Because China believes Taiwan belongs to it, China’s been preparing its military for the specific task of taking it over. It now has a strategy designed to overwhelm Taiwan before the US can intervene. Our new channel, Search Party, explains how Taiwan and the US are working to update their strategy before it's too late. WATCH NOW: ruclips.net/video/2QmIZcTzMgM/видео.htmlsi=ycANU38a5BR_DhWJ

@Drexler7
The other side of the same statement is that the leaders of victim-countries of PRC, never ever look at the maps. To win over PRC, one needs to be heavily map-savvy.
Myanmar-China fence was built to mostly prevent drug trade in that region. During WW2, ROC sent troops to Myanmar to fight Japanese, but as KMT was defeated by the commies soon after WW2, some of KMT's land forces retreated into the forest in northern Myanmar. After KMT fled to Taiwan, it couldn't afford maintaining supply and logistics of this military presence in Myanmar, and (I might be wrong here) subsequently decommissioned these regiments. However, instead of letting them to surrender to PRC or bring them to Taiwan, they just left them in Myanmar. These militants became the local warlords and started to grow poppies to finance/support themselves. Note, these aren't from creditable sources because it's a dark history for both sides. The true stories are covered by both sides. Only rumors and tales told by people from that region.
But there are hundreds of thousands of drug dealers, illegal gambling, smuggle and even deal of organs are prevailing in this area, I knew some people who live near this border and is constantly harassed by warlords' troops and threatened, it's just a place of chaos, it's common to have small war there. As China is extremely strict on drugs due to its past history more than 100 years ago, the wall makes it harder for drugs to go into China as well as smuggle.
诈骗，毒品，赌博，中国境内的亡命徒与缅甸北部的军阀勾结，诱骗了很多无辜的人去那里，中国政府不得不建起围墙。
Because it's important to them, Huh selfish or do they know what havoc can be tested and proven as a break down in a countrys security safety and the people who are affected
Based on my understanding, those soldiers left/abandoned in Myanmar eventually moved to northern Thailand many decades ago (might have been kicked out by Myanmar). A lot of their descendants now live in Mae Salong and I visited it in 2012. I stumbled across a school which taught children textbooks donated by the ROC government.
你说的很对
I like the part that when china is in control of certain area you say "it's CONTROLLER by China", but when India is in control of certain area you say "It BELONGS to india"
It's too ironic, this is a video promoting China as evil, he doesn't care about historical territorial ownership. As long as China is evil, that's okay
@@user-xl2eg7qx1x but u can't deny that china has so many border disputers than is neighbouring countries
@@laveniaghosh8303 From a historical perspective, how much territory has China lost.
The land he called as being "CONTROLLED" by China (in Kashmir region) was the one that didnt belong to China before, but is controlled by it now. But the land that he said "BELONGS" to India (Arunachal Pradesh) is a state which has been a rightful part of the Indian territory since its independence, ocuupied by Indian citizens and the claim by China is nonsense with no backing. They already have problems with their claim to tibet which is disputed, let alone this so called south tibet of theirs lol. As he commented, wishful thinking. China is doing this just to satisfy their vain ego, assert their power and pressurize India.
@@lamewater772 The concept of a nation's "legal" territory is inherently subject to change over history, wars, and various events. If you firmly believe that a specific area objectively belongs to a certain country, you should take a look at the extent of China's Yuan dynasty's territory. The territories we discuss as "disputed" indicate that the narrator should not have any bias regarding their ownership. When you presuppose that a place strictly "belongs" to a particular country, your understanding of the word "disputed" has already been skewed. What you are doing is merely reinforcing and justifying your pre-existing stance with that same stance.
What I want to say is that China's map has always been like this. You can carefully compare maps from previous years; it's just that this year it has been brought up by various media.
You are right
And the map on the video cover is also not right,there is no hainan
It just proves that Chinese government is evil and is planning for world domination.
according to my map, the whole world is mine. I compare all the maps I drew in the last 10 years , it also says the whole world is mine.
@@KJ-ml2zb "I never respond to fools, and you are the first. My advice is for you to study seriously and consult relevant materials."
The Russian island claim is very easy to explain: it's a test to see how Russia will respond. Russia has a lot of territory in Manchuria that it took from China during the century of humiliation. China wants it back. So they are testing Russia to see how strongly they can respond here and will use that info to determine how to push their other claims
I think the Russians will simply ignore china's claims
well they are partners right? /s
Well China does have some leverage over Rusia

