Here is an article I encourage everyone to read.
“China Has A Long History of Non-aggression
Aningo (Malaysia)
I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.
When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan conquered China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.
Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium.
After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:
1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free.
2. Make opium legal in China.
Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.
In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.
In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone.
Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time.
Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his famous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies.
The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from.
In just 30 years, the CCP have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.
For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported.
They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.
They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.
They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.
When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:
1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.
2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.
China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.
During the pandemic, when China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.
Western Media always have reasons to bash China.
Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CCP is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good.
Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.
They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars?
When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.
The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.
China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world.
I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.”

What also puts me off is, she keeps saying “we shouldn’t demonize China”, yet at the same time she keeps ranting frantically how big China a threat China is. Her narrative is no different than her fear mongering government.
Then she frantically denounced how US should not adopt China/s way to contain the virus, to prove her fear further, she went on about Chinese are buying business and lands in US, so American should feel afraid of China. Whatever she mentioned is not what the US government’s most concern on China’s rise, because Japanese did that too in the 80s purchasing American landmarks and business.
She wants to paint China in a fearful image in order to persuade people that “we are not China” then she kept frantically suggest that China is here to take our freedom. She needs some medication to calm herself down, Because China could care less if anyone is adopting her way, but China welcomes exchange of ideas for mutual learning. On international community,, China is famous for no intervention on other countries sovereignty unless that country seeks for help from China.
Kim should be more worried about her own government forcing its.ideologies ‘freeDUMB demoCRAZY’ onto other countries by dropping bombs and through all kinds of violent wars and coups.

I can’t stand listening to Kim, she bitches about war monger and fear mongering, yet she is doing exactly the same! And she believes all the groundless accusations US government accuses China, and she outright said China is a ‘threat’ and China is building military bases, and China would try to impose her system onto US if US goes to war with China?! What the hell is Kim smoking? She is really making a baseless wild assumption that sounds like out of her own fiction book. She has some issues of reality check. China only has one military base, and that’s not even a military expansion, that’s for security. China building S China sea artificial islands, man purpose is to ward off US imperial expansion in that area, US trying to exploit the dispute in that area and instigate conflicts in that area, it’s goal is to create conflict between China and other countries, so other countries would hate on China and align with US’s imperial agenda.
Technically US has no damn business in S China sea territory? Why the hell US wants to intervene? Because US wants to control the sea water territory, so it surrounded with its allies to contain China’s growth.
Why is everyone including Kim think it’s legitimate to disrupt human from thriving ? It’s extreme inhumane to disrupt a civilization from thriving, why is it okay for the west to dominate and thrive, but it’s labeled as ‘threat’ when China is thriving?
Why no one is recognizing this is purely motivated by RACISM! It’s just no one DARES to spell it out for you, because the west is the most self entitled pretentious hypocrites, including Kim! 🤬

@whiteemerald1083
China Mainlanders and Beijing have been very warm and kind to Taiwan, China granted many special privilege for Taiwan business, trading and general people who visits mainland. Taiwan GDP almost half comes from mainland, Taiwan economy is heavily depending on China. But Taiwan is a big disappointment under the current DPP party, who advocates for Taiwan independence. DPP is a extremely corrupt party, the sitting politicians are in their position to profit themselves, they are not in for the people of Taiwan, they sowed the seeds of hatred toward China mainland and their own ancestry inheritance, they have no moral principle, they play very dirty politics in order to gain power and profits. Their anti China Campaign would go as far as dehumanizing mainlanders,
DPP politicians prohibited any mask to be shipped to mainland during the height of pandemic in mainland. their obsessive anti Mainland Campaign. Has succumbed them abandoning any basic moral compass humanitarian assistant. They have violated humanity due to their dirty politics.
Taiwan is a sneaky nasty litter cheap mistress colonial slave willing to be pawned and exploited by the west and the Japanese, they are a bunch of self loathing self racists, they hate their Chinese inheritance, this is how they’ve been deeply brainwashed by the traitor party DPP who is the lapdog of the Japanese and the west.
Taiwan does a lot of back stabbing dirty politics on China mainland, ganged up with Japan and the west anti China campaign to demonize China mainland, and supported HK terrorist insurrection movement in 2019.
You sound extremely ignorant about the politics of Taiwan and history of China.
Taiwan is part of China, end of story.
if Taiwan violates One China Policy which is officially recognized internationally, China would do anything to protect and defend its territory and sovereignty.
China has made it very clear where the red line is, to the infamous separatist USA and its allied.
Grow some basic human decency and integrity before you bitch about your motherland China.

