Everyone and their dog just seem to be waiting for the chance to write their dissertation on the benevolence of China, and yet rarely do I see the same in defence of western countries.

Have you considered that what looks like "dissertations" might just be people applying materialist analysis, seeking truth from facts against the propaganda wave?

That China, flaws and contradictions included, has still secured historical wins for the proletariat of the periphery (especially in China), while the Western imperial bloc runs and has been running the world's largest and most advanced exploitation and immiseration machine in human history on throughout the periphery?

So of course dissecting China takes nuance to weigh the real gains against the flaws and discern the truth from the wave of lies?

When you do a material analysis of the West and what's left to weigh? Just capitalist plunder, imperialist immiseration, and fascism.
