Protests erupt across China in unprecedented challenge to Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid policy

[Tangmo]

A couple thousand, out of a billion citizens. This is not a a popular revolution.

No. You are a decade behind. Xi has not arrested any of his predecessors, and Jiang not only has no power whatsoever, he's also dead. There was no coup, and its telling how you dont bother to source this accusation.

Wrong

The point is that it's a lousy attempt to minimize several thousands of Chinese in the streets across China by saying a billion people aren't doing it. This is similar to Nixon's lame "silent majority" trick pony against antiwar demonstrations and protesters in the streets while 275 million Americans weren't doing it.

It's no secret Xi wanted but could not execute the arrest the late Jiang Zemin the former president of PRC and chairman of CCP -- Xi knew at last he couldn't get away with detaining his strongest and most powerful opponent in the Party. Jiang's son easily inherited his late father's political muscle and is carrying on his father's pursuits to take Xi down. Jiang kept control of the PLA while Hu Jintao was president and chairman, before Xi ascended in 2012 as Hu's scheduled successor.

Xi is a CCP "Princeling" while Hu came up through the Party Youth League. The implication of Xi being a 'crown prince' of the Party is hereditary, ie, Xi's father was a CCP founder and in the close circle of Mao's generals. Xi though has no military experience which causes resentments due to Xi considering himself a military genius who is moreover going to deliver Taiwan to the Boyz in Beijing. Hu has no Party pedigree so he rose through the Party Youth League based much more on merit and determination. These two factions remain at odds inside the Party with the princelings having had access from youth to corrupt incomes and favored positions.

Xi's arrogant conceit is his own worst enemy both at home and abroad.

That really is the best show on China huh?

It's a good one, to be sure. If you go back to old videos they produced individually you can go all the way back to their happy times living in China, before the Xi Jinping era, and watch their disillusionment turned dissident views as you progress through. Laowhy86's wife was great, also, on his channel during the start of the COVID outbreak with insights into the truth versus the lies coming out of the CCP.

The amount of corruption they expose in the CCP in every episode is just shocking.

I was just watching an old episode the other day where they were exposing the Chinese "Green" agenda after reports of satellite images showing an increased greening on China. They then rolled out their own footage of what is actually happening in China with video of public works workers walking through parks full of dead trees and painting them green. They also cover large swaths of barren dirt with essentially camo netting with plastic leaves tied to them to give the aerial impression that the area is covered in foliage.
Everything coming from the CCP, from COVID numbers to crime data to GDP is one gigantic lie.
