Why everyone’s mad about China’s new map 

Because China believes Taiwan belongs to it, China’s been preparing its military for the specific task of taking it over. It now has a strategy designed to overwhelm Taiwan before the US can intervene. Our new channel, Search Party, explains how Taiwan and the US are working to update their strategy before it's too late. WATCH NOW: https://youtu.be/2QmIZcTzMgM?si=ycANU38a5BR_DhWJ

At least Johnny and China have one similar obsession : Maps 😂

I’d love to hear more about the border fence between Myanmar and China.

What I want to say is that China's map has always been like this. You can carefully compare maps from previous years; it's just that this year it has been brought up by various media.

Interesting how the map of Israel changes all the time, yet nobody bats an eyelid. Also, the irony of JH being a US citizen and finding it eerie being so close to a country that's serious about exerting its power when no other country exerts its power more than any other nation as the US does.

Johnny's favorite topic (maps) combined with current geopolitical events... I would call this a win for the audience :)

The Russian island claim is very easy to explain: it's a test to see how Russia will respond. Russia has a lot of territory in Manchuria that it took from China during the century of humiliation. China wants it back. So they are testing Russia to see how strongly they can respond here and will use that info to determine how to push their other claims

I like the part that when china is in control of certain area you say "it's CONTROLLER by China", but when India is in control of certain area you say "It BELONGS to india"

So why is it legal for Britain to divide the Sino-Indian border?

Myanmar-China fence was built to mostly prevent drug trade in that region. During WW2, ROC sent troops to Myanmar to fight Japanese, but as KMT was defeated by the commies soon after WW2, some of KMT's land forces retreated into the forest in northern Myanmar. After KMT fled to Taiwan, it couldn't afford maintaining supply and logistics of this military presence in Myanmar, and (I might be wrong here) subsequently decommissioned these regiments. However, instead of letting them to surrender to PRC or bring them to Taiwan, they just left them in Myanmar. These militants became the local warlords and started to grow poppies to finance/support themselves. Note, these aren't from creditable sources because it's a dark history for both sides. The true stories are covered by both sides. Only rumors and tales told by people from that region.

⬇ people who wants the Myanmar/China border video!

According to your interpretation that the tenth dash line was added recently in this update. However, when I searched for maps published in 2019 and 2016, both maps already showed the tenth dash line next to Taiwan. Therefore it’s not a sudden change but a constant effort for Beijing to acclaim Taiwan as part of China.

First of all, it must be acknowledged that he has a strong storytelling ability. He always manages to appear very reasonable, and his animated editing is also very good. If you are not familiar with the topics he discusses, it's very easy to be deceived by him.

A dying empire is like a dying snake. still dangerous, but not for long.

I'm from the north-eastern region of India I think these assertion of dominance are concerning We people will never get along to those people We had disputes and what not This video should get viral here in India Rather than Indians focusing on the ongoing war on middle east This is my first time watching your videos And I'm hooked

Love the way you brought out some info in the video and hide other info. As you said, the Britans drew the line with India, and you gave it credit. However, the nine dash line also had a lot history behind it since 19 century till WW2, and you just covered it with "old hand-drew line". Again, about Senkaku island, you as a professional geopolitical youtuber, you should know the US interfered history behind it, which is not mentioned at all.

Please note that in the video, according to the boundaries defined by China, the people there are wearing the traditional costumes of Chinese ethnic minorities, not those of India or any other country. This strongly underscores a point.

I’d definitely love a video on that fence with Myanmar, I’d be super interested to see how it’s effecting peoples that have mingled and traded for years and now have to give that up for the sake of control.

Finally.. someone is talking about India's geographical issues with China and not just political or military or economic issues... Edit 1: It is a healthy discussion down here in the reply-section. Don't worry. We are safe from any virtual wars :)

Your video editing and designing skills are just amazing and very neat.
