China is NOT Messing Around This TIme - Here's Why VRIC Media 26.3K subscribers Subscribe 3.4K Share Download 156,132 views Sep 20, 2024 Welcome to the official VRIC channel, This discussion dives into the pivotal role that China's historical lessons, particularly from the Opium Wars, play in shaping its modern financial and technological dominance. As silver flowed into China in the 18th and 19th centuries but rarely left, the nation’s self-sufficiency spurred tensions with Europe, leading to the Opium Wars. The result? A century of humiliation that remains a crucial part of Chinese education and self-perception today. Fast-forward to the present, and China, once weakened by colonial interference, has emerged technologically ahead of the West. However, the conversation touches on whether the West’s recent attempts, such as tariffs, could spark similar consequences in today's global economy. https://coppernicometals.com/ TSX:COPR For more content from VRIC host Jay Martin, please visit The Commodity University at https://thecommodityuniversity.com/ Sign up for Jay’s newsletter at https://jaymartin.substack.com/subscribe Transcript Follow along using the transcript.

What followed was the Infamous Opium War of 1897 in which the Western countries in Europe led by England gave the Opposing Chinese forces a licking in the infamous Opium War in the Battle of Nanking. The Chinese were defeated and had to accede the Island of Hong Kong to UK for 100 years until 1997 when Hong Kong was returned to China.

Britain smuggled opium into China, causing widespread addiction. When China banned opium, Britain responded with military force. The wars ended with China signing unequal treaties, ceding Hong Kong, opening ports to trade, and legalizing opium, leading to military defeat, economic exploitation, and loss of sovereignty. These wars marked the start of China’s "Century of Humiliation." China learned from the humiliation, by focusing on modernization, nationalism, and military strength. The defeats taught China the need to modernize its military and economy, which later led to major reforms under leaders like Deng Xiaoping. China also embraced national unity to prevent further foreign domination and shifted toward diplomatic and economic engagement to regain control over its future. Today, these lessons are reflected in China’s global rise and initiatives like the Belt and Road. 52 Reply @WalkOverHotCoal 1 month ago A group of visitors from 20 nations are in China now. They are not there sightseeing, they are checking out what kind of infrastructures they can copy, or learn from China. They are interested in rails systems, especially the software that control the traffic flows. They are interested in the underground tunnels and stations, as well as the efficiency in the communication system. Obviously it has much to do with Huawei because Huawei 5G is the backbone of it all. An interesting contrast is this...Australia, Japan and India went to the US for the QUAD meetings, about weapons.

But there's something most of you miss about the Opium wars. The opium smuggling into China had a secondary nasty consequence too. Britain ended slavery in 1833-1838. By complete coincidence Chinese indentured labourers called coolies suddenly appeared all over the British Empire. Britain ended slavery not because of altruism or how William Wilberforce found it to be horrible as did many. Slavery was ended by the british because something MORE profitable and MORE exploitative was found to replace it. Slaves? You have to pay for their upkeep, you have to feed them, clothe them and accomodate them. Indentured labourers they have to work for you until the contract is complete BUT they have to pay for their own upkeep. 13 Reply 1 reply @craigrik2699 1 month ago It most certainly be very different this time.

In 1987, India renamed South Tibet the so-called Arunachal Pradesh to obscure its connection to Tibet. Because South Tibet was gobbled up by India under the Chinese Communist watch, this humiliation is not talked about in China because this is inconvenient history for the Chinese Communist Party; hence, almost nobody in China today knows about this recent history. 16 Reply 6 replies @yunliu8448 3 weeks ago Talking about a century of humiliation to a nation with 5000 years of history is like talking about the C- Einstein got in his art class.😂 2 Reply @PhilipWong55 1 month ago The U.S. maintained its embargo on China during the Great Chinese Famine (1959-1961), discouraging other nations from sending food, confident that millions of deaths from starvation would ensure China’s permanent collapse.

