интересы партии, а не страны стоят на первом местеit is the party, not the country, that comes first (CNN, 2020: The Chinese social contract: individuals are absolutely expendable if the stability of the party is at stake.

China's censorship apparatus is built on this principle. Anything that threatens the party, from open dissent to simply organizing outside of official structures – no matter how innocuous the topic – is not tolerated and must be erased. Alex_Odeychuk)