Why is this world so critical of China with outrageous groundless accusations on China, and no one country or international communities dare to hold US accountable for much worse and much more horrible records of violation on human rights domestically and internationally?
Why aren’t people SERIOUSLY asking this question?
China hasn’t involved any war for 40 years, yet US and other western nations constantly at wars with other countries, killing civilians of other countries, are they not horrific human right violations? This world is a upside down moral largely manipulated by the west propagandas, west is the mastermind of subtle propaganda that infiltrate onto people cognitive consciousness, whom those brainwashed think they are the only one is not brainwashed, yeah right...! 🤔
The fear and taboo for Communism that American politicians asserts deeply into American consciousness is downright morbid brainwashing itself, it has become a mental phobic diseases . It’s very unhealthy to fear something like that and afraid to approach with a healthy understanding. But US government does want Americans to be afraid of Communism, so they can hate on China, and Americans are obeying the fear very well. It’s like your parents tell you not to talk to someone because they are ‘bad’, but maybe it’s the problem of your parents.

@alterna19
I haven’t listened to her channel for quite some time, I don’t know how much her view on China-US relations has evolved lately.
She does seems to have the will to learn. but I would suggest she tone down her assertion when she should be aware and humble that her knowledges about China, history, economy, military, financial sector and broader international geopolitical are not adequate, that way she can have open minded dialogue without jumping into wrongly assessed criticism and judgement.
I don’t know her field of profession and training, but after I listened to her commentaries of her channel, I don’t believe she is professionally trained in many fields that she intends to explores on.
And I encourage her to listen to broader sources, which are readily available on YT, these are just a few:
Asian Peace Talks with Kishore Mahbubani E4, Perception with China in US, with George Yeo.
Munk Dialogue with Zhang Wei Wei
iNET with Jeffrey Sachs, America vs Everyone
Richard Wolff, Global Capitalist: The challenge with China (July 2021)

Kim sounds so forceful and assertive, like she really knows that much about world geopolitics, smh!
Kim, you make US sound so innocent, like all China does is by robbing US, and you said China will be world military power, what the heck are you talking about?! US has 800 military bases, China has one in Africa, that!s not a military expansion, that’s for security purpose. If someone listens to you about China, they will be terrible MISinformed.
As a bilingual myself, I have access to all sources of information and able to cross examine them with Chinese and English, it’s painful to listen to your half ass commentary about international and geopolitical subject matters, you are neither an expert of economy nor politics, I don’t know your academic background, but your analysis sounds like street smart talks, that’s about it.
As you keep stressing China is ‘not’ our enemy, or let’s not demonize China, blah blah blah...!. Yet listen to you and your tone, you keep reminding China is a ‘threat’, keep asserting fear into your audience mind, you are the fear monger you keep accusing others of.

She’s uncover of the American Imperial hegemony, just listen to her.
She’s also a racist, saying to fear China just because China is competitive and a great planner, why does the Chinese not have the FREEDOM tonTHRIVE?! Is it a western privilege to thrive and gain power? Is it not the BADIC human right for another country to thrive and become powerful?
Like in any healthy competition, you don’t fear and demonize your competitor, this is BASIC sportsmanship in all competition, yet everyone forgets sportsmanship when it comes to China, all decency and being what’s right all out the door when it comes to China, the west and the whole obsessive Anti China Campaign is deep down motivated by RACISM and XENOPHOBIC and DEHUMANIZATION. You’ll have to dehumanize someone to throw out all your conviction that you preach all day long, yet Jim becomes the very person she preaches abc accuses, Shame on her!

