China readies its military
After Chinese leader Xi Jinping
Vows to take Taiwan
But the US may have a different idea.
Plus...
I have a beard!
Welcome to China Uncensored.
I'm Chris Chappell.
The Chinese military is preparing for war.
Again.
In fact, for a country that hasn't seen real combat
since a brief war with Vietnam in 1979,
China seems to be preparing for war a lot.
At least once a year it seems.
I mean, it's good to be prepared, right?
You never know when a war might sneak up behind you
and suddenly happen through no fault of your own.
But these "preparation for war" headlines
aren't necessarily that alarming by themselves.
After all, the US military talks about
combat readiness all the time,
which is essentially being prepared for war.
But could there be any indication about a specific war
that the Chinese Communist Party is possibly getting ready for?
"Taiwanese independence would be a disaster.
Those are the words of Chinese President Xi Jinping,
who made the comments in a speech on Wednesday in Beijing.
Taiwan is China's most sensitive issue
and is claimed as a breakaway province of a 'one China.'
And in his speech,
Xi said China will strive to lead Taiwan to
a bright future under Beijing's rule."
Yes, the future looks bright for China and Taiwan,
and unrelatedly, Xi Jinping called on the PLA to,
you guessed it, prepare for war.
But I'm sure this preparing for war stuff doesn't have
anything to do with Xi's speech on Taiwan.
Actually, it does.
It's pretty much a warning.
Xi gave his speech about Taiwan
on the 40th anniversary
of the major change in China's Taiwan policy.
In 1979, the Chinese Communist Party
stopped saying it would "liberate" Taiwan,
and instead said it would "peacefully reunify" with Taiwan.
By force if necessary.
By the way,
even the word "reunification"
is a pretty clever propaganda term.
In Chinese, the term is actually "unification."
But if you translate it as "reunification"
that makes it seem like Taiwan
was historically always a part of China.
Which is not true.
Now even though Xi's speech
caused a lot of controversy,
it wasn't technically a change
in the People's Republic of China's
current policy toward Taiwan.
In fact, the language was less harsh
than a speech Xi gave as last March,
when he said China was ready to fight
a bloody battle against its enemies.
And for the military to prepare for war…
which, again, he says ALL THE TIME.
But this year, he struck a different tone.
"Chinese people don't attack Chinese people."
Which has been true exactly...
never, in Chinese history.
I mean...Mao.
Xi Jinping actually had lifted that line
from a 1995 speech about Taiwan
given by his biggest political rival,
former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin.
Which is kind of like Tupac lifting a line from Biggie.
Look them up on Wikipedia.
There were also other goodies
sprinkled throughout Xi Jinping's speech.
Like when he said China, quote,
"achieved a great victory in frustrating
the Taiwan independence movement
and other separatist activities."
Which sounds to me like he wants bragging rights
for illegally interfering in Taiwan's recent elections.
Now Xi's not technically taking credit.
But I mean, if you want to give him credit...
Xi also mentioned the One Country,
Two Systems model a bunch of times.
That would mean Taiwan can become part of
the Communist People's Republic of China,
but would still get to keep a degree of political autonomy.
One Country, Two Systems.
It would be totally fine, Xi Jinping says.
"After peaceful reunification,
Taiwan will have lasting peace
and the people will enjoy good and prosperous lives.
With the great motherland's support,
Taiwan compatriots' welfare will be even better,
their development space will be even greater,
they can stand more upright in the international community
with more confidence,
they will be safer and they will have more dignity."
Yeah, just like Hong Kong!
The one country two systems policy is in action there,
and it's worked great!
Well, except for a few minor things,
like multiple pro-democracy figures being harassed,
jailed, and kicked out of office.
Oh, and prominent foreign activists
being banned from visiting Hong Kong.
Oh, and a bunch of broken promises
about letting people there vote.
Plus Chinese state security spying on foreign journalists.
But otherwise, it's great!
And yet, for some reason,
Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen
just doesn't see it like that.
First, I must emphasize that
we have never accepted the "1992 Consensus."
The fundamental reason is because
the Beijing authorities' definition of the "1992 Consensus"
is "one China" and "one country, two systems."
The speech delivered by China's leader today
has confirmed our misgivings.
Here, I want to reiterate that Taiwan
absolutely will not accept "one country, two systems."
The vast majority of Taiwanese
also resolutely oppose "one country, two systems,"
and this opposition is also a "Taiwan consensus."
In fact, even though Xi Jinping's speech
wasn't a departure from Chinese policy,
Tsai responded with a public break from the 1992 consensus.
The 1992 consensus established that Taiwan and China
both agree that there is only one China,
and that Taiwan is a part of it,
but each side has their own interpretation
of what "China" means.
Essentially, each side claims that
they are the one true China.
The Chinese Communist Party doesn't mention
this whole "interpretation" part
when they talk about the 1992 consensus,
just the part where Taiwan agrees it's part of China.
Now since President Tsai was elected in 2016,
she had never openly acknowledged the 1992 consensus.
And her party, the DPP,
has historically not accepted it.
But now Tsai is actively and publicly rejecting it.
