Chinese Internal Politics

Soviets were able to pacify the Baltics and East Germany despite deep seated fascism within a few years. You just have to be willing to use certain political tools.
Soft and hard, carrots and sticks, divide and conquer et al.
History is full of examples for pacifying conquered populations. Just pick one of them and get on with it, no need for innovating when you have such time-tested proven methods.
China also has successful experience in cleansing KMT strongholds.
Ideologically motivated fascist forces are the hardest to suppress, which is why the Soviet example may be more relevant.

KMT themselves were rather brutal in their pacification of Taiwan. Hoping that if and when AR takes place that whatever pacification that nay folliw can be conducted in a manner that is more humane and less violent.
It looks like Xi is doubling down.
>ignoring calls by many economists for market reforms, consumer stimulus, and demand-side growth.
Hmm, by which economists? Those in the west?
Like this CSIS rat?
Sure, they're certainly the ones to listen to.
