This sort of rule reflects the classic Chinese cultural tendency of looking up to the state to be a sort of "nanny" or "guardian" of society. It's much more a Confucian cultural thing than a CCP thing if you know anything about China's history beyond the superficial crap that both MSNBC and Fox would show you. I am pretty sure that many American parents who are dealing with their uncontrollable kids would secretly admire and envy the Chinese.....

Cuz most People on the Left are not capable of critical thinking or lack critical thinking skills. Plus, they are easily convince with propaganda slogans that they hear and are too eager to conform to group thinking than self thinking.

The Communist Chinese are not stupid since they know that they can defeat America by burning it down from the inside, simply using the lowest of the lowest information voters within the US.

A lot cheap than going to war.

After living and working in China, I see several benefits of their system including the fact that once the CCP decides to do anything, they can go full scale without any threats of interference from other stakeholders. The problem is when they have bad leadership, like during Mao's day, there's no way to throw the bums out.
This has been generally my take on China (and Russia) with regards to centralized power.

It's great when they're making good decisions but they can drive the proverbial bus off the cliff when they make a bad decision and if they start to get a little wild\crazy you can't get rid of them.

Historically, one could argue that some of those countries have been their own greatest enemy. (Like Mao)

100%! Today's left would rather NOT think because, gasp, they might be guilty of spreading misinformation, disinformation or conspiracy theories. Interesting how the media has boxed in half of our nation. So instead these people are just waiting for the next command or directive from CNN or the Biden Administration. Isn't that a scary thought? Shudder!

Pretty much right on. Exactly why the academia world are all leftists. They just absorb the information, spit it out and repeat.

There's zero critical thinking, they have indoctrinated for so long on what to think, that self-thought has completely disappeared.

I fled from communism, became a citizen, then a veteran. Now I see Marxism openly celebrated in the US Congress and American political and cultural elites looks to China for guidance.

The want to be 'looked after' or 'tended' is intellectually strong in the American Left. The failure of the Soviet Union did not deterred them. Now China is the next model. Look at the collusion of the Democratic Party, the tech leaders, and the media. The Chinese model of governance is what they are after.
Because both are trying to destroy America as we know a love it.

The Communist Chinese see that they can have a road in through the Democrat Party because they are big on federal government while the Republican Party are big on states rights. It is much easier to infiltrate for purposes of a dictatorship to use the Democrat big federal government as a dictatorship growing big federal government to clamp down on the people such as communism does. The Chinese communists wouldn't have a road in because the Republicans are for states rights which are 50 states and could not penetrate in any way of all the states becoming a dictatorship or a totalitarian government. The Democrats are for big big and bigger federal government. And more totalitarian control of the American people.
