  • Some recent history for you: since 1999 the Chinese Communist Party has been persecuting the peaceful tai chi type practice of Falun Gong, adherents only do their exercises and follow the values of truthfulness compassion and tolerance. It's practiced everywhere fine, but what's wrong with Chinese government? Millions practiced before 1999 until the persecution began. Falun Dafa Hao. Let's not make the Chinese Communist Party destroy our precious ancient Chinese heritage.

  • then why is it called the far east?? I believe the united states is the center because everything is in relation to us ie: west , east and far east..........only kidding, kinda

  • this is perfectly correct video about chinese. the most important dynasties to the world is Shang Dynasty, then Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty. but poorly educated people in Chna and east asia misunderstood that manchu qing and mongol yuan were important, they were just part of chinese history but invented no thing to the world. even Forbidden City was built by han Ming, not manchu qing. and in English dictionary, chinese ethic means han,not manchu or mongol.

  • the land under the heaven.

  • chinese = korean

    japanese?.. uh.. where did they come from anyways

  • @PVumbe japan came from china. tokoyo translate to eastern capital. from what i know it came from a man who was fleeing from the first emperor of china. he tricked the emperor by asking for resourse and manpower(50 man and women). because at the time he was working for the chinese emperor in search for immortality. but when he couldn't find it he fled to japan. of course i am sure native japanese also help but at that time japan wasn't that populated.

  • @PVumbe also chinese and korean are two different ethnic to say chinese = korean is like saying english = french. its culture and its history started from different places. the chinese Civilization came the three main rivers that runs through china. while the korean came from a river near the border of north korea and china.

  • Why is the arbitrary date 4000 BC tacked on to the name of this video? The Shang Dynasty is the earliest Chinese dynasty and the beginning of what we think of as Chinese civilization. Before that, there were various early Bronze Age and Neolithic groups inhabiting the Yellow River region, but "Chinese people" did not yet exist. And for that matter, the Han Chinese weren't a consolidated ethnic group until the Han Dynasty centuries later.

  • is there a full documentary..?

  • @Heroisting <-----------yourtestimonial and tyrabanksno1

  • @japankamikazewarrior

    You are retarded.

  • I agree, china has kept its traditions and culture.

  • @Bmillie100 Yes it has haha

  • Rule the world?

    LMFAO.. How can you rule the world without ruling the MIDDLE KINGDOM aka China first? LMFAO..

    The Middle Kingdom didn't colonize other lesser cultures because it didn't need to. Unlike the puny and pathetic European countries who needed to go out to find more resources China had all it needed.

  • Why is it that Chinese Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world and they didn't colonized anything like Spain or the UK?

  • But why didn't they rule the world like white people did?

  • the great wall was actually built to keep people IN... yah...

  • @selphiexfairy lol funneh one

  • georgian kingdoms (iveria,lazi,kolkha)

    armenian kingdom

    greece

    egypt

    china

    rome

    those are the first \oldest/

  • dem Chinese are taking over!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • China had many rulers, like Korean/Koguryeo, Mongols, and Manchus. These kingdoms ruled china longer than the so-called han-chinese which is political term to hide the fact that today's chinese are little brothers of Korean, Mongols, and Manchus which ruled china longer. If you read the chinese history, the first Kingdom and last kingdom of china was created by Korean; this is in chinese history book, but not taught in china today.

  • @

    Do you have any idea of acient history of China? Korea was evaded by Ming dynasty several times.

  • @hzy7211 Ming is gone. Korea stand. Evading does not mean anything if you don't have victory. Do you know who evaded and destroyed Ming? Do you know who created Jin Dynasty?  Korean "Golden Kim Family" is emperor of Jin and later emperor of Chung Dynasty.

  • @klee4 QING not chung. the qing attacked korea a few times, and korea became a tributay state. it was either that or die. so dont go around sayuing manchus were korean.

