    –“If true, this represents a huge shift in Xi’s policies, if not his political standing within the CCP.”–

    While I’m a decent student of chinese history at least until 1900, I can’t think like chinese leadership. I can easily think like Russian leadership. Sometimes I would love to live there long enough to internalize it. So I’m stuck, like all other analysts in the world, with working from incentives given fragmentary knowledge. 😉

    So, that said … reading the ccp tea leaves is far harder than the kremlin. The kremlin is deliberate and always manipulative. It’s predictable. The CCP uses incremental suggestion that can be adjusted if it spins poorly with the population. It’s almost impossible to understand the correlation between statements, indirect statements, leaks, and rumors.

    This particular ‘leak’ which was translated by Lei, is written in tone and content as if it’s CCP material, and it’s leaked in a manner that tests the waters so to speak in proper chinese cultural tradition, before doubling down and creating the possibility of blame for failure.

    But given that Xi is demonstrating weight loss indicative of health problems, and that other leaks have suggested it’s pancreatic, there is some possibility that this is opposition content instead of his.

    However, if we look at his demeanor both in California and afterward it has been … surprising in the least … that he is pivoting to favor his economy over strategic expansion so rapidly.

    So again, reading the tea leaves, this could be honest recognition of the failure of his aggressive program and defense of the CCP rule by shifting position; it could be that he is changing his state of mind given his own sense of vulnerability within the party whether ill or not; and it could be that the opposition smells blood and is preparing the way for a change in direction; or it could be a feint by Xi or his opposition to buy time for the ancient and consistent traditional Chines strategy of ‘delay and deceive’ until the economy has adjusted and the CCP is in a less vulnerable position domestically that it can return to aggressive expansion in the hopes that less strategic civilizations (the west in particular) will dedicate it’s attention elsewhere, and restore it’s investment in china, using the west to facilitate china’s ascent.

    I mean. It’s sure as heck what I would do. 😉

  • THE LEFT WAS WRONG – WE DIVERGED – BUT THEN OVER TIME THE LEFT IS ALWAYS WRONG.

    THE LEFT WAS WRONG – WE DIVERGED – BUT THEN OVER TIME THE LEFT IS ALWAYS WRONG.
    Feminine intuition doesn’t scale.
    @ScottAdamsSays

    Of course.
    (a) The left assumed we would converge – the left is feminine, It cannot imagine anything violating feminine solipsism.
    (b) However we (the sexes) have diverged – not really. The feminine have diverged from the masculine, just as the left has diverged from the center, while the right has barely moved.
    (c) Because we no longer have a need to compromise with one another
    (d) Because while we remain reproductively dependent we are no longer economically socially and politically dependent.
    (e) Because it is possible to externalize our intertemporal costs to others in the polity through taxes and redistribution without family formation and intergenerational production of population.

    So yeah. Men and women will continue to diverge, populations will continue to crash, until we restore the necessity of production of families in order to obtain the benefits of modern institutions of insurance at scale.

    So yeah.
    It’s just science.
    The science of incentives.
    But god forbid the left accept science if it conflicts with their genetic predisposition to solipsism and feminine rent seeking, baiting into hazard, free riding, in pursuit of unearned hyperconsumption. 😉

    They’re just women, and women are just sexually mature children – they never mature beyond the self and the empathizable. It a takes men longer to mature because men mature more – across time and space. So get over it and do something about it. 😉

    Men have to be responsible beyond the empathic into the systemic because only men are capable of responsibility both instinctually, intuitively, emotionally, cognitively, and intellectually with sufficiency to organize polities that don’t collapse from feminine irresponsible hyperconsumption the absence of production of offspring.

  • ANTI-ISRAEL? WHY NOT PRO ISRAEL? Hmmm… Support them there so they go there? If

    ANTI-ISRAEL? WHY NOT PRO ISRAEL?
    Hmmm… Support them there so they go there? If you don’t support them there, more will come to you? While there are only 6-7M Jews in israel, there are about the same number 6.3M in the USA. And smaller numbers in France (440,000), Canada (398,000), the United Kingdom (312,000), Argentina (171,000), Russia (132,000), Germany (125,000), and Australia (117,200). So under 2M outside of Israel and the USA. They are only safe in the anglosphere and broader germanosphere at present it seems.

