I am ethnically Chinese not born in China but this documentary brings a tear to my eye. I remember the poverty that was experienced in the 70's and to see China as it now stands is nothing short of a miracle. A miracle created by the energy of my Chinese brethren. Yes there were mistakes along the way probably many injustices too but the result is inarguable. If not for this result a great many would have perished through poverty and hunger. Somehow I have a feeling that we are only looking at the conclusion of Phase 1 of this China Dream. Think Phase 2 will be even more exciting

I completely agree

在悠久历史上，中国一直是个强国。这一百年屈辱了，但这一代中国人展现的精彩，是不可比拟的。小时候我饿肚子，现在我有好几套房子和几部汽车，就跟做梦一样。

Please people Turn to Jesus Christ before its too Late.

A quote from the Three Kingdoms which every Chinese has watched on TV, one of the four major literature classics of China, states: "He who wins the hearts of men will rule the world." The same applies in the 21st century, where the internet makes information dissemination global. My bet is on China because integrity and benevolence (a prequisite Confucian value for any government officials) will always triumph over hypocrisy and aggression as practised by USA. China's foreign policy is win-win. USA's foreign policy is "if you are not with me, then you are against me" A zero sum game mentality. If USA wins, people around the world will get the status quo, a world full of sufferings in many parts of the world. If China wins, there will be peace and harmony around the world, a better world. A global Singapore, so to speak, where people of different cultures and religions can live in a thriving society. USA rules by divide and rule, hence the constant wars and the global humanitarian crisis that follows, caused mainly by the West. China rules by uniting the world, hence the BRI, allowing global cultures to live in harmony. To live and let live. Finally, zero wars, unless of course, the West continues with their military imperialism.

@Lila Brown hi im a chinese christian, but please, its unnecessary to bring religion into this

I am also of Chinese descent not born in China (born in Vietnam) but this documentary touched me. I was in tears at the end of the video, even though I don't care what the politics are, the words that Mr. Xi Jinping said carry a lot of weight and it makes me proud to be of Chinese blood.

Agreed and I am also Chinese abs half vietnamese born in Vietnam 😃😃😃😁😁😁👍👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

I first travelled to China in the 1970s during the Cultural Revolution. We entered China through ShenZheng. The changes i saw then and when I next returned are phenomenal.

Very good summary of the growth of China after cultural revolution. I learned a lot. I'm really amazed by the quality of contents Singaporean CNA have produced on China related topics. It's truly exception in quality and the attempt to be unbiased in their reporting is well appreciated.

Agreed..🤝💐..

Amazing informational video that highlighted many perspectives! It was so refreshing to see content on China that uses factual information from its history and explains its rise in detail through different lenses. Hope to see more content like this in the future!

For me..the capability, hardwork, intelligence & the real motive that china has is incredible...such growth in a short span of time (incomparable).🇨🇳 Much respect from India🇮🇳 🙏

Exactly. I am filled with respect, but also envy.

The world need more Indian like u

@yyc oh thank you, I'm so glad to hear that☺

Real Development comes through Socialism. From India

China is really great but just annexing over other countries territories is just barbaric because we live in a morden world

Alex Ma is quite correct when he says Deng moved with the times and his gamble paid off. I wish we in India had done the same. We live in a much more complex and closed world today! I hope we are able to write our own development story. This is a great channel and a very balanced coverage of the issue.

Best wishes to India.

印度的人才都去美国了

Hard to achieve with democracy. Popular leader has higher chance to win then capable leader. Asian system/traditional system only pick between capable leader vs capable leader to compete. More to selection then election. Wether to be leader of farmers regarding irrigation..leader of village etc. The control system ussualy form between eldery and young generation to discuss and set the goal to be achieve. Experienced/Capable village leader if they good then will be nominated to compete to be distric leader..capable distric leader will be nomimated to compete to be mayor and keep going up to the top leader.

Genuine and true respect for China and the Chinese population.

