The west has trouble grasping what China and CCP is about. This thread might help. Classic Chinese civilization peaked at its “war of states” era, where most of the scholars worth mentioned lived and thrived. The era ended when one state conquered all the rest 6 states.
The Qin dynasty commited genocide, largely wiped out the identities of the 6 states, and established the foundation of a centralized power. The 6 states tried to fight back but failed. After that, China’s political system never really changed. Mao described this in his poem.
“For 100 generations we execute the political structures of Qin” Mao wrote. No matter which family, which foreign power, which party is in charge, the political structure has never changed. It was, and has been an empire. A ruling class sit on the back of an army of slaves.