    Conversely, israel, with a population of an additional eight millon, jews, totalling under 15M, would approximate the population of the Netherlands, and it’s per capita GDP of 50k, and total economy of 1T. This would have (and have to have) an extraordinarily positive strategic, economic, educational, and eventually cultural impact on the middle east, assisting them in their slow ascent out of supernatural m aysticism ignorance, mandated non-education, and economic subsistence without the oil revenues.

    WHAT ABOUT THE NEGATIVE EFFECT OF JEWS IN THE WEST?
    Of course we could just make a few adjustments in our laws to prevent baiting into hazard, privatizing gains and socializing losses.

    And we could outlaw sedition using the female to feminine to abrahamic-to-marxist sequence – so that we we equally suppressed feminine jewish abrahamic marxist antisocial behavior. Because feminine behavior is genetic, instinctual, and all but unsuppressable, especially their antisocial behavior.

    And we could return all credit expansion to the treasury and end the coercive and rent seeking power of the private financial sector, and vastly increase the treasury without increased taxation – perhaps even replacing taxation.

    And of course (my) our organization has prepared all that constitutional law as permanent amendments. So it’s easily done.

    And then it wouldn’t matter that jewish group evolutionary strategy, jewish instinct, and jewish culture was just the expression of female sedition against males by means of seduction into baiting into hazard and subsequent rent seeking, instead of earnings from production and reciprocal exchange free of negative externalities. 😉

    But then as usual I’m probably talking over heads…. Hopefully someone catches on, a little at a time. 😉

    We dont need to keep adding to the list of 109 explosions and we don’t need any more violence. We only need to domesticate women and jews, just as we have domesticated other groups in europe, on group, one class at a time. It’s just that women and jews together during teh 20th were a bit much when we were christian conservatives and foolishly optimistic as hour hight trust society and culture teach us… despite that it’s also a vulnerability as well as a benefit.z

    Codify the feminie-jewish-abrahamic- marxist sequence as what it is: crime. And institutionalize it in our legal code. And purge that behavior from our polities forever, just as we have incrementally purged all other antisocial behavior.

    Because male antisocial behavior is more obvious and urgent we acted on it first. But now that we can industrialize liying sedition and rent seeking and parasitism through indirect institutional means we must also suppress the feminine as thoroughly as we have suppressed the masculine.

    From my standpoint I see women and jews as an asset just as I see other europeans as an asset or all higher performing people as an asset. The difference is we did not force jewish integration and they instead undermined our demand for integration and the consequence has been horrific. That said, ‘fixing’ the problem of the feminine isn’t that difficult as I’ve roughly outlined above. So why not preserve the asset even if there is a short term cost to it. And even if we should have made this legal change already regarding women independent of the jewish baiting of women into their strategy of sedition.

    Of course it takes political power to do so and that might men we cannot do so democratically, but must do so responsibly by ‘other means”.

    By painful truth regardless
    For the betterment of all

  • TEXAS DOESN’T NEED THE USA – HERE’S WHY: There is no central bank other than the

    TEXAS DOESN’T NEED THE USA – HERE’S WHY:
    There is no central bank other than the central banking system that is a collection of regional central banks. Texas has one of the central banks, a treasury and can print money. It has its own ports, its own fuel, it’s own electrical grid, and is responsible for 15% of total US trade and is the top US trading partner. As a separate country, with an economy of $2.4 trillion, Texas would be the eight largest economy in the world, just behind India, the UK and France, and ahead of Canada, Russia and Italy. Texas has a population approaching that of Canada, and at 120,000 it has more armed forces than any state other than California, and the Virginia-Georgia-North-Carolina military ‘core’. And its armed civilian conservative population is six times the size of the military’s fighting capacity. And the military has lost every war against domestics it’s ever fought. There are only three US cities capable of fielding police forces of any number in an uprising – and many of those men would choose sides. You have no knowledge of just now little power developed countries have against their own population. Advanced countries keep order by the utility of their economies not because they can apply force against the population,. Compare with Russia where the majority of the government does the exact opposite. If texas were to seceded, reduce private and corporate taxes, and produce a currency of its own backed by say, oil, it would cause capital flight to texas on a scale comparable only to the UK flight to the USA during and after the world wars. Subsequently the central agrarian territories of the USA and central and western canada would secede and join Texas. The south would follow. And the coasts, the rust belt would be successful but strategically weak isolates. This would destroy the dollar a sthe world reserve currency, and destroy the capacity of the USA to field a military and diplomatic corps capable of

    Now, while most of my time is spent on constitutional, legal economic, and policy reform, this kind of thing – geostrategic competition – is my job. But do you think there aren’t dozens of men like me in the state department, intelligence, military intelligence, and general staff, and military wings of the government that don’t understand this just as well as I do? The demarcation between those of us who do and those who don’t, is whether we understand total war, including economic and demographic war and the interdependence between them.

