Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 12:28 wrote:To those who ask 'Where then have you seen the gods? What conviction of their existence leads you to this worship of them?', I reply first that they are in fact visible to our eyes. Secondly, and not withstanding, that I have not seen my soul either, and yet I honor it. So it is with the gods too: from my every experience of their power time after time I am certain that they exist, and I revere them.
Julian the Apostate wrote:I feel awe of the gods, I love, I revere, I venerate them, and in short have precisely the same feelings towards them as one would have towards kind masters or teachers or fathers or guardians or any beings of that sort.

Even though I strongly support the positions of the pro-democracy protesters, the PRC has one of the largest militaries behind it. The PRC is also an economic superpower, and has leverage over the international community. So, yeah, you’re right......

Honestly this shitshow (and similar stuff) will only continue as long as China as a polity and Chinese as a national identity continue to exist. The existence of a central authority in China is bad for the world by its very nature.

They are only there because of US. Cease trade with, arrest any CCP members, ban any official from entering the west, nationalize/seize any Chinese businesses in the west, and ramp up sanctions on them. The Chinese government would collapse once the money runs out.
Add to that the funding and arming of any anti-CCP group and Xi and co are going to be in for a rough ride
