      Chuang is a blog run by Chinese marxists, but they're the type of marxists who think that China is "state capitalism," so people here are mad and suspicious

        ?? Pretty sure the dengists here know China is state capitalist, that’s like the whole point of NEP-style plans like China is doing. It looks more like people are mad that they smear “tankies” and promote western-backed blogs or something I guess

          Yeah I guess I meant "They have critiques of China" which in our western media ecosystem is often treated with suspicion due to the relentless anti-china propaganda

      Chuangcn is a media outlet that's geared towards a Western audience and presents many critiques against China from an ostensibly left perspective. Chuangcn gets criticized for its coverage and its ties to some anticommunist organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy, Radio Free Asia, and the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy which was one of the largest funders of the right-wing Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. It gives some people Partisan Review vibes. These tweets were actually originally compiled by a redditor who has been posting it on multiple ML subreddits and has been going overboard in trying to portray chapo.chat as being somehow anti-China which is pretty ridiculous considering chapo.chat's history in being one of the more pro-China leaning and anti-imperialist online leftist spaces.
