sorry man i'm not working on comparative history projects... yet. So far, I think most people understand that Chinese mainly focus on Chinese history which has also become full of Western revisionism. When you see such articles presenting evidence against the distortions, maybe it is government-linked, maybe it isn't, but remember that there are definitely patriotic (or sympathetic non-citizen) humanities majors working on it.

As for Romans and China, the comparison is like apples to oranges haha, the Romans were primarily a war machine, i.e. very high iron production, large standing armies, but fueled by distributing conquered farmlands to soldiers and selling captured slaves. And the early Empire (until 284AD) was governed jointly by the emperor and the Senate aristocrats, the former governing the outer provinces and the latter the inner provinces. The moment the empire could not find anymore easy conquests (Dacia, Germania and Parthia either being too united or too inaccessible) which you see happening around 180AD, the whole empire came crumbling (235AD) and the legions and the Senate began elevating their own emperors, with the last one standing getting to pillage the rest. Emperors destroyed the economy raising taxes and debasing the currency to pay off the army. After that date every emperor except Aurelian and Constantine had to divide the empire into parts for different emperors to rule, or face civil war.

Han China in contrast was a civil state that succeeded in creating a powerful central government. War with the Xiongnu, open steppe warfare, depended on horse not iron/manpower supply. It was only winnable through co-opting some of the horse tribes by providing generous financial and material benefits, while preventing the Chanyu from co-opting Han vassal kings to cut off his grain/silk supply. All these processes need political consolidation at a level unknown in Rome which never had a clear system of succession and heavily relied on the emperor's personal presence for many aspects of justice and warfare.

I thought either Han Dynasty or one of the earlier ones actually invented blast furnaces and that Chinese iron and steel were superior to anything Europeans could produce until around 1000 AD from just pieces of random research here and there?

Qin Dynasty metallurgy technology can be gleaned from this recent research into the "Chinese Purple" color on the terra cotta warriors. It reveals that the Qin had mastered how to keep the furnace at around 1000 degrees Celsius for 10-24 hours!


The actual research with SLAC's SEM is here:

Another thing about white history is that colonists in North America struggled against natives well until industrial age. It is not like "white man technology gun beats spear" like it is British maxim gun vs Zulu. Musket was not very effective without being fielded in large formation, and ineffective in harsh terrain. Bow and arrow had better accuracy and rate of fire. Bow simply needs more training.

In short the early success of colonists were due to exploiting infighting among natives, not technology advantages.

For the Native Americans/Indigenous history it's even worse and the propaganda and bullshit history is far more insidious and malicious.

White westerners constantly acted like DA NEw W0RLd was this untamed land with scattered barbarian savage natives who never got past hunter-gatherer Neanderthal levels of technology, but the truth is that the entire Americas both North and South and also Central had numerous flourishing and quite advanced civilizations numbering in easily in the tens if not hundreds of millions. Basically, even the worst predictions would have their populattions flourishing at the same numbers or about the same numbers as Europeans. Likely more because the continents of either Americas are absolutely massive compared to Euorpe (excluding Russia of course since they wanna call the Russians ORKSSSSS).

There is one notable example of an indigenous city that was literally CARVED into the mountains and caves of pure rock and stone in the American Southwest. It's one of those red hot desert rocky places. Anasazi I believe.

This level of engineering is far more impressive than almost anything europe produced until industrialization since these guys built all of this with no metallury basically and they didn't have horses for labor either.

Similarly, other Mesoamerican civilizations had incredible surgery and medical practices using only obsidian tools. Tools whose edge was so sharp that they are basically not even beaten by today's technology except for extremely high quality medical grade surgerical or industrial tools. Not to mention that mesoamerican math, astronomy, and their calendar was better than Europeans by a long shot until industrialization once again. Actually the mesoamerican calendar pretty much still beat everybody else's in the whole world right up until modern science came around. And even then we were basically just proving with physical evidence what they already knew centuries if not thousands of years ago.

White westerners also act like they had such superior military prowess against them when the truth is that westerners spreading their filthy disgusting diseases and germs and shit all over the place was pretty much the number one reason why the indigenous could never organize a proper resistance. Along with poisoning them alcohol (I still consider the closest the west to have ever come to destroying China was using Opium as a weapon), and also almost rendering buffalo extinct...which is akin to starving the indigenous to death since that was both their primary source of food and also their entire culture revolved around buffalo/bison so much.

UN authorizes Haiti security mission to fight gangs​

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 2 (Reuters) - The United Nations Security Council on Monday authorized a foreign security mission to Haiti, a year after the Caribbean country asked for help to fight violent gangs that have largely overrun its capital Port-au-Prince.

"More than just a simple vote, this is in fact an expression of solidarity with a population in distress," Haiti's Foreign Minister Jean Victor Geneus told the council. "It's a glimmer of hope for the people that have for too long been suffering."

The 15-member council adopted a resolution, drafted by the United States and Ecuador, that authorizes the so-called Multinational Security Support mission "to take all necessary measures" - code for use of force.

China and Russia abstained from the vote, wary of authorizing the blanket use of force under Chapter 7 of the founding U.N. Charter. The remaining 13 members voted in favor.

QUESTION: On Russia and China and North Korea, the foreign ministers of North Korea and the Russians will meet in Pyongyang this month, and there is a summit meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Russian President Putin in Beijing this month. What impact do you think the solidarity between Russia and China and North Korea will have on South Korea, U.S., and Japan?
MR MILLER: So, I would say that – there’s kind of a lot to unpack in that question. But as it pertains to China, one of the things that we have urged in our conversations with Chinese officials, something that Secretary Blinken urged and other officials have urged, is that China is uniquely positioned to use its influence with the DPRK to urge the DPRK to take de-escalatory steps, to urge the DPRK to return to diplomacy – all steps we, of course, do not see the DPRK as willing to take. But we will continue to encourage them to use that influence to the – any degree that is possible and that they are willing to do.
