China using exit bans to keep Americans in China for years – September 15, 2019,

So according to the USA Today post, I’m linking to

“China uses exit bans coercively,” the State Department cautioned, “to compel U.S. citizens to participate in Chinese government investigations, to lure individuals back to China from abroad, and to aid Chinese authorities in resolving civil disputes in favor of Chinese parties.”

So, to all you freedom fighters from the Left, this is another reminder of what happens under a big government totalitarian regime. Also to all you gold bugs on the political Right, this is why Gold prices have been so stagnant even though Russia and China have been stockpiling so much gold. For those of you on the Crypto side of things, this is why I’ve been saying that Crypto-currencies is a sign that the Central bankers and these architects of fiat money and Fractional reserve banking, better pull the plug on these schemes before China and other totalitarian regimes really attempt a technocratic takeover.

China is growing in size and clearly they’ve reached a point in which they’re able to bully even U.S citizen. Now, many have heard what China has plans to execute 2 Canadians in China, the current Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been silent. Now, obviously I assume things would be different if China threatened to execute Americans living in China, but yet and still, China uses exit bans should ring some alarm bells to those of you who believe China under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party will be leaders in the Free World?

I have to remind the reader from an economic standard point, China has had to cheat to get to the position they’re in today. The subtle economic advantages China has over the world or a result of China uncompetitive sectors in its economy. Now, the reality is a lot of Free countries in the free world have been engaging in Protectionism, and this welfare for the rich mentality in the Western World has allowed China to take that same approach in Communist style. The difference is that in China, everything is viewed from a political lens if China believes their adversaries are engaging in political posturing China will return the favor.

If this approach by the Chinese isn’t countered by Freedom, the world has a very serious problem on its hands moving forward. Now in m personal opinion, Trump has done a good job putting a big band-aid on the problem. However, U.S spending hasn’t decreased, it’s just become more efficient and if U.S spending doesn’t decrease, if there’s no recession, if the economy isn’t allowed to crash, people who don’t see the importance of fiscal responsibility will embrace Leftism and in case people aren’t noticing, the Western world is getting eerily similar to Communist China.

Now, obviously there’s been a populist uprising all over the world, but it still appears that a large segment of the population don’t want to acknowledge the economic component to this impending doom. If Iran as an example does something to the U.S, it’s not a big deal for Donald Trump to cut economic ties to Iran, with China, however, the situation is different, a lot of countries as it stands now are reliant on China, and why is that? Most parts of the world are reliant on China because of things like Rent Controls, minimum wages, over-taxation on the rich, public sector spending, corporate and personal welfare, the expectation that their government should take care of them and provide them with security, well isn’t that communism?

In Canada, the current Prime Minister is embroiled in scandal after scandal, but because so many Canadians look to the Government for security according to Canadian voting polls, the current well known corrupt politician is tied with his main political rival. Why is this happening? Because market crashes used to be a reminder to the people that Government resources weren’t infinite, in China because they’re living in Communism, they know what a big government feels like, in Western countries, we’re the from being medium-boiled, we’re free we tell our-selves and every time our governments take an economic freedom away from us, we convince ourselves that our government is doing this for our best interests.

Well, consider reading the story below, because China is increasingly using ‘exit bans’ to bar Americans from leaving. That’s basically how things work under totalitarianism rule. There are no legal proceedings, the political party in-charge decides who stays and who goes, in the western world there are already people policing us, telling us what we should and shouldn’t say, trying to expand the laws to make many of us guilty until proven innocent.

Imagine having someone constantly looking over your shoulder, that’s what big government feels like. Now my point for writing this is that idleness is the devil’s playground. It’s time to get people back to work, especially with the rise of the internet, there are some many entrepreneurs all over the world being suppressed because of Big Government. I’m for abolishing all wage and price controls, there shouldn’t be an excuse why an able-bodied person isn’t working and is somehow a beneficiary of welfare. Communist China has gained all this power because most of the western world has decided that economic protectionism is the best way forward.

Well, protectionism has driven away jobs, a lot of companies that should be in countries like Australia, the U.K, Canada or America are now in China because at the very least in China, they have Free Market zones. Did you hear that? A communist country has free-market zones, these free-market zones in China generate their government most of its wealth, these zones make a mockery of many of the economic protections that exist in the western world. Now, protectionism is fine, if that’s what you want to do, but there needs to be a reminder that there are pros and cons to everything. The con to the modern-day economy is that protectionism has lead to the western world in a time of great prosperity assuming that the bill for this wealth isn’t coming due.

Once you stop making things and the people who used to make things start retiring, well let’s just say unexpected changes might be forced upon you. In my opinion, the Chinese economic miracle may face some challenges when the market corrects and if you live in a country dependent on China and if you’re closed-minded to austerity measures well… let’s just say we’re all going to have to learn things the hard way.

Interesting times ahead
