The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) “believes in a zero-sum game,” says U.S.-China commentator Solomon Yue, who escaped China in 1980 some years after Red Guards raided his home and threatened his life during the Cultural Revolution. “Why take a slice of our pie if they can take the whole thing?”—is the CCP’s mentality, he adds.
