You can say every country should do x, but that’s only weakening the relative position of any country that chooses to comply. There’s no way to make the West follow suit. They obviously won’t.
You’re falling into the same error of thought that anarchists commit when they say “all states are bad, so China AND America should be balkanized/destroyed/resisted.” You are not rising above the fray. You’re not even declaring neutrality. You’re jumping in on the side of our class enemies by demanding our allies diminish their power for nothing in return.
I don’t really know what you’re after. You can either try to earnestly understand why the CPC doesn’t do what you expect or throw up your hands and become an anticommunist. I hope it’s the prior.

no i’m not. destroying the outpost would be an incredible blow to hegemony, and i’m not even asking for all that much.
