This rise of China should not come as a surprise because it is just a return to the norm … China was the largest economy in the world for at least part of every century except the 20th century. US/Western dominance is more of an aberration.

[amindra]

Historically, in 1510, China and India had 68% of World GDP! Due to invaders; these two ancient nations became destitute!

Though the video isn't a recent one, all the new innovations are. Things improve by the days, and Martin's speech is just the projection of what China’s stand today. Whether you like it or not, she is marching on. To keep pace with her, you have to pursue a similar path, not destructive but innovative.

The contents of this useful video is outdated so far as China is concerned. Five years hence, lots have been changed and much advances have been taken place but little is reported in the West for obvious reason!

[ayushsoni]

china growth is impressive and inspiring

[matsforsberg]

I was the first transit- tourist in China 02/29 1979. In 5 days in Peking/Beijing there was not ONE private car. And only ONE hotel

[tayoz]

ON THE COMMENTS, I SEE A LOT OF WESTERN JEALOUSY! :))

[Therightlocation]

This is 2019 speech...Let us talk about now.... Chinese people are humble and hard working people. They also smart....

[謝元-od]

2018 video is a bit old to be uploaded without notes.

[al-akhirah]

He is saying everything what we heard 5 years ago.

[Monitor]

*I think the Chinese workers work 60 hours per week in general. They work even on Sunday. This is why the GDP and economy of China grows so fast. Am I right ?*

[urimtefiki]

I am done with creativity, never again in my life.

[yaoypl]

2019 that is next year? Hey, this is a very old video. In this day and age, you must show the latest things.

[irenekemah]

China has learned that out sourcing parts of production isn't good.

The Chinese have been inventive and innovative *for thousands of years.* Larry Romanoff published an article entitled "History of Chinese Inventions–The Present and the Future–Recent Chinese State of the Art Innovations." Here's the abstract:

_China as a nation has the longest and by far the vastest record of inventions in the history of the world. It is now reliably estimated that more than 60% of all the knowledge existing in the world today originated in China, a fact swept under the carpet by the West._

Here's a brief excerpt (I encourage you to read the entirety of this long article):

*We were all taught in school that the printing press with movable type was invented in Germany by Johannes Gutenberg in about the year 1550. Not so. China not only invented paper but also the printing press with movable set type, which was in common use in China 1, 000 years before Gutenberg was born. Similarly, we were taught that Englishman James Watt invented the steam engine. He did not. Steam engines were in widespread use in China 600 years before Watt was born. There are dated ancient texts and drawings to illustrate and prove the Chinese discovered and documented “Pascal’s Triangle” 600 years before Pascal copied it, and the Chinese enunciated Newton’s First Law of Motion 2, 000 years before Newton.*

*The same is true for thousands of inventions that the West now claim as theirs but where conclusive documentation exists to prove that they originated in China hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before the West copied them. It was not for nothing that Marco Polo is described in China as “Europe’s great thief”. The next few paragraphs are adapted mainly from information in Temple’s book, which I strongly recommend.*

*The Chinese invented the decimal number system, decimal fractions, negative numbers, and the zero, so far in the past that the origin is lost in the mists of time. The Chinese tracked sunspots and comets with such detail and accuracy that these ancient records are still used as the basis for their prediction and observation today. The Chinese were drilling for natural gas about 2, 500 years ago, wells 4, 800 feet deep, with bamboo pipelines to deliver the gas to nearby cities. The Chinese pioneered the mining and use of coal long before it was known in the West. Marco Polo and Arab traders marveled at the “black stone” that the Chinese mined from the ground, that would burn slowly during an entire night.*

*China had printed paper money almost 1, 500 years ago, done in ways to prevent counterfeiting. Wrapping paper, paper napkins and toilet paper were all in general use in China 2, 000 years before the West could produce them. They were the first to invent and develop a full mechanical clock with a true escapement, many centuries before the Swiss had done so. The Chinese invented an ingenious seismograph still in use that tells not only the severity but the direction and distance of earthquakes. The Chinese invented hot-air balloons, the parachute, manned flight with kites, the wheelbarrow and matches. They invented hermetically-sealed laboratories for scientific experiments. They invented belt and chain drives, the paddlewheel steamer, the helicopter rotor and the propeller, the segmental-arch bridge. They invented the use of water power and chain pumps, the crank handle, all the construction methods for suspension bridges, sliding calipers, the fishing reel, image projection, magic lanterns, the gimbal system of suspension. China not only invented spinning wheels, carding machines and looms, but was the world’s leader in technical innovations in textile manufacturing, more than 700 years before Britain’s 18th century textile revolution.*

*Chinese expertise with fine porcelain was so advanced millennia ago, that even today it is admitted their ability has never even been equaled in the West, much less surpassed. The Chinese discovered not only magnetism but magnetic remanence and induction, as well as the compass. They invented gunpowder, smoke bombs, the cannon, the crossbow, plated body armor, fireworks, flamethrowers, grenades, land and sea mines, multi-stage rockets, mortars and repeating guns. China had irrigation canals that were also used for transport, and the Chinese invented the canal locks that could raise and lower boats to different levels 1, 500 years before the Americans built the Panama Canal. China has earthquake-proof dams functioning today that were built around 250 BC.*

This speech was in 2018.
Seems like now in 2024 he's correct.

[BrunoHeggli-zpnl]

Asia doesn't rise at all!It's over!

[realfacts]

Is this a brand-new speech by Matin Jacques or an old one?

[macallanvintage]

The biggest issue is the refusal to admit that your own economy and society had collapsed, and you are no longer the No1 you hv advertised yourself to be..

[elizabethtyler]

They used to say everything was invented there.
