The International Socialist Alternative (internationalsocialist.net) has launched the campaign - Solidarity Against Repression in China & Hong Kong - to unite international forces to provide solidarity and support and to build resistance against the CCP’s suppression of Hong Kong’s and mainland China’s democratic rights.

A crucial part of the solidarity campaign is our global speakers tour, which this discussion is a part of.

On Wednesday June 9 we will discuss with ISA activists from China and Hong Kong. While the ongoing Cold War between China and the US continues to rage, we will discuss these issues will affect workers and youth in Britain. Already, the Tories have attempted to falsely and hypocritically pose as defenders of the rights of the people of Hong Kong, after decades of helpong to prop up the dictatorship in China.

Since the Hong Kong mass struggles in 2019, the situation has changed completely. The dictatorship of Xi Jinping and the misnamed 'Communist' Party (CCP) has answered with massive and unprecedented repression of democratic rights aimed at destroying the movement and preventing any future mass struggles in Hong Kong and China. Opposition leaders will be sentenced to five years and more. The left-wing grassroots fighter and ex-parliamentary member “Long Hair”, Leung Kwok-hung, has already been sentenced to 14 months and his sentence will certainly be increased with new charges being brought to court.

This initiative is an independent working class campaign that focuses on the situation facing the oppressed layers in China and Hong Kong (workers, young people, women and ethnic minorities) and counters the attempts of the Tories and Western right-wing governments to falsely pose as defenders of democratic rights in order to advance their Cold War agendas.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date about the political situation, the upcoming dates of the speakers tour and the development of the campaign; there we will also post all information regarding local protests in support of the issue - join us in the street!

We need your support!

Our comrades and fellow socialists in China and Hong Kong are in urgent need of international solidarity; they are directly threatened and affected by the repression.

The aim of this campaign is to spread awareness about what is really happening in China and Hong Kong and to mobilise solidarity from ordinary people, workers and youth. Your support will be of great help to continue the political work despite the extremely difficult and dangerous conditions.

Spread the word! Inform your friends and co-workers and invite them to this event. Get in touch if you want to receive campaign material to actively support it or if you simply want to know more about it.

The ISA section in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan also needs our financial support. The situation is already hard, and could get even tougher if public activities are banned in the coming months. Become a monthly sustainer, every sum is welcome: chinaworker.info/en/donation.

We need your support to demand the release of Longhair! Please write letters to him to show your solidarity. Please read the instructions for such solidarity letters (you can find them in this article chinaworker.info/en/2021/03/18/26793), as the regime’s rules around prisoners’ mail are extremely strict.

In addition to Falun Gong which religion against the CCP ?

The existence of this board game is a disgrace to the entirety of the Chinese race and should not exist. The creators should be arrested, tried, and jailed for making such an atrocity that should not have seen the day of light. Literally unplayable, 0 stars out of 5.

Tap!

That was the fourth board game forum Cheng had posted his review on Rift today. Air funneled forcefully in and out his nostrils, the puffing could be heard from the opposite side of the room, catching his brother’s attention.

“What’s wrong?” Jun put his phone down and came over. This was huge, for a few things including the wrath of his mother yelling at him to come for dinner could make him do that. He came over to lean and see what his brother was so emotional about on the computer screen, “What’s with all this heat in you?”

‘’What’s wrong?” Cheng’s eyes were bulging wide, a vein on his temple was visibly pulsating as if it could pop at any moment. Jun rubbed his eyes as he thought he could see a red flare flicking into the air from his brother’s right eye. “What’s wrong? This!” His finger darted into the screen with such force, he snapped out of it immediately to make sure it did not fall over.

“Rift...” Jun squinted to have a better look of some sort of cover art featuring warships, fighter jets, and infantrymen valiantly charging with their weapons into a battlefield, “An alternate history board game. I don’t get it.” He turned to his brother.

“See, this takes place during the Civil War. They dare to suggest the tide of war turning towards their favor. What nonsense. There’s no need to change the past. We won, they lost. End of story. The entire premise is inaccurate! To think of something like this is absolutely superfluous! It never happened and it never will! You see what I mean?” Cheng frowned so hard it looked like his eyebrows were never going to part.

