      Pretty sure they're winding up their bourgeois teacher here.

      And to a first approximation every foriegner in China is a lumpen grifter, a Petty Bourgeois or one of the transitional strata like an engineering consultant who is "technically" employed by someone but is really a digital nomad there for cheap living.

      They arent talking about some poor BIPOC person in walmart.

      Probably a contextual thing. If you hear Cracker McBoomer whine about "foreigners" you can pretty much assume that they're talking about PoC as opposed to other cracker immigrants from Europe.

      In this case, I think most would assume that "foreigner" means white people rather than literally all foreigners in general.

      China has active and publicized exchange with much less developed states. I promise you that they don't mean that the Chinese industrial peasantry must overthrow the boot heel of Nepalese capital.

      Notice that they specifically identify China as the industrial proletariat. The world is not just industrial workers and bourgeois. They are clearly speaking in general terms with emphasis on the foreigners that are more present in China (the western bourgeois and its lackeys like this diarist).
