    China is 5 years younger than the Soviet Union when it collapsed.

    Information is repressed in China (thanks google!) but people have ways

    The Hong Kong virus is in play

    Keep the pressure on them

    I read somewhere that the Soviet Union collapsed during their 13th 5 year plan and China is currently in theirs. Xi and big party bosses are obsessed with this fact and avoiding it supposedly.

    The difference is that for the average Chinese citizen life has improved. They are experiencing a higher standard of living. Food is more plentiful to more people. They can see the improvements in infrastructure and there is a sense among many Chinese people that the coming century will be theirs.

    Yes, they have plenty of problems, but they are not like the old Soviet Union.

    I'm just telling you that the CCP is obsessed with that fact. I thought it was interesting. Like I said, I expect decades before the mainland sees any real change. I expect things there to get worse before they get better.

    HK on the other hand. No idea where this is going.
