I am tearing up now at the death of LI Keqiang. I vehemently oppose the CCP and its leader Zi. I had come to have a fondness for LI Keqiang because as I saw he was a leader for the people. It appeared to me here in the USA, LI Keqiang had many expeditions out to the provinces of China. LI Keqiang cared deeply for the Chinese people and appeared to try and help and most times he could.
To learn, that after the Zi induced economic depression, LI Keqiang tried to help regular Chinese people, out of work and out of choices, the ability to work as entrepreneurs on the street, to earn at least a meager wage.
However, around this time Zi's popularity was plummeting, and perhaps there were those that were thinking maybe a change in leadership was needed, unfortunately, this was after the elections and Zi, notoriously paranoid, came to slowly purge the CCP of those who were not closest to him.
I remember seeing LI Keqiang empty one day and wondered where he could be, he is always there. I soon found Zi's distrust of LI Keqiang, because of his acceptance of beloved by the people and many members of the CCP, who no doubt were advised by LI Keqiang, no doubt, Zi saw LI Keqiang as a threat.
LI Keqiang was no threat, he loved his job, and he did a good job holding China together as Zi made rules and proclamations that put China on the fiscal edge. LI Keqiang was good man. I would bet that the word war never escaped from his mouth, and that he dreamed of the day China and the US could be friends and the China miracle, for the Chinese people could appear again for the good of the Chinese people.
As such, it is my nature to ask questions, and so I ask these question:
1 What was LI Keqiang diet the day before and the day he had the heart attack?
2. Who was the leader or person that said that LI Keqiang should go to the #3 hospital in the area?
3. Why was no medical personnel available at the hotel? Knowing that such a personage was arriving it would be something to consider to make available, in case there was an issue.
4. Was there an autopsy? If not, why not? He was no longer in government why make his cause of death a secret? A man looking healthy and athletic for his age, should not all of a sudden drop dead.
5. What persons were with him the day before and the day he died, who served him?
Both China and America have leaders who have lost their minds and think only of war in these days.
LI Keqiang was a man of peace and economy, and a leader that wanted only the best and prosperity for his Chinese citizens, I sincerely believe he loved his people and smiled always when thinking of them.
May LI Keqiang rest in peace, farewell. The world has lost a great man, and China has lost a great leader a leader that thought only of doing the right thing for the Chinese people.

I have been watching this for about 4 years. The discharge of dams when then is extra rainfall. You know when it happens because it represents flood water above and beyond that of normal rainfall. now here is what I cannot figure out, who decides to open the water gates and flood? Are these dams so poorly made that flood level causes fear of the dam bursting? Because the dam, if well made will not burst, so if you let the water overflow, it will be much less them the massive dangerous discharge that happens that completely destroys everything.
However, they know if the engineers have told them the dams cannot stand prolonged stress caused by the increased water level and so, discharge collateral damage is necessary.
3 years ago I thought at some point someone in charge would have to see the massive damage caused by the dam discharge and find a better way, but it has not happened. I was completely shocked to hear it happen in Beijing, I would think they would never open the floodgates in the capital. Wow, was I ever wrong? It was a typhoon right, typhoons are scary and maybe they thought they had better discharge as a precaution, but I am guessing, I would think they should never be in a situation where discharge is allowed to destroy property and kill people.

Listen to me, I am a China watcher, I have listened to dam engineers from China, Hong Kong Shanghai, and the US as they talked about the Three Gorges Dam where my education comes from. The discharge at night comes from the local dam office reporting the level and waiting to get an order on what to do, they naturally assume they will be releasing a certain amount. This is the procedure.
I do not think any consideration is given to what happens to the water being discharged. IT just must be discharged. Many times that call has come at night and they execute immediately, and they are all computerized, and any delay they will be responsible for. Dam discharge at night is worse, because people are most likely asleep when the water comes, and evacuation becomes impossible.
During the day, the dam authorities alert the locals there will be a discharge and to prepare. People have time to evacuate before the water comes, but sometimes people do not get the message even in the daytime.
I watched the water tonnage come from the Three Gorges Dam and it was beyond my comprehension to process that amount of water was going somewhere where people are. I saw the aftermath of the discharge and again it was near beyond my comprehension to understand.
It happens here in America, but not nearly as often and not nearly the amount of what is discharged in China.
I think the story said there were around 20 different dams that had to have the water level adjusted by discharging? It didn't mention what dams there are around Beijing, but I could find out if I looked,, just looking at the velocity of the giant water flowing you know this is not a rain storm flood, this is a gigantic dam discharge causing this water to flood at this volume.
Did you see the bridge collapse into the water?? They had an underground motorway about a mile long a few months ago, and there was a storm,, but what happened was traffic was gridlocked and cars were unable to move so the whole underground motorway was full of cars and p[eople and there was a discharge of water.
People in their cars had nowhere to go, they are taking cellphone videos of the water coming into the tunnel and rising, Anyone that was in that tunnel most likely got back in their cars as the water rose. Those people that did not get out of the tunnel perished.
Cell phone video showed the tow trucks bringing the cars with dead people out of the tunnel. It was unbelievable to me those people had no escape to the surface, and that's not talking about a pumping system to keep the water from rising to the top of the tunnel.
I now can look and tell the difference between a rainstorm flood and a rainstorm flood that has a dam water discharge added to it.

