The CCP has little to no interest in the general welfare of the Chinese people; it's apparatchiks have only one interest: power and how to retain it.
Sheer ideological nonsense; common prosperity is THE goal of the CCP, unlike Western elites who have designed chronic, evasive, generational poverty into the very economic system itself.
Quote:Internally, the CCP is riven by factions, the Xi gang, the Jiang gang (AKA the Shanghai gang) and the Hu's youth league &etc.
And the adversarial multi-party system with its party factions is....
Quote:The lockdowns imposed by the Xi gang have little to nothing to do with eradicating covid in China, but (a) a face-saving exercise for Xi (given he has staked his political reputation on zero-covid) and (b) the implementation of a Mao-style purge across China with the aim of Xi becoming a Mao 2.0 (even to the point of publishing his own Mao-style 'little red book').
More ideological nonsense, 'zero covid' is a life saving exercise which may or may not be more effective than other 'living with covid' policies, but to claim zero covid exists as an excuse to exercise power is nonsense.
( btw, apparently covid deaths in Oz are currently 10 times normal flu season deaths, it ain't over yet).
Quote:Power drives the CCP; not concern for the welfare of the Chinese people.
In your delusional, paranoid 'sovereign individual rights' ideology....
