Alternative understanding of China and the CCP. The Chinese people are and have been ruled by gangs, organized along family lines, for thousands of years. The great dynasty's all run by the most powerful family gangs, blending ruthlessness, cunning and strategic compassion to secure power. Not unlike portrayals of the Italian Mafia. Who take on titles like Emperor, Dear Leader or President as the times dictate. They have power bases in different regions of China that benefit as they gain the power of a dynasty. The modernization of China's ruling system as constituted under the PRC uses the architecture of a communist system to bring the different region's family powers under one roof for issues that are of concern outside of their region. Not unlike portrayals of Italian Mafia family coordinates from time to time. Honor among thieves, if you will. Securing agreements of fairly divided slices of the loot in their regions and associated industries. The big halls of government under the CCP are useful stages for the show with governing documents useful props wielded for the people and the world to confer legitimacy to the whole sordid system. They've constructed a delicate system of balance between all of the criminal gang families in China that enriches all handsomely, retains their status and power in their regions, expands into world markets that goes on to enrich itself in collaboration with the similarly oriented, though less obvious family criminal gangs running much of the world, including the multinational corporate world, the western democratic nations, even in the US. Like the Biden crime family. And Clinton crime family. And Bush crime family. And Cheney crime family. And Rockefeller crime family. And Soros crime family. And so on. And so on. And so on.

The Chinese are led by diabolically smart leaders. Not good smart leaders. Even though they have many fans in the west. FanBoi's like Thomas Friedman:

Whatever we see happening on the world stage is mostly criminal family gang disputes over the size of the pie of loot and power they want. We, The People, are extras along for the ride. And I bet my version of understanding China is closer to the truth than yours.
