Most Americans are familiar with what the Chinese Communist Party consists of but as we move into a new generation, this knowledge seems to fade into the abyss of propaganda and indoctrination. Young Americans have been led away from CCP awareness over the last three decades and attempting to redirect their attention has become more than challenging. In this article we will expose the intentions of the CCP and the timeline of their strategic attempt to indoctrinate young Americans into the harmful ideologies of communism.
What is the CCP? If we were to visit a college campus here in the states, many students would pose this question. However, the boomer generation would likely have an immediate and accurate response. Where is the disconnect in awareness between these two age groups? The transparency can be found when reflecting on events over the last 30 years.
When analyzing a specific generation’s knowledge and beliefs, we must review a timeline of influences they have encountered in their environment. These influences include media, politics, and education. Education is the most influential of the three influences because it is the most deliberate in informing children how to think and behave. The unfortunate dilemma with this type of analysis is that we often don’t see the patterns and correlations until significant time has lapsed. Similar to the health field, these patterns are often found after the damage has been done. In contrast to our ability to develop cures for physical ailments, when it comes to belief systems being shaped over several decades, a solution will be much more difficult. When people have been subjected to the same programing and indoctrination from a small child to an educated adult, it is arduous to change their perspective. This long-term strategy is a successful way to create atotalitarian society.
However, on a more positive note, we can take this information and use it to improve the next generation to come. Bringing awareness is using our most vital right, the right to free speech, to open the eyes of Americans to the harmful agendas that have snuck into our country. The goal of this article is to present information and correlations capable of bringing transparency to the CCP agenda in our country with the intention of waking up the younger generation from their indoctrinated slumber to understanding what a totalitarian society consists of.
What is the CCP?
According to Wikipedia, the Chinese Communist Party is:
“organized on the basis of democratic centralism, a principle that entails open discussion of policy on the condition of unity among party members in upholding the agreed-upon decision”.
The CCP is the ruling party over the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The party refers to their belief system as socialist with “Chinese characteristics”. Many would debate this could be swapped out for “communist characteristics”. The CCP is the second largest political party in the world with over 96 million members and controls China’s police, government, and military with this power set in stone by the Chinese constitution. The president of the CCP is Xi Jinping and the parliament is known as the National People’s Congress.
Despite having one ruling party over the fourth largest country in the world, BBC reported that only around 7% of the population are loyal members. Of this 7% (6.66%), only 3,000 make up the National People’s Congress. This especially small group of members makes up the most powerful and successful party in the country. Remember, Chinas population is 1.412 billion. As for the remaining 1.3 billion, those in opposition are prohibited by law to express this opposition in any way with the consequence being persecution. As Americans, this should be an alarming consequence to note because prohibiting opposition goes against most of our amendments in the constitution. In the United States, each person gets 100% representation. We can be grateful for this right when we reflect on countries such as China allowing one person to make decisions in favor of 96 million people while simply disregarding the other 1.3 billion. This central rule over individual life is what’s known as totalitarianism.
A more recent disturbing detail is the change in term limits for presidency. Throughout Chinese history the party limited presidential terms to two, but in 2018 they ruled Xi Jinping to be able to serve indefinitely. This was an alarming decision that only stacked on top of China’s troubling agendas. Xi Jingping has been accused of being the most controlling leader in the history of the country. His main tactic in gaining totalitarian control is controlling the media, news, and education. These same three influences are increasingly becoming controlled here in the United States and China’s hands are not clean. Jingping also uses opposition consequences to control China. By this I mean civilians are threatened with torture, starvation, or worse, if they do not comply with totalitarian authority. These are the actions really of a brutal dictator.
American Rights Protect Our Vulnerability
While our society is susceptible to the same control via media, news, and education, we are privileged to have a constitution protecting our speech and individual freedom at all times. This is why we must exercise our rights and expose the above three tactics which are also currently being used in the United States to prevent granting control.
If we succumb to a socialist system, we are handing over our individual freedom in exchange for an existence with a political system that has laws allowing for party member rule, such as that in China. While we are manipulated to believe the agenda is for the better of society, we find this to be false after the agreement into socialism has been established. At that point of realization, we cannot simply retract what we voted for because the totalitarian agenda will already be in place and quite simply, legally, take over. In The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents--The Definitive Edition (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek, Volume 2), this socialist system can be clearly understood and serves as a beacon call to warn us to avoid the fate of Italy, Germany, Venezuela, and all the others and of course China. The system China has would be totally unlivable for very many if not most American’s and would surely lead to the worst kind of violence.
