The chinese work like clockwork Robots, the CCP bosses have laid out distinct plans on what the chinese nation should do over a period of time - probably worked out a plan of action for the next 50 years or so, and like busy ants the billion plus chinese follow those instructions to the tee - one would say they are not smart to follow the dictat's of their leaders against their own freedom and free thoughts - but the thing is that's how they operate and it's how a bunch of people run and control the lives of a billion plus humans. Their initial goal was to come to near standards of the western countries which they think they have nearly achieved,Now it's for the second step of the plan, they already have a list of their enemies and they have a sequence to tackle each enemy in a numerical order. What their enemies should do is routinely topple their apple cart and then they go into a quandary and wait for further instructions and plan of action from their bosses.
It's actually simple to get them confused if planned right.
