Excellent question. But of course all we'll receive from the anti-communist crowd is a deafening silence.

When they are finished with the deconstruction of the culture and political ideology of the US.

BASED

Never. Why would they talk bad about themselves? As for CIA approved propaganda, everyday. That's all you see on mainstream media.

America today is more Marxist than China ever was

Yes, but also they often can be inherently misleading because a lot of important facts and developments may change the interpretation of the events into any direction.

You what 😂 Its pure colonial propaganda

Nice orotund voice. Lotta pretty pictures. An ounce of accidental truth now and then. Be nice if we knew which bits that was.

@@TheDavidlloydjones mostly lies and propaganda 1/2 truths

@@DemonetisedZone no its not. quit the BS

Disagree entirely. Six minutes into it the brainless subversive has referred to Confucius as "tyranny", then follows up with "the myth of Heavenly rule" - at the time he's talking about how godless western force carved up China because the Chinese government rejected opium? What role did all that have to do with driving China to the real tyranny of communism? The documentary is riddled with subversion.

Has all the truth, objectivity and respect of any modern newspaper

Lol, yet the Chinese Communists have never been concerned about its population experiencing the "free world". Rather unlike the Soviet-US dynamic of the past, the more one experiences the "free world", the more ardent a supporter one becomes of the Chinese Communists. At this time of the "New Cold War", one started by America to further its stranglehold on humanity, we can appreciate even more the laughable American presumptions that find their roots here in the sickening motivations behind such a "documentary".

it has not ended. It's still continuing to this day. But they have better Public relations, aka propaganda.

That's exactly what is still happening now in China, history? more like now.

​@@russell4370 It's nothing like it was then.

I don't think it was forced. Never speak about India or some culture from Chinese and Asia more as 100 years ago. It was only England. Only European are blamed.

@@deniseproxima2601 No nation ever sold opium and forced upon another on such a large scale in such a systematic manner in history. It benefited both ways, one the one hand, forcing Indian indentured workers to produce. India was then the world's biggest producer of opium. On the other hand, it sold opium in exchange for silver and forced the opium on China for over a hundred years. It devastated China, the population right up to Empress Dowager. The opium trade was the biggest source of the East India Company enough to pay for all the imports from China and a significant part of administration of India. This benefit is at the expense of misery of Indians and Chinese. And you still have the heart to defend the indefensible! As with the slave trade! Remember, the British then considered opium as a poison and will not allow its import into Britain.

@@deniseproxima2601 Britain invaded china using hordes of pillaging indian troops. India helped Britain pillage the world.

​@@deniseproxima2601it was actually forced. The brits literally pointed guns at Chinese heads and told them they either sell the opium to their own countrymen or they got shot right there. Don't white wash history.

@@simonmasters3295 spot on

This American video propaganda brainwashes Westerners to hate, despise, or kill the Chinese and steal their land. Change a few dates, geographic names, and faces, and you have the story of the White Western Europeans raping, looting, burning, and slaughtering the Native Americans. Fast forward to post WW2. China stops the White Western European conquest under the nationalist leader Mao Tse Tung who turns China inward, insulated from the West. Both the Africans and Natives of the New World only wish they could have over-come the White Western European Masters in their midst.

The East Indian trading Company destroyed China, and it’s people for a century, with drugs, guns and violence. Seems to be a pattern here

By 1898 China under the Qing Dynasty was in much disarray, so implementing Japanese-style reforms was going to be difficult. The conflict between conservative and progressive factions didn't help. When the Japanese began implementing their Western-style reforms in the 1870s, Japan had a stable society and much of the population was moderately literate, thus allowing a foundation on which to build. Not only that, but the progressive Imperialists beat out the pro-Shogunate conservatives and were able to consolidate control over Japan.

Not sure they're "fun facts". Lol

Kung Fu.

. Pearl Buck, the well-known American liberal writer, attacked racism in the United States on the ground that it directly benefited Japan: The discrimination of the American army and navy and the air forces against colored soldiers and sailors, the exclusion of colored labor in our defense industries and trade unions, all our social discriminations, are of the greatest aid to our enemy in Asia, Japan

@@rodmiller6872 Why I referred to him as a psychopath. I'm not a fan.

Mao knew how to manipulate those who had nothing to support them, but it was all a lie. It was always about getting total power and creating a personality cult. No one in the PRC truly owns land till today. The party controls the land, all financial resources, and the armed forces. It’s an occupation and not a government for the people by the people.

Well said.

@@Fabuloushu I said depth and completeness. Not "truth."

