I think people are well aware that revolutions aren’t spearheaded by foreign powers. But the OP would have been more palatable if China had a better track record of supporting AES states.
The US is certainly not China’s responsibility, but they don’t exactly take care of their own backyard. I guess holding them up to the standards set by the Soviet Union’s ideological commitments in foreign policy is asking too much despite the former having achieved far bigger financial and productive dominance.
The PRC does not have military dominance compared with the SU. The SU during the 60s had more nukes than the PRC has right now in 2026. You can't have a SU foreign policy without a SU military to back up that policy, and what the PLA currently has right now doesn't cut it (although that will change very soon).
The entire Warsaw Pact had 69k tanks ready to drive west and push the Atlanticist bourgeoisie straight to the Atlantic they love so much. The PLA does not have 69k tanks. The PLA doesn't even have a nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
See my other comments in the thread, I agree with you on this, it would be nice if China was more like the USSR. However, I think "China help us" as a tweet is just "China will save us" type of stuff and "the revolution has to come from within" is not only a reasonable reply to that, it's 100% correct.
