(Yes, right now it's just me making everything)
Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

Not much innovation. But alot of investment growth. China really did make an insane jump forwards
@@sblbb929 bro didn't even watch the video before replying 😂😂
china literally has the most patent requests of any country@@sblbb929
I always kinda knew we were fed propaganda concerning China, but my eyes really opened when i saw a video about how they combat desertification, a huge problem we are not dealing with in the Western world.
Like many projects in China, at first, the local people living there didn't really like it. It was hard work. But by the end, when they saw the result, they could farm the land again, and it secured their future.
As much as I want to give China all the credit, Hakim’s sources for pretty much all his information was either unverified or from the Chinese government itself. I think it was because he was spending the whole video refuting Ben’s points rather than making a holistic analysis.
@@ryanrobison8973 neither are ben's "sources" lmao
It's a bit problematic in the long run though. It might turn northern China even more dry and water starved than it is already since all the new topsoil in the west might soak up ground water. It overall has similair longterm problems as the 1934 Great Plains Shelterbelt in the US.
@@ryanrobison8973 "the sources from chinese government itself can't be real the chinese government lies all the time! we should source from the western imperialist governments who totally don't have an agenda to spread negative news on china and has been proven to use false data a lot! i am very smart!“

Can’t say I’m very educated about China but right wingers constantly chirping negatively about it really makes it feel like propaganda
The "left" does even more.
I don't mean the real left, just those self claimed.
Yes! Especially with the propaganda that is spread about other countries in America (especially with Cuba and basically anything south of the border). I feel like I’m gonna find out I’m being lied to and it was something different.
Ding ding ding! It's like going to a KKK rally to learn about black history. Or going to a tobacco company's report on the health effects of smoking. Actually even dumber. Not to be a shill, altho I suppose I am, but I promise if YOU went to China you'd be very impressed in a positive way. Unless, of course, you're racist. Too often the case my friend.
Free Hong Kong and Taiwan is a real country
@@teeqx7361 lol, u realize the US doesnt believe that right? No embassies in Taiwan, US respects one-China policy dips**t
23:00. The concept of building a city, with adequate infrastructure, including transit, recreation, waste management, healthcare facilities, educational services including childcare, retail, maintenance, etc., etc., as opposed to throwing up excessively large, and ruinously expensive, single family suburbs with NO human-scale accessible infrastructure. Not an idea that fits with the typical US smooth-brained pattern of 'the free market', when it comes to urban planning.
It's not really city planning though in most cases.
It's local governments evicting rural folks to redevelop the land into urban land, in order to lease it to construction firms because they need quick cash (bc most taxes go to the central gov). These firms then build new housing projects to sell them to home buyers before they're even finished in order to fund the start of even more projects to get even more sales upfront. Why? Because the housing prices keep rising for decades now so chinese people use it as an investment. Alot of these apartments are empty because they're second or third homes, just someone investing their money in order to sell it for a higher price in some years.
@@sblbb929 China has arround 3/4% of empty houses. It looks like a lot because they are all clumped up toguether. Look up empty housing in your own country, you might be surprised.

