Threads like this are like gemstones. We need views from individuals that are not tied to the main stream media. In the main news today: Electric cars are getting bad press. Cold weather can cut an electric car's range by a THIRD, says study (msn.com) Turn the heater on and the car will go practically nowhere.

I will not watch any of the videos you “curate” which are specifically labeled as being related to the CCP. They are, implicitly, propaganda. You post many of them. Plus suggesting that citizens of Hong Kong are ‘hilariously happy’ with the CCP is a huge stretch. I know full well from personal engagement that this is most definitely not the case. And how can it be, after 2019? Hong Kongers who are hilariously happy with the CCP would probably do well at a birthday rally for Dear Leader in Pyongyang. The fact is that China under Xi has turned into a high tech security state. Yes, that cat catches many mice. One surveillance camera for every two citizens, gait recognition, social credit scores, control, control, and more control. en.wikipedia.org If you seek redress for grievances from the CCP…forget about it! If you think you’re entitled to privacy in China…forget about it! The Chinese system is unsustainable. It runs against everything humans desire. It is grotesque. And China’s economy is huge but only because its population is huge. Per capita GDP is in line with most Third World countries. The USA’s is 6x larger on a per capita basis. It is 25% of the global GDP, the same as during the Reagan years, despite the rise of competing economies everywhere (Brazil, China, Turkey, India, etc.). For its much-vaunted high tech push, the bulk of China’s economy is based on manufacturing items invented during the Industrial Revolution. We are a service, information, and digital economy. We attract the Chinese with our first rate higher education system (you should know). How many talented American kids dream of attending Beijing U? Chinese manufacturing is based on the advantages provided by a huge labor pool, viz., BYD and its battery production. But unfavorable demographics will put a huge crimp on this advantage. And those demographics are a direct result of direct regime control gone awry. No, you push, push, push relentlessly push a flawed and unbalanced narrative. And the proof of it is that if I were Chinese and you were a CCP official, my words here would get me in deep trouble. Perhaps earn me a jail cell.