Another important matter to note is that censorship and persecution of opposition is yet another source that often boils into a revolt and China is like a teapot ready to explode! The more obvious assumption here is a revolt from the 1.3 billion Chinese civilians under the totalitarian rule. However, those who lie within the 96 million (7%) are also factors in this prediction. Of the top 7% only around 3,000 consist of the significantly powerful. The rest are simply card-carrying communist members. Everyone has a part in protecting the top 3,000 and this support feeds off of life-threatening consequences (the 1.3 billion) and power (the 7%).
China is a loose cannon and many people who have continuously studied the CCP predict it will boil over sometime relatively soon if not in the near future. The Coming Collapse of China by Gordan Chang is a great read for analyzing predictions and dynamics of a possible people’s revolt in China. It is also informative for those not familiar with China’s agenda in general. Gordon Chang is a Chinese American lawyer who worked as a lawyer in China for over two decades, giving him experience in China’s economic and social dynamics.
Why does the CCP want to gain control in America?
When it comes to the transparency in power, most paths will lead straight to money. China has complete control over its society and thus needs little effort to keep its 7% at the top of the pyramid with everyone else kept below as peasants and pawns. So what shall a country do after total dominance on its own soil? It seeks additional turf to access and control. The irony of wealth and money is that the top becomes indefinite; there will always be the possibility of gaining more. This dynamic can be seen within the United States as well and its growing into a significant threat to our freedom and democracy.
When we ponder on the idea of an elite status, we also need to consider those below in this pyramid scheme. Surely people would not jump on board with the idea of peasants and rulers because this is a dynamic of the past. However, China is much smarter at this game than the average American is led to believe. In order to expand on this notion, let’s explore the strata system in China.
Strata is a social structure that China heavily relies on. It consists of defining people by their economic status. The top class is the emperor and his family, followed by the government officials, thus making up the 7% we discussed earlier. Then comes the other 1.3 billion people who are categized as agriculturists, landlords, farmers, peasants, artisans and merchants. In short, the largest portion of the country consists of the working class which China claims strengthened the economy. In more simple terms, China expanded the brunt of society to becoming middle working class. This is the social reform that China boasts about and how they gain a supportive perspective from their own society and foreign countries. However, there still lies one pertinent detail; the higher class will always remain elite so long as the working class is unable to access upward mobility. This is the irony of a socialist society. Most of the population is privileged with an average income while those at the top indefinitely fill their pockets and remain in power and control. When referring to class, China denies existence of a ruling class, but the analysis of numbers cannot be overlooked. According to 2013 report by the McKinsey Consulting Firm as stated on Foreign Policy.,
“…3 percent of the total 256 million urban Chinese households as affluent with an annual disposable income of more than $34,000, 14 percent as upper middle class with an annual disposable income between $16,000 and $34,000, and 54 percent as mass middle class with an annual disposable income between $9,000 and $16,000. The rest were defined as poor”.
Now that we have discussed the dynamic between the working class and the elite, we need to draw our attention to the class of poverty. China claims to have nearly eliminated poverty over the last few years despite the pandemic putting the global economy into chaos. To introduce the understanding of poverty, lets first uncover what a poverty line is. According to the World Bank as stated by Chief Economist Indermit Gill,
“…a threshold of $1.90 a day is appropriate for countries with per capita incomes of less than $1,000 or so, such as Ethiopia. For lower-middle-income countries such as India—with per capita incomes between $1,000 and about $4,000—it recommends a poverty line of $3.20 a day. For upper-middle-income countries like China, it reckons that a reasonable poverty line is $5.50 a day”..
Despite this information presented by the World Bank, China sets its poverty line at an astonishing $2.25 per day, equivalent to less than half what the World Bank calculates it should be. This is an amount sufficient for a lower-middle-income country, not China which is the second richest country in the world with a $17.734 trillion GDP. The United States is the richest country of all. In 1960, when the United States economy was at a historic high, poverty was determined at $21.70 per day. Today, China’s economy can be compared to the 1960 US yet they keep their poverty daily consumption amount equal to poor countries such and India. Gill and his colleague Eric Dixon used this information to conclude that China is “years, if not decades, behind schedule” and that if they were to use the fair consumption rate, “between 80 and 90 percent of Chinese people would today be considered poor”.
This is a perfect example of why we must dive deeper into statistics and not immediately believe what the media and China itself proclaims. They set a low consumption rate for poverty so that they can label a large majority of the country as working class while limiting upward mobility to keep a cap on rising from working-middle to upper-class. They additionally spent over $800 billion in 2020 to guarantee the Chinese People adequate health care, housing, and education, proving their dedication to this fair image.
The important point to highlight with the above information is that China is attempting to convince the Chinese people that it is eradicating poverty and ensuring a sufficient well-being in order to take the spotlight off of the CCP inching China towards becoming the richest country in the world while only benefiting the top 7% of the 1.4 billion person population. This strategy is the epitome of socialism transitioning into communism. The government ensures a less than mediocre life for all while they reap the indefinite upward mobility of wealth and power. It sounds charming on paper, but a deeper look reveals the totalitarian agenda. As the pandemic swept through the United States, we began seeing a similar attempt by our Democratic government to first disarm us of wealth and then replace it with a calculated replacement and claim our economy was saved and improved.
