“China-Maxxing”: MSM’s New World Order Propaganda Goes Into Overdrive

The messaging is as transparent as it is cringe-inducing.

Kit Knightly

About two weeks ago, I started  noticing a lot of anecdotes popping up on my social media feeds about just how dawg-gone awesome China was.

Stuff like this, which I saw not ten minutes ago…

This is not by any means an unprecedented event, and can usually be pegged up to blue ticks chasing monetised engagement, bot accounts just spitting noise into the void, state-backed actors working soft-power narrative formation, the ideologically captured doing that same work for free…or some combination of any or all.

At first I deemed it worthy of a raised eyebrow and not much more.

But it seems this vibe is contagious, and it has spread through the media ecosystem until even the largest plodding land-giants were infected.

Suddenly, I was seeing “gee whiz China is cool” stories from major outlets every day, or even several times a day.

This is a pretty routine example; note the favourable comparison to the US, which is a major recurring theme.

The message is becoming clear: China is the good guy now. And that’s not me oversimplifying for comedy’s sake, that’s a direct quote from a member of the UN’s AI advisory board, according to The Guardian.

China now the ‘good guy’ on AI as Trump takes ‘wild west’ approach, MPs told

And it’s not just AI, China is becoming “the good guy” in drug research according to WSJ…

And EV development according to CBS…

And tourism, according to Bloomberg…

And foreign policy, according to, well, Foreign Policy…

The stories keep on coming, and they are not subtle.

Maybe China should take a bigger role in global leadership, says Bloomberg (again)…

These are all from just the last week. A cursory Google turns up four more from the last 24 hours:

The Financial Times: “Foreign carmakers turn to Chinese technology to remain relevant”

The Economist: “The world wants Chinese tech. China is determined to keep it”

The Independent: “China unveils technological breakthrough that could one day propel drones indefinitely”

Deutsche Welle: “China’s chip ambitions shake up global tech industry”

It never ends.

By far the cringiest of these blatant propaganda efforts is reserved for the AP, which reports

The ‘becoming Chinese’ meme shows China’s soft power moment is here

Are you aware of the “becoming Chinese” meme? Because I consider myself somewhat au fait with the young ‘uns and their “memes”, and I’ve never heard of it.

But it does have a Wikipedia page, which was created two months ago. Hmmm.

Anyway, according to the AP article [emphasis added]…

In recent months, 20-somethings around the world have taken over social media with posts enthusing about how they’re embracing Chinese ways of life. Videos proclaiming users are “Chinamaxxing,” or “in a very Chinese time of their lives” — namely by drinking hot water with boiled goji berries, eating dumplings or wearing slippers in the house, or flying to China and gushing about its modern infrastructure — are racking up millions of views.

Doesn’t that sound just so organic? Isn’t China just so hip and with it and down with the kids?

Now, supposing these “chinamaxxing 20-somethings” exist, and are indeed “taking over social media” with pro-China content, doesn’t that bear some interrogation?

For example, we should remember the existence of “influencer factories”. Warehouses full of young women, posing on domestic sets, selling a fake Instagram lifestyle to other young women.

If this kind of dystopian infrastructure is out there enabling cosmetics brands and fashion labels to hawk mascara and sundresses…what hellish factories, at what immense scale, are pushing ideas on behalf of global powerbrokers?

Eg perhaps all these allegedly totally real young people praising China on YouTube or Instagram? The AP headline even mentions “soft power”, but never questions the reality of this supposedly natural digital phenomenon.

Whether that’s a deliberate lie or an indication of how these kinds of questions have been trained out of the journalistic class I don’t know, and couldn’t say which is worse.

Whatever the propaganda mechanisms are, and however they work, they seem to be having an impact.

Axios reports that the number of Americans with a positive view of China has increased from 14% to 28%

The percentage of Americans holding favorable views of China rose for the third straight year, according to an annual Pew survey, and has nearly doubled since 2023. Meanwhile, the share of Americans who view China as an “enemy” has fallen significantly over that time.

