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.

    Good comment, and to add, China’s current foreign policy is one of non-interference and sovereignty. They impose neither political nor economic regulations on other nation states in exchange for partnership, in contrast to the US and the West with the IMF and world bank which imposes neoliberal reforms on borrowing nations. This is why African nations overwhelmingly prefer Chinese loans to Western loans.
