A tankie anytime anything controversial comes up that China has done: CIA!!!
Look, the CIA are fucking abhorrent, but not every bad thing in a communist country is their fault. China especially so. They can do fucked up things all on their own without the CIA’s help.
it cracks me up because i’ve also met the exact opposite person: someone who was shocked to learn that the cia has been involved in anything at all and that everything we know is just… listed right there on wikipedia.

I feel you’d have to be living under not just a rock, but a mountain, to not know the CIA does some exceptionally shady shit. Lol.
And even if the CIA was involved, that doesn’t automatically justify a violent response.
