Racism in China, is this a real thing?

Hi, I am a Japanese student who recently got his first account on BiliBili. I was troubled by the usage of racist terms on that platform. Is this kind of racist speech common in China?

This is the first time I encountered a sub where every post must be reviewed

Pretty sure the moderators from that sub are secret CCP agents.

China Internet Politic 101: A Quick Guide to Understand the Sino-folks ——Lesson 2: Internet Leftist(网左)

Internet Leftists

Nowadays, "Internet Leftist" is often used as a pejorative to describe left-leaning individuals on the Chinese internet. For many, the term is applied broadly to anyone who adopts Marxist theory, whether they identify as a socialist, a communist, or even a "left-wing fascist." In practice, the label is often weaponized to attack opposing factions; indeed, leftists frequently use it against one another in a struggle to prove themselves the "true heirs of Marx." However, for the purpose of this article, I will use the term to describe a specific group that fits the moniker most precisely: Chinese Maoists who view Deng Xiaoping and subsequent CCP officials as revisionists.

Despite fundamentally rejecting Mao's economic and political path following Deng Xiaoping's rise to power, the CCP continues to utilize Mao as a foundational icon to unify the population. Beginning in primary school, Mao’s life is heavily romanticized in history classes—conspicuously omitting the devastating human toll of his policies; his theories are mandatory curriculum in politics classes, and his writings are analyzed as literary masterpieces in Mandarin classes. Furthermore, his portrait remains ubiquitous: anchoring the currency, overlooking Tiananmen Square, and cast in hundreds of statues across the country. Through decades of state-sponsored propaganda, the CCP has institutionalized Mao as a flawless, messianic leader who liberated the Chinese people from the grip of Japanese imperialism and the Kuomintang (KMT). By positioning itself as the rightful custodian of "Mao Zedong Thought," the CCP successfully legitimizes its authoritarian mandate to rule.

Yet, this seemingly flawless strategy contains one massive loophole: what happens when people actually read Mao’s original writings and realize that the society they live in completely contradicts his vision?

>Imagine growing up as a high school student in China. For nearly eighteen years, you are fed a steady diet of Mao’s heroic exploits: how he crushed the landlords, defeated the capitalists, and fought to build a communist paradise. These stories instill a deep, unshakeable admiration for Mao, making you feel immensely proud to live in a great nation forged by his hands.

>Driven by these ideals, you decide to bypass higher education to proudly join the ranks of the proletariat. But the moment you enter the factory floor, reality shatters your illusions. You quickly realize that China's modern working class lives in grueling, impoverished conditions. Your manager demands relentless overtime while refusing to pay you a single cent in overtime wages. Your government-backed "union leaders" offer zero assistance, despite pocketing a 10% chunk of your hard-earned monthly salary as mandatory dues. By the end of your first grueling month, your paycheck barely covers your rent.

>Lying awake at night, you replay everything you were taught: Marx’s theories on a worker's utopia and the pristine, egalitarian myth of the Mao era. In that dark room, the epiphany hits you: China is no longer a socialist society. The modern CCP has abandoned Mao’s design, opening the gates to unbridled capitalism and exploitation. You realize it is your duty to wrestle the wheel back toward the righteous path—Mao’s path. At that exact moment, your naive, patriotic self dies. In its place, a new Internet Leftist is born.

In summary, an Internet Leftist is a paradox: someone who is intelligent enough to realize that modern China has abandoned its socialist ideals, yet ideologically blind enough to believe every piece of state propaganda regarding the perfection of the Mao era. They are acutely aware of the capitalist exploitation surrounding them today, but utterly oblivious to the totalitarian catastrophes of the past. Ultimately, their radicalism is born not from a true understanding of history, but from using a whitewashed myth to escape a brutal reality.

