Hope you guys liked the video! I love using YouGov to make easy cash! Click my link: www.inflcr.co/SHK7B #YouGovPartner
Where is the yougov link though?
Hey guys! Grettings from Dominican Republic. Where is the yougov link?
it s not working
Idiot title. As long as the video slanders China, it has a high number of views and is not based on facts.
The link doesn't work :(
The iconic tank in the opening scene.
Just love it.
ignore the UIghurs doesnt mention how xi is the newest in a long line of dictators doesnt mention what the han chinese do too minorities...
you love it though...
Yes, but I also prefer the old version the theme. Combine those two, and it be perfect.
Was hoping for a Tiananmen Square Tank Man variant intro video for this one. Missed opportunity?
intentional obfuscation.
@@DaGoook
@@bastait Perhaps it's a comprehension issue as my comment is clear to me.
-1000 social credit score
Can’t ride the bus or access WeChat now :(
:(
Just what exactly is a social credit score, never heard of this in China actually.
@@wilhelmreinhardt4643 China's 'social credit' system ranks citizens and punishes them with throttled internet speeds and flight bans if the Communist Party deems them "untrustworthy."
Basically, Xi was watching Black Mirror and said, "Let's do that."
@@wilhelmreinhardt4643 + 1000 social credit.
Can you make a video about Myanmar civil war? We are very concerned as we are neighbor to them and no international media is covering this conflict in depth
Unfortunately, it might never be covered because for Western media, the lives of people in the so-called third world country like Myanmar matter less than the lives of white people in a first world country like Ukraine.
I am replying in support of this
Myanmar's war is also affecting India lately.
Would also like updates on this
We need a video on this.
At first I was little trepidatious since talking about modern Chinese politics is such a hot button issue. But so far this is a lot more "Just the facts " than what I've seen most other news sources and videos. Thank you for sharing! It was very informative and has given me a lot to think about!
Chinese politics is not a "hot button issue". It's an ordinary issue of ordinary people just like the rest of us.
How's social credit system a fact?
@@RogueReplicant Hot button just means highly partisan which is absolutely true, that's the case of most discussions around politics in general
@@wilhelmreinhardt4643 It exists. Has been experimentally applied on a limited scope.
@@michaelrenper796 Where and which area; I'll head over there soon to verify that.
WOW. Didn't expect you guys to cover this topic here. Thanks so much.
Why wouldn’t he? This isn’t communist China😂😂
i believe it was a post-soviet official that lamented "we may have abolished capitalism, but not feudalism"
what this video describes is quite literally the ultimate imperial intrigue in the Middle Kingdom
Ultimately people don't really care as long as the government/society is run smoothly. My UK and Chinese family both have houses/land in Hong Kong and Shanghai and they split their year between the various countries. They are quite indifferent to what the government does, they see everything around them is prospering and that's all they care about.
From the few international students from China I've met, they seem to echo the same sentiment.
@@Devilishlybenevolent That is also true. At least there the local-level politicians will put in effort to improve the lives of local citizens.
and xi implemented state capitalism and a dictatorship.
That's not what feudalism means. China hasn't been feudal for two millennia
@@ForelliBoy local ? You mean national ? Cause they're the one who apoint, give instruction and access to resouces to the local administration, China is strong and prosperous because of the leadership of the central goverment. But those from the west refuse to acknowledge it and do everything in their to smear, downplay and discredited everything China do, the blind prejudice is insane, westerners is insane.
Thanks Kings & generals! for coverage on this. As a ethnic Chinese, good to see this is getting more attention.
Republic of China or People's Republic of China? Who are you pledge allegiance to?
@@jonaspetethe real china
@@jonaspete Taiwan is the real China~
@@AlterXephon Fun fact, the CCP recognised Mongolia's independence and doesn't seek to absorb it back to their domain, Taiwan claims Mongolia to be theirs regardless of if they're an independent country or not, they see it as lost Chinese territory.
