This is CBSI on the world. I'm John Betts with my colleague, Gregory Copley, Defense and Foreign Affairs.

Gregory is spoken of the CCP and its military that is not ready to fight and will not fight.

However, there is more to the failure of the CCP than just guns and ships.

Gregory, two stories, one from Serbia in these last days.

A suburb about an hour outside of Belgrade named Novi Sad,

where the Chinese construction company that's affiliated with all the overseas building came in and built a depot.

Well, one day, the depot roof collapsed and killed 16 young people.

Since that day, there's been protest in Belgrade and other cities, to the point that the FDT now reports that Vuchich, the long-time leader

since 2013, I believe, is now ready to depart. They want him out, and they're protesting not just

students anymore, but lawyers and doctors and hospital workers, saying that your gang

took money to bring the Chinese in, and they built a death trap. And we want you out. One story

about Chinese Belt and Road. We can tell the story of the dam in Ecuador that leaks and cracks all the time,

changing the course of the river and not delivering electricity. We could tell all those stories,

but this right now is going to push Vuchits, we're told, out of office. Vuchich was the only man in

Europe that greeted Xi Jinping when he made that embassy last year to Europe. He went to Brussels

for the EU and then he stopped in Serbia. Well, that Vouchish is going despite the propping up of Russia

and China. Second story, the night after Mr. Trump announced the Liberation Day, reciprocal

tariffs, colleague of mine in Europe took phone calls from his factory in China.

Pearl River Basin, electronics, small manufacturer, nothing of the state-owned enterprise,

small, surrounded by small manufacturing.

And what he conveyed his colleague in the mainland was that all of his neighbors are ready to quit.

They can't do it.
