All of Chinese history, right up to their creation myths, is about controlling people and nature (mostly the rivers)[0]. What China is doing today is in line with their history step for step. It makes sense in a way. Those river valleys are incredible for making babies and with urbanization and the power afforded to a single person with technology, controlling 1.7 billion people is the only way to have a society. Not that I believe any of that crap though. Still, look at their history of dynasties and warlords and you&#x27;ll see that the CCP is doing the same dance steps as always. Chinese government has never been about the rights of people, rather it has always been about keeping the warlords at bay and trying to keep those river valley people from killing each other in the famines that always come.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Timeline_of_Chinese_history" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Timeline_of_Chinese_history</a>