Ahh yes, an expert on foreign policy.
So why is it legal for Britain to divide the Sino-Indian border?
王莽同学，这个问题很好
If tibbet is a Chinese land it is also a Indian land india is so much connected with tibbet for centuries the budhhism brought from India , many Indians travelled tibbet as a tibbet is a very special place for Indians , if Tibet would independent it is ok for india ,but tibbet is now captured by china so in that case tibbet also belongs to us ,
Because in that time British in power and tibbet has own power you people don't captured tibbet in that time but presently you people killed the sovereignty of tibbet
Whataboutism, the classic fallback.
@@bg53rockylayek4 Simple logic, bro. If you are in power, you can legally demarcate the regional ownership, then China can be in power at any time, just as Britain once did.
I think there is a major point missing in this video: Namely, that almost all of these territorial disputes have not simply been created by China’s Communist Party, but have been inherited (and later exacerbated) from the Chinese Republic and to some degree from the Qing era.
These border conflicts are the result of the absolute mess that we call the 20th century, and unfortunately the video doesn’t really reflect that. By watching, one instead gets the feeling that these disputes have mainly been orchestrated by the modern Chinese government. And while there are plenty of gross violations of international laws and norms that one can lay onto Beijing’s feet, these border disputes have a far more complicated story than that.
I also think that this outlook on China’s border conflicts actually minimizes the gravity of the situation, because one gets the feeling that if China was to become a democracy overnight, these problems would go away. Unfortunately, they would not, which may be exemplified by the fact that Taiwan holds almost the same, if not larger territorial claims. Taiwan also argues that the 9 (or 11) dash line is valid - and it has shown little interest to compromise on this stance thus far.
And while I understand the message of the video was to make a point about the political weight of creating maps, its still important to at least hint at the complexity and debatable story behind these disputes - even if there is no time to explain them in a short video, which is of course understandable.
Exactly, it's well known that Johnny SIMPLIFIES much of his storytelling.
You make great videos too , and way more in depth,keep up the good work
Taiwan actually claims Mongolia as part of China.
@@huangec ^That is outdated information. Taiwan no longer claims this, and hasn't for some time.
Also, Taiwan is not allowed to change its claims without China getting very, very angry. No one in Taiwan wants to claim with a straight face that Manchuria is part of Taiwan, but the moment they don't claim that, they are saying that they aren't China, and then China threatens to kill everyone on the island.
That is why the ROC still claims all of the mainland, Mongolia (not as much anymore tho), Tibet, Xinjang, and some Japanese-administered islands.
Johnny's favorite topic (maps) combined with current geopolitical events... I would call this a win for the audience :)
Yes please do a video on the border fence!
+200 Credit Score🇨🇳
Ignoring his own country doing a genocide but talking about others potential aggression… don’t you need to finish one war before starting another!?
Well you can't blame china. Why should they hold themselves to certain rules and border rights if the same thing happening in israel is ok by the west but if anyone else does it, it is a shame. Arrogance..
Fails to mention China is not alone in building military islands in disputed waters.
Vietnam has built more military islands in Philippine Waters.
Fails to mention the 11 Dash line of Taiwan. Where Chinas 9-10 Dash line comes from.
According to your interpretation that the tenth dash line was added recently in this update. However, when I searched for maps published in 2019 and 2016, both maps already showed the tenth dash line next to Taiwan. Therefore it’s not a sudden change but a constant effort for Beijing to acclaim Taiwan as part of China.
是这样的
If you look it up 70 years ago, 150 years ago, the maps still included Taiwan
Did you even watch this video carefully? He said that 'it's not a first time tenth dash appeared on a chinese government map'
If u look It up China is Mongolia. There is no china
@@user-if6rq1bj7o Take a map from WW2 and behold how big Germany was. Or the British Empire ... or ...
This video is extremely misleading, as the 2023 version of the China map does not change in any way from the 2020 version in terms of borders and landmasses, but only in terms of city labelling and so on. Spreading rumours about China on RUclips is a no-cost affair.💀
Finally.. someone is talking about India's geographical issues with China and not just political or military or economic issues...
Edit 1: It is a healthy discussion down here in the reply-section. Don't worry. We are safe from any virtual wars :)

This is political, it’s stirring new conflict
But be careful for the hidden power who is actually putting out all the hateful narrative and addicted to profit from conflicts and wars at the moment.
@@jaymarxnot exactly "new".. China has been doing this since decades and a lot of geo-political commentaries have been already made on that... it has already led to 1 full-fledge war between India and China in 1962 and a lot more skirmishes later in 1980s to 2020s... My point was that this is the first time someone has actually talked about it purely from a geographical perspective
They are all mad at china, but when israel does the same they clap their hands greatfully
I’d definitely love a video on that fence with Myanmar, I’d be super interested to see how it’s effecting peoples that have mingled and traded for years and now have to give that up for the sake of control.
Maybe checking out southeast asian scam mills' human trafficking would help you to add up some other perspectives.
there is no conflict. China is just protecting smuggling. Johnny Harris misinterpreted the situation.

@@hb.raafay Did you use some kind of VPN to connect to this video?
This video characterizes China as a land grabber, which is not surprising. I think even people with scant knowledge of China know that premodern China has never been a land-grabbing belligerent. What they really mean is that Communist China is a land grabber. But is it? Communist China's territorial management has been studied by Taylor Fravel, a political scientist at MIT, who published a book called "Strong Borders, Secure Nation," concluding that Communist China is a land conceder and has not land-grabbed any of its neighbors. Taylor Fravel is a China hawk, so even he has admitted that China is not a land grabber. There is a land grabber by the way and that is India. Today, the territory of India is much bigger than it was in 1947, and all the land it acquired was through invasion and subjugation. You should find out how India's 'Seven Sister States' became part of India.
Talking about maps in 1912, the first full year of the Republic of China (nowadays usually referred to as Taiwan) after the fall of the Qing dynasty, the United States National Geographic Society dedicated an issue on China and with the issue it included a very large and detailed foldout map of China. If you go to the area close to Bhutan, you can see the town of Tawang and the surrounding area, which is clearly within China. Today, Tawang is occupied by India, and the surrounding area is called Arunachal Pradesh by India. In fact, as late as the late 1940s after World War II, the flag of the Republic of China (nowadays usually referred to as Taiwan) was flying high in Tawang. Today, it is the Indian flag that is flying there. And India is still promoting the narrative that India is a hapless victim of an expansionist China.
Hi Johnny, since you are an investigative journalist, this map is available in the internet and you can download it and see what I am talking about.

