[The Epoch Times, April 15, 2023]Hello everyone, I am Tang Hao, how are you doing today? Today is the weekend, let’s talk regarding a few topics that the CCP doesn’t want to hear, “The CCP doesn’t want to watch”.
Don’t watch the CCP: Beijing is powerless to save the economy, beware of the CCP’s deposits? The Chinese people don’t consume, and the deposit tax comes to remind them? Time magazine’s top 100 people, who is the leader of the Chinese? Chinese actors turn around and stand up, Tom Dowson’s special article praises it? (2023.4.15)｜The crossroads of the world

The famous Time magazine recently announced the list of “Top 100 People in 2023”. Which Chinese will lead the list? In addition, which Chinese has squeezed into the list, and his life is like a legend, so that the British movie star Tom Hiddleston (Tom Hiddleston) personally wrote and praised it? What kind of inspiration do these two Chinese who have been listed on the “Top 100 People” bring to Chinese people all over the world?
In addition, the People’s Bank of China recently announced that the Chinese people have had excess deposits for four consecutive years, and the deposits of ordinary residents have increased significantly by 9.9 trillion yuan, and the per capita deposits of Beijing residents are still approaching 270,000 yuan.
After all, what are the tricks and problems in the data released by the Central Bank of China? Why is the central bank releasing these data at this moment? The Chinese people’s deposits have increased greatly and they dare not spend money. What bitterness and pain are behind it? What are the serious crises in China’s economy? In this episode, discuss with you.
The famous “Time” magazine has announced their “2023 Top 100” special report in the past two days, because I have read “Time” magazine for more than ten years, so I know that their “Top 100” has a characteristic, that is, they will Try to “find famous people to write famous people”.
For example, the article regarding the Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi was written by tennis king Federer; the article regarding Hollywood movie star Colin Farrell was written by the famous actress Nicole Kidman. It is indeed very interesting to see celebrities from the perspective of celebrities.
This year’s Top 100 People of the Times, there are two Chinese who particularly attracted my attention. The first one is Peng Lifa, do you remember this name? In fact, he is the “Peng Zaizhou” who unfurled banners and played broadcasts to protest Xi Jinping at Sitong Bridge in Beijing last October.
At that time, the CCP was regarding to hold the 20th National Congress, but Peng Lifa hung up a banner in the center of Beijing. On the banner, there were six shocking classic appeals: “Don’t nucleic acid, eat, don’t block and control, be free, don’t lie Dignity, reforms instead of the Cultural Revolution, votes instead of leaders, citizens instead of slaves.” Later, following Peng Lifa was arrested, he disappeared from the public.
However, Peng Lifa’s “Sitongqiao protest” aroused the courage to resist the tyranny of the CCP in the whole of China, and even the world. The mighty “White Paper Movement” protested once morest the CCP’s harsh “dynamic zeroing” policy and ignored human lives.
Well, for Peng Lifa’s courage and deeds, he was selected as one of the “Top 100 People of the Times”, and I think he deserves his name. Although his current whereregardings are unknown, Peng Lifa showed us several important trends:
First, although Xi Jinping monopolizes power and is forced to be re-elected three times, the Chinese people have reached a point where they cannot tolerate the high-handed dictatorship, oppression of the people, and wrong governance of the CCP regime. As long as there are “Sitongqiao warriors” like Peng Lifa who come out to fight, it will inspire a wider range of people to have the courage to stand up once morest the CCP.
Second, civil protests and mass incidents in China are becoming more frequent every year, and the CCP’s stability maintenance manpower and funds have become more and more difficult to cope with. The CCP has officially announced that there were more than 100,000 mass incidents in 2007, with an average of 274 incidents per day, but most of them will not appear in the media. So since 2008, officials have not dared to release this data.
However, according to overseas media estimates, there will be more than 260,000 mass protests in China in 2020, with an average of 730 incidents per day. Although this is not an accurate statistic, the number of protests in China has definitely increased significantly, which is why Xi Jinping has recently been calling for the “Fengqiao experience” of Mao Zedong’s era, using the name of “solving local conflicts by oneself” to mobilize the masses to fight. The masses, so as to extinguish a wider range of protests, while reducing the party-state’s burden of maintaining stability.
Third, the Chinese people must never underestimate their own struggle. In the past three years, the CCP has become the target of public criticism all over the world because of its wolf warrior diplomacy and exporting the epidemic. The world is also paying close attention to the cross-strait situation and changes in China’s social situation. That’s why Peng Lifa has become one of the “Top 100 People of the Times” today, and the whole world is paying close attention to the situation and struggle of the Chinese people.
