Good to see people talking about China's weaknesses instead of seeing them as a unstoppable force
Except it's not much of a weakness. Especially now with Russia providing them discounted oil and gas. They were already building up the infrastructure so in a couple years this will no longer be a "weakness".
Edit: the original comment was made less than 10 minutes after the release of the video and @Phillip wouldn't of had a clue the video included war scenarios so I'm responding to their comment as such.
Edit:Edit: Disregard everything above. I made the comment quickly and without fully thinking it though. My apologies to everyone. Sorry @Phillip
have you watched fox videos?
Literally nobody considers them as "unstoppable force"
Military ? "They have no experience , copy paste army"
Economics? "Ponzi scheme"
Innovation? "They only copy"
Population? "Huge demographic crisis on the way"
@@donnmckee4973 hundreds of miles of pipeline? In the event of war, sounds extremely vulnerable to outright attack or sabotage
U see chinese products quality and you know their overall quality. They are far behind us.
If this form and presentation was available during my high school days, learning new things would have been easier.
Learning regime propaganda? What "Holocaust" increases the population of said target? Neocons instigated 1 war, now they want a second, if you want to learn something, understand Project Mocking Bird is more effective in the RUclips era than it ever was in the past.
The vid is bogus. An extra few days around Oz or NZ should not matter

I like his videos. But reading books is absolute more efficient. The information is so dense.
imagine the teacher just reading the book, while we all just want to go home and read it(potentially) there!
Thank you for tying all those aspects together
I appreciate your video and insights. I was hooked and watched one video and another. Thank you!
I was active in the US Navy between 2011-2017, and did 2 deployments in amphibious fleets acting within the 5th fleet (Middle East) and 7th fleet (Pacific) in 2013 and 2016. We had to act as "presence of force" in the South China Sea during both deployments as we crossed through 7th fleet, and moored in multiple ports of the surrounding states. China always has multiple subs and spy planes following our fleets to act as bravado, but it's crazy how easily we could blockade China from our positions all throughout Southeast Asia, while the US literally sits on the complete other side of the world.
That's why I dont blame them for taking up positions in the SCS, they know that Americans wants to keep them down. This is also why they have hypersonics ready to go in the SCS incase America gets uppity.
A conventional war between the US and China would be the greatest loss of human life in the history of mankind and 95% of that would be Chinese.
China would definitely lose a war with the US!
@@sleepyjoe4529 Except that pendulum swings both ways. China's also attempting to "keep down" It's surrounding neighbors through influence of force and expansion. While the matter of arguing who's in the right is subjective, it seems that the US, it allies, and China's neighboring states are objectively viewed as more favorable in virtue in their defense against Chinese expansion than China's demands for control of the South China Sea.
In part its true, China is vulnerable if they suffer a blockade, but the chinese goverment control a big part of mundial economy, and the key fact, the public debt. Probably the blockade of China is not a feasable option for the United States.
My dude, this was simply amazing. Honestly. What unbelievable effort. The fact that this is free to watch is a blessing. The details, the narration, the illustrations, the sheer documentary-level quality of your content. That was astonishing. Congratulations and please, oh please, keep them coming.
The video was ok, a bit over dramatic to be honest. But man, the way the guy speaks is unbearable. Why does he feel like he needs to narrate the video in a way that would make sense if retarded people or kids were watching.
I mean they get paid, if they weren’t getting ad revenue you wouldn’t see this on RUclips.
Hell of a way to try get 👍. Anyone need tips on how to brown nose, ask Bruno.
@@bigbrainb-ryan How much are you being paid by the Chinese to denigrate this effort? Or are you simply jealous of the view count this video has gotten (almost 2 million in a couple of days)?
@@bigbrainb-ryan 😂
Well, my head hurts a bit from all this information, but damn this was an illuminating video on the intricacies of Chinese energy strategies.
In time, you not only get used to that headache but you also crave more head splitting reality. Learn as much as you can, and expand your understanding of what is actually going on in the world. It’s the greatest pastime.
@@EllissDee4you4me Indeed it is, I'm autistic and I have ADHD so learning about reality is not an option but a prerequisite for my well-being. The headaches I get from not understanding are far worse than the headaches from learning complex phenomenon :)
Expanding the military until the country get bankrupt. Doomsday is coming
Not really a 'strategy' to say "ALL DIS BELONG ME NOW"
My head hurts from the unprecedented usage of superlatives in all his videos 😆
Always impressed with the quality of the visual aids, this is the most amazing channel on RUclips.

