Xi is ruthlessly pragmatic and while he is a committed marxist, he is not a revolutionary. That’s generally a good thing in a country post-revolution. I’m not surprised if this is actually true.
It’s an interesting “what if”. I could see him on the left flank of the party, like a more competent Sanders. Then again, growing up in Amerika also means he’d most likely end up with more conservative/ pro-capitalist views. Hard to say.
yeah might have just been him viewing both parties as similar because of their imperialism or knowing he was talking to a rightwinger.
In a country struggling to overcome colonialism and imperialism, “Nationalist first” honestly makes sense. Whatever is best for the people, they’re going to go with, you know?
Socialism is of course the best system for meeting those needs, but I understand the commitment to people over ideology. Hopefully that makes sense.
I would imagine it just means "I would join the predominant political parties with an ability to do something" and not specifically that he would like the republicans.
