Comments by "William Warren" (@wbwarren57) on "China Update" channel.

  1. Tony, can you explain in a video why the CCP suddenly instituted the “three redlines policy“? It seems to me, Admittedly a small brain short term week thinking Wessinger that the three red lines policy was put in place without nearly enough analysis and without sufficiently exploring alternatives to decreasing the bubble in real estate prices and, as a result, has left The CCP in a very precarious position economically? Are the big brain long game thinkers of the CCP so stupid to have sprung such a destructive policy on the country and the world without thinking it through? What is the “three redlines“ policy put in place by one faction in the CCP to try and punish another faction of the CCP? Here in the west we would call that cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face, The very height of stupidity.

  2. Killing people? The CCP has in the past killed tens of millions of people in order to stay in power. The only real question is if they have to kill more people to stay in power are they still willing to do it? The Soviet union killed tens of millions of people in its heyday, and then seemed to lose its will to continue to do so and it collapsed. The CCP is probably tired of killing people as well, but the historical lesson of the Soviet Union may persuade it to start killing millions once more.

  3. How much is the CCP charging for a shipping container full of Chinese slaves? I understand that the prices are very low right now unless of course you want enough food and water put in the container with the Chinese slaves to ensure that most of them will make it through the shipping process alive. Best thing is there’s no deposit on the slaves so if you work them to death, you don’t have to worry about returning them. All hail, the wise and loving leadership of Xi Jinping, and the CCP!

  4. The fact that the CCP is not reporting the number of COVID cases is perfectly reasonable! Just as farmers don't report the numbers of their cattle that have colds, the CCP is not reporting the numbers of its livestock (mistakenly called people by Western media) that have COVID! All hail the wise and loving leadership of Xi Jinping and the CCP!

  5.  @einfelder8262  True. But if we know where they are cheating currently AND the most, we can infer where they will adopt the stupidest policies! I guess we need a "bigness of lie" unit of measure here. Any suggestions? For example "whoppers"? We could rate the lies asa "whoppers (for an ordinary lie)", "milli-whoppers (for a small one)", "mega-whoppers (for the normal CCP-sized lied)", etc.

  6. Mortgage default handling? How will the CCP handle people who default on their mortgages because they have lost their jobs due to Covid or other reasons? If born as default is severely punished, then I would think that the Chinese people will be very slow to go back to investing in real estate because of the obvious danger that it might ruin your life if you happen to default on your mortgage.

  7. Xi Jinping should remember that nothing is uglier and more despicable and more transparently evil than a CCP that does not have enough money to convince good people to turn a blind eye to their crimes.

  8. The lockdowns are working!!! The lockdowns are causing so much damage to the Chinese economy and so much outrage among the Chinese people that they are bringing the day when the CCP is overthrown closer and faster than anything else I can think of! All hail the lockdowns! The lockdowns may indeed save China, not from Covid but from a even worse scourge, the CCP!

  9. Summary: CCP says (while casting a very fearful and subservient eye toward Xi Jinping) that the CCP economy is doing just fine! All the important people in China (in other words, all the CCP members) are well fed and enjoying every luxury possible. Non-CCP members don’t count at all and when they starve or die, they aren’t counted by the CCP at all.

  10.  @ChinaUpdate  Thank you! Great reply! By the way, the Boston Globe is reporting that based on wastewater data Boston may be already passed its peak on the omicron variant.

  11. How are the CCP parasites continuing to feed themselves in a time when the Chinese economy, the Chinese workforce, and the Chinese real estate market are all headed in negative directions? I have no doubt the CCP officials at all levels are not missing a single meal, nor lacking for a single luxury. However, the question remains where are high level CCP parasites feeding on the economy in the central government and in the provinces and are the low level CCP parasites, feeding directly on the population by stealing from them, imposing, heavy fines, etc.?

  12. Summary: Tony takes a brief break from faithfully repeating the propaganda of the CCP to assure us that he is in no way controlled by the CCP. Does Tony really believe what he saying?

  13.  @gtw4546  During WW2 there was an Englishman who was known as Lord Haw-Haw (real name, William Joyce) who broadcast Nazi propaganda from Germany. After the war was over, the British arrested him, tried him, and hung him as a traitor. I don't believe they hung him for BELIEVING Nazi propaganda, but for just helping to disseminate it. Australia and New Zealand share a lot of attitudes with the British. If the CCP starts a war and Australia and New Zealand suffer as a result, I'm not sure what reception Tony will receive afterward. One question that might arise is why the CCP - which has zero tolerance for criticism - did not arrest Tony themselves.