@@jonaspeteThere's only one China. The other one is known as West Taiwan. :)
OMG. THIS topic covered by the K&G Channel? This is gonna be EPIC! 😜🤟
Excellent video, really appreciate the more recent historical or contemporary stuff y'all have been producing.
Love this video. Never expected to watch this topic in such depth in english and on youtube!
Great summary. Much more in depth than I thought it would be. Although it missed the drama surrounding the removal of Bo Xilai.
Great video! Please bring us more!
A little tip, Kuomintang‘s Kuomin is the party name and the tang means party, so.... just call them Kuomintang as well as Kuomintang party sounds like..."Kuomin party party"
Tang does not mean party in English, so English speakers are not going to understand it's a party unless you put in English word in it signifying it's a political party.
ATM machines disagree
@@Edax_Royeaux yup, maybe just in different language context and my mother tongue is Chinese, so this name for me is a bit odd and now I got your sense Ty.
@@Alexios-Komnenos1181 Ngl my mom is so Chinese that her nickname is literally "Chinese" which my aunts and uncle which is being full Chinese
But my mom doesn't know any mandarin so yeah my grandpa just cut off that connection for us to Chinese culture
@@Edax_Royeauxand?
Chinese history is quite fascinating; the hours one can spend delving into it are quite enjoyable.
Yes, and its sad that its getting destroyed by the governmentr, also why taiwan literally is preserving chinese culture. i mean the rich history and culture.
@@marocat4749 the ccp is promoting chinese culture like never before. you are still stuck in the 1970s cultural revolution.
@@willl237 Em the cultural revolution literally returns right now , or returned.
And i refuse to say that starving and being starving for most people,, and being dirty is chinese culture. or maoism
@@marocat4749 How is the cultural revolution returning? Have you been to China recently? The Chinese people are more proud of their traditional culture more than ever and the government is actively promoting it.
too young too naive@@willl237
And that's another country you guys are not allowed to go to anymore. Do you keep a list?😂
Very interesting kind of video, woud love to see it applied to other countries as well!
It's a dumb propaganda video
Awesome video! Can't wait for the next installment of the Horus Heresy on your sister channel, Wizards and Warriors! 😍
This channel should be a requirement for schools. Excellent work as always!
Excellent breakdown. I have watched a number of videos on this subject and this is probably the first fully neutral and comprehensive one.
We like to see more modern affairs on king's and generals😊.
It will be very interesting/horrifying to see what level of dystopia China comes to in the next decade or so
Next decade: USB and USA
Well done!
A difficult subject presented expertly
Thank you guys for your work!
There's a typo in the video. The province is spelt Guangdong, not Guandong.
Thanks for covering this topic, y'all are awesome.
Best in depth analysis of Chinese Politics I’ve seen so far. Keep up the good work! 👌🏼
Amazing documentary. Isn't the problem with a single sighted, non factional society is it turns the whole society into a cyclops? The cyclops had a problem seeing things only one way and when Ulysses blinded him he was helpless.
Even if this is not war related, i love it. You guys make great content with reliable information.
Epic credit for making this content of political landscape in the current world.
10/10! Very informative.
Would love to see more of these modern politic themes
After all this time, the emperor took back his seat.
Even when there is a single party, checks and balances, and an independent court system is mandatory, for justice.
Devin, this is quite a step away from K&G's normal content. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
Damn these info are detailed, I wouldn't expect these coming from outside China, well done!
Inside China you get re-education if you tried this.
I wouldnt expect for sure coming from inside china
你不会真的相信社会信用积分吧？
Fascinating stuff guys. Thank you!
Excellent video as usual
This is the best analysis of the situation yet. Thank you
I was in China in 2017. This was a really awesome video to see, and i look forward to more.
I always knew that the byzantine power struggles within the party decided leadership, but the nuance this brought was really amazing, and must be enlightening for 99% of people who view it.
