China
I rarely start threads but I'll just say it here: the current Chinese regime is evil.
It's running concentration camps that amount to ethnic cleansing and systematic genocide.
Some articles on the mass detentions:
CNN goes to Xinjiang and sees the mass detention camps in plain sight, along with mass state surveillance

Bunch of others

China's official line is they are trying to prevent terrorist attacks. What people see in plain sight is something far worse.
At the same time, China is openly "sinicizing" the region.
From Global Times, essentially China's equivalent of RT.
China basically tells Muslim leaders to get in line or... else

China is also openly encouraging mass Han migration to the region, old school Americans settling Indian lands style

They also harvested organs from the political prisoners.

The official line from Chinese government is they pledged to only get organs from "voluntary civilian organ donors" since Jan 2015. Kind of horrifying they basically admitted to state sanctioned organ harvesting up to that point.
Even the 2015 line is hogwash.

I don't even want to get into other ways China is openly challenging the global order and violating the rights of its own citizens. Just these should be revolting enough that anyone should pause before thinking about doing business in China.
Yeah, no clue what is going on there except maybe a public foot fetish performance
I read some comments and still couldn't figure out what was going on. The guy was over-dramatizing how much he was hurt so he could sue her some point down the line and the lady getting upset at this was the best I could do. But it could literally be the opposite.
that's exactly what it is
scammers will intentionally get hit and then overly dramatize the injury knowing that the cop is incentivized to avoid paperwork and push the offender to make a swift payment
lady wasn't having any of it and of course the guy was "unable" to defend himself because he was feigning a life threatening injury - but of course no ambulance because he needs to collect the money from her first
meanwhile the cop is like "please stop standing on his head until we resolve this"
i've witnessed this a million times
i've also witnessed first hand people hitting the cop who ruled against them - police in china are given 0 respect
Thus, there is a growing apprehension among analysts that China is becoming a neocolonial power in Africa because it exhibits similar political and economic patterns of interaction as the departed Europeans. A plantation/resource extraction form of colony has been identified based on the above activities and other similar interactions. Mark Langan, for example, remarked, “Chinese interventions are seen to perpetuate (neo)colonial trade and production patterns and to denude the exercise of empirical sovereignty.” Ian Taylor calls China’s engagements with Africa “oil diplomacy,” where Beijing aims to gain access to critical raw materials.

Zhuhai is a shot distance from where I was living. Since it was a bigger city, most people would naturally gravitate there and I spent a lot of time there as well. Really horrible.
Not really that important, but if anyone is curious what was going on with India and China a few years ago when they were fighting each other with sticks, here's a clip that was relased:
Graphic.
Spoiler
he's talking about this
https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chin...
happened right across the water from macau
whoever that channel is, he totally sucks and is a charlatan - didn't even mention the city where it happened - just pure fear mongering
it wasn't a terror attack, it was a 62 year old man who was upset about losing half his assets in a divorce - china has a big problem with mental health issues in that it's been stigmatized and people don't seek the treatment they need
read the above article for actual journalism
You can immediately disregard anyone talking to a camera in a suit on Youtube. They are all racist and/or grifters
he's lived in China for YEARS and is married to a chinese woman... he speaks the truth about China from someone that lives/has lived there.
Disregarding someone merely because they are on youtube is an issue because more truth comes independently than it does from corporate media outlets.
Independent news is where it's at.

Rickroll is calling him a charlatan and he lived in China for YEARS as well.

Look at his body of work, obviously has a bone to pick. I'm smelling fallen gong.
I wrote something pretty long with points etc. but I think I should skip that and make it simple.
One of my best friends is in China and I spoke with him last week. He will be in a first, second and several 3rd tier cities for about 5-6 weeks.
He did tell me that everyone that he spoke to and all of his friends, told him that things are not good at all.
Ie. Hey good to see you. I haven't seen you in a while (2-3 years,) how is it going......
Not good, RE, jobs, economy, outlook, all bad. I will get grill him on how things are when he comes back at the end of this month.
I believe that China is kicking the can down the road one more year by piling on more debt to create GDP, and that
they are still in for a number of hard years to come. The economy has not hit bottom yet.
In other china news there is a MSM news report that china hacked information from the dept of treasury.
As the MSM is hostile towards Trump and Elon, and may view the dependence of their core businesses on China, I expect the MSM will feature lots of stories like this in the next 4 years to drive a wedge to hurt Trump/Elon politically.
There is also a legitimate question whether Trump/Elons dependence on China is actually a double interest that can and will be exploited by China to undermine US interests.
But because of their anti Trump bias I don’t really trust the MSM to be balanced in reporting this type of stuff. I expect they will be much more vigorous reporting this kind of stuff in the next 4 years than the previous 4.
