This is how they get the chinese people to accept the rule of Communism to this very day.

I'm not completely sold on this idea, sure they do tell that the west is the devil sort of, but it is mainly already done by a more complete eradication of their old culture and forcing it to be a nation of cowards and thieves, and then they do the standard of any con of keeping the fellow that need to appease the con man not be the main purp, but someone benefiting but more local than the state aka which is why it they get a lot more protest against local changes than the ones made by the gov, so in conclusion it is only a minor part in order to get them to accept the rule.
