  1. Wow. Xi is turning the clock back. But, there is no going back. The China of 2022, is not the China of 1972. It is an older China. It is a country of families with only one child. It is a country without brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles. But, it is also a country that has gotten used to the good life -- cars, travel, nice homes, nice clothes. Many millions of Chinese have traveled to other nations. The people are not as unaware of the world, as they were in 1972. China is more urbanized. So, Xi cannot make China into a mirror of its 1972 self. I think Xi is about to unleash social and political forces of a strength that he won't understand, and cannot control. Seems to me, that we are witnessing the decline and fall of the CCP. How long it will take, and exactly how it will fall, we can only wait and see.