Back in 1992 Francis Fukuyama, an American economist published a book with the very humble title 'The End of History ...', in which he argued that Western Civilization had been so successful that every country in the world had to adopt Western ideas and beliefs if they wished to be prosperous. In fact, in the future all countries were going to be Westernized. In effect, history was over and there was nothing left to write about - the West was victorious and the rest had been annihilated. This is how the West went to sleep and meanwhile on the other side of the ocean, a giant woke up. History did not end but the history of Western domination may very soon come to an end.

don't know if fukuyama will be proven but there is nothing wrong in learning ideas from west. that's what westerners are good at: looking for ideas, opportunities and advantage. remember chinese invented gunpowder, india contributed important concepts in mathematics among many other things. Westerners combined them improvised to overpower and plunder china and india among others. Its not a statement of hatred but objective truth. Those that do not learn from others and improvise are doomed. Want to prevent others from rising? Dont let them learn from you. For example some developed countries now accuse china of ip theft on moral arguements but their true fear is that china is learning from them and may rise as a potential rival

Where did communism come from? I'm pretty sure Germany is the west. Marx, Engels and Lenin, aren't they westerners?

simon wang Chinese communist party is not communist now.

@TenserKeg Maxism changed China, China is changing Maxism. It's none of conflicts.

China isn't communist now. It's capitalist. Where is capitalism from? The east?

Highly appreciated of the challenges faced by the people of China in moving forward to reach the Chinese dreams 👍👍👍

Wow, "amazing", hats off to the vision of their leaders, admitting their mistakes and continuously correcting them, stamping out corruption. Respect.

“Admitting their mistakes” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A very balanced story. Salute to China and it’s people ✌🏼

Nice documentary. This help me understand China better. I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zheng He came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victory was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not buy looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong.

When the economy is $1T it is comparatively easier to achieve 10% growth annually but if the economy is $14T, a 6.2% growth is indeed impressive. It is like generating the size of the Australia's economy. How many countries can achieve such a feat, CNA? Hence, it is erroneous to say that China's 6.2% growth is the slowest since 2009. Do it in the right perspective, not distorting the facts.

Most people can't do math ! ...LoL

It's NOT 'distorting' or 'erroneous' if it's statistically right. It isn't wrong to say it's slowed. That's % and stats for you. The EXPLANATION and CONTEXT is what needs to come after a statistical observation, for it to be a statistical observation with interpretation.

@Dude Trust Me ...and which year's GDP are they comparing it to the last one or the current one ? So in essence they are distorting it since the annual GDP is dynamic from year to year and it has been increasing ! You can't say a 6.5% for $13T when the following year's GDP is at $15T at 6.2% has slowed ! Wall Street mumbo jumbo at it's best, they like to play the game that India's GDP of $2.5T has a 9-10% growth compare the PRC's at $14T at 6.5% only dummies would fall for that which is basically most North American investors !

Just the revenue from the growth rate is larger than Australia's economy ! ...LoL

I like the last remark she said " In talking about current challenge of US-CHINA trade war intentions ,for example , their response are consistently measured. China ,According to them ,has been facing obstacles and hardships at every turn in their 5000 years of civilization ,and not just on this occasion of their 17th anniversary , this is but a smell hiccup on the spectrum of time. "

70th.

70th! NOT 17th... 😂 😂 😂

Seeing how China’s leaders have been able to lead and transform a poor nation into a world economic power and lifted its entire population out of poverty in a mere 40 year period, has made me proud to be a Chinese, albeit one who hailed not from China but from a South East Asia nation.

Wow when I saw the title I didn't expect it to be such an unbiased and informative video about China. Thank you so much CNA.

India is going to be the most populous country in few years but we as a nation has nothing learned from Chinese story. We just compare ourselves with Pakistan only ignoring the fact that the giant above us has done tremendous reforms and utilized its potential. We are people think about our glorious past but doing practically very minimal to achieve what we were 2-3 thousand ago. China got really good leaders, I hope someday good sense will prevail in our leaders and people too.

Though I wish the same, I am not very optimistic due to the way how India’s leader are selected.

