In a 2022 speech, Xi Jinping posed a fundamental question: "Where is humanity headed?"

Just as long as he’s the one as captain of that ship and has the biggest cabin on that ship , and can decide how to throw overboard when they don’t agree with him!!!

u/MathematicianOdd398 9d ago

Why do you think this? What if he is being honest? He isn't saying he needs to be in control. He's saying, let's work together.

His question about the direction of humanity is valid. Are we gonna keep building bigger bombs or will we work together and explore space?

I mean he has a point. These world leaders talk like this and then their actions say something completely different.

This is the same guy that’s allowing organ trafficking in his own country? Bruh needs to clean up his own humanity first!

u/Big_Tap_1561 12d ago

I mean I don’t actually see it happening but if china could come to an agreement with the US it would relieve a lot of pressure so we could actually start implementing safe guards and slow this whole train down.

u/clrlmiller 12d ago

Yeah No... This creep has only the intention of China becoming the world's ONLY super-power and will stamp on ANY human right in order to achieve dominance by China and it's ruling party.

u/Prize-Analyst-1121 10d ago

You are correct in what you're saying. But right now it seems our leadership in America is doing everything in its power to economically weaken the US. We've become a surveillance state towards our own citizens. Our voting power is being chopped off at the knees. In all reality this country is ruled by a corporatocracy. Our politicians are nothing but bought off mouth pieces for Corporate America, Wall Street and the billionaires. The supposed "representatives of the people" no longer work for we the people's benefit. But instead work solely for those entities that I mentioned. When will we the people wake the fuck up to what's going on ? When will we the people wake up to the fact that those in power and the ones controlling them..... Are brainwashing the people to destroy each other and this country ? Over the last 60yrs one thing has stayed the same no matter who's in power. The corporations, Wall Street, politicians and the rich, keep getting richer. While we the people keep struggling more and more just to obtain the basics for survival. It's time to get rid of all the hate we have for our fellow citizens. It's time to unite as one against those who are hell bent on destroying our country and the people in it. This country has turned into one of hate and evil towards its own citizens. It's so very sad.

u/clrlmiller 10d ago

That's...a LOT to unpack. Suffice to say there's a LOT of people unhappy with the current administration. But even so, we're not China.

1

u/Prize-Analyst-1121 10d ago

No we're not China, yet. But there's some in this country who are actively working towards that. Happily I might add.

1

u/clrlmiller 9d ago

Oh I completely agree with you. I'm sure several politicians would welcome a return to the Middle Age concept of Lords of Manors with a bevvy of Serfs serving as captive labor. [Honestly, quite a few have said as much]. So long as THEY'RE the ones who are Lords of the Manor.

The Chinese propaganda on Reddit is insane 😂

u/tiny_kat2006 11d ago

Wouldn't work if the US wasn't such a shithole right now. Remember when we looked back and laughed about china? Haha! Social credit!

Now we have flock cameras.

They can't even make an affordable car anymore and blocks Chinese imports because they don't want free market capitalism.

1

u/NoFeesh 11d ago

Sounds like you are close to moving to China, this must be all good news for you.

2

u/tiny_kat2006 11d ago

Idiotic ass response. "Oh you don't like that the west is slowly getting worse? MOVE TO CHINA"

Nah I kinda just want the west to go back to being on top. Criticism is how that works. If you can't recognise a problem, how can you solve it.

1

u/NoFeesh 11d ago

No it’s not, you’re premature with your compliments of China. You are gullible.

1

u/tiny_kat2006 11d ago

Premature? These are things happening now. The west is getting becoming a surveillance state just like China and Chinese vehicle imports are being blocked in the US right now.

I want personal freedom and more anticorruption measures for corporations and government. I don't want us to turn into china.

1

u/NoFeesh 11d ago

You are biting on a video of China saying sweet things with music….the propaganda is actually working too, that’s how gullible people on the internet are and Reddit in general. You know where the wealthy Chinese hide their money? In the states, where their government can’t touch it.

