當中國面對大批蝗蟲侵襲時,地方官員說,這種現象將會是新的常態
據稱,美國正計劃要求中國減少它駐美外交官人數
中共的宣傳戰對中國人民來說開始失去效果
在香港,執政當局取消了包括黃之鋒(Joshua Wong)在內的12名民主派候選人
在即將到來的香港立法會選舉的候選資格。歡迎大家,先分享一些重大新聞
根據一份中共農業農村部7月27日發表的聲明,
蝗蟲從國外飛進中國,在未來可能將會成為新的常態
該部只強調說,蝗蟲是從國外入侵中國的
但是並沒有提到蝗災已經在中國很多地方肆虐,它聲稱該問題是”可預防的、可控的”

English: 
As china faces swarms of locusts local officials are saying this will be the new norm
The united states is allegedly planning to order china to reduce its number of diplomats in the united states
And the ccp's war propaganda is starting to lose its effectiveness among the chinese people
Meanwhile in hong kong the local government has disqualified 12 pro-democracy candidates including joshua
Wang from running in the upcoming election for the legislative council. Welcome back everyone first off some breaking news
Locusts coming into china from abroad may become a new norm according to a july 27 statement from the ccp's ministry
of agriculture and rural affairs
Now the ministry only emphasized that locus invaded china from abroad
But did not explain that locus plague is already ravaging many parts of china. It's claiming the issue is quote preventable and controllable

Chinese: 
黃脊竹蝗是從老撾(寮國)遷徙至中國雲南邊境的
截至7月26日,黃脊竹蝗已經出現在三個省六個縣,
面積約23,000英畝的區域。該部於7月27日召開了會議說
蝗蟲的出現 “時間早,峰次多,蟲量大”
它還指出,” 近5年黃脊竹蝗從境外遷入
頻率增加,
將來可能成為常態”
中共在每次提及蝗蟲時都強調來自國外
《大紀元》收集了各個當地媒體的報導,統整的結果顯示
蝗蟲已經在中國大陸廣泛蔓延
一些網友還評論說,蝗災已經蔓延開來,程度嚴重到中共黨官不想承認

English: 
The yellow spine locust moved from laos to the border of yunnan China
As of july 26 the yellow spine locust had been in three states and six counties
And covered an area of around 23 000 acres now when the ministry held a meeting on july 27th
It stated locusts quote came early with many peaks and large amounts of insects
It also stated that the quote frequency of migration
Of the yellow spine bamboo locusts from abroad has increased in the past five years and it may become a norm slash
usual in the future
Now the ccp emphasized from abroad with each mention of the locust and the ministry only emphasized that the locusts are invading
China from outside the Epoch times compiled local media reports to show that the locusts have already spread heavily through mainland
china
Some netizens are also commenting that the locust plague has already spread and it's too advanced for the chinese communist party's officials to admit

English: 
Meanwhile, local farmers in china are saying government subsidies have been of little help in addition to the floods the locusts and existing food shortages
During the pandemic lockdowns
china's food supplies have suffered
Disasters now chinese media recently exposed multiple fires in grain storage facilities in multiple regions of china
the ccp office in charge of grain reserves in Heilongjiang
Recently revealed that there are quality problems in the one-time grain storage facilities and a large amount of quote
Sieve is hidden under the moldy grain a farmer in hunan a mr. Chen spoke with the epoch times in an interview
He believes that by the end of this year grain supplies in china will be very tight
He said this quote there has been fires and many granaries recently mold and worms are also found in the granaries
There is also grain storage fraud therefore
I am greatly concerned about food security this year as for the large-scale locust plagues. Mr. Chen said this year is very extraordinary

Chinese: 
在此同時,地方農民說,政府補貼杯水車薪,於事無補。除了洪水、蝗蟲、糧食短缺之外
在疫情大流行的封鎖期間
中國的糧食供應遭遇危機
中國媒體最近揭露,有好幾個地區的糧食儲存設施發生了大火
中共黑龍江省負責糧食儲備的當局最近透露,
一次性儲備糧的儲存設備存在著質量問題,導致大量「發霉的篩下物」
湖南一位姓陳的農民在接受《大紀元》採訪時說
他認為到今年年底,中國的穀物供應將非常緊張
他說,”許多糧倉發生了火災,許多糧倉也發霉和長蟲,
加上穀物儲備又有監守自盜,
因此,我對今年的糧食安全感到極度擔憂。” 對於大規模的蝗災,陳姓農民表示今年相當異常

