中国如何成为超级大国？

@andrewlai9472
Dr. Sowell, i am Chinese from Sri Lanka. My father came from the North from Shandong. He ran away at the age of 20 due to poverty and Japanese occupation there in 1936 to Ceylon, present day Sri Lanka. He was textile fabric peddler on a bicycle and had no education.
However he gave us the greatest wealth by sending us to yhe best Christian schools in Sri Lanka. I and two siblings studied in Oklahoma and Boston MA. Today my family is in the United States (3) Although I did graduate Economics from Northeastern University i returned to Sri Lanka after working and living in 6 countries. Listening to your analysis i agree to the current status of the Chinese. We were discriminated. We lived half ourlives without citizenship from the country we were born, so we opted to educate and live overseas. The Chinese have suffered but eventually have done well globally. Thank you for your article.

Sowell博士，我是来自斯里兰卡的中国人，我的父亲来自北方的山东。1936年，他因贫困和日本的占领而在20岁时离开家乡，来到锡兰（今斯里兰卡）。他骑着自行车兜售纺织品，他没有受过任何教育。
然而，他把我们送进了斯里兰卡最好的基督教学校，给了我们最大的财富。我和两个兄弟姐妹曾在俄克拉荷马州和马萨诸塞州的波士顿学习。如今，我的家人都在美国。虽然我从东北大学经济学专业毕业，但我在6个国家工作和生活过后又回到了斯里兰卡。听了您的分析，我同意华人的现状，我们受到了歧视，我们的前半生都没有出生国的公民身份，因此我们选择在海外接受教育和生活。华人遭受了很多苦难，但最终在全球范围内取得了不错的成绩。 感谢您的视频。

You life experience made me cry and I am so proud of your father and the achievement of your family members.
Have a blessed day ️

你的人生经历让我潸然泪下，我为你的父亲和你的家人的成就感到骄傲。

@ponuni
Chinese people do well everywhere because they are willing to work long hours and save a lot of their money. On top of that they prioritize education for their kids.

中国人在所有地方都做得很棒，因为他们愿意长时间工作并能省下很多钱。除此之外，他们还把孩子的教育放在首位。

@quyenluong3705
And they don’t interfere with local politics. But the local politics often marginalize them for their hard work.

他们不干涉地方政治，但地方政治往往会因为他们的辛勤工作而排挤他们。

China is so difficult for the Westerners to understand, including the author of this video.
Chinese people? There is no such thing as Chinese people.
Chinese is a civilization, not a people. You cannot define the Chinese people. But you can certainly define their civilization. It is dynamic. It is an over 5,000 year old continuous human development still in progress. It is called the Chinese.
Its people come and go. But the Chinese civilization continues to this day.

西方人很难理解中国，包括这段视频的作者。
中国人？根本就没有什么中国人。
中国是一种文明，而不是一个民族。你无法定义中国人，但你一定可以定义他们的文明。它是动态的，它是一个有五千多年历史的、仍在不断发展的人类文明，它被称为"中国人"。
它的人民来来去去，但中华文明延续至今。

@user-xl1wr9wm4f
Chinese are hard working, determined, innovative & persevering. Entrepreneurship is in their genes.

中国人勤劳、坚定、创新、坚忍不拔，创业是他们的基因。

@AnhNguyen-hn9vj
they are good with trading pretty wealthy since the old days thousand of years.

他们善于交易，自古以来就相当富有。

@nghtwtchmn129
The Chinese have even prospered in one of the poorest places in the United States-the Mississippi Delta. Originally imported as farm laborers in the 19th Century, they soon saved up enough money to open their own grocery stores.

中国人甚至在美国最贫穷的地方之一--密西西比三角洲--也发展的很好。他们最初是在19世纪作为农场劳工被引进的，但他们很快就攒够了钱并开起了自己的杂货店。

@user-kf8wb2cq4f
It's refreshing and liberating to hear the Truth and not Politically Correct gibberish.

听到真相而不是政治正确的胡言乱语，真是让人耳目一新，倍感解放。

@ahkoy973
The ability of the Chinese to endure hardship and overcome poverty to become successful and wealthy is incomparable.
The progress and development of China in the last 40 years is a prime example

中国人吃苦耐劳、脱贫致富的能力是无与伦比的。
中国过去40年的进步和发展就是最好的例子。

@somaliano99kingkonghimself75
I never knew this history about Chinese people in the west this is eye opening sir Thomas Sowell i have now more respect for Chinese people i love there food there movies

我从来不知道中国人在西方的这段历史，Thomas Sowell先生让我大开眼界，我现在更加尊重中国人了，我喜欢他们的食物和电影。

@misubi
As a Chinese American I really appreciate his line about Chinese not being Jews of the East but Jews being "Chinese of the West"

作为一个美籍华人，我非常欣赏他的那句话：中国人不是东方的犹太人，而犹太人是"西方的中国人"。

@BGTuyau
These recorded excerpts from Thomas Sowell's writings are illuminating on a variety socioeconomic matters and a great educational asset on YouTube.

