  • BlueJay Rates: China! This is the first video of a side series where I take a subject, analyze it, and give a final rating on a 10 star scale. China is a very culturally rich and fascinating civilization that has been around for centuries. While this video is heavily satirical, the actual story behind the nation is fascinating and I highly suggest looking into it further. If you enjoyed please share! If this video does well, I'll make more of these kind of videos!

    Not so fun fact, China wiped out most of their sparrows during the great famine, believing that Sparrows were destroying farmers crops. In reality the sparrows were eating all pests who were destroying those same crops. The almost total extinction of the sparrows lead to a rise in pests and a lack of crops being grown causing the famine to grow larger.

      ​@@BlueJayYT Hi, do you unironically believe anyone in China claims that "nothing unusual happened" or that it's somehow a taboo subject? Please actually put effort into researching China, then. In general, your ideas about China seem to be based on literal anti-communist propaganda from the West and not, you know, actual facts and knowledge as established by historians and other academics. If you get your ideas about China from American/capitalist sources, you might not get very far. Although, hey, I'm sure you get your ideas about other countries' history from their enemies known to lie about them, too. After all, no better way to study Jewish history than by listening to Third Reich scholars!

They have good business, they pioneer in a lot of technologies. While an economy may take a dive, that economy can always be brought back up. So no I can’t believe that the People’s Republic of China is gonna collapse in our time.

    During the cultural revolution, my grandparents who were both university researchers were sent with all their directly related family members to a production camp. At lunch time, they had to bow on a high stage, along other academic researchers, to a room of factory workers (people who never received education) while those people eat first. The people bowing on stage could only go eat after the workers finished. My mom who was a young child at the time, would have to witness that everyday for years while she waited for her parents to come down the stairs to eat.

    I’m surprised that you didn’t mention how the CCP spent virtually the entire WW2 avoiding combat. They just kept collecting weapons from the USSR and training their troops.
    That’s why they were able to basically walk right over the Chinese Nationalists as soon as WW2 was over. While the Nationalists were fight, they were watching, training and planning.

The reason that communism and socialism have repeatedly failed miserably throughout history is that every time they've been implemented, it's been done under the premise of getting the populace to accept a dictatorship. Remove the position of power at the top (no singular "leader" or insular group acting as a combined dictator), and the concepts of equity and equality come into much better focus.

    You forgot the best part of the great leap forward. Mao ordered to hunted all pigeons because he though they eat farmers' rice. But the fact is pigeons don't eat only rice, they eat other insect like locust too. The loss of rice from pigeons is too small compare to other problem like locust, but Mao was soldier not scientist or farmer. Then, people started hunting pigeons untill they're almost extinct. After there weren't hunter, "it's free real estate"locust. Combine to stupid order that force farmers made forges and melt their tool to make low quality ingot. The famine spreaded. To solve this happen, they had to import pigeons to fight locust. And many low quality factories cause air polution problems till today(Some factories still operate since Mao reign, CCP tried to change those old power plants but it's too hard).

      You also forgot the part where the "famine" (food-shortage) happened during three years of the PRC 2nd five-year economic plan. The first five-year economic plan was so successful at increasing food production, PRC was overconfident in the second one. However, since then, there was no major screw-up like that. They learn to build really impressive infrastructures to deal with floods and droughts.
      Not to mention there was a worldwide trade embargo on PRC, so that means restricted access to loans, food import, fertilizers, and farming equipment since the Korean War. That trade embargo lasted until 1972 after Nixon visited China.

    the stuff around 5:30 is incorrect I'm pretty sure... the plan was to make farming produce enough that some farmers could be sent to work on industrialization instead. Mau was lied to by officials in the first years of the plan, who told him they had lots of crops because they wanted to look good, so he diverted even more farmers to industrialization because by the information he was going off of they had plenty of extra food. And the backyard furnaces weren't part of the plan - the people just started doing that on their own and melting down their steel tools because they supported the movement so much, even though the steel it produced was crap that was unusable and they were told to stop.
