Really wasn’t there talk of economic problems and lack of freedom causing some underground currents of unrest in China?
They always handle it silently with the disappearance of enemies of the rulers. I heard rumors people there wanted more Western style personal luxuries and less “sacrifice for the whole of China.” Just talk, I guess.

It was pretty grim for the Chinese at the battle for Kinmen Island.

10,000 Chinese Soldiers landed and then cut off and slaughtered.

Jao Xiden in May 2019 had this to say about the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) [responding to then President Trump putting new tariffs on PRC];

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man...they can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west. [T]hey can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not, they’re not competition for us.”

What is bad is that, now, 2 and a third years later, he is right, after 8 months as President and 19 months of Wuhan COVID-19, WE ARE NOT COMPETITIVE WITH THEM! I thought 8 years of Obama was bad but this 3rd term of the LEFT running rampant against US and attacking OUR foundational principals, it is WORSE!

Obama and Xi (the ones on the right-—others are cartoons)....

Barack O could eat no fat
And Xi could eat no lean
And so between them both you see,
they picked the planet clean.


There once was a tyrant named Xi
Who watched sleepy Biden with glee.
He sent and navy and navy and air force
to plunder
And said this whole world goes to me.

Darn it....CORRECTED

There once was a tyrant named Xi
Who watched sleepy Biden with glee.
He sent army and navy and air force

And said this whole world goes to me.

What’s Biden going to do?

Oh, that’s right! Biden is on China’s payroll.

Silent because the Global Times like the Western media does not report the activities of the PAP (People’s Armed Police - a part of the PLA). The PAP regularly and daily in broad daylight beats activists and demonstrators in the streets ; people are literally beaten into submission. There are no by-standers, as people are trained not to pay any attention to other people’s problems - even to terrible road accidents and witnessing children and women being kidnapped as they pass by.

It not “talk” but a matter of personal survival - learned from the Tienanmen Square Massacre.

Yep.

All those dead Chinese.

Think of how much General Tso’s Chicken they could have enjoyed.

Yes. That guy standing in front the tank was never definitively proven to have survived. Rumors only.

And how many “disappeared” soon after?
One version:
The protests started on April 15 and were forcibly suppressed on June 4 when the government declared martial law and sent the People’s Liberation Army to occupy parts of central Beijing. Estimates of the death toll vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded.——Wikipedia

BBC reported “10,000 died” according to UK documents.

I think Taiwan should offer to annex China. Problem solved!

Taiwan is seen by Xi simply as unfinished business..... he's emboldened to test the waters regarding Taiwan.

I hear the same crap from North Korea. All talk no do. China knows that they have had 75 years to prepare for this. Taiwan can nail the 3 gourge dam and Singapore, and I wouldn’t put it past them to make China bleed hard for an attack, knowing that they will get their ass kicked in the end. Just hope the destroy their chip manufacturing buildings