As a Malaysian, it is common to know that the Strait of Malacca has been one of the most strategic route since the Malacca Sultanate, but knowing China heavily rely on this route to import LNG really blows my mind, I just found out this today
It always been. Portuguese control it for a long time. Demak Empire (Java) under Adipati Unus try to take it twice but sadly they got defeated by the Portugese.
I don't see why China and Japan can't get their oil from Indonesia. Japan invaded Indonesia in 1942, for that very reason.
@@danielcobbins9050 the bigger question is, why they dont get it from Russia? They are allies right but still wanna import from Middle East
@@wafiqal4818 partly because Malaysia/Singapore are also part of the supply chain - crude oil from Middle East, refine in SE Asia then export to China/Japan. of course, many other factors are at play here.
they don't rely and definitely don't heavily rely on it you bozo, it's american propaganda, it's important yes, but they definitely don't rely on it
Great video!
Side note, when you were talking about Nebula at the end one of my professors from Colorado Mesa University (at the time he was there at least) is in your clip - how crazy! I need to look him up now. 😆
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography/map job enabling viewers to better understand what /whom the orator is describing.
This production deserves to be longer . Everything was super detailed, educative and informative Thanks for this
Always so nice I end up watching it twice.
good, now the CCP will die faster than it already is
Longer? It's almost 40 minutes.
Why, look at what is going on, these channels are just banging the drums of war the regime is instigating.
I disagree. 40 minutes is perfect.
your videos become more like a documentary episode of around 40 min each rather than a RUclips video. Good work
Because currently youtube algorithm reward Watch time than view count so expect a longer video format than usual 10 minutes de facto format that persist since 2014. So youtuber either make 1 minute interesting video for gain subscriber but shit pay or longer video.
@@raifikarj6698 I would think 2 parts would be better for the algorithm. It's also harder to get people to watch 40min YT videos but I'm guessing they are sacrificing some potential financial earrings in order to produce more quality content which can be considered better in the long run.
Most of these similar youtube channels seem to stick to 15-25min. I believe even RLL use to do that until recently.
@@raifikarj6698 40 minutes is way too long for a video on this topic... most people see the total duration and click away. With a better script this could've been a 20-minute one.
@Mela (AMAZING CONTENT) no you're not
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson so what bro, you can always speed up the video itself, PLUS it’s always been like that ever since a couple of years ago; also I’m not sure what your fussing & hates all about bro! F u bro !
I listened to this a ways back, but at that time, I did not know how to save on my cellphone or leave a comment. regretfully, I am not tech savey. I am learning as I go. I have asked many people to view your videos as they are very informative . Thank you for your in-depth research, as I can only assume how much time and effort these are to make
Just found your channel and can’t stop watching, great coverage ❤
Someone finally thought of the smaller US carriers. Most of the time, people only mention the supercarriers, but forget about the "helicopter" carriers, all of which either currently can or could easily be modified to carry Harriers and/or the F-35.
US doesn't need to modify anything.
The USMC specifically has been well ahead of the curve. They've been moving back to their roots for several years now and have been toying around with some next level stuff. A lot of the drone use we're seeing in Ukraine has already been tested by Marines going back several years. They are increasing the size of the fireteam to make use of these small surveillance drones that can also pack a top down punch using remote grenades. They want close air support on multiple scales. Keep in mind it was the USMC that first experimented with close air support in WW1. So now an assistant squad leader will help with mission critical and future cyber warfare capabilities on the squad leaders right shoulder, and a dedicated drone operator with 40mm remote grenades and likely other portable suicide drones on the squad leaders left shoulder. Every single squad will have the new Carl Gustaf. That's a lot of punch. Bye bye light machine gun. Every Marine sans the Gustaf gunner has the ability to lay down suppressing fire with the M27. They not only ditched their tanks but are also in the process of ditching most tubed artillery in favor of HIMARS which they proved can be fired from moving ships. Also eyeing the ballistic missiles in a shipping container concept. They are restructuring for island fights in a major way and with some serious ingenuity.
Harriers are no more. F35s suck. Try again.
