Trump's China tariffs could start a rebellion for the Chinese to overthrow Communism.
While certainly possible, that's a long shot. China has endured much worse in modern times without even blinking an eye. As long as upper party members remain happy, nothing will change.

We predicted this weeks ago on Liberation Day, but the bots and dems kept insisting that China had all the leverage.

You know the CCP "disappears" people for merely filming with their phones in public, right? Maybe you don't.
It doesn’t matter. There are westerners all over China. They have phones and can video. If there were mass demonstrations we would see the videos. For crying out loud, we saw videos of Tianeman Square and that was 35 years ago.

When Chinas wages rise, guess what isnt going to be cheaper to import?
Time to start those plants back up

Hmmm…the same CCP that “disappears” people in turn allows massive protests? Okay, maybe think it out before posting a smart arse response.
Ok, so point out where I mentioned anything about protests. Because I certainly didn't. And furthermore, I never even remotely insinuated anything about whether or not the CCP would allow mass protests to erupt.
They are firmly in control of both their populace and the narrative, and I have never stated otherwise.
You asked a question:

Where are the videos of these “spreading” protests???
And I answered with facts, right after you scolded someone else about not answering with any kind of facts. Perhaps it is you who should truly think things out very thoroughly before posting. I gave you exactly what you asked for.

That’s cute.
Tell that to the 1,417 Americans charged re: January 6th, 2021.
They werent just speaking out. Most of those convicted were given light sentences and the American people had the opportunity to elect someone who freed them. If they had tried to pull that shite off in China all 1417 of those folks wouldve been executed with a quickness. Either you are trolling or extremely un informed of how brutally the CCP controls any opposition if you think there is any comparison to the US government. We also have a built in fail safe called the 2nd Amendment if push really comes to shove. The Chinese people do not.

The CCP would never allow protests to erupt from workers either.
Its kinda weird what they "allow" and what they dont. They allow a little bit of public steam to get released here and there as long as it doens gain traction and folks get too organized and challenge the CCP. For example they have been mass protest going on here and there over the Evergrand mortgage meltdown. The CCP hasnt tried to squash those in overtly brutal fashion. Some of the protest during Covid were "allowed" while the CCP pretended to care.

Radio Free Asia is CIA propaganda. This is like believing western media's reporting on Ukraine.

Tiananmen Square protests lasted 7 weeks and had over 1 million people in the square at some point. Some factory workers demanding back pay, no matter in how many places, is not the same.
China does allow some protesting to blow off steam. I took a couple of Chinese history classes a couple of years ago and we watched some videos that were smuggled out. They let them protest for a little bit, then round up the leaders of the protests, claim that they are corrupt (usually corrupted by capitalism), then shoot them for being enemies of the state. The protests kinda dies down after that.

They are more lenient when it's not a protest that directly confronts the CCP.

These Chinese woman are getting a little fat. I was led to believe that I had to finish all of my food because of starving people in China.
That doesnt seem to be the case anymore.

The Factories in China prioritized paying suppliers and their bank loans instead of their employees
shite is was hitting the fan before the tariffs, Youth Unemployment (Ages 16-29) was over 20% before the CCP stopped reporting the numbers and that was before the tariffs, no telling what they're at now
Next (and last) red flag before they collapse or go to war is Capital Flight Controls to stop people from sending their money out of China

I don't know how many tariff "experts" there are here, but I feel confident that not only is it a single-digit number, but almost certainly less than 5.
I'm not an expert on tariffs, but I feel confident letting a man who's conducted business, both nationally and internationally, for approximately 50 years pursue what he thinks are the policies that will help the country in the long run.
And, let's be honest. The TDS crowd is never going to give President Trump credit for anything, anyway. As one example, border crossings are down virtually 100% since Trump re-entered the White House. Yet, one of our resident dummies ridiculously claimed several days ago that 7 million illegals had crossed over since January.
The truth matters not to them.

It appears you lack any understanding of what is happening in China. How is being used as virtual slave labor helping family, creating harmony or respect/
Posted on 5/6/25 at 8:27 pm to Crappieman
You know this is bunk. No one protests in China without approval of the government.
