Hello. Just one *correction* if I may : @15:57 _".... a wave of Jesuits brought astronomy, mathematics, geography to China"_ *Actually it was the other way around.* _See below for 3 external authoritative sources for reference._ First, a summary : According to the *Cambridge university* in England, at least half of ALL the fundamental inventions and discoveries in the *ENTIRE* world were made by one single country, and which happens to include all the 3 fields you quoted. That country is China!! *In other words, China's contribution was more than the rest of the ENTIRE world COMBINED (including the Greeks, Indians, etc).* This Cambridge university in-depth research is endorsed by the United Nations (UNESCO). In case if anyone is interested to investigate further, here are 3 sources : *(1)* _"Science and Civilization in China Series" published by Cambridge University Press in 7 volumes._ *(2)* _"The Genius of China" by Professor Robert Temple._ ( ... this book is endorsed by the United Nations, and was translated by UNESCO into 43 different languages). *(3)* _"The Chinese scientific genius" (UNESCO Courier, Oct, 1988 by Robert K.G. Temple)_ For those interested, I would recommend the 2nd source. The book is very readable. It has won many international awards including top prestigious international awards, and as mentioned above, was officially endorsed by the United Nations (UNESCO), and translated into 43 different languages by UNESCO. The book's forewords were written by the very person who headed that Cambridge university research : Dr Joseph Needham, who was one of the founders of UNESCO.

@@standbae Speaking of race, which race on earth that is more consistent as far as physical features appearance go? Look at the Chinese-looking people be it the Inuits of Greenland, the Nenets of Siberia, natives of Alaska, the Mongolians, Tibetans, Manchurians, Koreans and Japaneses, their eyebrows are consistently away and above their upper eyelids. For the males, I would say they are 99.9% consistent, and for females (X -chromsomes), 100% consistent. As a human species, at least the Chinese ancient pictures portrayed how a Chinese look like thousands of years ago, can you say the same of Jesus Christ, was he bearded or was he black? I would say Chinese history is more consistent in depicting their appearances and facts rather than saying more logical.

@@Justalazyduck I am an Chinese living in USA for 25 years, being fluent in both Chinese and English, I can tell that it is very hard for a westerner to learn Chines. Chinese is a different language from western languages, western ones are alphabetical language, Chinese, on the other hand is an character language, like a picture. For example, mountain, 山, look like the rolling peaks. Some chinese characters can get very complex, like sneeze, 嚏. To be honest with you, without copying, I cannot write out 嚏. Western language, to me they are more similar, being understand English, I found out that it is not hard to get an glimpse of Spanish, German, French. So there is no shortcut on learning Chinese, try to remember all these characters (kind of picture). On the simple part, Chinese is a very assemble friendly 😄😄language. Fro example, when we talk about the floating vehicles, there are many, many and they all are not related, like boat, ship, (oil) tank, (aircraft) carrier, kayak, conee, battleship, cruiser, destroyer and on and on, each of these has to occupy one brain memory cell. For Chinese it is much simpler, 舟 general water vihecle, 独木舟 (canoe) 船 civilian water vihecle, 邮船, 帆船, 游船舰 military ship, 巡洋舰(cruiser), 驱逐舰 (destroyer) So in Chinese, you only need to remember three characters, 舟船舰 and by combination, you could assemble all these words, they occupy much less memory of your brain. Chinese is hard, but we learn it not because it is easy, we learn it because it is interesting, plus Chinese food is better, right? Enjoy your journey.

The Subjugator might force their identities their culture (even their DNA) onto China but at the same time, China seeps into them, until eventually, they've become the next China, more nuanced and more expansive than the last, recognisably different, yet in some ways, same as it's always been.

There is a fundamental mistake in this video, which is how to define Chinese people. Westerners have a significant misunderstanding in that they believe Chinese people are only the Han ethnicity, which is not the case. Chinese people refer to all ethnic groups living in China, including the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, and so on. All Chinese people are also collectively referred to as the Chinese nation or the Huaxia nation. Individuals whose ancestors were once Chinese but who have become citizens of other countries can still be referred to as part of the Chinese nation, but not as Chinese people. It is important to understand that Chinese people refer to nationals of the country, while the Chinese nation refers to a concept that encompasses cultural heritage and bloodlines.

