Just like the Soviet Union, they will face their own collapse, because they couldn't accept the stable and natural order that arises from decentralized economic and social development.

Indeed. They're vigorously digging their own graves.

With a great arrogance that betrays always, GD.

Yep. The bigger the ego, the bigger the pop.

Just remember when the CCP begins sending millions of their bourgeois class to invade the rest of the world, remember their time-tested strategy of invading "peacefully" through slow encroachments.

I wonder what we're going to do. Do you think we'll send them back, or shoot the planes down?

Or, do you reckon the so-called "liberals" will welcome them with open arms?

@Goodwood of Dank™

Muslims do the same thing.

The solution is similar: enforced asimilation.

You want to be a citizen of our country? Follow these rules...

If they don't want to follow them, we don't grant them citizenship.

You know what their objectives will be.

Of course. Projection of soft power through economic influence.

Good luck running COIN with a mass that large.

Again, how is this different from the soft invasion of Islam?

Especially with current rejections of governmental COIN programs necessary to prevent exactly that.

Perhaps in the case of Europe, but at least they're not CCP agents.

We don't have this issue in the United States, with respect to Islam.

the solution is citizenship based on descent*

Chinese communism doesn't proport to govern anyone's afterlife, so there's only so much the CCP can get its infiltrators to do once they've sent them abroad. That's not the case with Islam.

Actually, the solution is Heinleinian citizenship.

Make them work, and work hard, to earn their citizenship. Same for us natives, too.

nah, the nation is deeper than a mere chequebook

Of course. Culture doesn't really care about citizenship.

At least dispersion throughout a geography forces Islamic individuals to assimilate, absent reinforcement, though even a generation later, at least in the United States, Muslims suffer the same fate as Identity Christians, only claiming to be Muslim, without practicing the religion at all.

This wouldn't be the case for millions of CCP agents sent into the U.S.

Dispersing them would only make it more difficult to keep track of their every move.

Well, Trump did just recently cut legal immigration in half.

assimilation would imply miscegenation

what are you referring to goodwood

And every move will be aimed at creating cells, disseminating propaganda, and influencing business and politics.

True enough, GD.

But, imagine this.

The CCP sends over hundreds of planes filled with their own, trained CCP agents, under the auspices of civilians seeking political refuge.

What do you do?

One of the secrets to China's success over the centuries was to simply welcome any invading force, and assimilate them into their culture. The problem is, that cultural norm can work against them if the Chinese decide to try soft invasion. Their culture isn't as robust as ours.

Fair enough, but you don't believe they'd be as resilient as the Soviets were, when sent abroad?

That isn't their only cultural weakness, either. In the absence of a single controlling authority, Chinese culture is prone to drifting about, with no clear goal.

We had sleepers activated decades later, in the beginning of the 21st century.
