The Explosions of China

Back in 2016 when the one child policy was lifted, we asked our lecturer if him and is wife and excited and he basically said no matter how much the government will try step in with benefits. Most people have been scared by the massive cost in raising their kid that they would never consider it

Brief critique: the main reason for civil wars or “why Chinese kill each other” is because of the deep rooted notion that China should remain unified that stems from the Zhou Mandate of Heaven. That’s why whenever a dynasty collapses, it’s a massive extensive civil war where they all fight for control of the whole of China, rather than each fighting for their own sovereignty, like what happened to other civilizational collapses. 2. Shanghai wasn’t a massive city for most of history. The majority of history, China’s largest city was inland, called Xi’An, or there was also Chengdu, later Beijing. 3. China historically was not a poor country. From the Han Dynasty and ending at the age of industrialism, China (and India) held more than 2/3 of the global economy. China was only poor for abt 2 centuries. 4. China actually has a lot of freshwater. The main issue is China doesn’t have the means to extract it, as the majority of all of China’s massive reserves are in the Tibetan Glaciers. The rest sounds abt right

LOVE your presentations. You break down history, politics, trade, economics, and demographics down to the "lowest common denominator" so that even people like me can comprehend. The use of animals to illustrate and represent countries/nations is brilliant. Look forward to your next presentation.

"You know the old saying: china is whole again, and then it broke again" This channel got another sub

18:05 The "350-400% of GDP" figure for Chinese debt also includes private and corporate debts, while the 140% figure for the US is only government debt. If you count total debt in the US, it's also pretty close to 400% of GDP.

The part about half the country drying up rings true for the US, too. Aquifers refill about 1" per year and we drain them at the rate of something like 12 feet per year. Anybody who relies on aquifers right now is in for a bad time.

Given the demographics trends, I’m starting to think the Panda being Chinas animal representative is looking more and more fitting.

4:01 "The city has always been China's largest" not quite. During the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was the largest when its population grew over 400,000 in 1400. Then when the capital was moved to Beijing, Beijing grew thanks to reconstruction. In that period, Shanghai was nothing more than a fishing village and didn't become important until the 19th century. Beijing is more important as it is the historical, cultural, and political center of the nation.

It honestly does feel at times that China is “speedrunning” everything

Love the way you make your videos keep it up!

A man who talks about economics and Logistics instead of waffling on about politics all day. Well sir it seems you've won my heart and my subscription.

The internet means so many people forget, including myself, that the physical structure of a land still matters just as much today as it did in the past. Very nice video, very interesting.

Such a beautiful video loved all the scenes of you and maksym having fun. One of the best unicycle videos I’ve seen in a while good job

Wow your art is amazing! Love from China♥️🎉🎉This is a comprehensive video🎉

First OUR neighbour Russia and now OUR China??? The CCP wants to know your location

I know it's already happening but it's crazy to imagine all these new buildings and infrastructure popping up and then being empty and unused within 3-4 generations because of population and economical collapse

This was a great video people get caught up on numbers with no context like gdp. Much nicer when you break it down in comparison to debt and what makes uo the gdp.

It's a wonderful world, and China has been switching back and forth between the China collapse theory and the China threat theory.