  15.  @gtw4546  True. Let's hope New Zealand authorities share your view.

  16. Why publish this, Tony? You know that every number published by the CCP that you report here is a lie. Why publish it?

  17. Summary: Western investment banks try desperately to normalize the idea that CP investments are safe for Western investors, so that western investment banks can make huge amounts of transaction fees. At the same time, Western investment Banks are fleeing the CCP and moving their personnel to safety as fast as they can.

  18. Watch out! Reporting on the hidden debt MAY caused the CCP to come after you, but it will DEF,INITELY cause the large Western investment banks, such as Goldman Sachs, JP, Morgan, Chase, Black rock, black water, black, soot, black, crystal, etc. to come after you with a vengeance! The large, western investment banks, are not gonna let anybody stand in the way of them, convincing foolish western investors to pour more money into the sink hole. That is the CCP.
    1
  19. Why do we think the CCP is telling the truth about any of this? Why aren’t they merely ignoring this and covering it up? It seems highly uncharacteristic of the CCP to actually admit that there is Covid in cities where they can’t afford for there to be Covid.

  20. Summary: When Xi Jinping thinks, the Chinese economy stinks! CCP arrests Chinese capitalists, chases more Western investment out of China, and impotently rattles sabers. Don't worry about Tony (Lord Ha Ha) - as a loyal devotee of Xi Jinping thought and propagandist for the CCP he is safe - unless he somehow offends "she jump pig" (Xi Jinping) of course.

  21.  @hagdore  Yes, I have run into the term used extensively before. My question is is there a way to measure the quality of hi rise construction in China and make predictions as to when it’s going to start falling down.

  22.  @sabrekai8706  You are right and I am so sorry for wasting your time. I am just a small brain, short-term, weak thinking Westerner and, as such, of course I don't understand how the destruction of China's environment and the poisoning and defrauding of its people fits into the deep, subtle, genius plans of the CCP's big brain, long-term, genius thinkers. Do you have any suggestions for how I can bow down and worship the CCP's big brain, long-term, genius thinkers so that they will continue their current deep, subtle, genius policies that will eventually pay off - even if China becomes an unlivable toxic waste dump and its people are impoverished and start dying in droves? Some of my small brain, short-term, weak thinking Westerners believe that the very best thing we in the West can do to help the CCP to destroy China is to help keep the CCP's current big brain, long-term, genius thinkers in control, but that cannot be right! Right?

  23. CCP coming loss of face POST WINTER OLYMPICS!!! If the CCP thinks that delaying the Winter Olympics would cause them to lose face, just wait until AFTER the Winter Olympics when the (admittedly entitled, pampered, worshipped) athletes go back home and begin telling the world the truth about the insane and ineffective zero COVID practices forced on them by the CCP! Unlike the Chinese people living under the boot heel of the CCP, the returning elite athletes will be able to tell the truth about how horrible the repeated invasive testing was, how needlessly restrictive the rules were, how close the surveillance was, what a terrible experience it all was and - in all probability - how they met Chinese officials who suddenly disappeared without a trace because they had apparently contracted COVID themselves. After the Winter Olympics, whenever the western media reports on the zero COVID lockdowns and other measures of the CCP, poignant snippets of these interviews will be run over and over again to show the West how insane the CCP is and how terrible it is for the Chinese people crushed under their authoritarian rules. Of couse, the tone deaf CCP officials and their (crazy) woof warriors will say how grateful the Chinese people are for the CCP zero COVID measures but they will be ridiculed as liars and made into laughing stocks!!!

  24. Summary: CCP, economic data mixed. CCP urges Israel and Hamas to make peace as the CCP continues, its harsh preemptive attacks verging on genocide on its own Muslim population.

  25. Thank you, thank you, thank you Xi Jinping and the CCP for your lockdown policy! Every city that you lock down with your stupid and completely ineffective policy provides more incentive for Western companies to move their operations and supply chains out of China and out of the control of the corrupt CCP! Thank you, thank you, thank you! All hail the leadership of Xi Jinping and the CCP!

  26. Summary: CCP pledges that the propaganda, censorship, unemployment, beatings, wealth theft, arrests, imprisonment, starvation, and executions will continue until the morale and confidence of the Chinese people improves. Yes, the CCP stole the old western joke, but lacking any other ideas, they’ve turned it into their policy. Collapse of the BRI proves that the CCP is so repugnant that it can’t even buy the friendship of other countries with huge amounts of money.