  • @SHUTUPNOOB654 I believe that was more of Civil War between the Korean Kingdoms. Korean always felt WAR does NOT pay in long term by observing the New Neighbors every couple hundred years. Korean see it as subsidizing a poor country rather than tributary; Last one standing is the strongest as Qing is no longer. Yes, Qing not chung.

  • Sorry but the mongols,manchus are not koreans,they are one of the ethnic groups in China.The Han Chinese are the largest ethnic,which is 91% among all the nationalities ,yet there are also many others ethnic groups living in china.There are so many ethnic groups as the ancient chinese people have conquered more and more lands and unified as a country.But the empire(dynasties)is always seperated after long time united and united after long time weperated.It is just the matter of who be the ruler.

  • @adrianna5282 There are Mongols and Manchus and Korean in china today, because they ruled china longer than chinese themselves. Chung/Qing Dynasty of Jin Dynasty expanded the territory, larger than Tang or Han Dynasty. Han Dynasty was destroyed and their cultures lost 1000 years ago, as new rulers of china spread their cultures, example language Mandarin. Hanchinese mean "one/united" china as HAN mean One/United in Korean, its NOT refer to as ethnic. Last 100 years of chinese rule is small.

  • @klee4 There are chinese in korea too,just like there are different nations in America.In Qing ,China was ruled by an ethnic minority manchus,but sorry that manchus are not korean nor korea's,what are you going to do after getting supported that china is korea's?Korean isn't chinese, and korean isn't mongols or manchus too,the blood is different.You can study more about the chinese history to know about china,history is for us modern to learn from the past, it's a futile act to argue like this.

  • @adrianna5282 Mongol and Manchus are closer to Koreans than chinese.

  • @adrianna5282

    Manchus aren't even Chinese, just look at DNA. Nuarchi already knows that Korean and Nuchen were same people.

  • @Hanul91 Good one, but even the manchu admit themselves as Chinese, what ever you say, one country within 56 ethnic groups, even more and more koreans reside in Beijing China, I doubt the Chinese are treating them well!

  • @sonofmanchu

    Tell that to a Manchu living in Russia, they think we are same people.

  • @adrianna5282 this is perfectly correct video about chinese. the most important dynasties to the world is Shang Dynasty, then Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty. but poorly educated people in Chna and east asia misunderstood that manchu qing and mongol yuan were important, they were just part of chinese history but invented no thing to the world. even Forbidden City was built by han Ming, not manchu qing. and in English dictionary, chinese ethic means han,not manchu or mongol.

  • @adrianna5282 really? The Manchus were the Rulers of the Qing dynasty, how come when i take a tour of the Forbidden city, They talk like it's a Han Palace?

  • @rlatndnsxo

    Sorry but I am not sure about which comments you 're refering to ... I have no ideas of the connections to my previous comment.

    For the forbidden city :

    The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. I don't really heard of 'Han Palace' ,maybe it was just a translation name to korea as it was somehow the few palaces that left bahind. It was built during Ming Dynasty instead of Han Dynasty.

    BTW, what's your point?

  • @adrianna5282 When i mean Han i mean the Han race not the Han dynasty. The are occupied by the Forbidden City, was the exact spot where Yuan Mongolian Khans had their Palaces. It was the Ming who just simply build thousands of buildings in the plains required by their Confucious and Taoist ideals. My Point is Forbidden City, even Bejjing it self was under Ming control for couple hundred of years, and the rest it was occupied by Northern peoples, Bei Fang Min Zu as you call it.

  • i aint chinese.. but i really want to go to like those rich chinese vilages with all the cool buildings!!

  • Ancient China was quite fascinating.It was one of the greatest ancient civilizations.

  • china was stronger than europe until they stole the gun and mass produced it!

  • But they did defeated by Mongolians.They had gunpoweder and other great technologies like explosive bobs,but they defeated by Mongolians with only horse,bow and sword.They are just weak,they were used to pay tax since the first mongolian empire created,which was The Huns.And they controled by mongolians for 300 years .

