China's rulers must tell two contradictory stories about their country and its future

Blithely discounting the Communists’ pro-Soviet, anti-imperialist rhetoric, the Westerners focused on the party’s stated mission to save the country from hunger and want. That would surely involve trade with the West, and thus them. At the American Chamber of Commerce a day after Shanghai’s takeover, Cabot found members convinced that they would thrive under Communist rule. “The rejoicing couldn’t have been greater if the city had been liberated by American forces,” the diplomat recorded drily.

Back in 1949 this quelling of panic among the outgoing elites involved deft rhetorical conjuring by Mao and party leaders. For even as they downplayed their radicalism when addressing the old establishment, they successfully wooed ordinary Chinese with visions of transformation and revolution. Peasants were recruited to Communist armies with promises of land after the war, when rural property-owners would be destroyed as a class.

China will be strong and powerful if they are going for their own global currency. America used its global currency to punish many countries. Countries could not even buy medicine and face masks because of Trump's ugly policy to monitor transfer of funds for trade.

Maybe they will invite ChinaJoe for a party

Meanwhile the western media attack the west instead

The World should should always remember that CHINA is responsible every single covid death in the World

China had a 💯 year plan put into place. America’s 💯 year celebrations are the Red Summers and insurrection.

Pretty sure they will achieve their aims and objectives They always work to a 1000 year plan broken down into 100 years The West- only plan to survive for today

China plans to dominate the world. There are already preparing for war with America. Why else would the be spending so much on building up their military hardware?

It must be pretty nice to be a pro-cap, pro-oligarchy publication these days. You just need to mention communism, and you'll immediately have an army of US citizens who don't know what communism is, Kool-Aid-Manning into the room to shout about it.

Evil old man! When are you going to kick the bucket?

They are a good communist. 🤣😂😪

Nothing new from this Chaguan guy.

Mixed signals everywhere. No one knows what they're doing. Everyone is taking every day as it comes.

See? They're not so different from America.
