  2. 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.

  3. It has already happened. All revolts are policed immediately. There as many police as demonstrators and protesters. Also remember the number of people in China, and they are a huge counttry, everything is not the same everywhere. Taking videos has become banned, so what we see are people taking risks to there freedom to take public videos. At night, in the department store, in the factory, where police are unlikely to see, or where people may not report them.

  4. Respectfully, I want to say that was an extremely good report. I glad it did not stray to far from the essence of the story. I admit I did not understand some of it, and I will have to listen again. I think however, a very good job was done this time. Thank you. China should should coose the path of peace.

  5. 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.

  6. The final tone of this story seem to intimate that LI Keqiang, was ineeffective in his power as premier. I question as he was most like the smartest educator in the CCP whan it came to economics. I am convinced he was the leadership behind the China miraclw while it lasted. Whjo could have on a national level guided China in its golden days of economic world domination?

  8.  @tireiron7500  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.

  9. A magnificant report. Well done. Thank you.

  10. As a suggestion, perhaps the CCP can divert from the military buildup to the provinces that need money to operate the buses. China is not at war, so diverting war money should be a smart thing in the short term. How are people to travel without buses. What is the CCP doing during this emergency situation? Taking naps? And the big finance smuck that says it's your baby carry, referring to the local debt, I seem to remember the government encouraging the risk-taking. Noe because CCP China became inhospitable everybody left and took all the factories with them. that didn't help, and the sad this is they are not coming back. I do not understand why Chinese people are such a low priority to the central government?

  11. I think it is known cina does not post it's real economy numbers. There are ways to estimate it, but this lack of transparancy is causing the CCP's down fall.

  12. China Observer, you do a real good job reporting on important issues. There is a China issue that has me perplexed with the economic maladies the Chins suffers from today. Over the say, past 5 years, China has been purchasing Gold. In 2024 I think China made a huge purchase of 250, 000 tons of Gold supposedly, as support of the BRICS project. I don't understand why that great amount of Gold cannot be used to solve unemployment and many other issues. I think it would interesting for China Observer to do a report on China gold purchases and it's gold reserves and how it could those portions of the Chinese people that are being negatively disaffected,

  13. I have llsitened to Hcina for a long time, and they sound like they are ready to take on the US. After listening to this rprt,it sems to me, china should wnat be friends and stop thinking about using a military that really isn't top notch. The story of the sumariners fear of punishment for farting, l;eading to them not eating was particularly startling. They could collapse and lose consciousness right in the middle of a manuver and they might at the control wheel! Then what? I remember when I first learned that submarines are built air tight. Machines are needed 24/7 to produce oxygen for people to breathe. My opinion, China shold learn to become a pacful country for their own good.

  14. Not intrusive inspection but, hardened regulation that will dictate the disposition of said property...without compensation. What is odd i watching the full workforce of thee government, while listening to there being 700M being unable to find work, and seeing people finding shelter outdoors. Places where the homeless can find somewhere comfortable are being taken away. In the US some states do make anti-people architecture. You can sit but no laying down. I am thinking more and more everyday people should be allowed to think it is OK to not have shelter, that sleeping on the ground like animals is OK for humans.

  18. I was just thinking about that, there is no civil alert sometimes, I think places that experience these kinds of floods every year may have sirens. Like Beijing never has this happen so there they may have been caught unaware.

  19.  @ravenalbj  I think you are correct and that would explain a great deal. So, I was listening to a Washington politician, and he has no idea about what the CCP should do. I think he should have a lesson like you just gave to understand who he is dealing with because they don't have a clue.

  21. 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;.

  22. True, and there is a plot behind every door, that is growing every day. They only need know who will ensure they are paid.

  23. Very interesting story on how China supports blacks with scholarships and financial aid. I can remember a time not so long ago black students were being evicted without reason and just because they were black. So, it has changed? Good if it has. Chinese people should not compare themselves to Black people who get stipends. China is making an investment that in the future they may chose someone familiar with education and methods to help them with a problem.

  24. You see, the reasons are different. Manfacturing jobs left America because manufacturers did not want to pay an American level wage, and took there act to China where people made like $50 dollars a day. Foriegn manufactuers left CCP China because of the overrgulated authoritarian totalitarianism, and over bearing nature of the CCP.

  25. 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?

  26. is it any coincidence America has become such a lying, deceptive fraudulent county with these misdirecting Chinese undertones,. They do this to rip off money from the stock market and they get help from money-grubbing Wall Streeters who post their lying deceiving IPOs so they can get a cut of the millions that are raised. It is sad these p[people are trusted and the people who invest in these Chinese companies do not succeed in the long run. The CCP can shut them down in an instant and all investment is lost because they are not who they say they are, they are no recourse for law enforcement.

  32. Why does no one ask the CCP why the economy is so depressed. The Prresident bought thousand of tons of gold in the past few years. China is not poor. Why doesn't that be used to drive it's economy?

  33. Very good and quite comprehensive. It's amazing China is war-rattling and building its military and creating a new currency reserve. Everything I see about China's negative economy seems to be not the case, despite the evidence just presented. I think the sad part is China does not understand or care its fortune has changed. And to that fact, I will not waste time cataloging the issues bringing them to their current economic state. It seems the world is going to through a period when all everyone's leadership is poor, wrong-headed decisions are being made left and right, and are supported by the groups these individuals have as political backers. A crushing number of numbskulls are unable to pave the way for peace in humanity and the use of prosperity to the benefit and health of all people. How long this will last I do not know, I only know it should change.

  36. 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.

  37. 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.

  38. 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.