Chinese: 
他說,”蝗蟲經常四處遷徙,很容易會入侵中國,很難說會發生什麼事。”
蝗蟲已經導致全世界的糧食價格上漲,勢必也將影響到中國
他又接著說,
“現今,可耕地被棄置的情況非常嚴重,沒有人種植糧食,一定會導致糧食短缺。”
江西省鄱陽縣的一位李姓農民還告訴《大紀元》,中國的農業危機四伏
務農無法賺到錢。因此,農民棄置可耕地的問題變得越來越嚴重
他說,”五十多歲的人是年紀最輕的農民,40歲以下的人不是真實的農民,
他們僅僅是註冊掛名的農民。”
中共今年發布了另一份中央一號文件,強調今年的穀物生產
不論是政策、面積、產量都將保持穩定
該文件又說,省、市、縣的地方官員應對糧食安全負起負責

English: 
He said quote locusts migrate frequently and they're very likely to invade china
It's hard to say what will happen the locusts have caused food prices to increase all over the world and will also affect
China, and he added quote nowadays
The abandonment of cultivated land is very serious and no one grows food, which will also cause food shortage. Mr
Li a farmer in poyang county in jiangxi province also told the Epoch times that chinese agriculture is very dangerous
Money can't be made from farming. And so the issue of farmers abandoning cultivated land is becoming very serious
He said quote people in their 50s are the youngest farmers those under the age of 40 are not real
They are only registered as farmers
Now the ccp issued another central document this year emphasizing that grain production
Should be stable in terms of policies areas and yields
It holds that local officials in providence and cities and counties are accountable for food security

English: 
Increased rewards are given from major grain producing counties and it also gives subsidies to rice corn and soybean producers
However, mr
chen said that while the government has increased some subsidies the actual subsidies are little and are barely enough to
incentivize farmers to work
He said quote the average family has only two to three mu of land
Which is about a third to half an acre total and the cost of planting rice seedlings and harvesting pesticides and fertilizers
So on is several thousand yuan calculate it
You can only make 300 to 500 yuan per move the government gives a subsidy of 100 yuan per move and does not help much
Now 300 yuan would be around 42
And 51 would be about 71 dollars
Meanwhile, when it comes to the ccp virus the situation appears to be growing worse in xinjiang
Where there are now two cities on lockdown
And where the virus appears to be spreading elsewhere overnight local authorities announced close to 100 new confirmed cases
And say they're still not able to find the source of the outbreak

Chinese: 
主要的穀物生產縣已經開始提高獎勵,並且還向種植稻米、玉米、大豆的農民提供補貼
不過,李姓農民說
雖然政府增加了一些補貼,但實際補貼很低
很難激勵農民從事種植
他說,”平均每個家庭只有兩到三畝地(大約三分之一到半英畝),
種植水稻的幼苗、收割、農藥、肥料等等的成本,
就是幾千元(人民幣),算一算,
每畝只能賺個300到500元(人民幣)。政府每畝給100元的補貼,幫助並不大。”
300元人民幣大約是美金42元
500元人民幣大約是美金71元
我們接下來談談中共病毒,新疆的情況似乎越來越嚴重
現在有兩個城市處於封鎖狀態
病毒似乎在往其他地方散播。昨晚,地方當局宣布有近100例新確診病例
而他們仍然找不到疫情爆發的源頭

English: 
Of course the ccp has a record of suppressing data on the number of cases
So the numbers are never quite reliable and also local officials are
Incentivized to suppress data on cases as well
Now with that said authorities in xinjiang issued a warning stating they will search for people who quote spread false rumors
Of the epidemic among the so-called rumors that were spread on july 25
For example where allegations at several cities in the western regions of xinjiang would be placed on lockdown
This included karamay and Yiling
the local government immediately issued a warning threatening to investigate
criminal behavior of spreading false rumors about the closure of the city and disturbing the people
However, only a few hours after the warning the government locked down Karamay in Yiling at four am local time on july 27th
Meanwhile, while these strange seed packets from china are being sent unsolicited to people in the united states the uk and canada

