i would've rather seen a documentary by china itself. this one had some rediculous parts... like when he said mao ze dong tried to end all of chin as culture and when they talked about their fossil burnings as if they were the ones polluting the eart while the u.s. was the only country who didn't sign the "go green" treaty
I like what the young girl ( at 1.27 said )..."life will not give you gold medal for just sitting around" lol! so ..what are we all doing here on internet ? !
the one-child policy is only for city residents, not for countryside people. im also the only child in my family and feel there are lots of responsibilities on our generation for developing our nation.
give god that the communist party dont give up a single piece of there control. if so a disaster could follow. worst than the early 90 in Russia. the CIA dont sleep and will take any chance from a failure to change china and bring it back under western control.
like Wen says: we have no Dissidents! only enemy's of the Chinese Nation!
so keep the eyes open and the sword ready all time!
They call it a childhood sacrifice but I dont think it is at all. Its not like she doesnt get to have fun. Kids these days are way to spoiled then end up working meaningless jobs and blaming other people for their problems. Best of luck Jin Yang, I got your back.
Im so proud of being chinese today.. how we stand united under the earthquake how the nation cheer together at the olympic how chinese from all around the world donated so much money to the earthquake victims, next life i will be CHINESE AGAIN!
Brilliant documentary, the best on China, along with Wild China also on BBC. Cassian Harrison wrote, produced and directed this serious, what a talented film maker!
Before Taiwan realize the mistake you refer to, it will first grow up and leave the parent forever. There is such possibility that china has to face. So the mainland need to act quick and with force.
Two relies to my comments on two different videos back to back.
You must like them.
You have outdated and out of touch typical Chinese thinking. Go back to the Chinese dynasty era because that's where you belong: Great Grandfather to grandfather to father to son to grandson to great grandson. That's how the Chinese emperors used to rule China.
Come back?
Taiwan has elections later this year, next year, the year after next year, and then 2012. The fun just got started...
Would you just give the throne to someone who has no experience in ruling (taking care of) a nation with so many people? It's not that easy. You bunch of white men needs to back off everyone's problem. You guys just wanted to interfer then build a post/base and then slowly suck out the nation's resources.
They don't just pass the throne to their offspring. They have to make sure that their offspring is capable first. Plus how do you know that his son has no experience?
Is China also North Korea? Why do you keep on changing between Korea and China? They concentrate and maintain all powers within the family because it's the family's dynasty. Why would a Shang pass his throne to a Wei? You are so educated on Asian history and still at the same time dislike what we do. Is it because we don't butt into other's problems like the USA? China has it's reason and rights to become the next supperpower.
North Korea is the "modern day" example of ancient China in term of its political structure. I am just stating a fact that has already been written in history. History will determine whether or not that's good or bad. Family ruling has been the dominant force in Chinese history. Most recent example of that is KMT's Chiang Kai-shek passing his throne to his son Chiang Ching-kuo. Do you know what it takes for a country to be a "superpower"? Why don't you move to China?
Telling me to move to China? HAHAH why don't you move to China to go get a personal experience of China before coming in here and blasted us with only knowledges you learned from watching too much TV.
Because for you America sucks. China is better. USA is a superpower because it can tolerate people like you who live in it but also dislike it. It also respects human rights, offers equal opportunities to all(you included), and it has an independent "supreme court" that provides social justice for all and even correct American gov't's mistakes.
China has none of that. Not even close.
My knowledge about China is not from watching TV. I know more about China than what you think I know.
You are not lying when it is what you only know. You make your assumptions about china and my comments. I do the same to you. You threw in your knowledge of china and us. I do the same thing.
I had to learn Chinese, Chinese history, Chinese poetry, Chinese literature and writers, and Chinese geography taught by Chinese teachers(native Chinese speakers) spoken in Chinese instructions only.
No. There was no American involvement in all these class. All Asians students and all Chinese teachers.
Wow.. all of that and you still think that taiwan is right for running away from china. Plus where and when did I ever mentioned that I hate white people? You are making bad assumptions. "Hate" is a very powerful word I dare to not use. I'm purely just stating the real facts.
You singled out "white men" in your comment 6 days ago.
We live in a democratic society: No one is required to believe what the history books say. All of us are intelligent and mature enough to make our own judgement.
