“China – Communist Slave State”

Paper Tiger

Though it has achieved impressive historical growth, China’s centralized economic system is headed for trouble.

Americans have legitimate concerns about China—and, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan sparking new tensions, those concerns are only growing—but what many fail to see is that Beijing is not the economic juggernaut it is often believed to be. On the contrary, China’s economy has become increasingly fragile. To use a word heavily overworked these days, its problems are systemic.

“Unprecedented” Live Fire & Blockade Drills After Pelosi Leaves Taiwan

On Wednesday, the Chinese military continued a series of massive exercises in the vicinity of Taiwan. The Chinese state media called them “joint blockade training,” AND Magazine reports.

The suggestion from the naming is that they would cut Taiwan off from the rest of the world by air and sea. The state media, China Global Times, makes that point clear in an article. They mention that Nancy Pelosi allegedly “violated China’s sovereignty” with her visit.

They then say this:

The exercises are unprecedented as the PLA conventional missiles are expected to fly over the island of Taiwan for the first time, the PLA forces will enter the area within 12 nautical miles of the island, and the so-called median line will cease to exist, experts said, noting that by surrounding Taiwan entirely, the PLA is completely blockading the island demonstrating the Chinese mainland’s absolute control over the Taiwan question.

China’s war games amount to ‘sea and air blockade’ of Taiwan

China’s unprecedented war games set to encircle Taiwan amount to a “sea and air blockade” of the island, Taipei said on Wednesday.

Some of Beijing’s planned military exercises will take place within Taiwan’s 12 nautical mile sea and air territory, according to the defence ministry.

China’s plans come after House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the highest-level US visit to Taiwan in 25 years when she touched down on Tuesday.

Trudeau’s Indo-Pacific Strategy Pretends Communist China Doesn’t Exist

Canada must put China ‘front and centre’ in Indo-Pacific strategy or it risks irrelevance, experts say

The federal government’s forthcoming Indo-Pacific strategy must explicitly recognize and respond to the security threat China poses to the region, experts say, otherwise Canada risks being regarded as irrelevant in a part of the world that is expected to be a centre of economic growth for decades.

The Indo-Pacific region, which stretches from North America to India’s west coast, is home to 60 per cent of the world’s population, and it accounts for 60 per cent of global gross domestic product. About 60 per cent of world maritime trade passes through its oceans, a third of that through the South China Sea, where Beijing has made sweeping territorial claims.

… Two sources with knowledge of the strategy said the first draft, which was compiled by a team from Global Affairs, made no mention of China.

The strategy should have one goal – Make Communist China a pariah state.

TikTok can’t escape its China problem

Cheap entertainment is not worth the CCP using your phone as a listening device

In 2020, then-president Donald Trump attempted to ban the wildly popular social media app TikTok. Its Gen Z influencers were horrified — how dare the bad orange man take away their right to vogue to teen beats in search of internet fame?

Unfortunately, we would not be shielded from TikTok’s insane viral trends (the latest involves users getting food poisoning after purchasing one creator’s mysterious and apparently highly perishable “pink sauce“). Trump’s order was stalled by legal proceedings and ultimately overturned by President Biden when he took office. Yet America still faces serious national security issues from TikTok due to its ownership by a Chinese company, ByteDance.

China military posts missile strike video as Taiwan preps for Pelosi arrival

China’s military posted ominous video of missile strikes, troops hurriedly grabbing their weapons and jet fighters taking off from airfields Monday, one day ahead of an expected visit to Taiwan by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Taiwanese media outlets reported that Pelosi (D-Calif.) would arrive on Tuesday night local time after visiting Malaysia on the second leg of her ongoing Asia trip, making the speaker the highest-ranking US elected official to visit the country since then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.

Enough of Joe Biden’s ‘He said-Xi said’

In a sign of how far and fast relations between China and the United States are falling, the nations can’t even agree on what their leaders said to each other in a conversation. It’s a tale of two versions of one telephone call.

The White House insists President Biden scolded Chinese President Xi Jinping about forced labor and genocide involving the Uyghur Muslims. China says that’s fake news and that Biden never raised either topic during the Thursday call between the two men.

A terrible feeling giving Communist China the benefit of the doubt.

The great fall of China

Will a housing revolt, jobs crisis and ‘zero Covid’ douse the dragon’s fire?

China is being swept by a new kind of protest — stealthy, rapid and difficult for the country’s communist leaders to suppress. Tens of thousands of homebuyers are withholding mortgage payments on their unfinished homes, fearing their money is being stolen by property developers.

The mortgage strike is snowballing and has reached more than 100 cities. Nine out of ten new properties in China are sold before they are finished, and advance payments are a lifeline for developers and banks. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is rattled and attempting to erase news of the protest from social media to stop the strikers organising.

The authorities have summoned China’s beleaguered banks to emergency talks to find a way out of a morass that threatens the health of the country’s tottering financial system.

Tom Cotton Says Biden Leaked Pelosi’s Taiwan Trip to Beijing

In her Friday press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) remained mum about whether her trip to Asia would include a stop in Taiwan citing security concerns for her congressional delegation of lawmakers heading abroad to show emphasis on the U.S. interest in Asia. According to U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), though, not everyone has been so tight-lipped about Pelosi’s travel plans.

Douglas Todd: Why China’s woes matter to Canada

Opinion: China’s economic problems and tough COVID measures have more Chinese people longing for Canada

China is in turmoil. The once-roaring housing market of the world’s second-largest economy is collapsing.

The regime’s harsh zero-COVID restrictions are causing bitterness and anger.

Beijing’s stepped-up quest for “common prosperity” has many worried their savings and assets aren’t being treated as actually theirs — and could be confiscated by Communist party rulers in the name of equality.

More people, especially the rich, want to escape.

And this is a good thing why?

China: Biden’s White House Is Lying, Joe Never Brought Up Genocide and Forced Labor with Xi

Faux-president Old Joe Biden spoke with China’s President Xi Jinping for over two hours on Thursday, but what they talked about is a matter of some dispute. The White House, understandably given Joe’s marginal grasp on the English language and rational discourse these days, released no transcript, instead giving us a terse one-paragraph “readout” on the call. Then Karine Jean-Pierre told the assembled Leftist media sycophants and Peter Doocy that Tough Old Joe called out Xi for genocide and forced labor in China, and China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) was annoyed: Joe, the Chinese said, did no such thing. Now, who are you gonna trust? The Chinese Communist Party, or Lyin’ Joe Biden?

Biden is an enfeebled dupe.
