[Doxi99]

How come China invented gun and gun powder but none of their soldiers are armed with a gun?

[NarutoPHC]

@Doxi99 China did not invented guns but we did invent gun powder. However, the gunpowder were primarily used for celebrations such as firecrackers and not for killing purposes.

[Doxi99]

@NarutoPHC

Yeah I forgot however China invented hand-cannons and trigger mechanism in crossbow which is the foundation for modern gun. I found it amazed how they just stopped develop the weapon altogether and went back to the vanilla sword and spear warfare. Even back in the Ming dynasty soldiers were armed with light firearm.

[Hope4freedom76]

Fucking Brits destroyed so many of our priceless artifacts.

[oldgringo2001]

Not only the Brits made money on the Opium trade. It's the foundation of some American fortunes, too--including the Bush family. Kind of puts the War on Drugs in a new context, doesn't it?

[NotoTruth]

@oldgringo2001 the opium war is still going on..afgahn grows more opium than the rest of the world combined.thats why everyones hooked on ocycottin.perks ect...

[dalecampbl7]

at first they ship opium into china and ruin it...now they let China make crappy products to sell to the world...oh china...

[DoctorEeam]

@fastkillmmm Thank you very much. I thought it might have been something like that but was not sure.

[guardwok]

was opium use rampant in china before britain

[robertk1968]

@guardwok I think you will find that was not the case if one studies the British East India Co, they increased it 10 fold at least and forced only their product to be sold by the total control over the market, I would venture to suggest the the word 'Rampant' here is an exageration.

[DoctorEeam]

@itismepicasso I apologize for directing that question at you. It was meant to be directed at the uploader.

[DoctorEeam]

@itismepicasso At about 39:00 or so there is a scene where everyone is seated, they remove their hats, and the fellow behind the screen starts blowing smoke into the room. I have no understanding of what that was about.

[fastkillmmm]

@DoctorEeam I only watched a little bit of this movie, I think that fellow was helping official Lin Zexu to release some opium smoke into the room to see who had the addiction of opium, see that old guy fell down because he couldn't hold on anymore.

[DoctorEeam]

I wish I spoke Chinese so that I could understand better.Its beautifully made and the attention to small details are immaculate...

[rapartist43]

i no understand comment single

[LaPolymita]

Is there any way of loading the english subtitles, please I hate to miss half the movie.... Thanks

[shadowofears]

God bless China From Pakistan

[chiwing1993]

old school XD

[aczbdk]

Chinese are sick men of asia, get real, losers are losers ok.

[draylau1984]

@aczbdk why only sick mens in chinese?

how about Confucius, Li Bai, Burce lee, Yat sen, Lu Xun...etc

[98756543]

@aczbdk that was history and now it is undeniable that china is one of the top countries in the world. chinese is the second most spoken language in the world and even english speaking people are learning chinese so that they are not left behind in this world.

[danpt2000]

BTW, the man who played Lin Ze Xu also played T'sao T'sao in 3 Kingdoms TV Series.

[UnitedKorean]

Look. Brits killed off Australian Aborigines with Alchol too. 

[UnitedKorean]

Chinese people were silly to take opium from the British.

British were evil to sell opium to China but that is being smart.

[danpt2000]

@UnitedKorean: Chinese were silly ? British defied Chinese law by smuggling it in. Most Chinese probbably didnt know what it was. What if Columbia in S America today demanded the right to trade Cocaine, Heroin, Crack in the United States? How would US gov't react to that??? Do you know anything of American War on Drugs???

[evildeathmonkey1]

@danpt2000 No the Chinese were not ´´silly´´. But they were naive. They had no clue of how powerful European arms had gotten. They viewed themselves as a superpower, which they were some decades before. But europe had had the Industrial revolution and had made HUGE leaps forward in weapons design. And the same game is still played today, only today these things(usually) take place trough diplomatic channels. The US and oil is good example.

[aczbdk]

@UnitedKorean

Yea it is Chinese government's fault, when the western countries industrialize themselves and expand, those silly chinese leaders chose to hide and enjoy life. It is Chinese government's fault to put their children in that terrible position, and right now they are advertising about how they got defeated, Chinese are so pathetic and coward. XD

[translationwiz]

@aczbdk Oh yeah? Well, I hope you are around 25yrs from now, when Wang steps off his 2 man spaceship and walks up to you and whips out his nuclear powered, self lubricating, platinum cock and shoves it right up your western ass til rice stir fried pork comes shootin out of your nose. Cuz you sound like one of those smiling western faces that runs home to his basement and write in your diary how awful it is that these brown, yellow, and black men have such a better life than you do.

peace.

[aczbdk]

@translationwiz

"one of those ... and write in your diary"

So you are describing yourself. XD

[jojoinhere]

因该再拍个2011年版，让世人看看他们的真面目。

[Ravensteinzh]

I guess the difference between the West is that when they have a little bit of power they go on about invading, pillaging, exploiting, colonizing, conquering. If only China has been aggressive and expansionist in history, its leading economy in the world, superior technology and massive manpower for a continuous 2000 years could have... Oh wait Chinese people weren't like the European drug dealers.

[21433H]

this film deserves subtitles. westerners need to know how badly the chinese were treated back then.

[sh1ft9]

@21433H

[monoham1]

[robertplant634]

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 I only look up stuff that is real. Or at least plausible. You on the other hand, should look up tin foil hats.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn you don't talk that way to me, you nazi kraut motherfucker.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 At least I'm not wearing a tin foil hat, you gullible fool.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn didn't we finish you fuckers off in WWII? go and die with your Führer.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 Ignorant of history and of physics. Quite an achievement.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn jew bankers have taken over your country. your hero hitler would be turning in his grave.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 A) They are not Jewish.

