I thought this video rather well thought out.
China economy may eventually stagnate like Japan.
Reason is the Chinese Communist Party will likely not want to let the service economy grow.
China needs to grow its own consumer base greater than it is.

China has had great success by copying the US, Korean, Japanese models for economic growth
But they must complete the process, or they will not become a super economy.

Explains a lot.

I saw a video that reflects Chinese younger people's thoughts. One saved his money and retired at 45 and moved to a remote Chinese village. The point is the younger people don't want to work forever like their parents and to enjoy free time and life. They will never be a consumer generation unless a safety net for retirement is put in place. Of course, communists won't do that.

It's no use. They have no idea what you and I are talking about.

Because they are eating from the tree of good and evil fed to them by politicians, how can they possibly understand what you are saying?
You err in the BIG perspective! We all have been subject to the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It was God's intention, He put the Tree in the Garden and knew they would eat of it. There was no other way. Part of His purpose for us is to know evil so that we can truly appreciate what good is, appreciate and know Who He is.
We could not know what forgiveness, mercy, hope, faith, love, kindness, joy meant unless we've been without and experienced their opposites. Once we do, we make a choice to know and love God and others and avoid evil. The knowledge of good and evil have permeated throughout the world and we must discern it. The solution is of course is Christ. He alone washes away our sins, e removes our blindness, Ena les us to spiritually see and baptizes us with the Holy Spirit, Who helps us then discern between good and evil.

No needs to discern between good and evil.
What we need to do is to know the Word of God.
Don't you understand yet?
God said from the beginning not to distinguish between good and evil.

Are you going to disobey the word of God? Or do you have the right to nullify the Word of God?

You are the one who is confused. The Bible is filled with stories of good and evil. Our lives are filled with experiences of good and evil. And you are saying we are not supposed to discern between them?

I have made it very clear that God says not to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil.
If you insist on trying to keep eating, then I can only say that you are prone to being deceived.
Either by Satan or by man.

All you need to know about is the word of God.

Aye, yes, eat from the Tree of Life.

Revelation 22

The River of Life​

1 And he showed me a [a]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

The Time Is Near​

6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [b]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 Now I, John, [c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. [d]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Jesus Testifies to the Churches​

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who [g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [h]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning​

18 [i]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, [j]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God[k] shall take away his part from the [l]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I Am Coming Quickly​

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be [m]with you all. Amen.

God never commanded that man not discern between good and evil. Man simply had no knowledge of good and evil, living in a state that was fully good.

God commanded to not eat from the tree that would bring that knowledge, and now that man had eaten from that tree, and now has that knowledge, you aren't to just pretend that never happened. The fact is, we are different because of it, and the original conditions no longer apply.

Now God tells us . . .

Hebrews 5:12-14 KJV
12) For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13) For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14) But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Being mature in the Word of God means that we've been using what we've learned, exercising our senses to discern between good and evil. And why? Because God says Touch not the unclean thing. Because God says add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge.
Are you going to disobey the word of God? Or do you have the right to nullify the Word of God?
That question is for you.

Much love!

Typical Socialist brainwashing that we seen nowadays regarding one has no rights to understand issues ?
Typical brainwashing of all Communist, because they are Slaves !
A Slave mentality ! One can not discriminate ? you personaly do not have that right under Communism Socialism ? A Police State !!! where you are Nothing but a Number ! Dictated to like a nobody ! played for a fool and nothing but a fool ! possessed by Evil, bought by Evil ! They can not make a move ? because they do not have a brain ? For such as they are like the Borg, a Collective ! and who created this Collective ? Evil People Dominate over the whole thing.
Such as Jesus ( Salvation ) can not enter such a System, it's Owned by the Carnal cunning who are just like they who only worked to undermine Jesus and attacked Jesus and killed Jesus in fact !

The worthy Jews became free and worthy of God as they were born again and the first Christians in fact !

Religious People never cut the mustard in fact ! only Christ Jesus can !

Interesting video of China economy, GDP is overstated by 3% per year. Youth saying, 'let it rot', don't like 9-9-6 work conditions, as in 9 am to 9pm 6 days a week.
