My wife is Chinese. Since information is so censored in China she never got an idea of how "evil" (for lack of better word) the Chinese Communist Party is.
But with all of the flooding in China, she's been shocked by how bad it is in China. The communist party did nothing to help people from stopping the flooding, and then it's been literally hiding the bodies. And then it's been mercilessly cracking down on anyone trying to report about it.
My wife has been hooked on her cellphone for the last week watching all of the news with the shocked expression of "I had no idea it was this bad, i'm ashamed to be Chinese".

Tell her she shouldn't be ashamed of her heritage! Tell her she should love and appreciate her heritage. The evil government does not equal the entirety of chinese culture and history.
I legitimately feel bad for the chinese people,
They were literally put through hell last year, partly due to their government's sheer incompetance
We read Gladys Aylward (sp?) in our homeschool class. She was a missionary to China. We've also read that the secret Christian church in China is devoted even though they are persecuted and have to hide to gather and read their bibles.
I love china. Was there over a decade ago, before it got too bad with the CCP crushing opinions. The locals are such wonderful, wonderful people. My heart truly breaks when I see government officials intentionally flooding cities and fields to spare themselves, and not alerting the locals so the government doesn't have to pay them insurance. I truly hate the CCP. But I love the Chinese people, their history, art, different provinces, food, architecture, etc. Imagine if the gospel could spread there and they were democratic capitalists. They'd be such a powerful ally and a force for good in the world.
The whole thing seems to a cluster fuck. The local officials need to get approval from the CCP to do anything. And then when everything goes wrong, no one wants to take the blame.
A good reminder for all of us. No heritage is without somebody or some group that's an embarrassment.
I tell her that we (Americans) don"t see the Chinese people and the Communist Party as the same thing. The Communist Party is an entity that acts in its own self interest separate from the people of China.
She's been fed a ton of propaganda that the Communist Party and Chinese People are one and the same.
It’s crazy all the crap they’ve been doing to Laowhy. I’m glad he was able to get the hell out of there🤯
The story of how he had to escape from China though Hong Kong was pretty nuts. Good thing he left when he did. With Hong Kong under Chinese rule, I don't think that option would be available now.
God is releasing his wrath
Either that or the rumor is this could be directed weather weapons by the American military. I think if Trump comes back into the office, then it will be known that both the wu-flu and election rigging were done by China, which is basically a declaration of war. Which is why the military needs to shutdown China's ability to fight a hot war.
Watch the water
She shouldn't be ashamed to be Chinese! It is not the Chinese people who are at fault!
You can’t trust anything coming out of China.
Mistrust and Verify.
Remember people falling over dead from covid? Didn’t happen anywhere else…
In this case it's a little different fro the wu-flu. There's thousands of cell phone videos coming out from citizens that's being collected and put together by foreign media. The Chinese government is actively trying to shut down any and all reporting on the floods to be able to say, "it was just a little rain".
87,000 dams in China are not only meant for hydroelectric power but also to control water to other Southeast Asian countries. Water is power in many ways. Now their shoddy workmanship is coming back to haunt them and the Chinese people will pay for it in more ways than one.

Yeah, everything is about appearance. China looks like a super power, but there's no sewage, no drainage. Huge building fall apart in a few years, there are blackouts, and none of the plumbing ever works. Everyone seems to be focused on doing the least amount of work possible so they can pocket the difference.
I know an engineer, well accomplished with multiple inventions and patents, who has been doing business and traveling in China off and on for over 30 years. He told me the chinese are very low skilled in anything engineering, says a 2 year US community college student can out perform any experienced chinese, says they are lost. Anything good is stolen. He has 14 cases in litigation around IP and patent infringement.
I joke with my wife about this a lot. "You guys go to school and study from dawn until night, and then you just end up copying us anyways". She's come to realize that Chinese education, is about wasting people's time with busy work to create peons who cannot challenge authority.
Many dams were built under Mao and with no standards. The USSR couldn’t keep up with the west, Reagan’s SDI and broke apart. China will fall under its own weight and corruption and I hope soon for the sake of her people who have never known freedom.
The govt is the enemy of its ppl. Sge should be proud of her heritage!
The good hard-working people of China, who are exploited and abused, deserve freedom! Pray for them.
I believe it was this video https://youtu.be/b0OUORb0Odo They had a clip about the floods and how locals had worked days to stop them and the government came in and broke it.
Congratulations mixed with condolences on the hard pill
I couldn't believe it when I saw that video (and neither could my wife). https://youtu.be/_jRco70pl90?t=60 The villagers are packing sandbags against the river bank to try and avoid having the flood waters come in, and the government sends a freaking excavator to let the flood waters in. I really don't know what kind of fucked up psychopath you have to be to do that kind of thing.
Maybe the CCP thinks there are too many people in China and is practicing Depopulation.
That's definitely a possibility. But man, that is a dick move.
It's more probable it's a dick move. Just like killing people with the jab.
I read at one point, China recently released water from a dam to lessen the pressure in the dam. They didn't warn villagers downstream. Many were drowned while they slept. But there is no recourse. It's Communism.
Also, 10,000 people died in one night at Tienanmen Square. The CCP flattened the dead bodies, set them on fire, and hosed the ashes down the sewer.
I've been two or three times. I really wouldn't want to go back right now. Not to mention all of the covid airline bullshit atm.