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar

    you only ruled China for 80 yeasr, after that we slaugtered every dirty mongol in China, now we rule 6 million mongols in Inner Mongolia, your land is ours and your people is our brothers and sisters now.

    FACT:there are more mongolians in China (6million) than there are in Mongolia (2million), it is like saying there are more French in England than in France, funny fact.

  • @ChineseMartialArts88 How dare you say we ruled china for only 80 years.Read some history we ruled china for at least 250 years in history.Last mongolian Empire was lasted in China until 1500.Then we became weak,But chinese people did not killed many mongolians.Manjure dynesty or empire destroyed west mongolia and central mongolia, which was not chinese empire,they were from north side of kerea and they was barbaric clan until 1550.

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar

    wtf are you talking about? can you afford a propler history book for god's sake? Do you know the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan dynasty ruled China for 80 years and you will be lucky to find a mongol in the begining of Ming dynasty when we exterminated your race in China.

  • hey what so proud of my dear stinky mongol friend.China has been the master of Asia for thousands of years,most Asian countries respected China not because of its military but rather its cultural influence.And this had lasted for thousands of years unlike you stinky mongo pigs who made others to fear you instead of respect you through mass killing and rape,and your glory only lasted for less than 100years n then your people were screw up and never be able rise again lolol so funny.

  • @ValianTiger Hey Asian countries never respected chinese people,maybe they all hate you.Do you think mongolian people are stinky,no no no.

    If you compare our population house supply like hot water and electricity.Chine have much lower percentage of people who have hot water or electricity.

    Also Mongolian empire lasted more than 200 years.Yeah Yang dynesty laster for more than 150,but others lasted more longer,such as Golden Horde 250,Tsagadain empire about 260,IL khagat about 200

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar Haha......don't lie to yourself......China's economy is the 2nd largest in the world while you north mongolia is still among one of the poorest countries in Asia,even poorer than Cambodia.

  • @ValianTiger China is strong and powerful in economy and military,but people in china is still poor.In mongolia about 30% of the people are poor in the world rank, and another 5% is kind of poor,but they have basic supplies.On the other hand,more than 60% of people in china is poor.It is true that you have one of the richest people in the world.But that will cover only less than 0.01%,and rich people are about 1%,kind of rich 5%,normal people about 25% with basic life supply

  • @ChineseMartialArts88 Also that Inner Mongolia , you were very lucky in world war 2 because if we wanted we had a army to invade inner mongolia but russia did not wanted and if we attack inner mongolia, they said they will stop supplying products. It was for the peace of Communist country,Russia also did not want to give mongolian clans and lands,which is from Baikal Lake to Mongolian border.

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar

    LOL, you were weak as piss, after the fall of Qing Dynasty, Outer Mongolia was a puppet state of Soviet. On 7 Nov 1919, a Chinese Warlord named 徐树铮 (Xu Shi Zheng) stationed his army in Outer Mongolia, if you were so tough how come the Chinese can go to your and shit on you? I seriously doubt you have any good knowledge of historic events, are you a 12 year old school boy? LOL open your eyes, you gangenis khan shit was long gone, you are nothing now.

  • @ChineseMartialArts88 History never lies.However it is centeanly true that we ruled chin for at least 250 years.but not only some part of china,we ruled whole china.

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar

    Yuan dynasty was established in 1279 AD and fell in 1368 AD but by 1359 AD, Yuan Dynasty already lost Southern China and 1369 AD every mongolian in China was either killed, fled or surrendered to the new Ming Dynasty.

    You should learn some history or maybe you can't afford it in mongolia -poor ass shit

  • @janatajay World history said Yang Dynesty lasting officially for 200 years in china.But you did not invade or killed Mongolian people or land.Altougth we lost control in china,we had a land from north great wall(Inner Mongolia) to Baikal Lake(Land of Buriad).and from east kazakhstan to east china.