If India's government can perfomed like China's government even though its communist but its really captalist in business, It too can be a thrid or even secound world economy in a short time because of her vast resource and human population which has a big middle class. But then the West won't want that to happen.

Thank you for this high quality and informative review of modern China's renewal.

Propaganda

Why do people want to decide what is good for China? Let her people decide what they want. A society is built from its historical and cultural traditions and any drastic change will cause upheavals which the people may not be able to cope with. As long as they do not impose their form of governance to others, they should be not reason for the rest of the world to worry about. For the outsiders, we should admire the hard work the Chinese people have undertaken to create what they have to-day. It is obvious that some powers seem unhappy that this billion plus people simply refused to accept what they deemed to be the perfect society where the poor has to remain poor if you do not have the resources to improve yourself. There is no minimum support like "let there be no poverty at $XXX income per year". Yes, if you are not prepared to struggle in the city, stay put in the rural area so that you could at least work in the farm. Such approach may seem unacceptable to some but it permits those unable to compete in the city an option in a lesser competitive scenario. Come 2030, maybe the world would see a different China!

Say what you want about China but the way they reformed their country and the way they modernized is extraordinary. Xi Jinping is many things but he truly has a vision for his country.

No matter what political system, its ultimate purpose is to make people's lives better

I am 82 years old , am glad to see China rising to be one of the strong nations in the world within my life time ! George Wu, AIA, Architect, NCARB 2019-10-14

georgewu5 Welcome back to the ancestral land to actually feel the rejuvenation on the Middle Kingdom, greetings from Shanghai!

Georgewu5, This is exactly what my elder bro 5 years older than you actually said. That makes 5 of us - you and me and my siblings and cousins. Go China, go!

papa wu

I hope our people will be inspired by these success by China. Too many corrupt in our government, self centered egoist rulers, they fill their buckets, leave nothing for the people.

Same here. A racist in america would tell me to go back to china about 30 years ago. Now I can say good idea! to that same racist remark.

Re-emerging China miracle is created by millions and millions of hardworking Chinese and the leadership of China. Salute.

You sell cheap materials that easily broken so we can buy again after a year. Why try not improve quality so we can try your so called hardwork.

@Airosmith Redila China produce cheap and expensive products, you can shop at dollar store or Dillard, Nordstrom, they all made in China, how durable is the product, depending how much you can afford. Don't blame China for your inability to pay.

@dragondescendant1 im not talking how much, im talking bout quality. Can I change the topic? Do you guys had lore about sorcery I mean ancient or ancestory book tell taoist,monks,practitioner or even immortals? I'm not talking about modern one, but the sources of it.

@dragondescendant1 expensive or not, anything made in china is CHEAP in quality. Shit always breaks down.

coshyno Almost everything is made in china, so everything is cheap?

Remarkable people that deserve admiration and respect, amazing humans. Hope to get the opportunity to go there again ‘ and check out the advancements. Truly great focused nation. Mark Riley from Australia.

Deng Xiaoping came to Singapore in the 80s and befriended Lee Kwan Yew. Since then hundreds of Chinese diplomats has been visiting Singapore yearly to learn. Singapore contributed greatly to China's development and i hope this friendship will last forever. Love China!

Love Singapore, Love China, Asian friendship last forever!

Even the system and the strict laws are getting similar lol

The Internal Social security law which was implemented in HK recently was in Singapore LONG ago. LKY was a strong leader and there was no USA and/or UK and Australia sticking their beaks into Singapore's affairs, hence LKY succeeded in building harmony and peace for Singapore.

@Medial canthus There was this story about an American breaking some law in Singapore, the POTUS himself sorta begged LKY to not use caning on said person, but no, in Singapore, LAW is LAW, whip away lmao

Thank you! Singapore!

My upmost respect & love to China 🇨🇳 from Singapore

rip

There is a lot the UK and China can establish through clearer relations that we can learn from each other for the betterment of human development and our potential for economic prosperity together.