  39.  @ourfarmhouseinspain  I am responding to your last comment which does not appear here now. Everything you say is true, what is not talkes is the purge XI have done to the leadership ranks of the CCP. XI was very fear during the height of the last banking crisis about a year or so ago. people were feeling uprising over the shenanigans. It does not cease to surprise me how smart Chinese people, yet the find themselves in these mind bending economic problems. Everything runs through the CCP thus, you can't trust anything, because everything is a state secret. I read a few years ago that some economic iinfromation has to be true, as China works with the World Bank and they demand truth in reporting. In other words in one of the few places you might trust information you see. We have another situation in Mexico. china spent considerable fund building a electric car factory. Trump says not one car will they sell into the USA. I think we both know these cars are gong to make it in to the US on a 100% tariff and everyone is going to make a lot of money.

  40.  @codyandrex152  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.

  41. I think the CCP should stop moaning about the USA protecting itself from the unfriendliness of the CCP. When the daughter of Husway was arrested in Canada for evasion of the rules, her father spoke directly to Zi to get his daughter free. China's law is all companies are subservient to the the CCP military and the MSS. They go around the world appropriating intellectual property, using any of its countries assets to get the properties. America has a right to deny any country whose behavior is so lawless that they are unworthy to use America technology.

  42. An excellent economic report. The nfuture of world domination today. I was struck by the Contrast of the unemployed homeless sleeping at the railroas station and the traffic in the department stores. Would it be safe to assume those we see at the department stoes are the CCP class folks the ones with jobs and money?

  43.  @nexe9468  You know it is funny you bring that up. I live in NJ USA and a decade or two ago, we had a massive fire under a major highway called Rt. 280. What happened was the was a junkyard under the section of the bridge and somehow a fire started. Now apparently, because this section of highway was kind of in the boondocks, no one on the highway, and no one under it noticed the smoke and fire for a long time. Long story short, the heat from the fire melted the bridge enough for part of it to sink about six inches. Needless to say, after the fire was discovered and put out the problem remained of resuming normal traffic that was not possible currently. So, Rt. 280 was down for at least a month. I worked for the Dept. of Transportation and had the unfortunate happenstance to drive over the burned section from the raised side. I didn't see the bridge had sunk. BOOM!! Scared the hell outta me I didn't know what happened. I stopped and got out of the truck and saw the bridge was lower on one side. That didn't happen again, but once was enough. My point in the story was perhaps, a sprinkler system should have been designed under the bridge where there was something that could burn and affect the bridge.

  44. Is America following China's model of discrimination? What people over 45 don't need shelter or food? It seems like this report is teaching rather than reporting. Should American lobaor fillow China's model of employment? America has a robust economy, high inflation and high prices but, people can find work. china sshouldn't be followed as a model for anyhing, except maybe expensive fancy infrastructure that looks awesome and serve the people that have access to it, but that's it. China has many depp problems. Discrimination against its people is but one.

  45. Hey don't forget they were the bnig shots a while ago, the richest growing economy who then decided we are so good at collecting money, why don't we decide to make ourselves the bosses of everybody! Fair play? Who needs that? Everyone will do just as we say. Only everybody said no, we've had enough of you and we are leaving and they left, and theb took their factories and employmen to places like Viet Nam. So, unemployed now homeless chinese, becuase of big shot CCP bosses. These same people living large were fullyb supportive of their bully governent and none had the idea this would happen, but never forget Xi made it happen. He shut the entire cuontry down after ther end of the world pandemic and that crushed a lot in internal Chinese busineses. It was done on purpose. And then The CCP re-elects the guy and they are in economic quicksand without a rescue plan. So, you'll hear about these BRICS countries taking the place of the US Dollar? Not any time soon. China and Russia are economic messes.

  46. I find it quite odd as CP China is in dire financial straits Joe Biden decides now to give aid and comfort. First, he sends Blinken who I cannot believe a word he says. then other officials from Biden's White House including Treasury Secretary Yellin, one can only imagine what corrupt sticking deal will be made with Zing and that CCP. Now is not the time to be mending fences. What kind of corrupt shenanigans is Biden up to now with his pals in Beijing? We will need to keep a close eye on any deals by Biden. Biden loves to set billions of American dollars free to his friend, so lookout for Beijing getting a couple of billions from their buddy Joe.

  48. I have been a critic of the CCP, and I listened to the economic problems, dutifully, but news of a merger a people's from Africa? Absolutely stunning. Now as this is the first I am hearing of it, and knowing historical China and its relationship with darker skinned people, I think this amazing. China is well known for its long term planning, and the idea of all the empty buildings being full of people and China prospering again? I am not against that, only the stringentness on the controlling doctrines the CCP uses to protect its society. I would think that some of that has be relaxed to succeed in the endeavor of a merger of people. I find this very interesting I will look for information going forward on the projects progress.

  49. Very good report. In my opinion, I don't know who the National Statistics office thinks they are fooling but aren't helping China with false, misleading statistical data on the country's economy. That is Zi's responsibility, perhaps they need new leadership. Thank goodness there is Loa Man on the job for the country showing more credible numbers that indicate a more truthful situation than the government's number. So, they have this big meeting you have to ask what are they basing their suppositions on the National Statistics office numbers, if so, they are are going make some very bad decisions going forward.

  50. This is a damning indictment on the elderly chinese folks. Zero scruples. stealing water from students? Oh, that terrible. I iwas so shocked they look just like the looters and robbers who don't pay in America, but at least America has a law, it doesn't amount to much, and the police don't respond to looting, but at least in America we know its wrong. And the Fishcapade terrible. I don't understand what the guy was trying to do, but he needed a whole lot of security, plus how is the citizen got to the fish before he did? In America they saying is the early bird gets the worm, I guess in China the early elderly get the big fish!