  • Ideology: Maoism. Unlike many self-proclaimed socialists and communists (such as the Hasan fans), Internet Leftists have actually read the foundational works of Marx, Lenin, and Mao. Many worship Mao to such an extent that they can recite entire passages from his text from memory. This deep familiarity with political theory can make them appear exceptionally well-informed, or even reasonable, at first glance. However, this intellectual veneer makes them far more dangerous than the typical "Little Pink" (小粉红). While the latter are driven by a generic, reactionary nationalism, Internet Leftists actively dogmatize a radical ideology whose historical implementation resulted in the deaths of at least 80 millions Chinese citizens.
  • Demography: The core demographic of this group consists primarily of recent university/high school graduates who have just entered the workforce. Alarmingly, however, this radical rhetoric has even begun to indoctrinate primary school students. Geographically, many of these internet leftists reside in manufacturing hubs and highly competitive regions like Jiangsu province, frequently working grueling hours as blue-collar factory laborers.
  • Quick ID guide: Identification of Internet Leftist can be difficult as the group is currently split into a dozen smaller faction based on ideology differences. However, most of them can be identified by supporting Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine War and opposing Israel (Yep, antisemitism runs deep in the communism vein) in the Middle-East conflict. Typically exhibit deep-seated hostility toward the current CCP government, calling them revisionists or fascists. The group is also known for religious whorship on Mao Zedong; they often respond with intense anger when they encounter others "badmouthing" Mao or his policies.
  • Likelihood of Encounter on Reddit: Medium. This group is heavily persecuted by the Chinese government for its overt opposition to the current regime. Consequently, their members are primarily active on social media platforms outside the reach of the CCP's Great Firewall, such as Reddit and Telegram. Because they reject the modern CCP's legitimacy, r/Marxism has become their major stronghold on Reddit. They can also frequently be spotted on r/ussr (some members of the group whorship Stalin) , and r/communism. Yet, the bulk of their un-censored activities are carried out on independent, dedicated websites, such as the bol'shevik, and the Proletarian liberation struggle forum (some of their posts are really funny, like critisizing anime girls for being too "sexy.").
  • Easily mistaken with: Western tankies. While both "Internet Leftists" and Western "Tankies" are notorious for idolizing authoritarian communist figures like Mao and Stalin, the two groups are easily distinguished by their starkly contrasting attitudes toward modern Beijing. Whereas Chinese Internet Leftists view the current Chinese government as a corrupt, capitalistic, and revisionist betrayal of Maoism, most Western tankies—uncritically consuming official CCP propaganda from afar—stubbornly romanticize modern China as a thriving socialist utopia.
  • Noticable Memebers:
  • Fred Engst, also knwon as Yang Heping (阳和平) in China. Yang’s parents were American leftists who immigrated to China in the late 1940s out of ideological conviction. Born in Beijing in 1952, Yang and his family held immense political value for the CCP, serving as living propaganda to showcase Westerners embracing the communist cause. This unique status insulated them from the catastrophic political turmoils of the era. Raised under the special custody and privilege of the state, Yang enjoyed a comfortable childhood—one that was certainly better than the farmers who starved to death during the Great Famine.
  • In 1974, Yang moved to the United States, eventually earning a PhD in economics in 1997—a fascinating irony for an ardent defender of planned economies. Upon returning to China after his studies, Yang was shocked to find a working class struggling to survive under the weight of unbridled capitalism. Having spent his formative years inside an idealized echo chamber constructed by the Maoist regime, he concluded that Chinese workers were far better off before Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms. Consequently, he became a vocal critic of the modern CCP, utilizing his unique background to praise Maoist doctrines and inspire today's Internet leftists.
  • Beside from sucking Mao's dick, Yang is famously known for describing the current CCP government as an imperialist regime. To be honest, some of his geopolitical stances align closely with Western liberal. For instance, unlike many self-identified socialists who lean pro-Moscow, Yang fiercely supports Ukraine in the Russia-Ukraine war, framing the conflict as a righteous resistance against Russian imperialism. However, this rational analysis completely disintegrates when it comes to his profound delusions regarding Maoist atrocities. Yang enthusiastically defends the Cultural Revolution, casually dismissing its millions of victims as "revisionists" or "Nazis." This grotesque rationalization exposes the fatal flaw of his worldview: an intellectual capacity to identify modern imperialism, utterly blinded by a dogmatic allegiance to historical totalitarianism.

