In China’s history, the most common tactic in struggles has been to first attach moral labels to the opponent. Package yourself as a gentleman (a good person) and portray the other side as a villain (a bad person). Once the opponent is defined as “immoral,” striking at them is no longer seen as a contest of interests; instead, it is framed as upholding justice. As a result, political competition can easily turn into a moral trial. In the end, the goal is not to find the correct answer, but to obtain recognition from the highest authority and completely defeat the opponent. This is also the kind of spectacle most desired by the power center.