So true
Funny facts, China's territorial disputes with countries along the Himalayas stem from the borders that Britain arbitrarily drew on a map when it withdrew from colonizing Indochina (Pakistan and India's conflicts are due to the same reason). And the root cause of China's territorial disputes in the South China Sea is also due to the geopolitical needs of the United States to carve up the world at the end of the Second World War. As for Taiwan, it was included in China's jurisdiction eight centuries ago until it was colonized by Japan in World War II. As a youtuber, there is so much history you need to catch up on.
This is a political propaganda video masquerading as a geography science video.
Finally, there is someone told the truth.
The video was full of bias of China.
I'm from the north-eastern region of India
I think these assertion of dominance are concerning
We people will never get along to those people

This is my first time watching your videos
And I'm hooked
Indian Keyboard warriors worrying about israel more than they should be worried about manipur. 😂😂
Adding to this, one of the most disgusting part about this ongoing conflict is, in an attempt to show China's supremacy China almost always downplays the death of it's soldiers, so many cases where Chinese soldiers just leave their own comrade's dead bodies and run away. Indian army carries all these bodies and tries to contact China every time to come and get their fallen soldiers, but they refuse claiming they aren't their soldiers but "terrorists", Indian army proceeds to give them a proper burial too.

Mis translation, interpretation is sometimes due to the viewers own agenda/existing stand point.
However, in the end, the one with the bigger stick builds history
I think it's better translated as " (this) must never be wrong."
As in, we cannot be wrong about this map, what we say *is the truth* .
I like that translation even more! Especially since they are maps that have random offsets to both the latitude and longitude.

You often mentioned the international law in places where China breaks it, but when it came to Taiwan you just said it has been independent for decades, which in practice is was, but according to international law - it is not independent at all and it actually is a part of China, regardless of what political system one recognizes as the ruling one over China, which in practice is the CCP.
This is such a biased channel with tons of double-standard narratives.
@@Jackiepkui gree with you
Try to declare independence from a bully country and see what happens.
@@DavidMaldonadoR Taiwan government in 1950s lost the civil war with the current Mainland government, and they shamelessly ask US to bomb Chinese people with atomic weapons instead of fight back with their regular forces for “justice”. I don’t understand who’s really bullying the Chinese people and who’s actually protecting them from invasion of foreign imperialist.
US knew that bombing your own people is absurd and unacceptable, they refused the stupid request and asked Taiwan to accept their failure. No need to mention the Chiang Kai Shek government constantly refuse and intentionally undermining China’s peace and democratization process.
US in 1945 was helping the KMT in democratisation process, but Chiang Kai Shek only wants to be another new emperor and rule. The current independent idea of Taiwan has no historical background, political evidence and diplomatic support from most countries of the world, which means no body support Taiwan for independence internationally. Not because people are afraid of China or other bullshit, because Taiwan government was a piece of shit and it’s still like this, so no other country is happy that he’s back in UN and make everyone unhappy.
And no legal reason or evidence in supporting the independence of Taiwan.
The fun fact: if Taiwan should independent, then Northern Ireland should be independent from UK too. Because a simply fact: UK government was bullying Irish people and a part of Ireland is already independent. The Northern Ireland is a sign of colonialism and imperialism. Why American people don’t go to help Irish people to fight for their legal rights?
@@Xiezi_0125 Your claim just doesn't make sense at all. Even after the chinese civil war ended and PRC gained total control over chinese mainland, United Nations kept denying that PRC is a lawful representative for Chinese people. And when PRC slowly re-gained global power with its military and world's biggest market, UN declared that PRC is a representative of chinese people. Not even a single country cut diplomatic ties with taiwan just because ROC is a piece of shit. That's just because they are scared of economic backlash. It's even nonsense to compare northern ireland to Taiwan. Northern Irish and British government officials signed 'Belfast Agreement' which makes northern ireland still be a part of UK. Taiwanese problem is totally different thing. And It's kinda reality that Taiwan is de facto independent country. I'm not saying that Taiwan is completely independent and international community broadly accepted it, but i just wanted to point out that your opinion contains a bit of misinformation and biased point of view.

