Hi Timothy! Very good video, very good job you have done. There are many videos out there covering the Boxer uprising, but it is always interesting to get new angles on the subject. Judging from the comments it still, more than 120 years later, stir up emotions. Something people of the present day often forget is that they see days gone by in the light of today and all that we know today. Before we judge, condem, denounce and label (as terrorists) people and movements in history we should try to see them in the light of that day, that era and thier circumstances at that time. Thimothy, thanks for yet another good video without judgements. Best regards, Per
Thank you so much! Yes, often, in playing the role of messenger, you get "shot". Often, we are simply reporting what we research, we are not forming judgements. As far as possible, I try to report the past factually, without taking sides.
The latest one is Falungong lead by Li HongZhi. He told his followers not to seek medical help but to meditate when sick but he himself did the opposite.
I think it is quite biased on your part to narrate that the support the Qing government gave to the boxers who struggled was "wrong" when this was done in fact as patriotic support towards the rebelling boxers (sad that they chose violence) then. Many well-known martial arts masters lost their lives in that cause. Talk about the foreigners who have been "invading" the nation through their "trades" like opium which is "desecrating the Chinese minds through drug addiction" in the name of modern advancement. With 8 nations against One, it is no wonder the United Kingdom "claims control" of Hong Kong, the French "controls" Macau, etc.
On the other hand, I agree with you. I further read what you mentioned about invading foreigners, and again I agree. But the Boxer rebels were also murdering Christian missionaries and Christian converts, that too I reported.
About the impact, "The Boxer Phenomena" still exist today in Mainland China, and those who are politically and nationalistically sympathizing to Mainland China. Today, the modern "boxers" (figuratively) are called Zhan4 Lang2 (战狼 warring wolves) or Xiao3 Fen3 Hong2 (小粉红 little pinkies), who blindly support whatever PRC do and take hostile view on non-Chinese, especially the West and Japan on unfounded basis. Examples, they always have hatred of Japan due to past aggression. Recent case of China-flag incident also see bipolar reactions among Malaysian Chinese where one side denouncing it unpatriotic, while the other side, which i will call modern "boxers" say it is fine. (this was before the case turn out the flag-bearers were China nationals)
@@limk8994 if u dun agree my opinion just go away. Learn some manners, dun be like your "boxer ancestor". Guys u can see these "modern boxers", nowadays they r merely able to verbally attack me. Imagine during the real boxer rebellion, they would have used violence. This is what I call "modern boxers phenomena".
@@limk8994 if u r not satisfied with ytube for "protecting it's pupil", just go away. U can use Weibo or Xiaohongshu. This is also a characteristic of "modern boxers", while having hatred for anything of the West, they still like to use it grudgingly
Maybe you should open your eyes and see that a lot of these names such as wolf warriors, etc, are coined by the west to discredit China. It is time for you to be objective and not blindly support whatever West and Japan do, and take hostile view on China.
It is better for you to be objective and not be blindly supporting the west and Japan. Can't believe you fall for this name calling such as wolf warrior.
these people are brainwashed. Everything is blamed on the Chinese government. The death due to gen (o) cide by UK, Japanese and the droughts, they are all blamed on the Chinese government. Such shallow thinking.
The Boxer Rebellion was merely terrorist acts committed by those in the Northern China (Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Peking) based on racial hatred. The victims were mostly Chinese who the boxers judged to be pro-western. It was very cruel and comparable to Nanking Massacre. Shandong governor Yuen Shi-Kai ban all boxers activities, and allied with all the southern provinces to be non-participating, and negotiated good terms with Western powers beforehand. So that the west will attack north China only in retaliation and spare non-participating southern provinces. Many Chinese in China and Malaysia, due to blind nationalism and racism, blame the rebellion on the West and said the subsequent invasion of eight powers was a aggression, a national shame. But who started the terrorist act on innocent people. It is similar to various terrorist attacks nowadays.
Yes, blame it all on the Chinese. Maybe you should ask yourself. What are those the 8 nations doing in China? Are they trading fairly or are they stealing? The Boxer Rebellion movement came about due to what the invading nations did to the country. It is a reaction, not the cause.

It will be interesting if Mr. Timothy can highlight the history of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's visit to Malaya, especially Penang island.
I will consider doing it in a video one day.
@@learnpenanghokkienPlease include whether the house in Taiping, Perak belonged to Dr Sun's wife in Malaya. TQ

My advise to you is, study history, think deeper and be more open minded.
Such shallow analysis is very misleading,