Ture

The Chinese government is good at planning things like subway stations and newaread of development for a city, but private Chinese business suck at developing stuff independently, especially because they over charge for the real estate after things are built. There are whole malls that are empty despite being in the middle of a vibrant residental areas, because they charge too much for any prospective shop owners to be able to accept. And similarly many rich people build expensive residential neighborhoods in their home towns, which are extremely large, yet are too expensive for the vast majority of their home towns, leading to the buildings being mostly empty, despite million of people living all around them. Business people are kind of stupid everywhere.
Doesn't China have the highest number of patents and funding on quantum computing, i would say that is an example of innovation.
That sounds cool af.
Only if you count patents that were literally hacked out of and stolen from other nations existing patents, that the local business has no capacity to actually build because no one understands how the mechanisms work. See China's sub 8 nm computer chip manufacturing for a beautiful example. They have *literally every technology for 3 nm chips patented,* but are struggling to use a hyper inefficient old 10 nm chip tech that they've hacked together to slowly and expensively make 4 nm chips, something the rest of the world has abandoned. They literally have a 2% pass rate (it's normally 70-90%).
Why are they using literally not a single factory using the new tech, the tech Taiwan and even America now are already using, if they have all the patents too? Because no one in the nation actually knows how to make it.
To be fair no one in Taiwan knows how to make them either: they import all of their machines from the Dutch, and as of this year America.
But the point stands. Point to a single technology that China is competitive in actually implementing. Their 5th generation fighters both have the RCS of a 1980's US prototype, and is actually still somehow worse than the 1990's F-117 they recovered and copied the tech from (seriously, imagine reverse engineering a tech for literally 20 years and still failing to match it in practice), their computer production is about on par with 2008 America, which was not at all known for computer chips back then, their water use efficiency, something they literally brag about 'being world leaders in,' is worse than the worst year in US history *in the xxxxing 20's,* and their democracy is nominally decided by 58 people, who strangely keep voting for the guy who gave them all jobs every election.
Like.... how are there China fanboys? Historically, sure, they lead the world in all kinds of different eras, but today they are not doing well. If you look at their real GDP growth they haven't even been keeping up with global inflation since the early 2000's, which explains why despite the '8% gdp growth' their average standard of living has been dropping since then.
As far as quantum computing specifically? Where is the highest memory quantum computer in the world? Which US city is it? What about the second? Oh, another US city? Ok, well what about the other top 10? Oh, still all US? Ok, but what about the next 10, the lower half of the top 20? Oh, still literally all US plus one German city? Umm.... Where is China? Oh... *They literally don't have a single working prototype running right now, at all, across their hundreds of universities?* Umm.... Well.... That's peculiar. Someone should really tell them that they *have more patents than anyone else.*

Hakim on the stream? No way
What's the original video from?
It didn't look like a hellhole when I was there! It was super nice!
You didn't go that far then. I have family in China and sure if you're in the city centre of a city that has as many people as some US states, it's nice. Imagine concentrating the entire tax base of California into one downtown. But sometimes just walking off a main road is enough to shatter the illusion. Love the food, but to me it's still strange when we walk past an apple store into a side alley and there is a unsanitary looking restaurant and like random people crouching on buckets and eating infront of a wet beton wall. Never getting used to it.
And don't get me started on my grandma's apartment building. She is a migrant worker so she has no access to local social services and so the family rents her an apartment in the outer ring. Inside of the building looks like an abandoned construction side. Enter her red metal door and it's cozy, always food ready for me, cute wallpapers. But stairs leading up to it is 90s post-soviet russia aesthetics.
doesn't that also apply to the US? in los angeles you have shithole places full of homeless people and next to it is beverly hills... you seem to just be describing problems the west has and say its uniquely chinese @@sblbb929
@@sblbb929Well, China is big with lots of people, can't do everything all at once, especially at such rapid and widespread growth. In fact, it's no different than the west. In the USA or western Europe there probably too many places looking like they're from another time to count. China has only been experiencing modernity (as in post WW2 sense) since the 1980s. Go back to the west at that time, you can find 1940s / 1950s looking towns or districts .
I actually have a conservative coworker who admitted that chinese progression and growth has been undeniably impressive, it was kinda surprising
bro my local gov just got another lane approved for one of the highways here lol
In China? Or in the US? Both plausible to be honest
whats the chrome extension he uses to block journal cites from doing that annoying subscribe popup paywall shit
ahhhhh nothing perfecting my night other than looking ben shabibo talking nonsense
I’m an American who's lived in China for over ten years now, including during the dreaded Covid times, and it’s been nothing but a wonderful, comfortable, fascinating, and extremely profitable experience the whole time. I’ll never defend the Chinese government or their policies, but the Chinese people are incredibly inviting, friendly, and curious about me and the US and what other Americans think about China, but it’s hard to shout over idiots like Shabibo when these clips get posted on Chinese social media and they think all Americans are foaming at the mouth for war.
why not? i see no issue with offering critical support after the wide success with their rural development efforts as well as their tackling of urban pollution. obviously the government has issues but there are definite grounds to defend many of its policies upon
Nobody really hates the Chinese people except cringe supremacists. They hate the CCP.
Only problem they hate black people and love Mao
white
@@phisczThe policies I’m referring to are obviously the more nefarious things they've done, like the crackdowns on protests in Hong Kong, the debt schemes they've use to coerce developing economies into giving them strategically vital ports, and of course the forced cultural homogenization of Xinjiang (I still think that genocide is too strong a word to represent what’s actually happening there, but I know that people have strong views on this and I can go into more detail on what I mean if anyone would like me to). That said, you’re right, there are many, many Chinese policies that I agree with wholeheartedly, far more than I don’t, I just can’t say that online without caveats or people are sure to jump down my throat, and with good reason.
It doesn't matter what you are saying, as soon as you cite The Epoch Times, I'm out
Funny with that metro station. I have been to such a station in Shenzhen. Last train of the evening at that, and I got out in what was a field with no roads. Surreal experience. Now that field is gone, and it's a regular street.
Finally a Hakim reaction
The only reason to care if someone steals your IP if you are an innovator is because you are not innovating fast enough.. it’s like being a trend setter.. the second you stop and get mad someone else is stealing your trend you stop being the trend setter.. you are supposed to already be moving on setting the next trend. If your not you can’t claim to be an innovator
Has Ben ever been correct about anything?

