Then when the capital was moved to Beijing, Beijing grew thanks to reconstruction. In that period, Shanghai was nothing more than a fishing village and didn't become important until the 19th century.

[@Ohimeshinso]

@@jont2576 If you can't spell properly, I operate under the assumption that you're mentally deficient and nothing you say is reliable. Even so, I will still respond. China is in a terrible spot. You could easily RUIN it, and an attempt at doing so would lead to one of three outcomes: they surrender, they use nukes, or they suffer until they revert to a more primitive society or a new government takes over. China is cripplingly reliant on imports for fossil fuels as they burn through exponentially more energy than they produce domestically, and you can block off those imports as well as their exports by blocking a tiny strait. And China's people are often miserable and have low-work ethic as they generally aren't able to do something they're compatible with or enjoy- this is part of why big and oppressive governments don't last particularly long historically. In addition, China's ideology makes it a rather unappealing place to live in the eyes of most people today, so immigration isn't likely to offset the population decline. And old people are liabilities, so if you can't support them, you either have to do away with them and piss a lot of people off or you just suffer and wait. But, regardless, young people don't want to work in China anymore. And they have cripplingly debt So unless something changes, China is going to end up a much smaller nation or a massive ghost town. But, given China's track record, something will probably change. Also, other countries don't hate India on such a large scale and vice versa

China lost 7-8% of its arable land last year, 9% of its potable water, and its harvest was down 30% year-over-year.

If you take the time to literally search up “richest nations within 2050” you will see China will be on every single one of them as China economy is projected to surpass the US within a decade or so. And if you look up “China population 2100” you’ll clearly see their population will remain above a billion or so making them still top 3 just above Nigeria but below india. Either way China population decline it’s population is still gonna be x3 the size of the US 400 million people within 2100 as its population decline isn’t gonna affect its economy as China is literally expected to overtake the US as the richest nation within a decade at most and the richest nation by far within 2050-2100 as its economy is still rapidly growing and will continue to grow rapidly in the future. And also you say the US military is too big to be compared whenever you don’t know that. China military has been extensively growing and rapidly rising as China military is rapidly building up especially after Taiwan. Not to mention their economy is projected to overtake the US, meaning more of their military spending is gonna go to its military as bigger economy/ number 1 economy by 2050-2100 means more military budget and spending. Also I don’t think you’re aware that China’s economy and military has been immensely and extensively growing and building up and rising ever since the 1990’s and it will continue to grow in the future

India often mentioned as "the next China" is still heavily rural and its doctors and engineers leave the country en-masse for UK, US and the EU. Nobody can rival China in the short term, they have nothing to worry about as long as their products are cheaper than American goods and bureaucratic red tape keeps being significantly thinner than the ones in NA/EU.

Brief critique: the main reason for civil wars or “why Chinese kill each other” is because of the deep rooted notion that China should remain unified that stems from the Zhou Mandate of Heaven. That’s why whenever a dynasty collapses, it’s a massive extensive civil war where they all fight for control of the whole of China, rather than each fighting for their own sovereignty, like what happened to other civilizational collapses. 2. Shanghai wasn’t a massive city for most of history. The majority of history, China’s largest city was inland, called Xi’An, or there was also Chengdu, later Beijing. 3. China historically was not a poor country. From the Han Dynasty and ending at the age of industrialism, China (and India) held more than 2/3 of the global economy. China was only poor for abt 2 centuries. 4. China actually has a lot of freshwater. The main issue is China doesn’t have the means to extract it, as the majority of all of China’s massive reserves are in the Tibetan Glaciers. The rest sounds abt right

As a Taiwanese, would like to see a comparison video of S. Korea and Taiwan. With both being East Asian and experience similar economic growth during post WW2 era, would like to see how S. Korea and Taiwan developed so differently nowadays.

