Does the CCP Control Extinction Rebellion?
In the past, communist regimes were known to foment dissent in the West by supporting groups they knew to split marginal issues wide open. The aim was to get the enemy population to force politics into policies that would weaken the west. In the Cold War, those tactics were well known and countered. Having a nuclear-armed superpower breathing down your neck keeps you focused on what matters. But hostile powers are much more sneaky now. They cozy up to you and give themselves an unthreatening demeanor until they don’t. The same tools are used as before.