So, although we don’t know, how many more people’s struggles will be needed before the CCP will fall. But we know that every people’s resistance is a poisonous needle that accelerates the paralysis of the CCP, and it is a demon mirror that arouses more people at home and abroad to see the truth of the CCP. The collective awakening and collective resistance of the people is the crisis of collapse that the CCP fears most.
Who does Time Magazine’s top 100 people Tom Dowson write an article regarding?
In addition to Peng Lifa, there is another Chinese who is also on the “Top 100 People” list, that is Chinese actor Kwan Jiwei. Although Guan Jiwei was born in Vietnam and grew up in the United States, his father is from Cantonese and his mother is from Hong Kong. He also lived in Hong Kong for a while, so he is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese.
Although Guan Jiwei stepped into the showbiz as early as 1984, as a child actor, he performed the second episode of the “Indiana Jones” series “Legend of the Magic Palace” with the big star Harrison Ford, but later he quit because of too few acting opportunities into showbiz. It wasn’t until last year that he co-produced the movie “The Universal Universe” with Michelle Yeoh before he returned to the film industry, and he also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a living legend.
Therefore, Time Magazine not only selected Guan Jiwei as one of the “Top 100 People”, but also recruited the popular British movie star Tom Hiddleston who played Loki in “Thor Thor” to write. Friends who are familiar with the entertainment industry know that he also has A Chinese nickname, called “Tang Dou Sen”.
Well, how does Thomson write regarding Guan Jiwei? He said that he had watched Guan Jiwei’s movie, namely “Legend of the Magic Palace” since he was a child, but he mightn’t see Guan Jiwei for 38 years, because in those days, Asian actors had too many opportunities to perform. At least, Guan Jiwei mightn’t wait for the opportunity, but in order to make a living, he had to leave the show business circle.
But Tom Dowson is very appreciative of his performance of a “life reversal” with the movie “The Universal Universe”, and Tom Dowson is co-producing a new movie with Guan Jiwei. So Tang Dousen also further observed that Guan Jiwei actually has kindness, caring and patience, and has strong spiritual power. This is his unparalleled talent.
Well, Tom Dowson is indeed a well-known “warm man” and has always praised Guan Jiwei. However, it can also be found from his article that the current international situation is indeed paying more and more attention to the Chinese. On the one hand, it is more and more recognized that capable Chinese, such as Michelle Yeoh and Kwan Jiwei, both won this year’s Oscars. Create a new record in the history of Chinese film.
There is also the Shen Yun Performing Arts Troupe. Although almost all of them are Chinese artists, and the performances are traditional oriental culture, Shen Yun’s performances in Western society are often sold out and tickets are hard to find. Like ours in New York, all the tickets are sold out in advance and are very popular.
But on the other hand, the international community is increasingly vigilant and rejecting threatening Chinese, such as the CCP and the spies they send overseas. So, where is the standard for the international community to recognize and guard once morest the Chinese? Good question, the key is values.
If you embrace the same universal values as the mainstream international society, including valuing freedom, democracy, human rights, peace and the rule of law, then you will be respected and welcomed by the international community, such as Taiwan.
Why is Taiwan valued by the international community, and why do European and American politicians continue to support Taiwan? It is because Taiwan values universal values. Conversely, why is the CCP hated and surrounded? It is because they oppose universal values, destroy universal values, and even threaten the security of all countries, right?
Therefore, I think that today’s international society is the best of times for all Chinese, but it is also the worst of times. As for whether your time will get better or worse, one of the key reasons is that you want to follow the values of the CCP? Or stay away from the CCP?
The Chinese people have too many deposits, and the CCP is impatient?
In the past two days, a reporter came to me to ask me regarding a piece of financial news, that is, the central bank of the Communist Party of China announced the financial data for the first quarter of this year, claiming that Chinese residents have had excess deposits for four consecutive years, and the total deposits in the first quarter of this year alone have increased compared to last year 15.39 trillion yuan, a trillion is a trillion. Among them, as much as 9.9 trillion deposits come from “household deposits”, that is, deposits of ordinary people.
Moreover, the central bank also claimed that the average deposit of the Chinese people is on the rise. In Beijing, the average deposit of the people is close to 270,000 yuan, while the average deposit in Shanghai has exceeded 210,000 yuan. Friends in Beijing and Shanghai, if your savings exceed this figure, please wave to us.
Immediately following the news came out, some experts said that the people should be encouraged to spend money instead of locking it in the bank, so as to revive the consumer economy. There are even experts who don’t know which planet they come from, saying that “high interest tax” should be levied on depositors with deposits of more than 500,000 yuan, saying that this can force people to spend their money, otherwise they can only be taxed by the government if they put it in the bank Walk.