    The difference between those folks and the few of us in the private sector, is that if you’re dependent on US funds for research, like Rand or other think tanks, you can’t say it. If you’re paid by the federal government you can’t say it. If you’re paid by investors you can’t say it. But I’m paid by myself and private donors. So I can say what they can’t.

    That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t say it if they could.

    It is not at all clear, that given the disdain for the USA is due to what the world perceives as “coastal immoral degenerate hedonism” riding on american military and economic power, that the world wouldn’t be far better off without the end of coastal influence on not only the rest of the country but on world affairs in general.

    People around the world have no problem with rule of law and the proceeds. They are not so sure about democracy. And the yare not at all sure about capitalism. But they are very sure about the marxist-to-woke religion of degeneracy that they see as destroying their culture and harmony between classes and sexes, at the cost of the family and love and security it provides.

    In fact, secession, isolating the coasts, causing responsible people to flee the cities to the responsible territories, forming new moral cities, and leaving decadent cities with an elite core, an impoverished circle around it, might in fact be just what the world needs.

    And I’m not entirely confident that I’m only using hyperbole as an example that might cause introspection but there is more than an element of my subconscious that thinks that in fact this might be ta better thing for the world.

    HOW THE SUPREME COURT WILL DECIDE “TRUMP ON THE BALLOT”.

    DRAFT
    This draft started with myy Interview Prep for Stew Peters Interview Dec 22nd on The CO Ruling re Trump on the ballot.

    The Supreme Court’s Concern

    What was the State of mind of Trump – What was he attempting to do if anything?
    What were the ambitions of the participants in Jan6 event – what were their reasons and ambitions?
    Whether it was an insurrection or not?
    (Given: |Severity|: Demonstration > protest > riot > rebellion, > insurrection > civil war > facilitation of conquest by others)
    Whether defining Jan 6th as an insurrection opens the door to more abuses of the courts in these matters?
    Whether they want to permit the states to circumvent the people, given the presidency and the electoral college are federal tests of concurrency, in lieu of a high court findings of an insurrection. Conversely, whether the court feels it is the only viable institution capable of making that decision. (Note: Probably. The legislture lacks the constraints of a court, and as such legislatures solve political questions but not legal questions. While say, impeachment is a political question (decision, agreement), insurrection is a legal question (fact,disagreement).)
    Whether they want to enable the use of similar pretenses of insurrection to disqualify any candidate by his words, his deeds, or by constructive undermining of a candidate through causing conflict and escalation independent of the will of the candidate.
    Whether they want a minority of states to deprive the majority of states and the people from a candidate. This means that if the federal legislature and if necessary the supreme court do not issue findings of insurrection or higher crimes, then then no state my deter a presidental candidate from the ballot.
    Whether any other externalities would be produced that might effect the electoral process as a test of the people by concurrency. There are plenty of reasons the people might want a radical change in the policy of the governmetn without replacing the system of government or even altering the constitutions – such as whether the deep state really exists and really is working against the interests of the people – especially where the test of concurrency exists across our constitution to preserve minority interest not advance majority interests over them.
    What Were The Demands of The Jan 6 Participants?
    Ask Yourself These Questions:
    What do you think the demands of the Jan 6th Participants were?
    Were they to overthrow and replace the constitution or government with a different one, or modify the constitution, or enact or withdraw legislation or law?
    Were they challenging the legitimacy of the constitution, or the goverment, or were they challenging the failure to address their concerns regarding the conduct of the election?
    Were they demanding congressional or court inquiry into the electoral process because they percieved it corrupted – and thus seeking delay of change of office until the matter was settled?

