China May Not Be As Strong As You Think
George Friedman, the founder of Geopolitical Futures, explains where China's real wealth resides, how its natural military buffer helps and hinders it, and why the country should not be concerned with islands in the South China Sea.

@@longxiao9823 They surely can theoretically invade through these landscapes, but it would be ridiculously expensive. Especially the Himalayas. Chinese dominance over the South China sea is very unlikely, since Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia and to a less degree the Philippines are all allies of the US. A blockade also may be possible without war - during Cuban crisis US navy has successfully stopped Soviet ships that were carrying nuclear missiles, why can't they stop Chinese trading vessels in case of a crisis of some sort? Because if direct military conflict will break out between US and China nukes will be fired, and then we're all fucked. And Russia can't possibly be an ally of China that they can count on. Their interests are just partly overlapping right now because of their mutual rivalry with the US. Each of the three would be more than happy to play other two against each other while abstaining from participation. There's another video of similar contents but of much higher quality from Wendover Productions - "China's geography problem".
The comments section in for this video is ridiculous. Nevertheless, most of what he said was fine. The only real error is that the cost of living is quite a bit lower in China, so even though they only make 2-4 USD, people can easily live off of that and have pretty happy lives.

Are you saying that the way Chinese people desire to live is inadequate or that they do not have access to higher quality infrastructure. If you are saying the former, than I would recommend caution. If you are stating the latter, which I assume you are, you would be very correct in some places and wrong in others. Many Chinese have learned how to survive and live happily independently from the national/international market place. From my experience, however, this is becoming more difficult since the cities are expanding quite rapidly. In response to purchasing power, a country can have a high quality of life but use a currency with low purchasing power. That phenomenon only become apparent when trading or traveling internationally.

I'm not Chinese but what a bullshit analysis, here is why: 1.) 90% of the population is Han Chinese, Manchuria & Inner Mongolia are happily a part of China. Tibet & Xinjiang are integrated with China and only have successionist movements because of heavy outside interference. There is no ethnic problem in China, which can't be easily handled. 2.) The "rainfall line" is within the arable and agriculturally productive part of China where 85% of the population lives. China neverthless is still building canals, forests to improve agriculture in Inner Mongolia and the West. 3.) The interior is still poor, that is correct but not as poor as this video suggests, thanks to remittances from the Coast, subsidies, and relocation of industries to the interior to exploit cheaper land and labour. 4.) China is building the OBOR to reduce the importance of relying on the South China Sea and using rail and road connections through Myanmar, Pakistan and Kazakhstan/Russia.

Why is this a ''bulshit'' analysis? for 1) He never question that 90% of the population are or not Han Chinese. He just stated that those provinces in the west are not really that important (meaning that they do not define what China is or reflect how China is presented in the media). And generally your argument num 1 really proves that as yourself have confirm that those areas are sparsely populated thus not making a big impact although they are geographically large in size. Also no ethnic problem was highlighted in the vid. for 2) the rainfall line was used to show in the east part the areas is more prosperous in terms of agriculture thus more people living on the east side and it was a way to show that the east part of china is the most important, powerful and prosperous and not the whole China we see on the map for 3) GDP per capita in China is indeed NOT as high as other countries with powerful economies. This is a true fact and this is what the video stated. Also another fact is that prices of houses as you go from east (coast) to west are significantly decreasing thus showing the relative importance of those areas. for 4) the Belt and Road Initiative you are talking about considers South China sea as a very important aspect of the idea. I mean south China sea is OBOR to be honest. A country that has an export led growth mentality needs to be able to trade it's products via the really important shipping routes. China has access to those shipping routes ONLY though the South China sea it is really important that she controls the South China sea. I'm not gonna discuss the oil and gas reserves located in the same sea (another point why it's important). And that's why they are spending resources on building man made islands. They wouldn't build any man made island in the first place if it was not important and armed them with expensive military equipment. Overall the video wanted to point out that China's trade can easily being disturbed any time if USA wanted (by having the most powerful navy and air-force in the world) Thus China is not as powerful as people think. Not a great superpower. At least for now. So i don't really agree with your idea of ''bullshit'' video or your assumption of posting such vids to make people prefer investing in USA instead of China. He just stated some true facts and the consequences of those facts. Sorry for the long reply but i have seen that many people agreed (49 likes??) with your perspective of saying this video is worthless which is not really the case.

When you have 8% GDP growth per year, you don't _need_ to be a military threat to anyone, as long as you maintain good diplomatic relations and have a military just strong enough to deter invasions. Power projection can be useful to eradicate piracy if you are a trading power, but the US is already doing that and the trading routes are fairly safe. China is just following the optimal strategy for a country in its position: just focus on economic growth and international influence will naturally follow from that.