No matter what ideology a society may elect to practice as long as the leadership can provide the necessary opportunities for its people to progress economically. If you are trapped at the bottom of the economic pile with no opportunities to change or progress, all the liberty preached is useless. Words cannot provide one with shelter or fill your stomach. Just ask George Lloyd! Why can't the world leave it to the Chinese people to decide the kind of leadership they want? If at all, if it is so bad, the 1.4 Billion would demand for a change. Ask any average citizen the world over, if their economic future is forever stagnant, would they be able enjoy the kind of prosperity they can expect? At the end of the day, the current privileged and so-called educated of the West has only one agenda: to preserve the status quo through propaganda. The sad thing if many Western educated non-Whites seem to buy this idea wholeheartedly!

great documentary, it's one of the few foreign documentaries that actually sets China within the right frame of mind, seeing the PRC as a continuation of the Chinese civilization since antiquity. CCP's ideology even under Mao have always had elements of traditional Chinese governing philosophy, Mao is known to be favor the traditional Chinese governing philosophy of Legalism. and imperial China have always had the system that combines Legalism and Confucianism,. Today China is the same. it has a system of Legalism and Confucianism with socialist characteristics. China will forge ahead and reform and find a system that best suits their needs, I personally believe President Xi is the right guy for that job.

not really , they partly telling the truth but insert too much their own judgement and thought! not a good documentary.

This is singapore documentary basically singapore is a chinese satellite state 💪🇨🇳🇨🇳🇸🇬

@mtksbctk CNA's treatment of China is slightly on the friendly side, but considering how the rest of the world portrays China, it's a breath of fresh air.

@Alan Friesen of course, we, the overseas chinese, are proud of china's achievements

How come ur so knowledgeable about the Chinese politics and history? I wanna learn more about China too turns out all I can find is just some biased or made up shit..

Excellent unbiased documentary!. Heads up CNA.

身为华人，真的为整个中华民族感到骄傲

Me too.

@georgewu5 the Chinese are also proud of the ethnical Chinese around the world, for their sacrifice and dedication throughout the hardship and support to their home nation. China is not a state, it's a civilization, the doors should be open to the ethnic Chinese around the world.

谢谢我们全体华人都要让世界看得起我们

Hope China continues its path to take its rightful place as one of the leading civilizations and continue to be a positive force in the world. The growth and improvement in the last few decades have been nothing short of amazing. Cheers, China.

Cheers to you too, man.

Jammy joe china doesn't really have communism. It's the a mixture of most effective elements of free market and statist nationalism. This is by theory the most stable and rapid model of growth.

I wish you all the best but it’s scary to see sector after sector fail the Chinese economy. Did this really all start with Evergrande or is it bigger. I know the property market is not healthy but neither is local debt and the energy policies. I’m worried these problems follow so close after another and hope China can keep stable. The world will suffer if China collapses. Biggest problem is the falling trust in the real estate , the biggest growth driver for decades

What a great step and hardwork for the people of China, Chinese people are very lucky to have a successful leader!

Chairman Xi deserves a Nobel Peace Prize! for his vision and accomplishments that have benefited so many people. I was fortunate to have met Mr.Zhu Rongji, and was impressed by his vision, aspiration and initiative.

哈哈 为啥要一个外国的奖，而且还是一个虚假的奖，拿了自会沾了自己的手

I agree I don’t buy into a lot of western propaganda but China’s rise is truly astonishing especially what transpired in the 100 years of humiliation

China our cultural ,traditional and ancient brother💖good to see this development !! Best wishes from india🇮🇳

China rise and becoming a word leader is very important, as it provides a much needed balance of power, against the US and Europe.

thanks for making this good documentary to introduce china to the world from an objective angle.

What a remarkable experience for the Chinese country 👏 What a wonderful job 👏 China 🇨🇳 👏 more power to the Chinese country 👏 😀 👍

a great achievement for the chinese people, a rich and beautiful culture that will bloom around the world.

