When China Became FRIENDS With Japan: Deng Xiaoping's Forgotten Trip

A forgotten part of history is the time Deng Xiaoping visited Japan. Though relations between the two nations are deep & complex, Deng Xiaoping's historic trip to Japan in 1978 (the first standing Chinese leader to visit Japan in over 2000 years of China-Japan relations) changed modern China's destiny - and its impact is not often talked about. Deng spent years fighting brutal Japanese Imperial forces during WW2 but yet he decided to work with the former enemy to bring China back to its former glory. He greeted Japanese leaders as old friends (老朋友) and marvelled at Japan's modern factories and technologies. Just over 3 decades after Deng Xiaoping sat on Japan's famed Shinkansen bullet train, China has not only matched Japan in economic & industrial power but surpassed it - now boasting the fastest and longest high-speed rail network in the world. Find out more about Deng's visit in this video, how Japan & China became best friends, and why the relationship fell apart. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro ft.
