Fox News is run by Maoists and attacking Xi for being a revisionist.

Guys have you heard? Xi Jinping is secretly a member of the Chinese Communist Party! He may even be an agent of China itself!

I was almost certain that the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party was a liberal

I remember back when Xi first assumed leadership that there were Westoid articles about how he was secretly a liberal reformer. I think one even called him "China's Gorbachev".

Then the CIA classified cables got leaked to media and they had a oh fk moment when he was described as a "redder than red" true believer not vulnerable to corruption. Overnight went to calling him the second coming of Joseph Stalin.

Is it true? Has Xi turned his back on Mao?

This reminds of when Raul Castro resigned there were a bunch of celebratory liberal puff pieces about how it signaled the end of communism in Cuba. Then they realized the incoming president Diaz-Canel is a Marxist and the liberal rags lost interest

and they said investigative reporting would be difficult!

Likely thing for him to be

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There are subtle clues everywhere if you know where to look. The way he holds his hands, showing off the tip of the thumb on the hand to the LEFT from the observer's point of view. The slight tilting of the head to his LEFT. The way he spent 4 years earning an official doctorate in Marxist ideology from a major university. It's not easy to spot, but it's there!

[–] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

maybe being the head of the CPC may be another clue

I know its out there but its possibly related
