Only as long as its a pro-empire/pro-western lesser evil, the double think on these liberal instances should be studied

Go to China then and be happy.
I'm on your side in this but that's a crap argument.
Akin to when Americans ask for free healthcare and people say "well go move to Europe then!"

A random Chinese entrepreneur isn't really representative of China?
Maybe China will prove it's just as evil as the West, but it hasn't so far. Insisting it inevitably will is just speculation, because the Chinese development banks that loan to the third world are less evil than the IMF/World Bank, and the Belt and Road initiative is less evil than Western free trade agreements.
The way you speak of China like a person is confusing to me. Are you talking about the people? The government? Xi Jinping?
"less evil" is also a very low bar.

Oh, I've mostly stopped arguing with tankies. I'm just trolling a little at this point.

i.e. Westerners portraying Xi as a yellow animal

TIL the Chinese people on Weibo that originally created and spread the meme are "Westerners".
Oh boy, look at what rather unfortunately named character they compared President Obama to! I bet if we were evil imperialists we'd claim that was intentional and a disgusting example of racism. Can you imagine the kind of person who would make such a bad-faith argument?
Good thing we're not like those guys, eh comrade?

There are definitely good traits and much to be said about China's accomplishments. But it's just the same old empire story. Even if it's the lesser evil, how long will that last? How far from the Golden Path will each new generation stray? Corruption and rot has always been historically given.

Because liberals believe in supporting the lesser evil within their own nations. Am I wrong?
I'm just applying that same principle internationally.
Are you applying it as a negative to libs? If so, then my reply stands. You created an argument via propter hoc… and it should be discarded. If you intended something different them you should reword your argument to something more substantial than “libs choose less sucky thing so they should like China.”

I think you're just using it wrong.

I lived there for four years. For me the bad outweighed the good.

Not sure how do you measure evil.
The only thing I’m certain is they are newer player in the colonizing game, so the accumulated damage is less than Europeans.

Pretty ironic for someone named queermunist to support a regime which has openly made anti-queer remarks and anti-queer legislation.

If China is so great, why does it have so many billionaires?

It is funny how you guys always becomes complete fans of the "lesser evil". As if it is not actually considered the "lesser evil" by you, but "the absolute best and most fantastic thing that exists".

I have, most of them don't consider it evil at all. Funny how Westerners always say "go ask people living there" when they absolutely mean "trust the West"

Which is exactly how the liberals who talk about "lesser evil" feel about the democratic party
