This approach could include, for example, encouraging EAs in China to join the party their and try to rise through the ranks.
In the Arab Spring many of the revolutionary groups were radical Islamists rather than champions of liberal democracy. Also, I didn’t say anything about revolution: in some cases a gradual transition is more likely to work.

Hm, really? I don’t think it’d be a problem for me. Could look in to the research on counterintelligence and double agents.

Of course, I’m just spitballing.
