Wuhan virus may bring down CCP and Xi Jinping.

I know. It is difficult to envisage the CCP collapsing as there is almost no alternative to China's single party system. Xi currently is as powerful as Mao was. But this Wuhan mess may create another mess; what if Xi had to unleash another "cultural revolution" just as Mao did when challenged.

The Taiwanese tabloid news say that the covid-19 virus was unleashed by agent from Jiang zhemin's gang. Wuhan was formerly managed by a loyal follower of the Jiang gang until he was locked up by Xi in his anti corruption crackdown in 2012.

Would love him to end up like Ceausescu: fast trial, taken to Tiananmen Square and then shot by a firing squad in front of the media.

Don't forget his deputy Wang Qishan. And some other high-ranking ones. The non-CCP China must not allow them to live. Consider it as turning a fresh page in China's history.

You know how powerful Xi is? He dared to jail for life Zhou Yongkang, one of the 9 members in Hu Jintao's politburo standing committee, a cabinet member in charge of the country's security apparatus - police, CIA, ...Bo Xilai was only a protege of Zhou. Bo cannot ever be a leader of China because he divorced his first wife only after four years of marriage to marry Gu Kailai. Gu was found to have committed murder; this charge is not something trumped up by Xi. So no way Bo Xilai would have any more history in China.

Furthermore, Xi made a true "rejuvenation" of the PLA. Even top generals were jailed for corruptions; again these are not made up political cases. So Xi has really consolidated great power to himself. If such a figure were to fall, history shows it would occur only after great chaos in the country.

Only Allah knows best.

And only Allah knows best whether Einstein was a genius.

I call this real conspiracy theory - too far fetched. I do also view some of the news from these Taiwan tabloid - aka "Ba Qua" media. We do get some tips and maybe true facts. But the presenters all have low "quality" - cannot speak well!

That means military does not cooperate with the leadership or mass resignation. They don't take up guns. They just resign or not cooperating.

If there's a push for independence there will be a referendum.

But those ethnic minority 'autonomous' regions will break away.

Commentary: Macau, China’s other One Country, Two Systems model, seems to be working just fine
The Hong Kong protests have raised questions about the model’s viability but Macau’s success suggests it works well, says the East Asian Institute’s Yu Hong.

SINGAPORE: In December 2019, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Macau to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its return to China.

President Xi lauded the former Portuguese colony’s achievements and progress, declaring that the island’s transformation since its return to the motherland highlighted the “viability and strength” of the “One Country, Two Systems” model.

A constitutional framework established by the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping in the early 1980s, the One Country, Two Systems model aims to provide political coverage for the peaceful return of colonial territories, namely Hong Kong and Macau, to China and space for adjustment.

READ: China won't allow foreign forces to interfere in Hong Kong, Macau: Xi
As Special Administrative Regions, Hong Kong and Macau would retain a high degree of autonomy, holding executive, legislative and judicial powers, but accept China’s sovereignty over matters such as foreign affairs and defence, for 50 years.

In Macau, the chief executive is chosen by a 400-strong committee comprising of business, political and societal leaders, approved by Beijing – a similar arrangement to Hong Kong’s.

THE HONG KONG PROTESTS AND MACAU

However, the Hong Kong protests since June 2019 have brought into sharper focus questions about this model of governance.

What began as a protest against a proposed law that could allow extradition to China soon ballooned into mass demonstrations and a wider call for other political freedoms, which many Hong Kongers see as their unique core values.

READ: Commentary: This may be the end of Hong Kong as we know it
The resulting violence has been unprecedented. It has created the biggest governance crisis ever faced by the Hong Kong government since the territory’s handover to China in 1997.

At its heart are questions about a political system that sees the Chief Executive selected by political, business and societal leaders rather than Hong Kongers. But observers have also pointed to Hong Kong’s housing, employment and inequality woes.

In sharp contrast, Macau has been lauded for its political stability and economic prosperity. It has escaped rather unscathed by the political divisions that have rocked Hong Kong, even though Macau is merely a one-hour ferry away ride from Hong Kong.

MACAU THE ECONOMIC GATEWAY TO PORTUGESE SPEAKING WORLD

Even before its handover in 1999 to mainland China, Macau attempted to maintain strong socioeconomic ties with the Mainland, and sustain its local economy by leveraging its role as a gateway for China to the world.

In particular, based on its historical, cultural and economic links with Portugal, Macau is keen to act as a bridge between China and Portuguese-speaking countries in Europe, Africa and Latin America.

Once a maritime hub for trade between China, Southeast Asia and Europe along the Silk Road, Macau sees a role for itself in boosting commercial and trade between China and Portuguese-speaking nations.

READ: Commentary: China dreams big with the world's longest sea bridge
It therefore established a permanent secretariat to staff the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries formed in 2003, to drive economic, commercial, cultural and educational exchanges among members, with a ministerial conference to take stock of progress every three years.

Through such platforms and other exchanges, Macau has played a critical interlocutor role, aiding Chinese firms to gain wider access to Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking markets in Latin America.

MACAU’S ECONOMY IS POWERING ON

Macau’s rapid economic growth since the 1999 handover owes in large part to the various supportive policies by Beijing, including pro-gaming policies that have transformed the city.

Macau’s gambling facilities have also played host to more tourists from Chinese cities, accounting for over 70 per cent of total visitor arrivals, after a move to relax visa requirements.

READ: Commentary: How Macau became the world's casino capital
Following Macau’s return after 1999, the Mainland and Macau Closer Economic Partnership Agreement was signed in October 2003 to allow Macau’s residents and firms to have preferential market access to mainland markets, and to support Macau’s economic development in general.

