I have read similar. Shanghai and Xi are rivals. Xi has military report to him and not Politbureau. In fact this struggle is why Xi is focused on Shanghai. To hold absolute power Shanghai must be removed as obstacle

Looks like every type of government in the world is infiltrated with bankers.

Excellent analysis. Its been reported many of Chinese wealthy businessmen and the population at large are very unhappy over Zero Covid Measures. The PLA is also unhappy over Taiwan and US relations. A War kills 2 birds with 1 stone. Unites the people against an external enemy and keeps the military on Xi’s side and allows him to crack down on peoples freedom even more. This holds true for the US/Biden as well

I wish the good people of China would get rid of their communist government.

The world would be better with a free China?

Yes it would be better, we desperately need the common Chinese people to rebel against their government but the Chinese have been carefully conditioned over the past 55 years to submit submit and submit some more.

The continual efforts of common Chinese to “avoid trouble” and better his own future by working tirelessly within the boundaries drawn for him takes up all of his energies… the government regularly “disappears” dissidents and even average Chinese live in fear of this type of horror touching their own families.

Compliance is the result of living in terror for generations. They will comply. They long ago agreed to comply in order to survive and that the goal keeps moving does not weaken the resolve to survive and, as possible, to rise in social economic status.

It is sad … one and a quarter BILLION people reduced to faceless workers … knowing what I know, I cannot guess what amount of pain and sacrifice it would take for average Chinese to stand up to Xi and his many unscrupulous and corrupt friends

what if Xi, who is Han dynasty, and the CCP, which is essentially three families (very Mafia like) are at odds because of alliances abroad? CCP owns Creepy and most of DC yet Pelosi goes there and at the same time Russia separates the party from Xi.

Maybe Taiwan is the new Ukraine, only different tactics being used. They have over 1500 biowar labs there and also semiconductor plants used by DS entities. If one connects this to other world events it appears it could very well be the surrender of the black hat contingent.

Her flight was pretty obviously set up as a potential FF. Start a shooting war so the enemy can escape. Like the last days of WW II.

Many similarities exist.

The waring infighting parties of commie China Emperor Xi will squash all opposition. He sees himself as a god!

For a while it will probably be a tug of war between the people in power over how to achieve the goal of world domination: financial conquest (which like a parasite needs the human host to stay alive) vs. political conquest (which sees a die-off as just freeing up more resources).

But like all empires before them, the unpredictable part is the tolerance of the masses in the conquered areas. And the more China expands, the less control they have over those new populations... or unhappy minions exposed to a new way of life.

That inevitability was taken into account by the "Mandate of Heaven", an ancient Chinese belief which basically says: If the masses do not see Heaven backing your leadership with nature's bounty and a good life for them, your days are numbered, even if you're the emperor. The Mandate explicitly supported the right of the masses to revolt after natural disasters... like floods, droughts, military defeats. And pandemics.

Even Xi does not consider himself immune to it, and his otherwise irrational rulings (like the futile 'zero covid' goal) can best be explained as a desperate attempt to outrun the Mandate, which is coming after him like a tsunami.

It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

The possibility has been raised by Mike Adams that China might use these internal struggles and external threats to flip their economy into military manufacturing and directly attack the US. This seems far fetched to me, but with the amount of chaos in the world at the moment I’m not willing to discount it out of hand.
