  1. The issue is not that the CCP lacks sincerity, but that they lack intelligence. They are commies, after all. What do they know about capitalism? In an authoritarian dictatorship such as that under Xi, anyone who has a contrary opinion or real knowledge has been sacked, jailed, or killed (sometimes all three in that order). The level of corruption in China is only matched by that in Russia. All of Xi's anticorruption campaigns are shams. The people "caught" are generally political opponents. The people in his clique are just as corrupt. As long as they are loyal, they get to continue their corruption. Otherwise, Xi and the CCP would never be able to rule the country. Another thing I see glimpses of, but that is not covered on most YouTube channels, by think tanks or media outlets, is the role of organized crime in China. I think this will be the next "shoe to drop".
