  1. That would give them, an incredible world perception boost.

  2. If we ignore current human rights abuses. The Uighur’s will soon be gone, and Tibetans a tourist attraction. While organ transplants, stays at a vigorous pace. How’s Peng Shuai doing? Is she free?

  3. Also elite capture, in the South Pacific, South America, and Africa. Asia too.

  4. When you have your feet in the fire. What can you say? I support more coal burning, and work camps!!

  5. This is where central planning hits the road. It’s failing hard and fast? Switch unrestricted, to kinetic warfare.

  6. How embarrassing, the new leaders are. For the residents, of Hong Kong.

  7. Crypto investments, should NOT have political risk, as a foundation.

  8. Of course the authorities, have a better idea of the stats. All the data, is filtered through them. We only see, what they want us to see.

  9. If there is money and pride involved? Match fixing in China, not possible!!

  10.  @brucetownsend691  There’s more to it, than that. China gets control, of the assets. By running it, and bringing in its own police. Regardless of loan payback. Colonialism 2.0

  11.  @gtw4546  A failing economy, and rising domestic discontent, is reason enough.

  12. This is really serious. But we can’t see it. Home based business, are crucial economically.

  13. The Chinese people have had enough, forge the soul, already. It’s too bad, they don’t know it. Go to Taiwan, they didn’t go through the Mao years, of soul forging. They are a wonderful people.

  14. Or, did the growth end around 2019?

  15. Could be why, Elon is mastering, boot licking. With his horrible comments, on Taiwan.

  16. How ridiculous. An inquiry into the origins, of a world wide epidemic. Or, genocide, or pollution, or human rights, or WW fishing fleet, or organ harvesting, or mass surveillance, etc.

  17. The regulators should be most afraid of, a China compromised Elon buying TT.

  18. It goes full circle. Increasing, the already massive, coal burning. Creates more pollution, and warming. Sounds like a, lose lose, proposition.

  19. Talking nice, doesn’t change the intent. Are they still building two new coal plants a week. Building up the military. Harassing Taiwan. Forced assimilation in the occupied territories. In Philippine waters. Fishing the world’s oceans. Mass surveillance, of its own people, and the world. Are party members still way more privileged, than ordinary citizens? The new official map, tells it all.

  20. Industry subsidies is only the start. Lax, environmental standards, labour standards, coal power, and we subsidize their shipping. No need for RnD, when it’s stolen, and copied.

  21.  @irishpicker7295  You missed the point. China acting this way, is potentially fatal for the world. A world war, would kill us faster, than their coal burning.

  22.  @googacct  Yes, very unfortunate. You give in to a bully, you get more bullying. It’ll take a complete collapse, to cause enough infighting. For the CCP to lose its grip on power.

  23. Tighten control, is something you don’t want to hear, from any government anywhere.
    1
  24. Or, destroy the world. Before they, destroy themselves.
    1
  25. Genuinely believing they have sovereignty over Philippine waters, is impossible. They genuinely believe, they can bully a smaller power into relenting.

  26. Love the hypocrisy. Cut important failsafe ties, with your chosen adversary. Because someone visited, another country. Then blame your foe.

  27.  @gringo1723  The Cold War writer. Which story? I'm just referring to. Xi encouraging Putin to throw his army at Ukraine. While they rewrite maps, to include more of their neighbours. Pushing everyone's physical boundaries.  With all it's resources, water, and land, Russia must look pretty yummy, to the CCP.

  28. Provoke till, you started it!!

  29. If China was awesome, like Taiwan. They themselves, and all of their neighbours. Would not need to be, in an arms race. Those resources, could go into, reducing coal use, and other beneficial pursuits.

  30. If there is a conflict? The CCP is in our algorithms, institutions, media, politics, boardrooms. Their killing us pollution, is in all the products we buy.

  31. Ha, hopefully he doesn’t get old. We don’t want another Mao.

  32. Turn against elites!!! Too funny. Trump’s cabinet will all be, self interested billionaires. Hurry, cut corporate taxes!!! We don’t have it all!!!

  33.  @Leshic2  Take a look into, western countries subsidizing postal and shipping rates. It’s killing our businesses. The guys over at, Surpentza, and Lauwhy86, have a good review of it.
    1
  34.  @Leshic2  Wow, we are so under water. You can say anything about a western leader/institution. But nothing, that reveals C,,,, leadership, for what they are doing, to us, and their own. With mass AI, coming on stream. We have to sort this out, fast.
    1
  35.  @Leshic2  It sounds cathartic, for those stifled voices, and a bit of fun. I don’t speak or read pinyin, or mandarin. The great translation movement, needs more coverage. We only get the propaganda version, and don’t even know it.

  36. Maybe they are, glorious organ donor now.

  37.  @brucetownsend691  My concern is selfish. These paranoid old men. Have chosen to be anti, not Han. While building out their military, and nuclear arsenal.

  38. Begs the question, how and why, is China a member?

  39. I’d be pissed if I were Afghan. Everyone wants to control us. Now China wants our resources. While killing our cousins.

  40.  @skydragon23101979  There is an international postal organization, that sets rates. So that poor people in developing nations, have access to a postal service. While those in richer countries, pay more, to cover the difference. Try mailing a $5 item, to someone nearby. It’ll cost $3. Order it from China, it’s free. Even if it uses a western postal service. It’s the same for a westerner, sending something from China. The rate is sky high. China cries poverty, when there is an advantage, to be gained. It’s devastating for our small businesses.

  41. It makes sense, to report high infection rates. To then turn and say, it’s over.

  42. Get free trade agreements, with Taiwan. So they aren’t beholden to the CCP, like Elon is.
    1
  43. With the economy going down. The ruling gangster’s, would love to create a distraction.
    1
  44. If anyone has any doubts about whether the CCP has benevolent and peaceful intentions. Check on the recent military exercises against Taiwan. (And all of China’s other border states)

  45. The new bosses, are so embarrassing. For the good people of Hong Kong.
    1
  46. That’s an assumption. I bet these human rights watch groups run by exiles. Are very lean, because it’s personal.
    1
  47.  @wetsox278  Exactly. They are different places, with different people. As an example, of what is possible. Taiwan is the hope, for a better China. As long as China can define the narrative, by saying reunification. It will feel like it is a truth.
    1
  48. And Taiwan. Freedom for Tibet. Freedom for East Turkestan.

  49. Elon, just made horrible remarks, about Taiwan. He is boot licking, for market access. Not my kind of hero.

  50. Russia paying back its allies. Has launched satellites for Iran and North Korea. While getting trump and maga to backtrack on anti TikTok and China.