…except, of course, that’s part of the propaganda as well.

Polls are tools for shaping opinions as much as metrics for measuring them. Persuasion by the creation of a fictional consensus. This poll is likely made up, to one extent or another, and even if it’s not…well, what do you expect to happen when you blast “China rocks” from every speaker on the planet?

ChinaMaxxing is nothing new

It’s important to note that this pro-China love-in is not the start of something new, just a re-launch of a previously failed product.

We’ve seen several attempts at “Chinamaxxing” before.

I’m old enough to remember six long years ago, when it was de rigeur among Western talking heads to glaze China’s contempt for individual rights amid their handling of the Covid “pandemic”, and western academics were sighing wistfully over the CCP’s ability to nail people inside their homes.

Only last summer, the Economist was telling us that “China has suddenly become cool”, adding the hilarious qualifier “That is not mainly thanks to party spin doctors”.

Everybody got that? It’s NOT spin doctors, it just kinda happened!

…and now it’s just kinda happening again.

China is just so awesome that young people flock to it because of their clean cities and superior urban architecture!

This is just true, and not the product of spin doctors or propaganda or anything.

China is also making such impressive progress in biopharmaceutical research, electrical engineering and telecommunications that – despite them being (allegedly) an enemy nation – the Western press just have to talk about it!

The messaging is as transparent as it is cringe-inducing.

This has been the predictable destination of our propaganda journey for years, and we’re back there again.

As the US/Israel pivot to heel, China will continue turning face until we have our shiny New Multipolar World Order.

Over the past 50 years, the West has massively transferred manufacturing and technology to China while cultivating millions of communist yellow people in universities. Why would they create a false enemy to replace their own global dominance?

This is fundamentally not competition but a conspiratorial collusion of globalism: The Jewish overlords are systematically phasing out the West and white people, replacing them with a technology-communist world led by China and the BRICS “non-white” bloc—meaning the most dangerous enemy of Jewish capital will become history.

Not sure what the point of this article really is. Yes, there’s no doubt China is WAY ahead of America today in countless areas, technologically, cost of living, education, health, employment and more… China, to its credit, has brought millions out of poverty, while the West is happily doing the opposite, heading to collapse whist their top 1% make a fortune.

Population is growing exponentially since the advent of oil. Therefore, there will never be enough petrol. Now some use of petrol is crucial to our civilization (microprocessors, plastics, fertilizers), hence the necessity for depopulation as Billy Fence promotes openly. You can fit that in any narrative because it is the challenge of our times. Look at everything that’s going on, it is all linked to petrol… Renewable energy solutions?… to save on petrol. Wars? To control petrol flow, or to depopulate to save on petrol. Fake viral infections? Stay at home and on the ground… petrol. Killing shots as a solution? Depopulation to preserve petrol. Global surveillance, face ID, AI accounting of population? Who will be deserving of the petrol. They couldn’t have engineered the war in Iran better to depopulate the entire globe. How is it done? Choke the petrol flow.

It doesn’t matter how America, ME, China and Russia are flapping it to please the people they know they should and want to kill… they just don’t want a revolution until they succeed. Don’t wait for a saviour. The saviour was petrol because it’s the reason most of us are alive. Now the saviour has to go.

70% of this earth consist of water. Then how can there be lack of water resources?

If you calculate the population/ha in town planning areas of 1-family housing of mother and father and 2 kids in a 100m2 house on a 1000m2 lot with footpath and half road, church and sundry, then 8 billion people could be contained and live in comfort within an area equal to Texas.

Bravo China, you can do it. 200 years more and we are about to be there.
40 pennies x 200 hrs = 80 dollares/month. Not bad.

Suicide is a leading cause of death in China and accounts for about one-sixth of all suicides worldwide. https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003545 (year 2021) .

The chinese who committed suicide said they couldnt take all these negotiations not war discussions. Talk talk talk.

