  1. That's a wise quotation

  2. I heard that it was a weird personal Feng shui "reasoning" by Xi Jinping to put the Xiong'an ghost city there at enormous cost. Not only does Xi exhibit a level of superstition to exceed even Hitler (who believed in astrology and had a "court" astrologer, Karl Krafft, live with him in the Berghof), but Xi Jinping demonstrates a personality unbounded by practical reasoning, similar to Hitler's. And like Hitler, who was too busy running a losing war but wanted to redesign Berlin artitectually, Xi has had this white elephant monstrosity of a ghost city built to please himself and his Hitlerian vanities. It would be ridiculously amusing (the Emperor has no clothes), but for huge waste of resources and money needed by the Chinese people on practical government projects, that instead was thrown away in its useless construction. This is a monstrously criminal level of incompetence by Xi Jinping, isolated from all his other criminal decisions in it's own right.

  3. With the world opening up after the pandemic lockdowns, many China financial scams, ponzi schemes and extortions go onto the internet and go international to rob foreigners of most of their money. Many of these are facilitated though social media as "pig butchering" scams, where pretty young Chinese women pretend to date a Westerner, Japanese or Korean guy to set them up for the "kill", through fraudulent money transactions and investment schemes (these women usually have mob handlers behind the scenes). It all takes weeks or months of coaxing, but the besotted foreigner can pay up big altogether, so organized transnational crime in China is set up well for this; their firewall has holes in it to let crime through or the scam is carried on in another relatively unrestricted internet country like Myanmar, that is open for China "business". The CCP does not care a damn about foreigners being scammed; it is nationalistic Han ethnocentic thinking and it apparently has scarce resources to shut down these fraud operations by policing action. Noteably, it's on to anyone in a nanosecond criticizing the central CCP government, but lets massive internet fraud flourish from China.
