I can't speak for China, only Vietnam.

LGBTQ+

When it comes to LGBT, we are generally quite indifferent to it. It is not our jobs to interfere in other people's business. That was my impression of our social attitude towards queer people.

Legally speaking however, our laws are still behind in some aspects, such as not yet recognizing same-sex marriage, but it does not ban it either. Same-sex couples are allowed to held symbolic weddings as well as living together under the same roof. It's just that they won't enjoy the same legal rights and obligations as required for hetero couples. But fret not, our laws are getting more and more open, it was more open in the 201X than the 200X, and it will not doubt be more open in the future.

Women rights

The Communist Party of Vietnam in all its time of existence has been tirelessly advance women right and gender equality. I can confidently say that right now, I can feel no social discrimination between men and women. Women occupy just as many jobs as men do. In my household, my father and my mother are equal in decision making.

Anti-racism

I don't think racism is relevant to Vietnam.

But we do have ethnic minorities (I am of Nùng ethnicity, while the overwhelming majority of Vietnamese population is of Kinh). Ethnic minorities often receive favorable aids from the government in term of poverty eradication and education.

Respect for youth and elderly

Our culture inherits Confucian elements, and our government encourages positive traits such as filial piety while discouraging negative traits that are no longer compatible with modern time and socialism.

Be more specific. What do you consider "conservative"? What do you consider "progressive"?

He may have received direct orders from the CIA, who knows?

There are no contradiction here. Marx only states that capitalism will create the material condition for a revolution, he does not imply that it will magically happen.

Heaven and Earth change, but it is Man's will to seize the opportunity.

China presents itself as a noble 君子, the US and the collective West by contrast act like petty 小人. A noble man doesn't see the need to prove himself to the petty man, for he knows that by displaying his generosity, he will gradually win favors from the rest of the world.

So that was a fucking lie

Make big promises to get elected, then ignore these promises once you've won, such is the mechanism of liberal democracies, yet liberals everywhere are still falling for it.

Something Uyghur something concentration camp something something CCP.

Palestinian? Open air prison? Genocide in Gaza? What are you talking about?

Indian netizens are the most toxic people I've ever seen on the Internet. Especially when it comes to Muslim or LGBT.

If a communist isn't hated by the capitalist establishment, he isn't a real communist. (I do not imply that being hated by the establishment alone qualifies you to be a communist)

The term "leftist" is something I learned from the Internet, as neither the history books or the political education books in Vietnam use this term. As a result, I fail to discern Western Leftist from an average liberal, unless they talk like a Marxist-Leninist.