If I remember correctly, when the Machanon line was drawn, Tibet said that it'd agree to the land transfer only if the beijing government was ok with it

I want to tell you an interesting fact. At the end of World War II, the then government of China was the Republic of China (currently in Taiwan). When the Chinese government went to these islands to re-erect boundary markers in 1946, because the Chinese government did not have the ability to sail far, it was the United States government that sent The warships transported then-Republic of China government staff to re-erect boundary markers on these islands.
If you are aware the then, ROC government was a puppet of the US, your fact isn't as interesting as it should.
It's still interesting, thanks :)
The Kuomintang, the Chinese government at that time, was supported by the United States, didn't you know that? The United States wanted to support a Chinese political party against the Soviet Union

You definitely should cover about China-Myanmar border. The border is infamous among local Burmese. During Covid-19 China shut down border checkpoints and trade posts without informing anyone which led to the financial crisis of local farmers and traders. And China sometimes built border fences and barriers within Myanmar's territory. The area is also known for gambling, drug production, human trafficking and arms trafficking.
Wa State is pretty interesting
Yunnan province of China is viewed as the "Gateway to Southeast Asia and South Asia" and it is now officially promoted as such. There are many Burmese people living and working in Yunnan who speak Mandarin and those border areas are a blend of Burmese and Chinese culture, you see it with the usage of both Chinese and Burmese scripts. You can find many Burmese Muslim men selling jade to Chinese customers and Burmese are the largest foreign group in China as of 2020. In northern Myanmar, in the city of Mandalay, there are also many Yunnanese from China living and working in the city to the point that Mandalay has become increasingly "Chinese" in atmosphere.

So in the thumbnail china disregarded one island and replaced it with taiwan
Hainan island
1. The tenth dash line in the South China Sea has always existed; it's just that the previous maps were horizontal, and the South China Sea was displayed in a small section, where only nine dashes could be seen. The old version with Taiwan included has been available, so wouldn't it be reasonable to consult the old version map before making a video?
2. Originally, there were 11 dashes in the South China Sea, but due to the clear demarcation of the boundary between China and Vietnam in the northern Gulf, it was canceled.
3. When the eleven-dash line was drawn in the South China Sea, the surrounding countries were still colonies. If we really want to discuss it, their countries were established around China, rather than the eleven-dash line extending to their surroundings. As a victorious country in World War II, the South China Sea was within China's sphere of influence at that time (supported by navigation maps and historical records), and it was tacitly approved by the United States and others. Just because China is now a communist country and not your Western ally doesn't mean you can ignore historical facts.
4. There has always been a traditional customary line in the southern Tibet region, and the Chinese government (since the Republic of China) has never recognized the McMahon Line (falsified by the British government in 1935). Regarding the Sino-Indian issue, I suggest you look into the Sino-Indian War of the 1960s to understand who invaded whom and who initiated the war. India not only invaded Chinese territory beyond the traditional customary line but also crossed the McMahon Line before China counterattacked.
5. Taiwan (Republic of China government) used to make claims about the mainland, or it would be more accurate to say that the Republic of China government's claims were broader. This included present-day Mongolia, parts of the far northwest (part of West Asian countries), the Tannu Uriankhai (now the Tuva Republic of Russia). The Republic of China government also claimed that the Diaoyu Islands belonged to China.

.the tibet was a Independent country which declared its sovereignty and was also supported all over the world , having a sperate goverment and peoles call themselfe citizen of Tibet NOT CHINA , while war tibet was gain support from CIA from USA and before war it was recognised by UK and thats why BRITISH GOVERMENT invited representative of tibet to conclude and sperate borders , and then MC mohn line was drawn in agreement of both reperesentative of india and tibet , Quing dinasty was not ruling tibet so , it have no rights to trasfer tibet to Republic of china without agreement of citizens and goverment of tibet , China done a full invasion and killing of Tibet and their people , and in Indo china war aslo in 1962 china invaded that area and some othe parts of india , and unfortunately we lost that battle but after 32 days the china returned behind MCmohan line , so that part again come under the rule of india , and previous maps also that part was not shown as a part of china its only resent maps they start including that part randomly ..
and as for the interational recognisation the UN also recognise MCmohan line as final border between india and china and also arunanchal pradesh as integral part of india

One of the most disgusting part about this ongoing conflict is, in an attempt to show China's supremacy they almost always downplay the deaths of it's soldiers, so many cases where Chinese soldiers just leave their own comrade's dead bodies and run away. Indian army carries all these bodies and tries to contact China every time to come and get their fallen soldiers, but they refuse claiming they aren't their soldiers but "terrorists", Indian army proceeds to give them a proper burial too.

In 2011, Tajikistan ratified a 1999 deal (and a 2002 supplementary agreement) to cede 200 and 1,122 km2 respectively of land in the Pamir Mountains to China, ending a 130-year dispute. In the treaty, China also relinquished claims to over 28,000 km2 of Tajikistani territory, so its not a dispute anymore.
@@johnnyharris First of all, the boundary agreement signed by the so-called representatives of Britain and Tibet was illegal because the central government at the time was the Qing government and the Qing government had never agreed to the boundary drawn by the British. The so-called Tibetan representatives were purely directed and acted by the British. Second, the territory of the East India Company that India illegally inherited has never belonged to India in history. Even India was the only regime to annex a sovereign country after World War II. India illegally annexed Sikkim. Third, the United States is the first country in the world to recognize China’s maritime territory in the South China Sea. In order to allow the Republic of China to fight against the Japanese Empire in the South China Sea, the United States proactively recognized the South China Sea. When China was managing the territory of the South China Sea, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam How could this sea area belong to these countries when they are not yet independent but are still colonies?

