That’s the truth, I don’t know why you are downvoted. Point is at the moment it’s infeasible to use the CCP membership to infer if a person or organization works for CCP. It’s a deadly dangerous door to open because the next step is to inspect the direct family affiliation to CCP. Given the proliferation of CCP members, it’ll be affecting over half billion people and effectively you are telling most Chineses in America that they are suspects. It’s not too different from terminating the diplomatic relationship and worse, effectively you are saying Chinese people ~= CCP by the connection to members

In the US people either under estimate the size of the CCP or act as though it is an egalitarian group of people where everyone has access to all information and is briefed on strategy. The CCP doesn't vote on its strategy among all of its members. Most things that we see as controversial or dangerous when it comes to the CCP aren't even apparent to most CCP members. Joining the CCP isn't generally a decision to turn a blind eye for personal gain. It is difficult to comprehend just how much China controls the flow of information to its citizens (and the ordinary CCP members). We must distinguish between CCP leadership and the ordinary members. The average CCP member is no evil person and is unaware of any evil acts being committed. Now you might wonder why people don't investigate rumors they hear from Western media (even if the sources are banned): - Western media tends to attack Chinese culture and pride, attack ordinary Chinese - The Chinese government refuted the news and any contradicting sources are blocked. - Approval of how the country is run is generally high. Han Chinese and other groups are doing as well as never before. (And they truly don't know that there are people who are not being treated well.)

  This concerns me very much. Information control can basically be equated with population control. I have no doubt that your average Chinese citizen is a good person and it pisses me off that much more knowing the CCP is manipulating thier own people, often at the expense of thier own people. I recently saw a video that you might appreciate on the rise of open source softwate in China as a means of circumventing censorship and oppression.10 minute video, worth the watch. Heres the link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RFjIBM0TR7U https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RFjIBM0TR7U Or you can go to YouTube and search china rise of open source it's by a channel called honeypot. To be honest i fear that the US is also starting to head down that path. Very alarming.