Chinese: 
當然,中共有壓低確診案件數量的記錄
因此,這些數字從來都不是很可靠
地方官員也被鼓勵低報案例數
新疆當局發出警告,聲稱他們將找出”散佈疫情謠言的人”
在這些所謂的謠言中,就有消息說7月25日當天
新疆西部有幾個城市即將被封鎖
其中包括克拉瑪依與伊犁
當地政府立即發出警告,威脅要針對
散佈不實的封城謠言,導致擾民的行為展開犯罪調查
但是,警告發出僅僅幾個小時後,政府就於當地時間7月27日凌晨四點封鎖了克拉瑪依以及伊犁
另外,有不明種子包,從中國被不請自來的遞送到美國、英國、加拿大的收件者

English: 
Taiwanese officials are claiming that some of the seed packets that came through taiwan did not originate in taiwan a packet of seeds
That was sent to canada was found to have been shipped through Taiwan
And taiwanese postal officials say the seeds had also been shipped through taiwan from elsewhere as focused taiwan reported that on july 30th
the chunghwa post office in taiwan confirmed
That it shipped the package for a private logistics company that had brought the packet into taiwan from a client
And in other news the washington times published an exclusive report alleging
The trump administration is preparing to order china to reduce its diplomats
In the united states to levels equal to the number of u.s diplomats
Allowed in china now the report cited unnamed senior state department officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity
Part of the move is allegedly to reduce the burden on fbi
Counterintelligence agents who have close to 2000 agents focused on arresting chinese spies and agents

Chinese: 
台灣官員聲稱,從台灣運送過去的種子包並非源自於台灣
有一包送進加拿大的,已經被證實是經過台灣轉運的
台灣郵政官員說,種子來自於其他地方,透過台灣轉運。據《中央通訊社Focus Taiwan》 7月30日的報導
台灣中華郵政公司確認
它是為一家私人物流公司處理這個郵包,而該私人公司又是接受另一客戶委託,將種子包引入台灣
在其他新聞方面,《華盛頓時報》發表了獨家報導,稱
川普政府正準備要求中國,把中國駐美外交官人數
降低到與美國駐中國外交官人數相同的水平
該報導是引述了不願具名的國務院高級官員的談話
據稱,此舉的部分宗旨在於減輕聯邦調查局(FBI)
裡近2,000名情報人員的負擔,他們被指派來專職從事逮捕中國間諜和特工

Chinese: 
在這之前,美國才剛下令關閉休斯頓的中國領事館,而中共也採取了報復行動
關閉了美國駐成都領事館。該報告引述一位未具名的美國高級官員說,
“我們希望在八月份,雙方就要在人數水平以及訪問權限上取得對等。”
更廣泛的來看今天發生的這些事情,
當美國駐成都領事館被中共下令關閉時,它在推特上發表聲明說,
”今天,我們向我們的駐成都領事館說再見,我們會一直想念著您們。
《大紀元》報導說,中國網友發表評論支持美國領事館。在這些評論中,有的說,
”當中國擺脫了中共的極權統治,回歸為文明國家時,歡迎您再回來,但願這一天很快到來。”
另一位網友寫道,
“當共產匪黨被摧毀時,你們就會回來!”
對比鮮明的是:當中共駐休斯頓領事館被關閉,中共領事蔡偉發表公開信之後,美國公民的反應。

English: 
This also comes after the united states ordered the closure of the chinese consulate in houston and after the ccp retaliated
By closing the u.s consulate in chengdu china now the report quotes an unnamed senior u.s
official stating quote by august we want reciprocal levels and access
Now for the broader stories for today when the u.s
Consulate in chengdu was ordered to close by the ccp. It posted it on twitter stating quote today. We bid farewell to the u.s
Consulate in chengdu we will always miss you as Epoch times reported chinese internet users
Responded by supporting the us consulate among these comments was quote when china gets rid of the ccp's
Totalitarian rule and returns to a civilized country you are welcome to come back
May this day come soon another wrote quote
You will come back when the communist bandits are destroyed
As was shown in sharp contrast to reactions among american citizens when the ccp's consulate in houston was closed after chinese consul Cai wei

English: 
His open letter americans didn't appear to send their best or expressed hopes that the ccp would soon return now this shows something important
the main concern of the chinese people when the consulate was closed in chengdu
Was that the americans were leaving and the idea of the united states was leaving with them
They talked about how when the chinese communist bandits are gone that the u.s could come back
And they were saying that they hoped the u.s could come back soon when the chinese consulate closed in the u.s
That was not the reaction
The reaction was largely. Well, you know, it's a totalitarian regime and you know, possibly doing different forms of espionage out of it
most people by this point accept and understand
That the chinese communist party does a lot of spying on americans and that it uses different operations
To steal intellectual property if there was any pushback by americans. It was out of concern of a diplomatic breakdown between the u.s
and china
But this highlights something important the different ideas of how these countries are viewed
Americans typically don't view the chinese communist party as a system that brings freedom

