The start of modern China, CCP, diplomacy should start from dispute over Treaty of Versailles in 1919, where concession of Shandong was given to Japan instead of returning to China. That started the Chinese revival, including start of CCP, that steers how Chinese politicians view geopolitics
BTW, my observation that "Wolf Warrior Diplomacy" is China's soft approach to test waters around Trump's leadership... since most conventional diplomacy approach fell apart.

Why are you spending precious time talking about Mao and the CCP of the 1930s? We want insights about the CCP in the 21st century. How does the totalitarian surveillance limit access to truth? Do Chinese "citizens" have any feelings for the truly democratically chosen government of Taiwan?
