My dad, who lived through the Cultural Revolution, often said this about Mao: “Chiang only taught you how to fire a gun. Mao taught you how to fight with your spirit. This is why he (proverbially) won the civil war in the end.”

Mao was an incredible wartime leader, but he was a garbage peacetime leader.

Hong Kong never had democracy under British colonial rule. And in America, you can not become President without the backing of a very small group of billionaires.

I wonder if Xi can also hear this intense background music in his daily life.

As a Chinese, personally experienced the 45 years of China's development, after watching the segment of 20 minutes, finally understand the truth that three points of lies should be mixed with seven points of truth to brainwash, the art of rumor-making, we all communicate and learn more together.

@Fadzi2342

His policies aside, what Xi did to consolidate power is political play at one of its finest. From exiled to the top, he knew how to use the system to his advantage.

Learned a lot from this video. Now THIS is the kind of videos I subscribed to Vox for.

@TimeBucks

This episode was very informative

@pushyarareddy7484

A very well made video. The narration, animation, timelines and many other aspects have fit in so well with each other. Please make more of these : )

We've been laughing at China for the last 40 years. But it seems to me they're doing better and better every year. More and more Chinese students are willingly returning to their hometowns. They must be doing something right, bringing so many people out of poverty and putting their country on the world stage.

@0xRoozbehZarei

This episode was very informative. Thank you to all the people behind it.

@chasebemis1976

Fascinating focus on the consolidation of powers. I would be interested to follow up on this video with a deep dive in what is meant by "Xi Jinping Thought" as defined in the Third Resolution and the contrast between its theory of change, rhetorical tone, and consequences.

Inspiring video. You can also learn the act of making money. Madalina Loredana Andrei truly changed my life. Speaking from personal experience, if you're going through financial struggles or just want to improve your finances, you can trust Madalina. She's honest, reliable, and genuinely wants to help...

@foreignproduction5589

Chinese history is so fascinating. You've put a lot of information in there, surprised that you haven't included information about Russia and China and Mao's relation with Nikita Khrushchev. 
How all that affected Cultural Revolution and aftermath of the revolution, after all it was a huge contributing factor.

@mousmnwltr

Wow, this was a great history lesson. Thank you! More of these please.

@briankivuti

Thank you so much for this well presented piece! I loved the infographics 🌟

@shafaet1194

This guy single-handedly rose China from the ashes to a superpower gaining more prominence every day.

@alexmccauley503

Great informative piece.  Could have done with a bit more on the recent developments at the end, like Hu Jintao's soft purging (and his supporters).  China's politics is really an underreported affair in the west, glad you covered some of it.

@ChescoYT

Great piece Vox!!
Ty for educating us further

@graysonjd5624

This video is a great exercise in recognizing how writing and phrasing affects the viewer’s understanding of content, and how that can be used for manipulation and disinformation. Media literacy is important.

@Jiansu-o2n

Thanks for the video. Very informative. As a Chinese person I'm learning much from different perspective.

@had940

LOVE this video style. I hope you guys do more like this!!