    As such, in their minds, right or wrong, did they believe they were protesting a FAILURE of the government to follow the law and due process or were they seeking?
    What did the hours of video illustrate?
    Presidential Context (Trump)
    Which of those criteria above was Trump seeking? (discounting the tendency of the left’s feminine mind to magical thinking)
    What did he, in his state of mind, think and believe?
    So were the Jan 6 participants protestors or rioters, rebels, or insurrectionists?
    Well, that last question requires some analysis…
    So… let’s take a look…

    Our Hierarchy of Courts
    In the US system of law, which is under the common law, meaning ’empirically discovered law’ by the court, accumulated over time, and whether empirically discovered by concurrency, we have a hierarchy of courts from probate, to bankruptcy, to family, to civil, to criminal, and oddly, a separate one for the military.  But in the continental law system they also have administrative and constitutional courts.  Those courts are for juridical defense against the state (administrative courts) and against the rules the state (constitutional courts).
    In the USA we are ‘privileged’ to experience all the excitement of working through a hierarchy of lower courts that are of questionable competence in matters of constitutionality – especially interpretation – before we reach the supreme court, and their army of clerks, who do settle matters of constitutionality. Worse, we have no administrative court, nor do we retain juridical defense against constitutional violations (Such as the IRS seizure of funds, or the police seizure and confiscation of assets, or the cost of their recovery, or the punishment of the individuals who act against the citizenry.) (Opinion: While some state appellate and supreme courts are adequate (if you read their findings) In my opinion everything below the federal appeals court is questionable, and it depends on the circuit – especially the 9th’s notorious williness to legislate from the bench – and only with the restoration of the supreme court’s mission by recent appointments has our strict rule of law been restored.)

    Recent Rulings

    TEXT OF COLORADO RULING BY JUDGES –  DISTRICT JUDGE SARAH WALLACE
    ( … ) [Insert  my comments from the court’s findings here]

    https://t.co/lmGeV01MHI

    The Judges, cross the spectrum are divided.

    Existing Constitution, Amendment, And Legislation Text
    In the Constitution of the United States, the term ‘insurrection’ is used in the context of the government’s power to respond to domestic uprisings. The specific references are:

    ARTICLE I, SECTION 8

    Clause 15: This clause gives Congress the power “to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.”

    Context and Implication: This empowers Congress to call upon state militias to suppress violent uprisings against the government.

    ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4

    The Guarantee Clause: This section states, “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”
    Interpretation: While it doesn’t use the term ‘insurrection’ explicitly, this clause is understood to refer to the federal government’s obligation to protect states against domestic unrest, which includes insurrections.

    14TH AMENDMENT, SECTION 3
    Disqualification Clause: Enacted in the wake of the Civil War, this section addresses individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States. It states that no person shall hold any office, civil or military, under the United States or any state, who, having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

    DEFINITION IN THE CONSTITUTION
    The Constitution does not provide a specific definition of ‘insurrection.’ The understanding of the term is derived from its general use at the time of the Constitution’s writing, historical context, and subsequent legal interpretations. In general, it refers to an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

    SUPPLEMENTARY LAWS AND INTERPRETATION
    U.S. Code Title 18, Section 2383 (Rebellion or Insurrection): While not part of the Constitution, this section of the U.S. Code defines and sets penalties for acts of rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or its laws.

    Supreme Court Cases and Legal Interpretation: The interpretation of what constitutes an insurrection, particularly in complex cases, often falls to the judiciary, including the Supreme Court.

    In conclusion, while the U.S. Constitution references the concept of insurrection, it does not provide a detailed definition, leaving this to supplementary laws and judicial interpretation. The references are primarily in the context of the powers and responsibilities of the federal government to suppress and respond to insurrections.

    Definition of an Insurrection and an Uprising

    All insurrections are uprisings but few uprisings are insurrections

    ( … ) Finish these definitions

    Historical Definition of an insurrection

    Rebellion Against Authority: Typically, an insurrection was a movement against a ruling government, monarchy, or colonial power.
    Organized and Collective: Insurrections involved a collective action of a group of people, often motivated by political, social, or economic grievances.

    Use of Force: These movements frequently involved the use of force, though the scale and organization could vary from small-scale uprisings to larger, more organized rebellions.

    Intention to Change the Status Quo: The primary aim was to bring about change, whether in the form of policy reforms, independence from colonial powers, or the overthrow of an existing government.

