No problem. Those western "experts" loving talking shit when they have no idea what they are talking about. Typical "they can do nothing right" narrative.
Oh, i know that.they like to push some narrative against their perceived enemies. Anything Russia will do will be evil even if those same countries do the same regularly. Same with China. Bunch of hypocrits. Look at Huawei. As if the American aren't doing it and even at a bigger scale but they will impose sanction because they know they can't win a free trade. Same americans with all their fear mongering when they are the worst state terrorist in the world with all the wars and coups they are behind.
However, we can't deny the party is powerful enoguh to even rule over the billionaires of the country. I remember reading about the ying yang contract and how Fan Bing Bing disappeared for a short while before she had to admit her malpactrices. No one is big enough to stand against the party.