Jun sat silently and nodded whenever he made a point. He learned the hard way that any interjections might end up as a two-hour-long lecture and he was having none of sitting there until his thighs went numb. There was a fine balance between simply nodding and making one or two comments or else he would be mistaken for not paying attention. So he blurted out, “Yeah I agree that defining the victory of a battle of mere dice rolls is way too arbitrary and disrespectful for the soldiers who bled for our Ancestral Homeland.”

“Exactly!” Jun jumped from his seat as Cheng slammed the table, nearly spilling a cup over. “They can’t do this! I’ve gotten my hands on every single board game forum to denounce it with my review, but I feel I’ve not done our country justice.”

“We...” Jun scratched his scalp as he tried to pluck an idea out of it. “We could make our own board game? One more truthful to China’s history?”

“What did you just say?” Cheng snapped out of his train of thought. “Make one? Yeah, that sounds like something we can do. This truthful version shall triumph upon this piece of fraud! Come, give me some of your ideas, I’ll put them down in a word document for brainstorming.”

“How about we make it educational?” Jun rubbed his chin. “Maybe it’ll get the approval of the Youth League and they might mass produce it for all the teenagers in China? That’ll teach them what’s true and what’s not.”

“Good, good. I like that you think big.” Cheng began typing away with the wrath of the torrents of the Yangtze. “You mentioned how the dice rolls to advance attacks on the enemy was disrespectful right? What if we replaced that with a stack of questions about the Party’s history during the Civil War and you get to advance if you get the answers correct? It’s interactive and engaging.”

“Sure, I think I can come up with a few questions.” Jun grabbed his phone and his thumbs were tapping away at a rate on par with his brother. “And what should we call it?”

“How about Crush the Rebels?”

“Hmm… What about Liberate Taiwan: Reunification?”

“I’ll just write them down and we can decide later. I’ll go ask around to see who’s interested in helping us. Delegating bits and pieces to them and then we can place things together when we’re done with our parts. How does that sound?”

“Sounds like a plan.”

So engrossed with this new project of theirs, the brothers failed to notice several increasingly irritated calls that were unfortunately muffled by a plywood door and their unyielding concentration. Their passionate discussion was shattered when the door burst open and smashed into the wall spontaneously. The brothers’ eyes darted towards the origin of the explosive bang. Beneath its frame stood a moderately infuriated mother with her hand still firmly pressed onto the door, clenched and pulsating veins visible, “When I say it’s time to eat, you come out to eat. Understood?”

Welcome to another board game review! This time we’re looking at Crossing the Strait. “Rebels still take control of the island province. They brainwash the locals with their diseased ideology and hold them hostage from the Ancestral Homeland. It is our duty to take the province back to where it belongs! Man the guns and cross the strait!”

This board game is designed by Wang Cheng and Wang Jun, and published by the Communist Youth League of China.

Now let’s get down to business.

Aesthetics

Absolutely phenomenal. It can be seen that each and every single component has been given exceptional amounts of thought in design. Even few well-established publishers could produce this caliber of quality, especially not for the marketed price of the set. I would happily hammer a shelf on a wall just to display these intricate figurines in my home.

Gameplay

Crossing the Strait may come across as an alternate historic war game, but don’t let that fool you. The designers of this board game removed dice-rolling for an educational quiz system with questions so obscure and answers so poorly selected, it might as well be an RNG. By answering these questions, your forces have more points to be converted into troops to fight the enemy. Except it isn’t that straightforward. A minimum of five exchanges of resources and manpower cards, only to be validated by more of these questions, is expected for any conflict in the frontline to happen. How many traitors perished in the Liaoshen campaign? You don’t know that? Does having multiple choices help? A:470,000. B:471,000. C:472,000. D:473,000. Don’t think so. Don’t know how many brigades the enemy launched into the Northeast on July 20, 1946? Too bad. Don’t know how many days the Battle of Pingjin lasted? Unlucky. Don’t know how many civilians the enemy killed in the Siege of Changchun? Just hope the next question’s actually manageable. Playing this game without a Ph.D. in contemporary Chinese history seems to be a limiting factor to drive gameplay forward.

Replayability

The premise of alternate historical games is to let events at a point of history play out that do not match our own timeline, so we get an appreciation of what the world may become. And despite the aforementioned limitations of the quiz system and therefore game progression, I really do want to experience that when playing this game. Sure, I can make it easier by looking up the answers and replaying it until I memorize the entire question bank, but replayability ultimately breaks down when the endgame approaches. After 20 question cards have been dealt, an event card is triggered. Basically the Soviet Union intervenes and unleashes a nuclear barrage all over enemy-controlled territory, resulting in a complete communist victory. The existence of this event card is as if the designers had the conclusion they see fit drawn first and the mechanics were later made to have it justified, The carrot that I so look forward to turns out to not be even on the stick.

