I have recently written much about China for several reasons. Americans need to know about their greatest enemy, whose No. 1 goal is to replace the United States as dominant world power and subjugate all of humanity under a murderous, slave-creating, Leftist dictatorship. I must do it because Joe Biden, the Washington Uniparty, and American media and academics won’t. Biden and the Democrats are too busy destroying America themselves to realize somebody else is trying to do it, too. Or, more accurately, using them as their “useful idiots” to accomplish it.
But that doesn’t mean that the administration is totally ignorant of the current oppressive and foreigner-threatening situation in China; it just doesn’t care enough to pressure the CCP back into the civilized world. (Where is Ronald Reagan now that we need him?) Recently, the State Department raised China to a “Level 3” travel advisory threat, meaning that prospective visitors should “reconsider travel” because of arbitrary enforcement of laws by the Chinese regime, possible harassment, and even being jailed in total ignorance of any crime they committed. In other words, some (uncommon) wisdom from Washington: Stay out of China!
The last six months I was in China last year, the police came to my school or apartment three times to harass me for absolutely no reason. I ate, slept, taught class, and hid under the bed; that is all I ever did the last few months I was there. But that wasn’t enough to prevent them from bullying me. It appears to be even worse now.
A “Level 3” advisory is the second highest travel advisory. But, a fair question is, why is China only at Level 3 when Russia, Iran, and Venezuela are all at Level 4 (the highest)? I suspect Mr. Biden’s administration has something to do with that, too. Mustn’t upset Hunter and Joe’s plum trees. I wonder if Biden even knows what his State Department did. I seriously doubt it.
The advisory warns that government personnel, academics, journalists, business people, among others, could be detained for “conducting research, accessing publicly available materials [food?], and sending private electronic messages critical of the Chinese regime.” It doesn’t mention “breathing,” but I’m pretty sure the CCP doesn’t like it when foreigners do that, either. My Canadian buddy here in Thailand is getting ready to go back to China because an academic job is there. I told him I will refuse to go visit him in prison. He wasn’t especially amused, but I don’t want to end up there, too.
But maybe it will all be moot. A state-run Chinese publication (they all are) recently reprinted a March 2022, speech by Xi Jinping where the dictator expressed “concern” that the CCP might be headed for a Soviet Union-style collapse if “cadres fail to adhere to Marxism and communism.” Those are actually the very reasons China WILL someday collapse, but they are also the basis of Mr. Xi’s power, and he isn’t going to change that. He’ll go down with the ship, if he is still around when it does. According to one scholarly observer (a Chinese academic who will remain unnamed to protect him), this speech “showed Xi in a state of extreme sense of crisis,” and that the CCP “is in the most dangerous situation since its founding.” The pandemic, the resultant stagnant economy, a surging unemployment rate, and the exodus of Chinese people and foreign businesses could all combine to “shake the red power.” “Xi Jinping is very anxious,” this researcher opined.
Could it be? Is China teetering on the brink a bit? A little push from Washington—which obviously isn’t forthcoming under the current administration—certainly couldn’t hurt. But I’m skeptical.
But I also confess, I don’t know, and I really have no inside information other than my own historical studies and having lived in China for 10 years. I still talk to people there and get no sense of foreboding or urgency from them. I’m not an “expert” on the country, by a long shot, but I do have some insights maybe others don’t have. First, China is an incredibly inscrutable nation and people. They always have been to the West, and that remains just as true today as it was 100, 200, 500 years ago. We don’t understand China. It would take a few lifetimes to do so, and I was only there a decade. I can’t begin to tell you what will happen there.
