I have been lurking on Chinese social media because I’m sort of a native Chinese speaker. In China’s leftist scene, a lot of the “patriot”, anti-imperialist, pro-CPC folks are extremely anti-feminist, anti-LGBT, racist, xenophobic, anti-semitic, and islamophobic.
Of course CPC itself doesn’t slightly take those stances. However I’m worried if it grows out of control it might be a problem in the future, as some of those leftist influencers have millions of social media followers.
unfortunate. i can only hope that those with such views remain a minority or have little power to cause harm. at the same time, i cannot expect a developing country with a very rural population to be perfect about things like this.