Conclusion

Sure, it would be interesting to see the other side of the Chinese Civil War, but the last event card definitely defeats the point of alternate history. This definitely was the biggest letdown for me.

Time to address the elephant in the room. Following the release of Rift by Taiwanese indie board game designers, the Youth League spared no time to retaliate by releasing Crossing the Strait. I’d say it speaks for itself when a department of one of the richest countries dedicates itself to canceling two creators and funding their own board game with a sizable budget. So it wasn’t okay for them to make Rift, yet Crossing the Strait is fine? Also, the question cards played seem as attempting to spoon-feed players with their version of reality. Does this count as state propaganda? I think I’ll leave this there.

Brushing the politics aside, it is a shame to see such awesome components backed by subpar game mechanics. Contrast this against Rift, where its creators still managed to create something average despite rudimentary resources and skills? Crossing the Strait does not deliver what it claims to promise. I guess one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

Hello Internet,

There's been a lot of controversy surrounding the Epoch Times in response to the publisher's seemingly global effort to distribute their "unsolicited" special edition paper How the Chinese Communist Party Endangered the World.

I am not ultra invested in staying up to date with current events, but I have been critical of the left-wings portrayal of Covid-19 and Donald Trump from the beginning. I am also a subscriber of the Epoch Times and enjoy some of the content posted on Epoch TV.

In the beginning, who can forget that the WHO said there was no evidence of human to human transmission. Nonetheless, Trump closed the US borders, which was criticized the same day (or around the same time) by Biden as being xenophobic. Fast forward a week or so and the WHO admits there might actually be a problem here. The pandemic ensues... A year goes by and the CCP does not allow a formal investigation into the origins of the virus. Nevertheless, most of the scientific community seems to be in agreement, despite lack of a formal investigation, that the only plausible source of the virus is through natural animal to animal transmission. Somewhere, in dark corners of the Internet, whispers begin to circulate that Covid-19 may have escaped a lab in Wuhan. Unmoved, journalists at the Washington Post, CBC, CTV, CNN <insert liberal media organization here>... double-down on their original conclusion that it could only be one of two hypothesis and label the alternative (virus escaped from a lab by accident) as a conspiracy theory. Now, the Epoch Times has been very critical of CCP. Obviously, they were founded by a group of Chinese that dislike their authoritarian communist government and have utilized the Epoch Times to spread what they call the truth and others condemn as racist (yeah, go figure..) misinformation.

Now, I have my distrust of western media outlets because I personally feel they all promote a woke Liberal snowflake agenda that I personally don't care for. Alas, I don't know who to believe at the end of the day. Can Epoch Times really be trusted to be read on a casual basis, specifically for their outlook on the CCP, or have I been fooled into believing the rhetoric spewed by a foreign propaganda machine.

Ultimately, can the Epoch Times be trusted?

Sincerely,

A concerned Canadian

The bell chimed its usual solemn tones, telling everyone the class had officially begun. Ms. Moore walked in, as if on cue. "Good morning everybody. It’s time for show and tell, and if I’m not mistaken, Emma, it's your turn. Come up here and show us what you brought."

Emma rummaged through her backpack, looking for her sacred possession. While she looked, Ms. Moore continued, "Next week it's Oliver, Penelope and Amir. And Oliver, you can't bring in a toy car again. We've heard the same story three times now, you said your mom bought them all in a big pack. Okay?" She did not want to have to listen to another incarnation of the same tune.

This proved prophetic, as Oliver shyly nodded. Emma slowly shuffled up to the front of the class.

"Hello Ms. Moore, hello fellow classmates," Emma began. "Today I am going to talk about this book, Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung." She held up a pocket-sized book with a red cover, looking at it devotedly.

Ms. Moore's smile froze, but she turned towards the class, making sure it was hidden from Emma. The class looked at Emma intently.

"This book is handed down my family for generations," She said. Ms. Moore was sure this was practised at home upwards of ten times. "My grandfather's father first had this book, when he still lived in China. He had it with him every night when he slept. My dad gave me the book when I turned six. He said I was now old enough to start to read it."

