China's president's daughter is at Harvard. That's a big warning sign
American Thinker ^ | 10/29/2019 | David Archibald

Posted on 10/29/2019 7:01:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Taiwan News, established in 1949, recently carried an article saying President Xi's daughter, having graduated from Harvard in 2014, is now back there. And that it is likely for her own safety.  The safe space movement at Harvard peaked in 2016 and is still doing things to make its students feel less threatened.  But Xi Mingze would not feel threatened by old paintings of long -dead white men, as some other Harvard students are.

Her father charmed his way to the top job in China and once there consolidated his position by eliminating his rivals in an anti-corruption campaign.  Then he had himself made president for life. The next step for a Chinese dictator would be to establish a dynasty.  Chairman Mao had wanted to establish a dynasty, but his only son capable of the role, Mao Anying, was killed by a U.S. airstrike on November 25, 1950 during the Korean War.

For President Xi to start a dynasty, his only daughter has to get married.  At 27, she is of age when she should get married.  But it can't be to someone of peasant stock.  It has to be to one of China's princelings — or "Revolutionary Successors," as they prefer to be known.  President Xi has stressed the need for "red genes" in China's rulers.  The problem is that all the princelings are all already very wealthy, so marrying into the Xi family wealth would be of no consequence.  China's princesses do well, too.  The Huawei executive arrested in Canada, Meng Wanzhou, has a stepsister, Annabel Yeo, who had her debut into high society at Le Bal des Débutantes Paris November 2018.

For a princeling, if you married Xi's daughter, you would become consort to the empress, but there would be a downside: you would be killed in any palace coup.

We don’t need more communists in this country than we already have.

The point of the article is that maybe Xi is sending his daughter here to protect her from an attempted coup.

(IMO, U.S. colleges should be for U.S. citizens, but that’s not what this article is about.)

[Xi Mingze at Harvard means that a coup is possible in China.]


I wouldn’t read too much into this. Harvard is a prestigious name attended by scions of the powerful much as Oxbridge was during the heyday of the Empire. At the same time, coups are not unprecedented in Communist China. Mao’s handpicked successor was removed in a bloodless coup.

You forgot your sarc notation.
(Assuming you were referring to the subjects at hand, also known as communist agents. Any escapees from communism, legally here, have my blessing).

My beef isn’t with the Chinese people. Of course those who come to spy, steal corporate secrets aren’t welcome.

Well, she seems pretty. If she isn’t here for an advanced degree, but to get married... And if she’s desperate, I’m available...

Discreetly, I assume. Harvard actually has a staff of people who are very experienced in handling the children of folks like this, and their security requirements. Harvard is very good at keeping the details to themselves.

There are many celebrity children, children of “important” people there. Most other students pretty much ignore them, and the smarter “important” offspring do NOT draw attention to themselves. Xi’s daughter, as far as I know, fell into that category. My older son saw her a couple of times, but she really didn’t make a ripple.

That being said, malia obama did not belong to that group. My younger son would see her around campus (he graduated, I think in her freshman year), and he was unimpressed.

And we can’t say no to a quarter of mankind

There are eight million self-identified faggots in the U.S. too.

Sounds like you're read to bend over and say Yes Please to them too?

Asians that come to the USA and obtain citizenship make terrible Republicans. Take Indian Asian Americans for example, they end up voting for Democrats over Republicans 93%-7%!!!!

I wasn’t aware of that.

It’s evident they don’t realize the Leftists favor Islam over Christianity for the time being, and Islam is the biggest problem facing India today.

Either that or close to it...

Republicans like to virtue signal by supporting enthusiastically LEGAL immigration when in fact legal immigration is cutting our own throats by IMPORTING DEMOCRATS. I think Republicans do his because they have so few opportunities to virtue signal. It is vanity that is killing us. I wish Republicans would stop it.

I can't argue with that. Misguided virtue signalling does seem to be a problem in the party.

Honestly, the demoncRats seem to have converted half the RepublCon party, the way the Rs seem to want to emulate them so much.

She may want - or her family may want her - to marry into money, but does Papa Xi really want to start a dynasty? One ruling family down through the generations? Like in North Korea? That’s a great way to get his children killed. I suspect he wants them to be rich and safe.

There's no evidence Mao cared about creating a Dynasty or even cared about his children. He was married 4 times. The first was a local arranged marriage in his youth. He had 3 other sons with his 3rd wife, but the whereabouts of some of those children are unknown. Besides this, its widely known that Mao slept with any young woman who he found attractive. There's probably dozens of his biological children throughout China. He was a real narcissist who literally was only concerned with political power in his allotted time. Nothing else mattered.
