Another great conversation spanning the Pacific Ocean and a couple of generations. Enjoy!
Quick Recap:
The discussion between Jeff J. Brown and Rainer Shea revolves around global geopolitics, anti-imperialism, and the struggles faced by nations like China, Russia, and Palestine against Western imperialism. They analyze the shifting dynamics of power, the role of the United States and NATO, and the challenges posed by the Jewish state’s actions in Palestine. The conversation also touches on the internal class struggles within the U.S., the rise of grassroots movements, and the importance of building sustainable pro-Palestine and anti-imperialist efforts. Both speakers express concern about the escalating violence in Palestine and the broader implications for global justice.
10-Point Summary:
- China’s Geopolitical Strength :
- China has emerged as a dominant global power, effectively countering U.S. influence in East Asia. Its economic and military strength makes it nearly impossible for the U.S. to escalate into a direct war with China.
- Mutual Defense Treaties :
- China, North Korea (DPRK), and Russia have strengthened their alliances through mutual defense treaties. This creates a formidable bloc that deters direct military confrontation from the West.
- Palestine and Israeli Aggression :
- The Jewish state’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank is highlighted as a major threat to the anti-imperialist cause. The U.S. continues to fully support the Jewish state, enabling its atrocities.
- Ukraine and Rare Earth Minerals :
- Putin’s offer to sell rare earth minerals to the U.S. raises concerns about Russia potentially compromising its anti-imperialist stance. This could give the U.S. leverage over Russia in future conflicts.
- Trump’s Foreign Policy :
- Trump’s presidency is characterized by erratic behavior, including threats to leave NATO and his focus on tariffs against China. However, his administration remains deeply aligned with Israel and continues to support its expansionist policies.
- Class Struggle in the U.S. :
- Growing dissatisfaction with capitalism in the U.S. has led to increased questioning of pro-Jewish state narratives. Grassroots movements, such as pro-Palestine protests, are gaining momentum but lack institutional backing.
- Media and Propaganda :
- Western media, referred to as the “Big Lie Propaganda Machine,” suppresses criticism of the Jewish State and its foundations. In contrast, Chinese social media platforms like Douyin (TikTok) openly expose Jewish-state atrocities.
- China’s Role in Anti-Imperialism :
- China is seen as a key player in countering U.S. imperialism, particularly through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). However, it avoids direct involvement in conflicts like Palestine.
- Youth and Ideological Shifts :
- Younger generations in the U.S. are becoming more critical of neoliberal capitalism and pro-war narratives. This shift provides an opportunity to build stronger anti-imperialist movements.
- Hope for the Future :
- Despite the grim outlook for Palestine and other regions, there is hope in emerging organizations like the American Communist Party (ACP), which emphasizes class struggle and community organizing. Building sustainable movements is crucial for long-term change.

Jeff J. Brown: Fire away and I will follow in.
Rainer Shea: So, the stage that we’re at right now in the anti-imperialist struggle is, China has essentially won. It’s successfully overpowered the United States to the extent that, it really feels like, for now, Washington is too afraid to really escalate the war with China. China and the DPRK are so incredibly prepared for any confrontation that if the US were to start war right now, then that would be a very easy win for the anti-imperialist side.
And Russia’s success in beating back NATO has shown that the US, NATO – that whole imperialist alliance – could not really handle a conflict on that scale. However, there are certain threats to the anti-imperialist cause that we cannot ignore. And those threats have to do with the efforts at setting back the pro-Palestine struggle.
Jeff: Yeah, well, a lot of people don’t realize that in 1961, and they just renewed it in 2021. And that is that the People’s Republic of China, mainland China, and the DPRK, or as most people know it, as North Korea, have had a mutual defense treaty since 1961. And that means that if any country goes to war against China, then they go to war against the DPRK. And any country that goes to war with the DPRK goes to war with China. Then recently, the DPRK signed a mutual defense treaty with Russia.
So if anybody goes to war with the DPRK, they’re going to go with Russia. And then, of course, there’s a lot of rumors of unsubstantiated, and who knows, that the DPRK is helping Russia with missiles, actually artillery shells and soldiers in the back ranks to help with logistics. So, I just don’t know. The Secretary of State Rubio, Trump’s Secretary of State Rubio, makes a kind of conciliatory speech about China, suggesting that they’re not going to support Taiwan if Taiwan declares independence and then they come back and say something more bellicose like yesterday, saying that the United States is preparing for war with China.