    Permission to Change the Status Quo: In the Declaration, as in the long history of the common law, as in it’s english, germanic, roman and pre-roman sense, it is explicity stated that the people have the right and obligation to overthrow and replace the goverment under certain conditions that violate what at the time was considered the natural law and the ‘rights of englishmen’. Today we would state it’s the constitution which embodies them.
    In other words, the government is designed to protect minority rights against majoritarian democratic government. In this sense it is an anti-majoritarian system of participatory government.

    As such the constitution puts in place a competition between the US population(for the house), the state legislature (for the senate), and the state parties (for the president) – and the people, their parties, and the states,The Context: Each individual state elects its legislature. The states elect their members of the federal legislature both house (creating equality of population’s interests) and senate (creating equality of states’s interests). The people’s advocates of each state elect the president via the electoral college.–“The founders felt “…a straightforward popular vote was unfair, as it would give too much power to larger, more populous states. They also worried that public opinion could be too easily manipulated, and feared direct election might lead to a tyrannical leader…The result of this struggle was the Electoral College, where the American people vote not for president and vice president, but for a smaller group of people, known as electors. These electors then cast their votes directly for president and vice president, at a meeting held several weeks after the general election.”–

    The result is (in most cases) that the Electors are appointed by the parties of each state in proportion to their members in the legislators – though they may not be govt employees – only citizens. As such the Electors represent the power of the parties in the legislature of the state, and of the states collectively, in approving the president. Simple Version: the Electors are a Jury that the people’s election of the president must pass (certify).Prior to the 17th Amendment, legislatures appointed senators from each state. This was only changed to direct vote because there was no mechanism for filling seats that sat vacant and thus impeded the Senate from producing legitimacy through the full participation of members.(Note: the 17th amendment was most probably if not certainly a mistake, as it could have required that a sitting senator had to be replaced in order for the seat to be vacated fully, and that in the case of legislative failure in any state, the governor could appoint a temporary senator, and failing that, the majority party – which would have been the optimum combination of rules.)

    Change (Creep) In Definition of Insurrection –  To Justify The Managerial State It’s Authority.

    Broadening of Contexts: While originally associated primarily with large-scale rebellions against governments or colonial powers, the term has come to be applied to a wider range of actions, including smaller-scale uprisings and riots against various forms of authority or governance structures.
    Perception and Connotation: The perception of insurrections has also changed. In some historical contexts, insurrections, especially those leading to successful independence movements or significant social change, have been viewed positively. In other cases, they are seen as illegal or illegitimate challenges to established order.
    Modern Usage: In contemporary times, the term can be used to describe a wide range of political or social disturbances, from armed rebellions to more symbolic acts of defiance against authority.

    Legal Definition of an Insurrection

    -“In modern legal contexts, “insurrection” often has a specific definition and connotations. For instance, in the United States, it is defined in legal terms relating to the rebellion against the authority of the state or federal government”-

    The Difference Between a Protest, A Riot, and Insurrection, a Coup, and a Civil War

    Intensity and Legality: Insurrections are often perceived as more intense and are more likely to involve violence or armed resistance. They are usually considered illegal and a direct challenge to the legitimacy of the government. Public uprisings, while potentially disruptive, might not always reach the threshold of illegality or direct challenge to state sovereignty.

    Court findings in the past

    ( … ) List the (few) cases and how they were related to the civil war or communism, and why they should have sunset

    Supreme Court’s Concerns

    The Court, which is a product of the Federalist Society (meaning we can make a difference) that began in 1982 by students of Yale, Harvard, and Chicago Law schools, (and of which I am clearly a product) was a reaction to the abuse of the legal system, circumventing the people and the legislature, through “Lawfare” or ‘legal activism’ throughout the fifties, sixties, and seventies (
    Sovereignty: “The People Are Sovereign, The Constitution Empowers the Government on to act on Behalf of the people, under tests of concurrency in legislation and regulation, commonality in findings of law by the courts, and Due Process in the production of both. As such only the people, via their legislatures may make new law.”
    Textualism and Originalism: The body of law is a ledger of positive liberties, negative constraints, including rights obligations and inalienations and the due process of their formation and application. All languge consists of measurements. And words and phrases are weights and measures of time and place. As such the legal meaning of words and phrases does not change over time. As such if the people decide the legal meaning of words and phrases must be changed, then that meaning must follow the due process of the legislature. Secondly, ‘given no law no crime” this process may not be retroactively applied to past events. As such the court, using the language (text) of the legislation or findings of the court must interpret that language as a weight and measure in the context in which it was wirtten (originalism). It can then clarify how that meaning in weights and measures

