Title. I've read it is pro china but not sycophantic either which would suit me fine, but I wanted to get a crowd sourced opinion.

    Yep, there's a reason the US regime change arms are so focused on Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Xinjiang going "independent" (see: becoming a US client state) would essentially cut off China from the West, and Hong Kong becoming a US client would give the US a base of operations in the South China Sea and basically complete control over 60% of China's trade.

    If it goes the other way, and HK/XUAR/Taiwan stay closer to China, the US is basically fucked as China will offer a more enticing and socially equitable trade network that will undermine the current financial imperialist hegemony (mainly in Africa/East Europe/Central Asia)

      Xinjiang is considered so important now because the US is scared shitless of the Belt and Road initiative.
