(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?

IDK about the west, but in China yes. A lot of people put Chinese interests over international ones (advocating for exploitation of countries or conquering others (it's 2024 bro this aint hoi4)), not like the government gives a fuck about them. Of course I generally hang around the Chinese equivalent of youtube comment sections, so probably sampling bias.

That's about what I expected. It's the same in the west. Very few people are ardent neoliberals but many just support their team (if they are politically active at all).
