This for me gives rise to just what is the difference between a communist corporation and a good old western corporation. Yes, they are both evolving towards the same goal, that of domination of all social structures so I see little difference between them other than one is more advanced than the other.
I think my main problem with this event, oh and thanks for the fleshing out of the story line, is the presenter and the obvious hyperbole of the whole subject starting with the picture to introduce the video. A handsome white guy of clearly idolized looks being screamed at by a gaggle of totally enraged and hateful Asian women. It smacks of racial warfare to me. Not defense but rather out right offense.
They may have accepted capitalism as a pathway to power, but the core government is still a whole lot like when Mao was in charge. When the state owns and runs the businesses, it is still Communist. The hidden China and one for tourists and outsiders are separate things, it seems to me.
I agree that the images people use to draw attention to their videos are just as bad as the headlines used in the news. It's tacky, but they use it because it works.

Now that's the story. CCP enforcers in other countries.