And of course, the United States keeps selling Taiwan billions of dollars’ worth of arms, although they’re very late in getting them to them, but still they’re in the pipeline. And then Trump’s suggesting that all he needs to do is apply tariffs and sanctions on China to beat China’s, quote, whatever that means. And I agree with you. I don’t think that people realize how advanced China’s economy is. And I don’t think people, nobody wants to say it’s the biggest economy in the world, but it is.
We were just there in December, and you just walk down two city blocks and there’s more economic activity in two city blocks than in probably McKinleyville. I mean, it’s just unbelievable. So socioeconomically, the people support their government, support their leadership, support communism, support socialism. And then, of course, geopolitically with the BRI, the Belt and Road Initiative, China’s just going from strength to strength.
So I don’t know what Trump and what they’re going to try to do, Deep Seek AI, just blew a half a trillion dollars off Nasdaq. And they have now very different ideas with communism, socialist ideas are spreading DeepSeek all over the world for free. I use it. It’s free. And so I agree with you. I mean, China has won. But do you think that if something stupid happened and there was a hot war, do you think that the United States can beat China? And if it can’t beat China, do you think that the United States will resort to nuclear weapons?
Rainer: Well, I don’t think that the United States can actually beat China any more than it’s been able to militarily beat Russia. But this whole question, whether it comes to East Asia or whether it comes to Palestine or to what’s happening in the United States, it all comes down to how many lives are going to be lost by the time this global anti-imperialist struggle concludes. Because ultimately, the Soviet Union was able to beat Nazi Germany, but that came at the cost of tens of millions of lives.
It’s lost at an incomprehensible scale if that could have been avoided sooner. And now we’re in a situation where the imperialist menace is trying to recreate the success of Nazi Germany when it comes to destroying human life. When it comes to material destruction. And right now, that’s most prominently happening within Palestine and the rest of West Asia where the imperialist Zionist proxy is invading ever more countries and expanding its genocidal endeavor.
And so as for whether the United States would use nuclear weapons, I think that how far the United States is willing to go depends on how many factors it has going in its favor, like how many countries are willing to side with the United States or at least remain passive amid the imperial hegemons’ next aggressions. And that comes to what I think the Trump administration is going to do, I think that they have partially retreated when it comes to China and Korea.
I think they’re genuinely scared on that front. So they’re instead focusing on Russia, trying to win Russia back towards being a client state for Washington. And in most respects, Russia has won this war. But something happened in this last week that I think should trouble every person who cares about the anti-imperialist cause. Vladimir Putin has offered a rare earth minerals deal with the USA. He’s offering to sell off Russia’s rare earth minerals.
And in a perfect world where imperialism doesn’t exist, this would be great. But if this were to happen, it would place Russia in a compromised position. And it would give the United States a kind of leverage that constrains Russia and how much it could intervene amid the next U.S. aggressions. And that doesn’t just have to do with East Asia. Most urgently it has to do with Palestine and with the countries surrounding Palestine.
Jeff: Well, yeah, he floated that as a trial balloon just to try to keep the cooperation going and the meetings going in Riyadh, and I guess, the Russians could invite Rio Tinto or Glencore or one of the other big western mining companies to have a concession there, but I don’t think that Russia would ever sell; they would have nothing more than a concession to operate part of it. And I don’t know. And again, I think a lot of this is just kind of throwing stuff up in the air to see what Trump’s reaction is.
And of course, Trump took the bait because I think they realize there’s almost no rare earth minerals and what’s left of Ukraine. I just saw a map today, which was really, I found very interesting. On the northern border of Ukraine, north of Kharkiv — the Russians have actually gone into Ukrainian land, not a lot, but it’s probably several hundred square kilometers. And then I also noticed on the map that Russia has gone beyond their stated territory for Donbass, and I can’t remember that — I can’t pronounce the names of the other two.
Is it bourgeois or whatever? On the south of Donbass, they have actually gone into Ukrainian territory and are advancing into Ukrainian territory. I find that very, very interesting. At the same time that they still have not even captured all of the land that is at the official boundary line for Donbass and the other two provinces.
So, yeah, I’m a bit worried about Putin, too. I’m afraid he might not be a tough enough negotiator. But I just had a China Writers Group roundtable discussion that, in fact, I’m going to get published today and these guys know their stuff and Peter Man and Quan Le and Franz van der Bosch, who really understand what’s going on. They think that Putin is going to make a tough offer — that he’s going to be a tough negotiator.
