「Xi has constantly seen the collapse of the Soviet Union as a tragedy, and a historical lesson for CCP members to meticulously study so as to avoid. In this view, mentioning the human rights atrocities committed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union is an effort to undermine the achievements of the Soviet system.」
In the same vein, *all* crimes by the Chinese communist dictatorship must be erased from history and people's memories.
Meanwhile we are to believe that reality-denying, revanchist, ethno-jingoist and military-expansionist whirlpool of propaganda is a totally sane and righteous 'win-win recipe' for CCP-PRC's "peaceful rise to global hegemon status".
We've already seen the #russian version of exactly that imperially entitled mindset in action in #Ukraine.
CCP's own "biding time, hiding strength" strategy is increasingly incompatible with the need to create new, even more glorious reality for the masses.
