I come from india, and even though i hate how india is treating people nowadays, I just can't help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards it when it comes to border conflicts with china/pakistan. A lot of people here, even those who don't identify strictly with the hindu nationalist movement have a sense of enmity towards china then and now because of how they acted regarding the intial conflict at a Himalayan border.

Maybe this goes beyond the scope of the original question. but do maoists see maoist china as totally perfect, as if they have done/can do no wrong? because whenever i look at events like the border conflict between china and india, and how china acted towards tibet, I can only get the feeling that they've been the initial aggressors.

this is my first post on here, so please be gentle

      Yeah like, China can be a countervailing force to American hegemony and you can praise the miracle of bringing that many people out of poverty, while still acknowledging that China is a giant fucking country in the year 2021, with plenty of its own problems, and it's ultimately led by sociopaths just like every other country right now. People basically love it because their parents shoveled shit for a meager living, and that's nothing to scoff at by any stretch of the imagination.
