It’s not that any of us believe that China’s communism will take over the world—it’s that the CPC believes it.
China’s trade and economics are a means to an end. You can’t believe what you hear in that region; the media are very tightly controlled.
Honestly, I pay little attention to what the media says. I know based on real actions :) — CPC can believe a lot of things; that’s their issue. Once again, the U.S. is very aware of the AP region & its geopolitical importance.