这些Thomas Sowell著作的录音摘录对各种社会经济问题都很有启发性，是油管上很好的教育资产。

@limitlesssky3050
Extremely accurate assessment of modern Chinese. No biases and very detailed, I think most Chinese don't even know this.

你对现代中国人的评估非常准确。没有偏见，非常详细，我想大多数中国人都不知道这些。

@Bhatmann
A darker side of Chinese immigration for example can be found in Manila Philippines.
Long ago Chinese immigrated to Manila did their thing combining land with labor (econ 101) creating wealth. However the local population became jealous with rage and envy would riot, burn Chinatown to the ground, robbing and looting until there was nothing left.
Ironically as time would pass, and memories fade, the whole holocaust would repeat itself over and over again and again.
I read this in an old book about 40 years ago. I am reminded of this history whenever I hear Filipinos boasting about Manila having the oldest Chinatown. It’s much older than they even know. LOL

例如，在菲律宾马尼拉就可以看到中国移民（遭遇）的黑暗面。
很久以前，中国人移民到马尼拉，他们把土地和劳动力结合起来（经济学原理）并创造了财富。然而，当地人却心生嫉妒并愤而暴动，他们烧毁唐人街，抢劫和掠夺了中国人的财产，直到一切都荡然无存。
具有讽刺意味的是随着时间的流逝和记忆的消退，类似的大屠杀一次又一次地重演。
大约40年前，我在一本旧书中读到过这段历史。每当听到菲律宾人吹嘘马尼拉拥有最古老的唐人街时，我就会想起这段历史，那里的唐人街比他们知道的还要古老得多。

@johnl.7754
Same thing happened in Indonesia but partly different reasons

同样的事情也发生在印度尼西亚，但部分原因有所不同。

@merrick6484
Anti-Chinese concept depends on two factors, the strength of Chinese Diaspora in foreign land and Mother China herself.
After WW2, Mother China were at her weakest time and doesn‘t have the power to do anything.
But not anymore.

反华观念取决于两个因素，一是海外华人的力量，二是中国自己。
二战后，中国处于最虚弱的时期，它没有力量做任何事情。
但现在不是了。

@Bhatmann
"hundred years of national disgrace" is a term used among the Sinosphere to describe the period in Chinese history beginning with the First Opium War (1839–1842), and ending in 1945 with China (then the Republic of China) emerging out of the Second World War as one of the Big Four and established as a permanent member ...

"百年国耻"是中华圈的一个术语，用来描述中国历史上从第一次鸦片战争（1839-1842年）开始，到1945年中国（当时的中华民国）从第二次世界大战中脱颖而出，成为四大国之一并被确立为常任理事国为止的一段历史。

Even young Chinese children were not spared by filipinos in their murders, sexual assaults, and tortures when they rioted.
And with the rising tension in the south China sea plus with the poor economic situation that most of the filipino population find themselves in, it might happen again soon.

即使是年幼的华人儿童也未能幸免于菲律宾人的谋杀、性侵和暴乱时的折磨。
随着南海紧张局势的加剧，再加上大多数菲律宾人经济状况不佳，这种情况可能很快会再次发生。

@joeyp1927
The 'disintegration' that Sowell speaks of between 1842 and 1885 had to do with British, then French colonization starting with the Opium Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1860) which themselves generated great upheaval but also resulted in increased and sustained influx of illicit drugs into the country, namely opium, which destroyed the society. Sowell otherwise provides a good analysis of Chinese society; not sure why he omits these factors - colonization, foreign intervention, and illicit drugs - and simply mentions swift 'disintegration' over four decades like it just happened randomly.

Sowell所说的1842年至1885年间的"瓦解"与从鸦片战争（1839-1842年和1856-1860年）开始的英国和法国的殖民统治有关。鸦片战争本身引发了巨大的动荡，也导致非法毒品（即鸦片）持续流入该国并对社会造成了巨大的破坏。Sowell在其他方面对中国社会进行了很好的分析；不知道为什么他忽略了这些因素--殖民化、外国干预和非法毒品--而只是简单地提到了四十年间的迅速"瓦解"，就好像这只是偶然发生的一样。

@richardtan6799
Taiping Rebellion was a much bigger factor in China's decline.

太平天国运动是中国衰落的一个更大的因素。

@joeyp1927
@richardtan6799 These large uprisings occur in the context of economic and social decline precipitated by powerful external forces like colonization, war and drug (opium) addiction. This is because they require large numbers of disaffected, often desperate citizens who have lost nearly everything - and so they perceive they have everything to gain from rebelling.

