I lived in china for 12 years, what I saw was the great majority are dirt poor peasants, well aware of their position, well aware of exactly what the ruling class is.
They have a major issue there, being the tenure and ownership of land. All those massive buildings, that are 'worth' billions, are on land owned by, and leased from, those peasants, displaced for that purpose, and given peanuts in exchange.
They can see just what the value is now and those 'leases' are all 70 year duration, which is coming due for re-negotiation right about now.
The ruling class - the military - have a dilemma. Claim ownership and spark an uprising of the great majority of the people, or make a huge payout to the actual owners?
What I saw, was that the peasants are very angry, and very ready, to reclaim their country.
I saw this in village uprisings against the local representatives of the 'govt', occurring each week.
Even among the 'middle' classes, minor disagreements with local 'govt' crooks quickly escalated into violence, regardless of the well known consequences.
In my opinion, it won't take much of a spark to set that place alight.
Jezzzus ... I read deeper and the tyranny is bonkers.
I have a weird idea that an EM-pulse nuclear attack is the very last thing our self appointed gods want to happen. Unplugging everyone for a few weeks might restore sanity to the plebs, then where would the rulers of this world be?
There are quite a few American black people that are Christian. I have trouble wrapping my mind around that, given they might well have been brought here as slaves, and ended up adopting the religion of their enslavers. Same for Native Americans who practice Christianity, the disconnect is quite confusing to me. The book Stringing Rosaries by Lajidmodiere is a good book on American Indian Christian boarding school survivors.

Interesting Ray. In the 50's mainland simplified the characters but Taiwan retained the complex original. Japan is closer to Taiwan's usage. Mandarin is hard because of the pronunciation and gobs of words that sound similar but the grammar isn't so hard. Japanese is easier to pronounce, grammar has some twists but after getting a dozen rules down its not so bad, but they also have gobs of words used in specific situations, 2-3 levels of politeness that can get a bit dazzling, and use 2 auxiliary written syllabaries that take some time to get used to. Proton Magic & Co has recently sent China a Christine Massey FOI on the proof of a virus there, their reply probably wont be hard to read because it will be just as blank as the package inserts for the shots.
There's a lot of similarities in the stories of early Islam (6th/7th CE) and Judaism at the time. And the stories are similar, maybe the same stories in fact. And Judaism took its stories from the Greeks. In there somewhere, likely on the Islam side, are the Persians.
Interesting read Ray. I know nothing of China. But Melbourne, where I am now, is very Chinese especially in the CBD where it's probably about 80-90% Chinese.
