Chinese Unrest and Assassination Attempt

[BlueOak]

The Top general taken out. Second in command of the military. Xi's purge continues.

 

Chinese troops reinforce the capital.

Following the Putin playbook. Kill all opposition. Kill all dissent. Kill everyone with a different opinion. Sad world we live in.

I'd be looking for better sources than these channels. Why this general was purged and what happened exactly is unknown and those channels spread speculation and tell you it's facts. I'd check at least what the mainstream media have to offer to cross reference the news. No offense, but I've already seen this unreliable news sourcing when you posted years ago about ukraine.

I've found the Enforcer channel one of the best out there, as they source everything.

They've got things wrong and admitted them, but they've done the most detailed sourcing and analysis i've seen anywhere on the details of the war(s) they cover. They have an obvious bias in commentary towards Ukraine and Israel, but not in analysis or sourcing the details themselves. The only channel I would put close would be:

https://www.youtube.com/@UkraineMatters 
Ukraine Matters. Obvious Ukraine biased but very honest when things are going badly, and has a good meta analysis of the front lines often.

I've never seen a pro Russian channel be honest when things are going badly for Russia, though i've seen a few I used to watch with good analysis, they would gloss over or ignore when things were going badly, whereas these two the Enforcer, and Ukraine matters do not, also https://www.youtube.com/@arturrehi has been honest but doesn't have the same strategic overview of the war.

The Business Basics channel exaggerates, no doubt, but often drops things I hadn't considered or noticed. The Purge in the Chinese military has been ongoing for years however.

But your indication to watch mainstream media for accuracy is quite honestly ludicrous and has been for about 30 years. They post what is politically advantageous to their chosen political party, be that the America parties or the Russian parties, or whatever country you are watching. There is almost no independent mainstream analysis available. 

Also going to drop:

Inside Russia, for a steady approach from a russian economist, with friends in businesses still back in Russia. Through him i've understood the Russian mindset more on a day to day level.

I have a question to @BlueOak

I notice that people in UK and even Europe to some extent are pretty obsessed with China

Why?

China is far away, they do not threaten Europe and they seem to do their own thing

You can make a claim about them oppressing some of their minorities but a lot of other countries do the same and there is no obession

I know China is becoming a superpower but I  have not seem them have any claims in Europe or the West (unlike Russia)

What am I missing?

Xi is holding back China during their best chance to exploit America’s instability.

What he should be doing is implementing democratic reforms to make Europe more comfortable, and then exploiting the Trump chaos to increase ties.

He should be using his military to reinforce Venezuela and Iran and try to bait them into long protracted wars with the US. Then exploit this by arming more to drag it out while preparing to seize Taiwan while the US is distracted.

They are the reason Russia can continue to attack Europeans and destabalise the continent. They supply materials, money, technical expertise, industrial might to keep the Russian country not only supplied to fire missiles but running at all. Without China Russia would have stopped this war years ago, they would not be able to run their factories, their cars, or their aeroplanes. Moreover, we would not be close to WW3 if China did not insist on taking everything and everyone one that wasn't nailed down as its own.

They are one of the main forces behind reshaping the world into an autocratic hellhole. 

They have genocided Uyghurs. They have invaded Tibet and ripped apart their culture. They are pushing into the south China Sea. They are doubtless involved in Mynamar and cambodia pushing on Thailand. They continue to push their influence outward by debt traps, buying up ports, buying critical infastructure in countries, and establishing a trade empire. 

They are expansionist and invasive and the reason our countries are under threat.
