YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We cover a Chinese scholar breaking down the ways Western historians and ideologists superimpose their own pathologies onto both Chinese history and today's People's Republic of China. Often time's you'll hear that 'China is imperialist' or that the history that defines China's current borders can somehow be compared to Western colonialism and imperialism.

However historian Wu Qine illustrates how the highly syncretic, multi-ethnic, and ever-evolving history of Chinese civilization radically contrasts with the blanket aggression, chauvinistic racism and genocidal exterminationism that defines the history of the modern and liberal 'civilized West.'
