Too much fake in China except corruption - Ze-kiun

Retried archbishop of Hong Kong Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun, who grew up in Shanghai, is nervous of the current negotiations between China and the Vatican.

He says he is not opposed to any deal, rather he is opposed to a bad deal.

Economically China is going to have trouble. There is too much that is fake, except for corruption.

Zen goes on to say that everything is unpredictable in China and refuses to predict whether or when Communism will fall.

We may have to wait 50 years, or it may be five weeks. Anything is possible because we have this continuous power struggle.

President Xi Jinping is becoming so powerful that China watchers are talking of a second coming of Mao Zedong.