Fast-forward to China in 2021, and the switch from helping the economy and eradicating the effects of poverty to nearly starving the Chinese people, has become transparent. The Omicron strain of COVID19 has made its way through the nation over the last 12 months. However, The Sun announced that according to studies, this strain was significantly milder than the previous strains. In the UK, it was reported that the Omicron caused over 50% less hospitalizations than the Delta. In 2022 we saw a dramatic drop in lockdowns and mandates in the US and several other countries across the nation. China, on the other hand, has been leading its society in a different direction that has nearly resulted in starvation. Chinese government demanded that the Chinese people remain in their homes except to be tested for the virus. This totalitarian authority has led millions of Chinese people to starvation, with one man in 2022 reportedly pursuing arrest just to receive something to eat. The Chinese people were attacked and jailed for leaving their homes with the power of “preventing spread” keeping these persecutions justified. Many additionally had no running water, no sewage connections, and were secluded in small spaces.
When we reflect on America, we can see similar socialist values creeping in from the Democratic agendas. For example, the COVID19 pandemic was a transparent attempt to present socialist values and study the reaction of society. While the younger generation views stimulus checks, student debt relief, and the waving of bills as a positive handout, many of us could immediately spot the agenda behind these gifts from the government. The trick with socialism is it’s appealing to the lower and lower middle class because it solves the immediate hardships such as financial distress. But what is often misunderstood and overlooked is the price this assistance comes at. By price, I mean our liberty and freedom. After reading about the strata system in China and how much power it allowed the CCP to gain, one’s eye may be opened to the threat here on American soil.
Elite America does not face the repercussions of control because wealth is power. The CCP is seeking to take advantage of our elite by offering more wealth and power in exchange for complete control and takeover of the American people, such as you and I. However, gaining this control is not as straight forward as the Chinese discovered within their own country because of our constitution and the freedom it promises and provides. In a sense, the American elite are pawns of the CCP and the average American is a pawn of the American elite. The CCP must gain control over our leaders and dictators in order to control our society. This is where the Biden Administration fits into this article. President Joe Biden is the puppet of elite America’s unspoken of agreement with the CCP.
The Democratic party has been a longtime pawn of the CCP agenda but over the last 3 years, their intentions became more transparent than ever. Our constitution creates a safeguard over us from totalitarianism which is why the Democrats must utilize indoctrination and propaganda to gain control over American society. This can take many decades because they must convince Americans to make the choice on their own instead of demanding submission. The only way to strategically bring this agenda into fruition is to manipulate our belief system from child to adult. This is where public education and other influences come into play. If the Democrats can get the American people to truly believe in the ideologies of communism by way of virtue signaling agendas and false hopes of humanity, then the door will be wide open for the CCP and we will have opened it ourselves.
The Democrat Party Agenda
The United States Democratic Party attempted for a similar lockdown to China’s current state but our right to opposition prevented our government from taking our lockdowns as far as China. What is significant here is that there was an attempt by our government in the first place.
Though the Democrats were unable to starve us and take complete control, they still gained power in other more calculated ways. If they couldn’t control us with compliance, they knew they could receive such desired compliance if they caused division first. By division, I mean putting Americans in position to choose sides based on virtue signaling for humanity. When we reflect on the last 3 years of the pandemic, we can note dramatic events such as the BLM riots, increased censorship over America first values, forced indoctrination on our youth via the education system, and the division of society through politics and health mandates. These events are more than a coincidence during the same time period as the virus.
First the Democrat agenda divided us by race; minorities vs whites became the focus. We watched our biggest cities get burned down and filled with violence as BLM riots raced through and the police force became weakened. This racial divide then evolved out of POC vs white to Democrat vs Republican. From there, the agenda for control became easy.
The Democrats gained significant support over their claim to be supportive of minorities while they pushed the Republicans as becoming far-right white supremacists. Though the Democrats had little to no evidence of such claims, the BLM protests forced many Americans to jump on board out of fear of being labeled as racist. They then began integrating other virtue signals such as censorship and health mandates which seamlessly fell into acceptance by the Democratic followers. Republicans and other Americans who chose to stand by their freedom and liberty were isolated by censorship, negative media coverage, and disproval of their non-compliance with mask and vaccine mandates. In a country founded and cherished for individual freedom, we saw the Democrat agenda slowly diminish this American liberty. How you might ask? By simply dividing us by skin color and forcing the idea of right and wrong by fear mongering notions of death, job loss, and isolation. These tactics align with the CCP agenda but were manipulated into our society through the misleading determination of protecting and improving humanity.
