Cold War - China [E15/24]

Brilliant Series! As a 30 yr old today. It’s a rare treasure to discover such a series. Thanks for uploading

no series on Cold War will ever be so balanced and well narrated like this.

'Its right to rebel' says Mao. Well lets see the Chinese try that now...

mao's voice is funny lmao

11/10 interviews in this docu series. Not to make it too precious, but it’s like a time capsule. From everyday citizens to leaders and government officials, to Fidel Castro and Hugh Hefner.

They just traded one emperor for another...

I expected Mao to have a deeper voice than the voice from recording

Brilliant documentary series, one of the best of its kind. I watched so many times.. just look China in 2022. .. absolutely astonishing...

An A-Bomb that has Made In China written on it. Now that's a scary thing. lol

Laughing about the translations of "old boot" and "old galosh"! Thanks for the heads up about what NOT TO call the Chinese old folks in my neighborhood! :-) (PS...they are wonderful people and neighbors whom I respect very much, I call them "Grandpa" and "Auntie" in Chinese, they don't know a lot of English.)

38:30 First he shits on the Americans and the West and now magically he wants better relationship with them? Nice meme Mao, nice meme.

How sad people fought so hard for an illusion that never brought their dreams.

Am preparing my one year plan to land the girl of my dreams. Isn't that a great leap forward? 😁😁

That guy complaining about the Russians throwing the bill at them I say: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Lol

I remember Mao he was a cool guy we were friends n all, we text messaged each other a lot....thank god for google translate.

This documentary really interviewed lots of famous Chinese dissidents in exile!

How quickly the Chinese forgot the US supplied and helped them against the Japanese in WW2

theres no mentioning of china us and taiwan relations

Kruschev wearing a dark hat with a pale suit. The humanity...

28:29 -- They put protective gear on the horses. That's probably the only thing I will take away from this video in the long-term.

MAO: "Ok, now that we won, I'm going to still kill, oh I don't know, about 50,000,00 of you guys."

Russia - "We're the Marxists" China - "No we're the Marxists!"

In episode about Korean war it was said that 500k Chinese troops went to Korea. Now in this episode I hear 1 million. WTF authors? Very inconsistent.

45:35 These particular individuals are *ideologically* responsible for crimes against humanity during the Vietnam War, the result of applying Merchant-class accounting principles to matters of warfare. They measured military success in terms of the number of enemy killed, to achieve victory within a certain timeframe, and minimise the resources consumed. This was *supposed* to avoid the repercussions of a long drawn-out conflict, and thereby secure their own political futures. But as with *any ideology that is fundamentally corrupt the end result is always the extreme opposite of that intended* - millions of civilian deaths, a long drawn-out conflict, and then ultimately losing that war. As outlined in this scene, the only other history they achieved was *(perhaps unintentionally)* establishing the basis for transferring millions of jobs, from - countries with a certain degree of labour freedom, to - a Country where labour is completely controlled by the government. Because their Working-class had already been *somewhat* uplifted through that labour freedom - it is *ironic* that these countries have *damaged* that Working-class in order to increase Merchant profits. By allowing their jobs to be transferred to a Country whose mass-murdering anti-spiritual ideology has also killed millions - *supposedly* to uplift the Working-class, but *ultimately* to just increase those profits. Which is also the *extreme opposite* of the result intended. But such ideological failures *does not* mean all who fought in these conflicts are automatically guilty of crimes and deserve contempt. Because they may *actually* have fought in a dignified way under the extreme circumstances of warfare - kzhead.info/sun/o7ptqaWkrHqCeHA/bejne.html. Even if they did not and are guilty of crimes the only acceptable response for them is *Compassion.* Either for the suffering they are *already* experiencing as a result of that, or the suffering they will *have* to experience in subsequent lives if they fail to achieve a Genuine Spiritual Transformation. So too for those whose corrupted ideas result in these crimes being committed. Especially if they do not understand the *terrible* consequences of their evil ways. The Vietnam War is yet another conflict rooted in the divisive policies of the corrupt foreigners who occupied that land some 20 years earlier. That was the vesting of military-political power in a religious-minority government that subsequently persecuted the majority. Which particular religions is irrelevant because history proves you’ll find the best of the best and the worst of the worst in any of them. What is relevant is the presence of corrupted beings on either side of these conflicts, with the harmless People caught in the middle, suffering at the hands of either or both. *This is why you should never be allied with corrupt forces to battle against other corrupt forces.* You should find another way to achieve your goals. Ultimately, the only way to win ideological wars is to avoid using extreme destructive force that will harm the harmless *or* impede their lives in a way that feeds that ideology. Because that will increase the power of its military-political base to recruit new fighters. For example, if that ideology is religious extremism their places of worship should not be bombed, if it is uplifting the Working-class their crops should not be destroyed. Instead their military power should be *accurately* reduced to zero all the way up to their political leadership. Whilst removing the ideological basis for them fighting by protecting those places of worship, helping improve crop-yields etc. Also, it is critically important to avoid engaging in any action that may *combine opposing identity factors,* which has the potential to expand a conflict to no end. For example - if an individual will fight for an ideology that supposedly uplifts their social-class, care must be taken not to attack their religion also because that gives them another reason to fight. Realising that, their military-political base will successfully expand their method of recruiting others to fight for their ideology on the basis of religion also, *even if* that ideology is fundamentally anti-spiritual. Other major identity factors include ethnicity & nationality. All of the above was far easier to manage in ancient times when it was just armies and their ideological leaders meeting on open battlefields.

