As a CCP apologist/propagandist, the OP should be condemned in the strongest way possible.

I hadn't checked his post history.

Look at the post he quoted in the OP, in that same thread, the OP has posted multiple times, including this post.

The CCP can only be described as an evil organization that oppresses over a billion people and whose goal is to oppress billions more.

As much as I don't like the CCP, their progress is impressive. They've turned a third world country into a major economic player. But they're trying to gain influence everywhere, up to local municipalities in my country, so it doesn't surprise me they do the same on internet forums.
It's especially impressive how they can just plan long-term. In the West, most politicians don't look further than the next elections. In the USA, Democrats and Republicans waste a lot of resources in undoing what the other party did before them. The Chinese one-party system makes long-term planning a reality.

As Poker Player alluded to above, the CCP does not have to worry about elections or what its people want when making decisions, and planning for the future.

I would not give the CCP credit for turning China into a major economic power. I think we have the Clinton administration and greedy corporate executives focused on short-term profit for that. The average income in China is about $14,550 per year, which is barely over the poverty level in the US for one person and is below the poverty level for two people living in a household.

The Chinese market is very large, and Western companies have invested billions, if not trillions of dollars in China. The CCP has demanded that western companies operate a joint venture in China that is majority-owned by a Chinese company. This has resulted in short-term profits for companies that have entered the Chinese marketplace, but at the expense of having their IP and other trade secrets stolen, that over the long term will result in greater losses for Western companies than what they made in the short run.

Hitler's plans worked out very well for him for years.

I would compare the CCP, and president Xi, to the Nazis and Hitler. Both have a goal of world domination, and both systematically killed and imprisoned a minority religious group, the Jews in the case of the Nazis, and the Uighurs in the case of the CCP. The key difference is that the CCP is much more patient than the Nazis were. The Nazis started a world war to attempt to achieve world domination, while the CCP has instead infiltrated institutions to make the world more friendly to the CCP.