Dude! the Hakim video is 22 minutes wtf 1hr?!? 🤣
Dude said "i probably mispronounced that" and then went straight into saying Chongqing like the q is a k ☠️☠️☠️
Urban city planning and development are designed and planned ahead for a span of 30 years. Which are known as master plans. Everyone can checked the developments for the next 30 years through the master plan online. It’s a common thing…😅😅😅
next time i hear some dude complaining about some billionaire or megacorp rights i’m gonna say “is that your daaaad?”
I love the edit of Hasan evolved into Hot Hasan, but he always was hot Hasan. Also I hate this new look on Ben 😂
luv me some Hakim
I don’t think Ben knows this but the freaking iPhone is made in China they also have high speed rail and America does not…. Sounds more innovative than America to me….
Keep in mind, he supported the "democracy" protests in Hong Kong, who worshipped Trump on the alter, waved US flags, and hurled racist slurs at black athletes like LeBron James. Engaging antics like that proved they were no better than the very "CCP" they claim to hate.
1:12 Hot Hasan is my favorite pokemon
When a developing countries welcomes foreign investors the trade off have always sharing their skills and knowledges, in exchange for low priced manufacturing..
They cant correct their bias, because there are too much of those lies and biases.
China be failing powerfully in many areas.
Also in chip manufacturing. Of course there's some innovation, but if your innovation is based mostly ever based on copies of copies, true innovation is very limited.

Yeah the moment you got ridiculed by a brits your credibility is over I'm sorry ben
I mean the main problem with China is Emigration. Sure, they've got a lot of rural Chinese moving to the cities, but not a lot of emigration from other countries. That could change overnight, but you can't change culture that fast. Will Chinese people accept a large foreign population or not? I guess we will see. The United States was s successful because of its diverse culture and European allies. China's strongest ally is the United States which threatens its borders for fun I guess and their population is over 90% homogenous. Not the best formula for long term growth, but maybe that will change as fast as their economy did.
Who would emigrate to a one party state. Also I think we already have the answer to if China would accept different cultures in that Muslims are discriminated against there.
@@teeqx7361there are whole states in China with significant Muslim populations (aside from xinjiang).

To me 40:32 sums it up
I saw a TikTok where a Taiwanese girl said her dad speaks Taiwanese. And I’m like, you mean Mandarin lmao
Unless she meant Hokkien which would make sense, if he has a long line of ancestors in Taiwan otherwise she got it confused.
Most taiwanese speak both Mandarin and Taiwanese hokkien, and a sizable amount speak taiwanese hakka. It's not that weird.
It's just a quicker way of saying traditional Mandarin because in taiwan, they use traditional style writing, and that is very different from simplified writing. It has no difference when talking, but it's just an easy way to differentiate.
Taiwanese Hokkien is an actual language oftentimes referred to as Taiwanese. My parents also speak it 🙂Also it's not related to the traditional writing of Chinese characters, that's something else
@@DavidTseng314 wait what? Written Hokkien is basically like 95% traditional Chinese characters no?

