Why do you use the liberal label? I've been hearing this "China bad" shit from the right for years

    Because the entire US political spectrum fits nearly inside of "neoliberalism". Liberalism in general is just capitalism+.

    I think the world liberal is used... Liberally. I usually equate it in the US political term for left of center (or rather the opposite of conservatives), but I know the entire US political system is hijacked - both "sides" answer to the same overlords

    The general, international use of "liberal" used here and in leftist circles refers to economic liberalism, which is favoring capitalism (private control of the means of production), free markets, and individualism.
