many cultures tell the story of a great flood. chinese mythology speaks of tarantula grains being set upon the earth by an angry water god flooding the land for years. one man didn't look to escape from the flood or ride out the storm in an arc but to overcome it. his name was you and he built a series of downs and canals to channel the rising water to control its flow. he engineer order of the chaos allowing his people to survive and to flourish. you would become emperor and his deeds would become legend.

today the story of modern china 5000 years in the making is still a story of order the struggle to keep it against the forces that would take it away . we have the belgian road initiative military is also expanding yet how can you argue that it's not perfectly poised to be the superpower. chinese version of thora turned we're not recipes for or content without influencing the whole world in the whole world in its own image. it is ingrained in the chinese culture that the

top dog is no fun and china has no desire to replace any country to be the top dog . used to say history and everything else must serve the people only the party represents the people the party. controlled in the rating of history. china once ruled the waves. the chinese empire stretched across east asia and its influence reached as far as the edges of europe. for almost 2000 years from the 1st century b.c. e. china was a leading world power full of invention and adventure a center of global trade. underpinning the power and wealth was the principle of

order which bound together a vast and i keep ing it from collapse. 252300 years ago the chinese world was united on the one leadership of that's when this very idea or way ideal of a china order was put in practice so for the 1st time a singer. go or 30 unify the whole known world they call the chinese world or china as we call it today the time called the chain and that's where the word china comes from. the chin dynasty had emerged victorious for a prolonged period of wars between rival states and in the year 221 b.c. it's not about creating the 1st chinese empire. it introduced a common currency and a standardized language across china. the chin imperial project was built on

a strategy designed for war but republic is to maintain peace this system known as legalism applied strict laws and severe punishment as a way of keeping the empire and its people in order legalism emphasize on the use of force clear use of force discipline control and empower wish individuals so there are state is strong right legalism is pretty make it kind of hard core manipulation of human beings if you will. legalism was a ruthless strategy designed for state security and to keep state power its emphasis on order board principles originally meant for social harmony that had emerged some 3 centuries earlier and based on the teachings of one man. can fish is that maybe that the most important to think or. for the whole history

of china. basically he's idea about the old it is about the rich or the reacher or it is the old elf eve you are not follow. the practice of reach all of it can be thought of as of side. that order really starts from within the family the important social relations that are built within the family so the father and son are parent and child the key is that is relational ity. whereas western thinking prizes the individual and things of the individual's relationship to other things but with the individual at the center china china has is one of those cultures where relations are much more important and people are defined in a sense by rules. as a society observed to these roles lived by behind morality and sad respect the

hierarchy that confucius laid out. disorder. is renounce these lofty old traditions. confucianism and promoting legalism. period we saw the rise of this philosophy known as legalism what did legalism look like in the historical sense so the relationship between the ruler and rude is defined almost like. men and herds are sheep you manage people you rule them that come listenership top down to earth or your structure is a core so the went to cover. the power is clear there so for that you can talk about the humanitarian soft kind of our rituals confucianism is famous for but you recover with a deuce of

a force no i would say in today's world we would define confucianism as one of the 3 pillars of the chinese civilization and its key element i would say emphasizes order based on your attitude and ethics now legalism basically would leave everything to the most of the law if anyone is in violation of a law or a particular code for example the penalty or consequences will come after him i would say confusion is very able to maintain stability for the long term that way they have a problem with that legalism is actually very simple is using law and forcing law in a very harsh way you know is what the lays down nothing in terms of what people want or they don't want the confucianism is the really big issue all that have been set in the name of confucius for about 2000 years if you can bring poor conclusions

back from the grace he cannot reckon. ice them all the things that were done in his name were completely against what confucius himself taught in what way have you reduce confucianism tool is most simple form is not order is not a hierarchy is to the right thing in the judgment of history it was a subsequent emperor us from the 2nd empire. down who tried to conscript confucianism and gave it and elevate it into a kind of a state religion status and they and in the process also mix it with legalism in order to have both the legal mechanism to control as well as they can of ability to claim a moral authority that you must all duties in the name of confucius.