@@RJT80 - speaking of island fights, the U.S. has the only military in the world with a history of serious island hopping capability. While the Japanese occupied many islands it was seldom in the face of more than token resistance - and besides, those who got island experience were almost entirely annihilated by the U.S. in the course of the war.
When I was a kid I read a bunch of books about that campaign that had been written by veterans with young readers in mind, and the ingenuity of American soldiers was amazing. In many cases they simply built the equipment they needed for a particular landing when the need arose, in theatre.
Technically if one thinks of aircraft carriers as being able to host fighter jets instead of just helicopters, then yea, the smaller LHA & LHDs of the US Navy counts.
And recently the US Navy managed to bolster their arsenal further by successfully testing out the conversion of their 2 America-class LHAs, USS America & USS Tripoli, into being able to host 20 F-35Bs. So now the number of US carriers that can send F-35 jets into combat have increased from 11 to 13, without even building any new carrier.
And the number of those LHAs will gradually increase overtime.
Another thing this video didn't mention is Japan's Navy ("Self-Defense Force"). The Japanese are now even converting their 2 largest helicopter carriers into aircraft carriers to also being able to host and operate F-35Bs, and additionally the Japanese Navy has about as many destroyers, frigates and submarines as the Royal Navy & French Navy combined. All of Japan's naval assets will definitely be in full support of the US Navy in the event of war with China and their misguided fantasies of invading Taiwan.
A 40 minute video from RealLifeLore? HELL YEAH!!

@@danny90099 So Tom Clancy huh🤣🤣😍
The Japanese Empire had a shortage of oil as well and sanctions. The reason for the attack on Pearl Harbor was a pre-emptive knockout of the Pacific response fleet because they needed to conquer specific Australian and other south east asian territories that refined oil.
And they lost
And as far as I can recall, they failed primarily because they did not get the fuel depot was at Pearl Harbor and none of our carriers were hit there.
@@K3V1N117 even if they hit our existing carriers at pearl, we would have produced replacements and then some within a couple of months.
@@damiion666 Most likely it would have hamstrung US capability in the early part of the Pacific war and would have made early retaliatory strikes like the Doolittle raid impossible but yes Japan would still have lost. It would have just prolonged the inevitable.
I mean those nukes kinda just shut the whole japan thing down over night.
Great work! (...and I just joined Nebula so as to view your other stuff)
Great video. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Being a Chinese I absolutely enjoyed the insightful explanations, which are not available in mainland China. It connects all the dots.
actually, these contents about energy, straits, harbors, and pipeline constructions already existed in a course named "Military Theory", and every single student must attend this course during their college in PRC. The western world seems to be suddenly caring about Uighurs, they indeed care about the energy.
As a Chinese citizen what is your view on the current government?
@@calvinallan2208 我们都没有粮食，饿死了几亿人口。快来摧毁我们的政府，解救我们😱。
顺便给我一些钱，当然这是最重要的
But treating Taiwan as a independent country makes me feel bad. It goes against the international consensus recognized by the United Nations.
@CL ? Really why? I mean why aren't these explanations available. I mean in mainland China you were not aware of the Bri the Gwadar port or the north sea route?
I'm sorry to say this but my Malaysian friend told me that Malaysia and Brunei overlapped EEZ claims that were settled decades ago. He says to me that, Brunei agree to recognise the Limbang district in Sarawak to be part of Malaysia in exchange for Malaysia recognising Bruneian EEZ claim.
Oh interesting
yeah... i keep wondering where he finds all these details and exact numbers or percentages, meanwhile i cant even find any statistics about violent crime in Japan other than literally one that shows favorable gun crime.
@@MrPaxio A lot of his content is sadly really misinformed, he literally made an episode on his streaming service where he literally forgot to say that the reeducation camps in xingjiang were abolished at the end of 2019, he also forgot to say it in this video. sometimes it seems he lies just to make the west seem more correct then the east...
Malaysian here - that was done during the time of Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, when the Malaysian government ceded some of the oil wells in Malaysian EEZ to Brunei, so the Brunei will recognise Limbang as Malaysian. For non-Malaysians, Limbang is an exclave outside Sarawak (Malaysia)-Brunei border. The people of Limbang had to cross the Brunei border to get to the other side of Malaysia; the other possible way is through the jungle. However, as a plot twist - from what I have read - Brunei did not explicitly recognise Limbang as Malaysian despite these exchange. Nevertheless, Malaysia and Brunei still have a very cordial relationship.
