This led to the conclusion that this servility was caused by traditional culture. Many years later, I have come to realize that the Chinese people's servile nature is not caused by traditional Chinese culture, but by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Many people say that Chinese people are "low," but Chinese people are not born low: It is the CCP's tyrannical rule that has caused this. During many of the CCP's political movements, the CCP persecuted innocent people, forcing them to obediently admit that they were "guilty" and to thank the CCP for its "forgivingness."

The CCP needs this type of people, and over the years, the CCP has indeed turned the Chinese people, through enslavement, into this type of people, into "the Party's slaves." The servile nature of many Chinese people has become deeply-rooted, but they may not be aware of the fact that they are "the Party's slaves," who kneel down in front of the CCP. ...More