I look forward to more amazing content from K&G.
Awesome video
I want to make one thing purrrfectly clear: The Kings and Generals team pisses EXCELLENCE! That is all. Outstanding.
Amazing video. As a Chinese I have never been so clear about our own political system
Great video!
It would be interesting if a follow-up video covers the CCP governance model juxtaposed with with old KMT model pre-1949
better kmt pre-1987
Great idea
I think under kmt, china will be divided to 4-5 countries. not because kmt want it, but the "boss" can hadle divided china better.
国民党对边远少地区的统治力根本等于0
很多民族对于国民党根本可以说，两个字：不熟！影响力还不如满清
excellent
Love how you boiled it down into a very summative video, if anyone else is interested in further exposition I would recommend you check the videos out from the channel "Lei's Real Talk" it really goes into depth of the make up of the factions and shifting alignments especially the Red Princlings to which Xi Jinping and Bo Xilai is a part of.
Nicely done 👏
surprisingly accurate holy
Great video loved it.
a bit confused at the content shift but this is one of the best explanation of Chinese politician system...no opinions, just facts, pros and cons.
common prosperity is interpreted wrongly , it is not about using camera to spy on citizen, it is purely for a fair distribution system to get balance between the rich and poor people, and make more people become middle class.
oh very interesting video!
11:46 The female & male police officers are Japanese police officers, not Chinese police.
Great job
Why was Kim Jong ill (North Korean leader) in the video at one of the scenes? 5:30
😂
Very nice episode! More of these, please. Thanks!
This was put together amazingly. Netflix needs to hire you to make news/dock short reals on their platform!!!
Netflix is garbage, it's content is for morons
Sad to see kings and generals will no longer be able to join the W.H.O or the united nations
Amazing video
I'm sure the comment section will offer a fair and balanced assessment of the topic of this video.
Totally. I'm certain the Xi/Chinese supporters wandering the internet with a constant chip on their shoulder will stay well away, and the die-hard anti-Chinese gang will only offer cool and collected thoughts.
In all seriousness though, I give it maybe 35% non-biased discussion of the topic and 65% assorted nutjobs and people screaming
More like this. More contemporary content!❤
I appreciate the information in this video hopefully one day they can be free
Thank you so much for covering this. Xi Thought snd what has been happening in China since 2012 is greatly underrepresented.
I remember being in China in 2017-2018 when Xi Jinping decided to make that move. It was unpopular when I asked my Chinese friends. One of them even said as a joke "Long live the Emperor".
This was really, really well made visually. Kudos.
I have bee following you guys since 2018!!! I am such a huge fan and am happy you guys are still producing ever more amazing videos!!! I would love to work on your guys' team, I am history teacher an would love to do what you guys do! Either way, much love!!
At first I thought you meant Xi 😂
This account is one year old
Commenting to keep you boys working lol
Excellent piece!
At around 12 minutes you said "500 million yuan" but the subtitles said "50"
Important video.
That's rare for kings and generals to talk wholely about politics.
Good to see that you don't shy away from calling out the CCP.
Why would he shy away? It's an easy way to make money on TH-cam. There's channels dedicated to exclaiming the fall of China as happening in the next week for years, because it gets guaranteed views 😂
Spamming out hysterics about how they're supposedly doing Saturday morning cartoon villain things is a very easy way to print money on TH-cam. Also it's CPC
lol this is probably the easiest way to make money on YT
China ≠ CCP @@maccothemillion3558
China Uncensored is always demonetized, so it's not always easy.@maccothemillion3558
good video, love from cn
have to talk about united front and their role controlling wto and un
Please focus on ottoman empire continue from sultan Mehmed I'm waiting from the last episode😢😢😢
9:05 what a missed opportunity... the Guandong Model looks exactly what China needs.
