    They praised Deng for being "capitalist" while calling Xi a dictator for repressing Jack Ma lol.

    Seriously I used to hear praises about China in this country because they arrest and execute corruptors, including high ranking ones, but now because China targeted an asshole billionare that people stan for some reason suddenly Xi Jinping bad?

      The same Jack Ma who turned out to have been on vacation in Tokyo eating Wagyu steaks a few months later?

      What kind of shithouse dictatorship disappears its enemies by sending them on overseas holidays?

      I think a lot of countries believed that China was only Communism in name and secretly capitalist. Then they were surprised when Xi began to show his more leftist side.