The Chinese people will be forever remember as what it means for a people united by common vision to build a prosperous nation from the loots of extreme poverty to the reigns of wealth—committed to enhancing the human capital of the country! Africa relationship with China shouldn't be based on aid, or protracted loan! African leaders must approach China with the mission to learn, apply lessons and forge win-win partnership! With Africa's huge population dividend, what we need is perhaps leaders with economic vision, and faith in the people. African leaders must start to believe that the solution to Africa's economic miracles is not found in our large Churches or Mosques! We need solid market-based reforms, one-currency, free trade, and investment in Agriculture, and infrastructure!

If running a company is difficult, to run a country with 1.4 billions people is beyond an extra ordinary human's ability.

Yes, Mao disastrous policy caused millions of death in China, but think for a while. The Nationalists had escaped with all the wealth , elites , human capital to Taiwan. US also embargoed China in 1950. That means China had zero foreign capital , lack of economic experts to run the economy well . Only 600 +million poor peasants to support her.The only help came from USSR which severed ties and stopped all aid to China in 1960 due to ideological differences.Thus, Mao had to divert the bulk of the ctries resources to the military industrial complex because USSR ,Taiwan would invade China anytime during those era. Moreover , China heavy military industry was already in progress and could not be given up even though USSR experts or technicians have all left. Thus, light industries such as consumers goods and others had to be sacrificed . Hundred of millions were jobless . People communes were one way to solve this problem.Cultural revolution is another way used by Mao to purge certain party members as well as to drive all these youths away from cities to rural areas to work for the peasants so that social upheavals will not occur in the cities.

Michael Griffiths 6.2 % growth this year and an economy around 28 trillion gdp ppp! China is the largest economy in the world and has the most engineers and scientists . 30,000 miles of high speed rail, 250,000 miles of highways,, belt and road, etc. Your about to get your wish how smart they are! They were the largest economy in the world until 1840 when Europe not wanting competition waged wars on them! The Chinese market is the largest in the world and no one is going to pick the American market of 320 million people over 1.4 billion Chinese simple economics ! And the EU well their market is larger then America's also! The USA market is only 14% of global totals and shrinking by 2024 around 10%! Markets Markets Markets !And by 2030 India will also surpass the American market! And many other smaller markets are growing along with the Russian Market with the most natural resources in the world and the middle of Eurasia belt and road!

@Prime Arch Yes the western backed army got its ass kicked !

If the chinese people let the Kuomintang rule them they would be having GDP per capita as high as Taiwan.

@Prime Arch Not the Red Guard, the Red Army. The Cultural Revolution was later.

我的国家经历了很多，现在终于繁荣一些了，这要感谢一代代国民的努力，也更要感谢外界善意大力的帮助和支持。但愿我国近代的一些成就不会使我们变得arrogant，希望未来全世界的人们能更多的互相理解，共同进步

💪💪

Also thanks to the 45 million people who starved during the great famine

Half of China's total economic output is foreign capital income and labor income. A large part of the remaining half of the total output value is the real estate bubble. This is why Premier Li Keqiang said that the monthly income per capita of 600 million people is less than RMB 1,000. China has bought some patented technologies, and almost all core technologies in various industries are in the hands of foreigners.

There is an old saying in China: The world must be united for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. This means that no empire will never decline. The dynasties of China's thousands of years of unified Confucian culture have only changed in accordance with the historical trend and changed from the empires of Spain, Portugal, France, and the United Kingdom to the United States. Any empire will have a day of decline. You can’t resist when fate arrives.

There is no way, we tried to focus on inner issue, then British came. We wanted to develop economy since 1930, then Japanese came. Without strong military, we would be bullied again and again, this world is cruel!!!

🙌🙌🙌 It is refreshing to see countries make progress

China is incredible for what it has accomplished in the last 50 years.

China is to be deeply admired. All the military hardware such as fighter jets, helicopters, tanks, machine guns, submarines, and other military arsenal's you name them, were built by China itself.

The famous French military leader and emperor Napoleon Bonaparte once said about China, “There lies a sleeping giant. Let him sleep! For when he wakes, he will shake the world.”

