Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

    Also, you really thinking having “Chinese” before “Communist” is racist? If anything the west has fearmongered the word “communist” far more than the word “Chinese”

      yes, older media reported the party as the CPC. restyling it as the CCP is relatively recent and coincides with the drumbeat of aggression between the west and China.

      That is literally the stated intent given for the name, yes. Emphasizing Chinese is the point. If there wasn’t a reason to call it CCP they would just call it CPC. Goddamn you are a gullible toad lmao