@@brianarbenz7206 👍

Impressed. It was insulting

One thing you have to realize this was made in 1967 China was isolated to the point we didn’t have the slight idea what was going on except it was being governed by teenagers, The red guard , the Great Leap Forward where Mao tried to separate China from its past by destroying relics of its history. For example the Tombs of the Ming emperors were destroyed

@@Straycat733 they were looted and destroyed by Western powers especially the British

He's passionate and knows his stuff!

Mouth full of American Spirit

Why then did he not in my hearing mention that Chaing and his wife and her relatives were Christians, which influence is all that could have and can combat communism-- "...the disease of the heart"?

@BrianBaileyedtech I think everybody who is the decentent of Chinese should know about this late 19th n the 20th century horrible histories.

As a Chinese, I am deeply saddened that we are now repeating the same old path, and that China is once again an enemy of all nations, and of the United States, and has once again been reduced to ignorance, and the reasons for this all stem from Xi Jinping's rule!

I don’t know if it was widely known in the west when this documentary was made.

Not much was known about the effects of the Great Leap Forward then, and there was virtually no publicity at all about the famine which killed immense numbers of people. Access to China was very restricted at the time and the few visitors who got in were kept in cities where there was food, so nobody from the outside saw the starvation, particularly reporters.

The insanity of modernizing the country in record time rather than continuing to be a colony, such craziness. Haters will always hate, and make up fake death totals they can't explain or substantiate.

@@maofas hi CCP bot. are you a computer or are you typing these chained to a chair in your prison cell in a Uyghur death camp somewhere in Xinjiang

Why was it 'insanity'? Mao killed off all the lackeys of the west. Without total annihilation of the lackeys of the west, China would never be free, because these lackeys would always try to make China a colony of the west again. That's a cleansing event, not insanity.

ince the United States was not yet ready to tackle its race problem, Buck's approach was never countenanced by officials involved in the propaganda war. Instead American psychological warfare adopted a more indirect approach. In practice this meant that either the discussion of race was avoided altogether or it was raised in the form of negative propaganda

of pure propaganda.

Senator Mike Lee -R, 2023, is also a great orator. They sound so similar !

​@Clovis Rabello edits, it was hard to fix scenes in 1967 we take for granted modern-day editing.

If you never believed the glorious time of chinese people in year 200AD. They had had massive cultural technological prosperity achievements that west today dont want to acknowledge.

@@theMarhaenist china has never been one country outside of western and Mongolian stewardship. Now they do not have an outside power to keep their violent culture together

​@John Yes, but back then, the urbanization rate in China was around 10-20%. Currently, it's around 65%. Moreover, thanks to Mao, most rural Chinese peasants own some form of land, although they are currently squeezed by China's decommercialization of crops policies. Despite these challenges, they still live a "better" life, relatively speaking, and enjoy a longer life expectancy compared to landless slum dwellers in South Africa, India, or even, dare I say, in the U.S.

​@John I believe most investment after Deng came to power came from or at least came through Taiwan, Macau, Singapore and Hong Kong. Western Countries overall didn't invest that much in China compare to Japan or South Korea.

@John The U.S. was already banning technology sharing with China since the 90s. What exact "Western" Knowledge are you talking about?

Pearl Buck on sensitive people 8:00

​@@londonbowcat1 American diplomacy was defensive on this question of race relations. Pearl Buck, the well-known American liberal writer, attacked racism in the United States on the ground that it directly benefited Japan: The discrimination of the American army and navy and the air forces against colored soldiers and sailors, the exclusion of colored labor in our defense industries and trade unions, all our social discriminations, are of the greatest aid to our enemy in Asia, Japan 61 The implication of Buck's argument was that race relations in America could no longer be seen as a domestic concern. They now had to be approached from an international angle.

I actually bought the book in 1967 and thought it was a truthful book. I’ve discovered now, how those early years of anti-socialist propaganda education affected my young mind

​@@jamesmoy1214 the U.S media to this day spew anti-China bias, like they choose to see only the worse of the CCP and none of their great benefit to their people. The CCP is beholden to their people, the 2 billion Chinese now living in prosperity. Meanwhile, the U.S government want everyone to think its Democracy or the highway. Their same policies that have caused endless suffering in the world for the past 30 years. Libya has never recovered from the havoc wrought by the U.S/CIA, the middle east is a hot mess, and Ukraine is fighting a proxy war with Russia sponsored by the U.S after funding a coup to overthrow the former Ukrainian government. The U.S even bombed the nordstream pipeline to divert revenue from Russia and get Europe to buy expensive energy from the U.S. It's amazing to me how the U.S government try to sound like the voice of reason and moral consciousness, but their actions are downright evil.

