I mean, China is notorious for its foreign policy being primarily based on realpolitik rather than ideological allegiance, so the adjective "communist" before China is irrelevant to who they will sell weapons to.
Still blows my mind that they recognize the Filipino government and ignore the NPA. They're Maoists for Christ's sake.
Because modern China is not socialist and its leadership has no intention of moving in that direction (indeed, they are moving in the opposite direction, including under Xi).
Very cool that you have the ability to read minds and foresee the future.
I know, I'm very #blessed.
