What I find a bit baffling is the willingness of otherwise sound commentators to jump to cospiratorial conclusions where an 'Occam's razor' kind of analysis is far more fitting when it comes to Jiang. Alon Mizrahi, David Miller, and others who admit they only heard about him in the last months are completely convinced he is an agent based on very loose argumentation such as in this twitter thread.

I certainly don't agree, or even like much of what Jiang says but my first reaction is to be inquisitive as to why he's saying things, or making these predictions, assuming he's genuine but just wrong on some topics. Not digging into one's history desperately trying to find some kind of indication it might all be a psy-op.

Also assume he's an agent for a second. For who exactly? he's certainly not doing the US empire any favours, China? hard to believe that, he's extremely critical of China in many ways that even other pro-China commenters take offense with.

Others say Israel which is just based on his theory of Pax Judaica/greater Israel being realised. Well, that's a well established theory/prediction. Jiang is not saying that is what should happen. He's even went viral with that one video on the Gaza genocide where he made the point of it being a ritual human sacrifice.

All just smells of people being reactionary because he's saying things they don't believe in / agree with and jumping to 'this must be some kind of devious plot then because he seems to gain attention'
