What I mostly got is that the CCP dictates every aspect of its citizens' lives and there is very little upward mobility for the masses.

They suppress all unwanted info and practices and will put you in a gulag or kill you for deviating.

For China's Covid lockdown? They sealed the doors to the apartment buildings.
 
This is an actual Chinese citizen who was a journalist.


May I ask you a question? What is the purpose of your thread?

Hopefully there is something in their about the leadership making sure that they have the broad consent of the people, and how everyone is pulling together for the glory of the Empire, about how personal wants and needs are partly put on pause for the glory of China.

There's no "broad consent of the people". They may not know any better, but they all have the jackboot of Big Gov on their necks.

It is a twisted relationship between power and the people but the people consent, and in return power promises to be responsible in their use of power and to do with it what has been agreed, reestablish the glory of the Empire after many years in the wilderness.

Being all up in every aspect of their people's lives is not being responsible, it's being oppressive and overbearing.

I've talked to people in China before. They tell me how it is over there.

The Chinese believe that Unity is their strength, and that if they can keep it then they will rule the world, because the West is rotten and falling apart at an astonishing speed.

And with their demographics problem it has to be now.

Good points but for me it was his acknowledgement that trump was the first/only one to actually confront what the ccp is doing.

He also points out that how trump mocks China is exactly how they do the USA...

Not him or individual Americans, but the nation~ referred to not as America, but American imperialism.........

Essentially an aggressive negative stereotyping inherently antagonistic towards America & to the west..

The USA perceived~ PUSHED BY THE CCP as the forever antagonist enemy hellbent on containing & stifling China.

Note: not peer, not friendly competitor etc etc etc as wallstreet & some politicians prefer to frame it, but as a direct threat & something to be overcome by any & all means necessary..

Just as it states: Did you watch the video??

As he mentions in the video no one/very few are all bad or all good & this opened his eyes to the facts stated-trump was the first & probably only one to call the CCP out on it.. Rubio did a great background exposure but nothing became of it....
