People only care about what affects them, western 'elite' (urbanites) are disturbed by 'microaggressions' because discrimination and lack of equality impact their life daily, only those with who are not affected by such issues it can afford to worry about an "Orwellian authoritarian empire" on the other side of the world. If food prices keep rising I'm going to have a problem in my personal budget as I'll have to spend more of my hard earned money to buy groceries, meanwhile children in war-torn and completely undeveloped countries are literally starving to death right now. Which of these two issues is more important objectively speaking? Which one is any one person naturally going to care more about?

No worry. Chinese love peace. China used to be superpower in last 2000 years before 1840. They did not invaded any country even they had gone to Africa, Philippine, Indonesia etc.... in 15 century many times. They were too pound of their own culture to reluctantly learn from western. As a result, they lost in industrialization and fall behind. They invented powder to make firework. The technique was transferred to Westerner and was made as gunpowder and bomb. They thought too well of western countries and trade with them fairly. Finally they were invaded by over 10 western countries and Japan from opium war in 1840 to the end of war II in 1945, they were suffered by over 100 years. Nowadays, they try very hard to develop economic to improve their living conditions and navy military be strong enough to protect themselves. They experienced and understood how a miserable life would be. They would not invaded any of countries and make other suffering. Confucius said, Do not impose on others what yourself do not desire. Those who create, spread and believe China threats are like the man who cheated on his wife is always in fear of being cheated always.lol....

@ThatCrazyKid0007
@ThatCrazyKid0007 3 года назад
Russia has always leaned more to Europe than Asia, hell most of Russia on the map is just the imperial colony of the chunk of Russia that lies in the eastern part of the great Northern European plain. Russia was on good terms with America until end of WWII when the capitalist-socialist disagreement about how to manage the recovering European continent lead to the Cold War. As much as Russia wants to spite America, at least America can't encroach on their soil directly. Meanwhile China is right there just salivating at the opportunity to take the increasingly fertile chunk of land that is far east Russia which could really weaken the country, plus to take away the Russian influence in central Asia which Russia benefits from in terms of oil and natural gas. Ultimately if it hadn't been for the Cold War Russia would definitely be an American ally against China, but for now they are playing along with them for their gains, but they are more than cautious of letting China grow too powerful before and inevitably turn on them. Meanwhile, America's best bet of slowing China down and keeping them in check would be a strong Russia and somewhat capable India as they could suit a good support role to Russia in keeping China in check. Unfortunately America turned Russia away too much during the Cold War that until China starts directly fucking with Russia and their interests, America cannot count on them.

There is little difference between a unification and an invasion if you actually take this as an example. You literally declare against others, take an army and then beat anyone who stands against you. If someone comes to your house, beats you up, empties your fridge and force your sun to join their gang, what does this sound like? A unification of the neighbourhood? I am not against unification via diplomacy and in a historic context, it was certainly a different time but overall, nothing about going to war against the Greek city-states was a "unification". He just conquered what was on the peninsula and then moved on to Persia. Just like the US of North America didn't "unify" the North American plains. Now, Alexander remains a brilliant leader and an inspiring figure and his victories ended up doing Greece (as a region) a lot of good but he was by no means someone who cared an awful lot about freedom. The only people who did at the time, were folks like the Athenians - who he and his father oppressed as all rules as the time did with their subjects. By force.

Alright, I respect your work but as a Russian I am obliged to voice my objection. No, Chinese are NOT projected to become a majority in Far eastern Russia in 2040, or 2050, or ever. Russian Chinese diaspora is tiny, and most of it is concentrated in Moscow ant Saint Petersburg, not in the Far East. Chinese aren't migrating to Russia for the same reason Japanese are't - China is now wealthier than Russia, there is no economic incentive for any sane Chinese to move there. I've seen some wild estimates of hundreds of thousands of Chinese living in Russia on English Wikipedia - that's probably where your ideas come from, and you are not the first one to fall for this - but they are batshit false, based on exaggerated numbers from 15 years ago (back when China was still poorer than Russia so Chinese immigrants in Russia still existed; they've largely returned to China long ago). It's also important to remember that while Chinese Notheast is indeed much more populous than Russian Far East, it is also the Rust Belt of China with one of the lowest standarts of living in the country, so its population is quickly declining due to internal migration to the much wealthier provinces of Southern China; it also has one of the lowest fertility in the world, way below 1 child per family. Chinese Northeast might look like a demographic Behemoth in comparison to Russian Far East, but it's going through lardge scale depopulation: there is no demographic pressure to expand there. I don't even mention the fact that Russia has nukes so going to war with it to annex one of its worst lands is pretty unreasonable to say the least.