B) The bankers have taken over *everyone's* country. Including yours.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn they are jewish. get your wiener schnitzel licking head out of the sand. fucking kraut bastard.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 A) Wiener Schnitzel is fraom Austria.

B) Only if you promise to get treatment for your Nazi tourettes.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn ficken aus, you prick.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 Learn the fucking language, you asshole.

[robertplant634]

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn shut your hole, master race motherfucker. go and have a beer and some sauerkraut.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 At least we *have* beer. No the vile piss you guzzle.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn motherfucker, how about i come to krautland to fuck your motherfucking ass? i'll rape the shit out of your butt and call it ice cream.

[TomFynn]

@robertplant634 Given the legendary knowledge of Americans about the world out side the US, I'm safe in the knowledge that you end up in Bactria.

[robertplant634]

@TomFynn yes the clock is ticking for those towelheads.

[itismepicasso]

@robertplant634 I know they want people to know they are jewish but it is not true. millions of jews were killed in world war 2. if the people in control were jewish that would never happen. Sasoon is not a Jew & not an Iraqi. Sasoon is a Persian. These families been dominating the drug trade in middle east for thousands of years. Pharasees of bible are the Pharsis aka Persians which Jesus called synagogue of Satan. They are evil pagans of Iran & Persia. See second half of Endgame by Alex Jones.

[itismepicasso]

@robertplant634 those people pretending to be jew bankers are the rich of USA who financed hitler & communism into power. they are persians not jews.

[acsodalatosmandarin]

@21433H

Not the Westerners: the British!

[itismepicasso]

@acsodalatosmandarin Great Britain, USA, Canada, France, Spain & Israel are ALL CONTROLLED BY DRUG INDUSTRY. Also Russia & China under drug traders & war profiteer SOCIALIST FASCIST CONTROL. Now wake up. Socialism is hell on earth. It is the government dictating & victimizing the people. There is no freedom or justice in these countries especially. All controlled from one country Finland.

[acsodalatosmandarin]

@itismepicasso

Sorry man, you misunderstood my comment. I feel like your comment has nothing to do with the film, mine is related to a comment commenting on the movie.

[itismepicasso]

@acsodalatosmandarin I explained about the british but it is not the british really but organized criminals sasoon family who used britain's ships & army to take over countries as china & india by turning the people into drug addicts. the drug epidemic in europe & USA also. I am telling you it is not Britain itself but internationally organized criminals Persians (Iran) doing this but you not understanding this. England is a puppet used by the drug lords. England is a little country as Japan is.

[Frequent2001]

@acsodalatosmandarin actually china was divided between many settlements, backed by different western countries, including france, the british, the americans, russia and even japan. (the shanghai international Settlement for example)

[MrDestruction25]

@21433H welp the idiot who posted it just missed out on tons of support,idiot

[21433H]

@21433H Hah! click on the caption button, the red one, and then click "translate captions" and then click on english! sorted!

[itismepicasso]

@21433H England was used by Albert Sasoon (who was not a Jew or Iraqi, he was a Persian - Pharasee whom Jesus called synagogue of Satan) to control & distribute heroin all over earth. England had the technology of ships & manpower. In return England got a large portion of the profits from heroin trade & got wealthy. That is how England was able to take over so much land & sun never set on Britania. Everywhere in the world heroin addicts are used to do crimes & help pedophile child sex traders.

[EPsuperFan]

@21433H do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men...xD I don't really blame the Brits for invading since China was both weak and rich: best target ever. And the invasion actually "woke" the Chinese to see how weak we are instead of dreaming of being the "most advanced".

[Jtomo1987]

@EPsuperFan That's true, the Chinese monarchy at this time thought China was untouchable because of their divinity, but on the ground though Chinese soldiers as you can see were armed only with spears and were far outmatched by British rifles and her mighty navy. It was a major wake-up call for the Chinese though, which in many ways was a good thing for China at this time.

[thequietstorm70]

no english subtitles

[Clee4000]

And thats mean too blame on the Chinese. What the hack they should have not sell opium to China in the first place. When the Chinese destroyed the Opium after that event the British Empire took it as an act of war.

[monoham1]

@Clee4000 imagine the wonders of civilisation now if a comet had hit china 1000 years ago and jolted them off their asses

we need something like that nowadays for america actually =/

[Clee4000]

Well if the British empire did not have druged the people and destroyed China's. People There would have been no Opium war in the first place. Well i should not say British but the traders from GB.

[Ravensteinzh]

@Clee4000 The British is directly behind the opium selling and opium wars. Having to go to China when its illegal and going to war for it because the Chinese burned it is proof enough. I wonder why the Chinese didn't go about colonizing the world when its navy easily dwarfed all the ships in Europe combined in size, manpower, ship numbers and fire power. Guess the British were too poor throughout must of their history, getting conquered here and there, had to vent their anger somehow.

[danpt2000]

@Clee4000: you see, even today USA outlaws controlled Substances (cocaine, heroin etc..). British didnt' use Opium, they just get ppl addicted and keep selling it.

[danpt2000]

@Clee4000: The British Traders you refer to, were part of the British East India Corporation. The British Crown was willing to use UK's military force to support such traders. British East India Co was viewed as "British Interests"...
