Though China's government never intended to export its ideology to other counties according to its non-interventionism policy, because the China's model is quite unique due to its own history. The core purpose of Chinese Communist Party is to serve the people. Nevertheless the Party has made detours and mistakes, and there have been many corrupted officials and scums, but the history of New China has proved that its core purpose has not changed. The most obvious example is that the number of 850 millions people who living in extreme poverty in China have disappeared, and there are no homeless people on streets in China while extreme poverty is on rise in the US. In term of protecting ordinary citizens, there more than 1.2 million people have died in Covid in the US, and in China, with four times the population of the US has only lost a few thousands. As we all know on the surface the American politicians were voted into power by people, but they only serve the interest of their donors behind the scene, not serve the majority of ordinary voters, that's including all elected governments and presidents of the US, they never serve the interest of the vast majority people after being elected. Such system led to the disorderly expansion of capital and the vicious monopoly. Up to the US President, senators, congressmen and party members can openly, legally take money (donates) from enterprises and capitalists which is 100% crime of corruption in China. The US politicians took money and commissions from gun lobbies, military-industrial complex and Wall Street Jewish groups, and those consortiums also control the media, manipulate public opinion, lie and cheat the public, in return, the US politicians must do 2 things: 1. making external enemies to shift internal problems, 2. provoking wars elsewhere for more arm deals.

What good is political democracy when the economy is oligarchic? It’s complete theatre. Without economic agency, citizens are paying taxes for services that operate in the interests of other people. “It’s the economy, stupid.” 😅
That my dear is the genius of western illusionary "freedom and democracy", it is all about "feeling" good, not actually "doing" any good. Hence westerners continue to "vote" each time thinking, things would get better, but with each election cycle, it's the same policy, one govt blames the other, failing that just blame Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and everybody else, that is also why the west always need an enemy or 2, to control their population. Western democracy is the best divisive tool in the world.
How is economy oligarchic? Are you forced to buy any services except by govt you voted for? (insurance and licenses). You voted for the oligarchy? That's why political democracy matters.
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 there are 7 US hedge funds that retain monopolistic-like control over WHOLE industries (health, traditional media, digital, power utility, and now the home market) and somehow people think that their individual economic decisions have any effect. They don’t and they haven’t. In Canada, the situation is actually worse. We have governments that retain control over swaths of the marketplace, but they influence them in the same way that serves even smaller cadres of capital and labour. It’s a system that has been co-opted over a century. The UK and other EU states have similar struggles.
@IdrisFashan It doesn't matter how much economic power you have when the government has the monopoly on guns and violence. So yes, the government being a democracy makes all the difference.
I would have loved to visit Confucius Institute. Never heard of them anywhere in U$a. Such has been the level of obfuscation of exchange with Chinese Culture. I visited China in 2007 & found dynamic people & society. Today's advances as I've seen online are amazing.

China’s governance model sparks intense debate, and it’s easy to see why. While it’s criticized as “autocratic” from a Western perspective, there’s no denying the tangible results it delivers-lifting millions out of poverty and responding swiftly to crises like COVID-19. The real issue here is how we define success and governance. Is it about freedom of speech, or about ensuring basic needs and economic security? In many ways, China’s system challenges the idea that democracy automatically produces the best outcomes. Maybe it’s time to question the Western narrative and see China’s governance for what it is-complex, effective, and deeply influential globally.
I would say, it's all about choices. Asians prefer prosperity, unity, jobs, family ties. Westerners prefers voting every 4 years, over and above everything else, they prefer profits over humanity, extreme wealth to the detriment of the nation and we must all defend their rights to carry on with democracy.
But China has democratic processes. If it were a top down system, they’ve already fallen. What kind of participation do we really have in the West? Voting every 4 years but even then our voices don’t matter, we don’t have political power, our needs and concerns are not heard.
LOL I do love how some western powers or political punters think China's system of governance or border is up for debates or approval by the west! That's like saying I have a say over my neighbors house rules. Idiotic rationale to say the least. China's system is up to Chinese people and China to decide, just like European "freedom and democracy" is up to western population to debate. It's all about choices! In the west people have chosen "freedom and democracy, a system which makes them "feel" good, never mind that it doesn't really change a damn thing. Chinese people chose to forgo western "freedom and democracy" as defined by the west, it choose to trust its govt Commie or otherwise, to make the right decision, and when it doesn't then chinese people will simply replace them, just like every other dynasty for the past 5000 years. However illusionary "freedom and democracy" of the west, must be defended and must be allowed to carry on, after all it is a westerner's choice, to remain "free" from all properties, free to sleep in the parks, in tents, free to l00t shops, free to sh00t each other, that IS their right to do so, even enshrined in the U$ constitution! America's right must be protected!
