I've often suspected that libs and maoists tend to say exactly the same shit about China, though granted, Maoists tend to at least understand what they're talking about. Still strikes me as a little weird that this attitude has more in common with a liberal one than an ML one.

Almost like a westerner lambasting China for not being communist enough does nothing but reinforce the average westerner's perception of the place as an "evil hellhole."