Chinese: 
美國人看來並沒有表達任何希望中共很快回來的祝願。這樣的對照告訴我們很重要的一點
當成都領事館關閉時,中國人民主要的關切是
美國人要離開了,而美國人的思維風格也將隨之銷蹤匿跡
他們談論到了,當中共匪黨被剷除後,美國可以再回來
他們說,他們希望美國領事館能盡快回來
但是當中國駐休士頓領事館關閉時,反應不是那樣
如同您知道的,這樣反應大體上說明著中共是個極權政權,很可能它們就是在領事館裡從事著各種不同形式的間諜活動
到目前為止,大多數人都理解並接受
中共對美國人做了很多間諜活動,並且採取了各種行動
來竊取知識產權。如果美國人有任何隱憂,那應該是美國與中國之間
外交關係是否會全面破裂
但這點出了一些重點,即這些國家是如何被認定的
美國人通常不認為中國共產黨是自由的體制

English: 
Whereas the chinese people at least based on their comments
View the us as a symbol of freedom and they viewed the removal of the u.s consulate from chengdu as a loss of that freedom
Now in other news sino insider had a great piece of analysis that I wanted to delve into a bit more
Now it noted an important point when it comes to u.s sanctions against ccp leaders and businesses
Which we're seeing a lot more of now and even when the ccp tries to strike back at the united states in tit-for-tat
Retaliations the ccp and especially its leadership
Has a lot more to lose than the united states does now this comes down to a fundamental and easily overlooked point
Ccp officials tend to send their children abroad to study and send their relatives and assets abroad
If they're hit by sanctions these sanctions hit deep and taken to the broader context of what's at risk for them
And with the us even proposing a travel ban on all 90 million communist party members in china

Chinese: 
相反地,中國人至少根據他們的說法
將美國視為自由的象徵 ,而且他們認為關閉成都的美國領事館是對自由的一種損失
下一則新聞,《透視中國》有不錯的分析報導,我想更深入去探討一下
它談到了美國對中共領導人和企業的制裁,指出了一個重要的觀點
我們現在看到了更多,甚至是在中共試圖針鋒相對報復反擊美國時
中共,尤其是其領導層
會比美國損失的更多。這可以歸結為一個基本且容易被忽視的觀點
中共官員傾向於將子女送往國外學習,並將其親戚和財產送往國外
如果他們受到制裁,這些制裁對他們面臨的風險影響深遠
美國甚至提議對中國所有9,000萬共產黨員實行旅行禁令

English: 
This is causing quite a stir now
The important point here is what it means within the ccp's own political system and with infighting among ccp officials
all of this puts additional pressure on ccp leader xi jinping
And it has a direct impact on the stability of the party itself now sino insider reports this quote
The more officials are sanctioned the more Xi will find himself under pressure
from factional rivals in the regime elite many of whom already hold him
responsible for the ccp's foreign policy fiascos
So on this note
What are the signs of internal instability within the chinese communist party and also would other ccp officials dare to stand up against xi?
Now when a lot of people interpret china a lot of people try to interpret the ccp
They see xi jinping is kind of the supreme leader, right? He's the individual who controls all of china
He's the head of the chinese communist party and also he got rid of term limits meaning that he's in for good essentially
Now, what does this really mean? What is the real situation in china?

Chinese: 
這將引起很大的騷動
現在的重點是,這在中共自身的政治體系以及中共官員間的鬥爭中代表著
所有這些都給中共領導人習近平帶來更多的壓力
而且直接影響著中共政權內部的穩定。《 透視中國》報導
「(中共)官員受到的制裁愈多,習近平就愈會受到
來自敵對派系精英的壓力,他們中的許多人已經要求他對中共的
外交政策失敗負全部責任。」
根據這則報導
可以看出中共內部不穩定的跡象何在?是否還有其他的中共官員敢站出來反對習近平?
現在很多人在分析中國時,很多人試圖在分析中國共產黨時
他們視習近平為最高領導人,對吧?他是控制整個中國的人
他是中國共產黨的最高領導人。他擺脫了任期限制,這意味著他基本上永遠是對的
但現在實際意味著什麼?中國的實際情況是什麼?

