As fascism is rising in parts of the world, I have begun to wonder how China considers socialists/communists from other countries, as a contingency plan if all else fails.
Communism is barely within the overton window in many western capitalist countries, this can change in the future.
I am from a northern european country, so the country is a social democracy, but slowly becoming more right leaning and economically libertarian.
Edit:I highly doubt I would have any reason to move in the future, but I am kinda curious by nature. I also have it really comfortable, and do not fear any political prosecution.
They don’t care honestly. It doesn’t come up much in my conversations out here, but when it does it’s usually met with a shrug and then we talk about something else. People here are a lot more apolitical overall than I expected, but I think that is largely a result of living under governance that actually cares about them and invests in society. I think it’s like if things are running smoothly (and they definitely are), what do they have to concern themselves with?
From my limited view on Chinese culture (I visited once and browsed rednote during the tiktok ‘ban’) I don’t think anyone, either socially or professionally, cares about political views to nearly the extent as in the west. If one were to move to China, what would be ultimately regarded is your ability to contribute and your positive influence on your local community. You could do this as a pigheaded capitalist or a principled marxist leninist - I don’t think they’d care, as long as you fit in.
China has had a fairly consistent policy of no intervention since their disasters in Vietnam and Cambodia, and i don’t think that’s going to change. Also afaik china welcomes everyone as long as you can contribute to China, don’t expect to get freebies handed out to you because you’re a “communist”.
Oh, I was not thinking about intervention. I was not thinking about freebies, but they are in general positive to that political view?
i don’t think they care about western communists, nor should they considering the amount of chauvinist communists parties out there.
But is a communist from the west moving to China considered to be someone with a negative or harmful political view? Or is it more in line with the general political view in the country, making a transition easier?
What do you mean about chauvinist communist parties? As in critical of China?
I think that if you are a foreigner living in China they probably don’t want you involving yourself in their politics. Regardless what your politics are. It’s none of your business, it’s theirs. This also is part of the “non-interventionist” mentality.
