Dear Folks,

 

Do XI's statements smack of projection?

Is this the best that he has left?

 

And, for that matter, are all XI's degrees FAKE?

For example, were China universities actually able to grant meaningful degrees during the Cultural Revolution?

What kind of education did XI actually enjoy when he was at college age?

One shudders to consider.

 

 

The Chinese people cannot stand this guy.

But, would it even be possible to vote him out of office?

 

He cannot live forever, or can he?

 

Might he have himself cloned, and then upload his mind and his thought to NEURAL LINK?

Will China ever be able to get rid of this bounder?

 

He has already been wreaking havoc since just before the Beijing games.

When is enough enough?

 

Clearly, he is a Mao wanna be.

 

Regards,

Gamma

 

 

Didn't he bring them from the brink of the dark ages?  I thought the Chinese loved him.

You mean Mao?

No, not really.

Some do, but most do not.

 

Or, do you mean XI?

Few like him.

And, they ridicule him, when they can.

This was my first reaction while watching Donald's Rose Garden drunken drivel. Live ECU (or better EAU).

This forum is more aligned with china than the west so id expect some hostility for these kind of threads

Read the book Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China for all you need to know about communist China.

 

It will all make sense.

This is more aligned with common sense against the current lunacy and idiocracy of the White House. Not that I like CCP (I don't).

I agree that Trump and his lackeys are 'fighting for their own best interest'. Their own personal interests, not those of the nation and the common man.

Xi Jinping has an interesting personal history.

His family was targeted and suffered during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), a period of intense political upheaval in China launched by Mao Zedong.

Here's a summary of what happened to his family:

Father: Xi Zhongxun

• Position before the Cultural Revolution: A prominent revolutionary and high-ranking official in the Communist Party.

• Punishment: In 1962 (just before the Cultural Revolution), Xi Zhongxun was purged from the Party leadership, accused of supporting a novel considered politically problematic. During the Cultural Revolution, his situation worsened—he was publicly humiliated, imprisoned, and subjected to harsh treatment.

• Rehabilitation: He was later politically rehabilitated in the late 1970s after Mao’s death and Deng Xiaoping's rise.

Xi Jinping himself

• As a teenager, Xi Jinping faced immense difficulties:

  • He was just 13 years old when the Cultural Revolution began.

  • His father’s fall from grace meant Xi was labeled the "son of a black gang element", a serious political stain at the time.

  • His elder half-sister reportedly died during the early chaos of the Cultural Revolution, possibly by suicide under pressure.

  • Xi was sent to the countryside as part of Mao’s "Down to the Countryside Movement," where he lived in a cave dwelling in rural Shaanxi province and did hard manual labor for years.

  • He applied to join the Communist Party multiple times and was rejected several times due to his family background before eventually being accepted.

So Xi Jinping and his family were very much victims of the Cultural Revolution, and those early hardships reportedly shaped his political character and ambitions later on.

Sounds like another syndrome sufferer. Thats what media addiction will do to someone

He's only 71, so he'll probably be around for another decade, and that's a good thing ... IMHO

Trump and his addiction to media attention surely point to the direction of some syndrome.

Given that fact that the US is projecting it's intent to start a war with China because it is unable to economical compete with China, I'm in constant amazement that the US and Western expats here go out of their way to disparage and insult China, it's citizens, and its leader every opportunity they have while ignoring the fact that Thailand is a stone throw away from the Chinese border, and this entire region is dominated by that super-power.  Instead of learning about China, its history, culture, people, and the stellar rise of their economy and commending its fantastical progress over the last 80 years - you demean everything about China and throw maximum shade at the country. 
Really - what the hell are idiots doing in South East Asia?  Are you THAT clueless?  That's rhetorical.

Or just following the truth and facts.  You should try it some time as it seems you could benefit

Love China.

Hate XI.

One can only love China if one hates XI, Mao, and the ChiCom Bandits.

OK.

I will read it.