  27. Summary: CCP makes token financial and military efforts designed to fool people into thinking that it is solving its financial woes, and that it has real military muscle. Tony reports on the “tremendous advances“ in CCP ideology, as if they were more than just new sets of words for Chinese people to mouth correctly or else face persecution by the CCP. Frankly, I’m beginning to worry that Tony really thinks that Xi Jinping thought is more than just a smokescreen for a dictatorship to use in oppressing its subjects.

  28. Suggested Video: Why Did Xi Jinping Impose the "3 Red Lines" Policy? As a small-brain, short-term, weak thinking, fundamentally-corrupt bourgeois Westerner, I don't understand why the big-brain, long-game, mystically-powered, genius-thinkers of the CCP suddenly imposed the "3 Red Lines" policy?!? As a small-brain, short-term, weak-thinking, fundamentally corrupt bourgeois Westerner, what I think gave rise to the "3 Read Lines" policy that is now endangering the very existence of the CCP includes: 1. The CCP policy makers did not have adequate accurate information about the real financial situation of the Chinese real estate sector either because they were too lazy to go get or because the CCP had allowed for so much systematic corruption to thrive at all levels of Chinese government and business that the data was impossible to get. 2. If the CCP policy makers DID have the data (even if only a potion of it) then they did little or no analysis about the likely outcomes of imposing the "3 Red Lines" policy and cutting the Chinese real estate sector off from more borrowing that would have allowed them to cover up their precarious financial situation. 3. The CCP policy makers fastened onto the "3 Red Lines" policy to indulge their fascination with policies that look good on a bumper sticker and include a number in the name. 4. The CCP policy makers showed little or no imagination in different approaches to reducing the real estate bubble. For example, they could have quietly worked with the real estate companies to sell off non-core assets and businesses (while these were still attractive to other investors), speed up the completion of their building projects so they could access any escrow funds, and help them to do limited borrowing to refinance/restructure the most urgent debt repayments to avoid a huge loss in international investor confidence. 5. The CCP policy makers in the Xi Jinping faction imposed the "3 Red Lines" policy to embarrass and destroy the rival CCP factions with little or no regard to what the collapse of the Chinese real estate sector would do to endangering China and the CCP as a whole. Please help me understand! As a small-brain, short-term, weak-thinking, fundamentally corrupt bourgeois Westerner I want to bow down and - nay, kneel down and kowtow - to the big-brain, long-game, mystically-powered, genius thinkers of the CCP and surrender totally, abjectly, and apologetically but until I can understand the true genius of the "3 Red Lines" policy, I must admit I am hesitating - and for that I am truly very, very, very sorry and deserving of punishment!

  29. Summary: Optimistic CCP bets heavily in Las Vegas against return of “she jump pig“ (Xi Jinping) from San Francisco. New book details how western investment banks make billions of dollars of profit by falsely encouraging Western investors to foolishly throw their money into the sinkhole of the CCP economy. CCP threatens the world with the ethnic bio weapons that It is developing by expressing fears that other countries might be developing them. Tony faithfully repeating the “CCP fears“ helps spread the CCP threat worldwide.

  30.  @thomasherrin6798  So, increased consumer demand may not be the good sign of a strong Chinese economic recovery the investment bankers who are hungry to plow my money into China are hoping for?

  31.  @brucetownsend691  Of course, I agree with your comment, but the key issue that you mention in prep passing is “if they continued to be paid”. From the reports I read, there are many professions in China that were forced to continue working during the pandemic, but were not continued to be paid and looking at the current economic situation of the local and central governments, there’s some real doubt if they ever will be paid.

  32.  @YourHineyness  Very, very true. I do have to admit that so far the CCP does not seem to engaging in mass executions the way Stalin was fond of doing (though I'm sure they are doing a goodly number behind closed doors. ) But that may just be a measure of how effective their censorship is.

  33. Summary: threatening all of your neighbors, does that make them friendly! The CCP is shocked to learn that wolf warrior diplomacy has not forced all of their neighboring countries to become friendly to China! Who would’ve thought?

  34.  @Leshic2  Well said.

  35.  @rndmvar  You may be right. It is definite, however, that the only real people in China are the CCP members. The rest of the Chinese "people" are just the livestock of the CCP. Talking about food insecurity for livestock (or pets) makes no sense. Unless, and until the CCP starts starving, there is no such thing as people in China facing food insecurity!

  36.  @jamesdallas1493  That's why their system is so superior to those of the West!!!

