Raising Awareness of the CCP in the news [POLITICAL]

Scalenex said:
I don't like Russia and I have sympathy for Ukraine. I am not sure whether the United States, NATO, and/or the European Union should intervene militarily on Ukraine's behalf or not. I suppose I am glad I am not required to make that call.

Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps I am being selfish, but my impression is that Putin's government is a threat to all of Russia's neighbors and the CCP is a threat to the entire world.

Right now Russia's government is Vladomir Putin. According to wikipedia, he is just shy of 70 years old. The shirtless photos he likes to display suggest he is good health and thanks to his friendship with the CCP he has a limitless supply of human organs to harvest but he is not immortal. I don't know who Putin's successor will be, but I doubt his successor will be as cunning and ruthless as he is. It's not like Putin dying will help Ukraine, but I think it will slow down Russia from invading more stuff. Even if Putin's successor is very formidable, Putin's successor is going to have spend years proving he is formidable so he's going to have spend years putting down internal challenges. I'm sure there are lots of special interest groups, both evil and benign are eagerly waiting to assert themselves once Putin's iron fist slackens.

Xi Jinping is just shy of 69 years old. Whether or not he managed to remain party chairman for his entire life, I believe his successor will pursue near identical policies, so will his successor's successor.

Hindsight is 20/20, the invasion of Ukraine could have been prevented if the United States, Native, and/or the European Union read the tea leaves and took preparations years ago, but it's too late now. If we could take a time machine back six months, it's too late then too. I don't know where the point of no return was.

My understanding, perhaps it's oversimplified but Ukraine wanted to join NATO and Russia was like "Hey NATO, don't do that, you might provoke us. You are actually endangering Ukraine." and NATO, the United States, and the EU were cowed. Maybe that was the tipping point, maybe something else was.

We (the entire free world) needs to fortify Taiwan and needs to recognize them as an independent country and they do this incrementally in steps ASAP.

China Unscripted had a lengthy podcast talking about parallels between Ukraine and Taiwan.

"Will supporting Taiwan provoke the CCP/PLA?"

The answer is that it doesn't matter. The CCP/PLA is going to invade Taiwan when they believe they are likely to succeed. They will not invade Taiwan when they believe they are likely to fail. Whether or not the United States or anyone else "provokes" them is irrelevant.

The outcome of this Russia-Ukraine conflict (or the world's response to it), might very well influence the course the China-Taiwan relationship takes... either dissuading China from making a serious move or emboldening them.
 
I had a cautious sense of optimism growing as awareness of the CCP's evil grows. Now that fragile optimism is smashed to pieces.

This is so dumb it boggles my mind. I suppose the video ends on a more optimistic note, but the damage was done.


Asking the CCP for help on anything is problematic but asking the CCP to curb Putin's territorial ambitions is like asking my friend's dog to guard my sandwich.

"How to embarass yourself" - Video lesson n. 1
 
The CCP is pretending to have nothing to be completely neutral on the Ukraine thing while doing crap like this.

I knew I liked Keanu Reeves. I heard often that he is humble and gracious to his fans and to the crew of the movies he is on.

He gives a lot of money to charity and needy individuals personally, but he doesn't broadcast it loudly for virtue signaling points.

Now the CCP is mad at him. That's even better. You can judge a man's worth by his enemies.

As they say: "The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but the quickest way to @Scalenex 's heart is through opposition to the CCP."

This is interesting. I don't know if it's cause for optimism. The CCP may be unraveling. But many people (both in China and elsewhere) will have to suffer and die before the CCP is no more. More people will suffer and die when a new government fills the power vacuum and there is no guarantee that the next government will be a freedom loving democracy or that the new government won't stop oppressing ethnic and religious minorities.


I wonder how many evil actions were perpetrated in the name of saving face. I'm sure this problem goes back thousands of years but it seems to be extra potent in the 21st century given how social media makes ones figurative and literal "face" so accessible to the world.
 
In my opinion, the degradation of the ocean is a bigger threat to the environment than global warming.

 
That tracks with what I've seen on the China watch Youtube channels I watch.

Shanghai is a hotbed of protestors right now. Protestors who act despite knowing they are sure to be arrested.

Well lots of protestors by Chinese standards at least. 100 protestors in Shanghai is like 10,000 protestors in an American city.
 
It is inspiring to see the different creative ways Chinese people are standing up to the CCP, as much as they are able.

It is not mentioned in this video specifically, but I find it humorous that the CCP is censoring lyrics from their own national anthem as the opening line "Arise, ye who would slaves" or "Cast off your bounds, ye who are oppressed" depending on the translation.

This line has been repeatedly used in protest against the CCP now. :)

I guess a win is a win, even if it is a very small win. That's preferable to Disney and Warner Brothers licking Xi Jing Ping's boots.


I am happy that DeSantis called out the CCP by name rather than simply say "China"

"Disney has done a lot to partner with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and has really made a fortune over there without raising a peep about any of their atrocities," DeSantis said Monday during a press conference announcing $30 million for manatee protection.

This makes me like DSantis. It's a start at least. I would especially like a high profile politician to call out the human organ harvesting and trade, but I cannot have everything I want.
