.....”I think too many Americans don’t recognize the Communist Chinese for what they are”......

Can't disagree..... most don't realize the stronghold they have in Hollywood nor among certain politicians here, let alone throughout our various Institutions and Industries right here in the USA. And China makes certain that doesn't get heard by their armies of trolls on social media and in the news organizations

I don’t underestimate them, either. There is a creepy degree of engagement in the technological process of monitoring their citizenry and hammering any nail heads protruding above the others.

I think having Soviet Block East Germans with today’s technology would be frightening, but the the Chinese are closing the monitoring creepiness gap with technology, persistence, and sheer numbers.