Lots of countries have to totalitarians rulers all across the world and the US a considers them a very strong ally and actually has a military bases in some of them. Lots of these countries don't do anything for the citizens the two biggest ones I think of are Saudi Arabia and Nigeria deep in corruption and not a standing vision for the country compared them to China. the ruling party in China actually wants to progress the country for whatever reason I don't know. But lots of countries would trade the productivity of their country for the productivity of China. Like I said again lots of totalitarian governments out there that don't even do one tenth of what China does for its people. And you never hear the USA talking about spreading democracy to Saudi Arabia, UAE, QATAR, Jordan or criticizing governments like EGYPT at the same level as they do as china because they usually bend the knee to what the US wants
Highly recommend the book "Why the World Needs China" by Kyle Ferrana, great examination of how China's system works better than that of the US and why countries in the Global South/Global Majority prefer to work with China

“Global South” is far clearer than “global majority.” The global south is the global majority. I don’t see why you’d have a problem with the term. The Global North is the former colonizers, settler colonies, and the US Empire. Global South is formerly colonized or semi-colonized countries.
@@mattesparza2072 It's a dumb term because it's drawing a random line in the sand. There are "global south" countries on northern latitudes than the "global north".
@@mattesparza2072 Global Majority has some advantages over “Global South”. You know what Global South refers to and that it represents a majority, but many people from the U.S., the core of the Global North, do not, and language should serve to educate. As such, I would use both terms interchangeably. Not only is it geographically misleading to say “Global South”, but many who live in the Global North and understand which countries the “Global South” refers to still maintain the delusion that the liberal settler-colonial states they live in are the majority, or can see themselves as more legitimate than the Global South.

*A Win-Win for China: The U.S. Role in Global Conflict and Complicity in Genocide* Introduction As the world stands at a precarious crossroads, with the specter of nuclear warfare looming, it is imperative to critically examine the role the United States plays in perpetuating conflicts across the globe. This report highlights the U.S.'s complicity in wars, particularly in Gaza, and explores how these actions are creating opportunities for China to strengthen its relationships, especially with countries in sub-Saharan Africa. U.S. Involvement in Global Conflicts The United States has a long history of military intervention, often justified under the guise of spreading democracy and protecting human rights. However, these interventions frequently lead to widespread destruction and loss of life. The ongoing conflict in Gaza serves as a glaring example of U.S. complicity in violence. The U.S. has provided substantial military aid to Israel, which has been implicated in acts that can be described as genocidal against the Palestinian people. This support not only fuels conflict but also undermines peace efforts in the region. As civilians bear the brunt of these conflicts, the loss of innocent lives raises urgent ethical questions about U.S. foreign policy. The international community watches as the U.S. remains silent or supportive amidst atrocities, leading to accusations of complicity in genocide. China's Rising Influence While the U.S. continues its destructive path, China is strategically positioning itself as a leader in global development. China's investments in infrastructure and development projects across sub-Saharan Africa exemplify a different approach. By focusing on mutual benefits rather than military intervention, China is fostering goodwill and strengthening diplomatic ties with nations that have historically been overlooked by Western powers. China's model offers countries in Africa an opportunity for economic growth without the strings attached that often accompany U.S. aid. This creates a win-win situation for both China and these nations, allowing them to pursue their own paths to development while sidestepping the conflicts fueled by U.S. policies. Call to Action The world is at a critical juncture. With nuclear weapons involved and tensions escalating globally, it is crucial for Americans to take action. I urge every American to contact their congressman and express discontent with ongoing military interventions. Demand that they prioritize peace over war and support diplomatic solutions instead of destructive policies that lead to loss of life and suffering. We must act swiftly to ensure that our government reflects the values of peace and humanitarianism rather than aggression and destruction. The future of global stability depends on our collective voice advocating for an end to war and a commitment to peacebuilding efforts worldwide. Conclusion As the U.S. continues to engage in conflicts that exacerbate suffering, China's alternative approach presents an opportunity for constructive engagement with developing nations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. It is time for Americans to demand a shift from war to diplomacy, advocating for a future where peace prevails over violence.
