one is bad, and the other is also bad
While Xi and the CPC is somewhat revisionist they're nowhere near close Trump level evil
There are some revisionist elements in the CPC (I'm wary of Li Qiang for example) but I definitely wouldn't call Xi a revisionist. His installment as General Secretary was more or less an orthodox marxist coup against revisionist Shanghai politicians.
I have alot of respect for Li Qiang, and while I understand being wary of officials advocating even for limited market forces, he seems to be one of the more genuine and driven and simultaneously pro-marxist officials in the party.
Is there anything in particular that makes you very wary of him?
He just seems a little more pro-private enterprise then I feel comfortable with. He at least seems competent and I don't think he is an outright revisionist like Gorbachev, but enough to make me skeptical.
