"China's 5,000-Year Civilization Is a Lie: The Truth Behind the CCP's
Greatest Myth
Is China really home to 5,000 years of unbroken civilization? Or is that
just a convenient political myth used by the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) to justify authoritarian rule?
In this video, we break down the historical lie that props up modern
China's regime. From the Warring States period to the Qin dynasty's book
burnings, from Mongol and Manchu occupation to the Cultural Revolution,
we uncover how real Chinese civilization — based on truth, debate, and
intellectual freedom — was killed and replaced by fear, obedience, and
cosplay.
What you'll learn:
Why "civilization" isn't just about history or artifacts — but values
How the Spring and Autumn and Warring States eras were more civilized
than imperial dynasties
What really happened during the Qin dynasty, and why it still echoes today
The truth about the Yuan and Qing dynasties as foreign occupations
How the Cultural Revolution destroyed China's philosophical and
spiritual legacy
Why the CCP dresses up in Confucian robes while silencing everything
Confucius taught
This is not just a history lesson. It's a takedown of propaganda. If
you've ever wondered whether modern China is the heir to an ancient
civilization — or just a dictatorship in a costume shop — this video is for
you.

Golden Age of Chinese thought was during the Warring States period, 2500
years ago.
Confucius, Lao Tzu & other philosophers flourished.
A ferment of intellectual debate.
Confucius was not the main one. He preached order, piety, obedience,
stability not freedom, everyone knowing their place.
During a time of civil war, this message was useful to restore order.
The first unified China dynasty, the Qin, adopted legalism not
Confucianism as its philosophy. It burned books and buried scholars alive.
Since then, most dynasties have been tyrannical, harsh on philosophers.
Mao's was especially harsh on original thinkers. But the CPP cannot
condemn him, or admit his death toll, without losing its own legitimacy.
The Han dynasty banned the hundred schools of philosophy and promoted
Confucianism alone. This was a political selection. Confucianism became
the basis of Chinese bureaucracy and education. the moral justification
for Imperial rule.
Confucianism gave the state legitimacy, and the state gave Confucanism
institutional protection.
In Confucianism rights don't exist; only duties and rules.
This was the nature of Chinese Civilization for the last 2000 years.
During the Cultural Revolution, Mao set out to destroy Confucianism and
free Chinese from its mental tyranny.
But Mao did not want to encourage further revolution against the CCP, so
Confucianism became a useful ideology once again, to legitimate the Red
dynasty.
Outside China, the CCP creates Confucius Institutes, and Confucianism is
taken to mean culture and freedom.
But inside China you have Marxism, which is control and repression.
This despite its current rebranding as Confucianism.
One regime, two ideologies: one internal, the other external.
