Didn't China at least have a lot more of a commitment and unity of purpose with Albania than the US does Kosovo?

Under Mao, China was the only friend of Albania, they had bases in Albania and would defend them from a Soviet, Yugoslav or Greek invasion. Then during the 1970's Albania broke relations with China and started funding their own hoxhaist parties all over the world. And I think all these parties eventually either became socdems or just turned Pro-China after the end of the Soviet Union and Communist Albania.

"Greek invasion" made me snort.

Not to downplay the seriousness pr whatever. Just the idea of a bunch of overweight, hairy, small diner owners angrily sailing in a boat is funny. Imagine an army of Stavvies vs an army of his best friend (he's Albanian, I forget his name). Would be hilarious.

Kosovo is just a military base for the USA, Albania and China did have really close ties and mutual economic cooperation until the China-USA thaw
