A fascinating example of the rule of law in China. The local government has no power to compel them to move. A clear refutation of the propaganda that everyone lives in fear of the communist party.

It’s one of the oldest tactics in the F1 book. It’s a team sport. Whenever a driver gets ahead, it’s his team mate’s duty to back up the field behind him to protect his team mate. It’s a professional sport, not amateur. The spirit of motor racing is to win!

The locally produced cheese is indeed disgusting. It’s like eating soft plastic. Sadly it’s just like the cheese on US fast food. One chain in China, Mario’s, took pride in importing genuine parmigiana but found the locals found it too strong so they switched to a milder cheese

China’s middle class is hundreds of thousands. Whole cities of middle class people. Villages are empty of all but the aged and their grand children. They live well on remittances and many villages have been completely rebuilt in modern style. There is no slave or forced labour.

Singaporean leaders seem to be unique in that they eschew political rhetoric and present and argue using logic learned at Oxbridge universities. They are the most impressive world leaders I’ve listened to in the last 50 years. It’s no wonder the island thrives.

80% of Chinese families own their own home. This makes them largely invested in home ownership. Any attempt to change that would cause unacceptable social disorder. All citizens have legal certificates of both land and home usage. Similar to Canberra ACT, HK, and Stockholm.

This Pattern is replicated across the Anglosphere. It’s the U.S. narrative designed to present China as a threat so we will accept the aggressive policies the U.S. is adopting towards China as she fails to compete. Loss of hegemony is terrifying for them. Common sense dictates
This is a very interesting study by King's College London on the coverage of China in British media.
No surprise, it found that coverage of China is systematically negative across all mainstream media outlets, with an "almost total lack of any positive

This was the country who once championed free trade. Indeed they made their support of France and UK conditional on dismantling the colonial trade system. They cried for an “Open Door” to the China trade. Now the dragon has awoken, that terrified they can’t compete. Hypocrites!

HK is freer now than it was under the UK tutelage. Citizens and permanent residents are eligible to vote for local and legislative chamber reps. This never happened under British rule until the Chinese urged it in 1984. There are no communists or mainlanders in the leadership.

Sorry China’s middle class is 600-700 millions or so. There is still some poverty, but no extreme poverty defined as around US$2 per day income. Poverty in the west is defined as 50% of the median wage so it can never be eliminated. Good for the welfare bureaucrats.

If they write a positive piece about China it gets spiked. So the editor teaches them what stories they want: only negative. The bigger the lies the better. Editorial policy is set by owners who are prevailed upon by corrupt politicians in the pay of the arms manufacturers.

China is a stabilising force as it builds infrastructure which aids dvlmnt. Hard to think of a Chinese project that promoted instability. The US on the other hand…..! China is a force for peace which may not suit the U.S. agenda. Eg keeping the Arabs split over sectarian lines.

The argument is over the division of areas of economic influence. I’d like to see an independent body do that. Sovereignty is only 12 nautical miles off shore. China’s claim of sovereignty over the SCS is not sustainable in international law.

Chinese people demand one freedom above all else; to be left free to make money for their family, own property, and educate their children. In their own terms they are free now to do what they do best: adding value! Either through wages or profits.
