Only the ordinary people will put the people first, the elites never will, regardless of ideology.
China is a problem because it threatens our freedom and standard of living, but the root problem are ourl political, economic and academic elites.
The CCP is in the hands of psychopaths. The persecution of Falun Gong and others show ir.
I do not exoect much from the CCP but I expect more from people in democracies, like Elon Musk, the self proclaimed free speech absolutist who absolutely shows no concern for the lack of free soeech in China, the internment of dissidents and even making them disappear, the jailing and oppresion of the Chinese people and using them to oppress the Uyghurs and the Tibetans.
To that we can add the deadly threat of taking Taiwan by force and dismantling its democracy and eliminating their free speech.
Not only that, Elon Musks supports the CCP take over of Taiwan.
Elon Musk is not only a supporter of the CCP, he has helped the CCP with its investments in China and massive technology transfer to China, by making Teslas in China and training Chinese suppliers of Tesla to master the technogy of all the parts and systems that go in a Tesla.
This technology transfer is 10 times worse than any theft by Israeli spies of American nuclear and orher technologies.
After all, the Jews steal the technogy to make sure tiny Israel survives, China wants to dominate the World and their first goal is to undermine and if possible destroy the US, the West and Japan.
They deeply resent them because they proved the belief of too many Chinese deranged by CCP propaganda, much like so many Imans derange Moslems with hate of the West. The hard honest, evident, truth is that without Western science and technology the Chinese and the Moslems would not know the flushing toilet, computers, electricity, airplanes, antibiotics, automobiles, the lightbulb, water treatment, air conditioning, x rays, refrgerators, tha gas anf diesel engines, modern surgery, that men can reach the moon, radar, radio, TV, mobile phones, steam engine, steel, modern sports, music recording, movies and on and on.
Were it not for the West, Chinese, Moslems and many others would still be in the Middle Ages or not even there. But, irrationally, they resent the West.
But it is not only Musk, people running Toyota, VW, Apple and all other companies with modern factories in China are working against their own countries because, as the Americans proved in WW 2, to defeat the enemy the decisive factor is industrial capacity. Industrial capacity can be converted to weapons and military machinery and systems and overwhelm the enemy.
But the worse culprits are jerks like Nixon and Kissinger, the creepy duo who opened the markets of the West to China and the CCP.
What they should have done if they had common sense is tell the CCP: ” we will open markets and transfer science and technology to China if the CCP dissolves itself and China becomes a democracy like Taiwan”.
Unfortunately, Western leaders, who depend on big money for party financing and big jobs after politics, also did what Nixon did and all US leaders after Nixon did, the same thing; open markets and massive investments in China under the CCP.
The big Western companies who care only about profits and not their countries have been very happy with the arrangement.
This is why; as long as the company makes more money they do not care where they have to make or buy the products.
To them phones, cars, vacuum cleaners, flashlights, shoes, motors, etc., must be made wherever they are cheaper, it does not matter if it is made in China by manufacturing serfs or in Detroit by people making decent wages and free.
As long as Toyota, GM, Apple, Tesla, Walmart, etc., make more money the shareholders are happy and the executives will collect even bigger salaries and benefits.
Only ordinary people can put a stop to this. They have to take to the streets and put Americans, Germans and the rest first.
The first step, the only step, necessary to right our countries is to demand that the people be the final decision makers on any issue the people decide it must go to a binding referendum.
Only the majority of ordinary people are in a position to decide thinking of the collective good in the present and for the future.
How do I know that?, easy, just look up the Swiss political system and you will see why the Swiss are not in the social, political, monetary and economic mess the others are.
Our elites have become corrupt because the people do not have real power to control them.
The free coountries need resetting and reenergizing, “the Swiss amendment to constitutions” does the trick.
Only the people can put the people first, not the Left, not the Right, not Republicans, not Democrats, not Conservatives, not Progressives, not Environmentalists, not Industrialists, not Liberals, not Communists, not Fascists, not Trump, not Obama, not Biden, not Merkel, not Von der Leyen, not Starmer, not Farage, not Schultz, not Meloni, not Orban, not Takaichi, not Albanese, not Lula, not Milei, not Trudeau, not Carney, nobody, only the people with Swiss style democracy will fix the countries.
Of course Putin and Xi are worse, they are abominations, they are not for the people first, they are for themselves and the corrupt system. The Moslem leaders are like them.
Our academic and media elites contribute to the problem because they are elitists too, they think most people are dumb because they do not write books and articles or are TV talking heads.
Stop complaining and take the future of your country in your arms. People on Left, Right and Center are on the same boat and must row together on this issue.
