China has a long history comprised of several dynasties throughout time. Scattered throughout Chinese rule are foreign conquerors that lead China into prosperity. Peasant rebel revolts, as well as a series of famines that struck China during the early seventeenth century, left the system of government vulnerable. After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty in 1644, Manchu people flooded south into China from their Manchuria homeland of the north and proclaimed a new, “pure” reign of power known as…

Freedom and safety are two luxuries humans value immensely. Of the two, Freedom is more important than safety. Tiananmen Square, “The Hunger games” and The Ukrainian Revolution validate why is it better to be free than safe. Tiananmen Square was an event that happened June of 1989 in Beijing, China. Students gathered at Tiananmen Square to mourn the death of Hu Yaobang and to protest an array of problems such as political corruption and the lack of civil liberties. Because the people of China…

Both Man’s Fate and Beginning of the Great Revival start off very similar. Both the novel and the film begin with an assassination that shortly starts a revolution. Both also focus mainly on the rise of the communist in their country and their division with the capitalist. Also both focus on the people coming together to face the inequity they are having to deal with. I believe both the novel and the film are biased towards communism. Malraux fought for the rights of communism in Spain and the…

In the early 1990’s an enigmatic movement called Falungong began in mainland China and took it by storm. Its unexpected popularity took most off guard but that rapid growth in public attention also came with the scrutiny of the Chinese communist party. The Chinese communist party labeled the Falungong movement as an illegal cult so in consideration of that it became unlawful for anyone to practice Falungong. Militarized policing persecuted all of those who remained loyal to the movement. The…

During the period, 1925 to 1950, Japan invaded China and occupied large parts of it until Japan’s defeat in WW2. The Chinese Communist Party established the People’s Republic of China.

In this time period, the Japanese peasant class fought for nationalistic…

Within the People’s Republic of China, Chairman Mao Zedong during the latter years of his reign, mid-1960’s to mid-1970’s, implemented a series of reforms that attempted to further guide China towards a socialist society vis-à-vis a communist society. These reforms that Mao implemented were in regards to the increase corruption found within local leadership and underdevelopment found within villages, for example: Chen Village. Chen Village, a village within the People’s Republic of China,…

China has been running the world's largest and most successful eugenics program for more than thirty years, driving China's ever-faster rise as the global superpower. I worry that this poses some existential threat to Western civilization. Yet the most likely result is that America and Europe linger around a few hundred more years as also-rans on the world-historical stage, nursing our anti-hereditarian political correctness to the bitter end. When I learned about Chinese eugenics this summer, I…

Although quiet similar to the divine right rule, there are some factors which distinguish the Mandate of Heaven from the divine rights rule. It mainly differed on these key factors: • Unlike Christianity, which is monotheistic Chinese religion, is polytheistic.

For this reason the Mandate of Heaven was granted by a supernatural community and not just a…
