I very much appreciate your commentary on conditions in the PRC and CCP. I avidly await your next video on CCP succession.

@LeisRealTalk When you recapped the CCP History, I was surprised you said nothing about Zhou En Li. I realize that Zhou lacked any aspirations to lead the Party, but he might serve as a good example of a very high ranking position who supported with patience of Job, and who was forced into a very public admission of his reactionary thoughts. I have always thought that made Mao very pleased became it showed Mao what kind of control he had over Zhou. So maybe Zhou is a unnecessary, and would serve to distraction from explanation of how succession occurs. Whenever I look CCP succession, I am reminded of when Winston Churchill about Kremlin succession fights "as a bulldog fight under a rug: “An outsider only hears the growling, and when he sees the bones fly out from beneath it is obvious who won.” Thanks for pulling rug off the CCP succession fights so we can whois contending with whom, and how they are doing it.
