That is right.

I had written earlier that, (I am putting it simplistically here) the USA will ensure that capitalism takes grip over China and encourage crass consumerism so that it changes the mindset. The people, who were earlier denied the 'bounties' of life would suddenly lose their balance and become greedy with all its attendant vices. The Party apparatchiks because they have the control will be the first ones to manipulate the system and get rich quick, which would lead to discontent amongst the common man and the Party will be discredited. The rural and urban divide would be immense. Turmoil shall follow.

The Communist Party would lose its control over the people since the people would have psychologically changed and the end of Communism would be heralded!

It is all a Mind Game - control of the Mind!!

I had read something on these lines written by a British chap years ago when I was in school of how to control the mind, corrupt the youth and change the system!
