Lucky you! That the Malaysian government still allows you to cling on to your Chinese identity, unlike in Indonesia and in many Southeast Asian countries where forced assimilation policy is enacted into law. In Indonesia, Chinese language, names and the celebration of CNY was banned from the 1960s till early to mid-2000s. That's why Chinese Indonesians who grew up during that period can't speak Chinese, don't have Chinese names, and don't celebrate CNY. It was unlawful to bring Chinese books, magazines or newspapers into Indonesia back then. Even though the government has lifted the ban, the new generations of Chinese Indons have lost their Chinese roots and identities forever. Because, how can they still be Chinese when their parents and grandparents themselves have lost it? How can rgey still be Chinese when, instead of Chinese, they speak Javanese at home? Chinese Malaysians are luckier, that you're not forced to give up your roots by your government.

I was in China in the 1970s. They were really poor at that time, especially in the countryside. To have an idea, google one of the poorest country in the world, Burundi for instance and look at the pictures, China was poorer than that in the 1970s. They elevated their country (which is as large as a continent) in less than 50 years. It is a miracle. Why do we despise them? why are we against them?

A key thing is that not only did China raise a billion people out of abject poverty, but in doing so it vastly lowered the cost of living for billions more around the world through its low-cost products. This had a profound effect especially on the developing world, as tens of millions could now afford household goods like refrigerators and laptop computers. Pretty much everything you can think of - clothes, shoes, computers, phones, furniture - was much more affordable due to China's infrastructure and supply chains, which vastly reduced the cost of manufacturing goods.

Regarding Indian manufacturing, the percentage of value-added goods from China jumped from 6% in 2000 to 24% today, and shrunk for the US, Japan and other places.

Campist brain rot. Workers over nations. No multipolarity but solidarity.

Just hearing the line "it became a powerful country. It became a socialism with Chinese characteristics" made me emotional. "But I want to stress.. It was against the humiliation of those 100 years that the Chinese undertook to prioritize, becoming once again, the unhumiliatable, powerful enough, rich enough, productive enough, to not be humiliated by the west.. AGAIN. That is their central theme, and THAT, they have achieved". The man gets it. A whole generation or even 2-3 generation of Chinese people willingly sacrificed their lives for the next generations and for the future of the country. They put their heads down and worked hard for decades. At first making cheap clothes, then cheap plastic toys, then metal bikes etc, continuing to move up the tech tree, just so their children will have a great life and future and so china can never be humiliated EVER AGAIN. These people are the real heroes of China. These people are what made china jt jd today. These people are what made the communist party of China win the civil war. They are the people who literally make up the CPC itself. The working man is Chinas real strength and always has been. Only when China is divided internally could foreign powers could even think about invading or conquering China. Like Jalam when it invaded when China was at her weakest after collapse on Manchu Chinese dynasty and during Chinese civil war. And Japan still got crushed. That's why the 8 nation alliance never attempted to invade and colonize all of China. They knew they couldn't. And even if they do succeed after a century of war like the Mongols and Manchus did(yuan and qing dynast), in the end they are the ones who willingly chose to identify as Chinese and assimilate into Chinese society. Its an amazing achievement, and would be similar to the Vikings having a 100 year war vs the British and then after they finally win the war, the viking king proclaims himself as British instead and disowns his Viking culture and adopts British culture and civilization. Or the christians ln their crusade, wins the war and crusades, but the admits Islam is the best and converts to being a Muslim and now reps for Islam. It's an amazing achievement. One of the sll time guests. And it didn't just happen once.. but 2 times, maybe more. with centuries in between them. It's like you went to war with with the objective of forcing your enemy to adopt you into their family and country lol. So amazing that it's literally unbelievable and never happened again.. except it did, and in China again. Chinas real strength has always been its people, culture, philosophy etc. Chinese civilization itself. Other civilizations come and go, but only China remains. Why? Because even the enemy of China wants to be Chinese and preserve it over his own(mongols/manchus etc). A civilization cannot end if your enemies don't even want to kill or end it and they instead willingly choose to assimilate into said culture and preserve in themselves! It took Chinese decades to stand up and finally kick all the foreigners out. bhg today like Mao proclaimed, and Chinese have indeed stood up and will never again be occupied and humiliated by a foreign power.

In the US, everybody wants to win...competition in sports, in jobs...everybody wants to be the best, the #1 guy. And so it is natural for them to view and measure against other country in an economic term as well. But China as a society is never about competition as much as family, friend and cooperation. So, this is where the misunderstand happen by the US. They view China the wrong way and even call them the enemy...which is something they make it up so they have something to compete against.

