Is there a good like uh “intro to China” book or YouTube channel? Like something that teaches me (possibly indirectly) what things are valued, how people think and act, extremely basic history, how politics works, how factories get put up, etc etc. Could be about government, industry, the common person, or whatever.. I wish I could be asking for something more specific, but I honestly do not even know the basics.
All I’ve read is Shenzhen: A Travelogue from China which was quite good although very obsolete. Also it is a comic book.
I’m not much of a reader so I’m looking for something extremely basic.
I am asking humans instead of a chatbot because all the mainstream talk about China seems very wrong to me and I don’t want to read something wrong

I’m a fan of this blog which is mainly translations and commentary on Chinese social media posts but also has some history posts.
Thank you!
This is so much better than what claude was giving me
