==Communism Is the Core Problem
Why the Chinese regime won’t—and can’t—play fair==
There is an idiom in Chinese of “asking a tiger for its skin.” The idiom can be compared to the United States asking the CCP to play fair in business. Just like the tiger needs its skin to survive, so too does the CCP need theft and unfair practices to compete.
A key problem is that the United States does not understand the nature of the beast. The problem with the CCP’s practices isn’t the surface issues. The problem is the nature behind the issues—the ideology that directs its actions.
China is still very much a communist country, and the CCP maintains tight control over every part of the country. Children are indoctrinated with Party slogans; companies with more than 50 employees are required to have Party liaisons; the General Political Department is tasked with indoctrinating the military with communist ideology; and other areas of the country have similar programs.
Among the CCP’s many slogans are “Maintain maximum alignment with the Party’s Central Committee” and “Carry out the Party’s command if you understand it. Even if you do not understand, carry it out anyway and your understanding should deepen while carrying out the orders.”
Under communist ideology, there is no concept of personal property, and under its systems, struggle between countries, companies, and even regular people becomes the common way of life. The general concept is that if something can be taken, then take it; and it holds that lies and deception are acceptable methods to achieve its goals. Among the CCP’s main slogans during the Cultural Revolution was “Battle with heaven, fight with the earth, struggle with humans—therein lies endless joy.”
Economic theft is directed by the CCP, with goals laid out in its five-year economic plans. The Made in China 2025 program continues similar CCP programs for economic theft, including its Project 863 policy, its Torch Program, its 973 program, and others. The book “China’s Industrial Espionage” by William C. Hannas, James Mulvenon, and Anna B. Puglisi states that “each of these programs looks to foreign collaboration and technologies to cover key gaps” and encourages Western-trained experts to serve the CCP, either by returning to China or by “serving in place.”
A 2011 report from the U.S. Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive says Project 863 “provides funding and guidance for efforts to clandestinely acquire U.S. technology and sensitive economic information.”
