    The man is a grifter. He has a BA in English literature (writing as entertainment and art) and then paints himself as a Geo-political analyst and historian using game theory.

    He may well be a grifter but a similar argument was/is used against Grover Furr.

      Grover Furr wasn’t claiming to predict the future. He had a PhD in Medieval Literature which is history adjacent and his work followed standard practices in historical academia he just didn’t cite a wide range of sources.

      Jiang makes claims about the future with no citations. His methodology is 100% “trust me bro.”