@@benjaminpolitics what I really cannot understand is how the critical importance of Xinjiang can inexplicably become the reason for a supposed genocide of Uyghurs. Shouldn't be an incentive to treat them well instead? What he says about this issue makes no sense to me.

I might note that the "northern passage" route you describe goes right by Alaska. Yes the gap is a lot wider than 1.5 miles but radar sees a long ways and giant tankers and container ships aren't at all stealthy. If the US was blockading Malacca it wouldn't give ships trying to avoid the blockade by way of Alaska a free pass.
Russian waters are also right there. Is the us going to risk nuclear war over trade in the Arctic?
@@lomiification When we are already risking nuclear war by blockading Malacca? Why not? By definition if we are blockading Malacca we either at or willing to be at war with China and it's friends. Hostilities are already happening.
@@lomiification Is Russia going to risk that? You have to keep in mind that Mutually Assured Destruction is still a thing. There is no Nuclear war, only global destruction. It would be ridiculous to suggest one side is risking something that the other isn’t.
He also completely ignores that ice isn't the only problem, shallow waters and a lack of decent harbours are also driving forces here. Having to use mini-tankers to load from shore pipelines and then rendezvous with proper mega-tankers AT SEA to cross-load, generates problems that this kind of wishful thinking simply leap-frog. Especially, as you've noted, trying to do so almost literally in sight of a US coastline. Sigh.
Was going to say the same thing. US won’t allow that passage, obviously.
honestly, I don't know when I've learnt that much in such a short/compressed time. I usually follow the news, but they never give away why background information. all of a sudden, the entire world makes more sense now. I wish this video would be considered for screening in schools! (also, his somewhat unusual way to speak DRAMATICALLY helps with memorizing 😅)
“China can use this new northern passage to avoid choke points like Mallaka”
*shows a root passing straight through tiny spaces directly next to Alaska, a US State*
If anything, the Bering Strait is probably an even more vulnerable spot than the the Strait of Mallaka if for the sole fact that it shares coastline with the United States. Also Russia doesn't have forces deployed anywhere near the Bering Strait in any sizable numbers while Hawaii (& Pearl Harbor) is relatively nearby.
Excellent point
in 2015, a small Chinese fleet transited though US territoral water of Alaska, and at the time Obama was in Alaska
There are reasons the northern route was deliberately avoided
1) it's very seasonal.
2) it runs between 2 major supposed superpowers... Which means a worse off death trap if any of them two prefer to kill off china (citing past century of Russian/Chinese relations)
@@Akideoni the first point isn’t valid for this though because it’s built into the hypothetical that this is in a world where global warming has caused it to be a year round alternative
Amazing work about a very relevant topic.
Thanks for the time and effort this surely took!
More than 600 years ago, Zheng He Qiqi in the Ming Dynasty of China, and Malacca on the May 57th Festival, he was stationed in Malacca, and his arrival deeply affected the history of this seat. Malacca City An important transit station in Malacca City, when Zheng He was ordered to go to various countries, he parked here many times and established his base camp here. ,, Malacca returned Zheng He’s relics, such as Zheng He’s every time Malacca was stationed at Sanbaoshan, and those at the foot of the mountain were stationed at Sanbaoshan. Zheng He came as an envoy, not only the envoy came to the foundation of an inch of land, an inch of land .
Great video! Thank you
The fact that nations can imagine new shipping routs for LNG after the ice caps are gone as opposed to imagining a future without burning fossil fuels for energy is a very bad sign.
"lets wait for more pollution to happen, so we can pollute even more!
Capitalism is a death cult that will burn the world if it means a handful of already wealthy ghouls get slightly richer
Also, the Bering Strait replaces one choke point with another, which is half-owned by the U S.A.
It's only a matter of time before fossil fuel reserves run out anyway. If no war happens in the next 50-70 years then the facts mentioned in the video won't matter anymore.
That's exactly what i thought.

@@erwinz5926 sounds like someone discovered RUclips for the first time? Felix is new to internet? wait till he discovers PornHub 😂
But did you donate?