in early imperial china moral authority came from a source higher than human something altogether more divine the job of the ruler is to create order and if you create order and you have a stable society and you help provide for your people then you will have what we translate in english as the mandate of heaven you will you will be a legitimate ruler. the mandate of heaven and me was an ancient chinese creed that distorted moral authority on any would be rula . without this mandate an ember lacked the divine right to rule with it came the responsibility for what was called. literally everything under heaven with china as the middle kingdom at its haunch. a ruler is someone who doesn't simply impose himself he's someone who helps lift people up support them or give them the means

by which to support themselves the key feature is this intimate connection between the ruler success and the people's prosperity. the jinns connection with the chinese people based on fear or short lived. the mandate from heaven and authority our victim was lost as the people rebelled against crucial chain rule. in 206 b.c. that mandate was taken on by a new dynasty the one who cloaked the legalism with the deliberate return to more mass of full confucian ideals. it was a master stroke. the 100 for another 400 years. at the beginning of the 3rd century c.e. china entered a golden age 1600 years of unprecedented growth. the 3rd to the 19th century so chinese civilization. the silk road the trade route connecting

china to central asia and the new east reached out ever growing china's commercial and cultural reach ever deeper expanding the horizons of. following the hand one ruling dynasty to another town to song ching arts science culture and calmness thrived. pioneering advances in china's maritime a military technology increased its power and its influence. the chinese exported silk porcelain and tea across continents many nations a new culture into china's idea of under heaven and challenges particularly from europe to its place at the center of the world. by the time we get to the 16th or 17th centuries china has major merchant groups across different parts of

the empire as well as those who are trading with southeast asia in this period of time china is a very prosperous empire china standards of living and its commercial sophistication in large measure where the equal of that of europeans into the 18th century it really laid down foundation of a particular chinese political system in practice it continued all the way to the 19th century when the europeans came in. china was in many ways europe's equivalent economically in terms of its prosperity certainly in terms of the numbers of people it could feed and the

stability of its political order is challenged in a new way in the 1900 century by a new type of foreign power led by the british who have built the largest navy in the world by this time the british the colonial empire is expanding rapidly they move into east asia on the lookout for colonies so they want to have access to the chinese market they want to sell opium which they go to india to the chinese the emperor refuses. famously says you know you've got nothing to offer us we're not interested in your goods the whole idea was that for the sake of successful british trade an entire gigantic nation could be turned into a nation of attics. but the chinese are fit to resist and the 1st opium war was a disaster the british as part of their bounty take hong kong and this then becomes a process y.

which the british occupation of hong kong spreads over time into other major cities in china the so-called treaty ports of entry many of the most important. become of the foreign control. the world's praying powers moved in on a wooden and be ruled in china shorn of its land and it says. britain hived off this is teaching port city of hong kong for itself well france germany russia and the united states secure that are an access to ports as well as rights to trade back goods and to spread the word of their christian faith defeated in a war against france would fall on $894.00 defeat at the hands of an enemy close to home would rock china to its core. what we really course the empire used to get she can. watch the war that the empire i fought against japan

and all for their control of career. career was one of china's 3 states and the last it was die that china was being defeated not by some more than at vons powers like the british empire of queen victoria but by an inferior neighbor japan now that we've the schick the empire and that was the point when things started to change in a traumatic way they were so solidly defeat that they didn't want it with them what you had to make in 39 was defeat after defeat after defeat after defeat and their point chinese and the chinese agreed there is salt china the chicken diners the was the center was the most powerful most to serialize the nation but to the big

their big surprise there were defeated. confusion and conflict reigned across china as it seemed to terra true twin dating forces from overseas and battled rebellious at home. in $1000.00 a level the imperial system that it kept order for more than 2000 years collapsed under the weight of the nationalist revolution the middle kingdom was now a republic. the new nationalists republic joined the allied forces in the 1st world war only for china's contribution to be betrayed as the treaty of versailles ended the war and handed chinese territory over to japan. it was another slap in the face . on may 4th 1919 and by the impotence of their leaders thousands of young chinese took to the streets demanding political and cultural transformation. what

came to be known as the may 4th me call for a move away from tide confusion more as i was to lead the nationalists to reform the government kuomintang party became tea and model china's government but at the same time it inspired the formation of a rival political force. bear force moment prepared for the chinese communist a moment but i actually got a lot of the ideas a lot of the activists for the came to a moment where the 2nd. is that all share the common view about the old ideas are to be abandoned so a shift in communist ideas and then lead to the creation of commons party and i need 21 and they talk gradually the civil war and saw so force. these 2 distinct blocs with 2 distinct fissions force out a bloody civil war the right to rule

a chaotic disorder china. by the mid 1930 s. t. happy upper hand forcing the communists to retreat on a long much north across group china. it was this long much that saw the emergence of a leader who would be his policies and his country's destiny. the long march occurred when the communist forces the side to break out from the mountains in the south of china mouths of the long lead that long march and that's when he emerged as the strongest leader in the communist party the carters of ma would go into the villages and say will you join us because the mandate of heaven is being lifted from those who are corrupt those who have impoverished you those who have given their country to the foreigners. will you rise up with us.

