Not 100% sure but I think the context for this comment is a very cool video of a Chinese solar panel plant in Afghanistan.

Marxist-Leninists performing bourgeois revolutions better than any bourgeois party ever could

Correction: Marxist Leninists performing the only revolutions better than anyone else could

Appreciation of socialism will follow China's assistance, so that might make things easier for people

The conclusion anyone who has played Victoria 3 would come to, once you have enough factories that all your peasants are employed you can't keep building more, but you gotta get landowner clout low enough that the dang aristocrats can't stop you from passing Propertied Women

Just build all your arms factories and barracks in your capital and demolish all your barracks everywhere else, then provoke a civil war, smh not that hard.

This is just right communist economistic claptrap.

...yes and no. On one hand, China could do more -- they could aid local communists, or at least local groups who are trying to improve women's rights specifically. On the other hand, much of the last century is riddled with examples of when even the good kind of more direct intervention backfires, especially in the context of an enemy in the U.S. who will seek to use anything and everything against China.

Take the "China should do more" idea to the extreme: China invades and installs a communist government. We should all see a million reasons why that would turn out badly.

Women employed by a Taliban led government doesn't sound especially liberatory
