We were inventing and innovating various things when the europeans were scratching eachothers backs inside caves. There were no such thing as Americans, canadians, Australians back then.
China was a united country, There was no such thing as India back then,it's was many little kingdoms, Sikhs, Tamils, etc.
China was the wealthiest country for centuries before the 1600s.
We were the largest economy for 18 of the past 20 centuries.
No one held a candle to china back then.
The collapse of the Ming dynasty changed all that and we went backwards, then the industrial revolution in the west put china further behind.
In 1949 we took back our country, in 1978 we started economic reforms and we have not looked back since.
We were one of, if not THE most advanced civilization for centuries upon centuries.
We will reclaim our former glory no matter how long it takes.
If others don't like it, keep crying about it.
Nothing or nobody will stop the rise of china.
Of course, the US, Australia, and Canada and their values were only conceptual values of the greek city states at that time. You should know better from the videos that I posted that by the time of China's unification greeks were far from barbarians, but creating whole fields of science while the Chinese were embroiled in their wars,imperialism, and servility to the emperor, vassal states, etc.
I'll let you in on a little secret... do you know whats different between the last 18 centuries and today? Here, i'll tell you... the US didn't exist.
The US exists now, It is every bit as big as China, more innovative, the third most populated country in the world, and is not across the world on a long arduous trek, but right across the pond known as the Pacific. In fact, we have territory right in Asia as well. You can't not deal with us, we are too big for that. You can't fight us, we would blow you and your country out of the water literally and leave your country in shambles.
We ursurped China's thousand year reign when our country was less than a hundred years old. We became global hegemon a little more than half a century after.
Your country will have to live with us and deal with us for the rest of your days (certainly for as long as you live). While China only had to deal with small surrounding tributary before Russia and the West came along and put China in its place, these days the US is there to keep a watchful eye on China.
Your country's days of being hegemon in Asia are over, you look fondly back at them but fail to see that with the introduction of a genuine potential existential threat to China and its thousands of years of history, China's potential growth has been permanently stunted
The countries around China now have a choice, a genuine way to fight China's sway, you can't put this genie back in the lamp.
