  China's Economic Retaliations to Other Countries         Many countries in Asia now want to join IPEF, indicating they want to stop relying on China's economy.  China has shown many forms of economic retaliations to their trading partner countries.  2017 THAAD retaliation is a good example.  China crushed many Korean companies at that time running business in their land, arguing THAAD could encroach the rights of their national defence.  THAAD retaliation shows us China's complaints or reactions can be anytime expressed with economic retaliations targeted to their partner country's economic dependence on China.   China knows they are supporting their trading partner country's economy by consuming many of their products.  Here we can learn that China tries to control other countries' sovereignty by upsetting the country's circumstance relying on China's economy.  IPEF was formed to avoid this kind of ridiculous situation, leading more China-relying coun

  IPEF- Isolate China from global supply chain !!     We've learned that investing heavily in communist countries like China or Russia could bring many regretful results.  In 1970's China widely opened their economy to the world, promising their economic cooperation with other countries.  Since then, world has raised China by putting vast amount of money and technology to let them produce goods needed for the world.  China has contributed to alleviating people's living cost in many countries.  Many advanced countries have been happy to buy Made in China products, enjoying their low price and fair quality.  This made China the world's most popular factory, crucial for global economy and supply chain.  But when president Xi Jin Ping gripped power in China, the attitude that China had shown the world suddenly changed.  They've started threatening many countries with economic revenges, like banning export on rare earth material or repelling Korean products sold in China

    Seeing strict Covid Zero Policies in China, we can realize how pitiful Chinese people are.  Chinese citizens living in China would never be able to enjoy freedom allowed to citizens in free democratic countries.  Being a Chinese means having no rights of free speech, press, religion, education and learning, and assembly.  Chinese students are not allowed to study English at schools, as CCP banned schools from teaching English to students.  CCP concerns Chinese would be able to learn western democracy and culture from knowing English, as English is the main languange of many western free democratic countries.  Knowledges about Chinese communism and socialism can be taught to Chinese student, because these concepts fit the CCP's ideology and governance.  If you are for the CCP and its communism theory, China is the perfect place for you to live.  But if you are not positive and against the CCP and its theory, China must be a hell or prison for you.   

What is living as a Chinese ?        China's Covid lockdown shows us characteristics of CCP ruling China.   One of them is a total violation of human rights and dignity for freedom and happiness.  CCP's main focus is not on its people but on the object it determines to accomplish.  Human rights never come to first in CCP's affair.  Naturally the rights of Chinese people under CCP are taken away.  No one can enjoy true freedom in China.  Chinese should obey CCP, and their mouths have to be locked down by CCP.  Being a Chinese is living a life enslaved by CCP as always.
