Jiang Xueqin (Chinese: 江学勤[1]; pinyin: Jiāng Xuéqín; born 1976[4]), also known as Professor Jiang or PredictiveHistory is a Chinese-Canadian educator and writer based in Beijing, China. Jiang is a teacher at Moonshot Academy, Beijing, since 2022. His course Western Philosophy have been recorded and uploaded to his YouTube channel Predictive History.[5]

Early life and education

[edit]

Jiang emigrated from China with his family when he was young.[3] They settled in Toronto, Canada. His father is a short-order cook and his mother is a seamstress.[6] Jiang graduated with distinction from Yale College in 1999, earning an undergraduate degree in English literature.[7] Jiang holds Canadian citizenship.[6][2]

Career

[edit]

Jiang has worked in journalism, documentary filmmaking, international development (including positions with the United Nations), and education reform.[8]

In 1998, while still studying as an undergraduate at Yale, Jiang worked his first teaching job during a six-month tenure at the Affiliated High School of Peking University.[6]

Since 2000, Jiang lived in Beijing as a freelance journalist, including for the American Christian Science Monitor and the Hong Kong-based Far Eastern Economic Review.[2] In 2002, while contracted with the U.S.-funded Public Broadcasting Service, Jiang was detained for two days by police in Daqing, Heilongjiang, while reporting on a labor protest. He was accused of "making illegal video recordings", with a friend of Jiang claiming he was being suspected of spying. No charges were filed and Jiang was deported from China on 5 June 2002.[2][9]

He has held senior administrative and teaching positions at several prominent Chinese secondary schools, including:

  • Deputy Principal, Shenzhen Middle School (2008–2010)[10]
  • Program Director, Peking University High School International Division (2010–2012)
  • Tsinghua University's Affiliate High School (2014)[6]
  • History and Philosophy Teacher, Moonshot Academy Beijing (2022-now).[1]

Jiang advises schools across China on curriculum design that emphasizes creativity, critical thinking, and global perspectives. He is the author of Creative China (Chinese: 创新中国教育, 2014, ISBN 978-7-5117-2072-6), which documents his education reform initiatives.

He is a researcher with the Global Education Innovation Initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), and has served on the selection committee for the Global Teacher Prize.[7][11]

His writing has appeared in The New York Times (Chinese edition), China Youth Daily, The Wall Street Journal, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.[8]

Predictive History

[edit]

Jiang is the creator and principal lecturer of the YouTube channel Predictive History (Chinese: 预测历史), which he launched prior to 2024.[12]

The channel investigates whether a real-world version of psychohistory—see Cliodynamics—the fictional mathematical science of mass human behavior described in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series—is feasible through the study of recurring historical structures, game theory, and long-term pattern recognition.

His three main series are:

  • "Civilization", a series of more than 60 lectures tracing the narrative and ideological evolution of human societies from prehistory to the contemporary era, with particular emphasis on the unifying and mobilizing power of transcendent religious and civilizational belief systems.[13]
  • "Geo-Strategy", a series of lectures applying historical analogies to current great-power politics. Episode 8, The Iran Trap (recorded May 28–29, 2024), attracted international attention after several of its major predictions appeared to materialize in 2025 and 2026, including the re-election of Donald Trump and escalating U.S. involvement toward conflict with Iran.[14][5][15]
  • "Secret History", a series of 28 lectures explaining the history of secret societies and his views of their influence on global politics. In episode 28, Pax Judaica, Jiang predicts that Israel will become the dominant global economic power, leading to the rise of the Antichrist.[16]

Jiang frequently draws on classical Western narrative traditions, including the Iliad, the tragedies of Aeschylus and Euripides, the career of Alexander the Great, Virgil's Aeneid, Dante's Divine Comedy, Jewish messianic thought, and Christian eschatology.[17]
