60-foot-bus submerged in central China flood; Survivor recounts escaping flooded tunnel
- Thread starter Ellanjay
- Start date
The Chinese Communist Party are unprepared to actually do anything for their citizens. They are so focused on ensuring that their citizens are captive to their ideology that when it comes to actual activities of their citizens, they couldn't figure out the difference between what is appropriate - they really don't care and will desperately do what they figure they should do. What they could have done to either prevent what happened or mitigate what happened they don't have a clue and/or they don't care. They're too power hungry so that what happens to the average Chinese doesn't matter. That's what authoritarian governments do - cover their asses b'cuz they don't care about the average citizen.
Sounds almost like our Canadian Liberals . We should re-elect them .
Authorities destroy river dikes amid floods; Missing husband found dead: flooded Chinese subway
Chinese authorities send excavators to destroy a river bank in Henan province. But when locals tried to stop them, they got doused by pepper spray and had their cars smashed. Civilian rescue teams are taking matters into their own hands. They say authorities failed to provide enough disaster aid. Residents lay flowers at the entrance of a flooded subway station in China’s Henan province. Authorities set up barricades there—attracting online criticism. Beijing cracks down on private companies, sending shockwaves through stock markets, and sparking fear among American traders. And Hong Kong moves one step closer to Communist China.

Man attacked for filming subway mourners; US bill bans maps showing Taiwan as part of China
A man in China’s Zhengzhou city was brutally attacked by what appear to be plainclothes police officers as the man captures a video of mourners gathering to pay respects after the city’s subway #FloodDisaster.

And, people in Beijing are panic buying en masse. That's amid fears of an upcoming pandemic outbreak. And Beijing isn't the only city affected.
Special report on #EpochTV: For years, cyberattacks have been a huge headache for the U.S. and its allies. Now for the first time, they're formally calling out one of the biggest sources in charge behind the scenes. “The U.S. is joining allies around the world to call out the Chinese government for a series of cyber intrusions," CBS This Morning reported. Randy Grossman, Acting U.S. Attorney, Southern District of California said "This prosecution is unique. This case is about a cyber hacking and economic espionage campaign led by the government of China." In a special report, we look at just who are these Chinese hackers... How the regime uses the attacks to achieve their strategic goals... “Unsurprisingly, the intrusions targeted industries outlined in the made in China 2025 plan- China's ten-year plan for targeting strategic advanced technology manufacturing industries for development," Grossman added. How Beijing is building a massive database —full of details about average Americans. “We're talking about health histories, their criminal histories… Social Security numbers, biometric fingerprints,” PBS News Hour reported.

‘What China does is your responsibility’: Dr. Corr on US investing in China | China in Focus
In this special episode, we sat down with two guests. Dr. Anders Corr, publisher of the Journal of Political Risk, delves into two of his exclusive articles. One reveals just how much money U.S. investors have poured into China since 1992—a whopping $2.3 trillion. He sheds light on the moral and ethical concerns around that. Corr said, “The more that this data is coming out, actually, the more Wall Street is questioning, I believe, some of their investments, and whether these investments can keep going without crashing. Just this last week, the Shanghai stock index has dropped over 6 percent, which is a really big drop. I think that the investors are getting very jittery about China at this point. They’re a bit worried because of that drop—this week’s drop—and you actually do see in the news quite a bit. Now, some concerns … because the government can take your investments in two seconds. And we’ve seen that, that the Chinese Communist Party has no qualms about taking DiDi apart, taking Jack Ma apart, and financial Alibaba. These companies are small companies to that. They’re little ants to be squished for the Chinese Communist Party, they [the CCP] really don’t care. If you’re a billionaire, or a multimillionaire, they will take your money if they can, or if they deem that it’s good for the Party.”

Documentary: The American Dream Takes On China Inc. Part Two: The Clean Network | Zooming In China
This movie tells the story of the Clean Network Alliance of Democracies, created by Under Secretary of State Keith Krach to defeat the CCP’s master plan to dominate global 5G. The first government-led initiative that proved China Inc. is beatable by exposing its biggest weakness—lack of trust. The Clean Network stands as a proven, replicable model to counter the CCP’s global economic aggression and a vital beachhead to launch initiatives to bolster U.S. leadership & allies across a broad array of strategic technologies vital to our future. The Clean Network proved to be a winning bipartisan formula adopted by the Biden Administration as a global brand, well-positioned to challenge the CCP’s hegemonic ambitions across every critical economic realm. The Wall Street Journal calls Clean Network an undisputed success and perhaps the most enduring foreign policy legacy of the last 4 years. According to Bloomberg, Tech Titan Krach harnessed the power of a network of nations to counter China—a notable change in tone after years in which the administration pursued a go-it-alone strategy.
