Our public holds over $21 trillion, or almost 78%, of the national debt... China offers loans to the U.S. and Europe as well as other countries so that they keep buying the goods China produces.

Mr. Sum Tin Wong and Mr. Xi will take the CCP into the 21st century.

If they can keep it.

No celebrity merchandise, no tattoed earring wearing athletes?

What’s a sellout Lebron and NBA going to do?

China’s transformation from poverty to prosperity, Xi has decided that he hates them too.

Translation: Communism takes a hit turn thumb screws until old way returns.

Once someone has a taste of freedom they don’t want to give it up problems ensue for Xi?.

The democrat party memo: entertainers are being cautioned not to be “overly entertaining.

I have seen todays shows and they are following the party line.

Interestingly, this video made by a man who lived and worked in China for 10 years, just popped up. He makes many good observations.

No, China will not lead the world.

China wants control of the trade routes into especially Asian and European Markets....and they certainly want to see the US have less influence in those markets.

Of course they do. A complete no brainer for them. If they can control the shipping lanes they can dictate economic policy. Dictate economic policy and you dictate all policy.

Hence the reason for their belligerent attitude towards Vietnam, the Philippines, India, etc.
They know that as labor costs in China increase companies will locate to other low cost Asian countries.
If China controls the shipping lanes they can extort “protection” money from those countries and the customer countries.

As it is the US is the only country with a navy capable of taking them out. The other NATO countries combined don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of standing up to China because WE have been their friendly neighborhood cop since 1945. The bill for those decades of reliance on the US is coming due but they are, like us, too busy settling “refugees” who have no interests in their host nations.

We are living in interesting times.

Somehow, Xi claims that all of these new prohibitions are tied to amending China’s massive wealth gap.

Yeah, rather than a power trip by a jerk... sounds a lot like OUR 'elites'... same delusions of grandeur - with the excuse of 'helping' the poor....

China operates much as did the Dynasty Emperors......remarkable similarities in how they will ‘conquer’ and the mannerisms of how they do business....even today.
