I've no need to read between the lines, a dude named mao just told me the ruling government should be worried about cultural sparks for violent political change, and doesn't see the irony

Ah, the context of how you meant my username is ironic wasn't clear.

Why do you think the CPC takes the influence of culture so seriously? Of course they are aware how culture can influence a revolution.

Not sure if that was meant as a gotcha? I thought it was obvious given the conversation so I assumed you meant my username was racist. My bad.
