@mingmuyiyang8615 5 ай бұрын

I hope Indians can read carefully and experience with their hearts. The huge difference in the founding of China and India determines the biggest difference between India and China. Just look at the modern history of both countries and you will understand. India has been colonized by Britain for more than 200 years. In 1947, Britain experienced World War II, its strength declined significantly, and its status was replaced by the United States. India achieved independence through non violent and non cooperative means. In other words, India's independence has not undergone the test of blood and fire. Such an independent country lacks cohesion, willpower, and a sense of national identity. Now let's talk about China. Since the British defeated the corrupt and incompetent Qing government in 1840, the Chinese people have been living in dire straits. Various disasters and wars followed one after another. At that time, China was very poor and backward, suffering various humiliations. Including the cession of Hong Kong and Macau, Taiwan becoming a Japanese colony, the Eight Nation Alliance setting fire to the Old Summer Palace, and subsequent Japan's comprehensive and brutal invasion of China. In 1931, Japan launched a full-scale invasion of China. From 1931 to 1945, the war lasted for 14 years. The Chinese military and civilians rose up to resist, fought with blood for fourteen years, and suffered 30 million casualties, ultimately achieving victory. Do you know why there are so many casualties in China? There are hundreds of reasons, and I will only give an example of one phenomenon: Chinese troops are in conflict with Japanese troops. Often, if the number of Chinese soldiers participating in the war is 100, they only have 20-30 firearms. The remaining soldiers did not give up resistance or surrender. They bravely fought against the Japanese machine guns and cannons with machetes, steel forks, and wooden sticks until they sacrificed themselves. This spirit of facing death as if returning home and never retreating is the Chinese spirit. 30 million casualties! Do you think this can happen in India? For India, it is zero casualties because their knees are soft. India will soon give up resistance. Do you know why there was the Nanjing Massacre? Due to the desperate resistance of the Chinese military and civilians, they will never surrender or give up. After Japan captured Nanjing, firstly to vent its anger, and secondly to scare off other Chinese soldiers and civilians in resistance. However, the Nanjing Massacre not only did not deter any Chinese people, but also further aroused the resistance of the Chinese people. The establishment of New China has gone through the test of blood and fire. Do you know why the Chinese national flag is red? That's because the establishment of New China was bought with the blood of countless Chinese ancestors, and we Chinese people will always remember it. From 1945 to 1949, during the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan. Originally, the Chinese people thought they could live a peaceful life they had longed for, but in 1950, the Korean War broke out, lasting three years. The Chinese People's Volunteer Army successfully resisted the northward route of the United States without air superiority, sea superiority, outdated army equipment, and extremely poor logistics, at the cost of losing hundreds of thousands of brave People's Liberation Army soldiers. As for India's unforgettable and shameful 1962 Sino Indian War, in the eyes of us Chinese, it was not a war at all. Firstly, it only took 32 days. Secondly, from 1959 to 1961, China experienced the most difficult three years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, during which many people starved to death. In 1962, India's economy far surpassed that of China. Both the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain support India. At that time, India implemented a "forward policy" and attacked China with elite troops. We Chinese people really don't want to go to war. The Chinese troops that participated in the war with India in 1962 were ordinary border defense forces, not regular People's Liberation Army. In China, soldiers are known as the "cutest people". There is a Chinese proverb: without a country, there is no home, and soldiers are the backbone of the country. Thank you to our brave soldiers of the People's Liberation Army who are always ready to defend the borders of our motherland. No matter how India develops its military, it cannot surpass China. Whether in the past, present, or future, China can always defeat India. This is determined by the history and culture of both countries. Chinese people value the spirit of dedication and sacrifice. Do not surrender, do not surrender, vow to resist to the death, and face death as if returning on the battlefield. If Chinese soldiers surrender on the battlefield, it would be a great shame, and the spirit of dying rather than giving up is deeply engraved in the bones of every Chinese person. These are all things that Indians do not possess. So, even now or in the future, India will never be able to defeat China. Now, do you think India can stand tall in the world like China? Absolutely impossible.

If you’re China when it comes to military build up you’re stuck in a dilemma. If you build up your military of course your rivals aren’t going to like that. But if China doesn’t build up its military then it can be exploited by others. This isn’t even speculation, just look at China during the 1800s and 1900s. Warlords took control of the country, foreign powers established their spheres of influence, British opium planted in India flooded their black markets, and then of course Japan invaded numerous times. In other words, if China builds up its military it will be called a threat and if it doesn’t it will be threatened.

@Apple.CC.technomail 5 ай бұрын

There could be a simpler solution though. For example, instead of an aggressive build up they could try a steady and slow military buildup.

Absolute masterpiece. I never thought I’d watch a movie I loved more than Road Warrior and was worried when I heard this was coming out but man I was blown away. I hear people complain about it just being all action and no story but that’s a terrible misrepresentation. It’s an amazing story told with a few words as possible and that sets it apart from most modern flicks. Love George Miller and I hope he keeps the story going!

Could you do a video on the battle of Alaska in World War Two? It was the Japanese invasion launched alongside the battle of Midway. It’s a hugely overlooked part of the pacific war. The American and Canadian forces were outgunned and under supplied, facing a vastly superior Japanese force while equipped with only ww1 gear and ships. If the Japanese succeeded they could have stopped lend lease to the soviets and raided the west coast.

Finally a video on the Chinese army. But why isn’t it an evolution army uniform video like that of the video on the Japanese, French, American, Russian, British, and German army videos? Edit: China's modernization didn't just begin under the communist and after the Korean War, China's army modernization had begun since the Self-Strengthening Movement in 1861, under the Qing Dynasty (China's last imperial dynasty). Ever since the self-strengthening movement, China has adopted western weapons and tactics.

8:03 This one, I feel is more of a case of mistranslation and a different cultural concept for how to classify 'army'. The word in Chinese is 'jun'. This somehow is translated to English to 'Army', which is not accurate since China classifies all top level military organizations to this word. So the more accurate translation should be 'military' or 'armed forces' which is exactly what they are. For comparison, see the Chinese names of the ROC military.

Anyhow, a great documentary, thank you, and keep it up.

These saying about "lack of experience" is popular in China: 1. China lack of experience, but who want to be the sparring? If you can't find the victim, the only thing can do in peace is drill. 2. Asymmetric warfare experience is not PLA need, at least for now. And lot of Chinese military fans think US goes to the wrong way of focusing on asymmetric warfare. 3. Unmaned weapon is a great solution, more sweat for less blood.
