Thank you once again for sharing.

His channel has excellent insights and well put together. Short, easily digestable, well cited and nicely presented along with often beautiful drone photography of China at the end. Thank you yogthos for introducing this channel.

He is a business analyst who sees through the western media smokescreen, the destructiveness of the western military indsutrial complex, the gains China has made, and the sophistication of how China develops out of poverty and builds out diplomacy. He clearly either lives in China or visits often and has first hand experience.

However, he is an excellent example of how deep Western delusion runs.

What is the reason he believes China is winning? Christianity. He claims this from a positive perspective. The language he uses to explain international trade diplomacy alludes to imperialism from a historical context (remember he does not appear to have marxist understanding of capital) in the link to the video attached, with a Chinese Christian twist of the White Man's Burden as he sees it. He also alludes to why other communist countries have failed in his eyes; their godlessness. It is almost as if it is from another channel. It is amazing that China's strategy can win loyalty even from these kinds of people. The video in question:

It is a common theme from liberal analysts who see China in a positive light; the reason for success is anything but marxism-leninsm.

The efficiency of implementation of socialism in China is a remarkable achievement in human history; given limited resources and the pitfalls of attempting to propagate revolutionary agitprop abroad they have decided to instead focus on prioritising mutually beneficial material gains. It is such a powerful force in itself that no resources needed to be wasted in further propaganda; peoples with all sorts of bourgoisie narratives will still promote you if they perceive a benefit for themselves (case in point: the youtuber described)!

Edit/ added last paragraph

Yeah, I find his analysis tends to be sound and easily digestible. Completely agree that it's hilarious how he attributes China's success to Christianity as opposed to material development driven by the political system. Kind of illustrates how people come up with crazy ideas when they don't use material analysis of things.

I am not a 100% sure but at the end of his videos when he shows footage of Chinese landmarks I think there is an audio of prayers in the background. So he is deep into it.

Yeah, I think somebody linked to his weird take where he claims China's development is somehow a result of embracing Christianity. So, he's definitely deep into the whole religious thing. That said though, the analysis he has is generally sound and well sourced.

Aside from us (dozens!), some mandarins of the haute bourgeoisie must have noticed.

Edit to add:

We have 750 overseas bases; China has only one.

I tell libs this so often: https://lemmy.ml/search?creatorId=1468481&q=djibouti

The US has over 750 overseas military bases around the world, and is building more to further encircle China. Meanwhile China has one anti-piracy base in Djibouti.

As always this highlights the contrast between Chinese and western development.
