The US doesn't understand what's going on in China. Our "serious media" isn't helping.

forcing them into concentration camps, outlawing Muslim sounding names and forbidding them from growing beards, Chinese government is also reportedly chaining their kitchen utensils
China is trying to ban Islam – and the world doesn’t seem to care much about it.
They are not just designed to torture but to destroy all remnants of the Muslim culture and convert Uighurs to Atheism.
China has banned Islam in East Turkistan, closing Uyghur Muslim mosques, forcing millions into atheist "re-education camps,"
prisoners are also forced to eat pork and drink alcohol
This humiliation and suppression is just the tip of the iceberg.

They have shut down mosques, banned the Quran and forbidden Muslim men to grow beard
"We target people who are religious…" one Chinese government officer admitted.
imposed regular “home stays” on families
Cadres spend 5 to 14 days every two months in the families’ homes and evidently, the families cannot refuse this intrusion.
China continues to violate the rights of its citizens by humiliating and oppressing them, yet the world watches on in silence, completely ignoring the plight of nearly 11 million Uighurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities.

China's economic interests in Africa is one of the most recognised and talked about international engagements. Earlier this month, Xi Jinping pledged to provide Africa $60BN over the next 8 years. But the portrayal of China’s investments in Africa have been particularly negative in the West with headlines such as “Is China Good or Bad for Africa?” China in Africa: Collaboration or Colonialism?

So, is China colonising Africa in a new form of colonialism? What do African's think? And what do the facts say? I’m Kasim, this is KJ Vids and in this video, we will look at China’s investments in Africa.

With the Belt and Road initiative in full swing, China is working to develop and integrate its interior into the global economy. Thereby, bypassing maritime chokepoints and reducing its economic disparity at the same time. Yet, many have come to question China’s intentions, and believe that Beijing uses debt, as part of its checkbook diplomacy, to advance its regional interests.

For over a decade, Chinese political and corporate leaders have been hunting for investment opportunities around the globe with bottomless wallets. From Asia, to Africa, the U.S and Latin America, China has asserted itself as an emerging world power.

The multi-billion dollar belt and road initiative which some have called as the “Chinese Marshall Plan,” is designed to encourage economic connectivity and integration to the Eurasia strategic landscape, by linking Europe and Asia by land. Europe is a key piece in China’s grand ambitions and China has been significantly expanding its economic footprint in Europe.

So much so that it has led the EU to devise a counter-strategy in order to prevent the creation of political and financial dependencies. I’m Kasim, welcome to KJ Vids and in this video we take a look at China’s investments in Europe.

Meng Wanzhou, the CFO of Huawei, one of China's largest companies has been arrested in Canada, at the request of the United States. This really kicks things up to the next level, and it's a pretty terrible idea.

Most people have never heard of rare earths elements, often simply called REE, but these group of metals are essential for the high-tech industry and therefore they play a pivotal role in the contemporary economy. Daily products like smartphones and computers all contain rare earths, but they are also present in in green power generators like wind turbines, in medical devices and in military hardware.

Low-cost manufacturing has run its course. Now Beijing wants to transition into a modernized economy like Germany and Japan.

Like to share. A recent history of China.




Why China is on the rise

The rise of Xi Jinping to supreme leadership may explain the recent and dramatic shift against China on the part of the Learned Elders of Wye. Given its proven value as a predictive model, the entire Wikileaks report on Xi by an academic acquaintance from his youth is well worth reading.

23. Xi knows how very corrupt China is and is repulsed by the all-encompassing commercialization of Chinese society, with its attendant nouveau riche, official corruption, loss of values, dignity, and self-respect, and such "moral evils" as drugs and prostitution, the professor stated. The professor speculated that if Xi were to become the Party General Secretary, he would likely aggressively attempt to address these evils, perhaps at the expense of the new moneyed class.

And that is exactly what Xi has done, with a serious commitment to an anti-corruption campaign that has taken many by surprise. It may astonish Western readers to know that the Chinese government is now extremely popular with the people. Unlike the Western countries, in which various corporations and other organizations are reliably deemed to big to fail - which really means they are too corrupt to be permitted to fail - Xi has led a magnificently ruthless campaign against corruption in China on a scale that is absolutely unthinkable in the West.