And I hope so. And I said, well, they should at least cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea and go all the way to Odessa and over to Transnistria, I guess is what it’s called, or Transnistria or whatever it’s called. So that they could connect with Transnistria, which is a Russian enclave in Moldova. But yeah, I think NATO is lost, and what do you think about Trump? Do you think Trump is really serious about threatening to leave NATO?
Rainer: Well, he was president before and he didn’t do it back then. Well, here’s the thing about the United States and its relation to Europe at this stage. The United States and the EU are increasingly coming into conflict, sort of an inter-imperialist conflict, and that’s because the EU camp is upset over Trump’s making these concessions to the Russian side. And I think that we need to be careful as anti-imperialists not to side with either one of these camps, the United States or the EU. Obviously we side with Russia.
In all respects, we need to be fighting against imperialism, and it’s not class struggle for Trump and Putin to be shaking hands. These are merely developments that have the potential to give us more opportunities for advancing the class struggle. And how far Putin goes, it all depends on the outcome of the class struggle in both Russia and the broader world. The reason why Russia decided to pick a fight with NATO in the first place was because Russia’s Communist Party had been able to pressure Russia’s bourgeois government into doing that.
And that’s because there was already a mass momentum from the proletariat within Russia and Donbass, starting with people like the miners within the Donbass region who had been protesting for an anti-fascist action and separatism from the Ukrainian Nazi regime over the previous decade. So we need to all of us build upon this proletarian momentum that has emerged throughout this new Cold War. We’ve been able to get a lot of progress so far, but we are not yet anywhere close to the position of winning. There’s so much more that needs to be done within this fight.
Jeff: You just brought up a good point. And of course, it’s completely buried in the Western mainstream media, which I call the Big Lie Propaganda Machine, but the Russian Communist Party is the second biggest party in Russia. They have, I don’t know, I think something like 20 percent of the vote or something like that, 25 percent of the vote in the Duma, and so they are quite influential. Yeah, unfortunately, I think all this stuff that we need to talk about Palestine. Unfortunately, I think prospects for that part of the world are really, really, really dim.
And the reason is, is that Trump — and in fact, I call them the Natrumpmusko and Netanyahu, Trump and Elon Musk — to me, they’re just like a three-headed hydra. In Trump’s first term, he ramped up the Abraham Accords to extort and bribe neighboring countries to recognize the Jewish state diplomatically, and they’ve had some success: Morocco, and you can help me. Is it Dubai or Bahrain? One of them. No, no Bahrain or Qatar — has recognized them, and of course, Turkey is a Jewish state puppet.
But the fact of the matter is, is that they are doing to the West Bank exactly what they have already done to Gaza. They are just flattening it and slaughtering tens of thousands of people. Only the Jewish state can get away with this. It’s just shocking that nobody, Russia’s not doing anything. China’s not doing anything. You know, Iran really can’t do anything. And so they get away with this genocide, and as you call it, material destruction.
And I predict, and fortunately, I predict that by the end of Trump’s second term, Netrumpyahu moved the U.S. Embassy to East Jerusalem in his first term. This term, they are going to, the Jewish state is going to annex the West Bank before Trump leaves office. They will annex Gaza, whether they control it or not, they will claim it and annex it. And they will annex the Golan Heights, and they will more or less annex as much of West Syria as they possibly can get their hands on.
And of course, this goes all the way back to the Talmudic prophecies of greater Judea from the Nile to the Euphrates and to create a gigantic greater Judea. So I really feel terrible for the Palestinians. And I brought this up in the roundtable with the China Writers Group last week. They agreed with me. They said, yeah, it’s probably going to happen, but Palestine is going to be gobbled up by the Jewish state, but they just said there’s nothing that can be done about it.
Although Peter Man did say that he thought that Hamas would continue to fight to the very end, but Trump wants to build Trump Towers on the Gazan coast and they want that gas and oil off the coast of Gaza and they want to build a canal from Gaza to the Red Sea to cut out the Suez Canal. Even though Sisi and Egypt have been a Jewish state puppet for decades. That’s not good enough. So I really feel terrible for the Palestinians. I just don’t have any good feeling or good news for them for Trump’s second term. What do you think?
