Which part? The way I interpreted it is that if two random people were put into a room and were asked about their position on the CCP, they'd both support it. That seems plausible for any totalitarian country.

I think it only applies when inside the boundaries of China, not to people of Chinese origin.

I'm half ethnically Chinese, look mostly Chinese, and don't give a shit what the CCP thinks, because I was born in the U.S, have U.S. citizenship, visited China once with a tour group full of white people from places like Peoria, and have no plans to go back. However, if I were physically in China, I'd be a little more circumspect with my political opinions. This is prudent for white Americans within the boundaries of China as well - while you have some protection because of the CCP not wanting to cause an international incident, you are still in a foreign country thousands of miles from home and subject to its laws or lack thereof.

neither part. This sounds rather bizarre to me.
