Beijing has invested billions of dollars to construct an information ecosystem in which PRC propaganda and disinformation gain traction and become dominant. The PRC’s approach features five primary elements: leveraging propaganda and censorship, promoting digital authoritarianism, exploiting international organizations and bilateral partnerships, pairing cooptation and pressure, and exercising control of Chinese-language media. Together, these five mutually reinforcing elements enable Beijing to exert control over the narratives in the global information space through advancing false or biased pro-PRC content and suppressing critical voices.
Long range planning.
We go a tear and a half between elections.
How could we fail?

“There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.”
- Sun Tzu
China’s grand strategy to take its turn at dominance over the global scene depends on bogging down the USA in four wars at once.
How’s it working so far? Pretty darn well.
Amazingly, China hardly had to lift a finger to make it happen - though it did write some bank checks to the soulless old grifter sitting in the White House. Our country has arranged its collapse and downfall masterfully on its own."

Chinese ownership of U.S. farmland is soaring. As is total foreign ownership:
"Foreign investors own 37.6 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, which is 2.9% of all privately held agricultural land and 1.7% of all U.S. land." (Source: USDA)
Thing is: the way the federal gvmt tracks land (or doesn't) makes it difficult to say exactly how much land is owned by foreign natls.

"Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen may have been tripping balls when she fervently bowed before a Chinese official last week, after the 76-year-old ate four portions of jian shou qing, a type of wild mushroom with unpredictable psychedelic effects."
Nice. Hallucinations and actually go a lo g ways to explain the current state of U.S. monetary policy.
Oh, and kow-towing to foreign powers? Check.
"Janet Yellen keeps bowing repeatedly to the Chinese vice premier, who does not reciprocate even once. What an anti-American disgrace this administration is."
When I first saw footage of the meetings on Newsmax, I think it was Rob Carson's show, I kept wondering what was wrong with her bowing deeply so many times with no return gesture. Pretty much thought that is either a very bad or an extremely bad sign. Figured that she was either clueless, drunk, or kept forgetting that she had already just bowed. Totally cringed at the unhidden disdainful and unimpressed look given to her by the commie bureaucrat.
The news of the Information, Over Electrification, and other overload plans serves as a reminder to us all to have both an individual personal or family plan as well as to work together towards a common goal. As our fearless leaders now seem to be scared, we will have to have good people without mush for brains who know how to handle their business first and trip balls later on single doses max while overseas in enemy territory.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Security Intelligence Service determined that one of two scientists fired from Canada’s most secure microbiology lab worked closely and covertly with Chinese government labs and collaborated with “institutions whose goals have potentially lethal military applications.”
...
“The Service assess that Ms. Qiu developed deep, cooperative relationships with a variety of People’s Republic of China institutions and has intentionally transferred scientific knowledge and materials to China in order to benefit the PRC government,” reads a letter from January 2021 recommending her security clearance be revoked.
CSIS discovered Qiu had applied for and likely received a position under China’s Thousand Talents Program, a government sponsored program to recruit Chinese experts, which also allows them to keep jobs in Western countries.
Qiu’s position came through the Wuhan Institute of Virology and CSIS determined that the Thousand Talents Program offers researchers up to $1 million in research subsidies and better access to visas and Chinese health care.

Video and audio is quite glitchy in key segments. Suspicious.
A lot of this information came out at the onset of the 'event'. I saw it. In the flood of (dis)information gushing forth from the gov't and MSM it was quickly hidden or vociferously denied as 'conspiracy theory' quackery.

How about it guys? Ready for your weekly trip to HF?
"Americans paid a high price for cheap imports. Unable to compete against cheap Chinese imports, many U.S. manufacturers were forced to relocate their factories to China or Mexico and shut down operations in the U.S. for good. At least 2.4 million good-paying manufacturing jobs in the U.S. were lost during the process. Economists labeled all these adverse effects on the U.S. economy as “the China Shock,”..."
Get ready for China Shock 2.0! (maybe Boeing could build in.... nyahhh!)
"Xi has resorted to China’s old playbook to stimulate the economy — subsidizing the manufacturing sector and incentivizing exports — hoping to export China’s way out of this slump. It was what China did in the early 2000s after joining the World Trade Organization (WTO). China quickly became a trade powerhouse with an ample supply of low-wage labor, undervalued currency..."
China's capacity for overproduction, which is so large it could even kill their own companies, and is causing a backlash from world markets.
"If China keeps its current pace of exporting, it will not only drive non-Chinese solar panel producers out of business but also “force Chinese suppliers themselves out of the market” in the end. No wonder governments worldwide, including both developed and developing nations, have reportedly already taken more than 70 import-related measures targeting China, including launching antidumping investigations and imposing tariffs on Chinese goods."