Nationalist China was overthrown by the people in 194o. Just like many others were overthrown 😂and replaced in the past. Taiwan is just a province to be reunited.
No! Ching's army was defeated in 1949 by Mao. Chiang and hus KMT killed many Communist rather than battle the Japanese invaders. As agreed at the acairo Conference and the Yalta Conference Taiwan was returned to China after WW11. But unknown to many the Japanese occupiers including war criminals in Taiwan went underfround. The present leadership in Taiwan are of Japanese descent.

This is the kind of commentary we need!
This is also reporting unbiased news, unlike the US & western MSM. Breakthrough News also advocates Peace, unlike many (not all) US & western news media.
one of the best English language shows on China
This is truthful journalism, not biased like the US & western MSM propaganda, especially when it comes to reporting on China. Breakthrough News report the truth on China & the Global South, not one sided, biased news like what the US & western news report. They point out all the unfair reporting on China & the Global South.
90% of Chinese people own their homes. This is a dream! I speak with many Chinese in China who assume this is normal in the west. I don’t think many realise that less and less are able to buy homes here.
That's a lie!
Nice joke. Chinese own nothing, and everything belongs to the comunist party, including the people.

I am impressed by Ken Hammond's insight into China when he only lived there 5 years during the 1980s
Thank you so much. Until I watched this video, I was completely ignorant about China and believed all the mainstream myths and stereotypes. You really opened my eyes!
What good is political democracy when the economy is oligarchic? It’s complete theatre.
Without economic agency, citizens are paying taxes for services that operate in the interests of other people.
“It’s the economy, stupid.” 😅
This is such a great interview. Thank you so much for this. 👊🏾🧔🏾♂️
That my dear is the genius of western illusionary "freedom and democracy", it is all about "feeling" good, not actually "doing" any good. Hence westerners continue to "vote" each time thinking, things would get better, but with each election cycle, it's the same policy, one govt blames the other, failing that just blame Russia, China, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and everybody else, that is also why the west always need an enemy or 2, to control their population.
Western democracy is the best divisive tool in the world.
How is economy oligarchic? Are you forced to buy any services except by govt you voted for? (insurance and licenses). You voted for the oligarchy? That's why political democracy matters.
@@mikolowiskamikolowiska4993 there are 7 US hedge funds that retain monopolistic-like control over WHOLE industries (health, traditional media, digital, power utility, and now the home market) and somehow people think that their individual economic decisions have any effect. They don’t and they haven’t. In Canada, the situation is actually worse. We have governments that retain control over swaths of the marketplace, but they influence them in the same way that serves even smaller cadres of capital and labour. It’s a system that has been co-opted over a century. The UK and other EU states have similar struggles.
@IdrisFashan It doesn't matter how much economic power you have when the government has the monopoly on guns and violence. So yes, the government being a democracy makes all the difference.
Great show guys... Keep coming with more shows y'all!!!
Good show guys,Amanda and KJ keep up the good work.
Thank you for having Professor Ken on the show 👍
China has real democracy that works for people instead of for big corporate monopolies as in US.
This is the only TH-cam channel I watch till the end.
Prof Hammond is a wonderful American who seeks the truth and is for peace ❤
I would have loved to visit Confucius Institute. Never heard of them anywhere in U$a. Such has been the level of obfuscation of exchange with Chinese Culture. I visited China in 2007 & found dynamic people & society. Today's advances as I've seen online are amazing.
US closed all Confucius Institutes a few years ago.
@@hyc1266 Sweden too. It happened when I was starting to learn (Mandarin) Chinese. They want us disconnected from the world especially if that knowledge acquisition doesn’t conform with their narratives. There were Chinese schools too, kids in Sweden were learning Chinese as a second language, with opportunities to study in China to hone their skills. That’s all gone now, they closed the schools.
Talk about anti-choice

I believe "Global Majority" is a better description for labelling them as "3rd World" then lately "Global South" .
Agreed it’s disrespectful and ignorant. Most now are finally Developing to make better for their own people so they don’t have to immigrate some where else
places are underdeveloped because of colonisation.
“Global south” seeks to remedy the colonial connotations with terms like “third world”. Global south and global majority are both good terms but “global south” reminds us of the historical processes related to colonisation, imperialism, capitalism.
Third world is ok. Thats the adecuate description. As we are poor countries, very corrupted, mostly regimes. I m from a third world country very proudly.
