Chaos plagues China these days. According to official statistics, 200 million people are unemployed. Every two minutes, someone kills him or herself. Grievances among the citizenry have lead to a rapid increase in mass protests, which are often violent.
In addition, the environment is gravely polluted, with half of underground water undrinkable. The seven major rivers are completely polluted, and one-fifth of arable land is polluted by heavy metals.
Corruption is rife. The gap between the rich and poor is massive. China’s Gini coefficient has already reached 0.51. [The Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion commonly used to measure inequality of wealth.]
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may well collapse, but before it does, it seems as though the world has been taken hostage.
The CCP’s rule of China is a tragedy of history. The 1989 democracy movement provided the CCP with a chance to go from evil to good, but it opposed the tide of history and took the students’ demands for democracy to be a plot of hostile Western forces, part of the “peaceful evolution” theory, and claimed it was a plot to split China. The protests were ruthlessly suppressed.
The Party then sent spies to infiltrate the democracy movement in exile, utterly undermining its integrity. Through threats and bribes, democracy activists were demoralized and divided, and the regime’s spies and agents-of-influence put down roots.
The CCP has also destroyed religious culture, destroyed the Chinese ecology, plundered natural resources, and aroused deep resistance and resentment from the peoples of Tibet and Xinjiang.
In the latter case, this resistance was used by the CCP to fool Chinese people. Under the banner of “opposing splittism,” the CCP carried out massacres in Tibet and Xinjiang.
The Party also made a premeditated effort to incite racist attitudes in Han Chinese in an attempt to transfer resentment that would otherwise be directed at government officials.