English: 
The real situation in china is that you have different factions within the ccp itself many of which are against xi
And also you have different breakings happening within the ccp itself now, you know
Not just among the top level officials, but even among provincial level officials
We saw again
For example during the virus outbreaks that local officials were disobeying higher commands china is risking a system of say balkanization
Where it you know does risk splitting into different countries based on this alone. And also when there's pressure against these individual politicians
these individual ccp officials they've turned their eyes to xi jinping and they view him as being
Responsible for what is taking place
They see him as the pilot of this large ship and they see him having say establish new forms of control over the ccp
Where now He does control a lot of different parts of the country, although not all of them
We'll get into that a bit later
They see him
You know basically steering this ship and if they see him steering it the wrong way they hold him personally responsible for it

Chinese: 
中國的真實情況是,在中國共產黨內部不同的派系,有許多都是反對習近平的
而且,中國共產黨內部有很多分裂
不僅在高層官員中,甚至在省級官員中也是
可以看到
例如,在病毒爆發期間,地方官員不服從上級命令,中國面臨著地方割據的風險
確實有可能就因此分裂成不同的國家。而且當這些政治人物面臨壓力時
這些中共官員,把焦點指向了習近平,他們認為習近平
應該對正在發生的事情負責
他們認為他是這艘大船(中國)的領導人,並且看到他(習)說他要建立新的對中國共產黨的控制形式
他現在的確控制了很大一部分的中國,雖然不是全部
我們之後會討論
他們看他(習)
基本上只是看著他掌舵這艘船,當他們看到他走錯了,他們就要他(習)個人負責

English: 
Which means that Xi is facing internal instability within the party and as pressure mounts against individual ccp leaders
That pressure on Xi also mounts. now faced with this situation what can Xi do?
Well, you could say that he could you know
Give some ground and fold to some of the us pressure say reform some of the hostile actions of the ccp
But if you understand the real situation in china, that may not be an option
Conceding ground to the u.s would be seen as a weakness in some regards now
They might say for example sign an agreement
And as soon as the ink dries before it even dries begin violating it
Because they understand that if they sign an agreement with the u.s the process of the u.s
You know finding that violations took place and launching investigations and coming out with reports and then responding to it will likely take years
As far as they concerned that that's post-trump that's part of another era when it comes to foreign policy. So what do they do?

Chinese: 
這意味著習近平面臨黨內內部的動盪,而且當個別中共高層的壓力越來越大
給習近平的壓力也在增加。面對現在這種情況,習近平能做什麼?
好吧,你可以說他可以
在美國的壓力下低頭,改革中共具敵意的(外交)行動
但是,如果你了解中國的實際情況,那可能不會是一個選擇
現在,在某些方面,對美國的讓步會被視為一個弱點
他們可能會說,以簽署一項協議為例
在墨水變乾之前就開始違反它
因為他們了解如果他們與美國簽署協議
美國對於(中方)發生違約行為到發起調查活動,再集結成報告並對此回應,可能要花上幾年的時間
就他們而言,那已經是後川普時代的事了,是下一個時代的外交政策的事了。 所以他們怎麼做?

Chinese: 
就習近平而言,他現在正在做的是背離鄧小平的這種軟實力
外交政策。 鄧小平,是好幾代前的(中共)領導人
他是(中共)推動改革開放的人
鄧小平堅信與其他國家互動時,採用這種表面友好的虛假政策。但習近平捨棄這個做法
習近平正在用戰狼外交手段,這是從中國動作片引用來的一個低俗名字
但那是什麼呢?
中共會,如果你批評中共,他們會基於同樣的理由批評回去
如果你對中共採取制裁行動,他們會以同樣的理由制裁回去
以此類推。他們面對一切都以充滿敵意的態度來回應
這導致中共在國際上確實失去了很多朋友。所以當面對諸如政策方面的回應
嗯,同樣的,在制裁和其他行動上,中共還會出現更多的損失

