Which I acknowledged but then you go and do the same thing by trying to erect some kind of tribal defense. It's all quite silly.

I think it' would be hard to argue that the psl aren't at very least anti western imperialist considering their opposition towards the projects of the western hegemony.

However if you are trying to state that China is an imperialist country that's an entirely different argument that you haven't established, nor is it really prevalent the current argument.

I agree they're anti-western imperialism but that's not sufficient to be anti-imperialist in a broader sense. Even the US opposes imperialism of their rivals--that's part of the nature of imperial powers. But it would be very misleading to describe them as anti-imperialist. To qualify you need to take a principled stance against actions that constitute imperialism, no matter who is taking them.
