Tidbits that i observed in this video. I usta be all into China decades ago. China Reconstructs propaganda mag, etc. Yeah, when i was left. First i noted: "neighborhood committee". People do not realize, that when these folks take over you have monitoring at EVERY level of life. You got the family member who will report on you. You have that neighborhood committee that will make sure you stay in line. From the family unit all the way up to Xi everything is watched. The thing is if you dont report you are in trouble. So this system has everyone watching everyone. Not failing to mention China's "Fifth Intelligence Agency". The elderly populace out sitting on a bench and watching EVERY move to get their rice bowl. Sidebar: there used to be a policy if i recall correctly, of the "iron rice bowl". That you were guaranteed basic necessities if you stayed in line. Even that now has gone away. There is no safety net as he has said. I wont even go into the whole social credit score thing. We will be facing the same thing, if things continue as they are. China's population is the testing ground for all that would be meant for US as well as globally if [they] have [their] way. Another quote: "Once the government gains powers, they're not so easy to give them up". Hmmm. Sound familiar?? "Can't criticize the government." "Only topics that are approved are allowed." Mentioned "show trials". There was a visual of the pollution that pours out of the factories in China. Who on this earth even talks about that?? Other observations: First, of course the speaker was a formerly a liberal, being from elite stock, private school, all that. "Elites are gonna elite." He spoke of China being rampantly capitalist. IMHO it is more the elites EVERYWHERE live a life different from everyone else. They are cushioned, privileged. You are in or you are def OUT. When you look at history, many if not most of the most radical founders are from families of comfort and privilege. They have then the time to drum up all sorts of doctrines against all that they hate and have NEVER EXPERIENCED. Have any of these sorts EVER rolled up their sleeves and WORKED?? Have they ever owned a business, and BUILT SOMETHING. Look at the nonproducers in power now. I have said for many years, that i believe there must be in every Chinese factory a large poster saying: "Fill the United States with junk today. Then we take over tomorrow." i think i am spot on. Here is your homework (just kidding): Take ALL OF THIS VIDEO CONTENT and compare it to our present condition. The censorship, the privileged elite, the implacable hatred of this Nation by even our so-called leaders and the countless useful idiots raised up to despise our bedrock values. Politicians and others are in denial what a real threat China is. They are not our friend. And who is sleeping with China now? I think the answer will become even more obvious. It certainly pays well, and we know who is getting paid. With President Trump we had a fighting chance. With the current Place Holder, even with some of the present rhetoric, i would not hold my breath. I am sure that Taiwan will prove a test of our resolve, not failing to mention the continued abuse in Hong Kong and of religious and other freedoms. China has played the long game for a long time. We will certainly see if we have the stamina for it. We shall see just how sold out Xiden is to Xi. Time will certainly tell.
