How did the CCP adapt to the Modern World? | History of China 1989-2023 Documentary 10/10

You finally finished the series. You're one of four channels that made interested in History by giving a different take.

Along with History Matters (The epitome of "answering questions you didn't ask"), The Cold War (giving more interesting events during this period) and African Biographics (where an actual African tells the interesting lives of African leaders)

Great conclusion to an epic historical series. I would like to thank you for your research and hardwork that you put in to this series

[hwg]

Quoting from Falun Gong and amnesty international makes your information reliable SURELY

The video tells a lot of negative little things, even gossip. However, the economic, military and social changes are understated. If history is described by the same standards, then any major state is an evil regime.

[sjsyhm]

what a journey. this is the most epic history series ive seen on youtube.

[VulcanTrekkie]

The fact that you reported Falun Gong propaganda as fact has me very wary about the veracity and neutrality of everything else you've said about China on your channel.

19:21 Minor error--In addition to circling Mauritius, you also circled Réunion which is a French overseas territory. The circle you drew for the Seychelles is waaay to the southwest of the islands' actual location. If you imagine a straight line between Mauritius and Socotra, the Seychelles would be at almost exactly the half-way point on that line

Thank you so much for this series covering the history of China... and really most work you do. Great to see someone properly explain events of such global impact, yet always brushed over by mainstream media. Can't wait for the next!!

Pretty solid, but it gave me pause when you shoehorned that bit about Wuhan Institute of Virology studying coronaviruses and followed it up with a similarly out of place mention of Falun Gong. With the exception of those subjects mentioned above, you gave a really good overview of the major events which shaped China over that period. Perhaps it leaned a bit heavily toward attributing outcomes to intent by those at the top of the party in places, but that's understandable given the CCP's lack of opacity.
So why include the aforementioned talking points? Such a measured approach seems out of character for the rabidly anti-CCP coverage typically associated with "reporting" bankrolled by Falun Gong. And yet, something compelled you to include at least 3 of their favorite talking points seemingly at random. If you're wondering, number 3 is the one about the social credit system. It has long been debunked as a story that originated in the same sort of sensationalist reporting practiced by outlets operated by Falun Gong. An omission like that seems out of place given the well researched nature of the rest of the video.
None of that is to accuse you of anything nefarious. I find it exceedingly unlikely that this whole channel is secretly a Falun Gong front or something. It's just not their style, but it seems evident something or someone associated with Falun Gong is influencing your content. And I find that concerning. Because everything put out by this channel thus far has been exceptionally well researched and entertaining. Neither are qualities I'd associate with media affiliated with Falun Gong. Should you fall under their sway, even under the sway of their media, indirectly, I fear the quality of your content will fall with you. It's hard enough finding reliable English language China content as it is. There is plenty of state-run, fervently pro-CCP content and plenty more zealously anti-CCP content to clash with it. I don't want media whose goal is to convince me about the CCP one way or the other. There's plenty already. All I want is a good-faith effort to inform me about China. You seem to make such an effort. That's unfortunately a rare find. It'd suck to lose it.

To the Sri Lanka point, the take over of the port had nothing to do with the loans. The Chinese had already signed a 99 year lease with the Sri Lankans before loan talks even started.

[HenryElfin]

What a series. It is so rare to see the history of the time that we personally experienced. Thank you for your efforts!

[TheWazzoGames]

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the Taiwanese section of this video early on; The Liu Massacre occurred in 1987 in Taiwan during a period of political unrest when the country was under martial law. On December 15, 1987, four young Taiwanese democracy activists were shot dead by security forces in a police crackdown on an anti-government demonstration in Taipei. You seem to be confusing this event with the Dongyin incident, where Vietnamese refugees were shot dead by Taiwanese security forces, and by the time of that massacre, Taiwan had long since abandoned their nuclear program. They did so in 1983, after international reports had emerged that Taiwan was close to having nukes.

[uhmm]

Jokes about event that didn't happen on June 4th 1989 incoming in 3...2...

[sirwolfnsuch]

I'm gonna binge this series a good couple of times! Hope you're doing well!

[TheSam]

Using fhe FG as a source does not help your credibility at all come on man lol

[autoklashkinov]

bruh Shen Yun is not a reliable source

[justtheilluminativ]

I would love to see a series on the territorial plans of Napoleon, the Confederacy, or the greater land ambitions of countries like the UK, USA, or USSR.

I would also like to see a series called “What If The Loser Won?”, which talks about how the losers of US presidential elections could’ve won and changed history (elections from 1800-2012)

[fredrikjonsson-bjru]

Really like the whole series can’t wait for more

[codyshi]

Jabzy most of your other China series was very well-balanced and well-written. Still, this one is starting to become a bit biased, especially when constantly mentions how the Falun Gong cult was always the victim and they did nothing wrong.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t fully like and support the CPC, but I also don’t like cults including Falun Gong. When has there ever been any good cult in our society or any society?

[maxpis]

your playlist doesn't yet have the 1970-1989 or 1989-2023 parts btw, would be nice if they'd be there
