This
is a bit of doom saying operating in an information vacuum and is not truly
useful. What is true is that the lower
tier of Chinese political life is becoming uncomfortable as well it
should. Yet this is easily discharged by
the simple expedient of providing local elected authority to these communities
and allowing for inevitable local oversight.
It
is also timely. Reform at the top has
begun with the new regime in charge and a thorough housecleaning should
ensue. Having the people sort out the
lower tier of national life is good at this time. Once that is done, and it may take a
generation, it will easy to transition then into a multistate, multilayered
electoral system as good as any created.
I
see no point interpreting all this in the light of the Paris commune.
Major
Publication in China Predicts That The Communist Regime Will Collapse by 2016
Despite the praise of
China’s development in the global media there are many indications that the
current regime is on its way out

According to the Hong
Kong magazine Frontline, a Chinese political news source, the Chinese Communist
Party will collapse entirely by 2016. According to the report, this
collapse will be triggered by the reverse in cash flow that is currently taking
place in the country, with large sums of money actually now moving out of
China.
If this truly is the
case it could be entirely possible that China is just the next stop on the
central banking looting spree. Regardless of the background politics at
play, there are many indications that China will be going down with the US
Dollar, the Euro and the rest of the world economy.
Of all the challenges
facing China the most dangerous three are the real estate bubble, shadow
banking, and local government debts, because of how pervasive and large-scale
they are, says Dr. Frank Tian Xie, a business professor at the University of
South Carolina Aiken.
It is important to
remember that a collapse isn’t always a bad thing, sometimes this is just what
the people need in order to topple an authoritarian regime. This
situation gives the general population an upper hand that they wouldn’t usually
have. Also many times the population needs to see a regime fail, in order to
cut through the propaganda so they can understand that they are are being
oppressed. The report also mentions that corruption will play a vital
role in this collapse, which again ties in with the idea that maybe the people
will be better off without the current power structure.
Although it has been
unreported in the media China has been experiencing large strings of protests,
riots and revolts. China may have a reputation for being the
home of some extremely obedient people, but many westerners would be surprised
to believe that there is far more defiance and resistance in a place like China
than there is in the United States.
Earlier
this year thousands of people
revolted in China smashing police cars and overturning police vans,
after a checkpoint caused an accident and the ambulance took over an hour to
arrive.
From all accounts it
seems that the local police had some sort of racket going on, and were stopping
citizens to make sure all of their papers were up to code.
It has even been
suggested that these police were forcing fake registrations on the people to
collect extra loot on top of their already astronomical pay from the state.
When a car tried to run
away from one of these checkpoints to protect themselves from the police, they
were chased until a crash occurred.
After the crash
onlookers gathered and many called for an ambulance, but for over an hour there
was no response.
What has obviously
happened here is that the onlookers saw that one of their neighbors was being
attacked by the state, and they rushed to that neighbor’s defense.
In areas as repressive
as China the tempers of the people are always just below the boiling point,
waiting for something like this to happen at any moment.
Last year in China one
family actually refused to leave their house when they were told to move so a
road could be built through their property. In response the government
surrounded their house with a highway and threatened to tear it down until they
eventually gave in. Now many residents living in areas that face similar
problems are beginning to fight back against this land theft, and share their
stories with the world.
There have been many
other circumstances where villagers have fought back against having their land
seized through imminent domain.
A mass protest by villagers in the south-central province of Hunan
is the latest of several similar incidents drawing attention to land acquisitions
for development projects being exploited by communist officials.
More than a thousand Hui Muslims from Pingfeng Village, Shaoyang
City, protested in front of the municipal government building on Feb. 25,
demanding that authorities hold the relevant officials accountable for a recent
land acquisition during which villagers were attacked with batons.
One of the villagers, Mrs. Ma, told The Epoch Times that the
protesters held up banners and photos taken of the villagers being beaten. “We
waited for over an hour and no officials came out to meet us, so we went into
the office building and were met by at least a hundred police. Then finally an
official came out to meet us.”
The protestors stated that the land was forcibly taken, and more
than a dozen people were injured. Supported by the villagers, the families of
the victims demanded that the municipal government investigate the local law
enforcement department and punish the perpetrators. However, they were told to
wait for the outcome of the government’s investigation.
According to Mrs. Ma,
the beatings occurred on the morning of Jan. 10, when over a hundred Shuangqing
District government staff members, policemen, and urban management officers
arrived in police vehicles, and commenced a hostile land acquisition. “They came to the village and beat whoever
spoke up with police batons, injuring 14 people; seven were even hospitalized,” she
said.
In addition to the
political and economic concerns that come along with communism, there are also
issues with the massive amounts of pollution, censorship and many other issues
surrounding the ever present police state. All these factors and more
could play a role in the demise of the current Chinese regime, and this is
actually a possibility that is more realistic than most people think.