@richardtan6799 这些大规模起义发生在经济和社会衰落的背景下，而殖民化、战争和吸毒（鸦片）等强大的外部力量则是这些起义的催化剂。这是因为这些起义需要大量心怀不满、往往绝望的公民，他们几乎失去了一切，因此他们认为起义能让他们获得一切。

@yapyapyap2805
Nothing to compare with the European which is less than 10%of the total world population, but they have and are still occupying more than 80% of the planet Earth and Seas. Wow that's awesome!

欧洲人还不到世界总人口的10%，但他们已经并仍在占据地球和海洋80%以上的面积。哇，这真是太厉害了！

@susan56566
Omg. Have you given any thought to the indigenous peoples of north America and Australia ?

我的天啊，你考虑过北美和澳大利亚的原住民吗？

@xiwang9560
Chinese people have been mostly living in a centralized and unified country since 221BC.
This historical fact gives us a very different point of view about the world.

自公元前221年以来，中国人基本上都生活在一个中央集权统一的国家里。
这一史实让我们对世界有了截然不同的看法。

@kensliye94
I always say that East Asians should be the perfect example for us black people to follow (especially Japanese discipline-based culture), but I guess for a lot of usits easier to keep blaming others than being accountable once for all.

我常说东亚人应该是我们黑人学习的完美榜样（尤其是日本以纪律为基础的文化），但我想对我们很多人来说，一味地责怪别人比一劳永逸地承担责任要容易得多。

@0animalproductworld558
The West even with Christianity and all the blessings was still behind China until the ~1800. That is marvelous. God gave the West a lot of discoverers such as Isaac Newton, Faraday, Volta, and so many more because the West needed a lot of helps because they were lost. God corrects and disciplines the Chinese like a wise, old, grown up, and mature parent. Chinese are naive and innocent that they don’t even know when they are manipulated.

即使有了基督教和所有的祝福，西方在大约1800年之前仍然落后于中国，这太不可思议了。上帝给了西方很多发现者，如牛顿、法拉第、伏尔泰等，因为西方需要很多帮助，因为他们迷失了方向。上帝就像一位睿智、年长、成熟的父母一样纠正和管教中国人，因为中国人天真无邪，他们甚至不知道自己什么时候被操纵了。

@maryannebphillips9124
Mr. Sowell: thank you for your contributions.
You had an episode on the history of socialism and eugenics and stated that the Nazi Party adopted that GENOCIDE; but there is more.
All 4 of my grandparents and both parents lived in Poland when Germany invaded.
The Holocaust existed in the US and communal living areas were proposed by Democrats which are concentration camps. Abortion was a belief of Margaret Sanger along with birth control but was not supported by society. Sterilization was policy until 1981. Stricter immigration laws were demanded and many Jewish persons were denied entry.
The Democrats were appalled by the massive immigration of what they considered weeds and unfit to have children. They were disdained as poor and inferior.
Nazis began the terror by advocating for mercy killing and abortion, publicly declaring that children with disabilities be euthanized. That is the goal of the eugenics movement which Democrats named Progressive. Only the 15:19 most evil can refer to GENOCIDE as progressive.
Within the Nazi state, those with mental/physical ailments, criminals and elderly were euthanized and families informed of the deaths as a natural and not murder
All avenues of progressive eugenics are used including mercy killing, abortion /infanticide and environmentalism. Charles Lindbergh was a progressive, visiting Nazis several times and a dedicated environmentalist
Nazis are gone but Democrats remain and their agenda continues.

Sowell先生：感谢您的贡献。
您有一期节目介绍了社会主义和优生学的历史，并指出纳粹党采取了种族灭绝的做法；但还有更多信息如下。
德国入侵波兰时，我的祖父母和父母四人都住在波兰。
大屠杀在美国也存在，民主党人提出的公共生活区就是集中营。堕胎，同时还有节育是玛格丽特-桑格（Margaret Sanger）的信仰，但没有得到社会的支持。在1981年之前，绝育一直是美国的政策。人们要求制定更严格的移民法，许多犹太人被拒绝入境。
民主党人对大量的移民感到震惊，他们认为这些人是杂草，不适合生育，他们被蔑视为穷人和下等人。
纳粹分子通过倡导安乐死和堕胎开始了恐怖活动并公开宣布对残疾儿童实施安乐死，这就是民主党称之为“进步”的优生学运动的目标。只有15:19最邪恶的人才能把种族灭绝称为进步。
在纳粹国家内，那些患有精神/身体疾病的人、罪犯和老人都被安乐死并告知家属这是自然死亡而不是谋杀。
进步优生学的所有方法都被利用了，包括安乐死、堕胎/杀婴和环保主义。查尔斯-林德伯格是一位进步人士，曾多次访问纳粹，也是一位热心的环保主义者。
虽然纳粹走了，但民主党人还在，他们的议程还在继续。

@tecumsehneo2174
Thank you for posting this comment. I saw someone else post the following comment "In regard to domestic politics, commies and nazis hardly have much difference." Yet, at the 2020 Paralympics held in 2022 Tokyo, China had the most medals at 207 compared to 104 from the US. The facts would show that the *** government in China did not euthanize those with disabilities but nurtured them to be the best that they could be.

