| Hi, this is Dr. Pchenik, and I'd like to continue my discussion on Chinese history. | |
| What's most important to understand is during the period between 1940 to 1976, Mao Zedong was in charge of China. | |
| Eventually, the population of China became 1.4 billion. | |
| And it saw all kinds of upheaval, chaos, and terror. | |
| More specifically, during the period of time of 1966 and 1976, Mao initiated two elements that were very dangerous to China. | |
| One was the Great Leap Forward, and the other one was the Cultural Revolution. | |
| In both cases, Mao had no idea of how to run or control All these Chinese. | |
| And instead, what he did was to create a constant chaos and turmoil within the country so that he would encourage young students and people to kill all the old revolutionaries. | |
| And in turn, he had sent out Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping's father out into the countryside so that all the old leaders of China We're either killed, terrorized, or imprisoned. | |
| In turn, Mao had encouraged his wife to continue with the Gang of Four, creating more havoc and massacre. | |
| Eventually, nothing was done to stop Mao Zedong. | |
| Zhou Enlai, who was the most intelligent and most rational of all these leaders, unfortunately died in the 70s, and he tried to monitor or titrate Mao's activities, but he wasn't very successful. | |
| In turn, the young man, Deng Xiaoping, had come from exile, came back, and took over in 1976. | |
| And he, in turn, had created a chaotic situation. | |
| It was called Tiananmen Square, where hundreds of thousands, millions of people, Chinese, were praising Zhou Enlai. | |
| And in turn, Deng Xiaoping, Despite the fact that he improved the economy, despite the fact that he had relationships with the United States and turned China around to be a more successful country, he nevertheless massacred hundreds of thousands of Chinese students, adults at Tiananmen Square as punishment for this | |
| Subsequent to him, Deng Xiaoping died naturally. | |
| Then came Hu Jintao, and more importantly, is Jin Xintong, the gentleman we have now. | |
| He came in in 2012. | |
| He and his father had been exiled out of China during the Cultural Revolution, and his father, Xi Jinping's father, was actually jailed by Mao Zedong. | |
| In turn, when his father got out of jail, he attempted to become head of the Politburo nine times. | |
| And then Xi Jinping was brought in, and nine times he, too, tried to become head of the Politburo, and eventually became head of the Communist Party. | |
| Initially, he wanted to take China onto the road of economic success, international relationships, and dominance. | |
| And that's where we are right now in China. | |
| He rules 1.4 billion people with a hard hand. | |
| But in turn, there is a weapon in China that I have seen that is the most deadly weapon I have ever seen, and I explained it to my fellow generals and military officers. | |
| And that weapon was what Xi Jinping created. | |
| It was a 10-story building of American and English books |