She said, "I myself expect all of Taiwan's political parties
to clearly state, 'We reject "one country, two systems.'
And there's no need to talk about the 1992 consensus anymore,
because this term has already been defined by Beijing
as 'one country, two systems.'"
And Taiwan is even now, well...preparing for war.
Maybe you guys have more in common than you think.
And it's really breaking Xi Jinping up.
No wonder Xi Jinping said "Taiwan is so close,
yet so far away."
Xi Jinping just wants to reunify with you, Tsai.
How can you be so cruel?
But not only has Tsai taken a stronger and stronger stance
against the People's Republic of China,
she's also now calling out the international community.
"When a country that does its best
to practice democracy and shared international values
faces threats and violation,
I believe that this is also a violation of democracy
and those values.
If the international community does not speak out for
and support Taiwan while it is facing such a situation,
we have to ask which country will be next."
But while democracy and human rights is nice and all,
don't you know how much money China has?!
But even though the US has official diplomatic ties
with the communist People's Republic of China,
the US has for decades also had strong,
unofficial, but positive ties with Taiwan.
Last November,
two US sailed two Navy ships
through the Strait of Taiwan,
a third time for the year.
Last year also saw the Trump Administration
setting up a 255 million dollar defacto embassy in Taiwan.
And, on the last day of 2018,
Trump signed into law the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act.
The section on Taiwan focuses on the US's commitment
"to counter efforts to change the status quo
and to support peaceful resolution acceptable
to both sides of the Taiwan Strait."
And to regularly sell weapons to Taiwan.
You know, in case anyone over there
decides to prepare for war.
So look out, Xi Jinping.
Because if you get too aggro,
you might just end up with Trump jumping in the middle.
And things would get...interesting.
So what do you think?
Leave your comments below.
And before you go,
it's the time you've all been waiting for,
when I answer questions from a member of my 50 cent army,
fans who support China Uncensored
through the crowd funding website Patreon.
Lee Lhasa asks,
"Do you think under the present presidency the US
would come to Taiwan's aid in event of an invasion?
Well, first of all,
I think it would be very difficult for China
to ever even launch an invasion of Taiwan.
But should it ever happen,
I'm fairly confident the United States would get involved.
Decades of US policy has shown strong support for Taiwan.
In a recent episode I talked about the island of Kinmen,
which is only a few miles off the coast of Mainland China—
but is administered by Taiwan's government.
In the 1950's, the Chinese military
actually bombarded the island,
specifically to see if the US
would actually get involved.
And the US did.
And as I mentioned, the Trump administration
has shown a lot of support for Taiwan,
and I think that will continue
despite the resignation of James Mattis,
who was a staunch supporter of Taiwan.
The real risk to Taiwan is a gradual
cultural and economic invasion.
The United States would be powerless
if the Chinese Communist Party were able to
successfully promote its interests in Taiwan
to the extent that there is
a strong enough force for unification
coming from inside Taiwan.
But remember,
even if Taiwan does someday get back together with China,
that doesn't mean that it's the Chinese Communist Party
that's going to be in charge.
Thanks for your question, Lee.

Arsenal transfer news: The truth about Youri Tielemans' Gunners links - Duration: 2:21.
Speculation is growing that Youri Tielemans could be the subject of interest from Arsenal in the final hours of transfer deadline day
The Monaco midfielder, 21, has been one of the most coveted youngsters in world football in recent years but struggled after leaving Anderlecht for Ligue 1 and had particular difficulties under Leonardo Jardim, who has just returned to the club to replace Thierry Henry as manager
Tielemans has been linked with Arsenal since he was a teenager but football.london understands he is not currently on the club's radar, despite reports to the contrary
Instead the Belgian international is set to move to Leicester on loan, with Adrien Silva heading in the opposite direction for the remainder of the season
Arsenal's transfer priorities on deadline day are instead to complete the formalities of Denis Suarez's loan move from Barcelona and attempt to make one more temporary addition
Christopher Nkunku of Paris Saint-Germain is the most likely to join with hopes receding that Yannick Carrasco can be prised from the Chinese Super League on a short-term basis
Nkunku's move depends on whether PSG can add to a midfield that has already been strengthened by the arrival of Leandro Paredes
The French champions are also targeting Everton's Idrissa Gueye, Watford star Abdoulaye Doucoure and DC United playmaker Luciano Acosta

Marketing Strategies for Restaurants (to fill the place up) - Duration: 7:28.
Times, they are changing and you cannot keep doing the same old marketing strategies that
you have done for years because they are not going to work anymore.
So, if you are running out of marketing strategies for your restaurant to fill the place up,
then look no further because in this video I am going to share five marketing strategies
for restaurants that will fill your restaurant up, but first, make sure you subscribe to
this video.
Click that bell so you get a notification every time I post a video, just like this
one, every Thursday.
The media industry is changing and so is the way that your customers are receiving information,
so you need to switch things up a little bit, and in this video, I'm going to share some
restaurant marketing strategies that me and my team have used with our restaurant clients
that have seen them having long lines, waits out the door, and even running out of food
some nights because they are so busy.
