No, you're not helping. At all. It's flamebait that can only derail the topic and turn into a circle jerk or verbal fistfight.

Here's an example that may help: Why is China allowed to participate in the Olympics despite their genocides and brutal crackdowns? Why the double standard?

See? You're demonstrating my point, it's not just indifferent, it has a motive.

Though I don't think you're helping since Russia did invade while China is doing zero genocides.

I'm sure china is rounding up its citizens and putting them into reeducation camps based on their ethnicity and religious beliefs for reasons other than ethnic cleansing.

Being left wing doesn't mean you absolutely must support china, especially since a lot of chinese policies are decidedly right wing and almost overwhelmingly authoritarian.

Like nost other "communist" parties in power before them, the CCP is populated mostly by self interested bourgeois that coopted the revolution and pursued a path of oppression against its own people.

Authoritarians gonna authoritate, who'd have guessed.

If you can’t even get the party’s name correct then you have no room to talk on them

Saved. Thanks for the comprehensive resource. Now, if only everyone was eager to read before slandering other countries online… Not that China is a perfect utopia, but simply gobbling whatever information comes to the public by media that have an interest in defending "the West" is the quickest path to have your consent manufactured.
