GenZedong

Courtesy of "prestigious" China "experts" such as Gordon G. Chang, this piece is set in an alternate reality where:

the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) strengthens its regime and pursues global dominance

Chinese economic growth is declining drastically under misguided policies

The housing market is in crisis

Political corruption in the CCP, bureaucratic inefficiency, and other waste also hinder economic progress and public trust.

And this is just the first paragraph! Of the document's summary!

From the same summary, this document seems to be basically China hawks salivating at how they'll imperialize China once again... at least in their imagination, since this scenario is so far removed from reality, it makes one wonder if this is a serious piece meant to sway US policy, or an elaborate parody written by communists to mock China hawks.

Some more gems (just from the summary; I'm not reading this garbage):

Diplomats and other officials at international organizations are increasingly skeptical of the China’s global influence, making foreign policy more difficult.

Yes, that's why more and more countries are signing trade deals with China.

The chapter [...] suggests that US special operations forces (SOF) can help stabilize a post-CCP China. It envisions SOF aiding provisional authorities, protecting critical infrastructure, and facilitating the peaceful emergence of a new government while working “by, with, and through” local actors.

Hmmm... how about: "It envisions the colonial occupation authorities protecting critical infrastructure for extracting super-profits, and facilitating the violent insertion of a puppet government while working through local compradors and other hanjians". There, much clearer.

Clarke then advocates for overhauling the Chinese economy by recapitalizing the country while a new government repudiates illegitimate debts, privatizes state assets, and implements decentralization [...] He emphasizes that CCP policies have constrained China’s economic potential and argues that a liberalized financial architecture is essential for both domestic prosperity and integration with global markets.

Shockwave therapy never gets old. Also, the Chinese economy isn't integrated with global markets? Ok cool, must be very easy to decouple then. Oh what's that, the US can't make weapons without Chinese rare earths? No more cheap treats? No more... anything? No, something doesn't add up...

Rick Fisher [...] recommends retaining a leaner, more accountable military force [...] A Chinese military force without hegemonic ambitions can then help a new government integrate into peacekeeping operations and space exploration partnerships.

No, you first.

Nina Shea discusses the importance of protecting human rights during a transitional period. According to her, the US should intervene to prevent ethnic violence, civil wars, and political retribution, with a special focus on China’s five autonomous regions— Guangxi, Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, and Ningxia. She also highlights the need for measures to alleviate the grievances of other groups, including religious minorities like Christians and the Falun Gong.

Truly impressive, the nerve and lack of shame on the authors.

China can only move beyond past evils through the investigation and public disclosure of those crimes. The chapter recommends establishing a national truth and reconciliation commission modeled after South Africa’s [...]

Again no, you first, and your zionist outpost too.

We've done it everyone, distilled brainrot!