The guy Wu Ningkun at 23:47 died recently in august of 2019 aged 99

7:55 The more things change, the more they stay the same.

32:21, the slogan of Chinese Communism: "It's alright to rebel"

Mao,s voice is ashaming

Got chills on the rail move. Fuck nothing wrong here

Why no mention of Sino-India war?

Read Frank Dikotters devastating trilogy on Maos China

and if you carrying pictures of chairman Mao '' you ain't gonna make it with anyone any how ,,

Fun Fact: Among the half a million Chinese killed in the Korean War was Mao's eldest son: An-ying. He was 28 and served as a Russian translator for the Chinese general Peng De-huai, but got killed in a bombing raid in November 1950 - just a month after he joined in the war. Mao's reaction was one of... carelessness. A year before, An-ying got married to a beautiful woman and this made Mao furiously jealous for he was sexually attracted to her. So when his death came, Mao used it as an opportunity to be with the lady as much as possible, comforting her as though she was his wife, but he held the truth from her about her husband. Mao even coldly went as far as joking that An-ying was still alive. It was until after the war, 2 and a half years later, that she learned the truth.

33:27 poor soviet diplomats who were based in beijing.

The message during this era is Mao's determination of a pathway, that the residency had to swallow for terms of getting rid of the undesirable using an undesirable force. But he is more l:obe siding"in his thinking, all it did is retaliated against themselves....

Is it me who always think that USA criticizes other countries in do doing the crimes it itself exactly does?

3) Do those pictures of the American table-tennis team in China look like amateur 'home movies' to you? Especially the giant Maoist placard (40:13) that is strangely written in English!

This was one of the main mistakes of USSR. They should have kept good relationship with their main ally in China. While at the same time maintaining their superiority among allies.

I call it the great backwards flip instead

sounds like Kruchev lost the cold war when he went with destalinization. A strong Aliance between USSR and CHina would have been pretty unstoppable as CHinas pop grew the USSR economicallywould have done alot better i assume

Khrushchev’s timely decision after Stalin’s death to Destalinize The old USSR from Stalins influence even after his passing was the true turning point in Sino-Soviet relations years later imo. In Mao’s view this action by Khrushchev weakened Communist world unity and solidarity and It’s likely that Mao feared/respected Khrushchev less than he did Stalin and gradually thought less of him with the succeeding years. In addition, Mao quite possibly hinted that the Soviets wanted to control China they way they controlled Eastern European members of Warsaw pact and refused to partake in aiding to strengthen Soviet Geopolitics at the time and went in another direction which years later led to the opening of U.S.-Chinese relations with Kissinger and Nixon.

I like how most media at that time shamelessly presented facts : “the gate to friendly contact” - I see the hand of advisers behind literally handing a script. Not a conspiracy theorist myself but there was no friendship between China and US at that time. Only 2 rivals teaming up against the USSR .. Soviet Media were even worst of course. And although I find today’s media mostly pathetic, at the very least we can hear different opinion with indie ones. We just have to find them and make them live.

Mike tyson has a mao tattoo on his arm . True story.

Seems like a documentary on Black Lives Matter

f course cnn gives Nixon credit for Kruschevs failure he just didnt f up a hand shake

Hey china seeing as your man won I can help you with information to block communications from Alaska Air Force radar sites. I also can give you real time info of aircraft type and direction of anything launching from JBER Like the big guy I expect compensation for this. We can talk more about other things to help you quest

The Great Leap Forward...into the grave

From what I see, what seems to be the best position to take is to be pro socialist in speech and sympathize with with communist promise of equality while maintaining a good and comfortable healthy life within a capitalist and corporate society, and denigrating capitalism at every opportunity and ignoring the history of communism inevitable outcome, but staying loyal to the fantasy. This way you may have your cake and eat it too.

why the hell would China seek aid from a country like Russia that needs aid themselves!?? Russians are starving, how are they going to aid anyone

Murder make History

Who's here from Mr. Chase's history class? @

who in the world is disliking this, but more importantly why? idk why but it seems funny to me to show dislike to something trying to document history. You may have disliked what happened but its not the documentary's fault. Makes me laugh.

LMao Zedong

Let's Go Brandon

How loud was that

A few famous war criminals in this documentary, Kissinger, Ford, Nixon, Mao etc . Today’s episode would have, ZELENSKY, BIDEN, SUNAK, TRUDEAU.

What a reversal of fortune! Look at the manner of speech and arrogant body language of Yankees during that era. Thank goodness these yankees are no longer a super power.
