I’m now curious. Is Xi known to make the sort of speech Putin is making these days, about traitors and fifth columnists etc? I’m now starting to wonder if there are any differences at all, among authoritarian playbooks.

Gender nonconformity seems to be a newish fear to play on. Xi banning k-pop and stuff seems in the same vein.