For some reason, I have not seen this book.

One book I did enjoy was that written by the Chinese wife of an oil company exec, living in Shanghai, whose daughter was thrown from the roof of one of the buildings at a Shanghai university, during the Cultural Revolution.

That was a book.

 

 

At least China is trying to build connections with other countries. America is very hard trying to break them and isolate itself. Whatever one thinks of China in general, I think the former is a better strategy.

I have long despised Xi, and the CCP and their policies. However Trump is doing something very unexpected. He's driving up the prestige and the amount of respect that Xi and China have around the world, by forcing people to side with China. Nobody likes a bully, nobody likes an arrogant fool, and nobody likes schizophrenic economic policy conducted by an insane fool, who has no idea what the end game looks like.

 

I suspect it's not going to be pretty for America. China can hold out as long as they want, the Chinese people will tolerate a simple lifestyle. Americans will not and cannot. Americans have no idea how to deal with deprivation nor do they have any concept of what the word sacrifice means. Xi may play the long game, which means the US loses in a huge way. 

 

Just how vulnerable is the US to China? 

 

In 2000, the United States was the top trading partner for over 80 percent of countries. As of today, this figure has shrunk to 30 percent, while China has now become the top trading partner for more than 120 countries. China is South America’s top trading partner, and it is Africa’s largest trading partner in terms of total volume, dwarfing U.S.-Africa trade by a factor of four, according to the United States Institute of Peace.

 

Within this context, China has significantly invested in the Maritime Silk Road (MSR) to increase trade route options and bypass choke points, posing a significant challenge for U.S. trade. In 2013, Chinese president Xi Jinping unveiled the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an ambitious political-economic infrastructure initiative to link East Asia and Europe through land, sea and air under China’s leadership and with the backing of its resources. The twenty-first-century MSR is responsible for the BRI maritime routes that connect China to Europe and the Arctic Ocean via the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. President Xi has repeatedly emphasized that economic powers must be maritime and shipping powers. As China now positions itself as the world’s top exporter, top shipbuilder, and largest trading nation, with around 95 percent of its international trade carried out through sea-lanes, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will soon dominate global maritime trade.

 

The Indo-Pacific is a major hub of global commerce and will continue to be the main target for China’s maritime control. The 10 busiest container ports in the world are located along the shores of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Indian Ocean hosts 80 percent of China’s imported oil and 95 percent of China’s trade with the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. China also has a strong presence in port construction in the developing world: it operates or has ownership of 91 active port projects across the globe where military use is a possibility, providing it with a foothold in every continent except Antarctica. These projects are part of the MSR network, which, according to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) State Council Information Office, has reached 117 ports across 43 countries, mostly in the Global South. China’s position of control and influence over the majority of port infrastructure globally poses a significant economic and military security threat to the United States. Simply put, China could use its power to interfere with operations that rely on port access—including military and economic operations—and are vital to U.S. interests.

 

In terms of overseas ports, the United States severely lags China, as the United States does not manage or own any commercial ports outside its territories. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), however, is beginning to invest ports. A bit late in the game? 

 

Never before has the humble ocean shipping container been this important to American business. If you can’t get one, you can’t move your international cargo — and supply has never been tighter. The cost of global trade is now contingent on how many containers exist, where they are and where they aren’t.

 

How many containers exist is controlled by China. Virtually every ocean shipping container in the world is built there. 

 

Just three Chinese companies account for the majority of production, with Chinese factories now building more than 96% of the world’s dry cargo containers and 100% of the world’s refrigerated containers, according to U.K. consultancy Drewry.

 

Carl Bentzel of the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) said earlier this month, “I am concerned that this equipment is controlled by a state-owned enterprise and that we’re completely reliant, and I have questions about whether or not there’s been market manipulation of what is potentially a monopoly.”

I've heard at least 2-3 news casters here in the states say during discussion that they wouldn't be surprised if he just disappeared, like his general did a few months ago.

Worse things have happened in this world.
