lol what a piece of poo poo.

xi's "mistakes" are not increasing privatization and not bending the knee to dc.

that's all he can come up with, and he can't provide any non-hypothetical ill effects of either.

one thing that comes to my mind when reading this article, ive been living in china for the entire time xi has been president and as far as i can see, life has materially improved for average people in china to an incredible degree. the median salary in the city i live has more than tripled, public transportation in dozens or maybe hundreds of cities has massively improved, cities are noticeably cleaner, air pollution has been severely reduced, rural infrastructure seems a lot better, there's been the rollout of the high speed train system, etc.

the stuff about local discontent and protests and all that seems like you could make a narrative like that anywhere, idk. sure some people are unhappy with the state of things, but they always have been and there's always been protests in china but it may be easier for people on the internet to see clips of them now.

the other stuff isnt even worth arguing against. like how china isnt capable of competing with tsmc on advanced semiconductors. you need to look at where theyve come from, you cant only compare to contemporaries and claim that a developing middle income country isnt literally the best in the world at some stuff so it's a failure. and of course it's less that xi jinping personally alienated america and pushed us into being rivals, and more that the very existence of china is a threat to the united states and it always will be

imo the Falun Gong nuts are the most reliable of the blatantly biased anti-CCP sources, in that they often break stories that are real (eg the recent banking crisis/protests) a few days before mainstream sources, often based on them having supporters and sympathizers inside the country feeding them stories. They are, sadly, the closest thing China has to organized opposition right now.

Now granted they also break totally nonsense rumor bullshit stories from time to time, but I'd say the hit rate is 70/30 and most of the nonsense is easy to clock because it's usually some specious mandate of heaven poo poo about how all the ducks in Suzhou are flying backwards because Xi has offended Tian

Beautiful.

I am listen to the Taiwanese political whispers, it looks like Jiang (Chiang)'s great grandson is leading the Taipei race and will beat out that awful Covid Czar from DPP and the current vice mayor (third party/independence)

I still think little Jiang is too young and too soft, but KMT is a complete talent desert in their younger generations so they will take whatever they can get. Probably will push him to run for president in 2032 too, if Republic of China is still around.
