“Kill enough of them in a war and the families will revolt - the CCP knows that “
No they won’t. This communist Chinese government has murdered 60-100 million people depending on the source. The real number is probably impossible to know.
Nobody revolted.
That was in the time of Mao and the whole country was in revolt - the communists the nationalists the Japanese - don’t be fooled by the past actions. The people have had a taste of western civ and want more which costs money - to marry a guy has to own property which is usually an apartment building or an apartment the purchase runs 1.5 mill US.
They borrow from banks, loan sharks, family. If the guy is killed in war then his family is plunged into debt they cannot repay. One guy here of there no biggy, but not 10s of thousands or millions at once is another story and the CCP is terrified of that outcome.
Mao murdered 74 odd million and another 25 million have been murdered since, probably mostly Uygurs, Tibetans, and other minorities.
And yes they revolted, but those revolts were not published in western press because they were unsuccessful. I forget how many divisions of the PLA were sent to quash the revolt(s) in Tibet.