but in 1937 japan invading china 1st 2nd time nationalists and communists hold together to fight the japanese occupation as the 2nd world war convulsed the nations of the east and the west. the war would end in 1905 japan would surrender. the chinese communists and its nationalist government that one fight against each other. in that 8 years of war while the. central government fought a north huge number of troops and you put in and the communist party focused on expanding by the end of the war the communist party had about a 1000000 men on that ho. the communist party of china received an

enormous absolutely enormous amount of military hardware from the soviet union. china's civil war was not of the grand narrative. with mao c.c.p. bolstered by the soviet union and the kang and t. led by general chiang kai shek drawing its support from the united states. the u. s. was investing a lot in china and they were very much betty all their relations with generally so much on pay checks rejean as well as the jones family and after the end of the 2nd world war i seeing the united states made the wrong bet. the k m t it lost the battle for china and embarked on a great retreat to the island of taiwan word established the republic of china that

. on october 1st $949.00 would declare the mainland the people's republic of china signaling had another shift away from a failed old order and the end of what many chinese saw a century of humiliation. the chinese communist party under mao for the 1st time had a very deep or mobilisation of the whole chinese society for a political purpose moscow tried to a bear there all these are you could treated western powers saw the career china as a more than those who stayed. should be treated by other nations.

in 1950 mouse modern nation state and had the korean war joining the soviet union on the side of the north against the u.s. backed south. china was to be reckoned with alongside the world superpowers it was a bold statement on the world stage. dong would then turn to matters at home. beginning with the so-called 100 flowers campaign in 1956 the communist party invited open debate on how china was being governed so they set lot of 1000 flowers bloom big trap yes they've learned they said oh great now we're going to express ourselves and i could as of that i have different views and that the purpose of the blooming was to have them expose themselves actually. dissenting voices were silenced. critics were purged from universities and from the c.c.p.

many condemned to hard labor some executed. now was imposing his own order confucian thought was replaced by melted. set out in his little red book and setting in place a strict authoritarian rule that was rooted in himself and in china's imperial past . we. inch into embryos to communist leaders. age old philosophies and the rule of order remains central to the world's oldest living civilization. in the 1st of a 2 part series the big picture charts how a history spanning by 1000 years shaped china's role in the industrialized world.

the china complex part one on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks all the holdings in its path what destroyed and this is all that's left with details coverage for mexico elected a new president last year they did still largely with the promises that he would end the violence in the country and feel this journalism from around the world this rally was approved by play that ought to practice the logic of it that the other 3 rallies held in hong kong. bit of a strange day to start the center fuse we just heard today to city of aleppo has fallen. or should we say liberated. one. for the stone issuing stories toad in their own why it's how do

you know who to trust not to trust. a stranger came to town witness on al-jazeera. and richelle carey and oh by the top stories right now on al jazeera the 1st official impeachment charges against president have been announced democratic party leaders say he said buz the power of his office and obstruct a congress and its investigation truck denies any wrongdoing and during a rally in the battle current battleground state of pennsylvania he called the 2 articles of impeachment against him and pathetic you so there's still cooled articles of impeachment today people are saying then that even a crime what happened all of these horrible things remember bribery and this is

where i think they send these 2 things are not even a crime this is the light is weakest impeachment you know country said actually many impeach that you call judges and lots of a many of pictures but it was on today everybody said this is impeachment lite. your secular state might pompei you has warned russia's foreign minister of retaliation if moscow interferes in next year's u.s. presidential election cycle or office in washington for talks in his 1st visit to the u.s. since 2017 are all says claims of russian meddling in the 2016 election are baseless and that moscow wants to normalize relations with the pentagon a suspended more than 850 saudi arabian military students in the u.s. that follows an attack at an air base in florida last week in which 3 people were killed the f.b.i. believes air force officer mohammad saeed. acted alone when he carried out the

not a dime's leadership of china was being built on a harsh imposition of rules at once landing from china's past as well as trying to break from it if you really analyze modern thought the idea was punishment ching idea basically is a legalism wrapped up we imported communist physiology mao was a master of legalism right he played legal these tricks better than most of the competitors. plays next trick in 1058 now we're trying to transform china from a struggling agrarian society into an industrial powerhouse. where i am required. to meet. he called this transformation the great leap forward. particularly the web.