Rainer: Now, here’s something to consider. The state of Nazi Germany, which is quite a lot like the State of Israel, it was able to make so much progress in terms of material destruction and human destruction. It was able to take over the majority of Europe. It was able to do so much damage and expand so much, but it was not able to handle the consequences of that insane ambition. Within less than two decades, it’s destroyed itself or it provoked a fight that it could not deal with.
And of course, the Zionist state has been able to sustain itself a lot longer, but now it’s getting into a very perilous situation for itself. And these recent expansions are really repeating that old pattern of a Nazi state that overreaches and it’s not able to handle the repercussions. So a few months ago in December, the United States succeeded in overthrowing Assad’s government. And this allowed the Zionist state to invade Syria. And that was definitely a win for Zionism and for imperialism.
But a month later, Washington decided that a ceasefire had to happen in Gaza because Israeli society had already become so strained from the costs of this unwinnable endeavor, like this impossible endeavor to eliminate Hamas. And so, the Zionist entity had to make a compromise. They couldn’t handle Syria and Gaza at the same time. It had to choose one. And because Syria is seen as more important for imperialist interests, Washington needs Syria, or needs to secure Syria in order to pressure Russia, Syria is what was prioritized.
So now the Zionist entity is constantly provoking Gaza again, is provoking the resistance again through continued bombings. And even though the Zionist entity and the imperialists cannot or would not be able to handle a fight between Gaza and Syria at the same time, it seems inevitable that a new confrontation with Gazan resistance is coming. And when that confrontation comes, this is going to accelerate the collapse of Zionism and imperialism.
Jeff: Well, the problem is the difference is that the Nazis were somewhat isolated, although all the Western, the City of London and Wall Street and American and European industrialists supported Nazi Germany well into the war until Franklin Delano Roosevelt finally told the Americans they had to quit cooperating with them, they were eventually quite isolated other than the areas that they took control of. The Jewish state occupies the United States.
The Jewish state occupies the White House. The Jewish state occupies Congress. There are more flags of the Jewish state in Congress and the Senate than there are American flags. So they control the United States, and they control the United States government. People say, well, is it Israel or is it the United States? Well, clearly, it’s the Jewish state that is occupying and colonizing the United States.
And they just signed off on, what was it, 1,700, 2,000-pound bombs to ship to the Jewish state, and so the Jewish state has the biggest warmonger fully backing it, and that is the United States and the full force of its military although its capacity compared to China’s and Russia’s is really meager. And that’s another reason for the United States to get out of Ukraine is they can send all those arms to the Jewish state to exterminate as many people in the region as possible, all the way down to Yemen.
I mean, technically the Jewish state should have collapsed long ago, but it doesn’t because it is completely propped up by Uncle Slaughter, I like to call the United States, is completely propped up by Uncle Slaughter. And Uncle Slaughter does whatever the Jewish state tells them to do, although there may be something on the media: “We’re going to stop doing this,” or “Stop doing that.” But it never lasts, and the Jewish state gets exactly what it wants. So I feel terrible for the Palestinians.
And of course, China can’t and won’t do anything. Russia can’t and won’t do anything. Iran is just hunkered down trying to survive all the American sanctions and boycotts and financial extortion and everything else. So I feel terrible for him and I hope that none of them leave. The Jewish state just a couple of weeks ago set up an agency for voluntary repatriation, what is it called, “repatriation to other countries outside of Palestine.”
I’m sure some will sign up. But if a million sign up and they get repatriated to Morocco and other countries, that would be tough for the Palestinians to try to overcome if there’s that many that leave voluntarily. And they’re starving them. There’s kilometers of trucks lined up at the border to ship food and supplies to the Palestinians, and of course, the Jewish state is the only state in the world that can starve people and brag about it and get away with it. That really bothers me. I actually was there.
I traveled there for — I lived and worked in the Arab world for 10 years from 1980 to 1990 and I traveled to Palestine, Syria, and all the countries of the Middle East, Turkey. I was traveling all through that area. I learned Arabic. I learned fluent Arabic back in the ’80s. And so it’s an area that’s very dear to me, to my heart, and I love the people. I love the Arab people, the real Semites that actually came from that area, and they’re not from Europe and the Bronx. So, I hope that something changes. But with Trump in office, Natrumpmusko are going to gobble up a lot of territory in the next four years, and it breaks my heart.
