Interesting, but I wonder how much of this is historically accurate given the political bias? The portrayal seems heavily one-sided, but I guess that's inevitable when dealing with such a controversial figure.
The way she manipulated the Red Guards to target her rivals is chilling. It's scary how someone can gain that much power and then lose it all so quickly.
Wow, this was an incredibly thorough deep dive into someone I only knew a little about. The part about her early life in Shanghai and the scandals really puts her later actions into perspective.
Her story reads like a soap opera plot but with real history. I can't believe she went from actress to first lady to 'white bone demon' – talk about a fall from grace.
Anything is better than capitalism. The WARmerican terrorist regime (born in 1947) is much worse than WWII Germany and that was BEFORE the biden & trump gen@cide/Apartheid sponsorship, unaliving women and children DAILY just like WWII Germany. 2018 study: “After World War II, the U.S. Regime Has Killed 25-30 Million People” (mostly civilians). Prof. John Mearshiemer says the number is 38 million. WARmerica supports Ukronazis, zionazis, and have now put Al Qaeda leadership in control of Syria to steal it for… the illegal lend theft zionazi project. Stealing land from many countries just like WWII Germany but unaliving MANY more than WWII Germany.

Destroying a country starts with a child. China's infiltration, corrosion, recruitment, and bribery of the US and Europe are comprehensive, surpassing even the Nazis!
Fang Wei: "British investigative media UnHerd revealed that 240 independent private schools across the U.S.—from Montessori kindergartens in California and STEM elementary schools in Texas to top BASIS Elite Schools in New York and Washington, D.C.—all belong to the same group, the 'Spring Education Group.' The true controller behind it is Hu Zuliu, a Chinese tycoon and founder of Prima Capital who calls himself 'Red Fred.' He is a well-known investor on Wall Street, but in China, he has long served as a member of the Hunan Provincial Political Consultative Conference and is also a core member of the United Front Platform 'European and American Classmates' named by the US-China Economic and Security Review Committee. After this was exposed, Trump also said he would bring in 600,000 Chinese students, which could bring $32 billion in revenue to the U.S. It seems Trump is also in the spotlight. TikTok is extremely toxic to Americans, and Trump doesn't ban it, which is why I criticize Trump.
From New York, USA to Paris, France, from Mamdani to Hu Zuliu, a member of the Chinese Communist Party's Hunan Political Consultative Conference, the alliance between Islam and communism is destroying Western civilization and attempting to dominate the world!

Mamdani's idea is a dream for parents and could set an example for the mayor of Paris
On August 16, the first "parents' evening" took place in New York. An initiative that has touched few families, but has done them a lot of good.

IN BRIEF
• On August 16, New York City hosted a "Parents' Night" offering four hours of free babysitting for children ages 6 to 13.
• The initiative allowed parents to relax, inspiring similar reflections in Paris to support single-parent families.
• Although only 265 families benefited, the event was very popular in a city where babysitting is expensive.

A small moment for the children, but a big breath for the parents. In New York, Mamdani's administration offered a special event to taxpayers: a babysitting party.

Childcare for work, a daily and precarious struggle for single mothers
On August 16, for four hours, parents in the Big Apple were able to drop off their children aged 6 to 13 at five leisure centres for four hours, free of charge. This will allow them to find "a little time to see a movie, go shopping, or enjoy a romantic evening without worrying about childcare or its price," according to the mayor.
A program that is enough to make you dream, including on our side of the Atlantic. The proof: Emmanuel Grégoire's entourage in Paris told HuffPost that the experiment conducted by Mamdani is "inspiring". "We want Paris to better support new vulnerabilities, including single parents. This experiment is an example for us. »
A break for parents
"Making New York more accessible is not only about lowering costs, it's also about giving back time to the population," said the young mayor to explain his "Parents' Evening" project. During this time, young New Yorkers were offered sports or creative activities, visits to cultural sites, as well as free dinner and snacks.
Something to delight those who have benefited from it. Like Jennifer and her partner, who used the occasion to celebrate their eleventh wedding anniversary a few months late, or the single mother who took advantage of "being alone at home," which rarely happens, to "rest, have a bite to eat and watch TV," says The Cut.
According to the Big Apple mayor's office, which took stock of the experience yesterday, 29% spent the four hours offered taking time for themselves, 22% jumped at the chance to set up a date, and 9% went to spend time with friends or family.
A welcome break in a city where the price of an hour of babysitting is around $30, reports the New York Times , which nevertheless recalls that only 265 families, a tiny part of the population, were able to enjoy the event.
She is also the inventor of "Shen Yun" dance theatrics, which in America it passes as the "ancient Chinese" this or that! In reality, it is a mixture of Soviet political stage dancing, mixed with some make-believe Chinese "traditional" clothing. The Nexons, when they visited China, were shown one of these, choreographed by this lady. That is where both Nixons were verbally insulted by Jiang Qing as well.
It seems to me, she used her husband & his -ism only as ladder to ultimate power though she cared for neither. Her mistake was to be ignorant of how the common people actually saw her husband – not a hero, not a villain, but an anti-hero. Thus, she paid for the mistakes of her husband out of sheer ignorance. Her lust for power blinded her to reality.
