancement.
However I believe that the final answer will be post monetary, post scarcity economics.
Production wise and technology wise we're already capable of doing this, the hard part is political will.
Communism welcomes you
China's system is not just an influence of communism. It's more about culture and history. I don't think other countries can match China just by using communism. In China, to become a government employee, you have to take a test, and only those with advanced education qualifications are eligible. Such a screening method enables people with higher quality to enter government institutions. There are other measures. I believe China can take better care of the Chinese people. If China can, it will take care of people all over the world.
America once was a great country. I lived there for a long time. But your basic education sucks and discrimination... even more alive and rampant now. Your police is out of control, killing more citizens than the worst dictatorship countries do and they do it openly and legally. Income inequality is out of the chart. Your military, government and Trump and how you treat the world... sigh... The whole country needs an overhaul.

In October 2015 I visited China for a very short period. I was very much impressed to see the economic development of the country . Cities I visited were neat and clean. Roads are very wide. Trains are superfast in true sense. No derth of comfortable accommodation as there are hundreds of star hotels. People are very friendly. You will enjoy your stay there. But the cities are replica of European and American cities. I would have loved to see more oriental flavour in the cities I visited.
Prasanta Datta try LiJiang, it's a beautiful old town.
Can't agree more. Even cities in Japan have more Chinese flavour. Need new sense of architecture in China
But best way to house the most people in a small space is to go with the current architecture... If you want to see more oriental flavors go to the countryside more rather than cities or just visit historic sites.
yes we feel the same

Communism is invented by Westerners. Nazism is invented by Westerners. WWI, WWII were started by Westerners. Demonizing Chinese when you're the demon to yourself.
you are so wise rich.
India and China were the two superpower and it's time to fight back let's put aside stupid disputes and help each other
hi cheng do you believe I should learn chinese as a French ?
Thank you for providing such an objective view on China as opposed to trying to attack every single thing that's going on like the majority of western media does.
Western media is controlled by Satanic elites and whoever they see as challenge they demonise them. That is why so much anti-Russia and anti-China bias in Western media. Also it is a fact that Christianity in America is very much part of that Satanic system and that is why atheists are often labelled as Communists because Communists are traditionally regarded as enemies of American 1%. So Western people and specially American people should boycott these evil corporates instead of backing them in the name of fake patriotism and nationalism and the world will hate them less.
As a Chinese Descendant I am proud what my Cousins have become. If only China is superpower 100 years ago my Great Grandfather would have not left CHINA. I am proud of you CHINA!
Why your grandfather left his root land? Why didn't he leave and fight ?
where do you live now
Welcome back for a visit. It is easier for overseas Chinese to apply for a long term visa nowadays
China had been the #1 superpower since Qin/Tang Dynasty until the 1900s when the foreign powers came all together and ripped it apart. Look it up.
China is already a superpower, be proud even if it wasn't, your country has amazing history
I hope China can get to be the first economy soon. Love from Brazil!
It is and. It has been

As an Irish man I find this absolutely fascinating as I come from a place full of green fields and small villages less than 100 people
The U.S. is still the greatest country in the world, according to Donald Trump... we have the Acela train between New York and Washington DC, which almost goes 60 MPH. Take that, China. We spend most of our money on silly wars, attacking the wrong country (Iraq), etc... so we go 60 MPH... and it's getting worse.

Cause and effect dude. Reap what you sow. The US is causing so much trouble everywhere. Playing the role of angel and devil at the same time. With regards to efforts in the middle east, we all know the US is only playing hero for oil.
As for 9/11, I am not surprised if the US govt orchestrated the entire thing.

@@konika865 because the government is EVIL. i care about the Chinese people! i support the people of China and want them to have prosperity but the government is oppressive and is brainwashing the populace, this will not end well for the Chinese people unless there is a complete revolution and overthrow of the Chinese Communist Party. Every day that goes by the Chinese government is gaining more control over its citizens. the people of china may already be past the point of no return unfortunately :/ i have some faith but the people of china seem to not care that there entire lives are being monitored and controlled by the Chinese government. they are complacent, its like walking the sheep to the slaughterhouse. it will not end well for the Chinese people unfortunately :(
China may have all these mega projects but the US has the Kardashian
Lol...your joke slays me..

