How To Repeat History (Part 4) - The Opium Wars

The CCP has weaponized fentanyl and TikTok as revenge for the 1800s Opium Wars that ushered in its "Century of Humiliation"

Comrades: Know your history.

In Part 2 of How To Repeat History, I made minor edits in Wikipedia to show how the Green New Deal and Great Reset are modern echoes of the disastrous Great Leap Forward. Part 1 surveyed the similarities between 2022 and 1936, while Part 3 analyzed where America stands in Sir Jon Glubb’s Fate of Empires.

Today, I will outline the parallels between the Opium Wars of the 1800s and the CCP’s revenge on the west today. CCP-manufactured fentanyl is now the leading cause of death among American adults aged 18-45. Drug overdoses are killing 100,000+ Americans every year, growing 10%+ year over year. The CCP’s allies in the Mexican drug cartels distribute the poison. They are empowered by the CCP’s senile court eunuch in The White House, who has opened the borders and decriminalized drug dealing. His crackhead son Hunter is a top drug customer and CCP officials are customers of his drug-fueled art, paying bribes to the Biden crime family. All of us pay for this destructive cycle.

Meanwhile, TikTok is digital opium poisoning the minds of children. While the CCP bans harmful content and promotes academic rigor on TikTok domestically, its algorithm preys on American kids with trans and dumb challenges that lead to mutilation and death. In a recent poll, 64% of teenagers said they would rather give up their vote than the digital crack of TikTok. We see the carnage every day online and offline, yet the government refuses to ban it. Somewhere, legions of Chinese intelligence officers are watching millions of hours of footage produced by our demoralized youth.

Reader Mrs. Bucket summed up better than I ever could in a comment on How To Control Your Soul’s Desire for Freedom (Part 2):

In past wars battlefields were littered with the broken bodies of the young. In today's underhand Chinese-Marxist war against the West, our streets, schools and cities are littered with the broken minds of young people.

Below are my modern edits to the Wikipedia page about the Opium War.

The First Opium War broke out in 1839 2016 between China and Britain America and was fought over trading rights (including the right of free trade) and Britain's America’s diplomatic status among Chinese officials. In the eighteenth 21st century, China enjoyed a trade surplus with Europe America, trading porcelain, silk, and tea cheap sweatshop goods for Apple, Nike, Amazon, and ESG solar panels in exchange for silver crops, oil, IP theft, and a hollowed out manufacturing base.

By the late 17th century 2021, the British East India Company (EIC) CCP expanded the cultivation of opium in the Bengal Biden Presidency, selling it to private merchants Mexican drug cartels who transported it to China America and covertly sold it on to Chinese American smugglers. By 1797 2023, the EIC CCP was selling 4,000 chests of opium (each weighing 77 kg) to private merchants per annum.

In earlier centuries, opium was utilised as a medicine with anesthetic qualities, but new Chinese American practices of smoking opium recreationally increased demand tremendously and often led to smokers developing addictions. Successive Chinese emperors American presidents issued edicts making opium illegal, but imports grew as smugglers and colluding officials in China America sought profit. Some American merchants entered the trade by smuggling opium from Turkey into China from Afghanistan into the White House, including Warren Delano Jr. Hunter Biden, the grandfather son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt Joe Biden. This is sometimes referred to as the Old China Trade 10% for the big guy.

The war was concluded by the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 2024, the first of the Unequal treaties between China and Western powers. The treaty ceded the Hong Kong Island and surrounding smaller islands Taiwan to Britain China, and established five cities as treaty ports open to Western CCP traders: Shanghai, Canton, Ningbo, Fuzhou, and Xiamen (Amoy) San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and New York. The treaty also stipulated that China America would pay a twenty-one million dollar payment to Britain China as reparations for the destroyed opium, with six million to be paid immediately, and the rest through specified installments thereafter.

Are Singapore and El Salvador the only countries winning the modern Opium War?
