The criticisms that Indian, Vietnamese and Filipino Communists have are not the same that white radlibs have. They certainly wouldn't make the liberal argument that imprisoning a fucking Bloomberg journalist is bad lmao.
With that said, the main Communist parties of basically every country in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe all support China and there isn't some Stalin-era comintern forcing their hands.
If you'd read the article, you'd know they didn't imprison a Bloomberg journalist, they imprisoned a Chinese national working as an assistant in Bloomberg's office. If they imprisoned an American who had the support of the embassy, that would seem much more like fair play to me.

While (unlike you) I'm not willing to speak broadly about places I don't know much about, I do closely follow the politics of two countries in these regions, and in those two cases the pro-China left factions are a small part of a much larger ecosystem of left groups. I suspect there's some tautology to your thinking here--the only "communist" parties in these areas are the ones that support Chinese capitalism.
