#1 Youtube "Empty Chinese Cities" - something is way off over there. I heard that Red China was over reliant on homes sales (one home per person) as a metric for measuring their demographic unrealizing people were creating fake paperwork to buy homes. Then when covid hit, the deaths per proportion to society were much greater than on paper leaving China with a whole lot less people than they thought. IDK the truth, but empty cities and villages are eerie - that's a fact, and there's lots of video of them mostly empty. Anyways..

I'm hearing that Hardline Commies are maneuvering against Xi and putting him on defense to protect his circle of power and influence.

I also heard an interesting fact that less than 1000 Party Members control China's manufacturing and export base.

#2 I'm reading reports from folks who do population counts all over the world. They are saying that, based on multiple known data factors within China, the current Chinese population might only be 900M (or even less) instead of the 1.4B the CCP publishes.
Number caskets and burial plots purchased over the last 5 years, number of active cellphones, rapid decline in personal taxes received, etc.
They lost a lot more folks during covid than they're letting on, young people aren't having children AND the one-child policies really bit them hard.

#3 Interesting bits of information. Something to keep an eye on. What if Fauci was simply "following orders?"

Thanks Rich and Mosso.

#4 I think a lot of the thinking about large scale deaths from covid in China are probably misinformed; remember, a lot of the deaths in the US were self inflicted: remdesivir, rationing of antibiotics, and secondary infections probably accounted for more than half the deaths attributed to covid here.

All China had to do to not get a lot of deaths was treat it like viral pneumonia was treated in the west in 2018.

#5 Except that we saw videos of them ruthlessly seal up apartment buildings in the early weeks, with tales of no food deliveries thereafter. If that was true, many must have died of deprivation in the early days, despite never falling significantly ill.
