  1. Two of my wife’s Beijing girlfriends, died of lung cancer. Bet they aren’t in the stats, just like the official Covid numbers.

  2. I’m sure Mr Kissinger, has been the most well meaning. While being played. My ex father in-law, may be the same. He is an old wealthy man. Who is extremely loyal, to anyone who praises him. Many, have taken full advantage, of this trait. Good old elite capture, is a CCP favourite.

  3. The scary part is. As the domestic issues mount. The chance of a kinetic war, to rally the population, increases.

  4. We can still trade things. Just not important things.

  5. The world..

  6. All this blustering, and military build up. The answer is really simple. If Beijing brings its military home, and focuses on its own domestic problems. Becomes a peaceful, personal rights respecting nation. It may get more of what it wants. The rest of the world, would stop feeling threatened. We could all, focus on more positive things.

  7. Don’t become, an outspoken tennis star, or tech girl.

  8. It works, we are too scared, to stand up properly for Taiwan.

  9. Being subject to an adult tantrum, is soul crushing. As a result, we avoid conflict with them. So they can triumphantly, do more shit. That becomes the norm.

  10. Developing targeted ethnic bio weapons, is particularly nasty. But why not, if live organ donation is ok.

  11. The Tibetan’s would love to freely practice their politics culture language and religion. Without interference, from an occupier.

  12. Communicate this desire, to the sellers of these products, and to your politicians. There is no benefit buying Chinese EV’s of solar panels. As long as they are aggressively increasing coal burning, and have horrible human rights policy.

  13. Property bubble is too big. Too big. Too big. Too big. OhOh, inflate, inflate!!!

  14. Africa, South America, South Pacific islands, Asia.

  15. Where’s Peng Shuai? Where’s chained up peasant woman?

  16. Both sides!! Is this a deflection?

  17.  @zzbeasley  Iv'e been to China, not going back, anytime soon. I've been to HK, hope I can go back, some day. Just went to Taiwan, It's a gem, so clean, and the people are amazing. It's a high trust society, really cool. The CCP can never get off it's ego trip. But for all our sakes, I'm praying it can. Of course the west isn't perfect, but at least we can talk about it. Try to do better.

  18.  @zzbeasley  Yes, so much there. We don't have a problem, with the Chinese people themselves. It is an interesting place too. Just not safe, right now.  Make sure your political rep, understands the dangers.

  19. Deflection.

  20. Those holiday travel numbers, are compared to, last year, not pre W Flu. So, could be, much more dramatic.

  21. They just want us, to send them money. They will have to appear, to be win win, to get the bigger fish.

  22.  @jaydee6268 Two China policy doesn’t make sense. China is China. Taiwan is Taiwan. Even though it has Chinas opposition party. Tibet is Tibet. Even though its government is in exile.

  23. My wife is visiting there now. She says it doesn’t feel good there any more. Like the iron curtain is lowering. 🦨💩🍯

  24. What they tragically fail to understand is that, nobody wants to be Chinas enemy. Just be like Taiwan, be awesome.

  25. If you want authentic Chinese culture. Taiwan is a far better choice. They didn’t suffer the i indignity of 75 years of shame, and the four olds.

  26. If you want indignant. Catch a thief!

  27. The bs, is thick with this one. Great Chinese culture? Try, before the cultural revolution, that set out to destroy it.

  28. I’m not implying that they have any.

  29. A brave man, for the people.

  30. Invisible china, sounds like an interesting book.

  31. The CCP, brings nations together, like no other organization ❤

  32.  @pjacobsen1000  Good point. Though, he did say it requires the selling of bonds, to finance it. If no one shows up, to the bond auction?

  33. I think it still needs mentioning. Our western media still trusts most government data, and reports on it as given. While what comes out of China, is the most manipulated. Do we hear about the massive build out of coal burning, the fishing fleet, work camps, live organ donors. Realistic Covid death numbers, etc, etc.

  34. Beijing has an outbreak right now. My wife’s sister just got the W-flu, and she knows other people who also have. August 2023.

  35. Banning them, spreads harmful and negative information.

  36. It’s a handy coincidence, that the cable repair company is Chinese.

  37. Myanmar, what a tragedy. All they did, was have an election.

  38. If they we’re awesome like Taiwan. It wouldn’t be a problem.

  39. As long as adequate deterrents and defences, are put in place.

  40.  @jaydee6268 The problem is, they are at war with us. But we don’t know it.

  41. Lei, did a good analysis, of the missing Qin Gang.

  42.  @Mattsta2010  The 5000 years superiority card, is such a farce. If they weren’t warring factions, someone else was invading them. When my Chinese friends, triumphantly mention 5000 years. I say, same as anywhere else. There were native people here, with their cultures. For 10’s of thousands of years, before colonization. And they are still here.

  43. And the rampage with a cement truck guy, a few days ago.

  44. I’m sure Hong Kong’er’s, are quite embarrassed. By those, who now represent them.

  45. Well said.

  46. Good thing they outlawed poverty, last year. That must be helping.

  47. Very revealing interview, with a CCP spokesperson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmYdpHtOv_E&t=0s

  48. Those leading growth rates, are already based on false info. So why not now, and future ones.

  49. If China wants to help Russia. They could save many lives. By pressuring Putin, to send his young men home. End this madness. But no, China has to always show an aggressive face. Like a scared dog.

  50. 5% more proclamations, from the emperor, and the party.
