Chinese method: occupy all sorts of niches. Far left? We're communists! Far right? We're trad ethnonationalists! LGBT? Communism supports gay! Dumb as a block? We have influencers for this! High IQ? We have plenty of theories for this! Rich? We're also rich and would like to cooperate! Poor? We come to your country to invest and develop!

Whatever your niche is the China has someone tailored for you.

No denying or saying that China actually do these things or not do them, but just saying the vast network of the outreach programs.

I do not think many countries in the world has both the (far) left and (far) right supporting it. Other than libleft and boomer right you can't find many people against China other than those with ambitious views that seek to dominate the world or have some geopolitical conflict.

Perhaps, one reason that it still calls itself communist, is because it is flexible in gathering support from both communists and fascists.
