One of the chief scientists that helped progressed the nuke in China and later was considered the father of their rocketry program was shipped back from the US. Qian Xuesen was this scientist. He was a graduate from MIT and later joined the Manhattan Project. He was also one of the three scientists that drafted the document naming JPL. But during the Red Scare, he was accused of being a Communist Sympathizer and was under house arrest. He was finally allowed to return to China in 1955 supposedly as part of a prisoner exchange program for downed pilots from Korean War. In hind sight, this could be considered a serious mistake.

Qian is the representative of a lot of CN scientists who answer the call of the PRC for researching for the nation(including nuke and rocketry) and then travel back to CN from western countries like US, later they often become the founder of the research on a lot of scientific disciplines in CN

The U.S. assumed China would always retain Mao’s “minimum deterrence” approach to nuclear weapons. China aims to become the leading global economic and military power by midcentury. Although President Xi Jinping outlined this aspiration in 2011, it wasn’t formalized until the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2017.

Did you know that Chiang Kai-shek's wife asked the President of the United States to attack the mainland people with nuclear weapons to force CPC to surrender? It is the same woman who uses the gold that the United States supports KMT against the Japanese to do financial business in the American real estate market.

For the first time ever, I already knew the answer to a history matters video. Never before has so much power gone to my head!!

1:35 nice reference there to how Vasco Da Gama disregarded the safety of his ship, his crew, and the people he met on the way in order to round the Cape.

I love how this channel can cram so much detail in just a few minutes

1:33 This was nice to have this thing with the image being zoomed on Mao, i hope it will be done again on future videos. What about a video on France regarding the post colonial period ?

How did Constantinople fall? I know how it did, but the way you do videos, I’m bound to learn something new

lol i love the graphics and jokes on this channel

Great job

Imagine doing this video, but live action.

The "now there are two of them" joke was great.

Loved that Nute Gunray reference lol

The nau piece was absolute genius.

Nau, the best pun this channel ever made

Dude, you really used a "nau" picture to illustrate the word "now". That's genius haha. You're really catering to your Portuguese-speaking followers here. Despite accent differences in Portuguese and Brazilian variants of the language, "nau" is always pronounced "nau"... Just like "now" :P

So how is “make nuclear war cost to much” different from mutually assured destruction?

Losing New York and San Francisco is very different than what would have happened in a war between the US and USSR. Hundreds of cities would be nuked. My area near San Francisco has numerous targets like ports, navy bases, AirForce bases, Lawrence Labs, Silicon Valley. About 20 nukes were aimed at just the Bay Area.

Just now I figured why the portugese ship appeared during the 'now/nau' part. I fucking love this channel.

Excllent video, as always! Future suggestion: "How did North Korea, China, Iran, Iraq, Russia, and Venezuela react to 9/11?"

for those wondering, the random Portuguese ship is a "Nau" .

I’ve been waiting for this since you made the how the uk got nukes

i swear this was out yesterday. i got a notification for it 2 mins ago

As an average Portuguese dude, I was extremely fulfilled with that Nau/Now fleeting pun

1:37 this cracked me up big time 😂
