Less than a week after World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab was brazen and immoral enough to declare China a “role model for many nations” despite its authoritarian rule and human rights abuses (in words that were similar to those of Canada’s Justin Trudeau, who once expressed his admiration for China’s “basic dictatorship”), China has now exploded in unexpected protests over imposed COVID lockdowns. According to the Express:
Protests against strict lockdown orders are growing in China, amid signs that the Chinese Communist Party is losing its grip over the Chinese people. Protesters demanded Xi Jinping step down in a country where any direct criticism of its leaders is rare and often results in harsh punishment.
The protests are already having an adverse effect upon the Chinese economy. According to Bloomberg, “optimism had re-emerged in Chinese markets after Beijing cut quarantine periods and dialed back testing, triggering a rally that’s added almost $370 billion to the MSCI China Index.” Now those gains are suddenly “unraveling due to the protests.”
Caution is setting in despite a growing chorus of bullish China calls on Wall Street that cite cheap valuations and friendlier policies. On Monday, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index slumped more than 4%.
This rapid hit to China’s economy obviously does not bode well for the country’s larger ambition, as it will play an as yet undetermined role in its future plans and quest for global hegemony and prestige.
What is unfolding in China demonstrates the basic and intrinsic human need for freedom, as well as the lust to enslave humans that is prevalent among the darkest elements of society. The word “revolution” is already being used to describe what has just began in China, more precisely, a white paper revolution. Keep in mind that over in Iran, the people’s revolution is expanding as well.
It is too early to tell whether the sudden explosion of protest in China is a revolution or hiccup, but there are significant factors to consider:
What is different today from past revolutions in China and Iran is their relative positions in a world that has rapidly globalized and is now undergoing frenetic change amid the notable void left by a weak America under Joe Biden. China has been expanding its influence at breakneck speed, and Biden’s handlers are still hoping to enrich Iran by means of a lucrative new nuke deal. Aspirations for world domination and global economic hegemony are now added to old fixations about domestic control of citizens. The world is watching. Should China decide to execute its protesters in a Tiananmen Square-style massacre, there will be consequences for its economy. Given China’s rapid expansion into global markets and its encroachment upon significant political arenas worldwide, it is clear that optics are important to the Beijing regime. Whatever happens next, Klaus Schwab already has egg on his face for touting China as a “global model.”
Meanwhile, it is significant that Canada’s Justin Trudeau, who has boosted China for the past decade, is suddenly distancing himself from the country. Trudeau’s move is a perfect example of how loyalties can change in an instant in the global quest for power and control. On November 1, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) was reported by Global News to be “increasingly concerned” about China’s interference in Canada. Then three days later, the Globe and Mail reported that a CSIS official told a House of Commons committee investigation into foreign interference in elections that “China is the ‘foremost aggressor’ when it comes to foreign interference in Western countries and ‘works within’ their political systems ‘to corrupt’ them.” Then Trudeau endured a public dressing down by China’s Xi Jinping for an “inappropriate leak” to the papers. To demonstrate just how determined and calculated Trudeau’s plan was to lock in a Canada-China pact, it is important to go back a decade, to three years before Trudeau became prime minister of Canada. At that time, Trudeau joined the Liberal leadership race to succeed Michael Ignatieff and was shockingly open about his grand idea to invest in China. His grand plan and forecast were helped along by McKinsey & Company, a global consulting firm whose managing director, Dominic Barton, would go on to become Canada’s ambassador to China in 2019. Trudeau and Barton together “shaped the Liberal government’s global outlook and economic policies,” which heavily involved China. Throughout his powerful and influential career, Barton became well known for “serving kleptocrats and oligarchs from Moscow to Riyadh and from Beijing to Johannesburg.” Barton identified Chinese markets and money as the “keys to Canada’s prosperity.”
Now, with the protests unfolding in China, Justin Trudeau’s distancing himself from China will appear more convincing to his base of support, as he hides his past abhorrent deeds of boosting China and “stealing” Canada’s freedoms.
In authoritarian societies such as China (and Iran), there is a stark contrast between oppressed populations and the authoritarian regimes that oppress them. Given the right conditions, the people may revolt, despite risk to their own lives. The events now unfolding in China should serve as a lesson to the West as the West continues to undergo foundational shifts: cancel culture has already succeeded in repressing the freedom of expression, followed by COVID lockdown overreach and the punishment of those who refused to comply with the demands of our globalist overlords. Demonizing and dehumanizing opponents is now commonplace, along with ruthlessly promoting propaganda against them. These tactics are established historically among fascists; the tactics of the Third Reich bear that out. Notice today how strong proponents of freedom are deemed “conspiracy theorists,” “extremists,” and “racists,” while the Left continues to sow divisions that could destroy Western societies.
The critical need for Western citizens to hold their governments accountable is more urgent than ever, especially during the tenure of an American president who openly scorns the phrase “Make America Great Again.” In the current climate, the traditional foes of America are all competing for a bigger piece of the global pie, with traitors in Western nations subvert their own countries. The Chinese protests are already destabilizing China’s economy while Western friends of China such as Justin Trudeau is distancing himself from the regime. Other friends of the Communist regime such as Klaus Schwab may soon do the same, depending upon how China controls its population. If it cracks down too harshly, the consequences could be devastating to the People’s Republic, but if the Communists do not crack down hard enough, this could well mark the end of the era of Xi Jinping. Xi may also go AWOL, as Trudeau did when the Freedom Convoy arrived in Ottawa.

