Discussed on today's show:

  • Major flooding in China https://youtu.be/slgz5P2b_3o
  • Three Gorges Dam - largest dam in the world and it is failing
  • 1959-1960 Mao famine 60 Million people starved to death

From our guest:

Many things have happened since we last spoke. I would like to pick the following to discuss:

1. The CCP's counter-governance:

On top of the coronavirus, China has been hit with a massive flood. A complete failure to respond to these disasters is not a surprise on the part of the CCP, what even surprised me is how the CCP dictators responded. To explain the CCP's dictators behavior, I came up with the term counter-governance. There is good government, bad government, and completely failed government. The CCP's behavior is beyond a fail government, so I call it counter-governance. To make an analogy, there are wit, low wit, but there may be counter-wit.

I will cover some of the CCP's counter-governance behaviors in:

        i. the massive flood

        ii. celebration of victory over the coronavirus

        iii. causing more domestic crisis in Hong Kong, inner-Mongolia, and economic policies

        iv. causing more international conflict with India, in south China Sea, with Taiwan

 

I will discuss how these counter-governance behaviors should teach us about the nature of the CCP.  The radical DEMS and BLM resembles the CCP in their counter-wit behavior. I should cover this as the third topic.

 

2. America's new China policy:  I will summarize and comment on some of the significant changes.

3. China policy and the US election
