This is an interesting expose of what is happening in China and, as a result, affects international politics. To understand this you need to look at the past and also what is happening now.
The Communist Party in China abandoned the masses and now caters to the rich "redbloods," the descendants of Communist revolutionaries. It did this long before the current leadership. As a result, it is losing the support of the "workers."
Communism is a failure as has been seen in other countries. All repressive regimes are. The Nazis invaded other countries for several reason. One was they needed the resources of other countries---gold reserves and products---to continue their hold on the German people, as their economy was failing. This has happened in Russia too, which has a failing economy. And this is occurring in China and North Korea. The regimes need to focus the attention of their populace on the "threat" from other countries such as the Ukraine, Taiwan and U.S. or Jews or "Nazism in the Ukraine."
China is now facing problems as more companies world-wide are abandoning Chinese companies selling products made by slave-labor. You have to wonder why individuals financially support these repressive regimes which want to destroy us by buying products produced there.
The question is does the world leadership, even in our country, understand what is happening or will world leaders think they can "appease" the problem away.
Desmond Shum wrote a book about the failure of capitalism in China, but it was a capitalism based on corruption. In the end, even he understood how he was suckered into playing its game. He was lucky, as he got away with his life, his son and enough money to live well. Hundreds of millions of Chinese aren't as fortunate.
