Infiltrate the academia?

Do you find it similar to Taiwan?

Tibetans' self-immolations are perturbing the Chinese Communist Party?

Can't understand why Hongkongers wear masks when protesting on the streets?

As for whether or not the Taiwanese are Chinese, it's politically impossible at this stage, yet culturally inseparable.

Don't get mad, I'm only kidding. Everything above is just analogies. What I have just said is useless anyway.

“Hitler knew that it was not easy to buy off the American media. Gaining support and sympathy from the most prestigious schools in the US was the most effective way to clean Nazi Germany's name. This is the same strategy employed by China.

“Harvard’s James Bryant Conant was one such university president who fell into this trap. He did not like the Nazi regime at all but held extremely tolerant feelings towards Germany, believing that culture and politics could be separated; this was exactly what the Nazis wanted.

“His academic purism caused him to turn a blind eye to Nazi Germany's persecution of Jews. He refused to criticise Nazi Germany and even rationalised all of Germany's actions. He believed that the Nazis were justified by their unfair treatment after World War I.

“With the university president behaving as such, his dean likewise did not lag behind. Roscoe Pound, the Dean of Harvard Law School, graciously accepted an honorary degree from the University of Berlin in 1934. When he returned to the US, he kept talking about all he saw and heard in the new Germany. He insisted that no matter how long they lived there, the Nazi regime would never persecute Jewish people and scholars.”

Appointing Judges in a Police State

[ #LivingUnderaRock ] Nazi Germany was a notorious police state. After Hitler came to power, the parliament under his control passed a law that enabled him to appoint civil servants and judges as the Führer. The "old Germans" who believed in the Weimar Republic's democratic system and the separation of powers were mocked for living under a rock. In 1942, Hitler appointed the senior Nazi party member, Otto Thierack, as the Reich Minister of Justice. Thierack then took further steps to overhaul the judges. He issued a series of "Letters to All Judges"* to instruct them on how to "lawfully" persecute the Jews and other minorities, much to Hitler's satisfaction.
