How long before another Tiananmen-style uprising?

In 1989 Beijing’s Tiananmen Square became the focus for large-scale protests, which were crushed by China’s Communist rulers.

1) Hope they don’t vent it on the evil west ( led by the United States ).

2) The danger is the CCP will deflect the problem away from themselves and channel the anger towards national pride — the reunification with Taiwan.

Economic crisis? No problem. Just print more money.

Good point.

That was supposedly one of the keys to Hitler’s rise to power. The humiliation of WWI’s punishment to Germany made them ripe for a villain and a hero to regain their pride.

I was told my a Chinese woman (Christian, anti-communist) that the Chinese children are no longer taught daily to hate America. I never believed her but she insisted.

America is increasingly hostile ..

Got down to that part and thought wth?
All we've been seeing is the DC whores selling us out with their filthy hands out for more and more and more graft at the expense of what's left of our nation.

Heard from a Chinese woman there were “thousands” of dissidents to disappeared after the tank defiance incident.
Never verified by the Western press but she said everyone in China knew it was true. She said the guy who stood there was “a fool.”

The Chinese Communist Party’s legitimacy still relies heavily on ordinary Chinese feeling their lives are improving,


just like the rats.

Sounds like they are going to need a new Covid strain to keep the people in line.

And things were improving until Emperor Xi took over. His predecessor Hu Xintao was content to make China rich, fat, and happy. But, Xi is a true believer and wants to follow in the steps of their mass-murderer founder Mao.

They’ll vent it on Japan. The CCP has been ginning up a lot of anti-Japanese propaganda since Xi took over. Plus, it’s a closer target.

You are right... All cultures eventually end up with too many men. War has traditionally been used to alleviate that.

Where the author gets it wrong is there will not be a war between China and Taiwan, because they are brothers... And they are too weak to fight anyone else. China's only choice on the menu is revolution.

China has empty apartments.

The US has streets lined with tents.