English: 
Well when it comes to xi what he's doing right now is he's walking back on deng xiaoping's policy of this soft power
form of diplomacy again deng xiaoping a few leaders back
He was the one who did the reforms and opening up to the west
Deng xiaoping believed in using this friendly veneer when it came to interacting with other countries xi jinping has thrown that out
Xi jinping is using wolf warrior diplomacy and it's it's a cheap name pulled from a chinese action film
But basically what it entails is this again
The ccp meets like with like if you criticize the ccp they will criticize you back on the same grounds
If you sanction the ccp, they will sanction you back on the same grounds
So on and so on they meet like with like they respond to everything with hostility
And this is causing the ccp to actually lose a lot of friends internationally and when it comes to this meeting like with like policy
Well, again, the chinese communist party has a whole lot more to lose when it comes to things like sanctions and other initiatives

English: 
And on this note too expanding on it these systems of power in china are more complicated than they appear at the surface again
While xi jinping is the head of the ccp
And got rid of term limits and is widely seen as being the supreme leader of china again. This isn't really the case
There are factional battles and different factions control different assets and parts of the country
Now Xi's faction has been fighting with the others the main one being that of Jiang Zemin who was the ccp leader two leaders ago
At the same time Xi has been consolidating power and his faction now does control quite a bit of china
generally, it controls the military public security bureau and the
paramilitary people's armed police
Some analysts are now pointing out that it appears
Xi is looking to take back the financial structures in china and by ending hong kong's autonomy
demonstrated that
Establishing control over these systems is more important to him and to the ccp leadership
Than even to the ccp's economy and foreign diplomacy
Now as an example of this
We looked at diversified investment company tomorrow holding

Chinese: 
報導說,在中國要去擴張自己的權力體系,要比表面上看到的更為複雜
習近平是中國共產黨的領導人
並免去了任期限制,被公認是中國的最高領導人。但事實並非如此
他們有派系之爭,而且不同的派系控制著(中國)不同的資產和地區
現在習近平的派系一直在與其他派系鬥爭,主要是江澤民那派的。江澤民是前二任的中共領導人
一直以來,習近平一直在鞏固權力,他的派系現在確實控制了相當大的一部分中國
一般來說,它控制著軍事公安局和
中國人民武裝警察部隊
現在一些分析人士指出
習近平正尋求收回中國的金融(系統),並透過結束香港的自治
來證明
建立對這些系統的控制權對他和中共領導層來說
甚至比中共的經濟和外交更為重要
現在有一個例子
我們看到一家多元化投資的公司「明天控股有限公司」(Tomorrow Holding)

Chinese: 
投資範圍涵括了銀行、保險、房地產開發及煤炭水泥和稀土礦產
《中國聚焦》 在2015年指出
該公司被指控為中國股市崩盤的原因之一
當時被視為是針對習近平的未成功金融政變
從這些內部派系鬥爭來說,那家公司的負責人是
肖建華,2017年在香港被捕,並被送回中國大陸
目前下落不明。最近在7月17日
《中國聚焦》 報導中國銀行和保險監督管理委員會
宣布將接管明天控股公司的四家保險公司和兩家信託公司
這意味著除了對公司採取的接管行動外,當局還沒收了大約
1,710億美元的資產

English: 
Which is involved in banking insurance real estate development coal cement and rare earth minerals
China scope noted that in 2015
This company was accused of being part of china's stock market crash
Which was regarded at that time as an attempted financial coup against xi
Again taken in context of these internal say factional battles. Now the head of that company was. Xiao
Jianhua, who was arrested in 2017 in hong kong and was sent back to mainland
China his whereabouts are still unknown and recently on july 17th
His china scope notes the china banking and insurance regulatory commission
Announced it would take over four insurance companies and two trusts
From tomorrow holding now this meant in addition to other actions taken against the company that authorities seized roughly
171 billion dollars in assets

English: 
Now tomorrow holding responded a day later by publishing a quote solemn statement on chinese social media site wechat
It said the company had cooperated with ccp authorities said authorities quote spared no effort to push for the
Takeover and question the agenda behind the move. The statement was pulled down just hours later now
We should note in passing that that company does have very close ties to the jiang faction
And again, this is seen as part of the factional battles within china
But it ties to some deeper things as well
First off, of course that the ccp can take over companies whenever it wants
It is not a normal capitalist society the state capitalism
meaning socialism essentially or socialism with chinese characteristics
As the ccp would describe it. It's state capitalism the state controls the capitalist systems
China scope cites elmer yuen
Also who is a hong kong businessman and activists we've had previously on this show
Explaining some of the deeper context of what we're currently seeing
He said this ties closely to infighting among ccp leaders