The CPC and the Chinese Kuomintang were different political parties in a country decades ago. The political ideas of the two parties were different. The Kuomintang lost its popular support. The Communist Party was once maimed by the Kuomintang and forced to flee to remote mountainous areas in China. Later, it continued to grow and prosper under the condition of material shortage, and the surrounding of cities by rural areas won. Since then, China has split into two regions, and China has not fully achieved reunification. Although some of their grandparents hope to return, it has little impact on the overall situation. The people of Chinese Mainland do not want to recover by force. They have been helping Taiwan businessmen economically and interacting with each other in cultural exchanges for many years. However, under the political leadership of the United States, China can only tolerate. Because the mainland has always believed that a family should have a bottom line and not harm ordinary people. We cannot lose the hearts of the people. So I haven't played for so many years. Chinese culture has had a tradition of unified collectivism since ancient times, sacrificing one's own small family for the sake of a larger family. In the past century, China was bullied by many countries, and the Nationalist and Communist governments in Taiwan drove away the Japanese aggressors in such an era. Eventually, they dispersed due to political beliefs and party struggles. Why should a family be fooled by reality? Fate has caused Chinese people too much, but in the end, I want to say that Chinese people will always strive for self-improvement and create their own future with their own efforts. No one can hinder us from achieving our unified goal. No one can abandon the relationship between bloodline cultures.中国共产党和中国国民党几十年前一个国家的不同政党，两个党派政治理念不一样，国民党失去了民心，共产党曾经被国民党残害，被迫逃到中国偏远山区，后来在物质匮乏的情况下不断发展壮大，农村包围城市取得了胜利。国民党逼迫退守中国台湾。由于美国之前不看好共产党大量帮助国民党，所以台湾也很长时间没有回归。自此，中国分裂成两个地区，中国也就没有彻底实现统一。身为一个中国人我们渴望统一，而不是把台湾作为美国政治战略牌任意挥霍。身为一个中国年轻人也有很多台湾朋友，我很清楚由于教育问题，大部分台湾年轻人不希望回归统一。他们的父辈爷爷辈虽然部分人希望回归，但是这对于大局没什么影响。中国大陆的人民不希望武力收复，一直很多年在经济上帮助台商，文化交流上互动，但是迫于美国政治主导，中国只能忍耐。有几次中国政府真的很想在台湾问题上和美国堂堂正正打一场，但顾及台湾人民，迫于民心，一直持续让利于台湾，更加激发了现在政府的嚣张。随着中国大陆强盛，中国大陆政府明明有几十种锁死台湾的方法但是一直没有使用。因为大陆一直认为一家人不能伤和气要有底线，不能伤害到普通民众。不能失去民心。所以这么多年一直没打。中国文化自古至今就有统一集体主义，为了更大的家，牺牲自己小家的传统。如果有一天美国继续以台湾威胁中国，以此获取更多利益，中国会坚决保家卫国，与美国堂堂正正打一场。最后再三强调，台湾人和中国大陆留着一样的鲜血，不少台湾人至今还有人回大陆寻祖宗坟墓，寻找在大陆的亲人。当年中国百年被很多国家欺负，台湾国民党政府和共产党政府在那样的时代赶走了日本侵略者，最终因为政治理念，和党派斗争而分散。一家人为什么要被现实捉弄，命运让中国人遭遇了太多，但我最后想说，中国人永远自强不息，永远自己用自己的努力创造出属于自己的未来。谁也不能阻碍我们实现统一的目标。谁也无法割舍血脉文化之间的关系。如果台湾人自己不愿回家，我们可以为他们留回家的路，但是美国如果敢阻拦我们的家事，那就是与我们为敌。

I can somehow understand how Beijing would be a tad paranoid about loosing control over a strategic connection between two provinces where its reputation in the general population might have, to put this tactfully, some room for improvement.
@@venanziadorromatagni1641
What is missed, is the terrain in this flat plain is above 15,000 feet (4.5 km) high, unlike any other place on continents elsewhere. It creates huge physiological (& psychological) problems. In all wars, from times immemorial till modern times, it is the troops on land, that hold the land for that country. 1962 war proved it. Air force's role is secondary & as pressure point sea-warfare is tertiary. It is the will of men on ground to hold that ground that is crucial. Galwan incident amply proved it. At these altitudes (& in winter particularly) aircraft may not take off & tanks may not move. The will hold the land was not there in the Indian Army in 1962 (though a heroic bunch of 105 defying orders of superior officers)held the ground at Rezang la. In the heap of bodies taken as dead, 5 soldiers were found alive. This time too PLA made repeated forays to take it but couldn't (his time Tibetans with Indian Army did it). India still possesses tactical advantages.
Helicopters that are taken for granted, to land or pick soldiers & supplies, as made in the West are useless (Chinook & Apache of American make have service ceiling of 6km - there is no need to for them - while terrain demands higher performance). India saw that need & has to design own helicopters. In 1962, C-113 packet couldn't land or take off. Indian aircraft factory put a "jet pack" on top, to compensate for lower performance at these high altitudes. I heard that 18 ton "light" tanks with parachutes tied to each corner were dropped from air, as it is insane to ask for roads here. Many of them got reduced to heaps of metals & were cannibalised for those who were still mobile. It is a multi-dimensional warfare here, that if I start writing it'll become a book. Let someone write (not me).
In these skirmishes (by the dozen) both sides can't use fire-arms as per pacts made as PRC claims that India is a friendly country after 4 decades of bloody incidents (only in 1990s the then Indian Defence minister, George Fernandes declared that PRC is India's No.1 enemy relegating Pakistan to a minor place). So one sees a comic show of troops from both sides doing Sumo-wrestling at altitudes higher than M. Denali - at times with a contrived smile on faces. It is painful that reminds Albert Einstein prophecy of WW III. It seems that one of the goals in their 5 year plans is
(how much)territory acquired that year from the neighbour ! Chinese are inscrutable & have no doubts about it.

