yt: Death Surges Reach Small Cities, Rural Areas in China; China Flight Bookings Are Falling Short

Overview at the beginning of the video:

Death rates up

Flight bookings are falling short

classified documents at Biden’s office / Penn/Biden Center

Grand Jury indicts student at Berkeley in Boston

Chinese student leaves CCP to support the opposition

Not covered in the overview(or I missed it):

Some states blocking land purchases by China

US/UK supporting Japan over China

Death rates

Death rates are up as the virus hits areas that were originally untouched.

The video mentioned two incidents of new funeral homes or funeral home expansion (was this evidence? China is a big place, two (possibly small) towns are expanding capacity to handle the increase in deaths. This seemed like odd evidence to support the argument..

Other points raised:

Death toll is under reported.

Spikes after Zero COVID policy revoked

China is not providing enough information, specifically called out sharing sequences for analysis

Vaccine they are using may not be effective

The zero COVID policy has likely prevented the formation of any natural or herd immunity

Flight bookings

Flight bookings are low.

at 15% of pre-pandemic numbers

new year will likely show a rebound

but long-term, tourism will not recover for some time

Also covered in the segment on flights:

TUIDANG (quit the CCP)

Began in 2004

400 million have left CCP

Classified Documents

Documents had something to do with the Penn/Biden Center from current President Biden’s Vice Presidency.

Also mentioned during this segment, UPenn from 2014 2020 received 77 million in funding from China.

Tripled with Biden center opening

Documents may have featured “plans” for Biden after leaving office:

“wealth creation”

UPenn/Biden center job opportunity for hunter Biden

Not explicitly mentioned during the overview…

Blocking land purchases

China may not be allowed to buy more properties in Florida

6 billion in purchased land between March 2021 - 2022

Florida banned Confucius Institutes due to a propaganda concern

A few other states are blocking farmland purchases, too.

Boston

Wuxiao Lei supports the CCP and allegedly (violently) threatened others, may face 10 years in prison and 500,000 fine.

Wester Yang - Chinese student leaves CCP to support opposition

Wester yang switched from CCP to president of Assembly of Citizens in Canada.

self-proclaimed “little pink” to anti-CCP

The description says he changed his mind based on studying history, his literal interviews said it was witnessing injustices against the chinese people by their government. He still “loves China” but feels that the current government is corrupt.

Supported white-paper revolution or blank-paper protest - this seems to be another interesting method that Chinese were able to protest the government without being explicitly illegal in doing so. The banners were blank, but through context everyone knew they had to do with the banner posted to the bridge in Bei Jing.

the video used both terms but it’s not clear if they are the same, TODO: look up white-paper revolution, blank-paper protest, blank-banner protest

He would probably face torture if he returns home. Or death if the torture doesn’t get him to publicly recant.

US/UK

Blinken, Austin meet with China to discuss arming Japan against China in the Indo Pacific.

2200 troops in Okinawa by 2025

Includes an agreement to protect space assets.
