History of China Part 13

from Blind History · host Blind History with Josh Barry

@Asmr-Blind-HistoryAn explainer tracing 3,000 years of China’s languages and shifting borders — from Old and Middle Chinese and the rise of Classical script to modern Sinitic diversity (Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, Min, Hakka) and the state-building push for Putonghua. We also map imperial expansion, frontier integration, treaty-era losses, and contemporary disputes including Taiwan and the South China Sea. Perfect for history & geo nerds who want a concise, evidence-driven overview of language, identity, and territory in China.
