The CCP has a goal of self preservation. They would happily starve 50 million of their own citizens to death if it supported that goal. Hardly "common prosperity" though is it?

The CCP fears democracy and the free flow of information because it knows it would not last long if the Chinese people were given a real choice.

The CCP fears China will jilt Politics and Military as its cultural priorities which is like China jilting North America (Politics) and the Middle-East (Military) from dominating it and allowing the Mathmaticians and Accountants to make the country more prosperous.


Even Nelson Mandela knew that Sport will empower Africa more than what Politics could. Survival of the 'fittest' works in Africa. Not survival of the 'talker'.

Then, this lead to the next question.  If the Chinese government is willing to sacrifice the lives of 50 million to gain an advantage.   Then, what are we willing to sacrifice to compete?

We became enslaved as America's 51st State.

It's not a competition to see who can kill the most of their own citizens.
