Right wing dictatorships like Russia and MAGA misuse religion to keep citizens in line and justify their actions. China is unique in that for most, the Chinese state puts itself as the highest power to be served in place of religion

Because of the effects of the one child policy China has 30 million extra men who will never have a wife so the government puts them to work in the mines, military, and labor force for infra projects. Serving the country gives meaning to their lives
