Their leader is trying to get rid of term limits

2018-12-17 03:44:42 UTC  

Either China gets its shit together and becomes an actual world power or it collapses

2018-12-17 03:44:49 UTC  

Xi Jinping is already chairman for life

2018-12-17 03:45:08 UTC  

And the government is planning to impose a social credit system along with national public surveillance

2018-12-17 03:45:19 UTC  

10 years later Big Brother is watching

2018-12-17 03:45:21 UTC  

There does exist actually a hardline communist group, underground and banned by the government, which has a membership of about 20,000 people if their numbers are to be believed, which might become violent at some point since they hate everything since Deng Xiaoping

2018-12-17 03:46:00 UTC  

China keeps growing economically anyways

2018-12-17 03:46:06 UTC  

The chinese will only care once they run out of money

2018-12-17 03:46:12 UTC  

And as the economy keeps getting worse and worse - and mind you, the economic growth has been the single legitimising point of the CPC since 1990s - this group may gain traction

2018-12-17 03:46:26 UTC  

see,

2018-12-17 03:46:31 UTC  

China's economy is growing still

2018-12-17 03:46:38 UTC  

but the growth is getting slower and slower

2018-12-17 03:46:40 UTC  

Yeah

2018-12-17 03:46:42 UTC  

the long-term trends are all fucked

2018-12-17 03:46:48 UTC  

Growth has been shrinking since like 2010

2018-12-17 03:46:51 UTC  

yes

2018-12-17 03:46:52 UTC  

nonstop

2018-12-17 03:47:00 UTC  

no matter what the CPC does to artificially prop it up

2018-12-17 03:47:10 UTC  

and they've been pulling all the possible tricks for a decade

2018-12-17 03:47:11 UTC  

and

2018-12-17 03:47:18 UTC  

*its. not. working*

2018-12-17 03:47:22 UTC  

Yeah

2018-12-17 03:47:31 UTC  

And if China collapses so does North Korea

2018-12-17 03:47:36 UTC  

2 birds with one stone

2018-12-17 03:47:51 UTC  

DPRK is a total loose cannon to be honest, it might go on a suicide offensive if China collapses

2018-12-17 03:47:55 UTC  

wouldn't put that past WPK

2018-12-17 03:48:00 UTC  

Just take money from the rich and invest it in the private sector.

2018-12-17 03:48:04 UTC  

Wouldn't be surprised

2018-12-17 03:48:17 UTC  

as long as China is around, it will be a rational actor, but if China collapses I'd say all bets are off

2018-12-17 03:48:28 UTC

2018-12-17 03:48:34 UTC

2018-12-17 03:48:56 UTC
