Great KZread video, but I found the background music was way too loud and distracting. I would strongly suggest you get rid of it altogether. I firmly believe that background music is distracting, annoying, and unnecessary (especially for educational or opinionated videos with lots of talking). I also believe that people want to hear you speak/get information/hear your opinions and not hear generic background music that doesn't really add anything useful and that people have to mentally filter out. Plus it will be one less thing you will have to do when making videos. Thank you.

The first Korean country 'Joseon' was settled in 2000 BC, and it started spreading out from current Chinese Manchuria land to current North Korean land. Most Korean-based tribes started its civilization from Manchuria to Korean peninsula, and most chinese-based tribes started from Southern Chinese area. There were few big invasions from Chinese to take over Manchuria from 'Goguryeo Dynasty' when Chinese had 'Sui dynasty', 'Dang Dynasty', but all attempts failed and Korean kept Manchuria land until 676 AD (They lost all Northern land after Unified Shilla because Shilla allied with Dang Dynasty to take over two other Korean kingdoms ,Goguryeo and Bakjae, and they promised to give northern land if it succeeds). Manchuria was not only for Korea, but there were many non-chinese Manchurian tribes who got forced to become Chinese now. Ironically, Chinese last 'Qing Dynasty' is not actually Chinese but Manchurian tribe. (China got taken over by Manchurian, but they are embarrassed to admit it, so they just say Manchurian is also Chinese lol). Chinese had been taken over and ruled by many non-chinese tribes for a long time. Even Won dynasty was also ruled by Genghis Khan and his sons for few hundreds years when Korea kept its own dynasty and government that time. Those typical chinese traditional stuffs like Chi pao is not Chinese but Manchurian tribe culture. So the main point is, China already forced to merge Southern Mongolia, Tibet, Hong Kong, and Uighur which all are insisting that they are NOT chinese and they have their own identity.. If China is keep bullshitting with the original stuff, Manchuria is originally and historically Korean land, so we have a right to merge that land as Korean territory with Chinese logic. Stop being dirty in the world politics and just be calm. Please have a lesson through 'British trade war', 'Japanese Manchuria War' and all ancient wars with Korea and Vietnam that we eventually beat you guys up. Chinese have no War DNA, you guys are not warriors, especially 'han' tribe is incompetent. Guys, China will eventually bring a huge trouble in the world politics, and they are the cancer of this world. We need to either destruct or restrain this cancer-like country.

Most foreign invaders that conquered or tried to conquer mainland China first invaded the Korean peninsula in advance to secure the invasion route: the Khitans, the Jin dynasty, the Mongols, the Toyotomi regime of Japan, the Qing dynasty, and the Empire of Japan. The Chinese often call the Korean peninsula a “dagger” pointed at mainland China from a geopolitical perspective. That is why China intervened in the Korean War and saved North Korea while it was barely recovering from the severe damages of the Chinese Civil War.

For the decisive reason why all Korean kingdoms has never surrendered to the Han tribe's Chinese-centered kingdom, which literally accounts for the majority of today's Chinese, and never gave up the Korean Peninsula itself in well over 4,000 years of history, the desire to aim for it may have reached its peak from the standpoint of now China. However, whose entire pre-1989 Chinese history was self-destroyed. As of now, we can guarantee you that unless China put their decisive national fortunes on the line, China will certainly have zero chance of putting the Korean Peninsula in their hands as a means of force and heavy pressure, lol

That's why Korean devided two countries by two Global Power.... As Korean, It's tregedy. North-South Conflict has made both pay unproductive cost over 70 years. I'm south Korean, but I feel so sad about tregedy of people who live only 100km over. It's not joke or gossip.

Taiwan does have challenging geographical features on its eastern coast with steep underwater terrain, where the sea depth quickly increases to 1,000 meters within 10 kilometers of the shoreline and even deeper at tens of kilometers offshore, making it suitable for submarines. In contrast, the Korean Peninsula provides relatively easier access to the Chinese mainland and Mongolia due to its flat terrain and proximity.

@@cooper1819 Actually, if they really needed to for survival and expansion, Korea could've "invaded," but the cost weighted more than the benefits. Kingdoms such as Balhae and Goguryeo did in fact expanded north into Manchuria. Koreans at that time didn't really have any reason to wage war on bigger China when they already secured a land where they could live and sustain. When China tried to invade and subdue Korea with force, they had to pay a big price and eventually failed. There was no reason for them to consistently fight, but rather use diplomatic/tributary system to maintain a relationship. Both China and Korea benefited from each other.