That's a bit of a false equivalency. Every society in history has had the majority of its wealth focused around waterways, be they coastlines or rivers. But the difference between America and China is that the disparity between living standards between the coasts and the interior in America is not as sharp as it is in China. This video was pointing that out in order to help press the point that what you see in the nice parts of Shanghai is not what you see in the majority of China. America of course has the same thing, but America has fewer people living in abject poverty than China does. (Obviously China is improving the life of those people...but the fact is, right now, millions of Chinese live very different lives than those on the coasts)

There are two thi gs this video got wrong: 1. Carriers aren't invincible 2. China has its own Carriers. Also: its a dictatorship and whoever has seen rules for rulers knows that a high gdp per capita is bad for a dictatorship. A dictatorship is pretty much defined by its capital and its coastal cities, they normally only have good infrastructure to connect their ressources to the ports and their palace to the airport. China is a rich dictatorship which makes it a very stable country. #RULESFORRULERS

A high GDP growth is a sign of the country being unstable. You do not simply create wealth out of nothing. If it looks, smells and sounds like a economic miracle then it is likely a bubble. Just because china builds a bunch of useless infrastructure and housing projects doesn't make it wealthy. It is simply just digging a hole and then filling the hole with concrete and saying "Hey look how productive we are". The problem with the modern economy is that it appears to believe that by just being a sassy economist you can create wealth out of nothing. When China can't take enough loans to make construction market go around they will be left with a bunch of industries that are planning on leaving China and a bunch of ghost cities.

That was so concise. That happens when you really know a subject.
The term "Third World" arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Communist Bloc. The United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Western European nations and their allies represented the First World, while the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and their allies represented the Second World.

Tibet is already a part of china. And china has iron fist command over all the states you mentioned. The west cannot believe that there can be people speakong different language, and different ethnicity in different part of the country and still be a part of one larger entity. Just like they predicted disintegration of India within 20 yrs of independence. Little do they know older culutres are often devoid of their bullshit ideas about 'one religion one language one people'. China like India has existed as a single unity since the time when the western world was nothing near civilised. India is called as "Bharat" in south Asia. The name which this entire country was known as long before christ. The west tried to force feed the idea to Indians that India was just a collection of separate empires untill british came. A little research into India unravels all their myths AND history MANUFACTURED by their ' academics' and 'scientific community'. Another such thing was the Aryan Race theory. Even the propunder of the term Aryan Race, never believed in such. And it meant something entirely different. The fact was no body ever moved from central asia. India was India, china was china and central Asia was central asia, with trade connections. Nothing else. The European aryan races were just hordes of murders and barabrians who existed there, and brought down the roman empire.

This isn't accurate but, I understand why you would think this way. China is a region not a country. There is no flag of 'China' its the PRC that has a flag. Also even the word China refers to the place that was ruled by the last dynasty which was thrown away with the revolution. The Chinese region could easily call its self the "UPC' United Provinces of China in the same way the U.S.A does or that the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R) did. Europe is a region not a country, The E.U. is literally a union of different countries that speak different languages but think of themselves as European and work together. You must know this. Inside some of those European countries there are places that consider themselves different from the state because of the difference in culture, language and economy, and they have some arguments about their future like with Spain and Catalonia. Tibet or Xin Jiang have their own history before becoming part of the old Imperial China and could easily have similar complaints and want to separate from China but, China will want to use force to maintain the Union. However, the states in the E.U. can leave without violence like with Brexit. This is already too long and you may not like how this may conflict with your Chinese nationalist view but, even the United States of America is a literally a union of states with different ethnic groups and different cultures. Every state in the U.S has its own culture and identity (and flags) which causes many arguments. Texas, New Mexico, California, and Louisiana were part of other countries and have people that speak a different language. The government of nearly every state in America is older than the government of the PRC so the regions have had time to form their own identities. Better examples however, are Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, The U.S Virgin Islands and Native American reservations which are part of the U.S but have strong original cultural identities.

I agree with his opinion that China won't become a true world superpower like the USA. China is an isolated country that can only access the ocean by the east side, and even that side has been "locked-up" by US Navy and other nearby powerful countries competing for international power. The western part of China has harsh climate and is not ideal for any meaningful developments. Other big countries, such as Russia (too cold, lack of infrastructure and lack of seaports), Canada (too cold, lack of seaports and lack of manpower) and Australia (too dry, too isolated and lack of manpower) etc. all have their problems, although Australia as a giant island continent has great access to the ocean. In my opinion, only Brazil, India and a unified United States of Europe (USE) can ultimately challenge the USA for global domination in a Big Four world. What I don't agree with his opinion is that there are no four buffer states in China, Inner Mongolia and Manchuria have been fully integrated into China Proper. Xinjiang and Tibet are the only places in Mainland China that have serious secession movements with Tibet gaining more support from the Western World.
