(I ask in good faith) What percent of people do you think are just China campists instead of genuine Marxist Leninists? (lemmygrad.ml)

China campits exist. There are fantastic sources of information about China who are not even remotely Marxist and just support China for whatever reason. I am wondering what percentage of China supporters do you think that applies to?

I can't take anyone who uses this slur seriously.

I don't think slur is the appropriate word to use here.
There are people who simply support China because it isn't the US. For example, one of the best sources for economic news about China is Inside China Business. He lives in China and supports China but he literally thinks that the reason for China's success is that God is rewarding them for being the largest Christian nation and punishing the US for abandoning the faith. I don't know what other word to describe this guy and people like him as.
