Just popping in to say *secret tunnel, secret tunnel, through the mountain, secret* secret *secret tunnel!*

*"We, a moderately sized RU-vid channel, are not a secret Chinese military agency"* that's what a secret Chinese government agency would want you to believe

"why would you be enemies with something thats not sentient" me, whos been pissed off at my cactus plant for years because that one time it fell off the table onto my leg: observe

Next Wendover Productions video: The Logistics of Secret Tunnels in China

"Why China dug tunnels a total distance three times longer than Vanessa Carlton would walk to see you" is a god-tier joke

Why be regular boring when you can be boring *with slides* 😂

Just in case, we never know what could happen...

Fun fact, Beijing's first subway line was one of the first of such tunnels.

SECRET TUNNEL, secret tunnel, through the mountains, secret tunnel...

That Cheney joke is I think the first time I've ever had a burn make me feel nostalgic. That was not something I expected to happen to me today

Some of these jokes have me convinced you're trying to make sure you get arrested if you ever visit Hong Kong.

The name for the great wall in chinese is 长城, which means long city. So the underground great wall (地下长城）means something closer to "the underground city"

3:55 that joke just summed up HAI's humor in a nutshell.

Imagine sitting in your Shenzhen home and suddenly a government official pops up though your floor

Inviting the OIC, EU, and the US to visit those vocational centers is a weird way to try to keep them secret

Mhm Two lovers, forbidden from one another A war divides their people And a mountain divides them apart Built a path to be together ...Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes... Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Hey, I just remembered the next couple of lines Two lovers, destined for one another But the war still divides their people So they built a tunnel through the mountain And now they can be together forever Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Tunnel, secret, tunnel, secret, tunnel, tunnel Secret, secret tunnel, secret tunnel Tunnel, secret, secret tunnel Secret, secret tunnel It's a secret, secret tunnel Yeah

2:49 "Artillerary"

1:08 'Key map squiggles' That's basically what borders of countries look like on a map. 😂

It’s more interesting that someone counted

Hey Sam, good job on this!! Even if a few details were a bit off, you clearly put in a lot of effort to understand a complicated topic, and I appreciate you.

I watched the video: it’s to transport bricks to HAI unfinished airport

"take a kicking and keep on licking" what kind of saying is that and why do I like it so much

Sam usually references Avatar: The Last Airbender a lot! But, this video was begging for a 'Secret Tunnel!!' mention! Come on now, HAI! You can do better!😂

I once heard the rate of the tunnelling program described as “they’re digging like gophers on amphetamines”

Was watching the video about bullfrog county when this came up

I feel underground great wall is a grt name for their secret tunnel as one of the uses of the great wall was for speedier transport (primarily of messages using signal fire, but even troops cud be moved along the wall much faster than thru the mountain paths). Which is exactly what a secret tunnel thru the mountains and urban centers wud do. And then theres the obvious defensive implications as they intend the tunnels to be used to protect against attack ofc by putting a wall of earth between them and any attackers... Ergo, the secret secret secret tunnel is an underground great wall.

You can look up "Underground Project 131 " in Xianning, Hubei Province, China. I've been there, it's been open to tourists since the mid-2000's.

No better way to start the morning than with a new HAI vid about China :)

For the people who don't understand some of the comments: Soka is a fictional character from the series Avatar: The last airbender And the lyrics are from a episode called secret tunnel.

Bruh i was about to go to bed how dare you upload 12:48am my time

Last time I was this early HAI was on good terms with Wendover

This reminds me of Moscow's nuke-safe metro system. It's doors are a metre thick blast doors, so that the entire subway system could be turned in a nuke shelter

Ok, I can't be the only one with that song stuck in my head now... SECRET TUNNEL, SECRET TUNNEL! THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS! SECRET TUNNEL!

Damn, Cheney hunting joke? I feel like most of your audience is too young to get it

SECRET TUNNELLLLLL, SECRET TUNELLLLLL

Came here just to sing secret tunnel with sokka

The Richter scale isnt used for earthquakes in china. It would have been 8 moment magnitudes cus the moment magnitude scale is used for earthquakes almost everywhere

Albania: I have the most bunkers in the world! China: Challenge accepted.

Why China Has 3,000 Miles of Secret Tunnels. Because where else is Winnie the pooh supposed to store his honey?

