  1. You know it hasn’t had the same government that whole time?

  2. It hasn’t though. It’s survived for 80 years because of US hegemony.

  3. Chinese history is wild. The fact that the Taiping-Rebellion happened because a hakka chinese failed to pass an entrance exam and then had Visions of being the brother of Jesus Christ and that the Qing are Demons that have corrupted the heavenly order and must be overthrown is on its own quiet something.

  4. What savages don’t understand is that civilizations as old as Greece and China have had several ups and downs over those thousands of years. “Goldman Sachs” is nothing compared to the [Bronze Age Collapse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Bronze_Age_collapse) or the [3rd Century Crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Third_Century) or the [15th century](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Constantinople). Americans are about to have their first one. Hahahahaha. It’s called growing up.

    Not sure where he got 6000 years though. We’re not *that* old, give us a break.

  5. Greece surviving 6 thousand hears??!? Werent they conquired by the persians to be followed my the macedonians go be followed by the romans to be followed by the ottomans?

  6. More like, “china catches on fire every 50 years. Thos time it won’t.”

    Someone out there needs to read a book

  7. China, the fractured kingdoms, that got turned into an empire, that fell into fractions kingdoms, only to get re-conquered into an empire… (repeat to the nth degree)… that got conquered into a communist empire that has recently liberalized trade with the world somewhat, has existed for 5000 years.
