Xi Jinping Plans A One-Man War For Taiwan
As China collapses inward
Xi Jinping is 72. If nature took him tomorrow, he would have no heir apparent, since he has never developed a protégé to inherit the mantle of Party leadership. Purges of top military officials have resumed, raising questions about the future of China and the probability of war in the Taiwan Strait. Whatever happens now, you can be sure that Xi Jinping will be the one calling the shots.
Chris Chappell practices Falun Gong and is linked to The Epoch Times. He has a Daily Show-style YouTube channel with very consistent, clear analysis. As confusing rumors about Zhang Yuxia and Xi Jinping clouded the China-watching community last year, Chappell did not read tea leaves. He cut right through the chaff cloud of esoteric CCP propaganda to dispel the manufactured drama. Here, Chappell explains in practical terms just why the western press is so bad at understanding events in China, and why the analysts forecasting peace in the Strait of Taiwan are dangerously wrong. I agree with him that the danger level is now much higher than before. My analysis is below the fold, exclusively for premium subscribers.
