The Complete History of China | A Beginning To Now Production

The land of China was once shrouded in mystery to the rest of the ancient world.

The Silk Road was a connection between the two realms that suggested China to be of immense wealth and power.

However, expeditions from distant empires would fail to uncover the true scale of this hidden empire.

Whilst these civilizations would see dramatic falls, China would continue to rise through countless dynasties and emperors for thousands of years, forming the global superpower we know today.

From constructing the longest structure in the world, to hosting the largest and deadliest wars in mankind’s history, China is the longest continuous civilization on earth, dating back 5000 years - withstanding the ancient era, the middles ages, and now, the modern period.

But can they continue on?

To understand this fascinating land, we must start from the beginning.

More than 500 million people have been lifted out of poverty since China's economic reforms began in 1978.

China is one of the world's oldest civilizations. It has been a great power in the past and aspires to become a global superpower in the future. Today’s China it is still grappling with traumas that go back to the 19th century. Back then China sold silk, tea and porcelain to the British Empire, but hardly bought any British goods. To balance its trade with China, the British smuggled Indian opium into Chinese ports, which immediately increased demand for the drug and brought detrimental effects to the Chinese economy and the population. The Emperor's protests did not prevent the British Empire from forcing through the legalization of opium in China after waging two wars. Japan also surprised and devastated the country in what is known as the Century of Humiliation. From then until today, China has focused on steering its destiny and disarming its rivals.