Communism has nothing to do with democracy or political system, it’s originated for ECONOMIC system, omg, how misinformed most Americans are.
Kim, I really wish you learn more about China’s system. China does have gradual lower governmental election, though not widely practiced by general population, but those democratic process are implemented and readily apply.
Any wise system DOES NOT rush to ‘copy and paste western model of ‘demoCRAZY’, it would be political suicide and end up with cult like populist Mob politics, look at Trumpism and Nazi and other Fascism. A fairly newly founded country PRC in 1949, it was dirt poor ground war torn zero nation, people were struggling to feed themselves and picking up broken pieces of livelihood, the very enemies who invaded China were the west countries, now they are preaching and bitching China not having the luxury of democracy?! DemoCRAZY is a luxury for the west, not a country like China, the most and foremost important thing for the people of PRC is building stability and prosperity, thus eradicating poverty is China’s national priority.
You need to have a widely stable, prosper and literate educated population and society first, look at US, all emotional and conspiracy charged mass population supported Trump, destabilize society descending to chaos and violence, are you telling me this is the American demoCRAZY model China show follow? Yes, you are CRAZY, too much demoCRAZY you Americans consumed! 😂😂😂
PRC under the leadership of CPC, is among the most liberal left at its time, equal pay for equal work for women and men was immediately made into China’s Constitution in 1949, while the west women are still fighting for equal pay for over a century. It’s laughable how much Americans think they are so advanced in thinking, yet in some ways, Americans are the most rigid conservative countries in the world, too many religious nuts and obsessed by identity politics. You should learn how others view Americans and the world, then you would have a better broader objective world view, otherwise you will be forever confined in your own circle of thinking, the American Centric thinking.
Please get properly informed.

@wjumeau
Neither do you, since you open the Pandora Box, let’s talk about HISTORY, shall we?!
US and most west and Japan rose by robbing and killing other countries blind through Colonialism and Imperialism. US genocide American Natives and has been to wars since its founding the country, through US history there are only 16 years US were not at wars, and US is still at wars and killing millions of civilians due to its ongoing wars.
China was literally robbed blind by the west, especially the British and Japanese collaborated with US military occupation in China for 150 years. The west and the Japanese enriched by robbing and genocide Chinese to ground zero. This is how Communism won the Chinese civil war and founded PRC, declaring in PRC New China inauguration that the China would never bow and succumb to Colonialism and Imperialism, mark those words, China is serious about protecting its sovereignty and territory, even though US and its 5 Eye Alliance gang trying very hard to intervene China’s domestic affairs through proxy wars, separatism, regime changes in HK, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet, US is drooling over China’s territory and basically the whole world with its aggression imperial hegemony. Anyone doesn’t bow to US Imperial hegemony, they get sanctioned, sanction and sanctions, US abuses its power by sanctioning left and right countries who don’t bow to its bully.
China has not involved in any war for 40 years, yet US is still at war and killing people around the world, including putting it’s own troops in harms way.
China’s foreign policy is principled by ‘No interference of other countries sovereignty, no imposing its ideologies onto other sovereignty’, but make no mistake, China would defend vigorously if you dare to cross the red line of her sovereignty and territory.
I absolutely agree we shouldn’t ignore history, in fact we should learn from history and not repeating bad history, China is doing just that, and US is still repeating same history as the British Colonial mindset, still at war as we speak. What has US learned from its atrocious and bloody past?! NONE!

Kim, China is not a West Country with aggression and imposing their way of life or ideology onto others, you should inform yourself with knowledge of Chinese history before you made such a broad assumption that somehow China would come in and take over, you are so clueless and ridiculous. Chinese history through thousands of years, even at the height of its power, did not initiate to invade any neighboring territories, unless she was invaded or attacked, and won the battles. even so, China never forced or intended to convert beliefs onto others, unless overtime of exchange of influence.
Those assumption you made are based on western history of aggression and imposing conversion on others, such as religions.
The new religions being weaponized by the west today is. the lamest ‘freeDUMB and demoCRAZY’.