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar

    lol Yuan dynasty was established in 1279 AD and fell in 1368 AD but by 1359 AD, Yuan Dynasty already lost Southern China and 1369 AD every mongolian in China was either killed, fled or surrendered to the new Ming Dynasty.

    In 1358AD before the eve of the fall of Yuan, central China and South Western China such as Yunan, there were swarming with mongols but by 1369AD we killed every one of you mongols in China. And now we will rule your land - Inner Mongolia forever.

  • @janatajay

    brother, let that mongol dog bark, as long as we rule their land and people, they are nothing. Look at them now, mongolia is a shit, they are not even self-sufficient, everything has to be imported. They don't even have a proper modern airforce. The reason mongols want to tell everyone about genghis khan is to fool themselve about reality, because now mongols are weak and poor, they want to live in their history, let them be, while we rule Inner Mongolia and they can't do anything.

  • @ChineseMartialArts88 if were strong how did you surendered when we invaded you in 12 century,we had only 3 million people and 100000 soldiers.But chinese had more than 100 million people and more than half million soldiers and many advanced technology.

  • @OfficialPandorAvatar

    learn some English before you come here, mongol pig. You still brag about what happened in 1200 AD, lol, let's talk about NOW, we control half of your land and fu@uck your mongol sisters everyday in Inner Mongolia, Hongkong, Taiwan, and Macau, they are almost Chinese.

    Forgot to tell you another thing, China represents mongols more than mongolia, why? we have 6 million mongols living in CHina as Chinese, you have only 2milion population in mongolia, lol

  • mongols were raped and massacred after they were defeated by Ming dynasty,in inland China,the ethnic Mongolian women all became prostitutes while the men were used as slaves,only a minority of them managed to flee to northern mongolia

  • if you look at the type of people making amazing discoveries today.... that will tell you that maybe those same people's ancestors thousands of years ago are the ones who founded civilizations....

    Notice how majority of the greatest philosophers and scientists in our modern world Whites, Asians, Indians, etc... seem to be coming up with all the most advanced technologies today. This can't be just mere coincidence!

  • uhm..... you folks.... Indians, Chinese, Muslims.....

    They all got their stuff from the Indonesians!!! Indonesians are the oldest... their island is a portion of a sunken civilization that dates back before the ice age!!!

  • chinese history is so interesting..!! i can't wait to visit china one day!! love from australia

  • this is way better than the last china video. i have a test tomorrow and am watching ancient china videos while studying.

  • @nathv00: The Indus Valley civilisation is arguably as old as the Chinese; but they have little to do with the modern Indians, much like the Romans have with in common with today's Italians.

  • Çinin kanlı tarihine baktığımızda, her fırsatta komşularına saldıran onların topraklarını işgal eden bir sömürge devleti olduğunu görürsünüz.

  • those who conquered china became sinicized themselves n adopted the chinese way...somehow i wonder who conquered who lol.....

    the ancient greeks,romans,egyptians,sumeri­ans etc are all gone....but china is still around and will always be around.

  • China will always be around? I am not so sure.

    If global warming keeps going, China may also be gone (of course, together with many other countries).

  • indians r way older thn chinese, u shud have studied more, especially about the whole world.

  • And no today's Indians are not way older than the Chinese. The Chinese are the worlds oldest continuous civilization and todays Indians really don't have anything in common with the ancient indians.

  • its u who should learn up more history before posting any message here.

  • nope, you study more please. archeologists have found complex shaped jade figurines and ornaments and writings from as early as 9000 years ago.

  • @nathv00

    Indian is not a single culture nor a civilization!

  • its normal to build walls...it happens in every civilisation.....

    just like in modern days you build walls around your house to keep out intruders or wild animals.

    its part of our human nature.

  • china had a violonce from mongolia all times of history...they were very afraid of mongolia. they built great wall in order to safe their life.but nowaday , they doesnt like to talk about that why did they build great wall????i wonder that mongolians made china be able to build that.