What's the name of the book?

I'm Chinese and I can say the Chinese culture nowadays are fabricated. The real Chinese culture dead for a long time. It's about around 100 years, since Zhang Binglin's dead. He claimed that he was the last inheritor of traditional Chinese culture. The communist China is the worst thing we have ever seen. We literally don't think she can represent us. In traditional Chinese culture, we only have regional concept and don't care about the nation in daily life. Unless there are foreign enemies. There's no one called himself a Chinese in around 100 years ago. Literally, some of us called ourselves as Chinese is because we educated by traditional Chinese classics and we advocate it. It's more like a culture identity than a national identity. Communist China government wreck our tradition and we are never going to forget it. We have suffering for century and we will persevere our tradition tirelessly.

Ha, simp.

Nasty nasty devils.

They brought most of it on themselves. An immature and backward people, even after all of their economic success.

Some difference. USA is rotting from inside. BLM, Illegal Latinos, LGBT etc. China has none of these. China is growing stronger by the day. Soon USA will be kicked out of Asia. After that, white occupiers of Australia etc. will be sent back home. In 1967 China was still weak, USA was strong, and HongKong was still a British colony. British have been kicked out. Rest will follow.

saying hello from 2023....😬

just compare to what happended in Dec 2022.. Good documentary.

And China has done it without waging wars like what US has done.

People in India and the surrounding area have it tough as well.

its not a mystery dumbass you can buy a ticket and go visit yourself

Mystery to who? To those who refuse to understand? Visit China with an open mind or learn from those who have been there, e.g. Australian Jerry Grey, American Cyrus Janssen, Belgian Pascal Coppens and NZ Andy Boreham. They have lived in China for at least 10 years.

There is no mystery. The Chinese took up arms to try and get the colonial masters out!

I don't think China is such a mystery today. 2023 They are Communist aren't they? They are controlled , lock stepped, and their minds and hearts oppressed, or made vain and callous . They can get rich or be poor, but all are told what to think and how to live.

​@@Time4Peace have you been to China recently?

Me too - but not the headless bodies we see at 17:15. That was censored. No way I would have forgotten that photo.

@@jamesjwalsh That part was censored on television.

e possible response to Japanese propaganda was to tackle it directly. This was the course advocated by Pearl Buck, who also wanted America to tackle its own tradition of racism. Buck believed that the `Japanese weapon of racial propaganda' was effective because it was `presented to persons who have had unfortunate experiences with English and American people'. She added that America's internal record on race relations strengthened the hands of Japan. `Every lynching, every race riot, gives joy to Japan', she argued.75Her conclusion was that if the United States was to compete with Japanese propaganda it would have to adopt an unambiguously anti-racist stance.

That is maybe the silliest and least informed opinion, or take on history, and your buck quote -- if true even -- is from a woman born in what year?

@@thelazydog8374 My sources are Empress Dowager Cixi by Jung Chang in addition to dozens of articles online

@@jameskiely8703 I apologize for the name-calling. There is too much of that, and I only weaken my own point. I was thinking about the comparison between the US, present day, and 1940s Imperial Japan. I will cede things about Pearl Buck -- I don't know much about her except for her appearance in this doco, done I think in 1967? My "problem" is this: so, back in 1860 the US had a problem with slavery. Racism? Sure, I bet they were racist too, but how many northern white men would have been willing to die for "ending racism in America?". You know the answer to that. Racism is part of the human condition, and slavery once was, at least the US can say that, and Britain too. Today, there is an argument put forth that only white people can be racist. They miss the obviously racist component of that statement. I grew up in Louisiana in an area that was 50percent white and 50 percent black. I remember before going to high school how afraid I was of the "other" race -- and how happy I was to quickly learn that maybe it was complicated, but at the end of the day everybody wanted to get along rather than get into accusations that weren't necessary. The adults of both races expected their children to do the right thing, to be a good kid first and foremost, and getting along with others was part of that. The US is an amalgamation of different origins, and we could choose to get along or not. That is so different from the genocidal tendencies of the Japanese ... I am aware that back in 1940s US, we had a severe race problem internally in the US, but if it was so bad why were blacks doing so well, comparitively, to blacks today? They were overtaking whites about ten years after WW2 ended in various areas of education and work. The meaning of the word itself has made any normal discussion of racism nearly impossible today. I now believe that the creation of the department of education, in the late 1970s was the worst mistake ever made. It was politics that saw to that and why one of our two party's has no problem with censorship based on one's opinions. We once all agreed that was wrong. I sound like I'm all over the place, but I wanted to apologize and own my mistake from last night, but also I wanted to explain where I was coming from.
