To be fair, disappearing generals and politicians in a totalitarian dictatorship isn't necessarily a sign of dissent It could just be a sign that Xi is increasingly paranoid, as dictators often are
Great point, and I would add just because a foreign minister or defense minister disappeared doesn't mean that they are in favor of liberalization and turning China into a democracy, they could be even more hardline than Xi and just disagree with how hes governing.
Having lived in China for close to 8 years, I have noticed in places like Shanghai and Guangzhou that the young people are growing tired and losing (or have already lost) confidence in the Communist Party. They certainly know they don't have any choice when it comes to deciding where they want their country to go.
My wife's family figured out China was a garbage dump 60 years ago when her family fled thru Hong Kong to the USA. Here the siblings all earned advanced degrees and are doing well.
Would your observation explain how and why so many military aged Chinese men have entered into the US illegally across the southern border? I certainly hope they came here because they've lost hope under the CCP and not as agents of the PLA!
Is the CCP fascist? Dictatorial leader - check. Centralised autocracy - check. Forcible oppression of opposition - check. Subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the state - check. Strong regimentation of the economy and society - check.
@@stephen1569 well you can quit your company... you can't quit China, you get disappeared or followed around the world. Try comparing living under Chinese rule with your previous employer to a citizen of HK and you will get little patience.
The only thing I would add is that the world dictator club wants a new member sitting in the USA. Trump could be paid off to ignore a PRC invasion of Taiwan, as well as refuse to honor Article V to defend NATO members. Whatever might be the interest of the United States will take back seat to what is in Trump's interest.
Xi knows time is limited for him to invade Taiwan given economical conditions It also carries great risk given the current wars in Ukraine and Middle East show the difference in quality of weaponry
Thanks. There does appear to be something going on politically within the CCP with shifts in how Xi is presented in pictures and with the 'purging' of many senior offices who are Xi loyalists from the PLA. How this plays out is yet to be indicated.
One of the worst parts of invading Taiwan would be the economic pain for China - so if the economy is already tanking they may feel they might as well - even more so if you need to explain to the Chinese people why the economic suffering is happening to keep power….. of course it would ALL be the fault of the USA for stoking nationalism in the face of results from poor decision making 😂😂

@TimesRadio, you've got to stop writing titles for your videos like this without at least quotes and suggestion it's an opinion. The titles and the titles in the thumbnails are completely sensationalistic and not befitting of the brand. It's totally misleading and clickbait. I'm going to keep reporting your articles every time you do this.

Like all dictatorships, it can break apart in 20 years or in 20 seconds…
Yip like the usa or their drooling lapdogs like Britain l?

Chinese economy is not stagnant at all. It is collapsing into a bottomless pit. It’s not coming up anytime soon. Maybe many decades later.
Is the CCP fascist?
Dictatorial leader - check.
Centralised autocracy - check.
Forcible oppression of opposition - check.
Subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the state - check.
Strong regimentation of the economy and society - check.
Same applies to most extremists, but they are not identical - Maoist Cambodia engaged in mass extermination, for example, like another famous example

This list sounds really close to America's Democrat party. All that is missing is the dictatorial leader.
What will happen to the Chinese trolls, after Xi falls?😢

Very interesting. Thank you.

Back to Western civilization.

They’d invade to defect from the tanking economy. Always the same playbook from dictators.
The CCP operates a nationalist state. It also operates a socialist state. Therefore we could say it is a national socialist party/state...
Either they having a birthday 'PARTY'...
Or
The goverment has been elected amongst many parties...
Which one is it?
🤷♀️
You probably believe in the tooth fairy also.
Xi is done …
Magical thinking, sorry