  • Mongolia ain't shit nowadays, Chinese territory today include inner mongolia, that is way beyond the Great Wall, you barbarians is just a landlocked joke!!!

  • Dude, it's not the Mongols, it's the Huns. Read some history.

  • you guys are funny!!! there were no chinese people on this planet 6000 rs ago..blk asiatics ruled the east during this time frame..

  • dude, the recorded history of china lasts for atleast 4000 yrs, while every chinese knows that china have atleast 5000 yrs altho i think its more likre 4000

  • does it really...lol

    you need to do more research..

  • Dude, you should seriously take a bio or a evolution course

  • U can find Chinese everywhere on earth (:

  • By the way,some Korean gooks,please stop your stupid claims,stop dreaming of something that never happened in real history.

  • I respect Ancient China,Ancient Egypt,Ancient Greece,Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient India,they are all great civilizations.

  • china has been here since like 9000bc haha.

  • Greece,china and egupt have the best history

  • u are forgetting India, do u know how buddhism went to china?, do u know how kung fu originated in china?, do u know the source of most knowledge chinese have?

    everything came from india and thr sanskrit scriptures.

  • I don't think kung fu was somehow related to India?

  • lol whatever. Most knowledge chinese have comes from India? bullshit.

  • dude budhism the main religion of china originated in india, budha was an indian, all his knowledge was derived from vedas, the monks tht went to china took with thm this ancient knowledge from India.

    also Kung fu was practiced by buddhist monks in india as self defence when they went to china to spread buddhism, they taught this to ppl over thr .

    in crux, china has nothing of its own, everything came frm india and Indians are the oldest civilisation still in existence.

  • lmao china has nothing of its own? why don't you do some research and get back to me on that one. Honestly I'm too busy to be arguing with idiots over the internet.

    You're the one that needs to learn some history.

  • haha funny indian guy.modern indians have nothing to do with the ancient indus civilization.china is the oldest and longest civilization still around.

    yes its through shaolin kungfu roginally came from an indian monk but it was the shaolin monks who refined and modified it.that does not represent all forms of kung fu in china.....there are many other types of kung fu in china not just shaolin kung fu.chinese kung fu can be traced back to the xia dynasty more than 4000 yrs ago.

  • LMFAO, I did not read this comment earlier, if I had I wouldnt have wasted my time replying to your other post because you are clearly retarded. just because buddism came from india you say "Everything" comes from India, LMAO.

  • @nathv00

    Buddhism doesn't consider to be the Chinese religion until the Tang Dynasty. The main Chinese religion were Taoism and Confucianism. Later the Buddhism came into China. Kung Fu was never practiced by the Buddhist monks don't bullshit. Kung Fu (Chinese Martial arts) origin is attributed to self-defense needs, hunting activities and military training in ancient China. Hand-to-hand combat and weapons practice were important components in the training of Chinese soldiers.

  • You know what's interesting... a lot of the Chinese today don't consider Buddhism to be a "religion." There's not "God figure" like that in Christianity or the Allah in the Quran. A lot of people consider Buddhism to be a teaching or way of life...

  • It depends. Some people might see buddha as a God! Some might look at him has a person with great wisdom!

    In general, through out Chinese culture, the idea of God (or any super natural beings) is created by human imagination!

  • Actually... the Chinese culture does not believe in God at all. At least not in the Judea-Christian sense. But some Chinese do believe in fate/destiny (if that's what you meant)... Are you Chinese?

  • yes i'm Chinese!

  • I'm Chinese too :)  中国人不是从来就不信神么?

  • the Chinese doesn't believe in God!

  • @yawenalice we believed in afterlife, reincarnation and all that, but after Marco polo arrived and the silk road begin between china and Egypt i think that's where "GOD" was told to the Chinese.

  • @vitaliwths Don't forget Rome

  • @vitaliwths even india....

  • @vitaliwths LOL you forgot Rome and Persia! Greece, Rome, China, Persia and Egypt.

