A View of the Chinese Overlords from an Economics Professor...

Hmmm......
Almost contrary to what my boots on the ground folk in China are saying. Almost exactly opposite of what Obi Wan Blitzkrieg is saying.
My people's are saying Xi is rooting out the corrupt CCP members and is set on returning China to an Empire/very pro-capitalism (authoritarian model with Xi as the Emperor but still) - The corrupt CCP members are shitting their pants at what is going down. Xi looking to bring Taiwan back into the family.
True communism isn't his angle.

This was way too vague to fully interpret. So the "CCP is coming for everything" angle I think is something most of us already widely accept. But based on his conversations are pro-CCP folks more concerned about the long-term stability of China with Xi's regime and that he's becoming reckless? Or are they saying he's so powerful and oppressive that they fear a worldwide ushering-in of a Chinese dystopian nightmare?

I took it as they are scared Xi is leading them into either a world war or a complete economic isolation in his personal quest to have China rule the world and run over everyone internally or externally to get there. I also think the ChiCom Card-Carrying Communists have a optimistic view of the West's backbone and Xi probably has a more accurate one (as recent events show but that leads to a Tug discussion)...GreenRiverGatorz said:This was way too vague to fully interpret.

The CCP is meddling/investing/strong-arming in Africa, the Panama Canal, South America and throughout Asia and Australia. I would fully expect them to take Taiwan before the 2022 mid-term elections. I think they are a vampire sucking the resources out of every region they can.
The USA is in a position to stop them right now by blockading choke points in the South China Sea. This would cripple something like 80% of their trade. But we're too compromised probably to take such a bold stand. China and Russia are in talks right now as to no longer relying on the US dollar, since we are printing so much money that we're devaluing our own currency.
It's a bleak situation on several fronts.
But if S-1 goes through none of that will matter as much anyway. We will completely fuck ourselves long before the CCP pile drives America into the geopolitical canvas. -

That's how Japan has done so well since we defeated them.
That's how Germany has done so well since we beat them.
That's how we didn't take all the oil out of Iraq when we could have
That's how South Korea is grateful to America for helping them so much after the "conflict" against the North