They were taken from Ukraine. Not itself.

I was critical on china and still am, mainly because of their values. But I can't help but look at how they did it and I respect how they did it, building an economy with a 7 year span not a lot of countries can make that possible.

You are critical of our values??

Many of the chinese citizens during the great famine went to go join the military, because food in the military was not limited. It was because of one person, ONE PERSON, from the Chinese military went home and walked more than 2000 miles to his home from Beijing. He discovered all his family starved to death, and as such, walked back to Beijing to tell his authorities. He saved millions of lives.

Love China. This progressive country has helped my country Kenya progress alot in transportation infrastructure, can't wait to see a Chinese led future.

As a political game it seems, to get your country in debt.

So they own you.

But I don´t know

@Michael Hayes BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT VIEWS/PERSPECTIVES AND ALTERNATE AGENDAS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. YOU HEAR?

I'm glad That Singapore' CNA made this video to educate the masses about China.

great hard-working Chinese people, the best government and law system, love respect from Germany

Chhotu chutiya Hi : and The Chinese people demand that they do their perfect work in any job, not only fast, but also not afraid of hardship. And the work attitude is serious, and any work has rich experience. For example, the work of making brocade, only Chinese workers can create the most beautiful fabrics, especially the Chinese hand embroidery and hand-carving are perfect masterpieces, because the Chinese are not only hardworking, but also patient and gentle personality, and any job never working With rough . also the man or women their hands are magical.!

Chhotu chutiya Are you kidding? Hahaha, look at their contributions in every field of work. I think maybe your wife or girlfriend is taking care of the family at home, so they can't work, but taking care of the elderly and children at home is also a kind of work and contribution, so your work will be more motivated😃

@H Y :He is very handsome and sexy man。 you're very pretty girl.

Little Tiger 🐯 👀

Not only hardworking but the have the highest IQ (by the western survey).

China has well and truly caught up and should be commended for what it has achieved in such a short period of time. I would prefer it was not so aggressive on it's path glory....

A well deserve achievement. Success built with Peace and Win Win Culture

After centuries of Western domination and humiliation at Western imperialists, we now have an Asian super power on the global stage. This heralds the beginning of the return of Asia, the world shifting back to its natural state of things before the industrial revolution. Asia got left behind because China got too complacent after 2 centuries of Qing rule and various Indian kingdoms warring at each other. Now China has risen, India is gaining momentum and putting itself back together. Now for the Asia as a whole to come together, set aside our differences, see the bigger picture and march towards co prosperity. Never again we will fall to divide and conquer by outsiders.

Asia super power? 🙂 Power probably yes....Super? Not yet

@Des Chan The result of trade war will answer that question for you. Who's the stronger power, US or China. 2020 US recession, look out for it.

@Pta trit China relent in trade war...they hv lost

@Des Chan You've been reading too much fox news and western media. Explain to me how China has lost. In the past 40 years since economic reforms, China had not a single recession, averaging growth at 9.5%. US recession is coming next year, how does one win trade war by going into recession? Use your brain. Don't tell me you're one of those Taiwanese "I'm not Chinese" degenerates.

@Pta trit I dont watch western media...US will not go into recession in 2020.....China is already in recession (if u r aware)....it would be worst next year. In trade war, China has no more bullet to respond to US....US will continue to add pressure....China is just a beating duck !!!

The one-child policy also saved China from overpopulation and starvation.

yes despite being smeared as inhuman for the evil minded

@Fanny Albi We have to ignore some of them. Some may be forced to type that way with control thinking. Reeducation camp can do that to a person where you are taught "not how to think" but "what to think". Even those who realize what they are doing is wrong will have to repeat it because their action is being watched too. which begs the question if Xi is part of the victim who truly believes the party because the way he is taught or knows its darkness but felt there is no salvation to it besides continuing down the dark road.

RFC Fung FYI. So what did China gain by giving Russia a landmass that is 100 times bigger than the island of Taiwan that the party is trying so hard to obtain; just to use it as a political clip?

