We've seen this political action plan before: rattle sabres at the top to create angst: agitate the masses to accept peaceful co-existence and the promise of a free lunch below. Damn the rich and smart as thieves and tricksters.
I wonder if the Tiawan government has maintained their educational establishment such that it will thwart the allure of this cobra? Are the masses conversant with history and economics? I wonder if they are so "democratic" that they have no bulwork against the bleating of "useful idiots" groomed by the party functionaries? Will the governent and the people, in the name of freedom and tolerance, respect and appreciate the gangrene in the hand which threatens the body?
I'll be watching this evolution carefully. Tragic, but interesting: political pathology 101.
Any updates are appreciated.
Thanks!
I have not bookmarked all that I post.
I would suggest searching for articles posted by me and Hopalong. There is some good stuff out there...
This is every company in China - including the US companies.
It is a new strategy by the Communists and it is increasing.
It is a new totalitarianism and is very dangerous and effects not just Chinese citizens.
In a US company operating in China, the janitor may actually be the highest ranking Communist Party member and the top Chinese official in the US owned company has to answer to the janitor!.
And the US side would not even know that the janitor is actually the boss.
This is serious stuff they are doing and it extends to Chinese companies in the US or anywhere.