I learned much of this in school, some 20 years ago. Back then it was mostly about driving a wedge between communist regimes - the latest gas reserves were unknown (like in Ukraine...), but the importance of Taiwan and the region was already abundantly clear. Same for the support for dictators and Israel in the Middle East, or the invasion of Vietnam for that matter. The latter aimed to thwart China above all else - done more successfully in South Korea: creating an ally next door to China (the invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan have a similar origin, right next to Iran).
The fact you compare this (and books, dedicated journalists - real information) to TV and the news (mostly entertainment) is just baffling. The latter want ratings and are nearly always shallow, short tempered and near sighted... The former often has little money, doesn't get (nor wants) much attention, but loves his/her work. You'd expect them in places like this, or in some obscure magazine/website. People like woodward and attenborough stand out, but it took them a long time to get noticed (since it wasn't about being noticed - not about them, but about their love).
But better late then never I suppose. Quality takes time. It's easier to just keep peddling fear, temptation and sensational but pointless events. Makes money a lot easier and people who invest money just love that. This is the main problem with MSM (and to some extent politics) these days; their audience became too big and the MSM are offering the lowest common denominator in an effort to maximise profit - the achilles' heel of capitalism.
Ideals are a lot more difficult to sell, they take effort... The dude here still believes in informing people and objectivity.
That's rare in big corporations, especially when they are present on wall street, when they have stocks and a lot of people who just want money.
In the end, all of this is about money. And the power it holds over people and their greed. Finding out the motivation behind a narrative is very important, each and every day - most 'impportant' people tend to be very manipulative. The number one reason why we don't like lawyers and politicians - and these days, oh so many journalists and tv hosts. The majority make a living by selling lies. And now there are conspiracies everywhere as a result...
Fantastic video, narration, research, and story.
Felt like 15 minutes.

The thing about land trade is that it’s easily destroyed. Rail and pipes could be taken out with a couple well placed air strikes and I’m sure they would be put out of service for at least a couple weeks which would give time to make more strikes and with them extending so far you could treat it like futile warfare and attack and pull out all along the lines effectively ruining the supply for good.
They’re usually quite deep in the country that sending fighter jets would be a one way mission. Should the pipelines run through Afghanistan that place is as far from the sea as one can get. As for railways in Russia the aircraft would need more fuel than its operational range.

Wow, this is truly the most interesting and informative content I’ve seen in a long time!
Well done except for I do get tired of the commercials 4 nebula. But at least they're at the end and can be easily skipped. I also understand the reasoning for these commercials.
⚓️ Thanks Lore 😎 two other Indonesian Straits > Sunda & Lombok < are viable and a bit less traveled for the big tankers. Trouble for maritime traffic is the confined passages, allowing for small gun boats to lurk near shore, ideal for commando type operations to interdict. 😎 Malacca/Singapore Straits are not much better, pirates have taken advantage in the recent past, though Malay & Indo efforts have curtailed those incidents, ⚓️

The Modern Conflicts series is legit amazing... If i hadn't signed up for the Curiosity stream + Nebula deal through "History Buffs", it 100% would have been through you. Thank you for your videos dude, they're really amazing.
It’s just straight up propaganda. You might as well save your money and just watch CNN or any other mainstream corporate media. You’ll get the same elitist narrative.
hell no, it's american propaganda
@@Mk-jr8rg And you're basing this opinion on....??
Given your reaction, I'm going to presume you haven't watched the series. And if you haven't seen it, how can you accurately critique it?
The series doesn't shy away from telling of American involvement, or wrong-doing, when it's there, or it's what happened.
I, however, get the sense that, if it's not Russian-positive, Putin propaganda, then you're probably going to disregard it as; "American propaganda". Though, please correct me if I'm wrong in assuming that about you..!
The visualization animations are impeccable 👌 Excellent job to your team for this insanely good content! 🤗
Its antiChina propagnda.
I mean it’s propaganda so….
@@RealEyesRealizeFascists lol
@@RealEyesRealizeFascists Especially the part about Sri Lanka's port, which is proven to be fake news. Still parroting it.
Russia sent 33.26 million tons of oil to China via pipeline in the first ten months of this year, Huang was quoted as saying by Russian news agency TASS at a Russia-China energy forum.
While pipeline oil deliveries were basically unchanged this year, China has significantly increased its seaborne imports of Russian crude as Beijing increased imports.