Care to specifically explain in detail why it would be beneficial for Taiwan to be united with China?
Yea, I singled out "white men" because it is the white men that jumped in to interfer with the chine/taiwan issue. Anyway Taiwan will never be considered a country by itself no matter how hard it tried to run away from china.
You are given an opportunity to make a case why it would be beneficial for Taiwan to be united with China. This is not a trick question. But, you chicken out.
Your behavior is a very typical Chinese respond regarding Taiwan. You have the same attitude that was present in the Chinese history books I have studied.
Pitiful? Chicken out? I never started the topic of Taiwan being beneficial to china. You did. You are simply adding in more topics to argue about. All because I stated that it's the white man's fault for interfering. And you know it's the white man's fault for interfering and backing up taiwan. Taiwan will always be part of China because it's people are chinese. You white men only interfer to make sure that it will benefit you guys and that means slowly sucking out resources from that area.
Then, make your case for why should Taiwan not run away from China. All I am saying is you gotta be able to convince other people about your belief. I might even agree with your views if you can persuade. But. you can't. People share your views don't even bother to persuade. They don't care. All you can do is saying shit like Taiwan will always be part of China because people in Taiwan are Chinese.
Say that trillion times will not change a damn thing.
First of all stupid, all I said was that it's the white men that jumped in to make sure taiwan won't become part of china. It's was just an internal issue between the chinese people, but white men jumped in to make sure they will benefit from it even though it didn't have anything to do with them. All you have to do was agree or disagree that it wasn't the white men that interfered. You are the stupid one who just kept changing subjects and wanted to argue more.
You still have not persuade me why Taiwan should not run away from China.
That's the million dollar question.
The "white men" you were refering to I believe never thought Taiwan would have democracy someday, they thought the Chiang family would rule Taiwan longer then it did, they never thought people in Taiwan would see themselves as "Taiwanese" not "Chinese".
These are the roadblocks to the unification between Taiwan and China you wanted to see.
I don't need to persuade you, i'm not here to persuade you. Since you already agreed that it's the white men fault for interferring an internal affair of a foreign nation. Typical USA attitude.
The white men are too far from the East..so to be able to keep an eye on china, they have to get closer to china they have to make sure that taiwan isnt part of china. It doesnt have to be natural resources, could be political resources.
The Taiwan straits is part of the corridor thru which Chinese naval merchants ship goods in and out of China. USA has worlds largest navy in world(11 super carriers, hundreds of destroyers and cruisers). Chinese economy requires constant flow of oil from Africa and Middle East. It would be naive to say that USA does not have mal-intentions with her Vast Navy, not to say the least her vast arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction..
You're posing a vague hypothetical suggestion to a concrete question. I asked how white men currently benefit from their supposed "interference" in the Taiwan Strait. White men, and other Americans, benefit from robust trade with China. You think they are going to start a war over this?
You say the USA has mal-intentions with its weapons of mass destruction. Tell me what intention China has with its weapons of mass destruction? Why do they point over 1,000 ballistic missiles at Taiwan?
the white man wants to use taiwan as an excuse to put troops around china... with japan, south korea also... the CIA is the one pouring oil into the china-taiwan fire..
Sounds like you got brainwashed by your own gov't about blood. I know Ma Zedong looks at you everyday in class through his portrait, and you are so scare of him so you start to learn things wrong. There is no such blood as 'Chinese blood".
I wasnt even brought up in China you idiot. If you want to be all scientific, fine! Blood is made up of cells which are coded for by chromosomes each made up of many pairs of alleles, these alleles will code for what kind of person the cells and therefore the blood belongs to! What? you think you mommy painted you white after shitting you out?
You ain't brought up in China? You sure acted like one. Ain't your mama ever taught you not to talk about other people's mama because you will get slap in the face.
please notice the face of the guy's wife from 4:42 to 4:48, it tells the truth, she is still a traditional woman, she still too care about her "husband's family", what she said about indepence of Chinese woman is not from her heart, Chinese still need to make affort to change their "outdated" mind...
u r wright.independence is just an unclear dream,actually she is tradional,unlike many Chinese women in city.however in big city women has their own career is not the minority. evironment makes the difference
