  1. Over 1,400 Chinese scientists have dropped their American university or corporate affiliations and returned to China in 2021, based on their publication records, and 4 in 10 scientists of Chinese descent at elite American universities are considering leaving.

  2. To be brutally honest, China is not lacking of talents at home, their educational system produces 5 million STEM graduates a year, the competition is fierce. And the overseas returnees are no longer favoured like before, they still have to compete with graduates at home. The Chinese tech companies select the best of the best.

  3. Huawei's Ren Zhengfei said in an interview, his motivation (to overcome US sanctions) is patriotism, pure and simple, and I bet that's the motto instilled to the Huawei people. He also once said he was prepared to not to see his daughter for a long time (re the kidnapping by the Canadians on US behalf). Without exaggerating, this is the Chinese spirit in time of crisis: resilience, unity and not afraid to sacrifice for the nation, btw, Ren was a former PLA soldier, he is not your average ''capitalist'' in the West.

  4. Thank you US/West for making China less and less dependent on Western tech. Western tech companies cutting prices in China is not the worst consequence of US/Western tech sanctions against China, when China is able to create its own advanced chips and mass produce them with a much much cheaper cost, the Western tech companies will lose that Chinese market, possibly permanently. That is gonna be painful. The US/West never learns.

  5. Really like your concise and straight to point style, you are telling too much truth Kevin.

  6.  @astroganov  Unlike the US, China has never been a country of immigrants hence citizenship is rarely granted. Point is US even sees and treats its own ethnic minority (Asian Americans, African Americans, all POC etc.) as outsiders, that is the difference.

  9. Has the EU just put extra tariffs on their own brands? Wow, they do like to hurt themselves don't they, lol

  10. The Chinese value safety as one of their top priorities, and also the Western societies have been going through economic and social decline, when a Chinese tech talent can get paid the same wage in China but enjoy the safety, modern infrastructure and lifestyle (major Chinese cities are as developed as any Western major city in most cases more so), then it is a no brainer to work and live in China, and not to mention the anti China sentiments in the West is making the lives of ethnic Chinese very difficult. I am already hearing many second/third generation overseas Chinese want to come and settle back in China.

  11. Maybe should do a video on China's moon landing, amazing achievements.

  12. @ClivesChronicles China has never been interested in conquering and dominating the world, 2000 years ago the Chinese learnt the harms of internal conflicts and wars, part reason why Qin unified China. Then China built walls to keep the invaders out... China has always been an inward looking nation, never sought to expand its (cultural and/or economic) influence beyond its borders, instead foreign countries that admired ancient Chinese culture made their visits through trade routes, they loved Chinese goods too... As you mentioned Zheng He explored Asia and parts of Africa but never sought to conquer foreign lands and people. All Chinese local beliefs promoted the idea ''Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself'', i.e. never to impose its own values and beliefs onto others. So, to understand what China will be like in the future, always first reference how China has behaved in the past.

  13. China doesn't have an ''over-capacity'' problem, the US/West has an overwhelming under-capacity problem, and it can't sanction its way out of this. The US/West is becoming like the late period of Qing Dynasty if not already is.

  14.  @priscillaferguson267  Thanks for your insights. This is very sad to see.

  15.  @astroganov  I don't need to imagine the level of racism in China, anyone who visited and lived in China will know the Chinese treat foreigners/Westerners a million times better than how institutionally racist American society does. Unlike the US, the Chinese society does NOT brew hate and division. It is clear you have little understanding of the Chinese society and its people.

  17.  @davidlazarus67  China is a country where academic achievements and hard work is highly valued regardless gender and ethnicity, and Mao promoted women's rights with the famous saying, ''women hold up half of the sky''. There is true equality for women in the Chinese society and it is easily observed when you visit China.

  18. I really love your channel's contents, great work

  19.  @j.c.4192  Yes. He said in an internal meeting a year after Meng's arrest, ''I am ready to never see my daughter again in this life. Huawei will not sacrifice the interests of the (Chinese) people in exchange for the freedom of my daughter."

