Xi Jinping is also a dictator.

I was gaming with friends on Discord when the topic of China passingly came up and one guy started going off about how China and Russia are both socially backward authoritarian dictatorships and how China is communist in name only, oppresses its minority groups and no true socialist should support them.

Anyway, they're also pro-NATO

or god forbid, across the north-south divide

I know Cantonese people who think Vietnamese people are closer to them than some Dongbeiren.

Oh yeah totally. I have a Vietnamese friend who looks more "Chinese" than my Cantonese friend who looks more "Vietnamese".

The north south divide is real man. When I lived in Shanghai before internet shopping became common, I had to go back north to get clothes because they don't stock stuff in my size down south.

That guy in particular is probably a han supremacist tho.

They are more Cantonese chauvinists than Han supremacists, especially once you hear the shit they say about the Hakka.

The concept of a Cantonese chauvinist is really funny to me for some reason. Like, logically I can resumably guess what it would entail, but it's really funny to draw the line at being compared those godforsaken heathens up in Shandong or in Sichuan
