China campits exist. There are fantastic sources of information about China who are not even remotely Marxist and just support China for whatever reason. I am wondering what percentage of China supporters do you think that applies to?

I can’t take anyone who uses this slur seriously.
I don’t think slur is the appropriate word to use here.
There are people who simply support China because it isn’t the US. For example, one of the best sources for economic news about China is Inside China Business. He lives in China and supports China but he literally thinks that the reason for China’s success is that God is rewarding them for being the largest Christian nation and punishing the US for abandoning the faith. I don’t know what other word to describe this guy and people like him as.
Delusional is the word, but he’s probably a Chinese agent. I’ve seen multiple people who seem to be Chinese-aligned posting right-wing views, and I myself am not taking a hard support position for LGBTQIA+ (i.e, willing to critically support CPRF, which aligns with mainstream Russian homophobia).
Mao, in talks with Nixon, admitted he loved rightists, in part because they have the perfect cover to cooperate with China or even support socialism (which is what this Christian fundamentalist is doing).
Maybe the correct term for ICB is, not a Marxist, but a fellow traveler. And we are likely to get more of these than actual MLs simply because they’ll be supported more aggressively by anti-imperialist nations.
The only time I see this term being used it when Trotskyists run out of road and have nothing else to say. Then they apply it incorrectly as a mindless slur. I don’t see it applying to the Inside China Business guy. I don’t know what you call him, a religious nut? A right winger?
good start
