China started to flourish when the CCP lead by Deng Xiaoping decided to incorporate elements of capitalism into their predominant socialist economic model.

President Xi is not taking any steps backwards because China's economic model is still socialist at its core; hence, more government control when needed.


If you are going to call past, present, and future Chinese laborers as wage slaves, then American capitalists lead by its ultrawealthy should cease sending their work orders to China and perhaps utilize the wage slaves of Vietnam, Mexico, or other third World country.


Not saying all Chinese laborers who are paid poorly are slaves, I meant actual cotton picking slavery.

Xi has taken steps backwards, he has consolidated power, he has taken steps to suppress the free press, he has tightened the grip on businesses that are "private".

All these things can be said of the US empire:

1.  The so-called Presidency of the empire has consolidated power over the years as well.  The selected stooge chosen by the Power Okole and ultrawealthy now has nearly unrestricted power via the so-called "executive orders" as well as the ability to conduct albeit limited illegal war without the consent of Congress.

2.  Free-Press?  Other than the independent media, the MSM paper, print, and on online versions are all controlled pro-US imperial propaganda outlets.

3.  As for private businesses, the opposite has happened in the US empire where corporations have tightened their control of the citizenry by being able to manipulate the actions of the government over the will of the people.

That's hysterical, considering how anti-US, anti-America most of those in media demonstrate they are.

Any anti-America nonsense spewed by the MSN is not anti-American, but in my view, maintaining controlled opposition aimed of dividing the populace against each other and preventing them from going after the true rulers of the US empire.

Moreover, although the various elements of the MSN may be divided on domestic issues, they all are never against the US empire's desire for global domination via indirect proxy war (e.g., Ukraine, ROC) as well as direct confrontation against Russia and China.

I disagree.

The media, and yes, a great many politicians, are globalists.  They don't want to see the US dominate the international stage, but to tear down our sphere of influence and replace it with some governing body they believe will treat every nation equally.

Lots of evidence to support that theory, especially when they start discussing climate change and taxing the US to pay for many African nations' lack of resources and economic propserity.

Well that's not true at all. Xi has been protected by mainstream media. Mentioning Wuhan lab or the inspiration for the lockdowns and mainstream media will call you a racist.
Globalists are salivating trying to bring his autocratic totalitarianism to the West and they made a lot of success with England, Australia, and NZ. Good thing we have so many guns!

You bringing up Covid has nothing to do with my point with the MSM echoing the drumbeats of confrontation with China as well as Russia.

Name me a mainstream news outlet that actually advocates peace between the US empire and China or Russia for that matter.

These so-called globalists do want a one World government, but one that is ruled under the US empire.

If these American globalists are bent on tearing down US imperial influence, why have they not moved to shrink the military budget?

Why have those same globalists not worked behind the scenes to begin closing down the hundreds of US imperial military garrisons all over the planet?

Why does these globalists support indirect hostility to Russia and China as well as support proxy wars via Ukraine currently against Russia and in the near future the ROC against China, which does nothing but brings the whole planet closer to WWIII?

Globalists by definition have loyalty to no country.

Nobody in the mainstream media is complaining about selling the strategic oil reserve to China, flooding our borders with Chinese invaders, or running down our munition stocks in Ukraine which sets the stage for an easy Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Never mind the millions of Chinese money used to bribe the Biden family.

If the corporate media’s intention is to drag us into war with China then they are also doing everything possible to make sure we lose.

I personally felt that the beginning of the downfall of pride in America, was when they banned the Pledge of Allegiance from public schools in the early 2000s.

So seeing more people disrespect the country as a form of free speech, is sad to see.

Guys like Soros are indeed globalists, but if they wanted to crash the US empire, they could do it right now if they wanted by instigating a US dollar collapse.

Why the wait?

If you believe in capitalism, then there really is nothing wrong with any of the issues you mentioned above.  By definition, everything and anything is for sale in capitalism as well as the free movement of the people to the places that they perceive will give them a better opportunity for prosperity whether real or imaginary.  The fact the MSM is not concerned of the running down of the munition stocks of the US empire has more to do with their imperial support of proxy war with Russia via Ukraine like I contended earlier.



which sets the stage for an easy Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
The Chinese have no intention of taking back the ROC by force and will only do so if the US empire continues to fan the flames of ROC independence away from China; giving the ROC long-range and/or nuclear weapons; or decides to expand NATO and/or build another military garrison on that island.



Never mind the millions of Chinese money used to bribe the Biden family.
Unless Trump is able to bring formal charges against the Biden family, the so-called Chinese bribe money you speak of is pure speculation.



If the corporate media’s intention is to drag us into war with China then they are also doing everything possible to make sure we lose.
This has to be your most illogical statement in your incessant personal hatred of China.

If the US empire would ever instigate WWIII with China or Russia for that matter, there will be no winners of losers as the planet Earth will for the most part be unlivable due to the nuclear catastrophe that will happen in such a conflict.

You are very much on to something.

Judging from photos you posted above, there might have been already a limited a nuclear weapon exchange that we don't know about.

if you've seen the movies or read the books, you'd know the nuclear event happened in the future.  it was the return to the past that initiated the evolution and subsequent nuclear events that devastated the planet.

So, yes.  We don't know about the nuclear weapon exchange, because it hasn't happened yet.  But, the trip back to our present has happened.

Remember ... Star Trek was just science fiction, yet look at all the Star Trek tech we have now!

If my understanding is correct.
That seems to be what happened when China arrested Jimmy Lai and forced his news agency Apply Daily to close, they clamped down on private media that challenged the government.,

#1. Partially correct. Presidents have exercised a lot of power with executive orders but they have also been knocked down by the courts as well. Conducting war without approval of congress? Yes and I would agree with some of that criticism but unfortunately this is not as simple given the complex nature of non-state groups

#2. You can make the case that the MSM and whoever else is biased but that does not mean they aren't free. Free in the sense that they are free from government control, this still exists. It is nowhere close to being like what China has been doing.

#3 Big companies using their power to influence the government is not the same thing as a government seizing ownership of companies.
