A "Broken China" ping.
If you want on or off the ping list send me a FReepMail.
Today's Broken China ping deals with the CCP increased hiding of Big Data in order to prevent unrest. It is having the reverse effect. Among the items being hidden are:
1. Youth Unemployment - I've talked about this before. It's bad, real bad. Things are also bed for older blue collar workers.
2. Land Sales - This is a major source of income for local, city, and provincial governments of the PRC. Land sales are down so far this year. 2022 sales were down ~50% over 2021. Just under half of the revenue received by developers from the pre-construction sales goes to the CCP in the form of taxes and land sales. Remember Real estate has roughly twice the share of GDP in the PRC than the USA.
3. Foreign Exchange Reserves - Foreign exchange reserves are assets denominated in a foreign currency that are held by a nation's central bank. These may include foreign currencies, bonds, treasury bills, and other government securities. The concern here is that a sizable percentage of the PRC's FER are being held "off book". That a portion is being hidden raises red flags and not that of the PRC.
4. Aggregate Bond Quotes - This cripples the Bond Market as buyers and sellers lack the information to make intelligent trades. This means that it is very difficult for businesses to issue new corporate debt. This will further slow the PRC economy.
5. Covid deaths - Covid hammered the PRC. I saw a report that cremations for the 1Q 2023 in Zhejaing province (immediately south of Shainghai) are UP 72.9% year-over-year. There is no way to know if this is an anomaly or not.
6. Academic database - The China National Knowledge Infrastructure, a major academic repository of the CCP, has restricted foreign subscribers from accessing it since April 4th. This means foreigners don't have access to CCP documents, patents, statistics, and seminar materials.
7. Biographies of Senior Officials - The CCP has severely restricted biographies of senior party officials from long entries to only a few lines. The CCP did not publish the monthly press releases of meetings for November 2022, and January & May of 2023. The Former Foreign Minister, Qin Gang, was suddenly promoted in June before disappearing a month later. I have also heard of disruption amongst the leader of the PLA Rocket Forces. The Rocket Forces are the keepers of the PRC's nuclear weapons. They are screened for ability but mostly for unwavering loyalty to the CCP and the General Secretary (Xi). Their minders make the Soviet Zampolit look like kindly country parish priests. FWIW - Khrushchev was a Zampolit major at the battle of Stalingrad.

Good link, lots of important info:
“Impact investment” is the new weapon of exploitation being launched against 99.9% of humankind by the tiny gang of ultra-rich crooks who currently rule the world.
Spearheaded by UK venture capitalist “Sir” Ronald Cohen, it basically means privatisation of the public sector pushed further than ever before, in which big businesses make money by “investing” in various sectors tied in to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and by turning these investments into commodities, that can be traded and speculated upon.
Children, with their whole lives ahead of them and ready to be plugged in and monitored for decades in the financiers’ digital smart-city panopticon, are the prime target of the impact vultures.
The lack of understanding of the threat presented by the “impact” agenda, even among those freedom-fighters who declare themselves to be enemies of the system, is frankly alarming.
For that reason, we present here some reading matter explaining and exposing the insidious impact agenda.”
Alison McDowell has also been covering this info–check out her videos on her youtube channel (in her name). Her videos are long, but she really knows what she’s talking about (she started researching all of this years before we ever heard the term “Great Reset.” And there’s tons of info on her site wrenchinthegears.

The Flaw in Trump’s Georgia Indictment, by Andrew McCarthy.
there’s a giant hole in her case: the lack of a clear crime to which Trump and his co-defendants can plausibly be said to have agreed…..
Regardless of how many people are said to be implicated, however, there is always one requirement: There must be a meeting of the minds about the crime that is the objective of the conspiracy…..
That is what’s so strange about DA Willis’s indictment. She alleges that the 19 people named in her indictment are guilty of conspiracy because they agreed to try to keep Donald Trump in power as president — specifically, to “change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.” Maybe they shared such an aim, maybe their 19 minds met regarding that objective, but in and of itself, trying to reverse the result of an election is not a crime. You may have noticed that neither Al Gore nor Stacey Abrams was ever led away in handcuffs.
To be clear, it’s entirely possible that people can perform criminal acts in the pursuit of a lawful objective. If they do, they may be charged with those crimes — and if the crimes are serious, they should be charged. That, however, does not mean their overarching objective was a crime. And again, if you don’t have two or more people agreeing on an objective that is a crime, you don’t have a conspiracy.

In case anyone is interested: This guy drove from Orange County to LA and has lots of unseen footage of the area post Hilary. From early this morning. The guy also has a police scanner on in the background and you can hear about cars being stuck in high water.