In addition, the Chinese government has leased out adjoining land on Hengqin Island in Zhuhai, Guangdong to the city, to support ambitious plans under the Greater Bay Area ambit that sees Macau focusing on tourism and trade with the Portuguese-speaking world.

The super development on Hengqin has seen the construction of business districts, education, entertainment and MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibition) spaces, including Ocean Resort, Chimelong Ocean Kingdom and the relocated University of Macau over the past five years, creating jobs and bringing a new vibrancy to Macau.

READ: Commentary: The Greater Bay Area, China's new and improved model for growth
Macau has enjoyed economic success after its return to China in 1999 and pursuit of integration with the mainland.

Home to 676,000 people, Macau’s GDP per capita is one of the highest in the world, at US$87,200 in 2018, according to the World Bank. This is almost double that of Hong Kong’s US$48,700.

The thorny issue of high youth unemployment in Hong Kong has not arisen in Macau, where the unemployment rate is low – 1.7 per cent as of November 2019.

In contrast, Hong Kong’s unrest has seen the unemployment rate creep upwards to 3.1 per cent in October 2019, with sector-specific unemployment hitting all-time highs: 5 per cent in retail, accommodation and food services combined, and 6.1 per cent in the food and beverage sector.

In addition, the housing unaffordability crisis afflicting Hong Kong has no parallels in Macau. Macau residents enjoy generous social welfare programmes often in form of cash hand-outs. Since 2008, all permanent residents receive a dividend from the Macau government every year. The payout was 10,000 MOP (US$1,245) in 2019.

POSITIVE SENTIMENTS TOWARDS CHINA

Although both former colonised territories are ruled by China now and governed under the One Country, Two Systems model, the mass protests in Hong Kong simply could not happen in Macau.

In fact, Macau public opinion may be more aligned to China’s than Hong Kong’s.

READ: Commentary: Surely separatism is not Hong Kong’s endgame?
According to the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute’s Macau Annual Survey, Macau residents have a strong sense of national identity as citizens of the People’s Republic of China.

About 72 per cent of Macau respondents say they have confidence in the One Country, Two Systems.

The same survey shows 62 per cent of Macau residents trust the Chinese central government and over 80 per cent have confidence in China’s future.

Unlike Hong Kong, patriotic education is deeply rooted in Macau kindergartens and schools. Many Macau residents share a pro-China outlook, and do not see any contradiction between a Macau identity and a Chinese identity.

MACAU: THE POSTER CHILD FOR ONE COUNTRY, TWO SYSTEMS?

To China, Macau is a glittering example of the One Country Two Systems model. As it pursues greater economic integration with China and transformation over the past decade under the Great Bay Area plans, its residents have reaped the fruits of success.

Beijing is keen to showcase the successful story of Macau and the viability of the model amid ongoing turmoil in Hong Kong and under the gaze of a watchful Taiwan, where Democratic Progressive Party leader and President Tsai Ing-Wen just won a landslide election.

READ: Commentary: Prospects for China-Taiwan unification? Hear what Taiwanese themselves say
Although it is enjoying economic success for now, Macau’s casino-dominated economic development is fragile and not sustainable in the long-run perspective.

No doubt Macau will have to restructure and diversify its economy beyond gambling, which contributes to 80 per cent of government revenue and half its GDP, if it intends to achieve greater resilience and sustainability for the future.

Tourists too have been a cause for concern in recent years. Total visitor arrivals outstripped the size of the population by 53 times higher last year, owing to the rapid increase in tourist arrivals from mainland China.

So I posted an anti-CCP video. People may think that I consider CCP bad, the authoritarian system in China bad and democracy all good. Nonsense!

Is there more free speech, etc, etc, in the US then in China? Nonsense. Why? In America, you can say Donald Trump is a crook and you don't get arrested. In China, no way for you to say Xi Jinping is a crook and be safe! But this is no criterion that there is more "freedom of speech" in America than in China. I don't mine people saying and posting Chan Rasjid is a pedophile if it hurts me nothing! My wealth speaks for me. Like Jack Ma, my net worth is 40 billion dollars and my "dollars" talks! With 40 billion dollars, do you think I spend my time paying attentions to nonsense! I only enjoy and enjoy! So in America, the government allows anyone to say anything because they have the the whole world under their grasp. If China has the whole world under its grasp, under the sway of the superiority of "Chinese culture" (中国文化) where the highest brand names are "made in China", where people of the world flock to China for higher education, Xi Jinping too can allow total free speech in China. You can talk freely anything as long as it does not matter - that is free speech. So this free speech stuffs is a reflection of the current reality due to the recent centuries in history. There is no strict absolute criterion why white people are superior to the yellow race.

China being a single party system is evil, etc... nonsense. So you think there is "democracy" in America. Nonsense! You are given two clowns to choose from in every election! Just a show of formality of a free election is not democracy. Democracy is only a system, but man is far beyond the mere restrictions set by the rules of a system. Man can set a system and man can beat the system. Remember how in India, the rapists in a case have their executions delayed and delayed. Democracy?

China, being "totalitarian" is corrupt, America is not corrupt? Nonsense. The corruption in America is open and unchallenged. The Federal Reserve Bank of America, the FED, is pure institutional corruption as the American Constitution strictly prohibits the issue of paper money as allowed under the Federal Reserve Act of 1914. Only gold is allowed as money. No America politician dares to utter a word. It is said Kennedy was assassinated because he made a speech touching on this FED issue. In China, there is no such blatant and outrages acts against the Constitution - they only change the constitution which is more "honest".

So it is nonsensical to talk democracy like these Hong Kong kids or the Tiananmen kids. They think they can run China better than Xi Jinping? Who knows?

Only Allah knows best.