I love to see that foul regime that runs China with an iron fist in trouble like this. I dread what that stinking regime might do though if they are really under threat since they have such a powerful war machine, including nuclear weapons. Similar to Putin’s regime. How those pieces of crap, Schwab and Trudeau, or any other human being could praise the regime in China is completely beyond my understanding. Maybe they are saying that this Chinese regime is raising the living standards there in China, but what a vicious regime it is. I heard a couple of days back, on the “Outsiders” program on Sky News here in Australia that the Canadian parliament has many members who have been youthful members of Schwab’s World Econimic Forum mob, authoritarian elitist scum that that mob are. So maybe they, and Trudeau, see the world the way the insidious Schwab sees it. It would be great to see the regime in China fall apart one day and some type of humane government gain power there. Probably a million to one shot that that will ever happen.

I hope that these uprisings in both China and Iran come to fruition, and both governments go down. Yeah, things will be chaotic, but there will be an end to either Chinese imperial designs on the rest of the world, or Iranian sponsorship of jihad in other places. All that despite effete Western governments going woke all at the same time
tim gallagher says
I hope so too, Infidel. Glad to see that evil regime in China getting a bit of a black eye. Same for that disgusting regime in Iran. They showed Schwab saying that China was a “role model” on the “Outsiders” program and I thought, what the hell is he on about. The only thing that I could think of (because I couldn’t believe that anyone would say good things about the Chinese regime) is that he was thinking about how a lot of the Chinese people have had an increase in their standard of living. I guess I just see China as a massive threat to the entire world, which it plainly wants to dominate, so anything that harms that regime there is a good thing.

I see Klaus Schwab on Mark Steyn’s GBNews show every other day, and it’s just creepy how similar he sounds to TV villains like Lex Luthor. Here is a man w/ absolutely no moral compass whatsoever: it’s irrelevant to him how many people get displaced from their livelihoods, as long as he gets to live out his wet dreams of a globalist society w/ just his coterie designing everything about the world
It’s time for countries to start leaving the UN and all these globalist conferences, rather than trying to join them
tim gallagher says
Schwab is creepy alright, Infidel. I only know anything about the World Economic Forum because Rowan Dean on the “Outsiders” program really hammers them. He alerted me to their existence. I find their agenda alarming and bizarre. I have seen that quote where they say that in the future we will “own nothing and be perfectly happy” and think it is beyond weird. To me, it sounds so opposed to human nature. Some monks might choose to live that way, but it is not for most people at all. WEF people are bizarre people and dangerous in my opinion.

