I think Lenin once said: The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.

yep.

Not actually Lenin, but yes that's a common motif in Leninist thought : https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/02/22/rope/

Lenin is the one that pioneered the hybrid authoritarian capitalist system that China is using right now too, so the feeling is very appropriate.