@@Vrey662 Good on you! But we do need to learn to respect each other; just like every part of our body that needs to be cared for; in order for our body to function properly & effectively.
One of my favorite shows!!:) Another dynamic duo just like Rania and Eugene!:) Thank you KJ, Amanda and guest Ken Hammond; keep up the great analyses! Love all the info on 🇨🇳, the BRI projects & "win/win cooperation". Thank you, thank you!!🙏🤲💌
The problem with all ideologies of power and control is unchecked power.
Rome didn't fall, only the name and capitals changed.
Denial of oppression in China isn't a good stratagy
liberal democracy is phizer and cola owning regulators, planing teaching curriculum, owning politicians and clouding with private banks (the fed)....the average slob in the west has no idea of democracy or where it is......
中国加油！❤🇨🇳❤
China has followed a non-intervention policy; so China is not looking to export their political system to other countries.
I think the thing China is doing right is based on results and investing in the right areas instead of ideology and blaming others.
@@AlhasanBah "Ideology" aka defending freedom is what made the West so successful
This is my favorite channel. Unbiased and very factual. Very pleasant to watch. Please continue with your great work.
Great reporting & great chat with Ken Hammond! I love the video from Douyin & that is one fantastic Black Myth Wukon painting that villager painted! Love it! Thank you KJ & Amanda for your reporting & safe travels to China, Amanda!
Great job guys. Being an English educated person in Asia we are really surprised to see how the American people are so easily influenced by MSM. The indoctrination is so huge there. Keep safe guys and look forward to your next show.
@ykwong "Great job guys. Being an ..." Your English education is deficient in understanding number, even if it does permit you to express surprise at the ease at which 'the American people' are influenced by MSM, something impossible for you to determine without widespread pre test, survey and aggregation processes. Just keep doing what most of your ilk do, rehash CCP propaganda.
Good morning Ken Amanda and KJ❤️GS🇨🇳🦾😇👋
Если США вдруг исчезнет, то никто сожалеть не будет, все вздохнут с облегчением.
China’s governance model sparks intense debate, and it’s easy to see why. While it’s criticized as “autocratic” from a Western perspective, there’s no denying the tangible results it delivers-lifting millions out of poverty and responding swiftly to crises like COVID-19. The real issue here is how we define success and governance. Is it about freedom of speech, or about ensuring basic needs and economic security? In many ways, China’s system challenges the idea that democracy automatically produces the best outcomes. Maybe it’s time to question the Western narrative and see China’s governance for what it is-complex, effective, and deeply influential globally.
Nah they pretty slow to respond unlike Taiwan, Local governor ignoring the doctors warning, silencing them and let virus spreads,
I would say, it's all about choices.
Asians prefer prosperity, unity, jobs, family ties.
Westerners prefers voting every 4 years, over and above everything else, they prefer profits over humanity, extreme wealth to the detriment of the nation and we must all defend their rights to carry on with democracy.
But China has democratic processes. If it were a top down system, they’ve already fallen. What kind of participation do we really have in the West? Voting every 4 years but even then our voices don’t matter, we don’t have political power, our needs and concerns are not heard.
LOL I do love how some western powers or political punters think China's system of governance or border is up for debates or approval by the west!
That's like saying I have a say over my neighbors house rules. Idiotic rationale to say the least.
China's system is up to Chinese people and China to decide, just like European "freedom and democracy" is up to western population to debate.
It's all about choices!
In the west people have chosen "freedom and democracy, a system which makes them "feel" good, never mind that it doesn't really change a damn thing.
Chinese people chose to forgo western "freedom and democracy" as defined by the west, it choose to trust its govt Commie or otherwise, to make the right decision, and when it doesn't then chinese people will simply replace them, just like every other dynasty for the past 5000 years.
However illusionary "freedom and democracy" of the west, must be defended and must be allowed to carry on, after all it is a westerner's choice, to remain "free" from all properties, free to sleep in the parks, in tents, free to l00t shops, free to sh00t each other, that IS their right to do so, even enshrined in the U$ constitution! America's right must be protected!
