    Well there is the factor of "looking towards" the West instead of the East. For some reason or another, some backward countries see the West as progressive and the East as conservative, this is a misconception deeply rooted in some societies. But why leftists would actually adhere to it, if only to appease to a wider electoral body, is a mystery to me. Leftists aren't usually the ones to blindly follow liberal propaganda.

      I don't think it's that much of a mystery, they're simply racist/chauvinist.
