In general, the Western mainstream media are supportive of the wave of protests now rocking China, and the widespread ownership of mobile phones and the internet has made it difficult to suppress news getting out. Hence the extraordinary videos of white clad CCP goons, beating up citizens, the next level up from what happened across the West with lockdown protests. But, the call has come for god emperor Xi to resign, but that is just not going to happen. Expect the tanks to line the streets soon, as the CCP does not mess around and will kill whoever it takes to maintain its totalitarianism. The party of Mao said that millions of Chinese dead are nothing, as the Cultural Revolution showed. Still our prayers are for the Chinese freedom fighters.
The Covid lockdowns led to this, with people locked in an apartment that caught fire, burning to death. The coverage from a Covid perspective in the West is that China did not use the Pfizer vax, and only 40 percent of the over 80-year old’s have had China’s own communist vax. So, they see a new wave of Covid sweeping the country, with yet another round of lockdowns. No doubt the protests will spread infections. While the mild Omicron variants should be left to infect and creat herd immunity, this will not be allowed by the CCP, so we can expect massive trade problems, as vital goods, like medicines, may become in short supply, due to globalism putting all the eggs in the one basket. To bad when the basket is stepped on by a Covid elephant.
