An outtake from Xi Jinping’s cartoon hip hop video. The tigers behind bars refer to the many high level Communist Party of China (CPC) members, who have been thrown in jail for corruption. Monkeys are flying around for the New Year. Shanghai’s CCTV tower and a wind turbine can be seen in a field…
I have mixed emotions about China’s insatiable passion for using fireworks. On the one hand, they invented gunpowder and fireworks.

While doing his extensive, ongoing research, China Rising author and geopolitical analyst Jeff J. Brown heard about the White Dragon Society a while back, but was frustrated trying to get reliable information on it. About the same time, Jason Bainbridge contacted Jeff, to comment about one of his previous shows. This started up an…

Political expert Caleb Maupin (www.calebmaupin.info) and analyst and author Jeff J. Brown join in a fascinating discussion on communism and socialism. Are they the same? How have they compared around the world over the last century? Is modern China capitalist or socialist? What happened in the USSR? Can or should socialism or communism replace…

Jeff wrote a book review for The Essential Saker: from the trenches of the emerging multipolar world This review has been published on two different sites, The Greanville Post The Saker
As a fan of 44 Days, you have probably noticed that this website is slowing falling apart. I have quit investing in it for a reason. The good news is that I have a new website that will replace 44 Days. Please go to, http://realchina.puntopress.com// It is in the early beta stages,…
