For instance, I have an aunt who is definitely MAGA, and is flirting with Q-Anon ideas. However, she has pretty good views on the environment and animal rights. For instance, after travelling to Ecuador, she donates to some Ecuadorian land trust run by locals. However, if you start talking to her about the border or gender, she goes full Orbán.
I mean the interventionist takes are kinda insane, you can’t just give a nuke to the Maoist guerrillas in India and not have international repercussions that may or may not lead to WW3.
Also China not rapidly building up market forces in the late 20th century and early 21st to become too powerful to be checked by the west is in retrospect a good thing, as it has allowed us to lift millions out of poverty. Especially post USSR, our economic entanglement with the west stopped them from trying any drastic colour revolutions else their own shareholders lose value from their investments in the emerging Chinese markets. I can see China chugging along without Dengism, like Cuba has up until now, but I also see the massive improvements to rail, healthcare, spaceflight, computing and defense that may not have been possible without market reforms.
Ultimately, my uncle is a man of many contrasts.
