Pretty ignorant of China's politics myself, who to follow for good coverage of what's going on in China? This latest consolidation of power by Xi, is it more of the same or is this something we haven't seen before?

What's wrong with being anti-CCP? I hate China's corrupted government almost as much as I hate the USA's.

Some of the anti-CCP stuff is too heavily algorythmucally captured, and ends up being "China will lose" - which is both wrong, and the wr0ng way to look at the world.

The China-Chaser guys can be the worst for this, as the tend(ed) to phrase the everrything as a US vs China competition - for which the US is destroying the Chinese. Any realist out there knows that the Chinese and US economies are so intertwined that they are both in trouble.

Truthfully, I find that I am anti-CCP, as you can tell bt my suggestions. I try to balance it out, bit I avoid those "US fails as China soars" channels. I tjimk that I tend to follow Taiwanese producers, as they have healthy concern but strong independence. Also I hate bully countries.
