Xi Jinping, Seeking to Extend Power, May Bend Retirement Rules

[ChineseTiger1986]

When Trump questioned the One-China policy the Chinese on PDF abused him, called him an idiot, a fool, a child, etc. etc.

But now they're falling over each other to quote him, to extol him, become his fanboys and worship him for calling NYT 'fake news'.

The joys of irony

Nope, both Trump/GOP and Dem are the propagandists of the alternative fact, the only matter is that they both use to believe the alternative fact of the other side is fake, while their own version is 'true'.

Both Dem & GOP are jokers, it makes no difference for us, we have no preference at all, but just to pit them against each other.

NOT ONLY for China, but also for the worldwide mankind to see with their wide-opening eyes and mind the center nexus of the lies, provided any critical thoughts and common sense still exist after swallowing up all the pumped out lies for so long... practically since we're born, able to read and develop the cognitive capability until nowadays (don't think there's any octogenarian here).

Now the supporter base from both side hate each other gut, quite close to the tension of a forthcoming civil war.

Back to topic - Are future Chinese leaders named 5 years in advance? Must be an odd arrangement with such a long waiting period.

the next leader will not be named explicitly 5 years in advance. But he will be put in some crucial positions in advance, e.g. the standing committee of Politburo, vice chairman of the central military committee. So he could get at least 5years for training or "internship".

Even a company expects a true expert with rich experience to take the CEO role, needless to say a 1.4Bn population country with extremely complicated situations in almost all areas.

The next leader will surely not belong to a cabal of Tuanpai.

Tuanpai has been tainted and corrupted as fck, if they don't want to reform themselves, then most Chinese people will not want to see any of them to become the next leader.

Don't mix it, the first one (about One-China Policy) is about Trump's earlier political standing that we detest.

The second one is about Trump telling the truth to the world, that those mainstream media are indeed the Fake News (TM) manufacturer.

Whether you like or dislike Trump in person, as well as ourselves, mind you that opinions do not negate the fact that Donald Trump is a POTUS (President of the US), not just President of any Banana Republic, let alone the average Joe.

Thus there's no such irony. Is it too hard for you to grasp the baseline?

Let's Trump's own fake news versus the mainstream media's fake news, we just sit aside and enjoy this spectacular clown show.

"The failing @nytimes has been wrong about me from the very beginning. Said I would lose the primaries, then the general election. FAKE NEWS!"

"Thr coverage about me in the @nytimes and the @washingtonpost gas been so false and angry that the times actually apologized to its....."

"...dwindling subscribers and readers.They got me wrong right from the beginning and still have not changed course, and never will. DISHONEST"

Just another failing MSM rag.

Which is totally untrue.

New York times has actually dramatically increased its paid readership and subscriptions.

It is only because the mainstream media's fake news is now overpowering Trump's fake news. And Trump's haters are now outnumbering his supporters.

However, it doesn't change the fact that they are both fake news.

I was only responding to the total untruth said here, that somehow NYT is not doing well.

For media agencies it is doing very very well.

In fact no Chinese media agency doesn't even start coming CLOSE to the influence that NYT has.

The next leader will surely not belong to a cabal of Tuanpai.

Tuanpai has been tainted and corrupted as fck, if they don't want to reform themselves, then most Chinese people will not want to see any of them to become the next leader.

Corruption is one thing. But it is not the only thing.

Too much power with one person has always led to disaster.

As for Wang Qishan, we will get to know by the end of the year, if he is indeed retained in the Standing Committee.

The Numbers Don't Lie: The NYT Is Dying, And Digital Subscriptions Won't Save It
Mon, Feb 13, 2017

FAKE NEWS NYT was failing long before Trump pointed it out.

We understand that the New York Times claims it is some sort of special snowflake exception, and that in the "post-truth" world of Donald Trump people are throwing money at them, desperate for the truth. What a load of baloney.

As our friends at iBankCoin report,

The business has been cut in half since 2008. They’ve gone from raking in $300m per quarter in earnings to $40m. This isn’t a god damned online journal. The core business is print and there’s no way digital can make up for the lost ground in print, without having a profound effect on the way the company is staffed.

And here are some graphs of what failure looks like. Happy viewing:

Does this revenue trend look healthy to you?


Earnings are down 50-75% since 2008.



The stock has been cut in half over the past 8 years.



That’s what a slow death looks like, not a revival spearheaded by amazing digital revenue growth.

Yeah, sure: The New York Times is experiencing a surge in new digital subscriptions. "The business is saved!" They can claim whatever they want — that's well within their constitutional right to live in total self-denial.

But the numbers don't lie.

The NYT eliminated the paywall trying to attract readers.

NYT is as dishonest and sold-out to private interests as CNN which even provided debate questions to the DNC ahead of US elections.

What a shame. Who would take their news-making seriously. They are sham. Their mouth will speak for whoever feeds them.

As I pointed out - when he says something you like (such as NYT being fake news) he's POTUS - to be respected and cheered.

But when he questions the One-China policy he's a clown.

Selective amnesia is a wonderful thing.

Both Trump and NYT are clowns, so we just pit them against each other.

no need to explain to trolls, whose sole purpose is to vilify and demonize Chinese system. Let them hate, the Heir-apparent or crown prince is so common practice, trolls saying waiting for 5 years is weird, how long has Prince Charles waited?

Good, I hope Xi becomes the leader of China for a very long time because it makes the indians cry harder.