and when. it failed. agriculture was neglected and when china was had by severe droughts famine wasn't demick. a human catastrophe reply across a faltering revolution. estimates of the death toll range from 18000000 to over 50000000. by that you'd support of an hour you're done it's hunnish i see it i was an all boys on the johnny you chase and his in the guise of. you an answer goes only they should only use will tell you you mean. this about a 1000 you mother nobody else and played all that to her by you sit back and party while she's a modern goaltender you got your answer. thank you so how do you know we disappoint tenants holt's horton's house although you may use only the symbols in going on

just on the subway that we can handle use in one's home. mal blamed his policy failures on trouts anti communist and liberal reformist sympathetic to western capitalism who had to be. the public may have had an unshakeable faith in their leader but his authority at the top of the communist party was still vulnerable to rivals. and so in 1966 now would again lean on legalism reigniting radical fervor among the beattie and young chinese to purge capitalists and reactionary forces from the communist project he called this new plan the great proletarian cultural revolution. given that's what i wasn't tell my guys and you've got a month since you saw mother miss the nonmember then buckle was so that if you millions died and clothing mobilizing young people who

tortured or struggle to death teachers so we're talking about 12 year olds 14 year olds beating to death teachers. it was ultimately a vision that created massive unintended consequences. by empowering people to rebel and to create authority in distinction from the bureaucratic authority under the guise of this movement because of the breakdown of normal social and political order. created great chaos . as it nears its end at the turn of the 1970 s. the cultural revolution had claimed upwards of 2000000 lives and removed men. any of the most powerful challenges to it was now an ailing mts dong the sick leader

was presiding over a sick country ravaged by the very policies designed to lift its malays. china had been left behind by the international community and now the island border disputes had also left it to strange from its soviet ally mao was politically and physically weak in need of a shot in the arm for his country and his command. it would come in early $972.00 and from a most unexpected songs president nixon was able to be a great statesman and he realized that if he made a dramatic gesture to mao he might be able to overcome the stored unary hostility and lack of good faith between united states and china at that time next of course had been a classic anti-communist but if a major communist country like china could be times against the soviet union that

was seen as a. i mean just after and us global strategy and more particularly with regard to the vietnam war where both china and the soviet union were helping north vietnam if one of them could be initialised in some respect it would help and i think the intervention sooner rather than later following nixon's visit there is momentum to normalize relations which is achieved by only in 1976. and that creates an economic space that will increasingly be taken advantage of china began. opening in a cautious way towards the rest of the world our model had no interest in transforming the system and by that our knowledge is now or affected specific. in september $976.00 the dome the founding father of the people's republic of china died. this time from morning miles death gave way to the need to fix the problems

he had left behind. in 1978 a new leader young sapin twice posts from the c.c.p. for pushing economic reforms took on the mandate of heaven and looked to purge china of mass folly. mile warse a stunning just on steroids with a destructive streak when it comes to culture civilization and the finer things in life for others. nobody. in chinese history has done more to destroy chinese civilization that. was what help people in china back to put it very mildly and that is evolution that happened under the banner of communism but failing you don't think that mao was communist at all can

you explain more about that in my view he used communism like he used so many things to get power and stay in power so now looking back at the 1st 30 years which is largely on the models dictatorship was a tragic very tragic d. torch on history in other words the chinese spent so many lives so much time so much wealth getting nothing other mistake a nation model don't try to change china but a worse changed in the previous century new china was actually quite an irony initially it looks like a new but very quickly become a great leap backwards. allowed to disagree to certain extent even though there are many bad economic decisions the chinese heavy industry development for example irrigation and very importantly land reform was completed

in the 1st 30 years of mao's struggle therefore i think we need to be very objective as to what model did he was not a 100 percent evil person he was not a 100 percent good person for example he did huge image huge mistakes but also in essence i think if we think about mulder don't have day he was a great chinese national he had the guts to stand up he had the guts to rally the chinese people behind him he had the guts to really stand firm on the world stage he had the guts to stay in power for ever he had guts to ruin the country is one matter. his mission his impression was not just china he wanted to liberate the whole humankind if you will we were little we're taught one day which we're prepared to liberate the 3 corus so human beings are suffering unlike us so that's our mission and on a 10 a monkey today there is still

