The China Lie Exposed

October 27, 2022 By William Levin 

The Chinese Communist Party has held only 20 party congresses in its history, one every five years, and few as notable as the just-concluded meeting at which President Xi Jinping claimed his unprecedented third five-year term. In a two-hour address, Xi aggressively signaled that China will focus on national security, invest in a “world class military,” “develop unmanned, intelligent combat capabilities,” and unrelentingly pursue the takeover of Taiwan under the banner of “reunification.”  All this against a backdrop of asserted rising external threats from the West and a forecast of “high winds, choppy waters and dangerous storms.”

It did not take long for Chinese investors to react. On Monday, the Hang Seng plummeted 6.4% (equivalent to a 2,000 drop in the Dow Jones index), for the largest one-day drop since November 2008. The index is down 42% for the year and within 2% of its 52-week low. In the tech sector, e-commerce giant Alibaba fell 10%, bringing its losses to more than $600 billion since it peaked in October 2020. Chip stocks are being dumped in response to expected U.S. export controls. The property sector is facing unrelenting pressure from massive over-building and excess debt.

How Long Can a System Built on Lying, Cheating, and Corruption Survive - Mark Lewis  |  Nov 01, 2023 - I’m going to continue writing about the saga that is China, which I have written about many times before.  It’s relevant because China is America’s number one antagonist in the world today, our greatest opponent, and we need to understand what is happening there.  It is also pertinent because many of the things going on in China can be seen in our government and country. And I have to start out by saying, Thank God for our Founding Fathers who wrote a Constitution that still gives some protection to the American people.  Those protections are being increasingly eroded by the Leftist, power-craving Democratic Party, which mindlessly hates the Constitution and wants to eliminate it, but it still exists, and they struggle to get around it.  China doesn’t have that kind of protection for its people, and they are cursed because of it................
