its similar to what happened in china. in early unstable days repression was harsher but nowadays reactionaries are allowed to do their bullshit (within limits) because theres very low threat to the party. there are also many traitors in china going against the party who face no repression in china before they eventually run to the US

    What worries me about this are states like USA and Israel sending in ops to stir the pot, then when things pop off and the state is forced to step in, we get Western narratives about Christians/Falun Gong being persecuted, or operatives and their gullible victims being carried off to jail or being killed in armed confrontation, such as seen in color revolutions, and Western narratives and headlines and a bajillion gazillion "peaceful protesters" being murdered by the government. And people very much believe this despite their own peaceful protesters being imprisoned, killed, decitizenized, deported.
