PODCAST: A People’s Protest Rises Within the PRC and Iran – Buchanan and Manning
https://youtu.be/JOJ8zNX3bFY
In this, the 23rd episode of A View from Afar for 2022 political scientist Dr Paul Buchanan and host Selwyn Manning analyse the significance of public protests that have challenged authoritarian rule in both the People’s Republic of China and in the Republic of Iran.
Paul takes us through the causes of the resistance, and how, in each nation, the reasons differ, but the impact is the same.
In 2022, authoritarian leadership is being challenged by the rise of street protest and resistance to centralised control.

A powerful protest movement in China is extremely good news for the world. And for world peace.
Anyone thinks the Chinese populace are an inert mass that follow the dikat of the Chinese Communist Party without question, should be disabused of that notion by these protests.
You can vote yourself into socialism, but you generally have to shoot your way out.
What is happening in Iran is yet another example of US-led meddling/stoking of fires. What is happening in China is the result of erroneous policy more so than erroneous rule.
Hmmm not so much.
Iranians are protesting the brutal killing by the regime of a girl who chose not to wear a scarf over her head. Nothing at all to do with the USA.
One wonders how many Iranians today wish they hadn’t gotten rid of the Shah.
There was no killing, she keeled over and died without a finger laid upon her. Very, very unfortunate but crystal clear for all to see. The evidence is clear, but it is telling that this evidence has rarely seen the light of day, thus we have what we have now….
Popular protests in places like Iran are usually orchestrated by the CIA who even supply the tee shirts, hopefully the leaders of that country will see sense and ease up on their womenfolk. China would be harder for the US to do but I expect it will be brutally crushed anyway like Tianamen Square and other unrest so don’t get your hopes up.
lol, yankees fantasizing about CIA color revolutions again.
