Watching China Melt Down

[theotherwaldo]

Meanwhile, Elon and many of the other corporates that are edging away from China are trying to deal with the massive, hide-bound bureaucracies that functionally run India, They are so intractable that some of the corporations are considering Vietnam and their neighbors. Elon seems to think that he can work his way through them. I have my doubts.
Remember, India expects to be the most populous country in the world by next year,,, ,

 

[theotherwaldo]

China's population level is going into free-fall.
Only 1.2 million live births in 2021.
It would take 3.3 million just to maintain the current population level.
India says that they will be the most populous nation come 2023... .

Now that China's economy is in the gutter, the CCP has dropped their 'Zero COVID' policy.
-Remember, their home-grown vaccine is relatively ineffective, their population has minimal resistance to infection and the virus was probably developed using Han stock as the developmental host.
This indicates that China is very likely to have an explosion of new cases.

I hope that they control the international spread i little bit better this time... .

 

[sota]

nah. spread that shit all over. make sure we keep loudly pointing the finger at them. I want WW3 already.

Personally, I don't see a way out of our current world and local situations, not without some SERIOUS pain brought to the forefront.

Hard Times make Hard Men.
Hard Men make Good Times.
Good Times make Soft Men.
Soft Men make Hard Times. <-- WE ARE HERE

 

[theotherwaldo]

Frankly, if existing forms of COVID hit most of the world it wouldn't be noticed.
They didn't lock down solid.
They had access to effective vaccines, whatever the side effects.
They've built up some resistance.
China didn't.

...
Soft Men make Hard Times. <-- WE ARE HERE

Yes. Have you noticed how many young people - and especially young men - are, well, just plain FAT?!? Sorry if I've offended. But only a little. To be inoffensive, I suppose I should say "obesity-challenged."

 

[theotherwaldo]

I, too was gravitically challenged until I found out that I was diabetic and lost 190 pounds... .
I'm still not svelte, but I'm still working on it.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Now China is admitting to over 250,000,000 current symptomatic COVID cases and telling those that have mild symptoms to just go to work.
Anyway, hospitals are overloaded and they've run out of medicines.
Oddly, they're only admitting to seven COVID deaths... .

 

[wiscoaster]

Just let Ma Nature deal with it. Seems the first sensible thing they've done.

 

[theotherwaldo]

Their leaders, many of which are over 90 years old, are dropping like flies.
Many of them have been kept alive using transplants from students that have been 'disappeared' from their elite schools, which require a complete medical check before admission.
There have been hundreds of disappearances in the last few years from these schools, none of which have been solved.
One of the necessary requirements for a successful transplant is the use of drugs to suppress the immune system that normally would reject the foreign tissues.
Guess what happens to an elderly person in this condition when they catch COVID?

 

[theotherwaldo]

It has been reported that Xi Jinpeng's mother just died.
Also that both COVID and influenza were spread through the attendees st the congress where Xi Jinpeng was voted in as functional president for life.
This may be the real reason that the lockdown was dropped... .

 

[wiscoaster]

If China would reveal what therapeutics are keeping Xi alive and healthy Pfizer could be making trillions instead of just billions.

 

[theotherwaldo]

-I don't think that Pfizer will be allowed to harvest the organs of living schoolboys to extend the lives of politicians and the wealthy - at least in America.
The eulogy for one of the nonagenarians that passed recently included the man's brag that many of his organs hadn't originally belonged to him... .

Meanwhile, some Chinese steel plants have been converted to crematoriums to reduce the huge overflow of the dead from COVID.
Folks had started burning their dead in the streets... .

I dunno, is that fact or just misinformation to scare the rest of the world into another lockdown?

 

[theotherwaldo]

China's not that good at psyops.
Hospital staff being ordered to keep working even when they are barely able to walk, while towing their IV carts behind them.
The huge lines of loaded hearses leading to the overloaded crematoriums.
The warehouses packed with filled coffins.
The shipping containers being used as morgues.
The crowds of folks in the white of mourning surrounding the death fires, lighting fireworks to cover the sound of skulls bursting from the heat.
Mass graves being dug and filled in the hinterlands.
Nope, I don't think so... .

 

[wiscoaster]

Where you getting this? China's pretty good at keeping stuff hidden they don't want the world to know. Their internet is all behind their "great firewall". Nothing gets in they don't allow in and nothing gets out they don't allow out. If stuff like this is fact, and it's getting out, you can bet there's a motive of some kind behind it.

 

[theotherwaldo]

There are several YouTube channels that have pretty good reporting on China, including China in Focus, China Uncensored and China Insights.
WION is out of India and is a bit slanted but is usually fairly accurate.
There are many others.
You're not going to find much on the mainstream media, of course... .

 

[wiscoaster]

Thanks, I'll check them out.
I had been following serpentza, laowhy86 and ADVChina, but they left China just before the pandemic stuck, and their recent videos have been spotty and more along the lines of opinion as opposed to news.

 

[theotherwaldo]

The mainstream media is beginning to notice the Chinese meltdown.
Wall Street Journal:

China’s Shrinking Population Is Deeper Problem Than Slow Growth for Its Economy​

 

[theotherwaldo]

Some knowledgeable people are suggesting that China's population has dropped below a billion - that China has lost more people than the total population of the U.S. and Canada... .
