CCP China is communist and communism is rooted in ungodliness/atheism, one-party rule of authoritarianism and evil/immorality or no-ethics.
....... Eg CCP China has been bullying/harassing its nearest neighbors with its 9-Dash Line in the SCS.
Eg the mostly Chinese communist terrorists, led by Chin Peng of the Malayan Communist Party/MCP and supported by CCP China, tried to grab power by creating havoc during the Malayan Emergency 1948-1960 and 1968-1989. If Chin Peng had won power, you would be like living in CCP China, Vietnam, Laos or North Korea, eg .......
- censored by the Great Firewall of China (= easy for the CCP to brainwash the masses/people, eg little pinks and wumaos),
- you need to register online with your Real Name ID (= easy for the CCP Police to arrest you if needed),
- required to register your hukou or residence permit (= you can't move your permanent rural/urban residence as you like),
- all your out-of-town movement monitored by the CCP (= easy for the CCP Police to arrest political dissidents if needed),
- mostly only CCP members can succeed in business or professional jobs or become govt officers bc of guanxi or cronyism,
- you can't join any labor unions (= easy for companies to exploit workers),
- you can't vote out the CCP or MCP,
- etc.

Letâs debate a bit about the points you mentioned:
1. Regarding the 9-Dash Line, you said China is harassing and bullying other countries. But should we also consider whether âmight makes rightâ applies here? Some people argue that in a âwinner-takes-allâ world, the strongest often assert their claimsâjust as others have done throughout history.
2. When comparing China with other communist countries, itâs fair to say that China has done relatively well. Economically and socially, they are far more successful and stable than most other communist regimes.
3. On censorship, take a look at whatâs happening in our own country. The government is also increasingly moving toward censorshipâtargeting critics and suppressing dissent. Doesnât this suggest that even our government is starting to follow in Chinaâs footsteps?
4. About real-name registration and movement tracking: While the media often portrays China as overly restrictive, people there can still move around freely. In fact, monitoring systems can help deter crime. In Malaysia, many criminals with long histories of offenses are still free to roam. So maybe some form of monitoring could help reduce this.
5. On politics and democracy: Is democracy really working here? It seems to mostly benefit elites, many of whom do more harm than good. To this day, not a single major figure involved in corruption has been properly punished. Is this the âfreedomâ we want? Those who fear strong government control are often the ones who want to commit crimes. Ordinary, law-abiding citizens generally prefer a safe and stable environmentâjust look at Singapore as an example.