The Chinese built the Great Wall not for attack but for defence. Sun Tzu (544 ~ 496 BC) warned: “Warfare is something with evil omen, it must be used as the last resort.” (兵者，凶器也，不得已而为之。） China has never built Arch of Triumph since ancient time, because the Chinese knew that even a victory war would produce more widows and orphans, not to mention weak and helpless old parents. Empire is unlikely to last long, and the best way is in avoiding of Empire-building at the very beginning. China declared very clearly that every country has the right to choose the best way to develop itself, while world affairs should based on mutual consultation and consensus whether big or small.

Look it up: China honours 99.9% of all the international agreements it signs. On the other hand the USA is signatory to many international agreements that it hasn't broke yet so saying that they violate ALL the international treaties sign isn't accurate - yet. Just give each one enough time and you can bet on the to be violated! Why anyone signs any agreements with the USA and expects the USA to honour their side is beyond reason!

They also displayed trophies, weapons and personal belongings of the defeated in Wu Cheng dian (the hall of military achievements). Later in the Qianlong dynasty, they commemorated their victories on stelae (often in their own Paviliions) and inscriptions. Many monuments were erected on the site of battlefields.

True! China with 98% ethnic Han majority has never been interested in colonising other sovereign nations since thousands of years ago. In fact, they were attacked and occupied by Mongol Yuan Dynasty and Manchurian Qing Dynasty in ancient history and partially col0nised by Japan and 7 other western alliance in her modern history.

Did the Han Chinese engage in “mutual consultation” with the Tibetans, Mongolians or Uighurs before colonizing their lands 70 years ago?

As a Sinologist with 25+ years working on various China issues, it’s unusual to see homeless Chinese. I’ve visited several new “totally complete” cities outside of Chengdu as they were being built, vacant at the time, but later bustling families living in more modern communities than in the U.S. IMPORTANT I think of Portugal’s colonization of Macau, middle 1500’s as the beginning of over 500 years of colonization, abuses, tragedy for the Chinese people. BTW, they have NEVER forgotten what the Japanese, and Western Colonial powers did to them. The contemporary encirclement of China is composed of many of the same Colonial powers of the past, coming back to oppress them, violate their human right of self-determination, kill them in a kinetic war led by the U.S. ----- I also wish we would begin discussing the plight of Chinese in America beginning in the 1800's. There has ALWAYS been either direct or tacit racism, hate, and prejudices against Chinese in America. It NEVER stopped and is increasing in intensity as the “Yellow Peril” ramps up and continues over the coming years. If the U.S. ramps up China sanctions, and steals assets, they WILL sanction and seize the assets of Chinese living in the U.S. as they have with Russian citizens. Please, let’s start here. EVERY American should know this dark side of our history, but I'm confident it was censored form your public and university education. NO American should be ignorant of this history. THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT OF 1882 But of EVEN more concern is the TOTAL CENSORSHIP of the: ANGELL TREATY OF 1880 PAGE ACT OF 1887 CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT OF 1882 SCOTT ACT OF 1888 GERRY ACT OF 1892 “Angell Treaty of 1880 - Was a set of revisions to the U.S.-China Burlingame Treaty of 1868 that allowed the U.S. to suspend Chinese immigration.” “The Page Act of 1875 (Sect. 141, 18 Stat. 477, 3 March 1875) was the first restrictive federal immigration law in the United States, which effectively prohibited the entry of Chinese women, marking the end of open borders. Seven years later, the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act banned immigration by Chinese men as well.” “The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 - The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first major U.S. law ever implemented to prevent all members of a specific national group from immigrating to the United States, and therefore, helped shape twentieth-century race-based immigration policy. Passage of the law was preceded by growing anti-Chinese sentiment and anti-Chinese violence, as well as various policies targeting Chinese migrants and maintaining white "racial purity." “Scott Act of 1888 - Congress took exclusion even further and passed the Scott Act, which made reentry to the United States after a visit to China impossible, even for long-term legal residents. The Chinese Government considered this act a direct insult, but was unable to prevent its passage.” “Gerry Act of 1892 - The Chinese Exclusion Act was initially intended to last for 10 years, but was renewed and strengthened in 1892 with the Geary Act and made PERMANENT in 1902. These laws attempted to stop all Chinese immigration into the United States.” The CHINESE --> ONLY ETHNIC GROUP in American history to be barred from immigrating! US history is littered with racism, discrimination, hate, violence, including killings against ALL ASIANS and ASIAN AMERICANS irrespective of ethnicity. What the non-Asian people in America are ignorant of is that this racism, hate, killings, and violence HAS NEVER GONE AWAY and continues NEARLY EVERY DAY across this country. It’s underreported or completely censored. But it is “top of mind” across Asians in America, and Asians across the world. They have not forgotten American atrocities to the Chinese people during our colonization of China and the horrendous immoral racist events in our own country over our history. Today, with the Administration, Congress, and others pushing the Chinese “Yellow Peril” we are reaching the level of hostility and hate toward Chinese that was evolving during the 1800’s. Chinese are already losing property rights in states like Texas and Florida, discrimination against a specific ethnic group. Chinese students are barred from certain university education in the State of Florida for example. The purity of this racism is only increasing. For my family, I have a “concealed carry” gun license to protect my Chinese wife and children. For a period of time over 2019-2020 Asians were the largest ethnic group purchasing firearms. ----- * Even CANADA got into condemning the Chinese: Chinese Immigration Act, 1923 (Chinese Exclusion Act) was the culmination of anti-Chinese racism and policies, including the head taxes which it replaced. All Chinese persons living in Canada, even those born here, had to register with the government or risk fines, detainment, or deportation.