感谢您发表这条评论。我看到有人发表了如下评论："在国内政治方面，***和纳粹几乎没有什么区别"。然而，在2022年东京举行的2020年残奥会上，中国获得了207枚奖牌，是获得奖牌最多的国家，而美国只有104枚。事实表明中国***政府并没有让残疾人安乐死，而是培养他们成为了最好的自己。

@siamcharm7904
the i opium wars and the horrors inflicted by the imperialistic brits had a huge effect on development. wonder what will happen to Chinese americans if usa decides to invade asia.

第一次鸦片战争和英国帝国主义造成的恐怖对发展产生了巨大影响。我想知道如果美国决定入侵亚洲，华裔美国人会发生什么。

@sarahyip2825
Hah why does this feel like negative focus on Chinese much like antisemitism towards the Jewish diaspora. Right from the beginning words like "control" (banking and the economy), "billionaires", "minority population" to depict the ethnic Chinese citizens in their respective countries, seem like aiming towards whipping up existing sentiments of jealousies and what have you. Why single out the diaspora's billionaires when every ethnic group similarly has theirs including local elite Filipinos, Malays, Brazilians etc? Talk about obxtivity: something sorely missing in this AI generated piece! I doubt Thomas Sowell would touch on such an innane and mindless topic! I really doubt!

哈，这怎么感觉像是对中国人的负面关注，就像对散居海外的犹太人的反犹主义一样。从一开始就用"控制"（银行和经济）、"亿万富翁"、"少数民族人口"等词来描述各自国家的华裔公民，似乎是为了煽动现有的嫉妒情绪什么的。既然每个民族（包括菲律宾人、马来人、巴西人等当地精英）都有自己的亿万富翁，为什么单单挑出海外华人中的亿万富翁呢？说到客观性：这个人工智能生成的作品中缺少一些东西！我怀疑Thomas Sowell会触及这样一个愚蠢而盲目的话题！我真的很怀疑！

@frikandelkroket9335
Actually it’s positive imo. Chinese immigrants clearly stand out.

事实上，我认为这是积极的（叙事），因为中国移民显然脱颖而出。

@sarahyip2825
@frikandelkroket9335 There are different levels of reading taking into account the racial bullying that had happened. The use of words and phrasing already betray the intent, making the so called "positives" stick out like a sore thumb by NOT mentioning that local Indonesian elites for example are the real forces behind Indonesian Chinese-owned businesses. Going in deeper, who gets the bullying? Definitely not any of these billionaires and their associates but your ordinary hardworking Chinese citizens on the streets. Not a few lives were lost.

@frikandelkroket9335 考虑到所发生的种族欺凌，解读的层次是不同的。（这个视频）在用词和措辞上就已经暴露了其意图，它没有提及印尼当地的精英是印尼华资企业背后的真正力量，从而使所谓的"积极因素"显得格外突出。深究下去，谁受到了欺负？绝对不是这些亿万富翁和他们的同伙，而是在街头辛勤劳作的普通华裔公民，他们中有不少人丧生。

@TheJadedSkeptic
Maybe you are just projecting. If you know anything about Thomas Sowell, he is always very positive in regards to the Chinese people and culture. It is something he brings up as something positive for all to emulate.

也许你只是在推测。如果你了解托马斯-索维尔（Thomas Sowell），你会发现他对中国人民和中国文化的评价总是非常正面的。（视频里）是他提出的值得所有人效仿的积极因素。

@sarahyip2825
@TheJadedSkeptic The clip has this notice: "This excerpt is taken from the book Migration and Cultures". Anyone can extract any portion of a well discussed book and add his own slant or emphasis. The thoroughness and cutting observations that is classic Sowell does not come through—at least not the part on the "control" of the economy. The deeper reality of politics cum business wasnt addressed. A mention would have sufficed.

@TheJadedSkeptic 片段上有这样的提示："本节选摘自《移民与文化》一书。任何人都可以从一本讨论得很充分的书中摘录任何部分并添加自己的观点或重点。Sowell经典的透彻性和切中要害的观察并没有体现出来--至少关于"控制"经济的部分没有体现出来。政治兼商业的更深层次现实问题也没有得到解决。提一下就够了。

@lesterdiamonds27
Sowells main point is to show the failings of Black Americans. I imagine he’s comparing another minority in America.

Sowells的主要观点是展示美国黑人的失败，我猜他在拿美国的另一个少数族裔做比较。