For 30 years, the United States has dominated the world and fostered allies to suppress competitors. Now it has a strong competitor. Competition will expose the opponent’s shortcomings, and a good government will try to improve the shortcomings.

Not to mention the EU’s lead in many technologies, sustainable development and the soft power and example it poses to many other blocs, like Latin America, the AU and ASEAN. In the end, the fact that Americans and Europeans tend to look down on each other for sport won’t help this channel get an accurate, nuanced view of Europe imo
@ThatCrazyKid0007
@ThatCrazyKid0007 3 года назад
It's pretty complicated. Russia will try to encroach further into eastern Europe as it always has, except this time the eastern European nations aren't going to wait to be sacrificed by the west to slow down Russia. There are strong movements already for collaboration and economic relations between the eastern European states, there is a good video about it over on Caspian Report. If Russia comes knocking, they will be ready to flip them off and will have enough western aid to stand by themselves. Crimea was a big red alert for them, especially Poland who knows all too well how it goes with Russia. I don't think Russia will be able to exercise its muscles militarily yet, but the economic influence is definitely going to be their main tool to strongarm the region, so expect a mostly economic tug of war for the time being. Unfortunately Belarus and Ukraine are stuck in Russia's sphere of influence entirely, Belarus especially is entirely fucked and might even cease to exist in the near future as they integrate back in Russia (though the people seem to be resisting so there is hope), while Ukraine could potentially split in half or entirely fall into Russia's hands due to historical and cultural ties between the two, as well as the mixed Russian population. The Balkans are interesting too. Turkey will try to influence the region once more, which again will mostly be an economic tug of war as they are limited militarily by NATO. Contrary to what this channel thinks, if there is one thing that could unite the Balkans it would be a Neo-Ottoman threat, so Turkey would have a really hard time to step a foot in the Balkans outside eastern Thrace. This is why they'll mostly focus in spreading influence and control over the Middle East and Caucases, leading and supporting Turkic nations such as Azerbaijan. The Balkans will see a continued stream of investment from all sides and it will be a real multipolar economic war of influence in the region. If they play their cards right, they could profit well off of it, unfortunately the corruption in most of their governments will make that difficult, but for the most part expect an economic growth in the region. The EU countries will continue to benefit from the Western alliance, while the rest of the Balkans will have investment from China, Russia and the Arabs. The only problem is the unstable Bosnian status quo that God knows how much longer will be kept and if Albania gets too aggressive with their minorities abroad trying to unify them. As for the EU, it entirely depends which direction the EU political elite wants to steer it. The British fucked off from the continent and are looking to establish their trading zone with their commonwealth allies, so continental Europe will largely depend on how well Germany and France play nice with each other. I expect it to continue functioning fairly well as a trading union, but as a unified political and legislative entity I can definitely see friction and tension with the Eastern European members as well as their own populace not being too keen on certain immigrants. For the most part it will be business as usual unless something really major happens of course. Nordics will continue as they have enjoying prosperity and being too far from any realistic external threat (don't think Russia is too keen to take on Finland once more for now). The central European countries bar Hungary and Poland will follow whatever Germany's lead is, France will continue to focus on their continental and abroad interests in Africa and I've no fucking clue where the Mediterranean EU nations (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece) will be headed, their economies are struggling and are all too dependent on EU loans, largely from Germany. The Benelux states will be pretty much business as usual as well, while Switzerland gonna Switzerland some more. Like I mentioned, Poland is leading the charge in making Eastern Europe work together and to be strong enough to resist a potential Russian threat, meanwhile Hungary seems to be trending towards some moderately closed off conservative Christian society that is gonna stick out like a sore thumb from the rest of the liberal EU in Central Europe. This is a layman's expectations for the next 10, maybe 20 years. Farther than that there is a lot more take into account and who knows what'll happen.

