Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

Maybe tinges of social democracy in a fast-growing economy accompanied by mass human rights abuse.

Ok, they're nicer than the west, that doesn't mean it's not still imperialism. Most of the time they don't forgive debt and when they do it's corrupt; they're trying to win them over to become satellite states one day.

Should they instead be cultivating enemies that will try to destroy everything they've done to alleviate poverty?