54:35 again, about one political party trope, example with Russia: technically we have several political parties, but in reality there is only one; all serious competition in in jail like Navalny and many other political opponents.
Navalny. Serious competition. Ya joking? Changing old neolib for a fresh one. Such a competition, wow
@@WarpPotato that's besides the point
Ps. And btw justifying him being in jail just because his political views suck for you, is exactly what Putin is doing lol. Don't like the guy = okay for him to be in jail
navalny is a fascist who compared muslims to cockroaches, he should rot in jail
as someone who has lived in a city in China for 8 years, I'm afraid I have to disagree with some parts about these buildings but I'll listen to Hasan here. I can look out the window now and see those useless buildings. The west's criticism of China is not fair, but I'm seeing it live, they do overbuild
They have a huge issue with youth unemployment (22-25%) and currently a economic crisis. Some people will downplay it, some people exagerate it. Truth is that it is a huge issue and they are still working on fixing it.
However, you know that China has a 90% homeownership rate and has rents that are pretty hekin cheap (ofc there are expensive ones too).
Going around China (in my experience) and seeing homeless people sleeping on the street is really really rare. It is funny to see western media cut out footage of people sleeping outside after their building that got demolished by an earthquake and claim China has a huge homeless issue.
They also use Taiwans taipei homelessness (google it) to shit on china for the homeless issue there.
We shouldn't use anecdotals though to prove our points, since that only benefits people that think like us instead of the objective truth and data.
Well looking out our window here in America there are tents full of suffering poor people because we don’t build shit and the capital class and property owners want to drive up the value of housing. I’d take your problem over ours any day
@@Marg_Bar_Amrikkka coz the housing is expensive and no one lives in them. people still stay in one-room low-end housing. There is a huge difference between engaging in these building programs and actually letting people live in them for affordable prices. The positive comes with infrastructure coz the infrastructure here is so good and benefits everyone
@@iammanny2115I feel ya bud. Siberian redbrainer here. We also have tendency to build a lot of housing, but infrastructure is not that good. Nor the housing.
It's just a way of investing money for those big holders. Basically digging it into the ground.
You also had some of those housing demolished not that long ago to prevent stocks from falling, correct?
Over building houses does what? May I ask? Is it a good thing or negative for the average people?
Hakim is the shiznit;)
I like most of this video but comparing the Kuomintang to the Confederacy is an insane misrepresentation of the events of the Chinese civil war. The KMT did not organize an insurrection against a legitimate sovereign CCP government. We're just completely glossing over a 40-year period of continuous political conflict--the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen, Yuan Shikai, the Warlord Era, and the 14-year war with Japan. Not to mention that Taiwan has been politically separated from the mainland for all but 4 years since 1895.
Why was it separated in 1895, oh right because of colonialism, Taiwan separatism is the last shameful legacy of colonialism in China cause Taiwan is China.

Because of good old racist.
The idea of "they are all brain washed unlike me" basically came from viewing entire diverse group of people as inferior.
-- Unlike "civilized people like us"
Actually, most people don't.

