Chinese society is volatile, its economy in freefall, and the human cost staggering. A new mandatory social insurance policy—set to take effect September 1—will force struggling businesses to pay up to half of wages into a system many workers don’t trust. For China’s private sector, already battered by debt, regulatory crackdowns, and collapsing demand, this could be the final blow. In just four months, five top entrepreneurs—from billionaires to industry pioneers—have died by suicide under crushing financial and political pressure. Their deaths reveal a deeper truth: when China’s elite start falling, the system itself may not be far behind.
I find it difficult to believe anything coming from a Marxist/Maoist police state attempting to mimmic western neo-feudal capitalist states. Marxist ideology is fundamentaly founded and maintained by lies and theft while trying to convice its neighbors it’s designs are benign.
It’s been very successful because people want to believe in Robin Hood Santa Clause, free health care for all and threats of pandemics are Marxist’s prized weapons about which Progressives, the CIA, MI6 and the medical mafia are envious as the lure for being taken care of is so appealing. People are very forgetful, usually because of endless sensual visual distractions and we are sensual beings by nature.
In times like these we forget there aint no free lunch, somebody’s gotta pay the freight. In the land of unjust Billionaire boys and girls clubs, its very easy to fanticize that they somehow will pay our freight for us, but that’s a rich man’s trick and we forgot to shut and lock the door to our system of elections to their money!
Before the USG slithered into the medical profession, I used to visit the doctors office, got an exam, a prognosis and a prescription for five bucks cash. Now look, even a visit to the doctor involves a team of paper pushers and if a preceedure is performed you will be getting related bills from multiple medical firms for months.
Don’t think when you retire that Medicare will take care of you. They do, but what they don’t take care of may well bankrupt you or at otherwise gobble up your substance. As if this has become too much, medical doctors, dentists, specialists are consolidating in corporations, sometimes funded by private equity firms and sometimes they come later with their journeymen wanna be Billionaire monopoly player CEO’s and CFO’s.
This is happening to hospitals too because big government loves big medical mafia monopolys and big Billionaire investors to run those cash cows.
Finally there are political strings being attached, like: you can’t have a job or free speech or use public transportation, or access to your bank account until you conform to some medical requirement, ruler mandate or another. This already happened in the great covid panic under warp speed Trump’s supervision. The worst I saw of it was in Great Britan’s colonies, absolutely rudderless brutal abuse of power and afterwards the brutes went on their merry way.
Lest anyone think Trump was the only one, because the passage of Obamacare and Homeland security before that were also knee jerk central government responses to govenment failures. Three steps forward, one step back, net gain two steps forward into forced collectivism. My generation understood, this generation doesn’t.
Layer upon layer of forced collective patches will continue until America itself collapses for want of a moral rudder like what happened to China in the same century as Ameica.
