Just ignore the fact that social credit score will go down and disappearances will occur if you don’t loudly do this shit to prove that you are a good, loyal citizen.
China has plenty of earnest nationalists who are as stupid and easily roused by nonsense as nationalists here in the US. The party doesn’t need to stoke this. Also, that’s not how social credit or disappearances work.
Nah, the state itself doesn’t care about this. This is human beings looking for people to outgroup and then force the state into action. I’m not implying that the state isn’t captured by crazed jigonists that border on fascism. I just think it’s important to understand just how much popular outrage is what drives what the Chinese state does.