Love your vids dude but I can't work out why you ham it up so theatrically with your voice.
Are you paid per cubic foot of air expelled unecessarily or just blowing up balloons during the recording? ;-)
Subscribed to Curiosity stream using your code; your videos are not only long and informative and interesting, but impressively well edited without typographical errors and incorrect maps. Your account is worth supporting and I look forward to buying your geopolitics book in the future!
Agreed wholeheartedly. I just signed up as well.
Theres a small community of purely wholesome and genuinely caring youtubers and he is certainly on the list.
I also just subsrcibed. I am usually very reluctant on buying stuff I don't need, but this could be a great replacement to Netflix.
@@ericalorraine7943Think long term, personally i ventured into the market so i won’t be stranded after i retire. A colleague of mine introduced me to CFA " Teresa Jensen White " who drew out retirement plans and they all aligned with what i wanted and had to pick one plan and with her exit and entry strategies on commodities, securities and digital assets, my portfolio has really been diversified with good ROI. I am really impressed by how much i have achieved
Despite the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest
Investment now will be wise but the truth is investing on your own will be a high risk. I think it will be best to get a professional👌
Thank you for such an insightful video! It makes so much sense of current events and the reasoning behind why they are occurring.
Thanks 🙏🏾
Great video
To be honest, he also should’ve mentioned the Andaman and Nicobar islands (India) which are close to the malacca trait. Since India is a QUAD ally that has bases there, it’s conceivable that they could move to seize it before the Chinese and then wait for the US Navy to join in from their Diego Garcia base. China is already heavily militarising its land borders with India. I don’t like to think about it, but this whole situation involving at least 3 nuclear powers gives me the shivers
He usually makes USA vs China
He doesn't know about the cold war between India & China happening in Asia
I'm hoping for a nuclear winter to cut down this population size!
Came crossed your channel and I am so glad I did. The information and delivery of the subject is immaculate. Thank you for providing facts!
if the narrator stopped stretching every single syllable, the video would be half as short
Our narrator likely has some psychological concerns.
Totally agree with you. The way he talks is so annoying, not to mention the China bashing propaganda is totally baseless.
@@henryng9406 The majority of the narrator's 'China bashing' I wholeheartedly agree with. The CCP deserves the vast majority of complaints as long it hides behind it's xenophobic, immature cultural opacity. Xi, lacks the basic maturation to accept a different point of view or a depreciation. That sounds far too close scum bag #45, no thanks. GOP (Grifters Often Prevaricating)! The party of 'law and order', right?
The North Sea trade route appears to require vessels to get within spitting distance of Alaska right? Would that really fix things?
I love your vids and how detailed you get. Keep making them and I'll keep watching them!
What a quality presentation, I look forward to more fine content.
love the channel and all the work you guys do!! Thank you!!
(but please stop over emphasising words like HUUUUGE - MAAAAJOR - etc we get the point of the word, just a little to much every sentence. We're watching, dont worry LoL)
This puts so many things into context
Signed up for the bundle! This has been super educational and provides valuable context for the current conflict.
I love these videos! Ty for your hard work on this content 🙏
my friend jaylen told me he a trump supporter =/ had to unsub =/
$15 / year is the recent announced cost.. $30 / shows up as the actual cost..?
Love the start wars to reference 🙂
Your videos are astonishingly well made and so informative!
thank you , very eye opening !!
Dude. What a story you came up with. Cheers. Great writing.
AMAZING RESEARCH
Even the Andaman and Nicobar islands are a headache for 🇨🇳.
It's amazing how your breakout video was a breakdown of how A Game of Thrones' main plotpoints were actually based on notable events in Royalty and Politics of Great Britain hundreds of years ago. And now, today in 2022 you're creating videos about the way way more mind boggling and complex economic geopolitcal relationships of friendly and rival nations of the 21st century. Cracking stuff! What a glow-up!
Man, these documentaries of yours, are something else!
Great damn job!
Finally makes sense of china's hard on for South China seas.
wow, simply an enlightening video
One small detail that seems to have been over looked.. the dependence of the American economy on China.. as highlighted by the global health crisis. I'm certainly no economist but if all imports from China stopped tomorrow with no nearterm hope of starting back up, I imagine effects on the economy would be brutal.
China is the debentant one here
Very informative video, this channel should make long videos like this more often