To put it in perspective, imagine if President Trump had had both Hilary Clinton and Bill Clinton arrested and jailed, as well as two Supreme Court justices, two-thirds of the DNC, half the RNC, and numerous FBI, CIA, and IRS employees. That's effectively what Xi has already done since 2012.

Upon taking office, Xi vowed to crack down on "tigers and flies", that is, high-level officials and local civil servants alike. Most of the officials investigated were removed from office and faced accusations of bribery and abuse of power, although the range of alleged abuses varied widely. As of 2016, the campaign has 'netted' over 120 high-ranking officials, including about a dozen high-ranking military officers, several senior executives of state-owned companies, and four national leaders. More than 100,000 people have been indicted for corruption. The campaign is part of a much wider drive to clean up malfeasance within party ranks and shore up party unity. It has become an emblematic feature of Xi Jinping's political brand.

Now THAT is what actually draining the swamp looks like. The greatest political mind of the 20th century, Lee Kuan Yew, described Xi as "a man of great breadth" and said he would "put him in the Nelson Mandela class of persons." While there are certainly reasons to doubt the assumption that the 21st century will be the Chinese century, the fact that 1.6 billion people now have a leader of this reported rectitude and capability should not be discounted.

I've admired Xi since he publicly shot down Mark Zuckerberg's public attempt to put him on the spot by asking Xi to name his child in 2015. This is clearly not a man who permits himself to be manipulated by anyone, for any reason.

The blessings of free trade

It's interesting to see that the West is suddenly discovering the intrinsic dangers of free trade when it is China providing services to other nations:

China could shut off the Philippines' power grid at will, a report has warned - highlighting fears about Beijing's role in infrastructure around the world. A report for Philippine lawmakers found that the country's national security 'is completely compromised' by China's access to the power grid.

Chinese engineers have exclusive access to parts of the system and could shut it down remotely, the report seen by CNN reveals. The findings will spark alarm in the West where China is helping to build a new nuclear power station in the UK and has already faced sanctions from the US.

But why would this cause any problems? Surely the New Filipinos who happen to be of Chinese descent love their new country and are just as Filipino as those whose great-great-grandparents were born in Manila are!

Paper nationalism is, and has always been, a shameless lie told by immigrants to advantage themselves vis-a-vis the native populations.

And who cares if China can shut off the Philippines' power grid anyhow. The important thing is that the arrangement is more economically efficient, right? And nothing is more important than economic efficiency!

Tibet is China's ticket to hegemony, control water, control the destiny of other states.

I remember a few years back someone told me, if we had a war with China, we'd be screwed since everything is made in China.
I actually remember a time when there was not that many products in the market - computers and accessories, phones, gadgets, modems and stuffs, made in China.
That's what he meant, with so many of these products made in China, they can literally send some kind of electromagnetic wave or something, and these products will be totally fried.
Imagine if these are parts of airplanes, cars, computers...
This goes for any country, not just China, but these days they make pretty much everything and trade globally

China’s predicted to be the largest economy by 2050. Overtaking the advanced economies. Not surprising at all by the way it almost has a comparative advantage in everything it does.

I'm not sure what specific "trillion dollar plan" you're referring to, as there have been many initiatives and investments made by the Chinese government aimed at strengthening the country's position in global trade. However, I can provide some general information about China's efforts in this area.

China is one of the world's largest trading nations and has been actively working to increase its global trade presence. This has included investments in infrastructure, such as ports and transportation networks, as well as efforts to expand and improve the country's manufacturing sector. The Belt and Road Initiative, also known as the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, is one of the most notable efforts in this regard. It is a massive infrastructure and investment project aimed at connecting countries across Asia, Europe, and Africa through a network of roads, railways, ports, and other infrastructure projects. The goal of the initiative is to increase economic development and trade among the participating countries, with China at the center of the network.

While the Belt and Road Initiative has been criticized for some of its practices and outcomes, it has also been praised for its potential to drive economic growth and trade. However, its true impact on China's position in global trade remains to be seen.
