China’s “Century of Humiliation“ & US-Chinese Tensions Today w/Carl Zha

This is a long, but extremely informative explanation of China’s “Century of Humiliation“ and will leave no doubt in your mind as to why China wants a unified society and a powerful military. Historian Carl Zha of the Silk & Steel podcast joins me to talk about China’s “Century of Humiliation“ at the hands of Western powers and how it connects directly to US-Chinese tensions today. - How the US has repeatedly made treaties and agreements with China only to betray them when US interests demand; - The West’s historical use of Hong Kong and Taiwan as hubs to destabilize and dominate over the rest of China; - The historical use by the West of China for cheap labor and for markets to exploit; - The threat China faced for lacking a strong military and a unified population; - The clear motivations China has for a military and political system used to protect itself from further interference and exploitation; References: Carl Zha on Tw
