Great information as always, Peter.

Who is really calling the (IT) shots in China?

Anyone who considers China's African investment strategy "less imperialist" has not really been paying attention.

Chinese firms are a primary driving force behind the environmental destruction and slave labor practices in the mining of cobalt and other conflict minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other African nations.

Thanks for that.

The article goes deep to expound that nefarious organizations beyond the CCP have instigated / implemented the smothering of people’s freedoms through IT (smartphones).

I seem to remember -in the early days of the pandemic - that supposedly China was building hospitals in a mere three days to a week. Was that just propaganda?

Much of what China did really seemed performative. When writing my post on the microbiome yesterday I remembered videos of widespread disinfection/fumigation of the streets. The odds of such a feat actually working are nearly zero, but the damage to human health and the environment may be pretty high.

Many countries adopted China's actions without even considering if they actually worked, because they would rather do something than nothing and get blamed for deaths. Given that we have verifiable evidence that many of these measures are ineffective, China is likely in a sticky situation because they can't really deceive the world given that the world "peer reviewed" and "reproduced" China's policies with our own adoptions.

That has always been one of the most bizarre aspects of the Pandemic Panic Narrative--the facts and the evidence NEVER lined up.

Italy jumped on the lockdown bandwagon shortly after China did it, and country after country followed suit in early 2020--yet even China's massively fudged data showed that COVID infections only got worse under lockdown, never better.

It was obvious almost from the beginning that China's Zero COVID antics were not working, and yet it seems half of the "experts" (e.g., Anthony "The Science" Fauci) actually praised China for leading the way on these measures.

The world did indeed "peer review" China's Zero COVID policies--and the government concluded they were great and the people concluded they were crap.

In the sense that the structures erected could legitimately be called "hospitals", yes, they were propaganda.

The structures were poorly built, with poor facilities, and were in every regard more like dysfunctional prisons then sanctuaries for the sick.