Very admirable people and nation. Congrats! China 🇨🇳 is great 👍again.

谢谢

Thank you. Best wish to your country as well. Always remember the wound made by westerners in Africa. We will all stand up again!

China please continue to grow from strength to strength. The world and people need a good and successful China.

It was an unbelievable achievement. Why? I could not even believe when I can not finish my dinner and my grandparents tell me how they had to eat grass and tree skin to be able to survive when they were young.

All this is within the past 70 years ! Imagine !

As a Chinese, what you are talking about is just happening during our dinner time

My grandparents told me the same.

I remember in the ‘70s regularly receiving letters from relatives in Fuzhou asking for gifts such as bicycles. Today China has advanced economically so much today (2021) and lifted 800 millions out of extreme poverty. Singapore salute China!

The narrator pronounces the Chinese names in accurately. When G7 countries are gathering up to counter China these days, it is specially interesting watching this video. I'm Chinese and I know a lot of people don't like China. But you're welcome to visit China after the pandemic.

Lee Kwan Yew did open Deng Shaoping’s eye to the outside world but it is the Confucius influence and the people that account for the dramatic rise of China and even East Asian countries.

The rise of Chine gives me goosebumbs and shows and proves to me that African As well also needs leaders who are hungry for a bigger African a Giant Africa and We Can with in a span of 20years rise from the world sad story and being called 3rd world to become a World power who will speak and the world must listen.This is my Black Hydra

Yes, we also believe that, Africa will rise, JIA YOU!

It is only fitting that the birthplace of mankind would become a spectacular superpower, best wishes from Malaysia

I am an overseas Chinese. Can’t speak or write mandarin. But I am proud too. Thanks for the video CNA.

It is true China is non-stoppable by any forces to be the most powerful country in the world.

Nice! China would never be stopped by anyone! Go China! 🇨🇳💯🔥

CNA has very good docs.👏👏

Love singaporean documentaries. Talks both sides. I am glad this video mentioned the corruption esp. during Zhang's era.

I don't want to see China to rise to abuse others but to help others to be happy. Not to show muscles but to show peace and harmony with all of others besides itself. Respect and tolerance towards all. I want China to care to all or beat it. Leave the world if they don't to help us and understand us and what we want and believe in.

Much respect from México 🇲🇽

as an Indian, i think china and india have great history and class culture.. and I remember my 30s when I bought a book named MANDARIN written by robert elegant..(even though I am not fluent in English)

A capable and great leader, well said victor

Clad to see you China made it. May our true creator bless and protect you, keep striving to doing good deeds and may all your intentions be pure to helping yourself and the human race.

Thanks. Peace and development of human race are the common goals of all human.

xi Jin ping has strong leadership,humble,down to earth, charismatic, good speech to motivate . 👍

This helps me a lot with my exams. Thank you!

In matters of the trade wars, China got a great deal and that deal was based on the country being very poor. The Chinese can no longer be seen as poor and so the deal with the United States must change. How ever the deal changes, China will still have a good commercial relationship with the United States. They will still make good money.

Excellent report well.documented and.objective . Thanks CNA Thanks.Singapore (Always friendly and smart Country )

After the collapse of the Japanese empire, the communization of China and the division of Korea occurred, and the power balance of Asia was disturbed at once. In particular, Japan had taken a policy of excluding communism since before the war, and although it had beaten the Chinese Communist Party thoroughly, it became a form that allowed China to communize at the same time as the defeat. Right now, the harmful effects are spreading to the world, and it is dyed with dangerous ideas. Was the abandonment of the Japanese army after the war correct? If Japan had not abandoned its army, Korea would have been able to send reinforcements to the Kuomintang against China without division.

You will give a chance to correct this wrong by re-arm your country and engage in the Chinese civil war over Taiwan strait soon. And you will be welcomed to participate by Chinese/Taiwanese people on both sides and I hope you could fight till the end this time.