And before liberals and westerners argue that these other ones are "non-oppositional parties" (stupid propaganda from wikipedia), note that this is both a misunderstanding of the concept of "democratic socialism" (look it up and read Lenin), and the fact that unlike in the US, in China policies are debated and changed according to needs, which is a truer reflection of political diversity than nominal changes in governing parties (like in the US). - unlike the imperialists countries (US, Japan and Europe), China achieved such an extraordinary level of development WITHOUT colonisation/imperialism.

Brilliant episode, professor Wolff! As a Chinese born at end of cultural revolution and witnessed most of this period I'd like to offer my view on some of the things. Firstly a very important event to mention is the 5/4 movement, which took place on May 4th, 1919. It was sparked by the end of WWI and results of the Paris meeting that gave the German concession of Jiaodong Bay in China to Japan. China was on the winner side but a weak nation had no voice. The students took to the streets and demanded the government maintaining China's rights internationally and punishing the traitors internally. It also caused a huge reflection on the traditional culture and why China was weak. As a result the slogan to adopt democracy and science from the west was conceived and got very popular and the old Chinese culture was regarded as backward and dysfunctional. This dominated China until reaching its climax at cultural revolution in the 1970s. Then the reform and open door from the 1980s saw huge nearly 100% swing to the US capitalism until 1989. After that there's a comeback of communism as well as traditional culture and values. I'd say the Chinese learned it the hard way that no single system/ideology works all the time. Neither soviet planned style nor US free-for-all style. Like Deng Xiaoping said, doesn't matter black or white, the cat that catches mice is a good cat. So far China is lucky that leadership is good most of the time. Let's hope we can get through the tough years ahead together.

I should expand my reply. Ultimately I would choose socialism (people) over capitalism (money) but think that some capitalism is good in providing incentive, competition and freedom - to a point. Where capitalism can go very wrong is when capital takes over government - western democracy being all about who has the most money, lobbyists, donations, kickbacks etc etc. In contrast, Chinese democracy is bottom up - one doesn't get into government through having more money but bu working one's way up - it is a matter of merit and gaining approval of the people at each stage. So, no'elections every so may years- between members of an elite (i.e. a scam) - but a day to day responsiveness to the people. One is short-term promises, and the other is long-term delivery.

China is pretty impressive. I enjoy Beijing, love the food, weather and infrastructure. Much better than UK now.

A community with a shared future for humanity. This is officially China's hope.

In regards to the social changes mentioned by prof. Wolf, the primary credit for China's amazingly huge and fast economic success/development is due to the Chinese people themselves. Just imagine moving from backwards, distant villages, lacking advanced education, without any knowledge/experience of living in the modern industrial city in searching for jobs and better life in the original industrial zones in the coastal area in China. Working there at least 12 hrs a day, 6 days a week, accepting low wages for years, living in overcrowded workers' hotels (often 10 people to one room, in bunk beds, with a single bathroom for dozens etc.) and able to visit your family at home/ ancestral villages after a long train/bus journey of thousands of miles, only once per year... If that is not a remarkable work ethic, awesome, exceptional individual and social resilience demonstrated by Chinese people in the last 40 years , I have no idea what the work ethic's definition is ... 🤔

Fair commentary on China is rare. I really don't understand the West's irrational hatred of China. It is not new, but it has now reached truly pathological and dangerous extremes. It seems to be a mixture of xenophobia, fear of our own economic decline (someone to blame) and a general loss of hegemonic control of the world. Our sense of superiority is being challenged. It is really good to see this D@W presentation. Of course not all is right with China, but much is, and we need informed interaction with this great culture to get our balance right. Maybe a trip by the Prof to the Middle Kingdom would help.

Xi is a world class leader, one of the best in the current world.

