I am a Marxist in China
Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).
The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it's Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, "the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist."
In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.
I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?
I ran this through google translate and got "I'm looking forward to seeing you there", but I don't understand what that means in the context of my comment that this is a reply too, is maybe google translate a bad option for translation? I'm not sure what a better translator is and I'm open to a better one if I can get a link for it.
我用谷歌翻译试了一下，结果显示是“我很期待在那里见到你”，但我不太明白这句话放在我原本那条评论的语境下是什么意思——难道谷歌翻译不太好用吗？我也不清楚哪个翻译工具更好，如果能提供链接的话，我很乐意尝试一下更好的工具。
What I actually said was "I didn't understand what you were saying," but somehow Google managed to translate it as "I'm looking forward to seeing you there." I used to rely heavily on AI tools (Baidu AI, Google Translate, Gemini, DeepL, and DeepSeek) to translate and polish my words. Usually, I’d have one software translate my Chinese into English, and then use another to translate it back to check for errors. However, some people started claiming that I don't sound human, or that I sound like a liberal trying to use AI to pass off as Chinese. It made me feel like I was just being overly affectionate and wasting my time trying to please a group of people who look down on me anyway. So now, I only write in casual, colloquial Chinese—even if machine translation might struggle to understand it. (The paragraph above was translated by AI).
我说的是“我没看懂你在说什么”（I didn't understand what you were saying.），不知道谷歌怎么做到翻译为"I'm looking forward to seeing you there"。我之前一直在用AI翻译润色（百度AI、谷歌翻译、gemini、deepl、deepseek），通常一个软件翻译汉语为英文之后，再用另一个软件翻译回中文看看是否无误，但是有介于某些人认为我说话没人味、我像自由派用AI装中国人，我觉得我在自作多情、浪费时间讨好一群人根本看不起我的人，我现在只用中文的口语化表达，机翻可能无法理解（以上这段话是AI翻译）