  • @vitaliwths mesopotamia and egypt are the oldest but the best are all these mesopotamia greece china egypt rome persian empires indu-valley

  • @vitaliwths - But Greece is now a bankrupt Christian state far from it's pagan glory. Egypt has become an Arab colony of backwardness and filth...only China has kept it's ancient culture and traditions.

  • by contrast when you talk about egyptian ppl, it took for the rosetta stone to put its heiroglyphics into context but the rosetta stone was lost until it was recovered. when something like a pillar of a civilization has been lost rendering it radically altered through time and not enhanced then that culture has ended you could say but in china even the foreign rulers went about trying to preserve and even assimilate themselves to the culture which is why chinese culture has lasted.

  • conversely, when you are talking about korean, japanese, taiwanese, mongolians, turkish, native americans, vietnamese, thai, etc you are talking about chinese people as well whereever you see the chinese culture

  • when you talk about chinese people, you are also talking about the japanese(i'm not the only one saying it, refer to physicist kaku) korean, turkish, tibetan, mongolian, vietnamese, filipino, thai, native american, inuit, mayan, im not saying literally but when you talk about chinese ppl you are quite literally talking about the culture that has survived.

  • Ok i forgot to mention one thing. U no thingz will be gone; it will be only history by then. Who started the 1st and 2nd WW, and try to invade other countries?? However, nobody blaim them now, it is only a matter of time when communist party fallz & China turnz into a democratic country

  • If Chin disappear who is gonna replace them the islamic ppl?? Just read some bookz about ancient china...not until Qing took over Chin r really clean, nice, and easy-going ppl just read that Taiwaness r reading too little bookz.

  • I kept wondering why there r so many crimez in the world and nobody carez? Becuz of their narrowness?? I kept wondering when Taiwaness swore so bad at Chin first, do they even think they behaving in an educated way?? Ok, i don't want to repeat myself again; just wait and see when commie fallz and China turning into a democratic country.

  • ....................r u really from Taiwan?? Anywayz, why do u alwayz try to provoke war here?? U no this will result into a long and bad argument, why do u do it at the first place?? U just keep repeating urself over and over again. This just showz ur ignorance. U no wat it is taiwaness who started swearing at Chin at first... Why u r not being fair? Trust me if u r in a Chin ppl's position u will do the same thing.

  • Why does it say 4000 BC in the title? China was in its neolithic Longshan phase at that point; I'd hardly call it Chinese civilization. Even the video says that Chinese civilization is 4000 years old, which would be roughly 2000 BC (a few centuries before the start of the first proven dynasty, Shang).

    Also, the narrator makes a ridiculous statement about China not wanting to contact foreign nations, when there is a mountain of proof to the contrary, even during the Han Dynasty (Silk Road!).

  • the first picture showed is Qing dynasty , the last dynasty of China. Totally wrong.

    do u know why?? cause the men in the picture keeps pigtail while in the 17 dynasties of China, only in Qing dynasty that people keeps pigtail. And you know why?? cause in Qing dynasty, the whole China is ruled by Manchur, one of the 56 enthic groups in China. And all people were forced to change their original hairstyle into pigtail.

  • China Ftw o.o

  • Sorry, i can't understand a word u are saying. Sentence structure and grammar is all wrong..

    Can you be more clear in writing your chinese please?

  • where did u get the 殷朝 蚩尤天王 遼朝 金朝 from??Han is not a single group, Han is actually united by Qin and given a name in Han dynasty. And ethnic groups really account for 21% of chinese population. How is that a domination??

  • Jap is not made up of a single group, they have ethnic groups too.

    Jap r racists. u guys even deny Nanking massacre....what an irresponsible deed

  • "Primitive is kind of a loaded word, and I think any people, including the decendants of the nomads you're calling primitive, would be rather unhappy."

    Ok. Maybe I should have chosen another word or phrase that wasn't so loaded. "Less sophisticated?" Perhaps? Let's face it, their societal structure was rather simplistic compared to a sedentary society. Wasn't their fault, though. They didn't have fertile lands, but lands fit for herding and grazing. It's their environment.

