The CCP has two things that keeps them afloat: Chinese nationalism (and lets admit that the US really is out to get them at this point) and the economy. In 20 years China may very well be completely technologically independent rendering economic sanctions impotent and foreigners aren't going to be able to change any Chinese minds. Change will have to come from within the CCP, it always amused me that those HK protesters were talking more to the foreign press than trying to infiltrate the mainland bureaucracy.

> Change will have to come from within the CCP And I'm guessing if the West and Russia had waited, the Nazis would have stopped putting people in concentration camps too? The CCP is exactly the same party that still covers up the 1989 Tienanmen Square Massacre - they can't even admit their previous failings. > it always amused me that those HK protesters were talking > more to the foreign press than trying to infiltrate the > mainland bureaucracy. It's hard to find any amusement in the HK situation at all. I am not aware of any scenario where the Communist dictatorship has listened to reason or has allowed the infiltration of it's mainland media. Their entire dictatorship is based on narrative - whilst it's positive, they stay in power over the people and army. Any deviation throws their rule into question, which is why they crush it at any cost. Edit: Grammar

  > ...the Nazis would have stopped putting people in concentration camps too? It’s possible. After the Trail of Tears, I don’t think anyone would have believed the US would fight a Civil War and change so much. Give China a hundred years and who knows what will happen. Taiwan was a dictatorship until the late 90s. All China needs is that one leader to put things in motion.
