The article is about an ordinary guy in mainland China standing up against fakes in the martial arts and up as an ordinary citizen against the Central Government and the party at great risk to himself.

And actually Xi Jinping is prompting martial arts, not hating them. Its not about ‘the best’, its about improving the sport much of which was lost when Mao killed off the old timers.

Good martial artists in China, at least, do NOT ignore civilian laws. The penelties for that behavior are horrendous. You may have watched too many kung poo movies.

Just read the entire article.

Very interesting the level of dissent allowed in China.

"China is a gigantic continent, far larger that the USA."

Only in population. The US is larger in land area.

I studied under a very talented man back in the early ‘70’s and he could do some amazing things ..

That isn’t the vid I saw. It was here:

but Twitter deleted it. When Twitter deleted something, I assume it is because it doesn’t fit the narrative I am supposed to buy.
