OK, I surf YouTube every now and again (bad, bad, bad, right?) and I look at the vids about Red China simply because I want to have a grip on how things are going over there. Granted YT is part of the enemy and does a lot of censoring, but, if even half the stories coming out of there are true, ol' Shih is in a heap of trouble.
I could rattle on for hours (no, anything but THAT!) about the water situation, how big a finance bubble they have, kids that won't work, buildings, roads, bridges, and dams all collapsing due to lousy construction, and lots of other stuff, but this vid caught my ear for one reason.
Apparently, teachers of foreign languages over there are losing their jobs.
What does that have to do with me, you ask?
Because the boys in the Forbidden City want to block out Western influence. Right now, what's being taught in schools is the Shih Jin-ping school of socialism. This is why companies are bailing on the Reds there as much as they are here.
China's tried this before. The Boxer Rebellion and all of Mao's Commie daydreams. Neither worked out too swell.
If the Reds are turning in on themselves once again, what happens here? Doubtless, all the Demos expected the Reds to bail them out if the country turns into Venezuela due to their enlightened leadership. Now that may be coming to an end.
Life is about to get very interesting, I think.
PS This really has turned into a fun summer. The Fall should be good, also.
Can Trump out these guys into showing their true selves or not?

Winnie the Pooh bit off more than he could chew.
The bear thought he could run the entire Hundred Acre Wood as fascists always do.
The bill will eventually come due.
Lots of suffering in the future but we know not how many or who.
Appreciating this shared awareness, edutcher, of more going on than meets the eye (or makes it into MSN), signifying another shift underway.
It's also come to my attention recently, as I bemoan the willingness of US leadership to sell out and bow to China, that other militarized nations around China, like South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Viet Nam, and India, may not be as willing to accept cultural control (or wokeness) or agree to domination from China with the same roll-over placidly and lack of care as the US appears to be doing. It's relieving and distressing to realize the reset button has once again been pushed to set the table for another round,
Yes also to the truth in the poem about the bill and the suffering to come. In addition to the suffering already underway and suffering set in motion and exponentially compounded by Biden's betrayals and fecklessness.
The word feckless has been stuck in my mind ever since the mom of the recently fallen Marine accurately nailed it on Biden. In an odd way, her public declaration of Biden's incompetence may serve as a parting gift of truth from her son, delivered through her to be heard, remembered and recalled for years to come as part of Biden's epitaph.
While Trooper acknowledged the phrase in his post, this part of the story also stuck with me as notable. It captures and expresses, in the "That's what gets me" ending, what many in America, myself and family included, are attempting to sort through and determine in the aftermath. We are all in the process of determining once again what the something that matters most is all about.
My son was a genius child, an IQ 156. He could have done anything you wanted to do in the military and he chose to be a Marine sniper. … He chose this course, but I never thought in a million years he would die for nothing, for nothing because a feckless, dementia-ridden piece of crap decided he wanted a photo op on Sept. 11. That’s what kills me,” McCollum said. “I wanted my son to represent our country, to fight for my country, but I never thought that a feckless piece of crap would send him to his death and smirk on television while he’s talking about people dying with his nasty smirk.”
“This was an unnecessary debacle that could have been handled properly. They had months and months to remove everyone from Afghanistan and they chose not to,” McCollum said. “And so they sent in frickin what? Six thousand troops? And my son, through the laws of statistics, my son was one of the ones who just got blown up in a freaking terrorist bomb yesterday.”
For an ill-managed debacle of a freaking withdrawal from a country that we had total control of. That’s what gets me. That’s what gets me,” she said. “How much more horrific can it get to know that your son died for nothing? …
