I wasgoing to reply to someone on your latest youtube video an the "This video is private" notice showed up. Just to let you know.
I don't have a chance to talk about it a lot, but I love Chinese culture and I've been practicing traditional Chinese martial arts for over 10 years. I just won silver in a martial arts competition for a stick form, so I thought I'd share the video with you.
I also want to give a shoutout to my friend Byron Jacobs who has done A TON to promote Chinese martial arts and gave me some pointers before the competition. He's got a great YouTube channel which I recommend you check out https://www.youtube.com/@MuShinMartialCulture and an absolutely excellent book on Xing Yi Quan that I also recommend you pick up! https://www.mushinmartialculture.com/

China makes headlines for cuts in interest rates, but disappears a top economist who previously criticized its economic policies in private. The main surprise is the CCP manages to hang on despite locking away those who have helpful advice.
So Canadian politics is a bit outside this forum - but the Trudeau government has been under such influence by CCP that a new less CCP-friendly government would be a big deal. What do you Canadians think of these developments, eh?