For real! So close. Maybe if it hadn't been pushed for so hard so fast? Idk? It's crazy how they jailed the guy from the other model for life, but O guess that's what you get when you make socialism look bad and make people doubt the party. I have a feeling this century is going to be a wild one for China.
As a Cantonese, I would say that Guangdong (yes, Guangdong, not Guandong, he spelled it wrong) is still the most liberal province in China 😂
@@gordonchao3074 do you use VPN to access youtube? also, what's your opinion about the rest of the video?
yeah china would become like any other liberal country and slowly lose all the power and prosperity it achieved
I don't, but other Chinese do, since I am currently outside of the mainland, and from Guangdong, it's easy to go to Hong Kong, which has no blocking on TH-cam, and for me, the video seems fine, usually the more educated Chinese would agree with this video, while those less educated or those who benefits from the ccp would disagree with this video
整体感觉还行 但是看到social credit system 还是有点绷不住
哈哈哈
What's the background music used?
you have a photo for japanese cop while talking about security guards in chongqing
Xi was also a reserve anti aircraft officer during the 1996 Taiwan Crisis.
Don't a lot of PLA officers "earn" their commissions by buying them? :P
Xi Jinping did not participate in the People's Liberation Army in 1996 when he was the secretary of the Fujian Municipal Party Committee, the current actual number two person of the CCP Cai Qi {Premier Li Qiang is the nominal number two person}, Li Xi, director of the Central Organization Department, He Weidong, chairman of the Chinese Military Commission {China, like the Soviet Union, the party's top leader in the army is the actual leader of the army}, China's Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong, China's CAI Minister of National Security Chen Yixin, China's Propaganda Department Minister Li Shulei {this is to control the minds of the Chinese}, Huang Kunming, the provincial party secretary of China's Guangdong province, was a former subordinate of Xi Jinping in Fujian

Damn . Kings and Generals is going in hard !
Hard af lol
Wasn't it Jiang Zemin not Hu Jiantso who was removed and died later?
Thank you for this video, its an interesting topic. Please elaborate further on chinese politics
Loved it. More vids about China pls
China's economy has worked very well. And unlike the U.S.S.R. didn't let themselves be goaded by the US into an arms race, which would bankrupt their economy, despite repeated American provocations in the Taiwan Strait.
Wow very informative, watched the whole thing before commenting, thought the car chase sequence was very well done
I didn't know KG are political motivated.
Good video
16:05 You guys were doing great till here 😂 Cmon fellas…
Brezhnev in the Soviet Union actually did the same thing before Jiang Zemin
A Xi video in the K&G style is the weirdest thing to imagine
Very informative. Can you cover the Hong Kong protests and there root causes.
Really interesting material. Thank you very much
Sponsor link is dead. It leads to a blank page that that has absolutely nothing but HTML tags foe file, header and body. Also doesn't do stuff with all blockers disabled. I am in the EU, so maybe they don't wanna deal with GDPR, or the URL and linking got messed up somewhere.
Used a VPN, It's that yougov doesn't whish to comply to the gdpr... Idk what the geo distribution of the viewers of this channel are, but if a significant enough are in regions that adopted the GDPR (more than just EU), could you add a notice somehow in the description that this sponsor ship is addressed to ONLY Americans? Thank you, I wouldn't have wasted so much time trying to figure out if my browser, PC or WiFi settings got messed up..
OK so i can sign up, and yougov does work in Europe, but had to go through a search engine. So then I can't support this channel.....
I'll wait a couple of days to see if you guys can get this fixed or something (and get back to me or I won't know), if not then I'll sign up directly.
Thanks for the perspective. An interesting analysis.
Great work and well researched, always wondered about this!
You guys are awesome and I do like your voice thank you very much
Thanks!
There are factions challenging him, But he's too powerful at this point
*Stares in Liberty Prime*
I was sceptical when I saw you put out a political rather than strategic video but as somebody who reads a lot about Chinese politics this was a very nice summary
