Lemmys community is in general left-leaning which explains some pro-China views if it comes to discussions.

However, what is your stand if it comes to Chinas allies?

Lets take Russia for example… the current oligarchy and right/conservative government is the complete opposite of China. Both countries are supporting each other but in the end its paradox. How can capitalism with a facistic touch go hand in hand with communism? If you look at it from an ideological point of view, it contradicts itself. If someone supports China, he is also supporting someone not favourable to a small/big extend.

    I see Russia as a reliable partner to its allies, like Syria for example, even China.

    It does not pursue an aggressive, but rather a defensive (for Crimea see access to Black Sea ports, offering its citizens passports and pensions that Ukraine foolishly invalidated at that time) foreign policy.

    Like China, Russia wants to be seen as sovereign.
