China's Poverty is Planned

from China Unscripted

Watch the full podcast! https://chinauncensored.tv/programs/podcast-334  Xi Jinping claimed back in 2021 that the CCP had succeeded in eliminating extreme poverty. While that wasn't true, what's true is that Xi has no intention of eliminating poverty of any kind because it's all part of the CCP's plan to maintain dominance. We discuss that and more with our guest Zhang Tianliang, an author, historian, and a professor at Fei Tian College. He's also the producer of the new documentary "China's Stealth Invasion" which you can find at https://youtu.be/uIveniHhOnM
