Autocrats in China, Russia, and elsewhere are now making common cause with MAGA Republicans to discredit liberalism and freedom around the world.

The Atlantic is propaganda. Donald Trump has no common cause with China. MAGA does not either. This propaganda piece is a hit pierce meant to support the establishment who are globalist and have their own common agenda against the agenda of nationalist. Simple as that. Neither Republican, either of MAGA, nor establishment flavor are pro-China. Republican states passed or almost passed Sinophobic anti-investment laws. Banning Chinese citizens from owning land, for example. Those who oppose MAGA populism are anti-democratic, and both parties passed the ban on TikTok, which violated no laws. TikTok's sin was that it was free speech. It complied with US regulators at every turn. Data centers are in the US, not China. Why did TikTok do wrong? No information is known. This article is incoherent gibberish that goes way back to the Clinton years, as if MAGA existed back then, then it points out Chinese influence in Africa. This is typical drivel that outlets like The Atlantic comes out with. The article makes a vindicated correlation that anti-democrats are friends with other anti-democrats. Lol. Absolutely absurd. The MAGA people are saying America first, I see nothing from them that says they are friends with China or Russia. They don't wave China's flag or Russia's flag.