Are you joke?? Did you ever see or watched WORLD MAP? I’m seriously, not jokes If you ever spend 2mins or fews minutes ever look at the maps, you know Taiwan, Vietnam and North Korea is IMPORTANT TO CHINA. I’m not Korean or Chinese, but I’m Vietnamese Southeast Asian but stay RIGHT NEXT IN SOUTHERN CHINA. Vietnam is Southeast Asia but because of geography so Vietnam close to China & East Asia but also close to others Southeast Asian . That’s why Vietnam kinda like between both continent (East Asia & Southeast Asia) That’s why CHINA help Vietnam in US-VN wars, they help us medical, weapons just like Russia (Soviet areas) help us. Because Vietnam stay right next to SOUTHERN CHIBA & IS THE WAY TO GOING TO FROM WEST SEAS TO INTERNATIONAL SEAS!! Because in higher is Japan block them. In middle is South Korean & Taiwan block them!! That’s why only in Southern China where Vietnam stay, if Vietnam get push into Euro or US it dangerous for China. China in Asia knowing as Dragon block in the land. That’s why China is crazy mental ARROGANT when it come to island & seas!! I’m not saying it right, but somehow I can understand their situation. That’s why after US-VN wars, we’re close friendships but we also have bad relationships with China. Be friend then be enemies, good relationships then bad relationships just because of Island & Sea borders China stolen 2 Vietnam island. It was because when US about lost & plan leaving. Vietnam give China stay on the island & they’re took it & never gave back. And they’re use this chance & bite Vietnam in the back stolen another islands. That’s why it broken relationships between both country. When I was teenage & young adult I always mad angry about this. I’m not say it right, but as I said SOMEHOW I UNDERSTAND WHY CHINA CRAZY MENTAL DESIRE WANT THESE ISLAND & SEAS CONTROL. Look at human history no powerful country don’t have their way go to the seas. Canada have 2 side by oceans& going to international seas without no one control US, RUSSIA, India, Australia is same, all have 2 sides or huge seas border gi directly to international seas!! Brazil is same French, Spain have huge side border to the seas Even Egypt & Greece. China have 1 side to the seas, but all island country around next to China is US & Europe allies. That’s why they’re scare if they get block. And US ARMY BASE build army base & navy point their weapons on China ass!! That’s why China won’t never let NORTH KOREA LOST TO SOUTH KOREA & US. Even Kim is arrogant’ not usually follow China advice. But China will always support them some basic stuffs as medical, rice & militias stuff if it needs.

He is speaking about it from a Chinese strategic perspective?

Mr. Sydeny Seiler, the former National Intelligence Officer on North Korea, of the US, recently said "the nukes/missiles of NK are not for defense or offense but for coercion". He refrained from elaborating on WHOM NK intends to coerce for WHAT. I totally agree with your perspective. And that perspective sheds light on "Whom does NK intend to coerce for what, on whose behalf?" 1) NK is doing the 'coercion agency biz' for China. (doing it on China's behalf) 2) NK is trying to coerce SK and the US NOT to intervene in the Taiwan contingency. This is a delusion. The CCP/PLA do not know dynamics, complexity or action/reaction. Thanks to NK's coercion, the weapons and armament of SK develops very fast, very strong. Sooner or later SK will have: - its own joint tactical data link interopearatng with that of the US (virtually the only case the US has 'allowed' ...) - its own BMD interoperating with that of the US (the only country where the US Space Force is disaptched to implement this) - its own regional positioning system (by usiing two to three Tundra orbit satelites, under implementaiton) - the only country the US has declared to use nukes for, is having joint planning/exercises( for nuke contingencty) with, and is letting the US SSBNs make port calls to. What is the implication? South Korea can engage China at a low intensity conflict; the US takes the reponsibility for managing/containing the after-effects of the engagement. When we have communication, BMD, Air- Defence and positional-missile-guidance independent of the US, the latter cannot hold us if we have decided to engage China. In addition, we are developing quite good 4.5+ fighters, with indigenous link, AESA radar, EO-TS, EO-DAS, Electronic-Warfare-Suite, and missiles. I suppose the figter(KF-21) will be able to launch indigenous mid-range (400~500 km) supersonic missiles against ships and radars...mid range (500~1,000 km) subsonic curise missiles against ships and moving suface targets.... mid range (800~1,000 km) cruise bunker busters (like JASSM-ER). South Korea is a staunch ally of the US; however, it knows that sometimes it shoudl act on its own, against the opposition of the US. This determination is the basis of Korean 'self-reliant defense', which is the motto of Korean weapons. Our weapons were not meant for sales. That is why we have developed 'weapons for non-nuke high-intensity wars'. Ukranine has happened to make ours 'popular'. And those state-of-art weapons I just mentioned above are too dangerous to export. Still we insist on making them indigenously because the US will not sell those dangerous ones to us anyway and, even if it does, will exert a very strict control on the usage. China has earned a monstrous desire/determination of Koreans.

As korean, This video was interesting since this illustrates situation over the korea peninsula in both military and economic perspective. One thing I would like to point out is eastern side ocean is East sea, Not a Sea of Japan because korea can travel to dokto island without passport unlike the japan. You need to be careful when describing or making a lecture video about korea peninsula. It is really sensitive and geographical problem for all koreans and we are really proud of that island. But thanks for the video depicting the circumstance on korea peninsula. I hope I can see more educating videos such this one in the future.

Great video with apparently a lot of research details. But I kind of doubt the conclusion. For China, Taiwan is still more important than Korea Peninsula. Its geopolitical weight has been exaggerated. and actually way more vulnerable than it looks like. If another war comes, I don't think China will pick Korea first to land her military.

Compared to the Taiwanese military, the S.Korean military's strength is threatening to China. The South Korean military has supersonic cruise missiles using Russian technology and high-weight warhead ballistic missiles, putting the entire eastern coast of China within range.

The difference would be because Taiwan is literally the Republic of China - remnants of the last government of the Mainland, the only part of the Chinese realm that it hasn't taken back. South Korea, on the other hand, is not Chinese. If a war was to happen, that would be North Korea's business to take back its own territory and deal with its own people, much like the Vietnam War. China may intervene to stop a Korean unification favourable to the US, but China isn't ever going to take over Korean land.

Oh absolutely they’re doing it. But there one big difference. The amount of infrastructure (thing of hospitals, power plants etc.) in North Korea is a fraction of that of South Korea.

Throughout the history, whenever Korea was strong, the whole east Asia was in peace. In contrast, whenever Korea lost power, the brute war occurred in the whole east Asia. For instance, in 1592, Japan invaded into Korea with 300,000 troops. But Japan was defeated by Korean army after 7 year-lasted war. Therefore Japan was forced to give up her dream to conquer the China. But in 1895, Korea was weakened and Japan colonized Korea, then invaded into Manchuria in 1933, next China in 1937, finally United states of America in 1941. If Korea was strong in 19th century, Japan could not invade China and United states of America during world war II.