  • .As reflected in youtube ,you can find some unfriendly people of Korea and Mongolia

  • For the past thousand of years,the main threat of China was from the North.Now, on one hand China should be friendly to the Northern neighbors, on the other hand China shall be careful of the northern people

  • at 27 second he says cweeated loll!

  • The Chinese considered their land the "center of the civilized world" because for such a long period of China's early history they were surrounded by rather primitive nomadic and semi-sedentary societies in all directions. It was not until the 2nd century BC that they came into contact with more sophisticated civilizations in Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.

  • Primitive is kind of a loaded word, and I think any people, including the decendants of the nomads you're calling primitive, would be rather unhappy. Though the Chinese may have thought so, I think we've gotten to a point where that word is somewhat obsolete, as it's highly subjective and misleading. China was conquered by foreign nomads again and again (nothing primitive about their military), and China in fact reflected more of a melting pot or crucible. It's ancient rhetoric, not modern.

  • well, china will conqure the world now, it is time that china rule the whole world... economically, cultrually and mentally...

  • of thats the attitude of the chinese ...

    they wont last long

  • rhetoric

  • hi whats up

  • jaycehoho china was the most poweful country in the world for many time in human's history。"evry one had became patient before" but you should think about the performance of china at last several thousand years。This century china will be back!

  • Okay only if us keep giving them simple assembly line jobs...that's what you ppl are capable of... we are the consumers and you ppl are just the laborers.

  • Jayce moron, you people just consume, lol, you fucking parasite, your people are not capable to make any decent thing, cuz you people are too stupid.

  • I learned something new recently. Even as late as 1890, the largest economy in the world was China's.

  • Yes but at that time China was in some toruble cos of the Opium War and other stuff like that.

  • The Opium War(s) and China's subsequent defeat at the hands of Europeans was a sign of the decline of Imperial China. After decades of internal turmoil, and interference from external powers, China is once again taking world notice.

  • thats why drug dealers in china sentence to death penality :D

  • Korea was a province of china in tang dynasty even Japanese knew it . Also the present day Korea was a part of Yan Kingdom before 235 BC, and Yan was annexed by qin.

  • You are a peace of shit., Japan only touched less than 50% of china. China will eventually defeat Japan without any help. Also 40% of Japan was a colony of china 900 years ago , China defeated Japan so many times since 895 A.C. even Japanese written Language are imported from china, get a brain you stupid fucktard. I think you and your race are stupid shit.

  • china, japan. can u both just get alone.. they all have the same size dick!!! love each other.. peace

  • no japanese have smaller dick dumbass

  • Why Koreans always try to steal Chinese history????? I hate Koreans.

  • What are you saying tianchaoren?You are not even making sense?If you are learning English then I can understand that.But please stop spamming crap that's distorted lies.The Chinese were actually slaves throughout most of their history(unfortunately).They were conquered by Mongols,Jusin(Koreans),Manchus­,etc.I feel bad for you.You are too ignorant to see what's going on.Let me say this once:Koreans were never slaves to the Chinese.That only happened in your "little fatasy world."

  • well if u knew how to read chinese and go check out some ancient court auditin records, u would learn how, koreans kissed chinese arse! korean kings never called themselves kings when writin letters to chinese emperors. they refered the chinese emperors as their master... but the korean jzt cant accept the fact nd try to distort and twist the legitimate history facts. nd abt the chinese often ruled by others``c'mon``plz dont be funny!

  • I wasnt being funny,if you knew any better of China's actions-they distorted Korean history,not the Koreans.Koreans are trying to revive it but China tries to steal it through its propogandas.Of course Koreans were considered "slaves" to the Chinese at one point.And what you said were true(Koreans looked up to Chinese kings).However,they werent slaves all the time.I hope you weren't being serious refuting to my "China was often conquered by its neighbors."It truly happened,just look in websites.
