As I predicted, China did not crack down or use any violence on the organic covid protests against the lockdowns, daily testing, etc. Xi had gone on a typical Chinese megalomaniacal power trip doing things like locking down 25 million people in *all* of Shanghai, China's most westernized city (outside of Hong Kong, different history, tho), while having no regard for the havoc he was wreaking on his own economy, both short term and long term, probably just because everyone he knows is filthy rich, so who cares.
I'm 100% certain that Xi got the call from the people who really wield the power, which IMO are the world's private central bankers of the Western power group, aka Alanticists, and was told that he was ahead of schedule by a few years for these kinds of absolute flexes because his "quarantine camps" weren't yet up to capacity, so I expect they told him to back off a bit, so here he is saying can't we all just get along. He even pulls out the China is a big country with lots of people cliché, which is one of the most retarded things Chinese people always say, and I think indicates quite clearly the extent of his intellect.
Instead of easing off a bit quickly on things like lockdowns, and a bit more gradually on other things, like testing, we get this 180 degree u-turn where lockdowns, testing, and travel restrictions will end after only two weeks, so now everyone allegedly has tested positive for covid (as if that means anything), and lots of other countries are discriminating against Chinese travelers in what I think is a ham-fisted attempt to do some agitprop for the coming arranged military battle, probably a naval conflict in the South China Seas and/or Taiwan Straits where only a few hundred will die, but will be sufficient for media hype for Queer America to "surrender"; America will lose just as if it were an arranged WWF title match.
They're going to need something as major as WW3 (IMO this began on Feb. 24, 2022 with the Ukraine war, which Putin is apparently wanting to expand as widely as possible because he refuses to make his decisive victory) in order to transfer world hegemonic power away from the USA and to China, by very long-term design, and through the fog of war the opportunity for the unbelievably complex project of changing the world reserve currency will be accomplished, that the USA has had since Bretton Woods in 1944, to either something intermediary, like the Shanghai Cooperative, and then later into CBDC, or directly into full digital, or both options at once, with some countries going digital like Nigeria already there now, while others have an intermediary step.
It is really having the world reserve currency and the US military industrial intelligence complex / GAE enforcement of the petrodollar that keeps the USA in the position where it can "print" money at will, and that power has to be transferred directly to the private central banks. It is the money power through which all other institutions can be bought and that is how the full electronic control grid, with digital health passports and cashless purchases will be enforced to an even greater extent, in just a few years time, than it was in China during covid.