Lets get one thing thing straight Putin ISNT a good guy – when Russia attacked Chechnya, Putin was in Saint Petersburg with Tony Blair dining on lobster and quails eggs, whilst supping champagne, Blair was with Putin to make sure BP’s oil interests in Russia would remain secure.

Putin was once a young promising WEF Leader – until Schwab turned on him.

“Although Vladimir Putin was never an official designee in the World Economic Forum‘s “Young Global Leaders” program, WEF founder Klaus Schwab did not shy away from holding up the Russian leader to that standard.”

I lived in China and studied Chinese (modern and classical) in the 1990s, hence I have no illusions about their system and general mentality.

Just last year, there was a big story in Asian media (mainly Singapore / Malaysia) about a young Chinese actor who reportedly committed suicide. Of course, a closer look revealed an intricate web of trends that really should not take anyone by suprise: Military types calling the shots in private / regional media and entertainment (and in fact, any sort of private entrepreneurship); businesses that assiduously keep multiple sets of books; the industry using celebrities for anything and everything from sex slavery to money laundering (not that the US or Europe are much different on that particular score). Etc. etc. etc. Seems that at one point, the actor’s “friends” cut his stomach open to retrieve a flash drive he had swallowed, containing sensitive financial info.

I won’t go into the Xinjiang / Uygurs situation and how millions are forcefully prohibited to worship, to fast during Ramadan, etc. You’ve seen the Temu merchandise – most of it screams “prison labor.”

Nonetheless – judging by the constant stream of western headlines that portray China as ultramodern, shiny, and oh-so-cool, what we are looking at here is the Next America. This time with massive surveillance tech in lieu of human rights.

It seems strange that you would say these things after having lived in China in the 1990s. I go to China frequently and have never found anything close to what you mention. China has been a culture of small business owners for 4,000 years. That continues today. There are more private businesses in China than anywhere in the world. And they flourish.

“Prison -labor” is a US propaganda fabrication. People in China work hard but there are very good labor laws that protect them. For example, China has very good comprehensive labor laws. While in the 70s and 80s when “Free Trade Zones” (i.e., manufacturing areas with little government regulation) were popular with ex-patriot businesses, particularly the US, those have nearly been eliminated by now. The Labor Law of 1995 and the Labor Contract Law 2008, both greatly expanded employee protections and rights. These laws mandate written contracts, social security/retirement plans, minimum wages, regulated working hours (typically 40 hours/week), overtime pay, and strict limitations on terminating employment. Employees almost can’t be fired in China. There are also national holidays when everyone gets paid time off. China is no longer a “low wage” nation. This is true in Xinjiang as all over.

There is almost no unemployment in China as everyone has a legal right to employment and income from work. That also means there is almost no homelessness. In 1948 Mao pledged that food, housing, and employment would be plentiful and beneficial to all of the people. In 1950, the population of China was about 500 million people. Today it is close to 1.4 billion. This is nearly a tripling of the population, and all Chinese are better housed, better fed, and better employed.

Of course, there are poor areas in both big cities and rural areas. Development is always uneven. But there is significant development in every area of China. China is also a multi-religious society. Muslims flourish in Xinjiang but also in the ancient city of Xi’an.

There is a really deep difference in “the general mentality” between China and the West. In the capitalist West, employees are seen as a “business expense” and every measure is taken to reduce this expense and increase profit. So, most businesses operate with as few employees as possible. In communist China, employees are seen as the main point of the business’s existence. Sustaining them and not making profit is the reason for the business. Visitors from the US are often shocked to see so many workers in shops, stores, or factories.

China is not perfect. No nation is. But it seems to have the right principles and the right moral commitments. Here is a billboard on the second ring road around Beijing. These are political principles articulated over and over by Mao and repeated by Xi Jinping in his inaugural address. Can you imagine any politician in the West ever formally proclaiming the things stated here!!!!