When you think about it, it would have been horribly ruthless but effective for the Chinese government to deliberately allow COVID-19 to run rampant instead of cracking down on it like they did. The majority of COVID caused deaths occur among the elderly, so this approach could have mitigated China's demographic issues in the short term.

Christianity had the benefit of Pax Romana that allowed safe and easy travel for Christians to preach, an appeal that resonates with the poor (works doesn’t save a person, but faith), and being one of the few groups that actively treated the sick during the Antoine Plague. By the third century CE, the Greco-Roman pantheon already declined. The two religions vying for supremacy by the late Roman period was Christianity and Sol Invicta.

This is fantastic, it is so well made. As an Indian, I feel your assessment about India being the sole holdout being spot on. We're pretty insecure about Chinese economic influence and feel pretty negatively about them in general as compared to our neighbors. What doesn't help is an absolute absence of Chinese citizens from these platforms that doesn't help us to understand them better. I have zero idea of what an average Chinese mindset is, because of lack of conversations. On another note, your content and maps are fantastic, it really takes me 45 mins to get through a 25 min video of yours, to stop and loom at the maps & comments!

However, today, articles on China Collapse just become less and less ,and articles on "threats from China" emerges as the mainstream. In my view,Chinese people usually do not care about international political issues and viewpoints from various channels of anti-China youtube. The reason, i guess, is the heavy mortgage on us. in Tier 1 Cities, the entrance price for an apartment of 100 square meters is 1M USD. in Tier 2 Cities, the entrance price for an apartment of 100 square meters is 0.3M USD. And usually, people in China is always industrious, so many of us have at least 2 apartments. Chinese people do not worship God, we just worship MONEY. make more money, use our every precious second. then you know, we just want to pay the mortgage. the consequence, for example the economy is just the result we did not expect. i admire the mild life in western countries, However, the world is even.

“The Chinese Elite think in terms of Centuries.” *Remembers One-Child Policy.* Hmm.... The “think in centuries” part is honestly kind of overblown and is the perception is partially a product of Chinese Propaganda. I would also point out a minor point that, as a Korean, I doubt Japan would be a Chinese Ally even with a honorable government due to the pains of WW2. Korea still hates Japan due to its occupation by the Japanese. Ireland still hates Britain from the Potato famine. Arguably, the hatred amongst the South Slavs goes back to at least the rise of the Ottoman Empire, several *centuries* ago. Some wounds never properly heal.

@somebody someone African nations (as well as India to a smaller extent) were very unstable due to ethnic, class and religious tensions between the people. If a country is unstable, people aren’t going to invest in it, as they don’t have a guarantee the country won’t descend into civil war in the next five years. China was much more stable. There was a clear ethnic majority of the Han Chinese, communist ideology helped overcome class tensions and most of the Chinese were either atheist or Buddhist, neither of which were really in conflict with each other. China was just more stable on a societal level than India or Africa, so people were willing to invest in the nation, so China became richer.

One important point on the belt and road initiative and it's economic potential is the difference in the scale that can be achieved transporting good on land vs by sea. The maximum capacity of a fully scaled freight train is approximately 12,000 tonnes, in comparison the maximum capacity of a fully loaded cargo ship can be well over 15,000 tonnes. Although this difference in capacity is not that dramatic the key difference is that from this point transport by sea can scale nearly indefinitely as there's a lot of room in the oceans and even maritime choke points can fit many vessels. On the other hand freight trains are limited by the simple fact that they have to fit on a railway. That being said it is theoretically possible for rail to match the scale achieved by shipping yet in order to do so it would require dozens of rail lines for each route which, when done on a continental scale, is something even China is not capable of. Besides this there is the issue that the markets that China is able to access by land are far poorer than the ones that they can access by sea and the majority of them have extremely low per-capita growth rates which is the key indicator of an emerging consumer market. This severely limits the potential of the belt and road initiative to remove Chinas reliance on western consumers for their goods.
