I am a Marxist in China
Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).
The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it’s Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, “the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist.”
In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.
I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?
Comrade, I don’t think people should minimize your struggle. We appreciate all the economic and technological development pushed by China and its support for some of the anti-imperialist struggles around the world. Take into account there are multiplie parallel struggles happening around the world and without Iran, Russia or China things would be much worse.
That said, the contradiction between the Chinese proletariat and capitalists is something you still need to organize against. I don’t have the proper understanding of how are the conditions for struggle in China, this is something you and your comrades need to assess.
非常感谢你的支持，我承认中国外交政策上和美国相比确实已经非常克制和正常了，这有助于推动各国的解放运动。我以后可以会转发一些中国阶级矛盾的新闻，让你们了解中国国情的复杂性，前提是我不会被打成自由派的话