Chinese: 
明天控股公司事隔一天在中國的社交媒體—微信—上發表了鄭重聲明
該公司稱,該公司一直與中共當局進行合作,但當局一直「不遺餘力地推動接管」
並質疑此舉背後的目的。數小時後,該聲明被撤下
我們應該順便指出,這家公司確實與江派有非常緊密的聯繫
再一次,這被視為中國內部派系鬥爭的一部分
但它也有更深層的涵意
首先當然就是,中共可以隨時接管任何公司,只要它想
它不是正常的資本主義社會,是國家資本主義
本質上是社會主義或中國特色社會主義
就如同中共自己所說的,是國家資本主義,由國家來控制資本主義制度
《中國聚焦》引用袁弓夷
一位香港實業家和民主人士的話,我們在以前的節目中曾邀請過他
幫助我們了解目前(中共)現狀背後更深層的原因
他說這些都跟中共高層內鬥緊密相關

English: 
And a summary of a statement says this quote the retired former top leaders are pressing xi jinping
Xi is pushing Jiang Zemin and his faction
To bring back the money that they pocketed earlier now that Xi has control over the military public security and the armed police
His next battle is the financial power now, of course
Whether Xi could achieve that and also the stability of china's financial system are still questionable
But this does point to the infighting taking place behind the scenes
And at the same time this should be viewed in context of what we just went over a bit ago
Factor in the u.s sanctions against chinese businesses and against ccp officials
And also the additional pressure that that is placing on xi's faction when it comes to political
infighting now meanwhile ccp propaganda attempting to rile up sentiments about the united states and also
Preparations for war don't appear to be taking hold among many chinese people now rfa is reporting that while the ccp

Chinese: 
一份聲明摘要說,這句話引述了已退休的前最高領導人對習近平的呼籲。
習近平正在推動江澤民和他的派系帶回他們早些時候賺到的錢。
現在習近平已經控制了軍事公安和武警,
他的下一場戰鬥是財務權力。當然,如今,
習近平能否實現這一目標,以及中國金融體系的穩定性,仍然值得懷疑。
但這確實表明了內鬥的發生,
與此同時,應該在我們剛剛討論的內容的背景下進行觀察。
美國對中國企業和中共官員的制裁,
以及在政治內訌問題上對習近平派系施加的額外壓力。
與此同時,中共的宣傳企圖煽動人們對美國的情緒,

Chinese: 
戰爭準備似乎也沒有在許多中國人中紮根。現在,《自由亞洲電台(RFA)》報導說,當中共舉行核防禦演習時,
這是在進行反美文宣,並在採取其他類似的措施。
中國人民似乎不再買帳,
相反,它注意到,旨在煽動對美仇恨的文宣和演習,
正產生相反的效果,從較輕的一方被視為中共的標準做法,
而在更關鍵的方面被視為中共無能的標誌。
我們在這裡看到了什麼?現在中國人熟悉中共的文宣策略了嗎?
這是一個很重要的問題,我們可以看看中國的線民,
現在他們有各種各樣的方法來繞過中國共產黨的審查,當中國共產黨想說
一些責備中共領導人習近平的言論時,他們不得不審查3萬5千多個不同的短語,
因為中國人民非常瞭解不同形式的審查制度,他們已經形成了各種各樣的細微差別
和方法來指代中共腐敗和習近平,以至於中共審查機構
需要你知道

English: 
Is holding nuclear defense drills as launching anti-american propaganda and is using other measures like this
The chinese people no longer appear to be buying it instead
It notes the propaganda and drills meant to incite hatred against the united states are having the opposite effect
from being seen as standard practice of the ccp on the lighter end to being a sign of
incompetence by the ccp on the more critical end
So what are we seeing here? now are the chinese people familiar with the ccp's propaganda tactics?
This is an important question to ask we can look to china's netizens now
They have all kinds of ways of getting around ccp censorship when the ccp wants to say
Censor terms that would criticize ccp leader xi jinping they have to censor over 35 000 different phrases
because the chinese people are so aware of the different forms of censorship that they've developed all kinds of
Nuances and ways of referring to ccp corruption and to xi jinping to the extent that ccp censorship bodies
Need to have you know

