“a little communism as an anti-treat”

I assume they think doing socialism has held countries back and that the US covertly encouraged it because it kept them from becoming competitive through the virtues of free market capitalism. We are right to laugh at them, of course.

I like to imagine there’s a Chinese double-agent “working for the CIA” and being paid to write these, with their minders signing off on each story nodding thoughtfully and thinking “Yes, this will appeal to our strange Daoist enemies.”
