Translation:

In a doco made by the people who can decide their fate on a whim. The PLA solders expressed opinions that, amazingly, aligned exactly with what their leaders wanted to hear.

I recently watched this Why China is Shrinking VERY Fast which gave some really good insights.

Winnie is going to invade (this is one prediction) within the next 8 years, for a variety of convincing reasons.

This is quite serious and I think with Ukraine etc it's a very real possibility.
