It must also be understood that the PRC took power about thirty years after the Soviets and that the development of semi-hereditary status, membership and privilege in the Chinese Communist Party, and, especially, the negative effects of such status has taken comparable time to develop. But I think that the tact of formally worshiping the forms of Republican Democracy, as in the USA, all the while undermining the substance, especially by capturing first academia and then the government through offers of wealth and status, is a much more effective strategy, and, perhaps, the only possible long term strategy to pursue, when the intent is to loot and despoil for private profit the wealth and assets of a country such as the USA or Canada.
