    CCP is not pro anything. It’s funny how autocracy founded on explicit design documents is one the biggest real politik actors out there.

    “Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.” - 1984

    CCP officially justifies these as “use any means for achieving goals” and this is the entire party - just power for power sake. There’s no actual ideology or consciousness - it’s literally “The Party” from 1984. However I don’t want to discredit Chinese people who actually do make meaningful change but it’s in spite of CCP not because of it.
