      100% this, the chapo sub was considerably more critical of China before all the sinophobia took over the website during the HK protests. A lot of western communists were critical of China, just because in some ways it's better than the US, in a lot of other ways it's really not special in any way other than it's size.

      Cuba is like actually a model I'd want to see my own country make efforts to adopt, I don't really feel the same way about modern China.

        You have to understand that most Western leftists base their ideology on being the opposite of what their country, mainly America likes.

              "Don't resist american imperialism because China bad" is a brainlet take. Try harder at least.

                Did I say China is bad? Lol you and the rest of the users on here are definitely at the head of resisting American imperalism.

                    I don't want to resist China, I want them to take over and bring over some of their techniques for dealing with troublesome individuals over here.

      I can't help but feel that the most effective counter to that would not be unironic dickriding disguised as ironic dickriding, but honest discussion and finally not saying critical support just to seem neutral.

      It's mainly just reddit for some reason. The mainstream media to a lesser extent too, but it's only reddit that obsesses over China.
