This amazing documentary explains why China never industrialized and never became a global power until very recently.

[MovingTarget]

Anyone got the cliffs notes?

 

[EvilYoda]

Yeah, not watching it because:

1.) Noob OP
2.) "watch it"

 

[Fritzo]

Because they didn't have any money to build anything until we started borrowing gazillions of dollars from them?

 

[eldorado99]

ITT I predict no one will watch the documentary because the OP said "watch it".

 

[PlatinumRice]

don't watch it, because I realized a working bang bros pass is given at some point in the video.

 

[EvilYoda]

LOL wut.

 

[EvilYoda]

Let's play a game of "how old is the OP?"

 

[PlatinumRice]

>implying you act more mature

 

[The Boston Dangler]

without watching anything, i'll tell you why:

the emperor ordered the destruction of their would-be world conquering fleet and pigeon holed every single citizen effectively outlawing growth and communication, and any good chinaman does what the fuck he's told. that's why communism is so "successful" there.

你好。我對毛澤東同文化大革命非常有興趣。我想問問為什麼毛澤東發動文件革命,導致大量人民死亡,浪費了八千多億的人民幣,導致國家的元氣大傷。為何到現在既中國人都仲咁尊敬佢 !!

Little confused there Fritzo? They didn't have money until they lend out the money they had?

 

[sdifox]

Because Confucious. That fucker stabilized the country, but at the cost of innovation.

And emperors prefer stability to innovation.


Besides, Chinese has always been better at killing themselves as opposed to killing other people.