    The Underlying Problem
    IMO The underlying problem is the postwar left’s migration from europe to the states and converting from sedition by economic false promises to the lower and working classes by claims of oppression, to sedition and social and economic false promises to minorities by claims of oppression. They said what they were goign to do, h ow they were going to do it “march through the institutions of cultural production” and

    (a) The ignorance of the public
    (b) the motives of the left and the education system captured by the left to keep the public ignorant so that they can be manipulated through the use of words – an act we call social consturction (and which should be a crime),
    (c) the consequences of decline in education,
    (d) the war against the law by the postwar left
    (e) the quality of judges largely able to handle criminal, civil, and some administrative matters – even though questionably – and the few judges capable of constitutional matters because of the failures of all of the above.
    (f) the eight holes in the constitution (which I’ve repaird in our reforms) that make this abuse of our law, and the circumvention of the legislatures, the constitution, and the people by modifying the public meaning of words and phrases against the people’s understanding and transparency, instead of altering the content of the constitution, legislation, regulation, and law transparently with the understanding and transparency and concurrency of the people. Why? Because the people would not tolerate it. And even men did not tolerate it – but women did, and continue to do so, as they are the deciding factor thta moves left with every election, and degrades our academic institutions with every passing year.

    It’s an Easy Fix. But is it easily fixed via our captured institutions?

    ( … ) Explain our fix and how absurdly simple it is (it’s just ending lying and fraud in public and finishing it in the market)

    You are terribly mistaken. If the red states secede and restore the previous limits on human behavior the productive classes will continue their flight from urban areas and the continued ‘destruction of cities’ turning them into favelas will accelerate.

  • China’s 2024 Five Strategic Adjustments (From Lei’s translation) #china #ChinaBi

    China’s 2024 Five Strategic Adjustments
    (From Lei’s translation) #china #ChinaBiz
    These adjustments are consistent with the messaging out of the CCP after Xi’s visit to the US this fall. Lei believes that this is positioning for foreign consumption but that the world has no trust in Chinese words. That does not mean that the CCP will not in fact pursue some or all of these policy changes.

    THE FIVE ADJUSTMENTS
    1. “Smiling pandas will replace wolf warriors. China’s diplomacy will adopt a low profile and actively seek to improve relations relying on diplomats who understand the west, because if the west withdraws from china its economy will be crushed.”

    2. “Ending the belt and road initiative – it’s at end of life. The 1T dollars we have invested cannot be repaid. With about 80% of these investments becoming bad debt. With china facing a shortage of funds, china cannot continue this initiative.”

    3. “Activating de-escalating geo-political hot spots and conflict zones. There has never been a plan to use force against Taiwan. In the next few years we can expect tensions to ease in our conflict zones, although unforeseen incidents may occur a large scale conflict is unlikely.”

    4. “Aggressively attracting foreign investment and opening up china. China will also provide a one sided visa waiver for business travelers coming to china. China has realized that the world can exist without china but china cannot exist without the world. The model of an economic self reliance program has been abandoned. China’s economic model relies on both imports and exports, with the significant decline in exports affecting China.”

    5. “Reducing the use of economic measures for achieving diplomatic goals. The country will find it increasingly difficult to use economic measures to achieve objectives. China requires import of resources and export of consumer good to prosper.”

    CLOSING
    China is entering a strategic contraction phase, returning to Deng’s hide one’s strength and bide one’s time (this is std chinese military strategy). China’s GDP will drop to 50% of the US. And the severe domestic issues and crises will require full attention of the government. During this time the tech gap will widen. Some speculate that china amid internal difficulties may gamble with external conflict. But these people do not know the opinion of the leadership.

    MORE…
    Feedback to CCP from Provincial Leaders Last Fall:
    1. Stop wolf warrior diplomacy and restore relations with the west. and stop the exodus of foreign companies
    2. Relieve the restrictions on real estate and let local governments control their own strategy and marketing.
    3. Stop the discriminating policies that target private companies and give them the same status as state enterprises to revive economic momentum.

    Xi’s Health
    Xi’s dramatic weight loss in so few weeks is indicative of some health problem but the rumor that it’s pancreatic cancer is unsubstantiated.