Secondly, a collapse COULD transpire—and eventually will. Marxism as an economic system has some essential, fatal economic and moral fallacies that have led to its downfall wherever it has been tried. The few “Marxist” nations that still exist have had to adapt the theory extensively to survive, yet try to hold on to its basic socialist tenets. That is what China has done—“socialism with Chinese characteristics,” gobbledygook worse than a Kamala Harris speech. However, there are some currently troublesome economic conundrums—extreme debt, 40-plus percent poverty rate, power struggles in the CCP. Xi looks to be solidly in charge; but…is he really? It is impossible to know what is going on in the inner workings of the CCP. Yeah, a collapse could happen at any time, though outwardly it doesn’t look plausible in the near future. But with China, I’ve learned to never say never. Except the CCP will cheat, kill, lie, and steal. Those are absolutes of any philosophically Leftist-run institution. Witness the Democratic Party in America today, which is just a puppy right now compared to the CCP. Let’s hope the mutt dies before it reaches maturity.
Of course, nobody predicted the fall of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s-early 1990s. So, what will happen in China? Stay out of the country, wait, and find out. That’s my advice. And kill that Democratic Party dog as quickly as possible before it kills us.
China is a role model for the radical Dems
Obama overtly stated as much. And viola here is his 3rd term
These regimes expand and loot to remain in power. Is that not in truth what the Solviets did? As they are looting and ruining the resources of one country, they have their eyes on the next. Until they are stopped in their tracks (Ronald Reagan) style, they march on.
They have successfully and without opposition marched into Latin America and Africa, and the only opposition they have faced here has been through grass roots organizations.
I believe that at one time in our history, we saw Latin America as the gates into the USA. Which was why our long ago leaders kick Spain and everyone else the heck out ”our” hemisphere.
Maybe our cowards and crooks in DC could start fighting back by getting the Chinese out of Latin America.
Regime change (but for our betterment)
“Statism—in fact and in principle—is nothing more than gang rule. A dictatorship is a gang devoted to looting the effort of the productive citizens of its own country. When a statist ruler exhausts his own country’s economy, he attacks his neighbors. It is his only means of postponing internal collapse and prolonging his rule. A country that violates the rights of its own citizens, will not respect the rights of its neighbors. Those who do not recognize individual rights, will not recognize the rights of nations: a nation is only a number of individuals.
Statism needs war; a free country does not. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.” – Ayn Rand
I guess that is why we haven’t won a war since 1945….and the wars we have lost since then are the ones we started. And now we are losing, by proxy, yet another war.
Look at where your Objectivist version of reason (statism) over faith has gotten this country.
Statist Atheism is rising, leftism is on the march, censorship is the order of the day, we are at war…..again, the border is wide open, child and drug trafficking are rampant, the Bidens continue their China/Ukraine grift, Conservatives are being arrested as political prisoners, the judicial system is a two tiered one, the Constitution is under perpetual attack, and the federal government is corrupted almost beyond repair because of Uniparty politics.
But hey, as long as you can write your statist lies about Christianity, free from being arrested and jailed because of your atheism, all is well, right.
You can’t lie your way out of your inherent totalitarian and statist tendencies.
“Ayn Rand” thinking is just as disruptive to civilization as tyranny is.
Yes it is. It accomplishes nothing productive.
She may well have been describing the Obama/Biden America ahead of her time.
William Burroughs commented similarly : “ I didn’t know how dangerous writing was until I started” . Hopefully that’s not too bad avparaphrase.?
Any correction accepted without the slightest offence 💪🏾
So what if the CCP dictatorship collapses? The end of a negative does not mean the beginning of a positive. The end of a dictatorship does not mean the beginning of freedom. The Soviet dictatorship ended in 1991 did that mean Russia became a free country, respecting individual rights? No. Russia is still a dictatorship with imperialist pretentions and imperialist escapades.
The end of the Chinese Communist Mafia in China will simply usher in another kind of dictatorship in China. Who knows they could even go back to having an emperor. The imperialist pretentions and escapades won’t stop, they’ll continue just as with Russia.
The real and crucial issue is America. If freedom, liberty, and capitalism completely collapse here that will mean a return to a religious dark age once again.
So you are a China expert now? Did you get a PhD in Mandarin?.
Just couldn’t help yourself could you. You just had to get in a little dig at religion, based on your obvious “expertise” in what goes on in this country.