The Communist heads funded the creation of a specific strain of the coronavirus, in the city of Wuhan that plagued all the nations of the world.
Now that Red regime of China is taking out its of folly of manufacturing COVID -19 out on the Chinese people who had nothing to do that that making of that virus.
Walter Sieruk says
Since the subject of Communist China has been brought up, this is thus an appropriate time and likewise important to define the concept of Communism .Otherwise known as Marxism. There the pipe-dream of a pure Marxist society in the philosophical political economic fantasy that no one is ever really in need and everyone “Works according to his abilities and receives according to his needs”
In contrast, there is the reality of Communism which is that Marxism is a philosophy that no intelligent person can actually, truthfully accept is not only unrealistic and unnatural but a joke and a brutal excuse to set up and prop-up tyranny. For evil is always looking for an excuse. Marxism is just the excuse need to set up brutal regimes. Such as that tyrannical and oppressive state of Red China.
Likewise, that just quoted statement that “Evil is always looking for an excuse” also applies the Red China’s new massive COVID lockdowns which further increases its tyranny over the people.
Walter Sieruk says
The ancient Greek Philosopher, Plato, did have a good valid point when he had written, “The measure of a man is what he does with power.”
When applying that wise statement to Joe Biden, his “measure” is more than lacking, it’s outright terrible.
For Biden is the obedient “lap dog” of the Communist President of China, Xi Jinping. Likewise, Biden is also the faithful supporting servant the close ally of Red China. Which is that anti-America “mullah regime” of Iran. That hates the United States that it sets up billboards in Tehran that read “Death to America” and calls the US “The great Satan.”
Surely, the “measure” of Joe Biden is so very horrendously evil that he is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a calamity for America and a disaster for the American people.
Walter Sieruk says
Under the Joe Biden regime is nation is gradually becoming a tyranny.. So much for “freedom of speech” Likewise with Biden and his Marxist comrades Americans may be guilty a “thought crime” meaning having a politically incorrect thought or idea.
It’s like the novel by George Orwell entitled “1984’ is now becoming a reality in America.
So, it’s no wonder the Joe Biden likes and admires the Communist President of China So much that not only does Biden have international policies favoring the Red tyranny by Biden must also find the China’s
actions of having political prisoners as a model for him to emulate.
Wellington says
If only all of mankind and every polity would finally grasp that the four essentials to both a free and productive society are 1) democracy, 2) capitalism, 3) a fair and impartial legal system and 4) all of the above infused and guided by a proper moral code.
Islam, Western Leftism and your standard authoritarianism are woeful in all four of these essentials. All three of these ways of mankind proceeding have power in our era but they are all equally devoid of wisdom and decency. Conclusion: So much of mankind is still an eff-up. No good reason for this but this is the reality. Pathetic.

Joe Biden has such a strong admiration for Red China that he even has his Beijing type political prison in Washington DC which must obviously be modeled on how Communist China mistreats and abuses its own political prisoners who were falsely arrested on January 6, 2021 at Washington D.C
For in the Biden gulag the American patriots falsely arrested in that leftist set up gets worse, those the patriots are kept 23 hours alone in single dark moldy cells to not working plumbing, and this means not even a working toilet. They are also given little food and the little they do receive is of very poor quality. In other words, the food is terrible, they are also denied proper medical care, no matter how much anyone on them might desperately need it
This is like the political prison in Communist China. So, it’s no wonder that Joe Biden likes Red China and have many of his polices favoring that Red tyranny.

China: Covid protests explode as demonstrators demand Xi Jinping step down — a revolution or hiccup?

I hope this is serious. Time will tell.
