The whole article is quite funny, especially the lists of most used tankie words, or the branding of foreignpolicy as a left-wing news source.

Whoever the people are that got their comments published on page 33 and 34 deserve a special flair (does Lemmy have those?)

Also, it's so funny how the authors keep calling the Communist Party of China the CCP instead of the CPC. For table 10 they had to switch between these keywords because the tankies community is the only one that can get the acronym right LMAO

I almost appreciate the CCP/CPC thing, because it gives me a shorthand as to know whether the upcoming argument will have any merit or just be bullshit.

I still look at their actual argument on their merits, but 95% of the time it has gone exactly the way I expected.