After conquering surrounding tribes, they established dynasties and then went through the changes of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties. During this period, China's state was similar to a federal state, like today's United States and Russia. It is important to note that at this time, China had already formed a country, existing in the form of a state entity. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, a federal state called the Qin State forcefully annexed the other six states, thus ending China's federal state form and establishing a centralized state form, which has continued to this day for more than 2,000 years.

The emergence of Chinese characters predates 5000 years ago very much.The Chinese character "姓（means family name）" consists of "女（mainly means female）" and "生（usually means birth）". It can be seen that the Chinese characters appeared as early as in the matriarchal society, and by the Yan and Huang Dynasties (about 5000 years ago), a mature writing system had been formed (according to the Folktale “Cang Jie's creation of characters”and some cultural relics)

这可能是一种正确的分析。母系氏族社会下，人的名字可能需要包含其母亲的身份信息。所以这个字似乎可以被解释为这个人是某个女人或者某个部落的女人所生。这是早期姓氏产生的方式，后来更多的姓氏则来源于地名，器物，自然现象，官职，职位等的社会属性和自然物质，也有些自主的随机选择。奇特的是只有极少数汉字是专属的姓氏名称，而这类姓氏的祖先通常都是帝王或者高级统治者。因为只有这些人的身份和其家族是独一无二的，而社会定位和自然属性则是任何人都可以替代和使用的。

The end footage is pretty misleading. China faced much bigger lost of lives due to Violence than the Cultural Revolution, The Five Barbarians Upheaval, An Lushan Rebellion, Taiping Rebellion, and WW2 Japanese Invasion. As bad as Cultural Revolution was, 'only' 1M died. People always confused the Great Leap Forward famine (40M) deaths with Cultural Revolution which are 2 different things. China throughout the history has faced plenty of famine deaths and Great Leap Forward was one of the worst but it doesn't equate death due to Violence.

I don't believe millions killed during cultural revolution. The Red guards were mere unarmed teenagers that were not trained to kill like military armed forces. How on earth could they have killed millions of people? It's just unsubstantiated propaganda from the west that tens of millions of people were killed during cultural revolution. Millions were sent to the countryside for re-educational and reform. If we were look at Chairman Mao's motive for starting the cultural revolution, it could have been related to the nuclear weapons program of China during that era. China successfully detonated the atomic bomb in 1964. Since then there're threats from the US and allies to invade China to dismantle china's nuclear weapons program. The cultural revolution could have been a ploy to divert attentions away from its nuclear weapons program. And true enough the West paid close attention to the cultural revolution and delayed in launching an invasion into China. That gave China sufficient time to fully develop its hydrogen bomb and successfully detonated it in 1967. With the success of developing the hydrogen bomb, the threats from the US and western allies were no longer there. And after China fully completed its nuclear weapons and delivery system and well hidden away in the mountains, Chairman Mao himself ended the cultural revolution in 1969. It's wasn't a power struggle that started the cultural revolution as some have asserted because Chairman was fully in control of China. He even released Deng siao peng from prison and restored him back to his former position. A closer look at the situations back then, the cultural revolution could have been related to the nuclear weapon program at that time.

"History of the Suí dinasty", chapter 84: The superiority of the Göktürks is in their cavalry and archers. When they are in a winning position, they advance with fury; but when danger comes, they withdraw with the speed of the wind, and disappear like lightning, without preserving order. Bows and arrows serve them as claws and fangs. Helmet and cuirass are their usual attire. Their detachments do not go in order, their camps do not stand still. They stop wherever they find grass and water; rams and horses provide food for their army. If they win, they stop and seek the wealth of the enemy; if they are defeated, they withdraw without any shame. They do not burden themselves with night duty, nor do they keep watch during the day; they do not waste their strength in building fortifications, or in storing provisions. But when Chinese soldiers go to war, they [Göktürks] behave very differently. If the Chinese enter the battle with the Göktürks, they [Chinese] rarely win. If we begin to imitate them now, if we adapt to their means, they will not be able to overcome us, and they will not attack us again. - Emperor Yang of Suí
