And yet it doesn't, and it is actively working against the destruction of the present world imperialist order of the west because it has recognized its common cause- with AES nations, but also with an overwhelming number of capitalist nations of all stripes across the global south (with which it is among the leading actors in creating a system of multipolarity and win-win cooperation whereby the highest form of capital, imperialism, will be truly and utterly defunct). Funny isn't that- is it really so "fundamentally identical," or is that just easier to believe rather than realizing that imperialism is a devil in and of itself in its own right (evolved from and the highest form of capital, but also clinging on to and threatening the world as the system of capital it built around itself crumbles and abandons it)?
China and the other AES states (and the overwhelming majority of the global south, or even the non-white western world) aren't going around playing the "both sides" card, they understand exactly what this is and what the necessary stance is. That they are trying to present options for peace doesn't change that.
Among many things, my point is that your false equation is disgusting and hideous, to the extent that I can only assume it fills a certain need within the white western psyche to be able to project all their nations' collective crimes of imperialism on others. Putin is a shitlib, but he isn't 90% Hitler or even 25-50% comparable to Klanmala, Genocide Joe, Genocide Drumpf, or the leaders of any western regime- he is actively working against the imperialist world order (out of self-preservation) and actively working in cooperation with the rest of humanity specifically to break free from the global western system of debt enslavement, resource theft, and worldwide destabilization and forever wars. And to describe the resistance of a nation from imperialism (as you can recognize, to your credit) as the resistance of "90% Hitler from 99% Hitler" is hideous and characteristically European and liberal (Eurolib). Was the conflict between the Aztecs and the conquistadors a fight between "90% Hitler and 99% Hitler?" What about the resistance of Ethiopia, of Qing China, of Nasser's Egypt or of the ROC (and the united second front) against the Japanese? Are Hamas, Iran, or the other factions of the resistance "90% Hitler up against the 99% Hitler" of the NATO-Zionist imperialist world order?
