Interestingly, Mao's Cultural Revolution was all about getting rid of everything that made up the Chinese culture in typical Communist tendency. Then they realized that A) People in the rest of the world like Chinese culture, which could be used to "soft power" propagandize people, and B) They could not just successfully decree people break with culture that has been more or less continuous for thousands of years.
Yes, exactly. It was extremely sick cultural genocide. Against themselves. Extremely sick and bizarre. I can’t easily think of any other case where a culture self-genocides, although there are dangerous trends towards that in European/white culture.
I guess that’s why it comes so naturally for the CCP to genocide the Uighurs, they feel nothing. It’s just a sociopathic mafia with a satanic lust for money and power.

Individual people are not humans to Communists. They are just cogs in the machine of the State, to be used and discarded.