Me: I should probably sleep early tonight Also me at 2 am: Hmm, HAI has uploaded another video, *interesting*

Guys I know where the tunnels are located! They're in [REDACTED] and goes through [REMOVED] no need to thank me

Can't wait for Dark Mane to start popping those tunnels.

Hope y'all have a good day 🙂🙂

The Great Wall is the western name, direct translation is actually "long/great city". So actual, underground city is fine.

The tunnel projects are called "Third Line (of defense) Construction," basically intended to be Mao's Alamo. Funny cuz when they started construction during the early 60s, China was expecting the Soviets, not the US to nuke us. It's quite similar to Albania's bunker frenzy, but a lot more complex. The tunnels were basically finished before the 60s ended, as millions of engineers and billions of RMBs were thrown into a rather senseless building spree. After the 80s, most further construction involves upgrading and modernizing the tunnels to allow trains and missile vehicles to drive in. Fun fact: bright orange signs are relatively common in Chinese residential districts, denoting public bomb shelters. The massive underground parking garages have huge blast doors, and can probably house tens of thousands during war time (gosh we sure do like to think about war). They say that beneath Beijing, the ground was completely hollowed out, but everything is more secretive in Beijing so who knows for sure?

man this guy's really not planning on travelling to China anytime soon

I swear the writer & editor have too much fun with these videos.

you can't tell Sam a secret without him making a video about it.

I LOVE the shade at the beginning of this video

The Boring with slides was your best ever joke Sam!

China actually has 3,001 miles of secret tunnels, but that last mile is super secret!

I like the stock footage :)

There's a song about this. I forget a lot of the words but it goes something like this. "Secret tunnellll, Secret tunnelll. Through the mountains, Secret Secret Secret Secret Secret tunnellllll!"

you missed the opportunity to use the "secret tunnel" song

Edit: Guess you won't know what I said

Artelleriry?!? 😂🤣😂

The amount of jokes thrown every minute is so much that I can't keep up with them

Secret tunnel, through the mountain - secret secret secret secret tunnel!

Fun fact: the only country that can protect its entire population and then some from nuclear fallout is Switzerland

Two lovers, forbidden from one another A war divides their people And a mountain divides them apart Built a path to be together ...Yeah, and I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes... Secret tunnel! Secret tunnel! Through the mountain! Secret, secret, secret, secret tunnel! Yeah!

What I learned today *Why be regular boring when you can be boring with slides*

Damn would love how extensive and massive their Tunnel-system has become

The tunnels aren’t secret anymore

*Chinese government wants to know your location*

As a Chinese, I should like to clarofy that the secret tunnel's loca-

In tunnel101, no one ever enters, no one ever leaves.

Well I went to the government of China's website and found their email ( Public info ) - "English@mail.gov.cn" . Let us all email chinese government reminding them of the uighur concentration camps

When your reccomendations is faster than the notifications.

Writer: How edgy do you want it to be? HAI: Yes

Can you also do a video on the russian sub subway tunnels? Or some of the US bunkers?

How the ship got stucked in suez canal ?? A video by you would be fun and informative about that :D

"Whether it big wall or big dam" Xin Jin Ping: intresting i wont censor this "Or this boy with his bi-" *This video was censored by the Chinese goverment*

Why aren't we talking about the guy digging with crocs?

Love the instrumental in this one

Honestly these videos would be a least 5 times more interesting if there weren't any jokes and we were just left with the good educational content

The map at 0:27 is tilted slightly, so it showing the wrong areas as belonging to China

2:50 he says "artillery" like "artillerary" 😂

Just a topic suggestion: Ark Encounter and their many, many issues with Kentucky taxes.

Als erstes Kamera Team der Welt dürfen wir von Galileo die 3000 Km geheime Tunnel Chinas Filmen

I can imagine HAI using stock footage of neuclear bombs after Russia vs USA...

Saying voter id laws among with other legal obligations states have to fulfill (like requiring certain common-place paperwork in order to rejoin voter rolls) is racist, is pretty condescending and can be interpreted in and of itself, racist to us minorities. Just sayin

This is easily one of my favorite episodes 😂😂😂

How come I see these videos on RU-vid before I see them on nebula? What am I missing?
