Western powers carved up and subjugated China for around a century, and they were finally kicked out by the communists

Can we please stop referring to China as communist? It was only ever communist in name. Just like Nazis were only ever socialist in name.

Maybe learn a bit about China before making ignorant statements like this. Here's a book you could read and maybe learn something about the subject you're opining on https://redletterspp.com/products/the-east-is-still-red

edit: I love how a lot of westerners made hating China their identity without learning a first thing about it, I guess it's easier to swallow having to live in capitalist hell if you believe that nothing better is possible