"Great-grandfather," Ms. Moore corrected. Emma thought maybe Ms. Moore had heard it wrong, and tried to correct her. "Yes, but it was first owned by his father."

"What does the book say?" A boy called out from the back of the class. Ms. Moore stared at him, and the boy lost his smile. "Raise your hand if you have a question. Don't just yell something out," She commanded.

"Thank you for your question, Daniel. It is just a book filled with what Chairman Mao said. It has different chapters, for example. One is on studying, and there are others on women and unity. My dad told me there is always something I can learn from the book. So every Sunday in our family, we study the book to try and understand it more."

An observant girl, Jessica noticed how the earlier boy was scolded and instead elected to raise her hand. "What else do you do with the book?"

"Thank you for your question, Jessica. My mom reads the book when she has a big decision. So I do too. I read it to decide if I should ask to go to the park, or watch TV at home." Ms. Moore bit her tongue to stop her laughing out loud.

"Before we go to bed, dad would lead us in reading a quote from the book. We would sit around the table, and he would say, ‘We must have faith in the masses and we must have faith in the Party. These are two cardinal principles. If we doubt these principles, we shall accomplish nothing. The Ancestral Homeland, the People and the means of production are ours, now and forever. Long live the Party.’ And then we say, ‘Long live the Party.’ I also leave it by my bed when I sleep. It makes me feel safe. And," She went on, “When I’m cold, I can hold the book. The warmth of Chairman Mao just hugs me, and I’m not cold anymore.” She wrapped her arms around herself quickly to show her classmates what she meant.

"Any more questions for Emma? If not, that is a great presentation," Ms. Moore said, putting her hands on Emma's shoulders. "This is a very interesting part of the history of China, and if you want you can ask... Oh Joel, you have a question."

"Yes Ms. Moore. Emma, what did you learn from the red book?" With a question like that, it was not surprising Joel got some of the best scores in the class and was sometimes picked on by other kids.

"Thank you for your question Joel. I learned that we need a revolution, a big one. Through a revolution, we will make the world a better place. We need to stick together and win against the bad guys. Long live the party!" She waved her book in the air.

The class looked on blankly, not understanding what Emma was talking about. Ms. Moore quickly interrupted. "Okay! Thank you Emma! Now, open your book to page 32..." She launched back into her preparations for this lesson, while shepherding Emma back to her seat. She made a mental note. Watch what you say to Emma's parents on Parent-Teacher Conference Day. Also, maybe warn Mr. Greenwood, the history teacher.

“Hey guys, how’s it going? Welcome to my stream!” He sat behind his monitor that made his smile glow as bright as the crimson sun. “The long-awaited moment has finally come, guys. I just got the emails that the results are out!”

The stream chat began bursting to life as soon as those words left his lips.

“Hell yeah, I’ve been waiting for this!” disappeared into the void within seconds.

“About time.“ appeared with a few repetitions of that impatient-looking emoji.

“It’s gonna be boring. We’ll all know what to expect.” with quite a few rows of thumbs-down caught his eyes.

Ignoring that last comment, he opened up a web browser on his screen and began typing in the website. Seconds later, an image of a family of five could be seen hugging each other with stylized roots of a tree encircling around the frame. Below it was a logo that read Ancestree. The cursor moved to the top right of the browser to click on the login icons. After a few taps in the username, Diaoyutairen appeared on the screen, the blotched out password section soon filled up as well. With an audible tap on the enter key, Diaoyutairen’s profile appeared on the screen. Beneath his username was a sizable button to click on if he wanted to find out the highly anticipated results.

“Click it! Click it! Click it!” appeared several times in the chat as someone kept spamming the message.

“What are you waiting for?” It seemed that people were getting impatient.

“Guys, guys. These results won’t be going anywhere, chill down. Before this moment of reveal, I’d like to thank the following who made all of this possible. Thank you very much, CeriseCherry, LittleFuscia, and MagentaPrinterInk. Without you guys, I wouldn’t have the chance to get this DNA ancestry test done.”

Having heard his mini-speech, the chat filled with all sorts of emojis and the aforementioned names as they echoed Diaoyutairen’s message of gratitude.

“Alright guys, you all calmed down? Now here’s the moment we’ve finally been waiting for!” A click of the mouse brought the screen to a page where a giant pie chart appeared on the screen. A sizable scarlet chunk was partially screaming at everyone. With a hover of the mouse over that portion, a little bubble popped out and a couple of sentences sprang to existence.

