China’s Communist Party are still the direct descendants of Mao. At the core, nothing has changed - to paraphrase Mussolini, its: “Everything in the Party, nothing outside the Party, nothing against the Party.”
Xi is just again showing everyone that if the CCP deems it, your property and your person mean nothing. If you are in China, you are the CCP’s prison-byatch.
I describe it as the CCP has “pimped out the populace as slave labor for global manufacturers”.
That we consume their products, because they’re cheap, makes all of us complicit. It’s to the point of not being able to though, there are no options for many things.
It’s easy to say “don’t buy from China” but global economies and so many corporations have supply chains dependent on them.
We are headed for a real clash of power, the aspirations of the CCP are frightening and we feed them. I fear the worst.