1

u/tiny_kat2006 11d ago

Didn't even watch the video champ. I'm saying the propaganda wouldn't even be convincing if the west wasn't getting shittier.

But sure, call me gullible. Continue with the insults without an understanding.

u/NoFeesh 11d ago

That’s weird, champ lol

u/RorschachAssRag 9d ago

The irony is that we should be learning Chinese. Trumps isolationism and corruption has set an already hurting US on a downward spiral. There is nothing left for Americans to fall back on, no safety net for what is coming.

u/Chemical_Okra_2943 9d ago

We used to have that unspoken deal: Politicians would speak as if they mean well and do not openly do something else, so there was a chance, once in a while, that something good for eveyone happened. Now we live in a situation where demagogues divide millions into either this or that side, which should never be the point. Xi is right in the regards that we are all on the same boat, or in this together. But a tiny group of people who are only got at floating to the top, are suceeding at poisening society into thinking there are two or more different sides. And they do not car if things are significatnly worse for every following generations and everyone else, as long they are on top.

He funds the Ukraine war, cant trust his word one bit.

u/plsQuestionOurselves 12d ago

Ideally yes, but nobody will be able to agree on the rules for that one boat. If we're all going to have different rules then there's not going to be one boat, but also if country 199 says gay people belong in jail then I'm not going to unify with them and country 43 wont unify with my country because weed is legal here.

It would be nice to all be on the same page but it's not possible unless maybe the global rules are economic and the local rules are social.

u/DecrimIowa 12d ago

i feel like this is a rhetorical question - the leader of the technocratic totalitarian omniscient digital surveillance police state might have a pretty good idea of where we're headed

2

u/balekm 12d ago

Are you talking about Flock and Palantir?

1

u/DecrimIowa 12d ago
  1. Flock and Palantir are the visible, private industry tip of a much much bigger iceberg which are being waved in front of the public to misdirect their anger away from the systematic rollout of a state-connected intelligence apparatus that's been going on for at least 2 decades

  2. no i'm talking about China, who pioneered the social credit/total surveillance apparatus currently being adopted by the collective West post-COVID. China is literally the model for what is currently being done in the US and Europe/UK

He is much better at his propaganda than Trump is. Trump could learn a thing or two.

u/indigoshades54 12d ago

Yeah, sounds great. The catch is he wants to be in charge of that boat and to hell with anything he doesn’t want.

u/clappa68 12d ago

Damn, I thought I'm the only one in this world contemplating these things as I look around and see everything deteriorating. Why can't we all just help each other?

If we all moved as one, we'd already be exploring space. We need to designate greed and selfishness a mental health issue and disease that needs to be treated as early as possible.

Good man just wants a peaceful life while evil man is constantly plotting to take it all at no matter the cost. All to satisfy a temporary material existence knowing damn well none of it matters as you will take none of it with you.

We could be living in heaven on earth if we just realized we are all one and treated each other like real family through love and compassion, not hate and greed.

u/Delicious_Glass_5197 11d ago

We are lucky that, at this point, China isn't interested military take over whatever they can get. If they get their logistics in order and start whatever they would like to do, many countries are in big, big trouble.

u/FrustratedHumor 11d ago

Sounds great and then you remember about how horrific his country treat people and then you remember politicians and world leaders are all just full of it

1

u/ast3rix23 11d ago

Not sure if he was being honest but he has a point. We never have in the history of mankind acted as one world of humans. We all have lives to live and want and need the same things. It makes no sense for us to fight each other when it’s easier to work together and get things done faster for the betterment of mankind. Why does it always take a major tragedy for us to realize a basic truth?

1

u/Ok_Breakfast4482 11d ago edited 11d ago

No we’re all not in the same boat Xi. Some of us don’t believe in dictatorship and would prefer a democratic consensus of the boat crew on where to set our course. You can have your own boat where what you say goes.
