    Maybe, but they have taken aggressive stances in the past towards places they should have been supportive to, well beyond simple realpolitik.

    I support China and Xi without hesitation and understand that difficult choices must be made to ensure China's survival, but I think we need to reserve the right to say we think they are making the wrong decision.

    Not because China is going to listen to some idiots on the net but because it can inform our own praxis and approach.

    Being non-interventionist is one thing, supporting Fascists now and attacking communists like they did in the 70s-80s is another. We are allowed to say backing Pol Pot was not a great look.
