You may be thinking I have Sinophobia, let me correct, I definitely have CPCphobia, not Sinophobia. I agree the common Chinese man may differ from any regional, ethnic, or country character but that is understandable, we can deal with human differences but the malfeasance unleashed by China’s CPC, is a scourge bigger than any radicalism, and terrorism. It is not paranoia but a real threat to the very nature of humanity – of liberalism, of independence, of ideological pursuit, of enterprises (a few idiosyncrasies that are at the core and that define us.
Technological achievements are not an indicator nor are materialistic achievements. The level of suppression that the CPC has unleashed, has resulted in a national ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ within China.

The only option to leave life is to align with the state ideology.
