I think China's Economy may collapse after this, causing a Domino effect of the Middle Class Chinese revolting and (probably) overthrowing the Communist Party. It sounds like a dream, but sometimes big events like this can change Governments in Power quite swiftly!
They won’t, they’re too brainwashed by CCP propaganda. Winnie the Pooh has filled their god-shaped hole since birth. Them revolting would be akin to a Christian denouncing God, or a Muslim denouncing Muhammad. It simply won’t happen, and they will instead blame the West.
This is why the smoothbrains handwringing about how “we’re all in this together” are idiots who would sell us out to the enemy just for a fleeting moment of virtuous feelings. The Chinese citizens are innocent at an individual level, but they are still the constituents of the nation that has, by whatever mechanism, elevated the CCP to its position of power to represent them. This means that at the group-level, they are still responsible for the actions of the CCP, just as the Germans were held responsible for the actions of Hitler after WW2.
If they are being oppressed by the CCP and they feel that they don’t represent them, it’s their responsibility to overthrow them. That is their burden to carry, not ours, just as if Trump suddenly starts oppressing US citizens, it’s their responsibility to overthrow him. They’re lucky that their forefathers established an electoral system that makes that very easy to do, but it took blood and courage for that to happen. Make no mistake, revolution is the only way to change such systems, and right now China needs a revolution. I am just skeptical that it could ever come from within due to the aforementioned brainwashing.
Cultures are not equal. Everyone needs to get this dogshit idea out of their head. Equality applies only to immutable characteristics at the individual level. Culture is a mutable group-level characteristic. Some cultures believe in sovereignty of the individual and freedom from the state. Others believe in total authority of the state and eating fucking bats. Stop equalising them or the issue will never be addressed. In fact, all it does is hand power to the culture that doesn’t believe in the garbage equalising ideology by refusing to hold them to account.