Well, we can understand that the Chinese government and academic circles are now very clear that the root cause of China’s economic sluggishness is that there is a problem with consumption, and the consumption economy cannot grow. The “domestic cycle” that the CCP calls is blocked, the fundamental cycle No, so the CCP is eager to think of ways to force the people to spend their money. However, do the Chinese people, especially the people in Beijing, really have such savings and surplus money?
First of all, we must note that the data released by the central bank is an “average value”, and the average value is statistically highly misleading data. For example, if we average the wealth between you and Ma Yun, then you will immediately become a billionaire, and you will be a billionaire, right?
Therefore, the average value is just a reference value that is very vague and lacks details. It is no wonder that the central bank said that the per capita deposit in Beijing is 270,000 yuan, which immediately detonated a lot of criticism from netizens, because many people are indifferent.
In fact, the biggest problem with the wealth of Chinese residents is not the lack of total wealth, but the uneven distribution. The polarization of wealth distribution, the disparity between the rich and the poor, and the scarcity of employment opportunities are the main reasons why people dare not consume and the economy cannot grow. So no matter how much the central bank announces per capita deposits, the point is where does all this wealth go? Is it true that everyone has money to spend? If 99% of wealth is still concentrated in the hands of 1% of the rich and powerful, then there will be no consumption at all.
Secondly, I think the main reason why the central bank announced the deposit data at this time is political motives, and it is “one attack, one defense”. The part of the attack is that the CCP wants to create an optimistic atmosphere in which the people have a lot of savings and the people have a lot of money, and then it is better to encourage people to use the money to spend, so as to drive the big cycle of the domestic demand economy.
The conservative part is that the CCP wants to shirk the main cause of the economic downturn to the people who will only save money and not consume it. It seems that ordinary people save money selfishly and do not contribute to the national economy. The CCP wants to use this “mass blame theory” to shift problems and embezzle flowers and plants to evade their incompetence in economic governance. Therefore, I think everyone should be wary of the political motives behind the central bank’s report on per capita deposits.
In addition, the main reason for the increase in the total deposits of the people in recent years, in my opinion, actually corresponds to several difficulties in the Chinese economy. For example, the job market is very bad, layoffs and salary cuts are everywhere, people’s income is short, so they dare not spend.
For example, Shanghai has internal data showing that as of April, the employment rate of college graduates in Shanghai was only 32.8%. In other words, nearly 70% of college students and graduate students might not find jobs. Young people are the most consuming group, but they can’t find a job following graduation and have no income, so how can they consume?
Also, China’s overall economic outlook is not optimistic at present, and even the Guizhou provincial government may go bankrupt, so of course everyone will try to save money as much as possible for future emergency needs, such as seeing a doctor and so on.
Moreover, there are still many people who are having a hard time because of unemployment, the epidemic, etc., so they have to borrow and borrow to live. Therefore, although these people have deposits in the bank, these deposits may actually be liabilities, so of course they are not willing to take them out for consumption easily.
In addition, let’s not forget that the epidemic in the past three years has severely impacted the service industry and the tourism industry, so private consumption has also decreased, and deposits will of course increase relatively. In addition, the housing market is in a downturn, housing prices have fallen, and fewer people are taking money out to buy houses. In addition, the current capital market is very unstable, and many people will be more conservative in investment and financial management, and would rather redeem funds and stocks. Come on, put your money in the bank. These are the main reasons for the increase in bank deposits.
But these phenomena also reflect the current crisis that China’s economy is facing, including lack of economic support, lack of confidence in the market, and lack of solutions to unemployment. If these three crises continue, China will experience deflation and a long-term economic recession.
What is deflation? To put it simply, the people do not dare to consume without money, so the market demand for commodities is less, and when the demand is less, commodities have to be sold at lower prices. The price of the product has been lowered, but people still dare not buy it, and the factory will lose income, and then not only have to cut manpower, but it may even go bankrupt, which will bring regarding greater unemployment and more people will have no income. unable to consume. In the end, a vicious circle is formed, the people have no money, and the economy will fall into a long-term recession. This is the biggest test China is facing now.
Well, following seeing this, you probably understand that the CCP covets the people’s savings because the government is short of money and the economy cannot grow, hoping to force the people to spend money to boost the country’s economy and government’s tax revenue. . To put it simply, it is to “share common people’s wealth to save the party.” This is the true meaning of the word “Communist Party”. Therefore, if the CCP really introduces a “property tax” or even a “deposit tax” in the future, I’m afraid you shouldn’t be too surprised.
Ok, that’s all for today. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time.