In short term, politicians get some votes, but it will ruin the fields you are trying to protect. There will be disastrous consequences as the result. Reply @spiritofgoldfish 1 month ago The US imperial feudal system cannot compete because it is based on extracting a free lunch due to ownership alone. China is deliberately avoiding this system in order to be productive instead. This failure to compete is called Chinese overcapacity by the transnational rentier oligarchy at the top of Wall Street, the deep state, who does central planning for their private benefit. The classical economists beginning with Adam Smith identified the free lunch (economic rents, or unearned income, otherwise defined as the difference between the socially necessary cost, and the price) extracted by feudal lords as the problem preventing a free market that the government should solve. They would add that the government should redirect the free lunch to factors of production like infrastructure, health care, and education, to reduce the cost of living and therefore the cost of production/labor. The neoliberal (Austrian, Libertarian, Chicago School Monetarist) counter-enlightenment led by the super wealthy was to not acknowledge any such problem, as the marketing front for their banks (FIRE, finance, insurance and real estate) whose vocation is rent seeking and who directly employ the modern neo feudal government. “The classical economists sought to reduce and eliminate the “free lunch” and thereby bring prices more closely in line with costs. This would unleash economic productivity by eliminating the parasitism of the rentier class. At the dawn of the twentieth century, the application of classical economics combined with advances in technology led people to believe that a golden age of human progress and prosperity was approaching. But the reactionary rentier class used its rentier fortunes to launch an economic “Counter-Enlightenment.” As Michael Hudson summarizes, To deter public regulation or higher taxation of such rent seeking, recipients of free lunches have embraced Milton Friedman’s claim that There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. [. . .] The actual antidote to free lunches is to make governments strong enough to tax economic rent and keep potential rent-extracting opportunities and natural monopolies in the public domain.26 The point here, articulated by Orwell, is that technological progress in production and in economic planning should have ushered in a golden age of civilization. Instead, activist elites recognized the implications of this dynamic and responded by using their wealth and power to maintain the inequality and material insecurity that are preconditions for their continued dominance over society.” Good, Aaron. American Exception: Empire and the Deep State (p. 180). What exactly is a free lunch or what are economic rents? "Rentiers derive income from ownership, possession or control of assets that are scarce or artificially made scarce. Most familiar is rental income from land, property, mineral exploitation or financial investments, but other sources have grown too. They include the income lenders gain from debt interest; income from ownership of ‘intellectual property’ (such as patents, copyright, brands and trademarks); capital gains on investments; ‘above normal’ company profits (when a firm has a dominant market position that allows it to charge high prices or dictate terms); income from government subsidies; and income of financial and other intermediaries derived from third-party transactions." Standing, Guy. The Corruption of Capitalism: Why rentiers thrive and work does not pay (p. 94). There is no daylight between private virtual real estate feudal lords owning Amazon, Google, and Facebook, for example, and government law enforcement/intelligence, while they extract their piece of the action (economic rent). The crown rentier jewel is the banking system, the FIRE sector, or finance, insurance and real estate. The big banks reward the people they put into the very top of government for loyal service to the company when they go back to the company in the revolving door. The central planners aren't in the government. The transnational rentier oligarchy at the top of wall street, the deep state, does central planning for their private benefit, and they are the employers of politicians. The job of the politician is to deliver voters to the oligarchy by campaigning on whatever gets them elected with oligarchy funding, then do whatever the oligarchy wants, and they are taken care of whether they are reelected or not. “Today, the statistics are good. They reveal that 50 percent of the world’s wealth is in the hands of US-based corporations, even though the national account, GDP, is not anywhere near that.” Chomsky, Noam; Waterstone, Marv. Consequences of Capitalism: Manufacturing Discontent and Resistance (p. 138) If the US had majority rule, i.e., a democratic form of government, we would have a decent minimum wage, Medicare for all, free education, parental and sick leave, legal marijuana, workers on corporate boards, lower credit card interest, not allowing politicians to own stock or immediately graduate to becoming lobbyists, public funding of drug research for public drug patents, and some kind of green new deal, just at first glance at the polls. We have institutionalized opposition at best, not representation at all. "Reagan’s election marked the ascension of deep political forces to a position of sovereignty. Practically speaking, what emerged was an exceptionist tripartite state comprised of (1) a feckless public state, (2) a sprawling security state, and (3) the anti-democratic deep state to which they are subordinated. This consolidation and institutionalization of top-down power was such that US governance could thereafter be described as a deep state system." Good, Aaron. American Exception: Empire and the Deep State (p. 260). Rentier capitalism, or financialization, has come to dominate both industrial capitalism and government, sucking the wealth from both. I'm talking about public use of unearned income to help production and profits earned by producing, as well as to actually reward work, not to crush companies. An alternative would be to have democratically elected public planners instead of the current neo-feudal private deep state planning system. Neoliberal ideology is that there is no place for government in the economy, but reality is that the economy does not stay out of government, which is why democracy is not actually possible and where a vanguard political party comes into the picture. Here are some things to consider. "Today, commercial banks have the privilege of creating money as credit. They oppose governments creating their own money, because that would make economies less dependent on bankers and bondholders. Opposing Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), banks and bondholders demand that governments finance their budget deficits by borrowing at interest instead of simply creating their own money by fiat." Michael Hudson, The Destiny of Civilization (Kindle locations 4561 to 4564) In MMT, taxes don't pay for anything. Taxes simply extinguish money to keep inflation in check. Some insist that "taxation is theft", but I would argue that rentier income, which by definition derives from ownership alone, a not at all productive extraction from the real economy of producing and consuming goods and services, is theft, and this is what should be taxed. It is important to note that in MMT it is the real economy that matters, not the paper economy. Should money be created for corporate takeovers or education? Financial speculation or infrastructure? For the wealthy to collect interest or health care? All of these things reduce the cost of living, and therefore the cost of labor and production, resulting in a more efficient economy. Once you accept the premise that everyone should be in the risk pool for health insurance, it becomes clear it's a natural monopoly that belongs in the public, not private, domain. Educated people benefit society as well as themselves, so are a factor of production/wellbeing to be enhanced by public subsidy instead of the cost borne by employers. Infrastructure is another factor of production that increases productivity and profitability if not being used to extract private natural monopoly economic rents (but the empire buys infrastructure to collect rents around the world). 3 Reply 3 replies @Frisbieinstein 4 weeks ago Teddy Roosevelt said China was an example of the folly of a wealthy nation that fails to defend itself. 1 Reply @jdwilder63 1 month ago The threat of tariffs is a negotiation tool silly rabbits. 7 Reply 5 replies @walterchin8832 1 month ago China and US should work together to make the world safe, peaceful and prosperous. 1 Reply @ConfucianScholar 1 month ago These guys actually don't know what they're talking about about. 6 Reply @shinkhen08 1 month ago Every Chinese remembered the century of humiliation. 1 Reply @v.searcher 1 month ago I think the tendency and fallacy in the West is to give too much credit to China.

