just wondering. would have supporting the BS party in the past have been part of a larger support China idea? I wonder how much of their historical support was due to subordinated loyalty to China.
Chinkland in the 1950s and 1960s just emerged from their civil war and various commie purges. Support for chinkland is akin to support to the commie party during the cold war period.
This support is more grey today in international relations, as the commies dial back their commie outreach. But in chinkland itself, the chinks are expected to first be loyal to the commie party, then be loyal to chinkland. The two are distinct entities. Even in chinkland, the military and security apparatus are reminded to be loyal to the commies before the State.