Myanmar have bigger problem on their own than the border between them and China. maybe stop the civil war first, and stop terrorize ur own people
Some Chinese perspectives here. 1. The fence was build during the pandemic to stop the spread of virus from Myanmar, where there had been constantly people trying to cross the boarder to reach the more wealthy china. 2. There had been human trafficking happening around the boarder. Many Chinese men and women are kidnapped to Myanmar and subsequently into force labor or even killed. 3. Drug smuggling. The Chinese government AND people had been 0-tolerant about drugs and are determined to stop it.

What you may not know is that all the maps, territories, and territorial claims of mainland China, including the 10-dash line and other territorial and map rules, are legally inherited from the Autumn Leaf Begonia map of the Republic of China government (the former regime of the Kuomintang, the opposition party of the current Taiwan government, which still calls itself the Republic of China, and the People’s Republic of China also agrees to recognize the Republic of China and Chinese Taipei under the “only one China” principle, which is widely accepted by the United States, Europe, and the United Nations). Moreover, compared to the territorial claims of the Autumn Leaf Begonia map (Outer Mongolia, Outer Northeast, Outer Northwest), the disputed territorial claims of mainland China are less than 1% of the Autumn Leaf Begonia map’s territorial claims. According to the principles of international law, the People’s Republic of China government is the legal successor of the Republic of China, and has the right to claim all the inheritance of the Republic of China, including territory, population, state machinery, and state assets. The biggest problem now is that the Republic of China in Taiwan has not been completely wiped out. When they completely give up their sovereignty claims over the Republic of China, the CCP, as the legal successor of the Republic of China, will also be normal to carry out the final recovery of the Republic of China’s territory and population.
The Republic of China (Taiwan) is technically still claiming all these territories (which even includes the whole country of Mongolia), but of course they in no way enforce these claims. The claims only still exist because the PRC is basically forcing Taiwan to keep them. The Taiwanese people by an overwhelming majority want Taiwan to be a sovereign state, independent from Mainland China. The PRC is threatening to invade Taiwan if they formally declare independence. Meaning, if Taiwan would change their official claim of territory to only include Taiwan and the Islands around it (which is all they are actually in control of), the PRC would retaliate severely, maybe even invade. For Taiwan it's of course not worth it to officially change some claims that no-one (including them) actually takes seriously.
And besides that, no country has the right to forcefully annex territory just because some map drawn one hundred years ago included them somewhere.

Great video, as always Johnny. I do notice one small flaw, though. In the South China Sea sections, you are accurate that China also has disputes with other countries bordering the South China Sea: Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam. However, there is one other country that also has disputes with the Nine-dash Line: Indonesia (my home country). The disputes with the other countries are mostly regarding the Spratly Islands, but not with Indonesia. So, Indonesia’s EEZ in the South China Sea overlaps with the Nine-dash Line, which is the source of the tension; I watched a video when Indonesia was planting an oil rig, presumably close to the Nine-dash Line (whereas it is within Indonesia's own waters), and that Chinese vessels were sent to patrol the site.

Yet, in 1950s, PRC built a road across Aksai Chin (that the Indian authorities hadn't got even a smell of it), nomenclature-d as G219 in their maps - to connect Tibet with Xinjiang.

One of the most disgusting part about this ongoing conflict is, in an attempt to show China's supremacy they almost always downplay the deaths of it's soldiers, so many cases where Chinese soldiers just leave their own comrade's dead bodies and run away. Indian army carries all these bodies and tries to contact China every time to come and get their fallen soldiers, but they refuse claiming they aren't their soldiers but "terrorists", Indian army proceeds to give them a proper burial too.
@@ManuSaraswat又在这里胡扯，2020年中国向印度移交了至少30多个俘虏，在一个中国社交平台上可以看到，这里都没有那个视频里面很多俘虏受伤🤕，有给他们包扎。中国是团长冲在最前面阻挡印度士兵向前，这个视频里可以看到，他是幸运的活了下来，是我们的英雄。而印度由于种姓制度影响，士兵冲在前面。2020年那次印度死的士兵很多都是被打进加勒万河里冻死的。

这视频代表了大多数老外的观点，凡是争议领土全都不算中国的。国际法出来之前，南海就是中国的，一个后出的法律有什么资格划定中国的领土？麦克马洪线也是一样，一个英国人有什么资格单方面把中国领土划给印度？中国主张南海领土就是侵略东南亚，印度往中国藏南迁移人口就不是侵略，你们白皮双标一直可以的。
This video represents the view of most foreigners that any disputed territory is not considered China. Before the emergence of international law, the South China Sea belonged to China. What qualifications does a later law have to delineate China's territory? The McMahon Line is the same. What qualifications does a British person have to unilaterally cede Chinese territory to India? China's claim that the territory in the South China Sea is an invasion of Southeast Asia, and India's migration of population to southern Tibet is not an invasion. White skin's double standards have always been acceptable.🤣
你理他们干嘛？就笑笑就好了，当笑话听了。
再怎么讨厌中共，也绝对不会傻到说要放弃中国的领土。
别的地区我不了解，但是九段线确实争议非常大，而且新的第十段把台湾画进去也是挺搞笑的，中共的权利根本管不了那个地方（至少中共建立至今是如此）
국제법이 출현하기 전에 소위 말하는 남중국해가 중국 영토였다는 역사적 증거가 빈약하다고 국제사법재판소에서 판시된 바 있습니다. 중국이 재판정에서 한 주장은 과거 중국 어부들이 해당 해역 내에서 어로활동을 했다는 것이 주장인데, 그것이 대체 어떻게 영해 주장의 근거가 되나요? 역사적으로도 국제법적으로도 중국의 9단선 주장은 상식적이지 못합니다.

