Is Jinping giving up on fascism and returning to his communist roots?
Maybe he felt like he was losing control?
I always speculated that eventually would destroy their economy knowing it would destroy the US economy in the process, and that China would be in better position to withstand it than the US.
Gave them a bit of freedom and the ungrateful wretches wanted more freedom.
Maybe the central committee will have him arrested, or even whacked.
China’s run by five families.....they will survive along with China regardless of any crackdowns. Their country and people have hit hard economic times often and know how to weather it all regardless of the losses. Their history shows as much. Though XI may not have his forever position.....there’s always someone in the wings should he not. But the country will survive any economic downturn.
This guy is serious about being CCP General Secretary for life.
Consolidating power, it’s the commie way.
Is everyone missing the global redistribution of wealth towards China through consumer goods shortages and price hikes?
The thing is, if China thinks that by imploding its own economy it will take the US with it, then they are delusional. There is the “rest of the world” not just the USA. Even with AHOLE libs messing some things up, Americans are used to making order from chaos...we are simply not command economy oriented. So we have some lean years and our callow youths learn to be responsible money wise and work wise. I think we can survive China’s own suicide.
China gets no wealth if they mess with the distribution lines. It will be painful but after all there is the “rest of the world’ that can reorient away from China. Let China cut its own throat.
For one thing Xi is going old school by trying to set up a cult of personality around himself.

Several years ago, I read an article, claiming that Xi was a leader of the “true Marxists” fraction of the CCP. At that time, this fraction was rather small, and he had been chosen because the other feuding fractions found him harmless.
Apparently, he is not harmless any more.
“Their country and people have hit hard economic times often and know how to weather it all regardless of the losses. Their history shows as much.”
Their history? Maybe so.
But this is a completely different world. This isn’t the generation that built the economy in China.
Young people, products of the One Child policy, see no hope of getting jobs they are qualified for or of making enough money to start a family plus support their aging parents as they are expected to do.
They have developed the Lying Flat movement. A sort of screw it, it ain’t worth it mentality.
The Lying Flat movement...

Also the two younger generations have never known the crushing poverty that Mao imposed with his various plans and the Great Leap.
In short, their kids feel even more entitled than our own.
China is living in interesting times.
The thing about communism is,
once they run out of enemies…
…they never really run out of enemies.
Yes, let’s do that here leftists…
To Xi, maintaining CCP control overrides EVERYTHING else.
He must be worried that allowing a middle class threatens that control.
“Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, is perhaps the best example of Xi’s crackdown on big tech. Ma is one of the most famous Chinese people, known around the world. He is also the epitome of the tech billionaire. And it is perhaps this fame that attracted the ire of the Chinese regime. Last year, Beijing blocked the $34.5 billion IPO of his Ant Group. Shortly afterwards, Ma disappeared for almost three months.”

Point of fact - no one has actually seen Horse Cloud since he disappeared, only third hand reports, leading many to believe he is in pieces and parts in a cooler awaiting transplant.

FYI: Fascism came out of the Communist movement as a way to eventually implement Communism.
Xi was never a Fascist. You might imagine Dong and his successors as pseudo-Fascists, but hey were always communists first.
How China has governed it’s country is very much like it always has been with a focus that was on trade and the people being the producers. Regardless how the young people imagine or think they certainly are acquainted with their history.
How much of our debt is owned by China?
