I mean, some Maoists (usually the real cranks, which tend to be ~95% of Maoism in the West) like to insist you absolutely have to learn Chinese to understand Maoism, so it's probably a self perpetuating assumption in communist spaces specifically. (I'm not a Maoist. I just deal with their nonsense more often than I'd like to.)
