An interesting piece, somewhat disturbing though, about how the Western elites, notably the global financial elites help create the China we now know, and will soon fight. It was an outcome of neo-liberal ideology, to expand markets and make more profits, but now has spiralled out of control. Or, the alternative taken, which I favour, is that the top-level elites planned this all along, and really do want Western civilisation destroyed, and replaced by the communist Chinese regime. I think, by way of solutions, we should assume that this is so, and prepare for a total war and resistance in every aspect of culture and economy, all done legally of course. Naturally social credit is one weapon, as well as the two thousand-year old methods of reason, logic and analysis.
