Is the US-China Trade War a Cold War? (w/ Kyle Bass and Gen. Robert Spalding) - YouTube
One example (at about the 13m mark) is how the CCP strives to control the narrative on topics related to China. That is, they try to control what we (i.e. Americans) are, in effect, “allowed” to think and say about China. They tend to play back our cultural expressions. It’s actually quite clever.
This provides insight into how a topic can become taboo and forbidden by contemporary PC rules. A good example is how the initial discussion of the Wuhan virus as being a product of Chinese biolabs was “forbidden” and quickly scorned by the prestige media as a “conspiracy theory” as already discussed.
The interview was conducted prior to the virus pandemic. I’d be interested people’s thoughtful observations and opinions on the issues the General raises. |
You make some very good points, especially this one, to me: "Anyway, we’ll soon find out …maybe." Someday we
may know the truth, but it won't necessarily be what we're told by the CCP.
I'll confess: I didn't watch the whole video, but caught the section you cited above. Very interesting stuff & scary, if completely true.