I think you are misunderstanding the case of Falun Gong. The Chinese government has always been worried about CIA or MI6 involvement with anti-government groups such as the Tiananmen Square protesters, the Dali Lama from Tibet, the Hong Kong independence protest, the similar protest in Taiwan, and the rise of Falun Gong in the 1990s. The CIA constantly runs these “color revolutions” in China and the government is wise to take note of them. The US does have long standing plans to foment opposition and revolution in Chinese society.

All of these groups are made to appear heroic in the eyes of Americans but that’s because they know nothing about the reality of the groups. The propaganda and lies told to Americans are just horrific. There is no genocide of Uyghurs. That’s pure propaganda directed at stupid people in the US and Europe.

Falun Gong is not banned in China. An agreement between Falun Gong and the government was reached in which the leader of Falun Gong, Li Hongshi, agreed to stay away from political issues and stick to spiritual matters. Li finally moved to the US in order to follow more closely its relations with the CIA.

There are powerful spiritual movements in China and there is no interference with them from the Chinese government. The government is only concerned with foreign manipulation of these groups for fomenting color revolutions. All nations are deeply concerned about CIA/MI6/Mossad subversions. They will infiltrate every group they can in order to sow chaos in targeted nations.

The real headquarters of Falun Gong is now in the US. They are fabulously rich from the donations of their members. Their essential theme is “China before communism.” I have friends who are members of the Falun Gong cult, so I’ve looked into it. I’ve also been to some of their Shen Yun performances. They are extremely beautiful and so well produced. Here’s a trailer in case you have not seen one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeR8FXFqxY

They perform all over the world, and I’d recommend seeing a show if you can. But remember this is propaganda and it presents a totally false vision of “China before communism.” I’ve actually seen similar traditional performances in China which present Chinese history without the propaganda.

The history of China before communism is really important and interesting, but Falun Gong does not understand any of it. They hate communism for the same reasons the US hates communism.

They have a college in up state NY called Fei Tien College. This is Chinese for “heavenly spirits.” It is a very religious college. I know some people who go there.

I think this is really the center of Falun Gong and not China, although there is a lot of very strong Buddhist spiritualism in China but it is different from the “theistic” spiritualism of the West. I’ve been to Tibet and seen the temples there. Falun Gong adds a political dimension of anti-communism which is not present at all in China. If they actually understood Buddhist spiritualism, they would see it parallelism with communism.

The Chinese government has spent a lot of money restoring temples all over China and lots of people visit them. I’m sort of a cathedral lover. For about 20 years, I visited all the great cathedrals in Europe and studies their history and concepts of design. Now I’m working on Temples in China. There are many more in SE Asia but I think I’ll not get to those.

Anyway, the Shen Yun Chinese traditional dance performances are really first rate.

Frankly, I prefer “ChinaMaxxing 1.0” which is what I engage in each morning whilst contemplating a different passage from a coffee table version of the Tao Te Ching which I keep on the back of my toilet (complete with soothingly artistic black and white nature photos and an endorsement from Alan Watts on the back cover).

And speaking of Alan Watts (who represents “Chinamaxxing 1.0” par excellence) I recall internet speculation I encountered many years ago suggesting he was a British intelligence asset. Although I was skeptical at the time, at this point, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Considering this, I’d like to send the following message to His Britannic Majesty’s Minion’s deep within the bowels of Airstrip One:

Dear MI5,

Please send us more agents like Sir Alan Watts.

Sincerely,

Your ‘Merican Cousins

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go outside and spin an orange on the end of a string around my head whilst gleefully chortling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNp83E4QQxA ).

It is always interesting, and indeed suspicious, when our ‘free, independent’ media say almost exactly the same thing, whether it is about China or other matters. They jumped shark with covid when absolutely none of their ‘fearless’ journalists fought for the basic civil rights and freedom of ordinary people against such a blatant overreach of the state on very dubious grounds. Since then, all media outlets support Ukraine and any criticism of Israel’s conduct is token. In fact you know exactly what is important to the rulers when some issues are deemed above debate. There is plenty very admirable about China but why now? I can’t help thinking it comes down to Iran, and perhaps Xi’s nose was put out of joint over disruption to the Belt and Road, but there is probably also fear, as I don’t believe Iran have been winning the war without help. But even if not, the West is probably just as reliant on China as it is on the Strait of Hormuz.