a slogan says long live the grandest solidarity of the people of the world great solidarity of people the war on the home that's the question victor do you have that similar memory though i disagree with the professor quite a lot i would say when. came back to power. he was the paramount leader and he was prosecuted quite a few times by mouth through what evolutionists so he probably had more reason than any other single person to really. overturn mao's position in the companies party of china or bomb the chinese people however he said very objectively and i think this is the greatness of been shopping that mao was wrong 30 percent of the time but he was right 70 percent of power when you look at him our you really need to look at his totality he was a great man he was a great poet for example he was a man of great impact that's for sure whether you're like him or not mao will be

recorded in chinese history whenever the chinese nation would still survive several what was your memories of now how do you think no i don't remember now i don't think we should be trying to remember mark because as a personal emotional thing we should be looking at now as a historical figure and fair checked you with what he was asked as to why don't you show ping has to say that you don't was 70 percent right and 30 percent wrong what else could he have said he inherited power from morrow he was one of the closest of mouse left tenants. the inheritance in her terms of power was transmitted to the communist party of china if the shopping go to tell and to morrow the communist party would have civil legitimacy to stay in power in china in

the late 1970 s. how could it do so turkey's do not celebrate christmas. was not interested in continuing laws experiment covers him in a victim of the great people's cultural. he was going to make sure nothing like that ever happens in jail in china china started openly our reform. and abandoned more confrontational approach to western powers domestically and china under deja baird than some of the maoists social economic policy they shall be encouraged introversion private sector even to some degree market the colony so china reform its social economic system to give people more so more freedom social economic freedom he would call that system socialism with chinese characteristics he basically says what really matters it is productive it and

he used the famous saying it doesn't matter whether a cat is black white or really back has is that whatever its color would catch mice . the signs of change are very evident in any chinese village or told market. these are private stallholder selling their own produce a touch of capitalism in a one stock trimming company stay. right. there are being removed the shackles from chinese entrepreneurship. here conduct china's foreign policy extend their warm welcome. 2 american leaders and their investment dollars. downs liberal economic reforms allow the private ownership and the new special economic zones like gleams like beacons of profit for western businesses. don't also restore time is confucian bedrock it was an attempt to

revive an indigenous culture deepen communities and to help remodel a nation but for the chinese people growing economic legacy would not be matched by greater political freedom things are being laid down the limit of how much reform can go so freedom speech political participation unlimited by how much the party allows you so you cannot challenge a party its power modernizations meant you had to industrialize in the cities but it also meant that you had to educate people so you have to settle the advent of a much larger student class before these people were more free thinking than before at the same time they were absolutely necessary this general process of reform brought decisions by the chinese leadership to send tens of thousands of service or ultimately hundreds thousands abroad with the hope they would come home

and use those skills to develop china they were also exposed her other ideas and the west that were not narrowly economic. ideas our cultural ideas about politics and. some of the students in chinese or abroad were quite attractive to what i saw . no ideas were splitting the chinese communist party reformists played for increased liberalization political as well as economic well for hardliners such ideas threaten to expose the party hierarchy as a house of cards despite the differences party officials availed themselves of the opportunities opened up by private enterprise corruption was growing as fast as the new economy. removing corrupt and incompetent officials as well as unrepentant maoists from public office was a charge taken on by the c.c.p.

reformist general secretary who yell bong. but in 1987 follow me leaks of student protests against a corruption and growing inequality the c.c.p. blamed for the unrest forcing him to stand down 2 years later in april 1990 he died of heart failure. his passing away was a moment for the chinese nation to pause and to recollect its which for example and to recall what happened in the house revolution what happened since 978 and i think a lot of people at that time were not very happy about some of the political situations in china. because was lost to protest students felt aggrieved that who you are banks legacy was being disrespected by the c.c.p. pushing them once again to stand up against the state. grief now merged with

anger frustrations over corruption rising prices growing inequality a needed political reform cocked back to the may 4th movement 70 years earlier by early june 1909 heated passions cement on the streets of beijing. a toxic burn was about to born one fact. there you are at. 14 or soon you'll be a sound all of what you can contend she may tell us a way that you. can't swim in the savannah something that she plays on. they can't what is you what you want isn't he can subpoena them. i was in 10 square and the broadcast a while in the pit bull to be. the. one

to persuade the students with job but a lot of students don't want to do it that. was what this kind of thing doesn't been. chance and i don't know why are the fights and some in the assembly of satan people was at the beginning i think they try to avoid. there real. was. but then you have a lot of the cause or maybe talks were. stolen by by typical.

want to make onion can 100. 1000 that. the home. was a quad so long. to bring out the people's liberation army on the people p l a we have to emphasize shocked horrified everything that was not something i think how could you do that. when you're sent in tanks you're going to cause death tax to the rest individual people they roll it up