Tactics of Indoctrination
The reason the above tactics were able to be so smoothly introduced and accepted by Americans is because the Democratic party has many tools and these tools prove to be an efficient strategy. The tools I am referring to are the media and politics.
Media
The media consists of the information and propaganda we are exposed to in movies, advertisements, news and any other form of mass communication. The Democrat party is largely involved in both Hollywood and journalism, two of the most powerful forms of media in our country. When looking at Hollywood, we can see that most celebrities and artists support the Democratic party and push their agendas and views. I still have a haunting memory of Taylor Swift posting “vote Biden” cookies on her Instagram during the Biden vs Trump race. But these elite don’t need to be upfront with who they are voting for in order to influence Americans. They can support certain movements such as Black Lives Matter or comply with regulations such as the vaccine and masks mandates. Those choices alone directly influence what we believe to be right and wrong because many people idolize these figures. The consequences of these influencers not complying with the agenda are censorship and ultimately the destroying of their career.
In the last few years we saw a new term rise up from the pandemic and racial protests. The term I am referring to is “canceled” and the meaning couldn’t be more literal. The celebrities we saw defying BLM values, or refusing mandates, were canceled and isolated as far-right extremists out to put others health at risk or make the country all white. This canceling and humiliation could erupt from a simple photo posted or tweet, in fact it rarely stemmed from anyone announcing their views and beliefs with the intent to influence others.
Journalism
The second important point to make here is how exactly these messages of cancelation made it to the public. Journalism is responsible for pushing the cancel culture and for fear mongering the public. Over the last several decades, it has been made clear by polls and statistics that the majority of news stations and journalists are proclaimed democrat supporters. This can even be seen during the several Republican terms served. Check out America’s Media Watchdog for the specific stats and poll results from 1964 to now. The hard truth is that if you plan on having a successful career in journalism or the news industry, you better claim democrat. Even the right leaning news channels are made less available on streaming services and almost every local news station promotes the democratic agenda.
With the celebrities and artists supporting the democrats and the journalists presenting this information to the public, we become completely influenced that the Democratic agenda is the American way. Many fail to notice that it is the lack of freedom of thought and speech, one of our most liberating rights, through instilled fear of censorship and cancellation that made these influencers jump on board to begin with. Critical thinking and a higher perspective are necessary to point out these connections but when we are led to live in fear and ignorance, it is easy to miss the red flags.
Politics
Politics have always been a divisive tool, but it is also necessary for a country in favor of democracy. We are able to choose from parties and come together with voting for our own individual morals and beliefs. However, politics has leaned more towards division than democracy as we entered the pandemic. The first attempt was with skin color. After the BLM riots and protests over minority centered virtue signaling, Americans were made to believe that the Democrats were the only party in favor of equality and the Republicans were the party of white supremacy. It wasn’t necessarily that people truly believed this notion but more so a choice made out of fear of being labeled as far right or as supporting scary beliefs such as supremacy. People began to care more about the image they were being portrayed as than the actual truth they exhibited in their daily lives. Next, the democrats included mask mandates and vaccines and the very same supporters jumped onto this bandwagon as well with little to no individual critical thinking. It appeared that being label a far-right extremist was to be avoided at all cost, even if it meant giving up your freedom to make choices for your own health. It was a smart move by democrats to gain control and they couldn’t have accomplished such agenda without the assistance of the media and news.
Public Education and Indoctrination is the Most Significant Threat
While these tools are equipped to persuade Americans into making ignorant choices, the most significant tool of all is public education. When it comes to adults making decisions, it is easy to get us to pick sides once emotions and morals come into play. But what is more powerful than a quickly influenced, lack of thought, decision? True belief. Our public education is indoctrinating the next generation of Americans into truly believing that government control and socialist values will create a better America. This is the danger of indoctrination because when someone is taught to think a specific way from small child to young adult, it will be more difficult to change their perspective or open their eyes to truth. Indoctrination is a type of conditioning and it is up to the adult generation to stop it from progressing.
Public education and indoctrination are the number one threat to our country and the possibility of a totalitarian authority. The CCP has its hands in the minds of our children and if we do not use our power of free speech to expose their attempt for control, we will be doing a significant disservice to our children and the next generation to come forth. For this reason, we will dedicate the second part of the expose to unraveling public education agendas, the corrupt counterparts such as the CCP, and the risk these pose for the future of our country. The Democratic party is portraying themselves as supporting humanity and protecting our health as a means to gain more control and open the possibility of gaining total control. If we the people grant the government this power, they could easily flip on us at any moment just as we saw in 2021 and 2022 with China. The CCP wants world control and manipulating our country with the help of the Democratic party is inching them closer to the freedom soil we are so privileged to exist and thrive on.