An extract from one of his series of articles about China.

” The US is the most socialist country in the world, the only difference being that the US is corporate-socialist while China is people-socialist. This means that in the US, the entire country is run for the benefit of the bankers and large corporations – the oligarchs and the top 1%, and if there is any dispute between the corporations and the people, the corporations win and the people lose. “

It’s called corporate socialism and as regards surveillance go to any major city in the UK, it is swamped with CCTV.

There’s something remarkably UNATTRACTIVE about being a nation building industrial capacity and international trade, rather than genociding brown people for not being Jewish, isn’t there?

I mean: how do you create fertile conditions for the next generation WITHOUT bombing women and children to death, eh? WITHOUT demanding that all oil/gas transactions must be done in dollars, rather than Rubles, Rupees, Euros, Renmimbis or Rands??

And even Hollywood can’t portray the Chinese as being sexually repressed, what with them having bred like rabbits so much that they had to introduce a mandatory 1 child policy??

No doubt there’s still some sexism rife in China and I do wonder how all those excess boy children created by traditional folklore coming into combat with the 1 child policy get on without any Chinese women left? But miraculously it hasn’t led to civil war yet.

Thing I am expecting soon is a turning away from genociding brown people and thoughts turning to genociding yellow people. I mean, Americans are SERIOUSLY addicted to killing people for their sexual frissons to continue, aren’t they? It’s far too long since the US were killing people in East Asia, after all. Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam are FAR, FAR too long ago.

The one thing I’m not sure that will happen is Jewish nutcases trying to colonise Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau. The Triads wouldn’t stand for it and they’d have no qualms giving the Yiddish hoodlums a proper going over.

After all, there’s absolutely NO pseudo-holy book out there which says that the Jews were given the whole of East Asia by God. Absolutely none. And it’d take a couple of hundred years for any new deep fake book created by AI to permeate into enough minds for it to be organised brainwashing.

So my money’s on the yellow folks to tell the Jews to stay where they are or else.

Especially if they pay for the UN to leave NYC and ditch all Rockefeller influence over world affairs.

This looks like a kneejerk reaction from msm because the current american leadership isn’t falling in line with the davos cartel and it’s promulgation of laissez faire globalism. They need a new host to latch onto and China is the perfect candidate to lure onto the world stage to keep the dice rolling on the monopoly board.

Let’s see what the glorious ‘anti-globalists’ had to say last year, fighting the good fight against the evils of global governance and globalism.

In May 2025, straight from the horse’s mouth, in this case Xi, as published by an official CCP communication.

My emphasis in bold:

As forces for stability, progress, and development in the international community, China and Russia should continue to firmly stand together, resolutely safeguard the UN-centered international system and the international order underpinned by international law, and continuously promote an equal and orderly multipolar world, said Xi.

China and Russia must uphold solidarity and mutual assistance and act as leading forces in global governance, Xi noted, stressing that the future of the world should be decided by all countries together, and the fruits of global development should be shared by all.

As major countries and key emerging market economies, China and Russia both shoulder the lofty mission of advancing global governance toward greater equity and justice, and the two sides should enhance coordination within multilateral platforms such as the UN, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS, remain committed to true multilateralism, guide global governance in the right direction, and promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, he said.

https://english.www.gov.cn/news/202505/08/content_WS681cbf21c6d0868f4e8f25b1.html

Doesn’t sound very ‘anti-globalist’, does it? Oh dear, back to the drawing board then.

This need a further translation. I see nothing wrong in this Xi’s speech.

Do we not need a more equal and peaceful world for all?
Do we not need to get rid of enclaves of multi-billionaires and do extreme poverty?

So the resources we today collect overseas in other countries than our own, also benefit the country where they are in a fair and reasonable exchange.

One Democratic Forum where also poor and small countries have a word of say is UN.
So far I can agree.

