“In China, the government can control education, high schools, colleges, universities. We thought that the USA could be different," one student said.
Chinese students say they’re questioning their decision to study in the U.S. after Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the federal government will attempt to “aggressively” revoke their visas.
Rubio said Wednesday that Chinese students “with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields” would be targeted.
Chinese students who spoke to NBC News on Thursday said that they came to the U.S. for freedoms they felt they did not have back in China but that now the Trump administration is starting to resemble the strict regime they left behind.
That would presume that they have any kind of plan.
Have you forgotten project 2025?
That’s a self-contradictory bunch of fascist fantasies but not a coherent plan. So OK, technically they do have a plan, you got me there.
Coherence is immaterial. They’re following it, and they’ve accomplished significant amounts of what the plan defines. Dismissing it because it’s a dumb plan is extremely myopic and dangerous.
Umberto Eco’s third tenet of fascism: The cult of action for action’s sake.
“Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
If you look at the individual cards on that site, it’s incredibly frightening. Especially about cutting medicaid, it was their plan all along.
They have a concept of a plan.

It pretty explicitly includes language around id-ing, segregating, and deporting everyone of East Asian descent, starting with Han Chinese residents.

This is followed by a strategy of isolation and encirclement, intended to cut China off from the natural resources of Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim.
Finally, the US planned mass domestic agitation combined with proxy wars along the periphery in order to destabilize and eventually topple the Federal government in the same way the US cracked up Yugoslavia and the USSR.
Full Balkanization of China is the stated goal.
I was just arguing that they have plans. There will be plans for China but you have to look elsewhere.