Rainer: Once again, it depends on which direction the class struggle is going to take globally. But in this case, especially within the United States itself, we in the United States have such an opportunity to sabotage the machinations of the war machine, and if we take this opportunity, then we’re going to be able to greatly help our Palestinian comrades or fellow human beings who are being exterminated by this war machine.
So I think the big question for us is, will we rebuild the pro-Palestine movement in a sustainable way, in a way that can keep building upon its initial momentum. Because a year ago, amid the initial pro-Palestine demonstrations, lots of momentum was building up. And this was successfully pressuring the Biden administration to communicate to Israel that some limitations need to be in place. And that’s what Norman Finkelstein has argued.
He believes that because of the student protests, less deaths happened in Rafah than would have otherwise been the case. And that wasn’t much progress, but it was some progress. And if we’d been able to keep building upon those gains, then who knows how much progress we would have been able to get by this point. But there is not enough of an institutional basis for these protests; it was very reliant on the act of protest itself, which is quite limited as a tactic. And there needed to be more.
There needed to be a real construction of worker organizing institutions, community organizing — like, I go away for this movement to really build deep connections with the masses and not just engage in activities that fizzle out. And when it comes to building that new iteration of the pro-Palestine movement in America, I think that a crucial thing for anti-imperialist voices to do is warn people that the Trump administration is not like more anti-imperialist — that the Trump administration is not on their side.
Because there’s too much of tailism of Trump within our discourse. There are too many people who are only looking at the more positive aspects of Trump’s policy while ignoring the genocidal reality or trying to minimize it at least. And that hurts China, that hurts Palestine, that hurts the class struggle in the United States. It hurts us on all fronts. It hurts humanity on all fronts. And we need to shift the discourse towards a point where people are really looking at this in a principled way, looking at the struggle in a principled way.
Jeff: Well, I hope you’re right. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the polls are for the general population in the United States. And maybe you can tell me, but I do know that they’ve done polls in the Jewish state and in the United States, and something like over 90 percent of the Jewish people in the world, and almost all of them are either in the Jewish state or in the United States, over 90 percent of them rapidly support the genocide in Palestine.
They’re not doing enough. They need to do more. They need to slaughter more. Now, I don’t know if that’s true for the rest of the US population. I don’t know what the percentages are, but I don’t think 80 percent or 90 percent of the Americans are against the extermination and land theft going on in Palestine right now. Is it even 50 percent? Have you seen any polls or even 50 percent of Americans against what’s going on in Palestine?
Rainer: A year ago, a poll from Gallup came out saying that 55 percent of Americans wish that the military operation against Gaza would end. And that was a huge change compared to just a year earlier than that. And that’s because of just how much evidence of the Israeli atrocities had come out on places like TikTok by that point. Since October 7th, there has been an unprecedented consciousness shift in the United States.
Jeff: All around the world, the whole world.
Rainer: Oh, yeah. Yeah. The development of the like the directions that the American masses and the Israeli masses have taken, it’s been inverse. I mean, the younger generation of Israelis is even further to the right than the last generation because they’ve been more materially comfortable. So they’re just getting more genocidal as time goes on.
But in the United States, there is a growing dissatisfaction with capitalism as more and more people get proletarianized and screwed over by the neoliberal capitalism. And so that’s gone along with this increasing willingness to question the Pro-Zionist narratives, the question the government of the United States on the pro-war narratives.
Jeff: It’s withering. I mean, it is withering in the Chinese media. I mean, October 7th has just ripped the scab off of the Jewish state in China, and the Chinese are just brutally confronting the Jewish state, and there are articles that are being written, satirical articles, and satirical messages, and just horrible footage on. Well, TikTok in China, it’s the same company, but in China, it’s called Douyin.
And TikTok is the international version of Douyin. And Douyin, Weibo, and all — China has at least 25 or 30 different social media platforms. They don’t just have Instagram, Facebook, and what else is there? Instagram, Facebook, and whatever. They’ve got at least 25 or 30 different platforms, maybe more.
When I bought my Huawei China phone that was manufactured in China — and here it is right here. I have two — when I bought this one in China, it was preloaded with just an entire page of Chinese social media. And of course, I can’t keep up with all, I keep up with — Oh, BiliBili is another big one and Baidu. And now Little Red Book, the one that’s taken the United States by storm, the Little Red Book. I think they call it Red Note.
Rainer: Yeah.
