It's is also an internal struggle because people are struggling especially after covid hit the country, foreign corporations are controlling large parts of the oil and gas industry, same applies to minerals. Communist and socialist parties are banned (!) workers unions are oppressed and a forced de-Russification effort is going on especially after converting Kazakh language writing to the latin alphabet. Despite 10% of population being Russian and of the many Kazakhi tribes that have Cyrillic writing for their native languages. The situation is complex

I've seen numerous communist parties publish news articles (KKE, KPRF, etc) supporting these protests. Where are these parties getting their information from and how can they be so sure it's not another Maidan? I'd like to get my news from the same place they are getting it from.

Like I said or have expressed on a couple of my posts. NGO's that are in the county have done a stupendous job in cultivating the counter narrative that created the environment ripe enough for people to be aggrieved and cause this strife. Coupled that with the sheer lunacy and corruption of the preceding and succeeding government and you have created the perfect molotov that have ignited the volatie situation in Kazakhstan.

NGO's must all be rooted out because I can think of no other country where an NGO who's sole and mission objectives most often than not countermanned and works opposite every countries sovereign objectives. They do nothing but sow and create decisions. The freedom and democratization are just buzzwords created to ensure that American and western corporations can come in untouched, with unfettered access to the countries minerals and resources.

The entire west then collectively rewards the sell outs, the Quislings, the Benedict Arnold's, the Hanjians/Wang Jingweis, with Human rights awards, Nobel Peace Prize, honorary doctorates from prestigious western universities, not to mention providing these surrender apes with board seats, concert tickets, sports etc...ensuring their kids will reap the rewards by being accepted in their universities etc..

The appeal to sell out one's country is very strong and intoxicating. The Americans and the west have mastered the psychological weaknesses of people regardless of your race or ethnicity. We all deep down at our core desire the almost the same things. Money, power, sex, fame, recognition, influence.

The Chinese maybe able to churn out gazillion of STEM students more than the collective west but China is easily beaten asymmetrically by the collective west through it's mass graduates of Liberal Arts that dabble in propaganda, psychological warfare students of the SJW variety, the right wing libertarian nut jobs etc..can all coaxed any Chinese individuals that have their own overriding ambitions unhindered by their love of country. With a pop of 1.4 Billion there bound to have a sizable defectors and that's just a given.

That is why neutralizing internal enemies is of the utmost priority.

I am no expert with respect to certain capabilities of any one's countries military but I must say I like the look of Taiwanese military uniform and I quite prefer the looks it conveys better than their PLA counterparts. I don't know if the soldiers on this clip are part of a special group/forces but they seem to look more "polished" and "professional" not to mention that they look a more competent force because to my eyes they appear with a certain command attention (their vest looks thicker/more protection compared to the PLA) compared to the PLA minus the PAP. Am I talking out of my a...or what.

I’m pretty sure a combat doesn’t give a damn what you look like! And, from the little I saw of that training video they violated one cardinal rule of urban combat (at least from my USMC urban combat training) and that was bunching up close-together outside of that doorway and making themselves a perfect target for a single hand grenade.

Was the corruption this bad in China pre-Xi? Holy s..t, if even half of what was expressed on this Twitter feed is true then no wonder the CPC was about to discombobulate, disintegrate, and ultimately die from within.

I hope the system is able to select another Xi like leader(s) so that the country wouldn't succumb to the sets of circumstances that ended prior dynasties. The mission of the party must never be set aside for the greed and ambitions of stupid people. Otherwise, what's the point in all of the struggle, sacrifice when at the end all will be turned asunder by the scoundrels and avarice of the eternal idiots.

A bit on the topic of Kazakhstan if people are still interested:

After talking to some acquaintances from Kazakhstan, it seems that those riots could very well be more of an internal power struggle between Tokaev (current president) and Nazarbaev (ex-president, who created a special post for himself called "Elbasy" which was essentially "above" president). As you know, Nazarbaev fled the country as soon as the riots in Almaty began, and Tokaev assumed the position as the head of the security council, cementing his power. Nazarbaev's loyalists in the military and police tried to obstruct Tokaev, which explains why Kazakhstan's security forces were not doing anything at the start and even went as far as to "surrender" while giving away the weapons to rioters. That is the reason why Tokaev went to CSTO to gain support and legitimacy from other countries. Seems that this has worked out well for him as rioters are getting pushed back now. Most of the shooting was between those two parties. If all of this is true, then we can expect the purges soon after the whole mess is finished as it looks like Tokaev won and basically ousted Nazarbaev & his family from power.

The Western-paid "freedom fighters" and other clowns were actually in the minority the whole time but of course, the Western media gave all the spotlight to them, lol.

I heard something very similar from a Russian friend of mine. Said that this is a power struggle and the western sided rioters were trying to take advantage of the situation. They were also the ones trying to seize the airport to prevent CSTO peacekeeping force from coming in.

Again no link, just what I heard

But aren't they getting from US marine personnel themselves?

It's no wonder the Western imperialists hate Xi Jinping so much. Their ultimate dream has always been for China to go the way of the Soviet Union: for a set of betrayers and compradors to take power, dissolve the country from within and sell the scraps for nothing to foreign capitalists. Corruption was extremely corrosive in the Soviet Union for the legitimacy of both the Party and the government and the continuity of the socialist system itself. By the late days of the USSR, the Communist Party had increasingly become a tool for a few individuals to gain power and wealth, and the CPC before Xi was unfortunately repeating the same mistakes of their Soviet counterpart in this respect.

In my view, the ongoing process of restoring discipline inside the Party and reaffirming the idea of serving the people as its ultimate goal will become one of the cornerstones that will consolidate the Chinese socialist system and make it much more resilient in the tough years ahead of this Second Cold War.

Pretty much, except there was and still is corruption within. An "ideological" corruption as well as in the more conventional sense. Maybe not certain individuals but surely some parts and corners however small.

Xi I do not know is truly the savior of the party and the nation as presented. Sure previous leaders were not given those titles or claims of purpose but each man performed a duty that was required of them in the phase of the overarching program - to restore dignity to the Chinese nation and people. This includes all the forms it can manifest and it is intentionally difficult to define. What it boils down to is really understanding a path and creating the environment to tread the path, making sure it stays on path. That is all and it cannot really be said for certain (by us) whether Xi and his predecessors truly embodied those roles and if any of them as individuals have been performing duties with incorruptible resolve.

What we can do is observe and measure. They have been doing very well. Exceedingly well and right for the people and nation. The rest is personal conjecture, speculation, conspiracy, and propaganda.

@ougoah Sir Xi doesn't compromise others do (Jiang & Hu), maybe because when he assume the Presidency and the General Secretariat he was given a free hand by the party elders to cleanse the bureaucracy and the party.
