On China deploying an aircraft carrier in the South China Sea:
"As I've said before, PLA starts shit overseas to cover for trouble back home. THey have never deployed a carrier so far south before. Why are they doing this now? Have they made some military breakthrough? Do they have some special submarine capability?
No its because they are facing impending economic collapse back home. Many months of lockdown means lack of food esp for big cities. Vegetables and produce spoil becuas ethey lack freezers. And after economic collapse comes civil unrest.
I said before that China's draconian measures serve dual purposes - to control the infection, but also to brutally suppress any uprisings. Villages as far away as Inner Mongolia are shut down. This is happening on both far east and west provinces in China.
CCP has quietly spread out PLA forces throughout the country to prevent widespread uprisings, and no one seems to have noticed
Even 1 month of lockdown causes massive economic damage especially regarding food supply. Crops and produce spoil. Freezer usage is uncommon in China where electricity supply is patchy at best. Roads are in horrible condition esp in mountainous areas. We already know that supplies are being hoarded in central areas where top CCP officials are located, and excess food left to spoil.
These problems can be mitigated by bringing in food from other provinces, but a "second wave" of infections has caused Wuhan to be placed under lockdown again. Its a matter of time before this happens to other cities.
Its common knowledge that the PRC economy was slowing down prior to the outbreak. This has brought the economy to a screeching crash. This is bad for several reasons. China banks are extremely strict about loans and typically will only lend money to someone with a AAA or AA rating. Most people do not qualify, hence they use something called the "shadow banking system". This shadow system is so large that not even the CCP knows how big it is.
Widespread land reform has caused real estate to become highly profitable in China. This has caused rapid increase in property prices esp in cities, worst in Beijing and Shanghai. We now have a "subprime" lending system with rapidly escalating property prices, now coupled with an economic crash. Does anyone remember where they've seen this before? That's right- USA 2007/8.
So you see, the PLA and PLN moves are largely distractions. The wumao army is working in overdrive to suppress negative news and generate propaganda to distract the population. Right now it seems to be working as the eyes of the world are focused on the pandemic. There is no military nor naval breakthrough that can explain PLA's latest aggression in the South China Sea.
China teeters on the brink"
