1) It is remarkable how many anti Xi Jinping Chinese people in US & UK are completely enamoured with Trump who himself is a sycophant of Xi Jinping & other murderous dictators.

Being anti CCP isn’t the same as pro democracy, social justice, freedom of expression etc. Many of 2) the anti CCP individuals are upset with the CCP for infringing on their personal interests & rights, not the interests & rights of others in society. They’d be quite happy to persecute others whilst claiming to be victims themselves - à la Trump.

They are essentially an even

The People’s Liberation Army’s transformation in the last 10 years is simply astonishing.

The PLA quite remarkably only started displaying elements of a modern army in August 2020 despite being labelled a “powerful” army for years. Prior to this date its elite troops ran away in battle in Sudan abandoning civilians & aid workers to be tortured & raped in July 2016 & its airforce trashed by the Thai airforce in simulation battles. The first was utterly despicable & the second was humiliating.

China is unique in the world in one respect - it doesn’t have

Xi is on a war footing.

CCP has asked food importers to China to ship as much grain & sugar as possible & as quickly as possible. Heard this rumour about 2 weeks ago from different sources & had tried to verify it via official import quota reallocations etc. Been told it won’t show up there. Importers of food - such as frozen meat & chicken feet from Brazil - were told that they no longer need to apply (or pay bribes) to obtain import licenses & quota for grains & sugar. They don’t even need to find buyers. The state will take everything they are

200-300k people had left Hong Kong permanently since the protests of 2019 out of a population of 7 million. It is far from an exodus. There is a huge number of different reasons why so many are still willing to live under a murderous authoritarian regime when they can leave. I speak with different people in HK almost daily for a variety of reasons. Some psychologists assert that when most people make important decisions, the fear of losing what they have weighs more than the hope of what they might gain & the familiar over the unknown. It’s risks

This is happening now.

PLA is apparently recalling retired soldiers to active duty in China for update training, including sacked personnel citing heighten domestic terrorism concerns. The recall includes PLA Naval & Air Force personnel from all over. Families of these soldiers have been texting families of other soldiers they know asking what’s going on. Seems that some training or training exercise is being conducted or coordinated by the Eastern Theatre Command’s Navy base in Ninpoh. Private communications corroborate that their men

I knew a Triad leader who retired to UK in the 1960’s. Let’s just call him Uncle here. He died several years ago. He was a community leader till his final days. I met with his youngest son a few weeks back. His son used to tagged along with me like a little brother. We talked bout his dad. We both hero worshiped him in different ways. He for his dad’s role as a great father & I for his work as a community leader.

Though his dad was staunchly pro #CPC back when I knew him, he told me his dad had a complete change of heart in his final years. His dad

To take down the #CPC we need to work to weaken its hold on the people of China. This can only be achieved by exerting pressure & influence on multiple fronts, without & within its borders.

The most critical hold the #CPC has over the population is economic & this is where the most effort should be applied. This is also difficult to achieve because we need a large section of the global businesses & governments to toe the line. Given neither of the above have tremendous interests in doing so, we need to start putting pressure on them via our powers as
