It might surprise you, but the one thing the CCP is afraid of, are the people. There are protests and demonstrations in China. And often they are successful in reversing a policy or getting a government official who thought of some crazy shit, fired.

These things obviously do not get reported in the west. Only the bad things because that affirms the view of China.

I personally witnessed the protests during the covid period in Shanghai. Not long after, all covid restrictions where lifted.

There are two kinds of people in China: those who are literally marginalized, and those who are on the take within the government and love doing all that wolf-warrior garbage.

So many fucking tanks here.
