Iran's (Persia) first central strong government was 2,550 years old. China and Persia were two grand ancient civilizations.

Before 1949 China was the second largest country in the world, larger than Canada. Once the CCP came into power it concedes land left and right. South Tibet, the size of several Taiwan, was lost to India under Mao's watch (in 1951). South Tibet includes Tawang, birthplace of the Sixth Dalai Lama and home to a four hundred years old Tibetan monastery. In 1987 India made South Tibet a state and renamed it to the so called Arunachal Pradesh. Today South Tibet is restless and India knows it. This is the reason AFSPA is imposed on South Tibet. AFSPA gives the state the power to detain or kill anyone with impunity. It is a law meant to intimidate the locals and suppress dissents. Under AFSPA rape of Tibetan girls and women by Indian jawans are not recognized as a crime. Here is a map of China published by the National Geographic in 1912, clearly showing South Tibet including Tawang part of China. www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:x633f939c Free South Tibet from India! Kick out the Indian invaders from China.

2:07:50 are you kidding? Chinese manufacturers can provide quality products on different levels based on the price you paid, you can't get good product with little money. Lots of Chinese manufacturers don't like to do business with Indian and African businessman because they can't afford high-quality products, you should know the facts and reason. You have to realize that Africa is not like rich countries in the west can exchange value-added services or products with China, so why do you have such confidence to demand from China? Mouth power can't change your fate, you have to do something, your so-called westernization only lies in superficial language and law system, but which impedes African development, if you are like a primitive computer, you can't run advanced softwares, so don't be stupid and ignore common sense.

I'm from Africa and i think the problem with most Africans is lack of critical thinking skills due to the colonial education system that we still have in place in most African countries. Even the so-called intellectuals are still very much colonised mentally. They view China and the rest of the world through the lenses of their western slave masters. Africa will experience true progress when the African mind is decolonized!

@@vickyouko2490 African has to understand China and Chinese people have no interests colonizing or occupying Africa, racially, Chinese doesn't like dark-skinned race, which is not racism but aesthetic tradition, historically, China as a country had no intention to invade other race or country, and China is already big enough and a challenge to manage; Chinese government expressed clearly that China likes to be more involved with business and infrastructure with Africa and to benefit both sides. "Even the so-called intellectuals are still very much colonised mentally. They view China and the rest of the world through the lenses of their western slave masters." I like what you said and this is true, these African elites think they are "white" and they can bargain like real "white", which is a very stupid and retarded logic. All people should "decolonized their mentality from the west", we can learn from them because they are still leading the world, but what you said is absolutely fantastic!

Martin Jacque, during the Mao era, China fully embraced marxist communism in which literary speaking, everything is belong to the country including the people. The great leap forward purely on the doctrine of marxism does not work well with the Chinese psyche because there is no incentive to work hard. That was the reason it failed. The cultural revolutuon which was a political.power struggle period in which many lives were lost. Those were the pre-1976 era. The post 1976 era was the begining of the capitalist system with Chinese character. The rest is history in the making to the envy of the Americunt.

[@ag7075]

What a load of rubbish. China may rise but she will fail. Her failure is guaranteed because of the lies, corruption, and cruelty inherent in communism. I pity its people and all who come under CCP rule. Lord Jesus have mercy.
