China crisis: Xi Jinping's regime 'could soon collapse' as military purge backfires on CCP

Chinese leader Xi Jinping could soon be toppled and the Chinese Communist Party could "collapse," according to a senior China analyst Paul Monk. Speaking to Sky News Australia, Mr Monk revealed that China's economy is "more fragile than it lets on" in spite of the facade the regime projects about itself. The leading author and expert also suggested that the Chinese military is much weaker than many suspect, and could face major difficulties if it pushes ahead with an invasion of Taiwan.

Xi Jinping marked the centenary of the ruling Communist Party in China last week.

In a message to rivals, President Xi warned that foreign powers will "get their heads bashed" if they attempt to bully or influence the country.

However, Mr Monk suggested that "ill-considered moves" by China could lead to its own collapse.

He warned that the Chinese Communist model of rule had "reached its use-by date".

Assume this is somewhat true, that the Chinese economy is fragile and at risk to implode. Had our Trump not been cheated out of his second term, and we kept the Senate, the economic pressure brought bear on China could have potential greatly sped this issue up by a decade.

Might not be all that bad (in fact good if Communism were to
fall), but military hardliners could be even more problematic.

Too bad a moderate faction couldn’t spring up and put the kabash
on China’s global takeover.

The issue isn’t China’s modernization and improvements.

It’s its goal to dominate the planet by force.

China has a history of becoming outward looking, aggressive and expansive and then collapsing due to internal strife and unrest. It’s happened multiple times so I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens again.

Xi Jinping is a bigmouth and bigmouths almost always fold when seriously confronted. They never spoke this way when Trump was President because they were afraid of him. Meanwhile nobody fears Biden and they know they can do what they want and he won’t put up a fight.

All China has to do is stop shipping to the Western world. Whether as an act of war or due to their own economic collapse…

The world will be in a world of hurt.

This is why I admired Trump last year for knowing how to get American companies changing gears during the early stages of the crisis.

Biden and gang ain’t remotely going to call on the greatness of America, they’ll loot us instead

You all Chines mookabookers threaten Taiwan?
With it filled to overflowing,
What happens if a MOAB hits your big ass damn?
Game, set, match.
After giving the world the China flu, it would be much deserved.
Go after ataiwan?
Hit Japan?
Pay back can be a Mother.

Most of what you see in the UK Express is garbage. However, after visiting China some years ago, I too came to the conclusion that they are like a Potemkin village. I saw many new buildings that had shoddy construction and were falling apart even after 2 years. One “model” apartment I was shown had visible signs of mold. It was all I could do to mask my shock.

Outside of Shanghai and parts of Beijing, China is very chaotic.

China is one of the few countries in the world that has a backup disc, just so long as Taiwan and various Billionaires stay intact. A collapsed China would be a scary thing but maybe they can ride this out. Its a big country, much bigger than one man.

I still think the Japanese could kick China’s arse if they wanted to. The big problem is nukes.

If their population gets too restive, they might release an EMP (extra male population) on their enemies.
