  • Xi Jinping secured a historic third term as head of the Chinese Communist Party. Amid a punishing zero-Covid strategy, a struggling economy, and worsening relations with democracies, he’s committed more than ever to cracking down on anyone who challenges his reign.

    As a Chinese person I can clearly say that the younger generation is not nearly as fond of the chairman as most media would have you believe. For most people living in major cities like Shenzhen, most have access to VPN's and non-Chinese media (Which is how I've been able to watch youtube). In the past, Xi did significantly help the economy, but as the zero covid policy continues and Chinese economy starts to stagnate, public opinion of him is deteriorating. Combined with the issue of unemployment and the housing crisis, peoples trust in the gov has eroded a lot since his prime. I'm not surprised that there are still many avid supporters of Xi, but it's likely due to their access to other media platforms.

      The younger the Chinese are, the more patriotic they are. That is something that only people who are living in China know about.

      Tell me: why does the 331 million US have way more prisoners than 1.4 billion China. Way does the US generate 14 tons of CO² per capita - and China only 4 (taken into account that it does your dirty work)? Why don't regular Chinese cops wear guns - bit American fools do? Why has China near to no mass shooting...but the US more than a year has days? Why does the US have more representatives per capita than China? Why are the US and Western Europe shitholes that rely on luring in immigrants who then get exploited - and China doesn't. Short: you western whities aren't even 500 million - and you want to dictate to 7.5 billion. 🤣 You can be happy that we now are just tanking your economies because you aren't competitive. Not to mention how much disagreement exists between European countries, Europe and the US as well as US states. You are finished...and that's a very good thing.

But now Xi is the only one really making decisions, if something bad happens, there's less manuverability for for Xi to have a policy escape plan or a plan B, because he is the one who was chosen to always be right - even though the UK is a democracy, that's why we have a ministerial cabinet which the prime minister shares equal responsibility with with delegated power - it's like a separation or delocalisation of powers in a weird way, so that in China's case...

    Article does not address it's core message. What was his early life like? How did he get started in politics? How and why did the Chinese Communist Party congeal around him, instead of someone else? All this video does is attempt to demonstrate that Xi is a dictator whose policies may not be 100% great for China, and that he has limited interest in human rights. Yes. We've known that for some time. If you were going to go that route, you might have mentioned the Uighurs, the crackdown on free speech in Hong Kong, or the continued use of 'reeducation through imprisonment' labor camps. Further, I couldn't help but feel amused by your adding a 'hope spot' at the end of the video, as if a single sign of protest on a single highway overpass is in any way a sign that Xi's grip on power is anything but absolute. Even saying 'well, it's a start' is laughable when compared to 'real' protests elsewhere: the riots in Iran, the George Floyd protests in America, Egypt's Tahrir Square..the list goes on and on. This wasn't anything, let alone something for the internet and apparently yourselves to bother commenting on.
    This wasn't news, this didn't address your points, this was thinly veiled contempt for China's leadership. If you're going to run more of these pieces, at least make them substantive.

      Since my expertise are not needed in United States I'm going to give my work to you .
      First you must come away dictatorship and move into a contribution roles. Rewarding those citizens that works with government policies. Keeping power in your government by allowing city and state elections possible to give your people some power to cast there vote on gov and mayor of there state and towns . Keep in mind staying far away from a Democratic country in a must. Because with democracy there's a chance of massive corruption inside of government that nearly impossible to locate. Witnessed is American politics.
      Democracy was always a way for corruption to control government policies.
      So you see democracy is the dictator hidden in plain sight.
      Know we have your people having freedom in there every day lives . Let bring your economic future up to speed to give you maximum ability.
      Let go.
      First locking down how your AI is developed is key how your economic will drive future growths into the near future . Because AI will work well with your data tracks with economic growth.
      It's important to note that any growth there will bring vultures flying around that will love to be a part of that new growth. That where the part of being a dictator came in play. Those vultures job is to stop economic growth. Usually they come in form of new Developer like Elon musk, Tesla factory in witch his cars industry is in fact a vulture filled with promise of spying on your government conversation partnerd side by side with the NSA to cause inflation in your Market. You'll see how inflation started once that facility was developed. You wonder with that be promised to help your country with infections it has not. So not allowing new tec from America is a most because they are not ready to come out of days with assassination of president and civil rights leaders are normal. Until America actually locate who killed Jfk and mlk etc china can not trade key components like a quantum technology .
      Because of the amount of corruption in US politics china must not allow us politics to mix with china AI .
      Top 100 a must .
      Shorts Draft report to the indo policy to conduct free trade agreement . For the New Caribbean China initiative . warithakbar@leadglobalscientist.onmicrosoft.com
      Again I urge china to stop flying around Taiwan because it's not effective only anger your population around china because Taiwan is definitely part of China in so many ways. My I sudjest a day of respect to your brother neighboring country. By possible naval games and a month of honoring Taiwan freedom and prosperity . Know china, Japan, North Korea is with china and north Korea's developing together will be the most powerful alliance known to man . And as Russia being the sword of justice and China as being the wall street . With Beijing being the Global embassy for peace and North Korea and south Korea and bring the indo trade route . And Japan bring as the religion .. The base line how and when you should conduct war are deliver peace in the world . After this project peaceful sky is fully implemented you can deal with global warming.
      In This dome of peace you don't have to worry about how US will react. Because there is no conflict you cannot deal with yourself .
      And you can deliver a new Eco footprint with AI again developing along side of this strategy.
      Know what do you do about Elon musk trying to slow china economics growth.
      Well I say send a message and sezie is industry or do a buy out and tar the original contract up .
      Tell Elon musk your partnership is over .
      And cancel all Elon musk stock options in your Market or do a buy out of his stocks not allowing foreigne investors into your market unless they come into the way of the samurai way of peace and 0 corruption in their industry.
      You see Elon musk you chose the wrong bug to step on . This big will cost you everything.. For I am not to be stepped on bro . For I am not to be starved to death and left out of my organization board meeting.

