I swear unanimous appreciation of china was a pretty common sentiment and now I'm consistently seeing upbeared comments about how china isn't and never was a socialist state, and how actually their use of markets is as bad if not worse than america. What's going on? IDK what to think or what side I'm on here but it just seems like opinions fundamentally changed so quickly, it's weird.
The opinions of this site and the old Chapo sub have substantial variance on views relating to China.
Most people support China geopolitically and view their international related actions as very important to building a multipolar world that could eventually allow more countries to take a more independent path, but it's some baby brained shit to act like you'd want every western country to become just like China because that's what the ideal version of socialism is.
Also like, Xi is better than the previous 2 chinese leaders who might as well just have been western capitalists with just deeper control than liberal democracy currently allows.
I don't recall seeing many China good posts on r/CTH, this place feels more like a carry over of r/moretankiechapo (which is good).