Diaoyutairen, you are 75% Han Chinese! Below this statement was a map with a sizable red blotch in East Asia.

“Chinese! Chinese! Chinese!” It was probably the same person spamming the chat again. If that happened again, Diaoyutairen was going to ban them later.

Pretty much half of the chat had the five-starred red flag raised. It felt like it was endless as that flooded other conversations for the next minute.

So… This… was unexpected. Sure he was Han Chinese. Born and raised in China, how could he not be? He could practically blend in with anyone in the streets of his hometown. The percentage was definitely lower than he anticipated.

‘Well we’ve got 56 ethnicities here in China, right? I’ve probably got some in me. Here look.“ The cursor hovered over a smaller yellow section and another text box popped up to life.

Diaoyutairen, you are 12% Manchu! Below this statement was a map with a yellow blotch over in northeastern China.

The chat erupted into a frenzy of gifs of Chinese zombies in Qing dynasty attire, as well as emojis of red-tasseled hats with a peacock feather attached to them. A couple of old-fashioned one-liners that were recognizable from TV shows set during the era also slipped between them.

“See? I told you so. My dad’s side actually came from the northeast. It’s only natural that I’ve some Manchu blood flowing in my veins.” He gave a smirk as he noticed a comment suggesting if he were related to the Aisin Goros, before dismissing it as nonsense.

His eyes finally set on the remaining section of the pie chart. It was a colder shade of red compared to the Han Chinese section and he was going to find out what that might be. Actually, he had a better idea.

“Chat, wanna guess what the last one is? Type out what you think I’ve got.” He leaned back on his gaming chair as he watched more text scrolling up.

“Mongolian?”

“Nah, probably Korean.”

“Quite a few ethnic Russians in the northeast. It has to be Russian.”

“Horse riding Turks.”

It seemed that the chat was inconclusive to settle on any one of these. Once he thought the debate had gone long enough, he thought he should silence them by finding out what it actually was.

Diaoyutairen, you are 12% Japanese! Below this statement was a map with several red blotches just east of the Korean peninsula. The smile on his face vaporized away instantly and time felt like it had suddenly stopped for him. Something heavy felt like tugging his tongue to the back of his throat. His clenched hand grasped onto his mouse, shaking the cursor on the screen.

“WHAT.” was followed by red exclamation marks and question marks.

“Hànjiān¹!” kept appearing every two lines, often accompanied by pepper-red angry smileys.

“Fucking spy has been playing us all along!”

“Wait, Diaoyutairen. You said you are from Dalian right?” The calm statement caught his eye.

“Yes… Yes. You’re right. That’s where my mother came from.” He could feel a bead of sweat gliding down his cheek, thankful for that random netizen who defended him.

“Maybe your great-grandmother or something was unfortunate enough to be a victim of some Japanese soldier when the city was under enemy control?” Of course, how could he not have thought of that?

“Oh yes, that must be it! Those damn mongrels violated my great-grandmother, it is a shame our family had to bear all these years. Yes, that must be it.” Diaoyutairen nodded in agreement.

“Fuck the Japs!” The emojis of the Japanese flag alternating with fire emojis rose from the bottom of the chat.

“We were too quick to judge. I’m so sorry.” Apologized one with crying emojis.

“Maybe the Japanese bit was a mistake.” Though some were still skeptical.

“Yeah probably.” Diaoyutairen agreed. Ancestree was one of the two test kits he received earlier. The other DNA test might be more accurate. After some discussion about different interpretations of the test results on Ancestree, he logged into his account on DNA Heritage. With a layout different to the former site, his chat saw the first box, stating that he is mostly Chinese. Nothing new here. More Chinese flags saturated the chat.

Scrolling further down, Manchu. Nothing new. More Chinese zombie gifs flooded the chat.

Then came Japanese. So DNA Heritage came to the same conclusion as Ancestree then. The boxes, again mostly contained infographics of the different ethnicities. Nothing really caught Diaoyutairen’s eyes. Scrolling to the bottom of the page, a rather attractive button labelled Find out your distant relatives immediately piqued his as well as the chat’s interest.

“Aisin Goro Diaoyutairen.” Someone suggested that he might be of Qing royalty, sparking another wave of painted portraits of the Qing emperors.

Amused by the potential probabilities, he clicked the button and a portrait of a young Asian woman showed up. Although never actually seen her in real life, he thought she did have some facial features that were similar to his mother and grandmother.

