  2. The Communist CCP is only skilled in propaganda and copying or coCCPying. Timestamps below; 2:31 I've noticed that about the South China Morning Post since Jack Ma, who I like, bought the company too.

The seabed at Boho Island in the Philippines is significantly better in terms of marine ecology compared to SAA, which has suffered from murky waters and poor visibility. 💰 The Chinese Communist party's development model for tourism and agriculture has not brought significant economic benefits to local residents, despite the profitability of attractions. 11:45 Low wages force residents to rely on overcharging tourists for their livelihood. Most revenues from attractions do not flow into the local community, and local residents are unable to share in the profits of major tourism sectors. The high investment required to establish accommodations and the dominance of large or state-owned enterprises leave limited income for local residents.