11:11 - Yes! Please do a video about this specific border. It will be another great video! Thanks for posting awesome encyclopaedic educational videos! One of the best channels on RUclips!
First thing first, It is the people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits who have the say on China, not any other bombastic speakers. It is an unresolved political issue, but within China(by China, we mean not only the political power PRC, but a rather broader sense of " China") If you have no idea, please refer to the "1992 Consensus". Besides, we've never given up claiming sovereignty of these lands on the border. why should the British nor the American who has always been an aggressive colonist have any say on our country?
Definitely do a video on the border fence 😊
Perfect video for my dinner. What I always look forward to from Johnny Harris' content is about borders and maps. Thank you! I hope there is new content like this once a month
@johnnyharris you should definitely do an ep on your process of picking through maps. It’s fascinating how you process them to overlay and study
Please do the video on the border between china and Myanmar! It will bring some attention to the war going on there.
Saying India's only claim to land is "some British representative drew a line" undermines the historical and cultural claim they have to that land. 9:57
@2plus2equals98
Yes, even in legends & mythology. The cultural bonds are too deep.
We are a two weeks away from the coming Diwali (Deepavali, meaning an array of lights). The legend (mythology) is this.
The region around River Brahmaputra was known as Prag`jyotisha pura (Eastern Zodiacal town) ruled by a demons king, Naraka. Lord Krishna to subdue him & release the people from his tyranny went there riding his mount, the eagle "Garuda" (now the mascot of Indonesian Airways). His favourite wife "Sathya" said she'd accompany him. So, the couple went & engaged in a battle with Naraka`asura, who was well-protected by the forces of nature. After a while Krishna was hit by an arrow that made him unconscious. Then a furious Sathya took the bow & shot a row of arrows that killed Naraka`asura. Then Krishna was revived. It could be that Naraka`asura gazing at Sathya, he has forgotten about the battle he was engaged in. The killing of Naraka`asura is observed a day before Diwali, with fire-crackers & such explosions to signify the war. He freed sixteen thousand & odd young "dames" the dead king imprisoned. Krishna told them to go to their respective families. But the crowd of young girls raised a cry & said "we're not going home". Krishna asked "why?". They said they wouldn't be accepted by their parents, being prisoners of someone & that they didn't accept. It is a matter of their honour or chastity. There was an argument. Finally, the girls pointed a way out that would restore their esteem (or respect). They wanted Krishna (who has 8 wives) to marry them all, as that would also enhance their status of Krishna's wives that the people would respect. Krishna did that & returned home to Dwaraka, some 2000 km to the west. Flippant & even lewd comments are made on this act of Krishna without realising the honour that was restored to the girls. Even now Krishna cult is predominant in Brahmaputra valley & in Manipur (Jewel city) predominantly .
Another character, the main hero in Maha`Bharata war, Arjuna (comparable to Ulysses in Greek mythology) committed a small mistake & as penance had to leave home (& his four brothers). He came to Manipur & the princess there, Ulupi fell in love with him & married. A son was born to them, even. After the stipulated time Arjuna returned home. The war started soon after.
so the Indian claim is a myth?
That line still was agreed between Tibet and India tho, meaning it's legit, who cares if Tibet is controlled by China now? If borders stopped existing just because it got taken over by another country then we should redraw a lot of borders
@@stevenwu2055it’s not a myth. It’s written in one of the most known poem within the eastern hemisphere which also happens to be the longest. It’s symbolic to the time and history when events occurred in the lands we know today. Some places have had their names changed but the book outdates any of the new ones.
It's very very generalised. North-East region is generalised as a single whole, when it is not that way historically. Far from it. Even Arunachal Pradesh itself has different regions with different historical narratives, some associated with India(mainly the plains of current Northern Assam), but many if not most are not. The northwestern corner has historical ties with Tibet, that is what the media likes to focus on mostly, but that's only a corner of Arunachal Pradesh. In fact, most of the population reside on the inner central+eastern regions, which were independent and self-governed prior to British entry(often forcibly). Similarly, association with the Kirat very vague; they could have been Nepal, they could have been Bhutan, they could have been any Himalayan mountain dwelling group. That didn't provide the India the authority over it. I mean that in the nicest of ways.
The true fact remains none of Tibet, China, or British India had a full control over the region initially. It was mostly independent. Tibet had trade ties, but was never in political control of the current whole region. British India made the first move to politically capture the land, they agreed the boundary with Tibet in a treaty which China pulled out of; British India marched ahead regardless of China's withdrawal. And hence the current mess.

