China 101 - Interview with Dr Niall Duggan UCC

Episode · Perspectives with Neilo · Regular listeners to Perspectives with Neilo will be aware that China and the behavior of its government, the Chinese Communist Party or CCP, have been the subject of many of our past episodes, from their aggression against Taiwan and its neighbors in the South China Sea, to their questionable trade practices and the many dubious tactics they employ in their quest for global influence. In this episode, we dig a little deeper into the background and hear the perspectives of Dr. Niall Duggan, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Government and Politics at University College Cork. We discuss the origins of the party, the political framework and institutions, and how things have changed under leader Xi Jinping, plus lots more. #China, #CCP, #PRC, #XiJinping, #Mao, #DengXiaoping, #Wholeprocessdemocracy, #Nationalcongress, #CentralCommittee, #PLA, #BeltandRoad, #onebeltoneroad

New York Times: 🆘 The never-elected CCP dictatorship orchestrating Canadian elections... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But why are so many Canadians of #Chinese background collaborating with CCP's foreign election manipulation schemes? 🤨

(comparison: In the final partially free #Hongkong elections in 2019 with pro-democracy candicacy restricted, democrats won popular vote in *all* 18 districts... winners were disqualifed and or jailed and next time only *certified* CCP stooges were allowed to participate in the charade.)

Standard CCP quote:
「A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa did not reply to questions about the consulate’s alleged actions in Vancouver, saying only that “China never interferes in other countries’ internal affairs” and that accusations of interference were an “out-and-out smear of China.”」