Lots of countries have to totalitarians rulers all across the world and the US a considers them a very strong ally and actually has a military bases in some of them. Lots of these countries don't do anything for the citizens the two biggest ones I think of are Saudi Arabia and Nigeria deep in corruption and not a standing vision for the country compared them to China. the ruling party in China actually wants to progress the country for whatever reason I don't know. But lots of countries would trade the productivity of their country for the productivity of China. Like I said again lots of totalitarian governments out there that don't even do one tenth of what China does for its people. And you never hear the USA talking about spreading democracy to Saudi Arabia, UAE, QATAR, Jordan or criticizing governments like EGYPT at the same level as they do as china because they usually bend the knee to what the US wants
Amanda, I hope you have a nice time with family and friends. Could you do some interviews so we can meet them too and get first hand opinions?
Highly recommend the book "Why the World Needs China" by Kyle Ferrana, great examination of how China's system works better than that of the US and why countries in the Global South/Global Majority prefer to work with China
Great video guys.
Great program, we'll be waiting for more news in November, the interview with the profesor was great; and everyone on the last clip was very talented too, my Lord i'm hungry!!.
University of Akron canceled its Confucius institute partnership. I was worried my old high school nearby (NIHF STEM) removed its Chinese language program, but luckily the teachers there were able to create new partnerships, and the program is still going strong. It's the only high school I know of in the area teaching Mandarin.
They know what so called " US DEMOCRACY " does and means. NOPE
Democracy is code word for hegemony
It's almost like a nation united, thrives.
That is very much against western oligarchic govts, it's all about division, pitting one group against another, that is how they maintain control.
i'm tire of this description the global south .. please just call the rest of the world the global majority..
“Global South” is far clearer than “global majority.” The global south is the global majority. I don’t see why you’d have a problem with the term. The Global North is the former colonizers, settler colonies, and the US Empire. Global South is formerly colonized or semi-colonized countries.
@@mattesparza2072Well explained. Dont want to be disrespected by these louts
Before the "Global South", there was a term called "Third-World Countries".
@@mattesparza2072 It's a dumb term because it's drawing a random line in the sand. There are "global south" countries on northern latitudes than the "global north".
@@mattesparza2072 Global Majority has some advantages over “Global South”. You know what Global South refers to and that it represents a majority, but many people from the U.S., the core of the Global North, do not, and language should serve to educate. As such, I would use both terms interchangeably.
Not only is it geographically misleading to say “Global South”, but many who live in the Global North and understand which countries the “Global South” refers to still maintain the delusion that the liberal settler-colonial states they live in are the majority, or can see themselves as more legitimate than the Global South.
Ay always great to get some Ken. He is such a wealth of knowledge on the PRC.
appreciate Amanda, KJ and the china report team to create a space for knowledge and information! great discussion with Ken Hammond!
I truly enjoy and appreciate your show. I have never been to China and hope to go someday with my young son...show him some of the incredible places in this world.
Same here!
Welcome! Best wishes to you and your family ❤
Thank you for bringing some light to the subject of "Government for People" and it's incredible results. Many people are not given the truth when it comes to other countries of the world. Keep doing what you do.
Great report.
I absolutely love this show.
Great episode ❤❤
Love your program.
Amazing report
Listened in to Ken Hammond talk about the history of China's Cultural Revolution. Will be attending his remaining classes virtually. So glad to find a means of learning about China without it being bogged down by CIA propaganda. ❤️
@pandora-panicc "Listened in to Ken Ham..." Don't worry, lass, if this video's any guide, his remaining classes will be bogged with more than enough propaganda to satisfy you.
I agree Professor Ken Hammond is one of the few "real China Experts", not Mearsheimer or Gordon Chang.
Gordon is just a simple fool.
@@pkwong1940Gordon Chang is smart write a book in 2001 about the collapse of China. And then become a paid China expert getting nothing right about China
If people bought my books and paid me to make fache news about China I would do it as well
😂😂😂
Mearsheimer simply cannot comprehend a world without gunboat diplomacy
GordonChang is just grifting off the USA propaganda money machine
If china actually failed, Gordon Chang would be out of job.

We love china
China is helping to build the world while US is waging wars, it is a glaring contrast of foreign policy. Africa , South East Asia and South America will benefit greatly from China’s infrastructure projects. Look at countries like Hungary , Spain , Serbia , Indonesia , Malaysia, Laos , Kenya etc. … they are all pivoting towards China. Build a better world with China.
This show is vitally important. Thank you.
Thank you for another outstanding discussion on the aspirations, mission and realties in China. Bon Voyage and may you enjoy your family and visit to China.
