## Why PBC should follow
Lei's Real Talk provides China-focused geopolitics, finance, censorship, demographics and totalitarian-government analysis from a bilingual creator with Chinese background. This is useful as an Outside Canada / China-watch / geopolitical-risk lead source for PBC.

## Best PBC lane
Outside Canada, China watch, geopolitics, censorship, economic-risk and authoritarian-state monitoring.

## Evidence caution
Use as a lead source, not final proof. Verify China demographic claims, CCP policy claims, economic statistics, military/security allegations, sanctions, Taiwan/Sino-U.S. claims and translated material against primary documents, official statistics, reputable reporting and independent China analysts before publishing PBC claims.
