Totalitarianism has very deep roots in Chinese history and the Chinese psyche.

The Chinese practically invented systematized and systematic totalitarianism millennia before it made an appearance in Europe.

Totalitarian ideologues Lord Shang and Han Fei-tzu were millennia ahead of their time in Chinese history and their ideologically totalitarian doctrines and principles practised by the short-lived but highly effective Ch'in Dynasty unified China under a central and centralized government. And China has been governed from the center ever since.

Mao Tse-tung greatly admired the Ch'in Dynasty and the Ch'in greatly influenced Maoist thought.

Willingly abiding by the rule of law is thoroughly foreign to the belligerent and bellicose Chinese. They can only be ordered and organized by force. The Chinese can only be regulated and controlled by force. Mao said this quite openly himself.

Democracy would inevitably falter and fail in China.

Theodore White was brilliant. It is a joy to have hear him speak and read his books. It's incredible learning experience from a giant of the 20th Century. They don't make `em like that anymore and you'll never see the likes of it again.

This is by far the most brilliant documentary on such a confounding epoch of our history, China is still a mystery today as it was then but the insightful and poetic narration of this documentary gives off echoes to the roots of what makes the Middle Kingdom

its not a mystery dumbass you can buy a ticket and go visit yourself

Shang Yang

Is it just me or the Communists received a much better portrayal than the Nationalist in the Civil War part of the documentary? They even have their own cute theme melody whenever the narrative switches over to their side.

Really enjoyed this documentary, taught me many things I didn't know.

I remember watching this on TV in 1967. I also bought a paperback book version of this documentary then.

Cixi did not kill her son Emperor Tongzhi on his throne he died of syphilis. Wanzhen, Cixis sister and mother of Emperor Guangxu died in 1896 probably of cancer or a fever. Although she did Kill Guangxu in 1908 to prevent the Japanese gaining control of China as he had links with wild fox kang and Count Ito. Cixi died following a stroke on 15th of November 1908 at the age of 73 having just installed Pu Yi as emperor.

Have you seen the end of this documentary? It resonates with now - end of 2019 and into 2020, how ironic that back in 1967 we have already had an answer.

I was in probably the worst moment of my life. In Chile two years ago... I had been attacked by thieves. No money nothing. Fell out of the hospital with 3 broken ribs, a broken arm and concussion. Literally fell over the wall into a cemetery and slept for two days. Fly bitten and living off apples from the tree that gave me shade I took from my backpack a book I had bought the week before. Ted White's book. Telling of this time... Without the anti red feeling. I read it twice over in the following few days before I was found emaciated by local kids. I could not stand due to what I later found was a skull fracture.

May Yahuah bless the rest of your life, and I hope you never feel so horrible again.