Then you come up and say the words “globalization” and “global governance” are baddy baddy words. Afffff.
But remember the times when each country were at its own, it was invaded plundered killed enslaved yes?
Europe when it was a bunch of countries were in eternal wars for power against their own neighbours.

I think what you wanna say is, that you are afraid that this centralisation/globalization will lead to a small group of giga-rich maniacs sitting on the top and destroying us all.

But this is what Xi says nor have in intention.
But for my part I can follow you along the lines that what they invent in UN as ESG, Clima Change, Digital ID/Wallet and other Leftist bs, are artificial systems for humanity.

According to the Lamestream Media and parts of the alt-media who were screaming about the origins of ‘Covid’ with headlines such as “China virus”, “wet market in Wuhan”, “China lab” etc. at various points during the Scamdemic era, six years later from the start of it and now China is being written as the good guy in the geopolitical script.

So if Covid-1984 was a real pathogen and it came from China, all is forgiven according to them? Nothing to see here.

Of course not – it never existed so there is nothing to forgive. 

See how easy it is to shape public opinion – switching the lead characters around from bad to good guys and even the reverse?

No different to the character development in the entertainment world of fictional books, films, TV shows and the like. Everyone loves to root for the hero and hiss and boo at the baddie.

The Chinese regime and its corporate partners played their role at the time of the Plandemic in ramping up the fear using major scare tactics that went viral (pun intended). They also had to accept a bad guy role – with a limited amount of finger pointing at them – and now they get their rewards. Not just rehabilitation in the minds of the foreign public but a major promotion from the controllers as had been planned and agreed. A public relations coup and a place at the top table of the multipolar NWO.

Next up, as I have been predicting for a while, will be Russia’s rehabilitation to good guy status, quite probably with Vlad the Indestructible cast as another hero in the public perception.

You’re correct.

Israel to become a resort state for the super-wealthy.

Gaza is what you could call a laboratory state where beta testing can be done in controlled conditions. The genocide has been a performance for at least thirty years now, used to deflect, enrage, deter, terrorize and polarize. The Palestinian leadership know they can be wiped out in an “Israeli strike” if they don’t play along so they do and get rewarded.

Gaza/Israel is the hub of the fake reality network if you like.

Remember that blonde kid from a few years ago always being conveniently filmed bravely punching IDF soldiers in full combat rig? Scale of 1 – 10 how real does anyone think that was now?

And anyone thinking Israel is running the show is only succumbing to the cultivated propaganda that relies on atavistic race bias. All carefully researched. Israel’s leaders are just following the script like everyone else.

I have long suspected that Israel is due to take a fall. Since the latest Gaza eposide that started in 2023 their narrative control has been abysmal based on their past ability to control it.

For a country that has backdoors into so much technology eg Intel chips, plus has Unit 8200 plus its intelligence services to be unable to control the negative publicity and sell their narrative is unheard of until post October 2023.

At some high level a decision seems to have been taken to allow huge amounts of negative publicity through even using the MSM outlets to do it. How much any of the lower level players, media and various nations govenment and civil service officials know is up for debate.

For whatever reason, it stinks of a psyop to incrementally discredit it. Perhaps, as a country it has outlived its usefulness. I imagine global governance has no place for an overtly ethno-nationalist state. Or perhaps leaving it in the Middle East where it is too disruptive to gain Arab (the peoples not their puppet regimes) buy-in to global governance requires its relocation. Ukraine anyone?

It doesn’t matter whether you live in China, Russia, U.S., Europe, Africa, Australia, South America, wherever, the modern age of technology and global capitalism has made it all the same. Humans still have the innate desires and need for nationalism, heritage, honor, ethnicity, etc., and to live amongst those like yourself. We are humans. There are also those among us who would sell out their own mothers for a buck. Always have been, always will be. Every country, nationality, religion, and ethnic group has them. Those are the ones fucking things up. The psychopaths and sociopaths rise to the top like cream.