Hasan, this guy is a tank. You're literally responding to a video made by a T-34.
My man I would sooner trust a Bob Semple high on Marry Jane than an average Ben Sharpeboi
Love how you guys shamelessly copy paste CCP info and stats as if they were facts
But the Führer Xi said they are true, you must always listen to the Führer.
+ 1M SCP's for you Sir!
ah yes, Harvard, famously a CPC institution
@itsukizy CPC XD
But no, Harvard has been doing independent research in the PRC for ages, without any interference or misinformation from the CCP
@@Zer-o-ne its literally CPC, not CCP. look it up. also my point is hasan and hakim literally cite harvard and you’re claiming they’re copying “CCP info and stats” (whatever that even means… lol.)
Great time to release this video, hasan… right when China faces significant economic dilemmas
Here's the thing: because China is run by a DOTP instead of the capitalist class, they are perfectly capable of surviving the TRPF without recession. It happened with the USSR during the great depression for instance.
I see both sides of the arguments because i have watched the china show, where we have 2 people from different countries who lived in china for many years, can't remember was it over 2 decades, but basically, they had hopefully and positive view point of china but also negative.
+China has somewhat good public transportation infurstraction
+good learning structer
+health care system
+biggest country when talking manufacturing
The negatives
-corrupted to the core
-tofu buildings
-sometimes absolutely terrible food safety regulations or monitoring.
-dissapearing instances
-homelessness
-landscaping is soo bad that they are painting grass and rocks to pass inspectors.
Chinies culture is also very very flawed, guter oil, fake foods, fake drinks, fake baby powder, tofu buildings like i mentioned earlier, half done trains, bridges and the list honestly can just go on.
Even thoe china is rich, the people aren't, there is even child labor happening in there.
So in chinies culture if you can save money from everything to ANYTHING that isn't nailed down like free small packages of salt or ribbons for your packages, everything will be just scapped.
China is kinda the perfect imperfect country, whatever china does well it succeeds with flying colors and everything it sucks at, it can bring a whole apartment building down because they didn't bother to line water pipes to turn off a home in fire.
Nope you don't really see both sides, at this point everyone knows that people trying to play as centrists are just trying to trick you into right wing talking points, just another Tim Tool
You're the type of guy to believe that NK's aren't allowed to wear jeans and will be executed if they listen to k pop.
First off, everything bad you attributed to China can also be attributed to the US. These problems originated in the toxic social imperialism of Western ideology in the first place.
Next, anything you say is hard to believe when the "rock painting" has been easily debunked to be hydroseeding, there lacks any materialistic analysis to say otherwise
You watched that one Asian reporter making shit up about China, not some show of people living in China. Most of what you said (like the painted grass lul) has been debunked and u can find it online.
Niiiiice….🫠
i have many friends from taiwan whos parents or they themselves lived there and I 100% agree taiwan should be seen as its own country and culture.
( along with palistine, people from both areas see themselves as an independent country and should be allowed to be so )
Yesss fellow Taiwan and Palestine enjoyer let’s goooo
Lol KMT simp
Sorry, but as someone who sat through 6 semester of macroeconomics because it was mandatory for my degree: Hakim is really off here. Sentiments like "China is indebted to itself so it's fine" are crazy. It's "Fine" to investors because foreign debtors are still getting paid and the worst case scenario (a 2008 Crisis in China) would not ripple across the world because noone else has exposure. It's "Fine" for some guy on wall street. Not for China. Additonally the US is way better equipped to deal with it's debt than China, so comparing nominal totals here is surface level logic. "Ghost towns" are the symptom of a real problem, but not for the reason shapiro mentions. There is a reason why China's central government released it's three red line policy recently.
There is alot more wrong with the video but I hate thate economics so I don't want to open that can of worms. Shapiro isn't right either but it's less dangerous to hallucinate fake fires than to point at a real fire and say it's fine.
False propaganda
Hakim literally thinks north korea is cool. Hes a full on tankie
Oh no 😮
Unfortunately so many people are so focused on “US bad” that they regularly simp for genocidal regimes just because they also don’t like the US.
I hope Hakim drives a tank to your house.
And that's bad ?
a so-called socialist simping for an absolute monarchy yes that's bad @@jacksmith-mu3ee
"China is going to collapse any second now" is the same amount of coping as "Capitalism is gonna fall apart any moment"
Who thinks capitalism is going to fall apart? I thought most leftists think that capitalism will just continue to get worse for more and more people. I’ve never heard people claim that is is going to collapse.. if anything they think it is going to need to be overthrown violently or will be changed internally because people will vote to slowly implement socialism. Am I wrong? Do other countries that are socialist/communist think that capitalism will just collapse? I thought they believed it would just continue but loose in the end to its own faults and become obsolete
good thing literally no serious person believes the second thing then
I am pretty sure that there are still people around hoping the system will fix itself without any action@@itsukizy
@@failimaily1576Those people just read The Communist Manifesto and called it a day then. Capitalism has evolved to withstand quite a bit, with social democracy being used to quell descent in many countries and fascism used when things completely collapse and capitalism can't fend off socialism like in Germany in the 1930s. They're probably well meaning, but really need to learn more.
@@ForgotMyPasswd000 oh I fully agree
If it was a uniform decline it might be good but since it's the result of a lack of births over a long time it's actually extremely bad because that means young, working age adults are becoming less and less. Add to that, the last time China had a huge amount of births was between 1950-70, literally doubling the population from half a billion to a billion in record time. Those people right now are obviously all old....and need even more support from more young people.
China's not a developed country so it doesn't have an established social benefit system to support these people either, so they really need young people and based on this decrease happening already, the situation is worse than we thought even.
China will be fine, most of the old chinese are simplying going to other countries to retire where they will be taken care of
A lot of them come to the US in fact to retire, they retire in the US and can collect SSI, Medicaid, food stamps, they launder the food stamps for cash, many abuse medicaid to get free drugs to sell all while collecting a fat pension from China that they hide from the US government
Or they try to get European citizenship, do the minimum number of fake employment hours to collect a pension
If they can't they can always go to thailand, phillipines to retire
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The china population collapse thing is just massive peter zeihan cope
Allow me to introduce you to a shocking concept known as immigration
None of us “developed” nations have functional welfare systems that are prepared for the growing imbalance between working people and retirees
China defiantly does have a social benefit system, but yea population being top heavy is a problem
@@eniderso let's not simp for authoritarian gov
