Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire One thing the Chinese do right..

Wife was watching some Mainland China news yesterday on YouTube. I noticed a guy without a mask between two cops with masks in a courtroom and asked what was going on. Turns out he’s a government official convicted of taking bribes, and is gonna get a bullet for his efforts.

I told her if they did that in Washington, the place would be a ghost town….

Was he actually guilty or ”just in the way”? China has a way of discarding dissidents.

Pretty sure he was just a crook. He worked in Inner Mongolia.

Gotta really be greedy to take that chance there, given the penalty. Xi started cracking down on that a while back. I’ve noticed a trend in their tv shows disapproving of that: main characters refusing to take even small “considerations” from business associates and government types practically running away from them. They’re serious about it.

There’s very little on their entertainment tv that I’d characterize as promoting Communism, but a lot about obeying the law, justice, and loyalty to friends and family. The historical dramas about the WWII era with the Reds and Nationalists against the Japanese and each other are pretty good. Lots of action, sabotage, assassination, and blowing schitt up. Production values are pretty high. Great costumes and sets, lots of evil Japanese of course! Series often run to 40-50 episodes. Sitcoms and chick shows are just about as bad as the ones here.

Dang, I thought there'd be a Kung Pao chicken recipe.

Look into the former mayor of Chengdu.

The Chinese know all too well how political corruption is gutting this country.

I'm serious, I need to shoot the neighbor's cat and I hate to see anything go to waste.

Don't need a Chinese recipe for that...

Not the shooting part, just to convert it to Kung Pao chicken.

Step 1: Google Kung pao recipe

Step 2: sub cat for chicken

Lol

Step 3: Invite those neighbors over for dinner just to see the look on their faces when you tell them.......

Tastes fine...they wouldn't know the difference.

Anyone who doubts Xi Jinping’s power only needs to look at the anti corruption campaign to dispel doubts. The campaign is and has been real and it has ended a lot of mid to high party officials lives. The fact that Xi Jinping has survived is a testament to his ability to lead. I hate the totalitarianism that he represents but I admire his extraordinary leadership skill.

If Xi Jinping is able to end the culture of corruption or even significantly lower it he will go down as the greatest leader in Chinese history imo. Personally I think he will only temporarily suppressed the corruption and corruption will spring back as strong as ever when he’s gone.

Im more worried about our .gov than China's.we need to clean up our system of corruption.

I am of the opinion that corruption is embedded in the Chinese genetic code. A friend with almost 25 yrs in China overseeing the installation of telecom systems, with a Chinese wife, has said so repeatedly with his wife concurring. The western mind cannot fathom the depth of corruption in every walk of Chinese govt, business and military. Xi has moved a grain of sand...in the Sahara.

Assange said when the truth comes out, 98% of DC will fall.

Assange will soon be here testifying.

Probably the truth and the reason the Chinese haven’t ruled the world for the last 2000 years.

It will take the Military. It will be done.

I'm thinking Xi and the Nationalists in Chyna are in the process of destroying the CCP.

My friend and brother moved to Viet Nam a few years ago to finish out his days. We messaged back and forth almost daily. The Viet gov has been intent on stamping out corruption for some time now. Many officials having their necks stretched out a bit. Badly needed here.
