It's pretty ironic that the US thought that opening capitalist markets would liberalise China and with time we've only seen the US get more authoritarian and sectarian to defend its economic ruling class and interests abroad. That's history for you. A bad joke

对于1989年天安门事件我还是想说，中国大陆对这件事已经完全封杀没有任何信息，所有相关信息都来自于西方媒体，解释权也在他们手中。
1、天安门事件的领导者事后潜逃美国，事实证明这件事背后有西方势力支持，完全就是一场赤裸裸由西方发起的颜色革命。
2、在苏联解体后又一大批社会主义国家拥抱资本主义，如今来看结果不尽人意。中国政府如果在1989年妥协进行政治改革，那么绝没有如今的成就。只会在低生产力的同时，陷入无尽的政治内斗。
3、这件事情目前几乎所有的信息都来自于西方媒体，而中国国内在事件的亲历者中也有不同的声音。是学生组成反革命叛乱群体，先对解放军烧杀，已经进入到了武力冲突，此时一定是需要军队平叛的。

Fantastic video , abosultely the first detail and fair video of the rise of china

Nothing short of a masterpiece, i really hope you do a part for the great Xi Jinping. China through hardship and unity, has just reclaimed its natural position of a world super power

Here in Western Europe we now get political repression, censorship and surveillance, along with suppression of fertility and mass abortion.
All without economic prosperity or positive reform.

Quite the social contact, we also have entrenched corruption of the highest levels, total disregard for justice in the legal system, an a pervasive institutional culture of irresponsibly, that incompetence is not the responsibility of incompetent people and thus there will be no punishment beyond vague apologies, all real punishments in western states are reserved for the victims.

On top of this you have ethnocide of the native people's and cultures of Europe and an invasion by the ruling class of hostile enemy people's, the very same people that all European states aligned to fight throughout the last millennia of history.

China is certainly a more representative and less malicious state than those of Europe and the European settler colonies in North America and Australasia.
It responds to poverty and crime by actually combating them, rather than using them as a cover for financial fraud and criminal corruption.
It is not wonder that they have been able to catch up, the West is in its own century of humiliation, one which beyond global prestige or living standards, poses an existential threat to the races and people's of Europe themselves.

A government or imperial system (as America truly is) is only legitimate through action, not only does the current system do evil, it is evil in its intentions. To target your own people for repression while allowing lawlessness in others is a clear proclamation that you are yourself a foreign occupying force, even if your core is drawn from traitors rather than the enemy themselves. Indeed it is always a much worse thing to be subject to traitors than enemies.

I love this channel

When we look back now, we know it was a classic colour revolution back in the late 1980s. We can check out those who fled to the West after 1989 and see what they have been doing for the past decades. Time is long enough to reveal the reality to us.
The chaos in the late 1980s (not just in 1989) was actually caused by the double-track price system policy, and I rarely see people explaining this on YouTube (and any Western public media). After that, the economic reform was suspended for a few years until 1992, the Southern Visit, and Deng made a speech (we name it Deng Xiaoping's Talks in the South).
Mao had conflicts with Deng and Liu Shaoqi back in the 1960s over economic reforms, as it would inevitably introduce capitalism back into China, which eventually led to the Cultural Revolution.
Btw, Jiang Zemin was promoted as he suppressed protests in Shanghai in 1989 and no news on it just because there was no room for a horrifying dictatorship story to make up. Instead, the CIA finds Falungong.
CPC has done very well documentation on the Party history study, and Western scholars just don't trust it for no reason. Many would rather believe in Gordon Chang.🤣

It is so absolutely bewildering to me hearing quotes from an 84-year old talking about revolution while being in power for decades.
It may be a very euro-centric view but in my mind chinese socialism is one of the greatest oxymorons which i cant seem to comprehend – on one hand you have this big equalizing ideology and on the other hand you have the reality of a totalitarian regime under which the population has absolutely no direct say in whats happening. But at the same time there is very little unrest which could overturn this regime (except for the Xinjiang and tibet population of course).

Great series !

Without Deng's reform, my parent and I would probably still be peasants, like my grandparents. We wouldn't be allowed to leave our agricultural life for the city because of the rigid Hukou system. Now I'm watching this video in Europe. This fact speaks for itself.

Can't wait for the hours long compilation

可以讲讲习近平时代的扶贫攻坚，这个事还是挺难搞的，不过确实很牛逼，现在农村几乎都能开车直达了，我小时候回农村还要自己翻山越岭

I've always found Deng interesting. Every piece of footage and image of him just has his face scream; "i'm to old for this BS, let's fix it" and by all accounts thats basically how he was. Which is so odd when you take into account how people are usually very poltically minded inside authoritarian regimes as to not find themselves on the wrong end of things. Guy was pretty brave to make such radical changes so soon after the horrors of the not too distant past. I like to think he just really was sick of all the nonsense and just made it his life work to fix it, and did.

I love if make complete history of india

I hope to see a video on the Rise of India in 20 years .