Here are five different marketing strategies for restaurants that you can start implementing
today.
Host a dinner with media influencers.
This is a new kind of marketing that a lot of restaurant owners aren't privy to yet because
they're still thinking old fashioned advertising.
People are consuming a lot of content on social media now.
They're following people who are popular in their area and have large engaged followings.
Remember I said engaged, not just large.
You have to watch out for that.
You want to make sure that people you invite in for a meal to share on their social media
are actually posting to people who care.
I'll give you an example of how I did this.
I live in South Florida.
I represent a few restaurants here in South Florida and there is a woman in South Florida
who was a contestant on The Bachelor.
She has a huge social media following, so I invited her to come into the restaurant
with a friend and we comped their entire meal.
In exchange, she just posted on her Instagram, "Hey, I'm out with my friend.
This is the restaurant."
She tagged the restaurant and they got great publicity.
All it did was cost the restaurant a comped meal.
That's an example of how you can host a dinner for a social media influencer.
This is something you can do all at once.
You can make an event out of it and have 10 people at once.
I don't like it that way because I think when you have 10 people posting about the same
restaurant at the same time, it looks a little too staged, so instead I invite the influencers
in one by one.
Whenever it's good for them - they can bring a guest or they can come with their family
and you're spreading out all of that coverage over time.
Have a social media contest.
I recently went to a restaurant and they would give you a free order of chips and salsa,
or chips and guac, whatever you prefer.
(I like the queso personally) if you would check in on social media and tag them.
That's all you needed to do.
They had a table tent at the table, so everybody who sat down saw this… and everybody likes
a free meal.
They like a free appetizer.
I mean, anything free at a restaurant is a win, right?
So, people were checking into the restaurant, they were telling all of their friends, all
of their family, and all of their followers where they were and what they were doing.
That is free publicity.
It's going to cost you some chips and queso, chips and salsa, whatever you want.
Before I go on and share the next three marketing strategies I want to know about you and your
restaurant, so let me know in the comments where your restaurant is located and what
kind of restaurant it is.
Maybe you're thinking about opening a restaurant or maybe you're in the process.
Let me know what it is and where it's located.
Land a cooking segment on local TV.
Obviously this one is going to be my favorite because this is my jam.
I book a lot of my local restaurant clients cooking segments on TV and one of the best
ways to do this is to capitalize on those awareness days.
On National Tequila Day, I had a Mexican restaurant on TV.
They were jam packed that night at the restaurant.
Taco Tuesday, another Mexican restaurant on TV, another successful turnout at the restaurant
later that night because they just got coverage in front of thousands of people in their market.
I Heart Mac & Cheese is a restaurant that I represent.
They have headquarters down here in South Florida where I'm located, but they also have
franchises nationwide and there is a day called National Mac & Cheese Day and on this day,
one location actually ran out of Mac and Cheese because they were so busy because I got them
multiple cooking segments on TV on that day.
I love this strategy.
Local cooking segments are huge, so you just need to find that timely angle to get those
segments and if you want to know more about pitching the media with that timely angle
to get those cooking segments, make sure you check out a previous video I did about earned
media examples and you can learn a little bit more about that.
I also have a free three day media class that teaches you how to pitch, to get publicity,
to turn that into profit that I will link below in the description.
Collaborate with other nearby businesses.
If you own a restaurant, people have to actually leave their house and go out to visit you,
so it's a good idea to collaborate with people who are near you, other people who are out
and about.
Because I know if I went into a salon or spa and they offered me a discount to the restaurant
next door, I'll probably go eat at the restaurant next door.
So think about collaborating with people who are near you.
Celebrate awareness days.
I touched on this in point number two.
It's a great way to land those segments on TV and there are awareness days are happening
24/7, like national chocolate chip day or national pi day.
I actually got an Italian restaurant, a cooking segment on national pi day because they make
pizza pies.
So get creative with those awareness days.
There are so many awareness days, not just for food but also for anything.
If it's national Italian day and you have an Italian restaurant, perfect.
That'll work.
National pi day.
Hello?!
That's math.
That's March 14th.
3.14.
I got an Italian restaurant coverage on national pi day.
So, get creative and use those awareness days to start up a promotion if it's not to earn
coverage on TV or in the media.
You can use it for your own promotion and promote on your own platforms - on your website
and your social media too.
So, just do a quick Google search and find those national awareness days and capitalize
on them.
I showed you a few media hits that I earned some of my restaurant clients and I want you
to get those same results too.
You don't need to spend money on advertising.
People are just not paying attention to advertising the way they used to.
You can learn how to pitch the media to get publicity and turn it into profit.
So again, head to MediaMavenAndMore.com/Publicity.
I am linking to it and the description of this video so you can get that coverage that
I earn my restaurant clients here in South Florida.
And please don't forget to subscribe to this video and like it.
Let me know you are liking what you are seeing because I am posting new videos just like
this one every Thursday, and if you haven't yet, please take this time to comment and
let me know where your restaurant is located and what kind of restaurant you have or what
kind of restaurant you are opening in the future.