English: 
Just over 35 000 terms just to censor discussions on xi and so on that note I would say the answer is yes
Chinese people are absolutely aware of the different propaganda tactics the ccp uses
Which means that if they can understand the mechanisms behind it
These propaganda tactics are not nearly as effective as a ccp would like them to be
And also another question would the ccp resort to war?
And why are they holding nuclear drills couple points on this when it comes to the chinese communist party at least in my analysis
They would not go to open warfare unless they absolutely had to if you want to talk about their forms for open warfare
Well, that would be more surprise attack or things they have further down the line
They would need to develop their military much further now different analysts
For example even question whether the ccp could even win a war against taiwan
Let alone a war for example would likely bring in Japan
Australia, the united states many parts of europe and many other countries as well
And a question too is why are they holding these nuclear drills?
Well for the chinese people, this is partly fear

Chinese: 
超過35000個術語,僅僅是為了審查關於習近平的討論等等,我想說答案是肯定的。
中國人民完全知道中國共產黨使用的不同的文宣策略,
這意味著他們可以理解其背後的機制。
這些宣傳策略並不像中共所希望的那樣有效,
而且另外一個問題是中共是否會訴諸戰爭?
而且,至少在我看來,為什麼在中國共產黨方面,他們為什麼要對此持有核演習的幾點意見,
他們是不會去公開戰爭的,除非他們是絕對必須的,如果你想談論他們的公開戰爭形式的話。
好吧,那將是更多的突襲或其他事情。
他們需要與其他分析師一起進一步發展自己的軍事力量。
例如,甚至質疑中共是否會贏得對台灣的戰爭。
更不用說戰爭了,比如說,日本、
澳大利亞、美國、歐洲許多地區和其他許多國家也可能被捲入戰爭。
還有一個問題是他們為什麼要舉行核演習?
對中國人民來說,這在一定程度上

English: 
If a war were to take place in china china has all kinds of nuclear power plants and any kind of bombings
Any kind of direct war would also include nuclear fallout at least based on their propaganda and analysis
And so here's another question if that is taking place
If very likely the ccp would not have open warfare if they're holding these nuclear drills more
So for just say internal propaganda are the chinese people aware of this? it does appear so.
And based on this analysis based on statements that rfa even had from locals in china
It does appear the chinese people are becoming numb to the different propaganda tactics
The ccp is using and to the different say party phrases it is using and different methods
It's taking to try to rile them up in hatred against foreign enemies. instead they're turning that against the ccp
They're criticizing the ccp and they're seeing the ccp as being incompetent
Now in other news the ccp appears to be taking several steps to ensure its hold on key resources around the world

Chinese: 
是擔心如果中國發生戰爭,中國有各種各樣的核能電廠和任何類型的爆炸。
任何形式的直接戰爭也會包括核輻射,至少根據他們的文宣和分析。
所以這裡還有一個問題,如果真的發生了,
如果中國共產黨繼續舉行核演習,中國共產黨很可能不會有公開戰爭。
那麼,就說內部文宣,中國人知道這一點嗎?看來確實如此。
基於這一分析,《自由亞洲電台(RFA)》甚至從中國當地人那裡得到了一些聲明。
看來中國人對不同的文宣策略已經麻木了。
中國共產黨正在使用不同的政黨用語和不同的方法,
試圖激起他們對外敵的仇恨。相反,他們在反對中共,
責備中共,認為中共無能。
現在在其他新聞中,中國共產黨似乎正在採取一些措施來確保其對全球主要資源的控制。

Chinese: 
《路透社(Reuters)》報導稱,中國正計劃制定更嚴格的鋼鐵產能互換規則,
該規則已於今年年初停止,並將擴大到使用產能互換的關鍵領域。
澳大利亞的鐵報告指出,儘管澳大利亞在外交上對中國共產黨
採取了更强硬的立場,
並反對其對南中國海的主張,
中國當局一直在反擊澳大利亞的經濟,而且
在外交上,還有一個行業沒有受到打擊,那就是鋼鐵。
這被視為中共需要澳大利亞的鐵,而且這種需要甚至超過了其外交利益。

reuters reports that china is planning stricter rules for steel capacity swaps
Which were stopped at the beginning of the year and will also expand to key areas
In which they are used when it comes to iron reports in australia have noted that while the country is taking a stronger stance
against the ccp
Diplomatically and against its claims of the south china sea
authorities in china have been hitting back against the australian economy and also
Diplomatically yet one industry hasn't been hit which is iron
This is being taken as a sign that the ccp needs australia's iron and that this need surpasses even its diplomatic interests
