Frankly, widespread social instability in China isn't in the US's interest any more than it is in Xi's. We are very dependent on them, and will be for some time.

The fallout from a massive propaganda campaign would be very bad for us if it were to fail to depose the CCP, and not much better for us if it were to succeed.

It is! The more time, and resources Xi has to spend fighting dumpster fire at home, the less it has to destabilise USA! A very simple truth.
