Because declaring war on Germany wasn't about protecting Poland, it was about laying down some beat down on the Germans before they got too strong

Looking at the thumbnail, you see why India was the crown jewel of the British colonies The rest of the colonies were either sparsely inhibited places like Australia or Canada, or undeveloped places like Africa or Borneo India, otoh, was an entire civilization that was colonized and brought into the empire

 @moozillamoo2109 But they did Kublai Khan and the Yuan dynasty became so Chinese that they were rejected by the other Mongols

 @danielk9422 Which land is China trying to take over?

0:45 wow, those Jade blocks look stunning I know that people traditionally value translucent Jade, but those cloudy gem blocks look magnificent to me You probably won't find Jade that looks like that in real life though

@jeanmiyu6904 Maybe you should reread your own comments "Only Japan and Thailand have been keeping its independence as of 1910"

@dayangmarikit6860 Ah, thank you, I was wondering what they were Still, the examples of polar Jade that I found by Googling don't look as gorgeous as the ones in the picture he used

@dayangmarikit6860 Thanks 🙂

@froglifes6829 The Islamic world was in its golden age at that time, and was a lot more powerful and advanced than Europe If the Mongols could sack Baghdad, they absolutely could have steamrolled whatever hamlet existing in Europe at that time, if they wanted to

@kenh758 Also, you're completely missing the point that for 80% of the population, the cultural revolution had a minimal negative impact on their lives It's not some catastrophic, civilization-ending event that the west tries to portray it to be. People also try to pretend that positive impacts of the cultural revolution do not exist, yet they do For instance, things like mysticism and superstition When I travel to places like HK or Taiwan, I'm amazed by how superstitious some people can be, to the point of being irrational or even downright crazy People I encounter in China are a lot more pragmatic and rational, on the other hand. That's one positive impact of the cultural revolution that China haters have completely ignored, for example

80% Singaporeans live in houses that belong to the government 80% Singapore and eat at government-owned hawker centres at least once a week Singapore is also communist, it just pretends it's not

@danielk9422 "Loan shark tactics"? It's 2023. Are you still regurgitating that Indian-made "Chinese debt trap" propaganda nonsense? It's already been debunked. Numerous times. I would provide sources, but YT deletes comments with HTML links And you still haven't told us which land is China trying to takeover
1
@danielk9422 No, it's not me who thinks it's debunked It's the countless articles that have been written by people smarter than you explaining exactly why "Chinese debt trap" is nonsense But sure, stay stupid, no one can force you to learn Again, you can't tell us which land China is trying to takeover There's a name for what you're doing - bullshit

@abhishekbhaskar6268 Don't be stupid. Tibet and Taiwan have been part of China since the Qing dynasty. You can't take over something that already belongs to you And India is the one making claims based on old colonial maps, it's obvious to any non Indians that India is the shit stirrer in this situation

Yes, I'd very much like to learn more about Malaysia's older history, the parts about Kedah Tua, Langkasuka, Chi Tu, and the rest Those old kingdoms are barely mentioned in Malaysian history books, almost like they don't exist. It's strange that we have to rely on Wikipedia if we want to know more about the history of Malaysia

@jeanmiyu6904 Losing some territory does not = losing independence Countries gain and lose territories all the time You saying that China lost independence because China lost some territory just makes you sound like a crazy China hater
1
@RA10H56 Throughout history countries gain and lose control over territories all the time Saying that China was colonized because they lost control over some territory just makes you sound like an irrational China hater
1
@jeanmiyu6904 No, you're still wrong Just because China lost some territories doesn't mean that "China was nearly semi colonial state" For example, Germany lost German territories in the east to Poland after WW2 Are you going to say that Germany is a colony of Poland?

It's funny how in Islamic countries Muslims are often accorded more privileges than non Muslims, but if a non Islamic country were to implement the same thing in reverse aka giving Muslims in their country less rights than others, it will quickly descend into a shitstorm and they will be quickly labeled as "anti Islam"

Got wrecked by Islam

A lot more than that Even toilet paper and toothbrush were Chinese inventions

@theamericanguy1969 They hadn't made up their minds at that time which is scarier, a strong Russia or a strong Germany
1
@froglifes6829 There's a reason why everyone's telling you that you are wrong
1
@Str1ker793 The reason why we know so little of them today, compared to other nomadic like say the Mongols, is because they were wiped out by the Han dynasty after a war that spanned decades

@kenh758 The effects of the cultural revolution has been greatly exaggerated by the west, as part of its continuous propaganda aimed at demonizing China The negative aspects of the cultural revolution were most keenly felt by middle and upper class urban dwellers, which at that time consisted less than 10% of China's population For the other 80% of the population living in rural areas, life more or less went on as usual
1
@kenh758 How can it affect the entire Chinese civilization when only a small percentage of the population was affected?
1
@kenh758 Huh? "You tell me"? Why should I have to defend your position for you?

@calvinsuu1949 But some people like to claim that Europe would have beaten the Mongols easily because they had castles

Then: people wanted to buy stuff from China Now: people want to buy stuff from China Some things don't change
