Wow what a statement! " Even they cannot brush this under the carpet!" 🙏

[BLUERAY]

My belief in Karma has become stronger than ever before.

The video portrayed an accurate picture of ominous events unfolding in China. This is a time the rest of us are compelled to show appreciation for the lives we have been given. We are grateful Ms. Palki Sharma for the spark of humility in our souls.

They've damned and diverted so many rivers, so quickly, cut so many corners, it's only beginning.

[siddeshnaik]

This is what excessive mining does the ground starts to collapse under gravity and the result is floods in areas which never had any floods

[ianjohngonzales]

They need to overthrow their evil regime.

My heart sank when I saw our Siberian fire. We are all prone to disasters, let us carry each other.

What is the use of trillions of economic power when people suffer ?

[leylehadoris]

And so it begins..Judgement is inescapable.

And yet the CCP keeps advising the good people of China to expect a bumper crop this year despite all the flooding of the farmlands.

[Harassed]

sad scenes… CCP has a lot to answer for on his judgement day!!

China needs less dams, water isn’t supposed to be held back when flowing downstream

[naunihalsingh]

Hope everything will be fine soon..
Power to them who lost their families or properties, 💛 🇮🇳✨

Xi has lost his Mandate of Heaven which allows him to rule China!…I would sight the Evergrande real estate fiasco as well as so many deaths from drownings as a result of incompetence from the county leaders as just two examples.
There are four principles to the Mandate of Heaven:
Heaven grants the emperor the right to rule,
Since there is only one Heaven, there can only be one emperor at any given time,
The emperor's virtue determines his right to rule, and,
No one dynasty has a permanent right to rule...

Signs that a particular ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven included peasant uprisings, invasions by foreign troops, drought, famine, floods, and earthquakes. Of course, drought or floods often led to famine, which in turn caused peasant uprisings, so these factors were often interrelated.
Although the Mandate of Heaven sounds superficially similar to the European concept of the "Divine Right of Kings, " in fact it operated quite differently. In the European model, God granted a particular family the right to rule a country for all time, regardless of the rulers' behaviour. The Divine Right was an assertion that God essentially forbade rebellions, as it was a sin to oppose the king.

In contrast, the Mandate of Heaven justified rebellion against an unjust, tyrannical, or incompetent ruler. If a rebellion was successful in overthrowing the emperor, then it was a sign that he had lost the Mandate of Heaven and the rebel leader had gained it. In addition, unlike the hereditary Divine Right of Kings, the Mandate of Heaven did not depend upon royal or even noble birth. Any successful rebel leader could become emperor with Heaven's approval, even if he was born a peasant.
Time for the PLA to uphold their original mandate and “LIBERATE” the Chinese people!

My point was this: Xi stated to the CCP, cadres, and the good people of China, that he had the “Mandate of Heaven” to rule China! He’s relying on ancient concepts that suit his purpose to DEFLECT from his rule. He pushes the Mandate as his authority yet according to the Mandate he’s lost that right along time ago! If you live by the sword, you die by the sword! If your claiming you rule by the Mandate of Heaven, then you must suffer the consequences for your actions by the same Mandate!