You are an expert in your own paranoia.
Look around you. Americas mainstream religion is leftist atheism.
PRESIDENT TRUMP was RIGHT – as usual – about China and it’s ultimate goal – DESTRUCTION of the US! What better PUPPET could they have constructed out of pure evil and lack of morals than the BIDENS??? When PRESIDENT TRUMP put the tariffs in place and the companies began to COME BACK HOME or move to more “friendly” nations, China was put on notice that there was even MORE to come – or rather, LEAVE!! Maybe Epstein was the ultimate Chinese weapon???? Odd that none of all that EVIDENCE has never been acted on other than to imprison and hopefully silence Gishlaine. I would be SHE has copies in SAFE PLACES and will be getting released before the bidens are out of office!!!
Regarding point number two. If the CCP punishes corruption as you insist they do then they would punish all members of the communist party. The cost of any “successes” that have resulted from the communist predation is millions upon millions of murders, repression, slavery, and the crushing of the human spirt instigated by Mao and his successors. In my book that’s not success. And now they have another emperor in Xi (Is that his first name or last? Ping? Pong!) who continues the monstrous pathology of Karl Marx. The Chinese by the way have always favored being led around by the threat of force at the dictate of emperors, much like the Japanese did. My admittedly unscholarly theory is that all this has something to do with the written language and how it conditions thought.
China is on a long descent into irrelevance due to demographics. They are aging faster than any nation in history. By 2050 they are forecasted to have a population of 700 million. China knows this and could, in worst case scenario, make moves on the world stage such as invading Taiwan now instead of the future, but as a whole China will not be what the current talking heads are saying. Demographics are destiny and China’s is bleak.

So he was of by seven years.
Joe Biden’s different meetings with the Communist President of Red China, Xi Jinping, will always results in agreed to policies that will be very favorable to China and let him get away with his horrendous cruel oppression of the people of China as well as accepting Jinping international policies designed the lowering of the United States as a world power.
For Xi Jinping knows that Biden is very weak and feeble-minded and he even likes Socialism and will be very easily manipulated to be the useful idiot ,stooge , tool and” lap dog” of XI Jinping will able to use Biden to have do anything to wants him to do. In other words, Biden is his stooge and tool because he malleable, for old Joe very cognitively challenged since is an empty-headed mindless idiot.
For example, Joe Biden in a speech he declared Bogus “President” “Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
ONLY DIANNE FEINSTEIN AND MITCH McCONNELL WORK AS HARD FOR CHINA AS THE BIDEN BOYS FOR BRIBES
Biden Admin Weighs Dropping Sanctions on China in Exchange for Fentanyl Cooperation
The Biden administration may drop sanctions on a Chinese police forensics institute, allowing it access to U.S. technology, to entice China to cooperate in fighting the fentanyl crisis, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken during his diplomatic visit to Beijing last month suggested China and the United States create a working group to combat fentanyl. But China has long demanded the United States remove the police institute from its export blacklist before it will cooperate on the drug crisis, and the regime stuck to its position in last month’s meetings. Now, sources told the Journal, the administration is considering complying with China’s demand.
Its not just China, the U.N. is telling people from every country how to get into the U.S. and giving them maps for their journey. Its all part of the global plan by the elites, and the oliogarchs to Make us All One. Its sickening that this plan has been allowed to proceed to destroy our Sovereign nation.
Chuco is giving Ayn Rand boy a run for his money here in comment hogging and distraction. ugh!
And don’t forget Chinese controlled propaganda is what useful idiot leftists consume every day. I interact with college students. They often idealize China and Chinese policies.. They are repeating slogans but, for the young, and leftists of all ages, there’s no critical thinking or concern about where these slogans come from.
China influences our culture in ways many of us don’t even realize.
Thanks for pointing out the comments section abuse.
Very True. CCP gain control over many nations by going in and building modern infrastructure, highways, businesses, modern conveniences. They gain control of nations in many ways. They also use pandemics as we’ve experienced.
