Why China Should Actually Be 7 Different Countries

توضیحات:

In this video I explore the controversial question: what would happen if China broke apart into several independent countries? Using ethnic maps, history, and geopolitics, I analyze regions like Xinjiang (East Turkestan), Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Manchuria, and South China to imagine a hypothetical breakup of China. I look at how Chinese imperial expansion under the Qing dynasty shaped modern borders, and how distinct cultures, religions, and identities across these regions could support independence movements. We dive into topics like ethnic minorities, cultural suppression, natural resources, and the 'One Country, Two Systems' model. 00:00 Is China Too Big? 00:20 China's Ethnic Map 00:50 Qing Imperial Expansion 01:30 Cultural Divisions 02:29 Our Method 02:43 The 7 Potential Countries 03:06 Xinjiang / Uyghuristan 04:42 Manta Sleep 06:14 A Free Tibet 08:01 A Greater Mongolia 09:33 A Hong Kong & Macau City State 10:48 Taiwan's Confirmation 11:12 Manchuria 11:59 Independent South China 13:07 Summary 13:22 Patreon Credits
