Xi has done a terrible job of leading China, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy for China to get rid of him.

I told my woman, “There’s rumors of a coup in China.”

She replied, “A coup?”

I said, “Gesundheit!” and handed her a tissue.

Xi Jinping is in hiding because he doesn’t want to talk to Biden/Harris again

Ok hurry up and get on with it. Today was supposed to be the day we all remember. Hurry up and do something!

Or it could be that Alabama mercilessly taunts Vandy over the tranny nonsense in tonight’s game. Maybe that’s what will be historic today.

Isn’t the world supposed to end today, or something? Aliens land or Yellowstone explodes, or nukes fly?

Businesses are leaving because of the lockdowns and interrupted supply chains. Apple opening in Vietnam and India, among others.

On 16 Oct, Xi will get elected again. CCP is not happy with Xi. Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao are putting pressure on Xi to change his style. Xi purged the majority of the Hu and Wen cadre. Hu and Wen are trying to protect CCP because the public is angry about the lockdown and the Tawain insult. HU and Wen trying to protect CCP from a public revolt against CCP.
Chinese TVs are showing pro-Xi programs, which shows he himself consider vulnerable at this time. Last month there was a secret meeting of CCP leaders and they vented out against Xi.
I don’t think revolt will happen, the public is very weak. The public is still enjoying prosperity after a very long time.
