CNN ripped for glowing coverage of Chinese Communists’ 100th anniversary
NY Post ^ | Lee Brown

The centenary “is an opportunity for the party to reaffirm its credentials, while ensuring loyalty,” the network’s Ben Westcott wrote, hailing how the party had remained an “ever-present fixture … even as communist parties elsewhere collapse or fade from view.”

The article briefly referred to “some of the darkest chapters of the last century,” including “the brutal repression of student protestors in Tiananmen Square” as well as “millions who starved to death” under CCP economic policies.

But it insisted the “party has much to celebrate, particularly China’s growth from one of the poorest nations in the world into an economy on the brink of overtaking the US.”

“This is Xi-N-N,” at least one person quipped, while many others suggested the network’s initials stood for “Communist News Network.“

An older article: https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/01/15/the-belt-and-road-initiative-is-a-corruption-bonanza/

“...Now, Malaysia’s anti-corruption commission is investigating those claims. And last week, an explosive Wall Street Journal report exposed the most damning evidence yet: minutes from a series of meetings at which Malaysian officials suggested to their Chinese counterparts that China finance infrastructure projects in Malaysia at inflated costs. The implication was that the extra cash could be used to settle 1MDB’s debts. According to the report, Najib, who has denied any part in corruption, was well aware of the meetings...”

Hire a Chinese person and you get a worker. Show them how to make something, and he/she will do it with pride. They aren’t slouchers, and they don’t look for freebees. They do view many Americans as being razy people.

Two actions that would cripple the CCP, 1. Decouple the Hong Kong dollar from the US Dollar and 2. force Chinese companies listed on American exchanges play by the exact same accounting rules we must follow.

The People’s Republic of China was founded in 1 October 1949.

I’m not using Million-Man Math, so that was 71 years, 8 months, and 29 days ago.

“it insisted the “party has much to celebrate, particularly China’s growth from one of the poorest nations in the world into an economy on the brink of overtaking the US.”

Hardly, but nonetheless, the ecomic advances made are real and are inversely related to the level of Communist Party control and are due to the Communist Party deviating from their founding principles

It is ludicrous to credit the ChiComs for any improvements in Chinese economy or society.

It is like crediting someone strangling a woman with saving her life if he lets up a little.
