The USA, Canada, Australia, and Nordic countries have sparsely populated regions (the contiguous USA even smaller without Alaska) yet they're stereotyped as having great geographies and economies.

The USA's geographic superiority isn't a stereotype. It's a proven, measurable fact. Just one example: the continental US has more miles of navigable rivers than the rest of the world combined. Read that again. MORE than the ENTIRE rest of the world.

Love the analysis, but I want to point out one small bit that is erroneous: you say that for Han China, climbing up to Tibet is difficult, but immediately after that you mention that India could move across the Himalayas ... this is untrue in every sense. The Indian side of the Himalayas rises like walls, while the Tibetan side is a comparatively much more gradual gain (or drop, depending on how you are traversing) in elevation. For decades, in Indian policy circles, this relative ease of Chinese movement compared to the insane difficulty of Indian troop movement has been discussed ... and there's still no obvious solution (other than maintaining specialized mountain corps along the Tibetan border). There were analysts in India until the mid-1990s who pushed for a complete lack of road infrastructure in the Indian Himalayas just so that in the event of a war, the Chinese army would not be able use roads to progress any further. I say this as someone who has worked with such policy makers AND as an avid mountaineer on the Indian Himalayas. But one can also see this difference clearly just from Google Earth.

weird music choices in this video, not sure if anyone else picked up on that, but some of them were very jarring and uncomfortable to the ear, like, i nearly just closed down the video and left kind of uncomfortable

The editing on this video is so weird personally I find the swaying back and forth of the map pretty annoying and the sad music was too loud compared to the voice. Lastly the video is called insane weakness yet those seem like very manageable weaknesses, almost every country has borders and who is going to attack through the mountains as was pointed out there is few people living there, the only real weakness would be Tibet in a conflict with India but that's also a normal weakness for many countries to have a river originating from outside their country.

The blue area was a old china , at that time the other area was invaded by near nomadic tribes for 3 thousand years. When ching empire occupied the ming dynasty, insistently ching empire& Communist party ruled it . It plays a defence buffers. Somedays i hope that they will be free from china Thanks for your posting.🌻

If you're doing two more video's on this I'd really recommend confirming your pronunciation on specific terms, there was a LOT of very poor pronunciation in this video, to the point where both me and my partner kept going "What?". I've watched a lot of your content, this was a pretty weak video though sadly, lots of aspects to improve, that other people have already commented on too.

To be fair, in his defense, KZitem is an international platform that brings in content creators and viewers globally; It would be wrong to say that his accent is poor, considering that accents, by themself, are subjective and are inherited differently across regions. Although, I understand that you're addressing the fact that his accent doesn't follow one of the popular choices out there (let that be American, British and so on) but overall, as a non-native English speaker, his accent was relatively easier than a lot of my experiences.
