Epic Rap Describes Chinese Political System

After seeing your interview with Ian Easton about the defense of Taiwan I read his book which was fantastic. I am finding the Hundred-Year Marathon about China from 1949-2049 and their quest for "national rejuvenation" (Properly translated in context) actually means ... Returning China to its proper place of the dominant world power to be a riveting book. Though I havent finished It I can tell that Mr Pillsbury would make an amazing guest on the show.

I am reading a book about China called The Hundred-Year Marathon. By Michael Pillsbury.

Oh Gawd Chris; what have you done :P

I expect that to hit the top 40 in the US anytime ;)

Thank gawd you’re posting every weekend now! There was nothing worse than waking up on a sunday hungover and having to watch the BBC instead. Anyway, China is suddenly approving Donald Trump-branded spas, escort services, hotels and massage parlours without US Congress permission. That’s according to the latest China article from British newspaper “The Independent” So, given the trade talks which, are apparently going smoothly… (a little tooo smoothly one might add) could this be part of China’s strategy behind the curtain, to woo the business man in President Trump I wonder. So american/free world security might just be put on the back burner and the CCP let of the hook, their rise to continue yet again, unabated. Whilst I think we all can appreciate there’s some big China hawks on trumps team - the cynic in me reckons trump is going to screw up another chance of sparing the world imminent CCP domination - for short sighted financial gain. So yeah, that’s what’s going down in my head right now. Ah Chris, my faithful agony aunt! :)

Big fan of the show. If I had a chance to provide China with a better system of Government to contain over 1.5 billion people from killing each other, I really have little to offer. Maybe some small advice, but nothing that would change what they are already doing. Even though it is harsh, it does get the job done. Keep up the good work.

Chris, this video illustrates the fact that the Chinese government is trying to absorb and China-ize some aspects of western culture, I assume that this is an attempt to humanize the regime. In 1997 Hong Kong, after 156 years of British rule, was returned to the Chinese. I know this was a huge boost to the Chinese economy but what effect has it had on their culture?

Chris, is there a Canadian politician that would take a strong stand against the CCP if he/she became PM?

Haha How does Chinese democracy work.. Fly rhymes Chris!

Who came up with the two-week long rubber stam- umm inportant policy session where the course of Chinese politics is decided? Did Mao try to bore his opponents to death?