China : .......
😂😂😂 +indian media 🤣
China does the same thing but they say west bad.
I really feel sorry for you folks, there are just too many like you from this comment section that chose to hate China as a way to blind fold yourself from seeing how bad you own country is compare to China. I don't see any sense of superiority from those hateful comments but instead, is just jealousy, despair and resentfulness. Keep up the China bashing and hopefully it help to suppress your severe depression.
@Rock Styler China actually is behind western powers...you want proof? Just think about the fact that western companies factories are in China and not otherwise...
I only wanna show big respect to those workers who building our country,sometimes contribute their life
If you want to know the real China, you'd better come to China in person, not through the media. Western media always like to report China with prejudice. And such a positive report of China's news is too little. My English is not very good, hope you can understand

ive seen in china they built super highways and great ,long bullet train network ...great work by chinese ...ive seen chinese are hard working people ,,,i want all my indians to work together for building good infrastructure in india too ....first infrastructure project in roadways was started by atalji after almost 50 years after independence ....hope india will construct good infrastructure ...roads and railways are the starting steps for development
I remember when I was a kid, there was a propaganda slogan all around the rural areas in China: want to be rich? Build roads!
India's worker are very hard working and they helped built Singapore 's road and its related infrastructure !! Thumbs up to India's worker !!
The Chinese people keep building their country, and the Chinese leaders work hard and smart, for their country. The US people work equally hard. However, I'm sorry to see that the US leaders are working for their own parties, if not for their own benefit. I wish they can work for the 99%, not just for the 1%.
Yes Iraq war also happened for the 1%.
Chinese government is EVIL! Their government is totalitarian they are putting religious Muslims into "re-education camps" to brainwash them cause Chinese government doesn't tolerate freedom on religion at all. They also have the new program called Social Credit System, soon all Chinese people will be under total control. everything will be monitored and recorded. you cant speak out against evil/wrongdoings by government or your score will get lowered as a citizen and wont be able to take the train/plane or travel or even buy a house!

Less talk more action = China
more talk blah blah less action = US
It’s because politically the US is divided and China is unified. Unified on the federal level in China, which isn’t really something to brag about because the masses don’t have the opportunity to voice their opinion, so no “blah blah blah”
@@DanielPennybaker People who don't have administrative experience to manage the country will make them extremely short-sighted in their opinion and decision-making.The best example is that American people whom from different states always care about their own benifit.So,they maybe won't see the long-term things of their state even the whole country(Just in my opinion).Chinese politicians are picked or voted by Chinese people and trained by the "system".So,the Chinese politicians also can represent people's voice.And Chinese politcal system have "常委" and "人民代表大会” ”政协“.Generally speaking,the "人民代表大会“ “政协” means all those politicians get togther and discuss about things like "what should we do?" "which project should be in the priority status?" "what should we do to balance between the people's interest and the nation's interest?".In a word,Chinese people also can voice their opinion.And it's much more efficient.
@@DanielPennybaker All the words i'm going to say is not aimed at you.But In another word, president Xi is also picked and voted by Chinese people and trained by the system.If you want to know,you can google president Xi about his political experience.He used to be the secretary of FuJian province.Even though he has some great power of the national decisions,it's totally different from "dictatorship" and ”emperorship".If that is "emperorship",what about American president?He is the top commander of the three army.He can start a war without people's voice.So,all the voice about Chinese president is Cruel or dictatorial is unreal,at least unfair.And the voice about chinese totalitarian government is also unfair.

The video is so well put together. I feel well informed about what's going on in China in terms of major infrastructure. What about the modern city made of vertical forests? Would like to see a video report on that. Thank you!
China have right to build more infrastructure for their population. Why so much negative comment from outside. USA/Germany/Japan/Spain/France/India etc also have railway accidents which killed many people. Why only pinpoint China
that statement is absurd. How can someone say that country shouldnt build better infractructure just because someone COULD accidentaly die. Stupid propaganda.
