  50. What you have to realise here is that in a Leninist form of Marxist communism every single word that is released to the media must be passed by a political adjudicator. So only good news and news that is going to seemingly help the party and the economy is going to be allowed to be released. This can be seen in the recent spate of communist party press releases begging for foreign capital inflows by insisting that there was a strong rebound in the China economy. How can such a rebound happen when demand is falling worldwide when long range shipping supply chains are being tangled and cut and when the price of energy is going through the roof?. Everybody but everybody, including billionaires are pulling their horns in and hunking down for a long period of recession, concession and depression. And that is the reality for China. Communist China will be destroyed by its own atrocity ridden programs and policies. The housing, the silent cities, the bullet trains to nowhere and the 'tofu dregs' construction. Tofu dregs construction is extremely shoddy construction corruption characterised by lack of incentive for workers and lack of supervision by competent engineers, resulting in things that fall apart, fall on people, crash and or are uninhabitable. All of these are coming to a head and represent the most extraordinary rip-off of the great Chinese people that you can possibly imagine. The responsibility all falls at the feet of the Chinese Communist party and its poor myopic, power obsessed, factionalized leadership, if you can call it that.