  21.  @ssuwandi3240  No, this extra tariffs apply to all EVs manufactured in China, Chinese brands and Western/foreign brands alike. This is not just high duties for foreign cars, these are unilateral sanctions directed at China only.

  23.  @foodparadise5792  No, he is not, well spotted. He is American, first and foremost. But I sense his frustration on the fact that America is losing...on all fronts.

  24. Absolutely correct.

  28.  @ともこともこ-k3r  Qin was a ruthless ruler, I've never claimed otherwise, hence his rule was one of the shortest lived, China before Qin was in constant wars and conflicts (so bad there was a period literally called the Warring States). So bad, Confucius and a number of other philosophers emerged and started to reflect from that period of chaos and instability. Your narrative about Zheng He does not contradict with mine. China never sought to conquer lands and people. But that expedition was a one-off, and ever since that, China remained inward-looking.

  29. @Nekoeye The only reason why China has been behind in the semiconductors is it believed and participated in the Western ''free trade'' (i.e. buying Western technologies/parts), not because they are incapable creating their own.

  30. I still hear Westerners talking about ''Chinese steal US/Western tech'', this is just a racist talking point, Westerners don't want to admit. That is one reason prob the main reason why the US/West didn't bother looking into Chinese tech advancements, until the day they realised they neither have that ''stolen'' tech nor the expertise to even understand how they work. This superiority mindset is why the US/West is losing its competitive edge, the US/West needs its own ''Century of Humiliation''.

  32. Only Americans can fix America, I know this is obvious to say, but I don't see Americans doing enough if I am being polite. There are not enough people like Kevin realising how much of a wrong direction America is going to start with.

  36. They'd rather bury their heads in the sand, facing reality is harsh, since the great American democracy means they have pretty much no say in their gov't policies, the US/West would rather sanction China to suppress its progress than make themselves more competitive. You can't wake up those who pretend to be asleep.

  43.  @Nekoeye  The Chinese are perfectly capable of original innovations, they lead in tech patents filing and many fields of technologies that the US/West doesn't even have. The only reason why China has been behind in the semiconductors is it believed and participated in the Western ''free trade'' (i.e. buying Western technologies/parts), not because they are incapable creating their own. And it has been proven fast enough, Western sanctions based on racism have utterly failed.

  47. Those are very interesting and thought provoking questions you are asking in the video. China has made amazing achievements and progress in a short period of time, am very impressed as a Chinese (been living in the West for over 20 years). The level of development (or the lack of it) in where I live in the West is uncomparable to China, especially in the past decade. China (Beijing to be precise) is still a giant construction site, it always amazes me every time I am back for a visit. I wish you could understand Chinese, then you would be able to get insights from Chinese intellectuals like 翟东升 (Di Dongsheng) , 温铁军 (Wen Tiejun), and others. They have inside knowledge of Chinese gov't economic policies, developmental strategies and on the ground expertise in their each respective field of study, there are teams of experts like them providing advices to the Chinese government's various departments. In one video of Wen Tiejun, he said, many of the infrastructure projects (not limited to transportation infrastructure projects), especially in Western China, were funded by Chinese governmental bonds (a lot of it, many were deducted directly from the wages of governmental employees), i.e. funded by the Chinese people's own savings (China has the highest saving rate in the world). I've never known about that... It is quite easy to conclude why China has been this successful so far, their hard working ethic, their resilience, their positive attitude in the face of difficulties and more.

  48. The charts clearly show that the US has successfully sabotaged the EU's economic progress/prosperity, ''...to be a friend of America is fatal...''

  49. And guess who's been opening up factories and investing in these countries the US is boasting to replace China? China. Because China has the money, the expertise and the connection (within China). And it fits right in with China's BRI project, countries welcome China to do business there, help their economy grow. So on the long run China still benefits and the West's reliance on China's manufacturing is still the same. The US/West is never going to really address their under-capacity problem.