So maybe we already have that New World Order, or One World Government. Get the fuck over it. If all governments have become so controlled by the rich who control the political systems, corporations, media systems, agriculture, medical, you name it systems, and they all implement the same control measures, laws, etc., then that’s what you’ve got, a one world government. It’s a law here, it’s a law there, it’s a law everywhere. The Robocops look the same no matter what language they speak. You all must have that digital ID because that we all do now. Load the fucking ap on your cell phone.

My oldest son recently moved to Spain with his family and one of the things we found out was that Amazon delivers there too. Why was I surprised. And they have Taco Bells, and shit like that. You’d have to be old to appreciate that. When I was growing up, it wasn’t like that. I remember watching the Chinese and Soviet Union military parades they would show on our black and white TVs, and the cultural differences were as pronounced as it gets. Now, that’s gone.

So ya, we’re in the New World Order now. Deal with it. Multipolar? Nah, that’s still happening, be awhile til that’s settled. Because we’re humans, man. But it doesn’t fucking matter now does it? We all are controlled by a kind of natural evolution of capitalistic and technological greed and the control of wealth which in our world, provides the power for that control. The only question is how to change that, if it can be changed.

Original tribalism was about survival. As to it being invented maybe, but as a means of survival, it was not yet what it has been turned into. Tribalism, Nationalism, Populism have been exploited by our owners into something “ugly” so they can usher in a global surveillance and control state. Yes, many of these are offshoots of organized religion, which came after the original tribal means of survival once that was no longer necessary. Organized religion was used to manipulate tribal instincts into something with centralized control and a leader to follow. The beginnings of a form of global governance, if you will. The Turds at the top have been playing a very long game to get us where we are today, after all.

Tribalism, smaller groups organized for survival, or whatever you wish to call it, IMHO may be our only means of thwarting a globalist state. All that ugly jingoism etc is the invented piece and is being used to discredit any resistance to the globalists at this point. Just like wars are started to reinforce that ugly side of tribalist instincts. Is tribalism perfect? Hell no. But is it better than what our owners plan for us? I think it just might be our only means to survive what they want, hence the need now to fully discredit it and use its negative side to make it undesirable with a “need” for a global, “equitable, fair and just” AI corporate governance.

In many ways, this is just like blaming the middle class for all the problems of the earth. Originally a middle class was seen a bedrock of representative government, with a semi-autonomous middle class not dependent on government or the banks. Now it is painted as the original sin, full of racism, conspicuous consumption, team sports, blah, blah, blah. But once that ugly bourgeoisie is fully eliminated, there’ll be “equality” alright – we will all be destitute under a global government, and “representation” in that model will simply no longer exist. Many think this is a good thing and done right it might be. But we all do know those running this shit show have NO intention of that and never did.

Well, if one doesn’t appreciate or support nationalism, i.e., nation states, then one must be for a one world government. I mean, what else is there? Total anarchy maybe. If we’re all one without national divisions, what’s the alternative? I’m certainly open to exploring alternatives.

And as far as the Soviet Union and China under communism, that’s a bit different from Germany and Hitler. I’ve been to communist states when I was young, saw it first hand. I played alot of basketball against communist teams. They were different, at least in those settings. Granted, they were certainly trained to be that way, but it was different, man. It actually was like walking into a black and white movie. That’s still how I describe it today to others. Like everything was black and white.

No Eddy Noddy. We dont need to adapt and be partner to something we dont like at all.
We are all born as unique species with each our talent to contribute to civilisation.

Because 1,5 billion people like swinger clubs and lolita plastic dolls and robot marriages, doesnt mean we all must like the same…….to get along…….and live with it. No!

Not sure who Eddy Noddy is (can you explain?).
But back to the subject – nowhere did I say or imply we had to adopt the Chinese system. I simply maintain that we should not see them as an enemy, and engage with them positively. Maybe we will learn something from each other.

I guess that is some sort of American thing. I means nothing to me (or, I am guessing anyone else). Can you explain it in another way, perhaps with words?

