1. This might be propoganda?

2. It isn't. I took these 10 minutes ago from my school in Qingdao.

It's military boot camp time in school.

4. I assume that you've heard of JROTC and ROTC, right?

What do you think goes on with marching jodies? Here's a tamer (more all-inclusive) fragment of one:

"Jesus loves the little children...all the children of the world...red or yellow, black or white...they all scream when they ignite...etc."

Do you think doing PT and shouting out stuff like that engenders a spirit of common humanity? I don't. I also don't believe that we're the only ones who shape attitudes and opinions with violent rhetoric and propaganda.

Being aware of such conditioning is important.

The video that you posted seems to be based principally on a Daily Caller story. That's purportedly an enterprise run by Tucker Carlson. Surely, credible stories can be sourced to higher quality reports than those of the Daily Caller.

So, it might be a perfectly valid story from a bad source, a source that puts out plentiful accusations against the Biden Administration: see this Tweet from the author of your video's principal source's author,

Link to tweet

.

Apparently, President Biden was "caught taking a picture" with a CCP luminary of some sort....

If you want to support that sort of a publication by choosing sources that rely on it for fodder for their videos, that's entirely up to you.

DU probably deserves better quality material, though, in my opinion.

5. I live in China. I speak Chinese. I hear the Colonel's outside my classroom.

They are telling the students that they are being trained to "stop the enemy." When asked who the enemy, the students shout back "Japan, Britain, USA.” 日本，英国，美国。

This isn't JROTC. . .this is FORCED military training for two weeks in all public and private schools under Xi Jinping's new "Patriotic Education Law."

6. Fair enough. If one wanted to see a reasonable source for analysis of issues related to China...

...what would a good source be, preferably one that is not a "Daily Caller"-like rag?

I imagine that there would be certain journals which are seen as reputable by experts in the field of "Chinese studies" (for lack of a more proper term). Could you please recommend one?

8. The China Show on Youtube. Both guys lived in China like me and speak fluent Chinese like me.

11. Thank you. n/t

7. Well, we have plethora of US politicians stating the US's #1 enemy is China.

And that the US has to expand its military might. (Y'know, "rebuild" the military after the imagined Obama/Biden admins have stripped the military bare rhetoric.)

If our politicians in charge are issuing threatening statements, what are we to expect?

Of course, their defensive posture only fulfills the darkest fantasizations of those issuing the threats.

9. Then threatening US ships in the South China Sea doesn't help and then lying about it.

The CCP's economy in the toilet and getting worse doesn't help because they are now beating the drums of war HARD

10. I am not stating a defense of China. Noting the cycles of escalation.