When you go under for so long without food, you know what it means to be a poor country. But at the same time, you were free from foreigners in the country. The bounce back will be in the sky and it came later and it was so high that the world is now surprised to find a China that has become strong and powerful and can match any nation on earth. Today the rich world look with envy and jealousy as China becomes rich beyond the imagination and is on the road to become a first world country in 20 years. In a way, Singapore has contributed to this rise of China. It became an example of a country that had no resources but had brains together with hard work and dedication to succeed.

Insightful. China is the manufacturer to the world and is ready and willing to preserve its economic gains in the WTO. Thanks YouTube.

It's not a RISE, it's just a COMEBACK

amannisa oigur fake news move along lol

11:51 Deng Xiaoping 23:48 Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rhongji 26:40 World Trade Organization 29:12 Xi Jinping

It is interesting to watch and once again able to reveal what has had happened over the last 2-years since this video report published on / about China. Since, the Covid Pandemic, oneself can see and witness the decline of China, and the increasingly mistrust about China, for the first time in over 2-decades. The question now... Is China on the decline ?

Proud to be a Chinese(from Singapore)

Proud to be Chinese, (A Malaysian)

The first time I see a positive review of China on YouTube, as a Chinese, I'm a bit moved.I discover a secret: there were also some objective Western media

这是新加坡媒体

新加坡的CNA（亚洲新闻台），很多国家都有播放

Great respect to China from Nepal.

China is a role model to the rest of the world they suffered but unlike other countries they learned their lesson and went forward ofcourse several factors helped them along the way such as communism etc but they grew making sure they dont fall down from their position,

Robin Banks hehe 😁 ,

Robin Banks and the plague

Lifted hundred millions of people out of poverty, I think I am one of them

amannisa oigur I don't like CCP and I hate their half-forcing style. But, 1. CCP is the only seemingly normal minded gov compared to the shit govs of other countries and 2. did u lose ur mind to believe in that?

left millions dying of hunger in the name of Great Leap Forward. I am lucky to be alive to this day !

Lar M , Yes, you guys were pretty lucky, this was disaster caused by CCP, then what u could do to prevent those kinds of things?

amannisa oigur long thins no see my friend. Are you tired of spreading out this everywhere? Seriously, who is paying you to do so?

Merinding mendengar bagaimana China bangkit yang dulunya miskin bgt hingga bersaing bersama AS. Indonesia should learn from China! Salute!! Aku padamu China❤ Love from Indonesia

Respect for China from North Africa

This proves the greatness of China as a civilization.... Italy tried to revive their roman empire but failed, the Arabs tried to revive thier islamic civilizations but failed... etc etc

The presenter needs to really understand modern Chinese history a bit more from 1911, the writers or editors Of this series also need more Chinese history lessons.

China has the strongest sense of its identity and indigenous culture, one of the largest geographies it was destined to be a global heavyweight

China used to be the largest economy in the world. It's just regaining that position.

When you experience hunger in the past, you value what you have today, China will be the first economy in the World because of this fact.

Asia should form a "Asian union"; It will only happen when big countries like china japan India south Korea UAE Russia unite themselves before it get too late . ありがとう🎍

Green Sky The biggest obstacle to that (AmeriKKKa) is crumbling and weakening every day, so that might happen in the near future...

It's Wow Documentary ! Respect to Mr. Xi Jin Ping, he shakes the world ! A Great, Charismatic and amazing Leader, Bravo !

In every country politician makes mistakes and accepts responsibilty for the people suffering due to their policies. New leadership must learn the mistake-error and come forward to correct and make it better for the people's properity, peace and further development of the country.

China has achieve so much and they call it working progress, imagine when they are fully developed? it will be something that the world have never seen before.

I used to cringe when I saw that "made in china" label on some of the products I bought, but gradually, with time, chinese wares ķept becoming better. I would not say they are on par with the rest of the world yet, but they are definetely getting there at a pretty determined pace!

Best phone I ever had was a Huawei. Xiaomi is also a great electronics brand. Top notch gear - amazingly cheap prices. 😎
