And since Emperor Winnie the Flu is now at God-like status like Mao was during the Cultural Revolution. . .

Just wait. News is they are trying to trot out communal canteens for people to eat similar to the Great Leap Forward. Last time they did that, 40 million people starved to death.

Dying housing market
Economics in death spirals
Losing foreign investment
Banking crisis
Industry at a standstill
Products not being moved
A youth unemployment crisis where young people have decided to "let it rot"

Small protests are popping up everywhere and people are beginning. Banner Man in Beijing, riots in Guangzhou, protests in Zhengzhou, anger in Shanghai.

The grip on power is tenuous right now as people are beginning to stand up.

What I know about the place I live is the Chinese people wait the long game. It's beginning, but it will be slow. People aren't at that point yet.