I’m kinda of sick and tired of governments fighting over “disputed” territories. If we were to carry on with this sort of thing. We all have territory that we can historically “claim”
China illegally occupied those territories. Its called expansionism. China has a fever dream of Imperialism while being an incompetent power.
The world didn’t have borders when it was created. Us humans created the borders, to mark their territory but it was never their territory to begin with! Nothing has changed and we continue to fight over it
This shows just how civilised and advanced we are as a whole
@@Ryan-fq9dj so you want there to be no borders? That'll surely not cause chaos and a lot of death

your values tell you to stop fighting. other people’s values tell them to seize the moment. it’s the tortoise and the hare.
It's surprising to see the content states casualties on the Indian side and Chinese side as of they are mere statistic. The Chinese side did loose 35-40 soldiers, which also was rugged off. Although the content is about map, these critical points should not be sidelined
The funniest part of China saying this all about maps being so important and that they must be right is that they don’t allow any maps to be made by companies outside of China so if you ever use google maps or anything to try to find your way around in China you’ll find that basically everything is wrong because it is all scrambled.
I think you’re wrong about this. Are you saying that China has to use maps made by Western countries, and that only Western products are right? I’ve done some research on the history. China and the US drew the nine-dash line when the neighboring countries didn’t even exist, and they later reduced it because it was unfair. China was very weak back then. The US has been trying to stop China and Russia from growing, and wanted to break up China like they did with the Soviet Union. But as China’s military power increased, China refused to accept being surrounded and humiliated, and started to take back the original borders. If there’s a dispute, they can argue it at the UN. You can’t just say that these countries own the coastline because they’re close to it. When China divided the coastline, these countries were still tribes.
@@vonB-kw4th I legitimately didn’t talk about any of that at all, so I don’t know what you’re even really talking about. It was even mentioned in the video that for security reasons Chinese companies scramble exact locations of things. Western based companies aren’t allowed to make exact maps of China and are forced to rely the ones China gives them. It’s a common fact that they do this. Now on to the random thing you brought up, there are countless instances in history of countries deciding and making territorial claims on their own or with just a small selection of other countries and those claims even though historical almost never hold up today. I haven’t done any research on this, but I can tell you that even if what you said is true which I doubt is true because there have been people living in all of these areas for long before the US was even a country. Even if you think this is wrong can you not see how incredibly hostile. China has been to their neighbors and how even after gaining more and more land they still push to get just a little bit more? I believe the UN should actually be much harsher on how it is able to treat countries that do things like this like Russia as well. It is clear that these countries and governments and leaders that have no qualms with taking land by almost any means necessary just because of “historical” claim (which we all know is just an excuse as it has been for many countries trying to expand their borders in history). The nine dash like in and of itself is completely incoherent with UN laws on claims on territorial waters. These rules are already stretched thin in the area as was also stated in the video with the drawing of various countries territorial water claims and how they all overlap. The fact is that China keeps changing their claims and exerting influence where they don’t belong in an effort to gain more control and that cannot be denied if you do any legitimate research.
@@Sitskier123 Isn't it normal for China not to recognize maps made by Western countries? Isn't that common knowledge? Would the U.S. allow China to create maps of America, marking Alaska or Hawaii as separate countries? Japan wouldn't permit China to mark Okinawa as the Ryukyu Kingdom on its maps, right? Everyone knows the U.S. expects the world to serve its interests and doesn't allow other countries to share the stage. Their tactic is to divide nations and interfere in their internal affairs. In today's world, only China and Russia possess this capability, with China being the most prominent. It's among the few countries not controlled by U.S. military presence in its territories. Countries hosting U.S. troops are hardly sovereign; they merely cater to U.S. interests. As for China's territorial waters, every nation claims its version based on historical evidence, right? It's not about trusting just China or other countries; it's about considering all evidence and letting nations worldwide vote or decide. Look at Israel and Palestine today; Israel labels Palestine as a terrorist organization, while Palestine claims Israel has occupied its land for decades and they're forced to retaliate. But power often dictates authority, even when everyone knows the truth. Lastly, why does the West overlook their own country's expansion and suppression of other nations' survival conditions while pointing fingers at others? Isn't that like saying 'I can insult or hit you, but you can't'? Do you understand what I'm saying? The West often holds double standards. What can small nations do apart from fearing the dominance of larger powers?

The border between China and Myanmar has always been in a dangerous zone, and the danger from Myanmar has always been greater than that from China. The construction of border walls is to protect each other. Peace and security are what each other hopes for. The construction of border walls is also out of helplessness.

If US can install military facilities all around the world like in Iraq or Syria, why should not China or Russia?
china is just doing what every country would do if they have enough power, and USA already have done it, usa's miltary bases surround the entire east coast line of china, no one is critizing USA since no one could. China was a global superpower back in 1700s to early 1800s so its understandable if you are talking about history.
You should do a deeper dive into the recent conflicts that happened around Doklam. A major military stand-off was avoided by diplomatic channels and India was able to regain the Plateau.

11:52 - The Permanent Court of Arbitration is not a UN court. It's basically a NGO that some special interest groups pulled together. USA does not abide by its rulings. What makes you think any country has any legal obligation to abide by its ruling - the court has no jurisdiction whatsoever.