Eddy Noddy, forget it.

I am certainly not AI. And whilst I admit I might not get all jokes, I do manage with most. But your attempt here truly baffles me.

Please name at least two species, and which one is yours?

Every single human is unique. Not even twins are the same.
Do you understand it now, or do you need another university study to follow up on the subject?

Thank you both for completely avoiding the content of my remark, that NO, – and I repeat NO.

That we should NOT adapt us or ‘enter into a dialogue with’, nor meet something we dont like!

Just today I read an article in the US press (Washington Post, I believe) that said that the Chinese would have to implement some financial reforms if the yuan was to become a global reserve currency. Apparently China doesn’t have, among other things, a sound derivatives market — in fact, reading between the lines, the country maintains a tight grip on its financial sector and so doesn’t have enough scope for financial speculation or something like that. (That’s why its not a “Free Country” after all.)

I tend to be a bit old fashioned. I regard finance as a bit evil – a necessary evil, maybe, but still essentially parasitic so if left unfettered, the Holy Grail of the Free Marketers, it will froth violently and eventually drown everyone in a sink hole of debt. This is probably the key to all this Chinamaxxing — the financial types have just just about sucked the US carcass dry so they’re looking for somewhere else to get all Gung Ho about their novel techniques for exploitation. Here we might have screwed ourselves; some years ago China seemed to be anxious to copy western methods, including our finance based economy, but we got so concerned about their encroachment on our turf that we became officially (and still are officially) anti-China. This likely put the Chinese on notice that we weren’t really their friends, we were just running a bit short of easy pickings locally so were eyeing their fantastic market (like the good imperialists that we are). As I said at the time — “I think they’re on to us”.

Anyway, China’s likely to continue doing what China does regardless of what we in the West say or do. They might modify their approach or tweak their tactics to bend with the wind rather than bothering to stand up to it but I think that any attempt to characterize them as ‘one of us’ is just wishful thinking. Its us that needs to change, not them.

You’re paid to blow smoke. I know the type of verbiage they train you to use. It stands out a mile.

You, that Observer guy, “Maxwell”, couple others. All easy to pick out.

Think of your family, because whatever they told you about job security, pensions, health, it’s a lie. They’re going to cut you loose when they don’t think they need you any more, just like the rest of us. Except they don’t let guys like me go, they kill us off first.

Actually, I’m 77 years old and a naturalized American, having come here from the UK a bit over 40 years ago. I’m not paid to write anything (unless you count Social Security, of course). I’m really just some old geezer who should be spending his time more productively than writing screeds on offG.

Incidentally, if you lived in the US then you’ll know that job security is non-existent and pensions laughable (health care’s a bit iffy as well). Its not the place I moved to back then, in fact if I was doing it again I wouldn’t bother. I do at least get better weather where I live (but OTOH I’ve never once had to watch out for rattlesnakes when stomping around the Pennines).

You’re wasting your time trying to fool me. You have the mini bio printed out next to your fake name to remind you what persona you’re supposed to be using. Maybe you work from a base or maybe you work from home. You have software to enable speedy IP and location shifting. You’re an “anti-disinfo” grunt. I’ve sat in on training courses for you guys. I know the drill.

Derivatives. There is no such thing as a “sound” derivatives market. They don’t have a derivatives market because derivatives are a scam. Next big thing–collateralized debt obligations. Sheesh. If China gets them, it is doomed.

Derivatives is a sick artificial product.
I anticipate they will expand them to a QR code on our butt, and then international finance groups and hedge funds will bet on each our value due to our personal data profile collections in AI.
When you have no more value, we will be kicked out as garbage.

Bloomberg and the NYT were and are pro CCP: yuans talk. The WEF love Total Control, like the CCP has or NSDAP had. Never worker strikes in China, don’t ask, don’t tell. Never environmental complaints or restrictions, same receipt.
Mao made the Chinese work like robots already in the 1980’s with hours like 12/6/363 and Xi is his copycat.