  37. Summary: the CCP will allow its people (the Chinese little people) to travel to the west and spend their personal savings as long as the west will buy more worthless CCP debt to refinance the existing worthless CCP debt. China focused hedge funds in the west are working very hard (in other words, telling very big lies) to convince western investors that the CCP debt is not worthless. Good luck! However, we must remember what PT Barnum said that there is a sucker western investor born every minute.

  38. Tony, “Good news” about CCP economy all propaganda? The statistics that you report about the CCP economy are encouraging, but are there any independent verification of these numbers or are they just more numbers sourced exclusively from the fantasy data factory of the CCP? I.e., are they just more propaganda?

  39. Ideological struggle? The CCP has an ideology apart from stealing as much money as possible?

  41.  @Eliastion  Seems to me that the CCP Emperor SheJumpPig has recently learned of that classic Western saying: "The beatings, censorship, fines, penalties, disappearances, arrests, trials, imprisonment, torture, organ harvesting, and execution will continue until the financial analysts improve their view of the CCP economy!"

  42.  @willywonka4340  I think the CCP at this point is using a two-stage rocket design for its plans. The first stage, the booster is totally used up and expended, and is designed to fall into the atmosphere where it will burn up and die. The second stage, however, ascends into orbit and can remain there indefinitely safe. In this analogy, the great majority of the Chinese people are the booster. They will remain in China, where they will be settled with huge amounts of debt, crumbling, infrastructure, no healthcare and eventually no food. The second stage is the CCP. The CCP will be lifted into orbit or, in reality into the west where their money will keep them safe indefinitely. If you look at it, two-stage rocket, the booster is much larger than the second stage. 95% of the Chinese people will be left in China where they will starve and die. The CCP, the small fraction of Chinese people will be lifted into eternal bliss. So, this is not a death spiral for China. It’s more of a path to heaven for the CCP who are the only people in China who count. The CCP considers the Chinese people to be cockroaches, and the CCP doesn’t even bother to count how many Chinese people die just like no one counts how many cockroaches you step on climb the mountain.

  43. Steel industry: yet another reason to find, arrest, imprison, torture, kill, organ harvest mortgage boycotters. Terrorizing mortgage boycotters into paying their mortgages again will be welcome by the vast majority of the Chinese people (also known as the livestock of the CCP). Terrorizing mortgage boycotters into paying your mortgages again will stabilize the real estate industry, stabilize provincial finances, and lead to more demand for Steel to finish buildings (perhaps). All hail the wise and loving leader ship of Xi Jinping and the CCP! boycotters who are traitors to Xi Jinping and the CCP!

  44. Summary: CCP uses new Huawei phone to kick off a world leading state of the art tech investment fund that will enable the CCP to embezzle and waste more money than any other tech fund ever created!

  45. Question about Taiwan: given that China seems set on eventually invading Taiwan, do you see any indications that the Taiwanese economy and especially its high tech component are being “hollowed out“ or moved overseas? Right now, the Taiwanese semiconductor Industry is of a major importance to the US and western Europe. Given this fact, I would think that the United States and Western Europe would be very interested in trying to lessen their dependence on the Taiwan semiconductor industry.

  46. Tony!!! Once again you are helping to further CCP propaganda. In this video you report on investment opportunities in CCP controlled markets as if the markets run by the CCP are like those in other countries - but they are not. In markets (stock, debt, real estate, etc.) controlled by the CCP, the CCP can prevent investors from buying or selling what and when they want or even confiscate their holding with investors having little or no recourse under any types of laws. Though restrictions and even confiscations happen in other countries, these instances are rare and usually investors have ample recourse under local laws to challenge it. In CCP markets, these inventions by the CCP have and will continue to occur frequently. In the future if you are going to report on CCP controlled markets, please mention these caveats and risks.

  47. The CCP must be in a very bad way, if Wall Street can no longer find enough lipstick to put on the pig and make it attractive to foreign investors.

  48. Summary: CCP buys “strategic” pork to keep prices high. Since this will inflict suffering on normal Chinese people, the only reason I can think of that the CCP is doing this is to put more money into their own pockets by keeping the farms that the CCP owns profitable. As Marie Antoinette would say “let the starving people eat artificially, high-priced, pork“!
    1
  49. “Approval for wholly owned fund managers“? Tony, you are once again repeating CCP propaganda! The CCP could reverse this “wholly-owned approval“ anytime it wants. What are the “wholly-owned financial firms going to do “, go to the courts?

  50.  @lip124  True. I feel very sorry for the Chinese people. The CCP treats them less well than a farmer treats his/her livestock.
