By George Soros
Xi Jinping, the ruler of China, suffers from several internal inconsistencies which greatly reduce the cohesion and effectiveness of his leadership. There is a conflict between his beliefs and his actions and between his public declarations of wanting to make China a superpower and his behavior as a domestic ruler. These internal contradictions have revealed themselves in the context of the growing conflict between the U.S. and China.


At the heart of this conflict is the reality that the two nations represent systems of governance that are diametrically opposed. The U.S. stands for a democratic, open society in which the role of the government is to protect the freedom of the individual. Mr. Xi believes Mao Zedong invented a superior form of organization, which he is carrying on: a totalitarian closed society in which the individual is subordinated to the one-party state. It is superior, in this view, because it is more disciplined, stronger and therefore bound to prevail in a contest.


Relations between China and the U.S. are rapidly deteriorating and may lead to war. Mr. Xi has made clear that he intends to take possession of Taiwan within the next decade, and he is increasing China’s military capacity accordingly.


He also faces an important domestic hurdle in 2022, when he intends to break the established system of succession to remain president for life. He feels that he needs at least another decade to concentrate the power of the one-party state and its military in his own hands. He knows that his plan has many enemies and he wants to make sure they won’t have the capacity to resist him.


It is against this backdrop that the current turmoil in the financial markets is unfolding, catching many people off guard and puzzling them. The confusion compounded the agitation.

Pathetic mental case.

Don't think it matters. Yakusuni shrine is off limit and ignorance wouldn't make a difference. Not many people can have a wedding at Nogi Shrine or choose to have a wedding at Nogi Shrine. Many Japanese celebrities would avoid both Nogi and Yakusuni Shrine due to the controversy. Having a wedding at Nogi Shrine means the groom at least is right wing Japanese.

In addition, Zhang has visited the Yakusuni shrine three times. Not one but three times, why would anyone visit a shrine for three times. I think the answer is quite clearly and it isn't ignorance. Zhang Zhehan clearly knew what he was doing.
Yeah it's looking worse and worse for him especially if it's multiple times. But I don't think I agree that yakusuni shrine is totally off limits. Not saying for his case but I feel if a Chinese or Korean is there to find out facts and verify the truth for himself it's acceptable. After all if one wanted to criticize a movie and make your case it's best you actually watch the movie itself. He doesn't need to publicise it or worse take pose for photos. It's also good if he can relate his experience to other Chinese and tell them the horrors displayed inside using his popularity and clout among his fans. Obviously this was not what he was doing. And we agree it's career suicide for him as he see before our eyes he is being boycotted left and right as he should be

Thanks for this.

I say his friends are very suspicious too maybe even more than him. I mean they are suss but his friends definitely are shitty too.


His family isn't looking good too as netizens dig up other stuff

"China is prepared to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate ruler of Afghanistan if it succeeds in toppling the Western-backed government in Kabul, U.S. News has learned, a prospect that undercuts the Biden administration's remaining source of leverage over the insurgent network as it continues its startling campaign to regain control."


Music to my ears.

Guess there might be some merit to the allegation that the afghan government had something to do with the murders of Chinese engineers in Pakistan last month