There is a Chinese man, who works for a bank, and he has no clue to the economic calamity of thee country and how it got that way over the last 5 years. I knew is was going to bad, but it acually is beyond anything I could have conceived. In America we see stories of great China doing this an that, building, they are showing the great fantastic infrastructure, the fklying trians, the rains that hang down high off the groound like above ground subway, only they travel in the air, so they ar airways. There was a story the other day I did ot read, but it was about Chine missing a ouple of tons of gold. I don't know how true it is, but it is a little funny to think that the head of security arranged for some forklifts to come and remove soe gold buillion onto a truck and abscond with it. It isn't like high level Chinese executives don't steal from the people;.

2 years or so ago, Xi, bought like 27,000 tonnes of Gold in preparation of BRICS plan.
I did not understand how they could spend money like this, because this not the first year of difficulties. I Was really confused because I am not bright on buying and holding on to it for a long time. It's worth accumulating. Meaning all that Gold has grown in value.
I am not judging as an American, but the suffering of the people looks to be too much.
Why are businesses being allowed to put people out of work, they should keep people working and paying the best they can, instead of throwing them away.
What kind of discrimination is over 35, too old to work. I bet everyone in the CCP is over 35
why do they allow discrimination like that?
Every year student fresh with lesson of the gradate class, are allowed to not be employed, and I myself to not know what care is given to them. Some are lucky of course, but with millions of unemployed college gradates, what are they to do. How do they live does the CCP care?

It is odd a few months ago CCP China bought like 250 tons of gold. I didn't understand that. Though I see ow the cost of that cold is being paid by many people.
Respectfully, Zi does not know what he is doing. His finance minister doesn't know what he is doing. When American president Joe Biden entered office he disconnected the Keystone pipeline. That was an oil pipeline that would have America energy independent.
Naturally, this was a dumb thing to do, because shortly afterwards gas prices roses and retail prices of product rose, because of the increases in gas prices truckers had to pay and truck companies had to pass those prices on to the customers, who in turn, increased prices.
America too has a leader who is economically ignorant. When American companies start not making enough money they lay people off. Those people that lose their jobs apply for unemployment that help them for a time through hard times. There is not so much the system like that in China. I understand, those that can pay, have a sort of unemployment service in case hey use their jobs, however for the masses no such safety net exists.
Shaving all these people salaries, including the military and police, is an indication the CCP is in the wilderness without a map. It makes the loss of Li Ki Chang all the more devastating. Li knew the country and it economy, but someone grew afraid of him, unnecessarily, and now he is dead, and the country is in an economic quicksand in which it cannot survive.
Brics will not save China. Not without someone who understand the entirety of the problem and can pull the lever needed to rebuild the country. However, that is what Zi is not doing. Clamping down is the order of the day and a whole country suffers. When you fail to pay your military your days are numbered.

It occurs to me Austrailia is in a prime position to destroy the CCP. No Iron Ore and no coal, then let's see how the the grass is after the floods this year. I was also thinking the person that brought realiatory hardship upon the Chinese people, needlessly, should be punished and re-educated.
Air conditiooning is as the name implies Air : Conditioning, and that doesn't mean just cooling, but a knucklehead administratrator doesn;t know that.
Elevators turned off, in high rise buildings for conservation? That is absolutely ludicrous. You know that means no lunch, unless you bring it with you. And traffic signals? You see, this is proof, they are not being advised by academians or sceintists, they aren't asking the best methods, some CCP scoundrel issues edicts and the people suffer and their lives are put in danger by lunk headed rules that endanger everyone, under the guise of preservation.
What are hou preserving, how much energy is being saved?
It appears poor decisions are the rule in China and its the people that have to eat grass because of it. Honestly, bragging about eating grass as a means to do what? What is the message actually? Eating grass means you are tough? It means you are dumb and lazy because you can't catch any animals to eat, or pick fruits or catch fish. Eating grass? Indeed.

You may be right, But I do not see that. I see the CCP fearing a mas and unified populace. Homelessness, unemployment, people being laid of, and then unable to land a job, there are many thing associated with have a job, marriage, mortgage, bills etc. In China, losing a job is similar to losing life itself. We are talking millions. About 6 months ago and you will remember, bank would not allow customer to remove money from their account, and if they did if was confined to a certain amount. People became very angry at that and their confrontation with police in groups. Beijing see all, al over the country.

I don't know what you're laughing at, like what’s funny. You remember they had the Three Gorges Dam water releases?
Local government loosen water at night when no one knows. One day, it was raining like monsoon, and that combined with an early water released, combined again with the big dam water release, and the ground was saturated with water.
What happened was there was an underground traffic tunnel, a little more than a mile long. Water started filling the tunnel. People taking cell video when the water was around there ankle. The problem was traffic was stopped around the entrance, and cars inside the tunnels could not move. The people in the cars in the tunnel should have had a way to get to the top of the roadway above their heads, there was no drainage plan, this had never happened before.
As time went on and the water rose, people got back in their cars. People were taking video of the people stuck inside the tunnel. Everyone there knew what was happening. The people inside the tunnel were about to be drowned. There was no way to reach them and if they did not get out and run, and why would they, it never happened before, they had no clue the tunnel would fill with water to the tunnel roof. After that happen in the following days there was outrage.
I think they call their internet Weibo some video got out of the days after as the water receded enough for tow trucks to go in and get the cars out of the tunnel. Obviously there were bodies of the drowned in the cars and the government increased penalties for those seen taking videos outdoors. After the new law the people started to look out for people taking video outdoors.
A lot of information was getting out how the government were treating people badly. They was a program where the government came in a destroyed people's stoves, and destroyed their charcoal, and there was a question on how they were going to cook and stay warn, cell phone caught some of the times of the government destroying peoples charcoal and stoves.
In China, you can't show and thing that won't pass a sensor. They will find you and the police will arrest you if you put on the Weibo anything make the government look bad, but they do it anyway.
