  1. It's truly shocking to see someone of RFK Jr's intelligence and stature not act like an arrogant, ignorant, bought and paid for Stooge of Big Government and Big Industry. Almost like the US still has human beings left that are trying to help the human race. Very rare indeed.

  2. This lady is 1000% propaganda, but don't take my word for it, take former Vice Premiere Li Keqiang's word for it as he was the CCP's top educated and most knowledgeable economist. In 2020, Li Keqiang stated that "the mainland economy had stopped actual growth around the year 2013." He also said "in 2020 that 600 million Chinese — 40 percent of the population, were living in abject poverty on less than $141 USD/month." These comments caused Dictator Xi massive embarrassment and he had Li Keqiang permanently "erased" in 2023. With the recent massive spike in youth unemployment (they stopped reporting numbers after youth unemployment reached 56%), manufacturing exodus, local and provincial debt insolvency (using Local Government Financing Vehicles in just 1 example they overbuilt housing units by 1.5 BILLION TO 3 BILLION UNITS over their current population), the rapid decline in currency evaluation, etc, etc, those numbers are becoming much, much worse. If you're a Peking University graduate with a Masters in Economics with over 10 years spent as Vice Premiere of the CCP then by all means, you're extremely qualified to talk on their financial matters in great detail. If not, here's 50 cents to buy some gutter oil noodles with. Enjoy.

  3. ​ @kshen7485 that must be why they "efficiently" overbuilt housing by 1.5-3 Billion units for the entire population effectively wiping out generations of family savings because it was the only investment that didn't collapse every 7 to 8 years like their stock market does. They lock capital into the system because the gov't is terrified of capital flight, which every citizen would do if legally allowed to invest outside the mainland.

  5. ​ @kshen7485 so delusional, maybe in another 75 years champ. Of course the mainland will have collapsed long ago so it'll only be the ROC left anyways. The mainland could join them again. Enjoy. 😂

  6. ​​ @kshen7485 totally different than from Mao's era, you mean large scale live organ harvesting has stopped? Welding millions of people into their apartments during 'Zero Covid' and letting them starve to death never happened? Real abject poverty has been eliminated? No on all 3 of these? Exactly. Enjoy your "Xi Jingping Thought" book and remember to recite it everyday comrade. And remember, Xi never even graduated high school, and that's whose running your country straight back into The Great Leap Forward of the 1950s and '60s and Mao 2.0, enjoy being used and harvested like all the other Chinese Leeks are. Cha Bu Duo is modern China's mantra and it shows in their Tofu Dreg Economy. Build quick, cut every corner possible, use zero safety standards, bribe whoever it takes to look the other way, and when it fails in ten years like all of its infrastructure is now doing, blame Japan or the US. 😂😂