BA in Vietnamese Language and Linguistics, Minor in Asian Studies 1974. China will survive very well. Wish I could live in China near the Vietnamese border since I speak Northern Dialect,
I have talked to people from China here in the United States and they are proud of their homeland. Very nice people from China. ❤

U$ torpedoes everybody else's including allies....just ask Germany!
Great conversation! Must have Prof. Ken back ! Thank you!❤😊
USA ❤ Double Standard
USA ✅ Uyghurs Moslem
USA ❎ Palestine Moslem
"America hates Muslims, hates the Chinese, but loves Chinese Muslims"
Not to mention acting horrified at alleged "slave labor" in China while profiting from actual slave labor in US prisons
Slavery never ended, it's just moved from the auction block to the cell block
Excellent analysis site
Could you guys please do a bit survey among mainland say Shanghai and Taipei life styles and what they exactly know about the world around them?
I believe Taipei people need to have a lot more understanding of what’s going on in real life politically economically socially religiously etc
What makes China so well is that they invest in their people by their economies. This is also in regards to other countries
UuuuSsssAaaa putting sanctions and tariffs is self isolation and self sanctions.
I wish i go to China!!
Thanks for sharing the video. This is truly an eye opener. I hope that millions of people around the world will educate themselves as to what is really going on. Thank you. ❤

*A Win-Win for China: The U.S. Role in Global Conflict and Complicity in Genocide*
Introduction
As the world stands at a precarious crossroads, with the specter of nuclear warfare looming, it is imperative to critically examine the role the United States plays in perpetuating conflicts across the globe. This report highlights the U.S.'s complicity in wars, particularly in Gaza, and explores how these actions are creating opportunities for China to strengthen its relationships, especially with countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
U.S. Involvement in Global Conflicts
The United States has a long history of military intervention, often justified under the guise of spreading democracy and protecting human rights. However, these interventions frequently lead to widespread destruction and loss of life.
The ongoing conflict in Gaza serves as a glaring example of U.S. complicity in violence. The U.S. has provided substantial military aid to Israel, which has been implicated in acts that can be described as genocidal against the Palestinian people. This support not only fuels conflict but also undermines peace efforts in the region.
As civilians bear the brunt of these conflicts, the loss of innocent lives raises urgent ethical questions about U.S. foreign policy. The international community watches as the U.S. remains silent or supportive amidst atrocities, leading to accusations of complicity in genocide.
China's Rising Influence
While the U.S. continues its destructive path, China is strategically positioning itself as a leader in global development.
China's investments in infrastructure and development projects across sub-Saharan Africa exemplify a different approach. By focusing on mutual benefits rather than military intervention, China is fostering goodwill and strengthening diplomatic ties with nations that have historically been overlooked by Western powers.
China's model offers countries in Africa an opportunity for economic growth without the strings attached that often accompany U.S. aid. This creates a win-win situation for both China and these nations, allowing them to pursue their own paths to development while sidestepping the conflicts fueled by U.S. policies.
Call to Action
The world is at a critical juncture. With nuclear weapons involved and tensions escalating globally, it is crucial for Americans to take action.
I urge every American to contact their congressman and express discontent with ongoing military interventions. Demand that they prioritize peace over war and support diplomatic solutions instead of destructive policies that lead to loss of life and suffering.
We must act swiftly to ensure that our government reflects the values of peace and humanitarianism rather than aggression and destruction. The future of global stability depends on our collective voice advocating for an end to war and a commitment to peacebuilding efforts worldwide.
Conclusion
As the U.S. continues to engage in conflicts that exacerbate suffering, China's alternative approach presents an opportunity for constructive engagement with developing nations, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. It is time for Americans to demand a shift from war to diplomacy, advocating for a future where peace prevails over violence.
Why is USA the factor in all these wars?something is not right with these people greed greed by USA😮😮😮
Wow just Wow
Nationalist China was overthrown by the people in 194o. Just like many others were overthrown 😂and replaced in the past. Taiwan is just a province to be reunited.
No! Ching's army was defeated in 1949 by Mao. Chiang and hus KMT killed many Communist rather than battle the Japanese invaders.
As agreed at the acairo Conference and the Yalta Conference Taiwan was returned to China after WW11. But unknown to many the Japanese occupiers including war criminals in Taiwan went underfround. The present leadership in Taiwan are of Japanese descent.
Would’ve happened long ago if not for interference by interested parties
100 miles of highway completely unmanned. Was this a repave or was this a complete new road? That is significant. Its possible to build a houses unmanned as well and projects in dangerous areas.