Jeff: Which is ironically, they call it, it’s actually the Little Red Book, which is to pay homage to Mao Zedong. So, that’s deliciously subversive. But anyway, they are absolutely unrelenting in their disgust and revulsion about what the Jewish state is doing. And I can guarantee you that they are priming themselves to make sure that the Jewish state does not colonize and occupy China. It will never happen, especially after October 7th, because the people are very, very aware of what’s going on, much, much more than — well, Europe is totally brainwashed.
And it’s first you can’t criticize Zionism. You can’t criticize the Jewish state. And there’s a pending law that you can’t say anything bad about Jews. So, of course, you can’t question the Holocaust. And so Europe is completely, even more than the United States, is completely controlled by the Jewish state. So let’s hope that other countries besides China can maybe cause enough reaction that something happens.
Every night I go to sleep and I close my eyes and I think about those poor Palestinians and all the people in that region, Syria and Yemen, and I hope you’re right. I hope that there is a positive change in spite of the fact that the White House, the Congress, and many of the state houses, state governments are controlled by the Jewish stone. And it was the judges. It’s pretty bad. And of course, the media is just horrible. And so I hope you’re right. I do want to end our discussion on a positive note. So tell us one more positive thing before we say goodbye, Rainer.
Rainer: Let’s see. Let’s see. There are definitely forces within the United States that seriously emphasize class struggle that are serious about the Palestinian cause. And one of these forces founded fairly recently last summer is called the American Communist Party. And I recently joined that party. What it’s done so far is above and beyond what most other self-described communist organizations in the United States have done throughout the last 50 years.
It’s been reaching out to the unions, not just reaching out, but materially assisting the workers in their struggles. It’s been doing lots of great work for communities across the country, helping people who are in need. And it has lots of momentum, so it’s going in a direction of being able to win over the American masses. Hasn’t done so yet but it’s on the right track. And ACP is just one among countless positive forces throughout the globe, forces that are working for the Palestinian struggle and for the class struggle. And we need to all of us link up and take down the U.S. Empire.
Jeff: Well, it’s funny you mentioned the ACP because there’s a member of the China Writers Group, Chet Osman, who subtitles Chinese movies and does audiobooks of Chinese books in English. And he’s a member of the ACP. He’s on Twitter and he talks about, also in our chat group — we have an email group — and he talks about also the wonderful things that the ACP is doing and how they are helping develop small businesses.
And In fact, the way you describe it, it sounds like the Black Panther Party back in the ’60s and ’70s, before they were exterminated by the FBI and the CIA. I just crossed my fingers that it does not get infiltrated. That is, of course, the big, big, big issue is that it doesn’t become full of moles who destroy it internally. So, I’ll take a look at it. I’m a member of the French Communist Party, but it’s so gentrified and so triangulated. It’s more out of symbolism that I’m a member.
I have my card in my pocket, but I did want to be a part of a communist party, and there were so many in the United States, and I could see that so many of them looked like they had been compromised and triangulated and gentrified. But I’m not going to change now. I mean, I’ll stick with the PCF, so that I can proudly say that I’m a card-carrying member of the Communist Party. Well, listen, Rainer, this has been fun. Thank you for contacting me and reaching out to me, and thank you for a great discussion. I admire you. How old are you? Can I ask you?
Rainer: And now I’m 24.
Jeff: Oh, so you’re 24. And how long have you been a revolutionary?
Rainer: I got pulled into the political struggle at 15, 16 with Bernie Sanders. And back then, I was only engaged — I was only a revolutionary in name only because I was following Bernie Sanders. He’s not really a revolutionary at all. He’s a counter-revolutionary who uses the word “revolution.” So I had to unlearn that false narrative as he was feeding me.
Jeff: And he’s turned — he’s another controlled opposition. RFK Jr. now is showing that he’s controlled opposition. That’s what they do. They create opposition and then they manage both to create conflict and keep people separated and divided. And unfortunately, it works. Wow. So you’ve been at the ripe young age of 24, you’ve been after this for eight years. I’m really impressed.
Well, we need more Rainer Sheas in the West. So I hope that a lot of people will watch this and get inspired by you. Please email me the ACP’s website and I’ll put that in the interview page, and any other links that you think might be useful. And thanks again for a great show. And as I do with all of my guests, I will give you a Buddhist bow. I will give you a Buddhist bow from Taiwan, China. And appreciate you reaching out and making this happen.
