James Lindsay explains how Deng Xiaoping allowed Americans like Henry Kissinger to engineer modern China using corporate subsidiary.

Deng Xiaoping inherited an
economic catastrophe, starving,
dying people,
an economy absolutely
obliterated by Mao's
psychopathy and communism.
And he kind of threw up his
hands and famously said,
I don't care if the cat is
black or white as long as
it catches mice.
In other words,
I don't care what kind of system.
I don't care if it's pure
Marxist socialism.
I don't care if it has some
businesses running.
We got to get the economy of
China running again.
And Kissinger and Brzezinski,
among others,
met and figured out a new
economic model for China
where China would become a
huge corporate state.
It would become, in fact,
the manufacturer for the world,
allowing countries like the
United States to become a
purely consumer economy,
not a productive consumptive economy,
but just a consumptive economy,
a service economy ultimately.
So we would take away
primary manufacturing from
most of the rest of the
world located in China.
China would be able to be
make a lot of money doing that,
get their economy off the
ground by being primary manufacturers,
basically taking
dispossessed poor people and communists,
turning them into, you know,
slaves working for, you know,
a dollar a day or a dollar
a week or dollar an hour,
depending or whatever.
And we all know about the
suicide nets where they
were getting mistreated so
badly that they had to put
up nets to keep people from
killing themselves at work routinely.
And so China became the
manufacturing base for the world.
And in exchange, though,
because China was a
socialist country and Deng
Xiaoping said it would all
be done for the glory of socialism.
They had very strict rules.
If you want to participate
in this Chinese CCP
corporate subsidiarity model,
that's this.
What I would say is if we look at kind of,
you know, before Lenin,
you had communism 1.0 that
didn't work anywhere.
And then you have Lenin up
through Mao and you have
communism 2.0 that was.
actually brutally successful
but not penetrating the
west well the ccp
represents communism 3.0
and a lot of people are
still thinking in communism
2.0 and they can't figure
out how what's happening is
communist well china is
running a model where all
those big corporations all
those manufacturers you can
get riches I mean there's
literally a show called
crazy rich asians you can
get crazy rich but the only
way that you're going to be
allowed to make it at that
scale in china is through
your service to the ccp at
the end of the day
And so you are there's in a
sense one mega corporation
in China that's called the
CCP and every other
corporation underneath it
is subsidiary to it.
So now you take a
corporation that say we'll
take two examples.
One is Nestle and one is Nike.
OK, so Nestle is a corporation,
but it's a Western corporation,
but they have a major office in China.
It turns like a huge amount of money into.
blah, blah, blah.
So they literally have a
full blown China branch of
Nestle that can't exist
unless it's also CCP subsidiary.
And then they can start
working inside of Nestle to
change Nestle's overall
corporate policy so that that can stay,
that subsidiary can stay fully active.
Now we look at Nike,
they probably have the same thing,
but let's pretend that they don't.
Let's pretend they're a
purely American company out
there in Portland and they
want to do business in China.
The retail market in China,
now that it's got a
consumer economy going,
or production economy going, I should say,
the retail market is gigantic.
There's a billion and a
quarter plus people there,
many of whom idolize the NBA.
Well, there's your NBA being woke,
by the way.
But they want to buy Nike,
which they call Neek.
is really popular there and
so nick nick nick and you
know didis didis yeah I've
I've been to china I've
seen this the brand name
thing is huge well nike's not allowed in
to their market whatsoever
unless Nike finds policies
that the CCP agrees with.
So now Nike becomes not
necessarily exactly a subsidiary,
but kind of like a vassal
company to the CCP.
So now the CCP's values
start flowing everywhere
globally out of companies
like Nike and Nestle,
but also any company that
wants to do a deal with the
CCP and get past its socialist firewall.
And as it turns out,
they're our manufacturing base.
So it's not like we can just
tell them like we would
have done to the Soviet
Union 100 years ago or
whatever to go jump in a lake.
We can't produce many things like,
you know, your favorite cowboy.
Yeehaw.
Let's take back the border.
You know, shoot the CCP out of the sky.
You know.
probably doesn't realize
that the United States has
exactly zero primary lead
manufacturers or smelters.
We cannot produce lead from
ore in the United States at all.
We have secondary lead smelters,
but we have zero primary lead smelters,
which means if you want to
go shoot at the CCP,
guess where you have to buy your bullets.
The lead to make your
bullets has to come from another country.
And of course,
China doesn't have any
problem producing a large
percentage of the world's lead.
So that's kind of a problem for you.
Meanwhile,
those same exact economic and
social policies.
So this is really the they a
little bit more deeply.
that people like Kissinger
architected in China with Deng Xiaoping,
they created this model in
the West that was
epicentered at the United
Nations and the World
Economic Forum that is now called,
after this program was developed,
it got lumped into what is
now called ESG.
