Lots of cross pollination of policy and culture and politics.
Admittedly I don’t live in the far East, where the contact with China actually happens, but I don’t see it here, west of Urals. Feel free to correct me.
but there has been a strong undercurrent of genuine communists slowly growing over the last decade.
And there has been a growing response to them from the government. AFAIK at least one communist organisation was forbidden from registration as a political party, because they honestly outlined their position in the program. The response was that since they are “openly calling for change of government” they fall under extremist definition. There’s a law, you see, makes calling for a government overthrow illegal. It’s been used to clamp down on fascists and some orgs that were probably pro-west liberals. But make no mistake - since socialism requires a revolution, this law will be used to clamp on communists too.
Well, I am an American, who are so famously good at knowing what they are talking about 😂😂😂 so I have to readily admit that I am merely going off of a different person’s allegedly living there’s perspective, it was a decent read but I don’t have any facts to really back my claims. You likely have much more information on this just being a resident so I’ll definitely take your word for it over my secondhand take; I have nothing to correct you with. And the second part too makes perfect sense.
Sorry if I’m speaking robotically I’m just really 🌲🌲🌲 while writing this, thank you for your response I would also like to hear more details from you as a resident if you would be down to share further takes on the matter, always down to learn from new sources
