Richard Lee thread 1/n

As you may have heard, the Burnaby South byelection candidate is now under fire for promoting Chinese Communist Party propaganda in Vancouver (at River Rock Casino no less). thestar.com/vancouver/2019…
Prior to this, in a separate thread we traced Mr. Lee's interaction with CCP United Front groups over time #noevidence

That’s very nice but Lee's actions speak louder than a campaign soundbite.

The library is now open.
Also a new kind of politician for the New Era of CCP political warfare against Canada, Mr. Lee had no trouble flitting from one political camp to another when the opportunity arose. We often see him at United Front events standing next to political adversaries from the BC NDP.
From careful study of Mr. Lee’s involvement with CCP United Front groups over the past decade, we can conclude that he seeks legitimacy not necessarily from an ethnic voting bloc, but more from a CCP United Front voting bloc that exists in Metro Vancouver.

Chinese Communist wanted to do away with Chinese scripts and replace it w full Latin alphabet. But something happened along the way. We ended up with Simplified Chinese characters instead. I will talk about this history in this thread

Chinese 大众报 news in full Latin script
In early 20th century, some radical Chinese intellectuals thought the only way for China to be modern is to get rid of Chinese characters and switch to alphabet like rest of the world. Latinized Chinese textbooks
Switch Chinese writing to full Latin alphabet had the support of Chinese Communist Party leadership after establishment of PRC. Zhou Youguang 周有光, Banker returning from New York was tasked with creating Chinese Romanization program. The result is Pinyin System

Thread: China in Tanzania

1. Remember China? It’s that large country in East Asia with a population approaching 1.4B people that has been ruled by the Chinese Communist Party since 1949. And they have a plan to dominate the world economically, remember?
2. And that plan includes the use of economic leverage to gain control of raw materials for Chinese industries, as well as the maritime and overland transportation/distribution networks for Chinese-produced goods around the world.
3. What are they doing in Tanzania, of all places? Tanzania is an East African country that is 1.36 times the size of Texas – it’s a large country with almost 56-million people while Texas has 23-million folks who speak over 100 different languages!

Thread: What About the Chinese and the Russians?

1. Yes, what about them? There are complications to such an analysis dating back to Czar Nicholas II in 1917 and even far beyond in time as well as current and future events – as America remains unaware.
2. Overtones abound such as in Genghis Khan’s 13th century invasion of Eurasia, the Norsemen Rus’ exploration into Ukraine and beyond even into pre-historical DNA interplay belying Rudyard Kipling’s poem:
3. Oh, East is East & West is West, & never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth & Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the Earth!

Thread: Still More Chinese Activity in Latin America!

1. While we continue to focus on the kabuki that is associated with “muh Russia” in the US political arena, China continues to eat our lunch in our own backyard!
2. We previously surveyed their ongoing activities in Latin America, but that was only the tip of the iceberg! You may wish to read this thread as a precursor before proceeding:
3. Fortunately, @POTUS has reversed the idiotic Obama/Kerry declaration that the Monroe Doctrine is dead, but like virtually every other area of policy, there is a LOT of ground to make up in Latin America after the Obama regime!