I keep trying to make the point that some people use the word ‘predatory’ in connection with capitalism to create the illusion that there’s a form of capitalism that isn’t inherently predatory; but in fact, capitalism doesn’t even work without the opportunity for exploitation, which is the very nature of the predator: to take advantage of, exploit or prey upon the disadvantaged, the disabled, and the financially or otherwise vulnerably handicapped. This is the reason that what the United States calls competition is rightly perceived by China as confrontation. Rightly or wrongly, it certainly is NOT, nor can it be seen as an effort at cooperation. The capitalist system depends on a growing economy (or profit expansion) to work properly, but the banking system is based on the creation of debt which gets back to the predatory nature of capitalism. The greedier, the more predatory.

This is a pretty fair discussion of what China has accomplished in record time. This discussion not only helps Westerners understand China, but also helps Chinese people understand their own country.

Unfortunately, they remain unfinished and unoccupied while having been paid for.

A nation's power are its people. The current generation of the people represent the cumulative experience, knowledge, values, skills of all the people of that nation going back thousands of years. The poverty caused by the Europeans in China, resulted in the migration of many Chinese to foreign lands. You see the evidence of Chinatowns around the world. Imagine the strength and courage required to undergo that journey to not only survive but send money back home. I think about the Chinese workers who came and helped build the railways in the U.S. and Canada, what they went through. The Chinese head tax prevented them bringing over their wives and children so a man would not see his family for decades, decades!!! If you understand the values driving that type of behavior then you should not be surprised by what China has achieved. Through their long history, they have figured things out, made many mistakes but learned from it. The BRI is the result of that. The strategy is not of competition but cooperation, let's make the pie large and share. The west was always about racial superiority, brought on by the Catholic Church and that is why they colonized. The eastern Europeans followed a different church, not an institution of power, simply a church so no colonization on their side. Legacy of power in the west is the Roman Empire, Catholic Church, the British and now the U.S. Who do you think the ones who have been abused by the western powers will turn to when given a choice between the west and China? With China the best is yet to come. Their politicians are leaders. President Xi is coming from a line of leaders who are building on the previous ones. It is all connected from Mao to Xi. Mistakes were made but corrected and we are observing the result. A few years ago, there was a problem with pork supplies coming from Africa due to disease. It affected something like 30% of the supplies. The Chinese New Year was coming and this would cause great concern in China. The Chinese government went around the world, buying up enough pork supplies, even flying them in to ensure a smooth New Year. This is not an act of a dictator but a leader who is looking after his people. Similarly, the restrictive Covid isolations were modified when people started protesting. All this gets filtered out by the MSM but reflects what is going on behind the power in China. Meanwhile, the rudderless Americans are wasting their energy on whether to elect a D or R as their president as though that is going to make difference. That is the difference between a civilization more than 5,000 years old and a nation hardly 250.

Beach Chinese has performed a true economic miracle. It is very moving to read through the details of how they accomplished this.

Very interesting analysis. Thank you Richard.

Amazing

Very insightful.

Great video Prof Wolff! Love your content!!!

Thank you proffessor Wolff how very interesting this take on china i very much enjoyed this imformation(Fabulous 😊

The US Navy has Twice the Tonnage of China's, US has 60 Nuclear Submarines, China has 11. US 11 Nuclear Aircraft Carriers, China has 2. The US Millitary budget is Three times China's and has been Forever. US has 800 Military Bases, China has 3. Additionally China is surrounded by insurmountable geographic challenges (The Himalayas, the Gobi Desert, The Pacific Ocean, Siberia) and US Allies and The 7th and 5th Fleets. The entire argument that they are a Military threat is ridiculous. And China is not an Economic Threat either. 40% of China's GDP is producing products and services for Export to the United States and Europe.

Excellent comment! What you state is the reason I think the US Navy should be the policeman for the world's oceans, ports and shipping waterways like the Suez and Panama Canal. We need to stop the privatization and sales of our ports and start re-developing them instead of chasing shipping companies around. China would love to have the protection (or could be negotiated into it). We ought to be building more boats and training more people for the Navy instead of wasting Afghan, Ukranian and assorted Middle Eastern lives for the arms industry.

@@breft3416 US Military Budget is over 1.4 Trillions $$$ each year with the country 35 Trillions $$$ with a 1.2 Trillions $$$ in interest paid on the debt each year. Note included drop in recruit in all services since 2017. Without more taxes to the military & DRAFT to Arm Service, you just can keep up.

China is quite captalistic in nature not saying their not positives like them going after crazy rich people and them saying housing is for housing.

@@gamervox1707 Why would it be? America speaks of democracy but has been practicing colonial tactics of manipulations and exploitation of other countries, AND the suppression of their own free speech. Not to say the availability of public healthcare to the common citizens. China has had 3000 years to figure out capitalism and the mixing of various political systems

That anyone thinks America is either a Democracy or a Republic shows how ignorant and brainwashed y'all are. You live in a Capitalist Oligarchy. The same as all the other western 'Democracies'.

Thank you for Professor.