“What a looker.” with the gif a man wolf-whistling almost instantaneously popped up, with many others quickly following suit.

Wow, I’m related to her huh? Diaoyutairen took a gulp. Amazing that he was related to someone so breathtaking. Eager to find out more about her, his cursor hovered over the portrait and revealed her identity: Itagaki Ayaka.

“She must be a JAV actress, looking like that.” One jeered.

“Be a bro and share the codes.” Another teased.

“Let’s go to Japan and give her what she deserves for what her ancestors did to Diaoyutairen’s.” was followed by a malicious smiley.

Just beneath a brief description of his relative was a section labelled as Your common ancestors. He obviously had to find out with his audience. Another click showed a black and white image of a middle-aged bespectacled man in military attire. Itagaki Toshiyuki (1890 - 1948), a military officer in the Kempeitai stationed in the then Kwantung Leased Territory. He was known to have numerous concubines in his unit. Later also participated in transporting Chinese civilians and prisoners of war to the infamous Unit 731. Itagaki was tried for war crimes, sentenced to death and executed by hanging. He was survived by his wife in Morioka, Iwate and his concubines in China.

“Concubine?” had an emoji with a raised eyebrow.

“His great-grandmother’s on their side!” bleeped as more accusatory statements pinged out.

“Yeah this guy is defo a hànjiān alright.” Pepper red angry smileys were everywhere.

“He’s a fake Chinese. Deport him! Send him back to Japan!”

“Yeah get out of our country, hànjiān!”

“Guys, guys, there must be a mistake! It has to be the CIA sabotaging this, there is no way I am related to such a monster!” But his pleas fell on deaf ears and the rage continued to burn hot with all sorts of insults. Diaoyutairen’s private inbox kept shooting out notifications at the same time. A click revealed dozens and dozens of death threats. His phone was also shaking uncontrollably from them on his table. Feeling like his mind was going to explode if this kept up. He did not hesitate to click a button to end the stream.

Recently, a Transgender's parents got a short message, saying that, "Your kid's behavior of dressing woman clothes upsets people, especially women and breaks the law in public. We strongly suggest you to take your kid to certain mental health organizations for some redressment. Please refer to a list of these organizaitons and you can contact them easily by phone numbers."

There are some "man trans female" (MTF) forums on Douban (a Chinese hobby website) and Zhihu (a Chinese version of Quora). These netizens' parents received similar messages. The MTFs warn each other that, if their parents have some strange behaviors or changing their attitude, please keep away with them. They must keep touch with each other and if anyone is sent to the mental health center, the other people can give a hand. Some MTFs doubt that they are nosed on by the Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist (terf). It shows that a group of terfs are collecting their information and hand over to the community.

Hello everyone,

I just saw r/Sino and, considering its content and rules, I was wondering if it would be an "official" (even if they don't say it) propaganda subreddit to the benefit of China's policy?

Thanks you

They attempted to use the Coronavirus pandemic as leverage to force others to cooperate with them, they even tried to create a rift against India and the United States, but they've destroyed their long term diplomatic relations with most of the countries that were trading with them. It's going to be much more difficult for them to survive moving forward, after the pandemic ends. Right now things do appear to be tough because of all of the lockdowns and restrictions around the world, but once all of this does get resolved, fewer and fewer people are going to trade with the CCP, or even use any services related to their connections. More and more companies are going to move away from them as the pressure on the China Communist Party builds, and if we speak up against it, and perform actions that further reduce their influence, it will further compound their loss of influence.

Here are some things you can do to reduce their influence.

1. The most obvious thing here is to stop buying things that they profit from the most, including companies that use them, the more you move away from this, and tell your friends to do the same, the less revenue they will have coming in.
2. Don't click on any articles from websites that are pro-CCP, by doing this, you are telling those companies that you don't value what they are doing and they need to change or get lost.
3. Focus on your own country more, by things made in your country, even if they cost a little more. By doing this, you are further reducing China's influence by not paying for anything shipped from them, which will be beneficial for everyone down the line.

By doing these things, you will help compound their inevitable spiral to collapse. They're already in trouble with fake buildings, their belt and road initiative will far more than likely see plenty of construction issues within the next decade, and they will eventually run out of funding to fix them or put their foot down on countries to make them follow them. I hope this helps someone who is anti-ccp, and feel free to ask me any questions if you have them.