      Although I will correct myself, there is no term limit for the CCP leadership - only the president of China. Meaning theoretically Xi could have continued as leader of CCP but resigned as president of China.

    In the comments, someone mentions how a leader gaining a cult following means he has to go, but that's a poor understanding of the cult of personality. The leaders CREATE the cult, people in China didn't decide to gradually worship Xi, this was years of purging and political maneuvering and here we have the result. Cult of personality is misunderstood I think because of the name and what it suggests. At no point did anyone ever establish a cult of personality without extreme repression.

    • @RobespierreThePoof
      @RobespierreThePoof Před rokem +9

      You make some good points but your view is also a little simplistic. There are, in fact, plenty of true believers. There needs to be enough of them for the cult of personality to be cultivated from the top. This is why there are sometimes political cults even in democratic nations, though they are much less common.
      It's also why it's possible in autocratic nations for s leader to draw enough true believers into positions of authority. If a police force has one true believer for every nine officers who simply want to be able to feed their families, that one cult follower has enough power to keep the entire force violently répressive in policing the people, because he has the ability to ruin the lives of those other officers by simply reporting them for infractions against the leader.

    I would love for you guys to sit down with the fellow CZcamsr Serpentza. He lives in China for quite a while and as as one of if not the first people to vlog from inside China on here, he's seen and documented TONS of things over the years - much of the darker things he kept to himself until recently when he escaped China. I use the word escaped quite accurately here as they were looking for him and one of his partners at the time of their leaving. Since then he's made numerous videos releasing the older footage he's collected and discussed all sorts of topics, many of them get really intense. It would be amazing for Vice to expose some of these things to a broader audience I feel.

It’s more to do with the fact that he proudly exists in the anti-china side of CZcams, alongside creators like China uncensored which is just openly owned by an anti-China religious group. Regardless of the fact that their grievances are justified, they are known to spread outright propaganda. Serpentza has even gone on their show with C-milk, and takes part in that side of youtube proudly. I like serpantza and c-milks content, but you have to really read between the lines sometimes, and they clearly have a bias. Although, you do have a point if she was kicked out of China as well, she’s not making a youtube channel dedicated to that while diving headfirst into the anti-china youtube community, and she is already known as a legitimate journalist.

Also, its weird how we attack Republicans for psdeo medical beliefs that people shouldn't be tested and given vaccine shots to counter the covid epidemic but we attack China's efforts in combatting covid by calling it draconian.

    Xi Jinping, You have been raised up to be a Leader among the people of China, a beautiful nation but please do not let yourself depart from God's Word. Did you know that the Word of the Lord is seven times refined. Yes, this is true. So should you or any man change the Words Christ left for His people this will not go well with you nor your people. I encourage you to keep the Bible as the Word of God in the written purity we read today. To change the Words of God will give a false doctrine and that would bring a time of great correction upon your House and family.
    Christ gave us His Testimony. He also gave mankind all mankind including the people of China their inheritance and wrote this in the Bible. We are joint-heirs in Christ Jesus. Who is we? All we who believe in Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Those who are non-believers have no inheritance in Jesus. I entreat you to study the Word of God and do not dishonor His Name as many other "leaders" have done. By dishonoring Christ, this would also dishonor Father God, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Walk in kindness, and forgiveness, and love because these days are wicked. Do not bring wickedness upon the families of Christ as former leaders throughout the earth have done. Christ will come soon. I believe He will come and our generation will be caught up in the air with Him. We will go the the marriage supper of the Lamb and then return for The Battle of Armageddon. Read the Bible, do not change it. Obey God's Word. You are not God. He existed before you were born and is alive forevermore. Love the Lord and give Glory unto Him. Lead others to Honor Him.
