Ah, the no true leftist argument, I have never seen this before. Leftist doesnt mean perfect, yeah they have issues. They also happen to be the left leaning powerhouse, and that’s one step closer to international communism that is powerful enough to properly address these issues, not capitalists that are playing the oppressed classes.
I wouldn’t call an imperialist nation “left leaning”. To me it’s like when the Nazis called themselves socialists. But anyway I guess we will have different perspectives on this.
Wanting to invade Taiwan, claiming all of the Spratly and Paracel islands. And as I said there is other behaviour which I don’t think is “left leaning”, such as locking up Uyghurs in camps.
How does not invading on of your closest neighbors make you an empire? How does claiming the islands very close to you while not invading them make you an empire? If you can make this make sense I’m listening. Also, Isreal isnt an empire just because it’s genociding people, so even if they were genociding, that wouldnt make one an empire. Show me the empirical evidence (lol)
Yeah I dunno, how does planning an invasion to expand your land make you imperial. I’m stumped. As for locking up Uyghurs, I didn’t say that’s imperialist behaviour, I said it’s behaviour that I don’t think is “left leaning”. I guess you could call it tyrannical behaviour.
Just for you, positives of leftist governance without bringing up the west :)
If the PRC was leftist they probably wouldn’t lock up Uyghurs in camps, or threaten to invade Taiwan with military force.

Can you give examples of their imperialism? I dont remember them invading anywhere in my memory, but maybe I am forgetting?

How long have they been planning it? Can you send a relevant source I could see? Maybe they are, I just haven’t seen your source yet
