If the PRC was leftist they probably wouldn't lock up Uyghurs in camps, or threaten to invade Taiwan with military force.

Ah, the no true leftist argument, I have never seen this before. Leftist doesnt mean perfect, yeah they have issues. They also happen to be the left leaning powerhouse, and that's one step closer to international communism that is powerful enough to properly address these issues, not capitalists that are playing the oppressed classes.

I wouldn't call an imperialist nation "left leaning". To me it's like when the Nazis called themselves socialists. But anyway I guess we will have different perspectives on this.