[@davidradtke160]

Japan is also similar. Main difference they both have representative governments that can change and adjust plans as well as civil society and press to help reduce corruption. Plus they are smaller with less central planning so they won’t overshoot on good ideas once they stop being good. I think those are some of the core reasons they escaped the middle income trap and I am not sure China will be able to. Single ruler dictatorship are also unstable in the long run which makes it hard to maintain growth long term. When they get old or die there tends to be lots of infighting, power struggles, corruption and chaos that wrecks the economy.

one key issue with this collapse of china stuff (ignoring all the inaccuracies in the video) is that there is no alternative to the CPC. the reason now is different to past chinese civilisation changes is because now the problems a new government would face are enormous, there are so many things that need to be managed that currently only the CPC can do. the CPC is by far the largest government in the world, there is nothing coming from the northern River that could ever replace that

The issue isn't just losing half by say 2100. It is the fact being possible to be half of that with in 2150. As the young single people right now don't feel the need to have children. Russia has had a bit of the same problem. They don't have enough children which will result in a massive lower amount of population in the future.

The Ming didn't start up north tho. The Ming actually started south of China. If you look back at the construction of what was to become the Ming dynasty, they started way back in Jiangxi and Hunan which were both southern territories under the name. "Red Turbans" due to the cloth they wore into battle, like the Yellow Turbans during the Late Han period. So as famine was rife during the Yuan dynasty, Han Chinese rose up and started different sects and groups to launch countless revolts and coups against the Mongolian Yuan dynasty who was at that time ruling China. Out of all the groups like the White Lotus Sect and what-not, the Red Turbans were the biggest and out of them all, there was a fighter who was quite strong and that's Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang started life as a mere peasant in Anhui which technically is still southern China territory where he was born but later became a trainee monk if you will but then due to some... "unforseen error", the Yuan army that's chasing a rebel force went in and torched Zhu's temple down. Fueled with rage of losing some of his friends, masters and most importantly, his home, he went on the warpath himself and joined the Red Turban rebels and soon gained more and more men and trust along the way to become a division commander who would later slam into Nanjing and took it as the capital of his forces before making it the official capital for his new empire after the Yuan collapsed, the Ming. The future Ming emperors would then again relocate the capital to Dadu which would become Beiping and then Beijing again later on which would be at least 2 generations after the death of Hongwu Emperor/Zhu Yuanzhang which Beijing IS in the northern plains of China. But again, the whole "Ming Empire" did not start in the Northern plains of China. They started in the south and worked up north.

[@tohili8308]

As a Chinese person living in Shanghai, I agree with some of the points you made, but there are also some that need to be corrected. Regarding energy, China is gradually transitioning to the new energy industry, reducing its dependence on oil. This includes large-scale nuclear power plants and a large number of new energy electric vehicles. China is unlikely to collapse in the next 20 years, at least, because it still has an absolute advantage in some industries as the world's factory. China's manufacturing industry is shifting towards high-profit electronics, the Internet, and chips, while low-end manufacturing, such as clothing and socks, will be transferred to countries like Pakistan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Our computers and mobile phones will be largely processed and produced in China. Regarding the maritime warfare you mentioned, China has already begun to focus on the development of aircraft carriers and submarines in the relatively weak naval field. I don't think any country other than the United States would dare to confront China directly, as it would come at a huge cost. China is also developing high-end fighter jets, such as the J-20, which is second only to the United States' Lockheed Martin in the field of aerial combat. As for the crises you mentioned, such as the aging population and food crisis, it is possible, as is the social structure. The majority of Chinese people find it difficult to purchase urban real estate due to its high cost, which could be a potential factor for social instability. However, with the birth of China's younger generation post-2000, most Chinese young people have received higher education and can work in high-end design and research positions, such as semiconductor chip design, the Internet, and mobile payments, etc. I personally believe that the so-called China crisis may not begin until after 2050.

Most countries go from a mostly agrarian economy to a factory/production economy at one stage, including Japan, the U.S., UK, etc. But that factory stage never lasts, as the majority of the factories will always eventually move on to the next place with the cheapest cost of labor. Most countries use that factory stage to progress to a first world, post-manufacturing professional economy, so the factory loss is not fun, but not terrible, but not sure China, as a unwieldy dictatorship, is well prepared for that.

China made most of this stuff only for the last few decades, why should the world not be able to diversify again? I still have and stumble across lots of older goods of various kinds made in Europe, US, South America or you name it. Diversification may be a bit more costly, but also is more sustainable and stabilizing the economies because it adds redundancy (yes, this also can be good to a certain amount, lets say in cases when some sources have issues due to conflicts, natural events, ...), increases competition and so on.

[@dietcoke6492]