Reply @benjamincai1272 1 month ago (edited) The recent Chinese success story is not hard to understand, just like the American success story, which is not complicated to comprehend post-American Civil War. The Chinese Communist Party came out of WWII, and the Chinese Civil War was victorious because it understood the power of the people. Just like Lincoln understood, for America to thrive, it must unite its people. The Chinese still believe that is the principle to global success while America is forgetting where it came from - A country by the people for the people; instead, now America is owned by a few billionaires and the top 5%. China understands that 80% of the world's population is still living in poverty, at least according to the American standard. The Chinese secret is to better the lives of these 80% of the population to win over the world, just as the communists did in WWII. 1 Reply 1 reply @jgarbo3541 1 month ago The Chinese remember.

Of all technical and scientific disciplines out there, he draws an across-the-board conclusion that China is ahead of the West simply based on electrical vehicles. China may lead in a few applications, but it is FAR from being a leader in most areas. For example, why is China so resentful about the U.S. restricting Nvidia AI chip export to China if it is indeed "WAY AHEAD OF US" as the guest thinks? Further, there is a big difference between what China wants to do vs what it is capable of. The fact that China's economy is in crisis bodes ill for its future development.

Chairman Mao's history of "Land Reform Movement" (1949-1953), Korean War (1950-1953), The Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), these real truths/happenings & real events are not taught in Chinese school inside the PRChina.