我说日本漫画产业真的完蛋了,这种弱智东西都能动画化。
给没看过的人说一下,这个故事说白了就是《熟读三十六计的我穿越回到三国能否成为一代名将》,主角的所有“高智商”都建立在周围人不是弱智就是天意傀儡的基础上。
我先不说你一个设定在近未来核战后的时代怎么连重型枪械都没有,士兵的护甲甚至不如特么日本战国时期,我看你不是核战后是特么外星人给地球人上了科技锁吧,整个故事的设定完全是为了让主角从儿童读物上学到的小计谋能有发挥空间,没有一点的合理性。
整个故事里更是充斥着各种弱智人物,应该说主角之所以显得出众是因为周围的人都太傻了,毕竟在这个世界观下能读过三十六计就是诸葛亮的级别了,而主角牛逼就是因为他读过孙子兵法+论语+道德经,你从洼地随便抓个小镇做题家扔到这个世界都比主角牛逼。
至于故事情节,我就不说什么小学生智斗情节了,尼玛第三章你都知道对面是在玩空城,结果为什么还是撤了?天意侵蚀是吧,合着你这部不是日本三国,是特么日本新三国吧。

For most Westerners, the Chinese internet remains a mystery. Due to the "Great Firewall," which prevents its citizens from accessing the global network, Sino-netizens have formed an insular subculture known as the "Keyboard Politics Circle" (键政圈). Since the COVID-19 pandemic—during which the CCP totally fucked up—political discussion has surged in popularity on the Chinese internet. Younger generations began using political discourse as a form of rebellion against the state, while extremist groups, such as the FLG, leverage this environment to expand their influence. Recognizing the potential danger of these discussions, the CCP has also deployed its propaganda machine to tighten its grip.

However, what truly makes political discussion in China unique is that most participants have been immersed in CCP propaganda their entire lives. Consequently, their understanding of ideology, history, and global affairs has been fundamentally distorted. When combined with algorithms that favor extreme viewpoints (the same mechanisms powering TikTok), China’s domestic internet has become a breeding ground for radical ideologies. While most of these extremists remain behind the Great Firewall, some have "escaped" to Western platforms like Reddit to spread their views.

I am writing this article to provide those unfamiliar with the Chinese internet a foundational understanding of China's various political factions and to help moderators identify Chinese extremists.

The Little Pink (小粉红)

The "Little Pinks" (小粉红) are among the most notorious political groups in China, known for their unwavering and often reflexive support of every government decision. They are the most numerous and influential faction in the domestic digital landscape, largely because they are one of the few groups the CCP does not actively target or censor.

Members of this group typically exhibit intense hostility toward Japan and the United States, as these nations are consistently portrayed as antagonists in state propaganda. A central tenet of their belief system is an exceptionalist view of China: the conviction that China was, is, and always will be the greatest nation on earth.

  • Ideology: It is difficult to categorize the Little Pinks into a single traditional ideology, as they tend to adopt whatever rhetoric the government promotes at any given moment—be it socialism, democracy, or fascism. While many identify themselves as "socialists," their behavior often aligns more closely with fascist characteristics, such as extreme nationalism, exclusivism, and militarism. Additionally, some members are vocal proponents of anti-Western conspiracy theories, such as the claim that the United States faked the moon landing.
  • Demography: The majority of this group consists of students and low-income workers who have been brainwashed by state-mandated education and media. Geographically, many reside in less-developed provinces or industrial heartlands, such as Shandong and Hebei. These regions often have more rigid educational systems and less exposure to international perspectives compared to tier-one coastal cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen.
  • Quick ID guide: Staunch supporters of Russia in the Russia-Ukraine War. Consistently align themselves with Iran and Palestine. Also frequently voice support for North Korea. Typically exhibit deep-seated hostility toward the United States, Japan, and any other Western nations perceived as "unfriendly" or adversarial to China's interests. Regarding Taiwan, the group is characterized by a militant commitment to "reunification," with the vast majority advocating for the use of military force if necessary. Members are also highly reactive to any perceived criticism of the CCP; they often respond with intense anger when they encounter others "badmouthing" the current government or its leadership.
  • Likelihood of Encounter on Reddit: Low to Medium. Most members lack the means or the intentions to access western social media platform. However, the sheer size of the group ensures that even a small percentage of "crossover" users can significantly impact global platforms, as we have seen on Reddit. Luckily, the majority of them will stay in Mandarian-speaking sub like r/China_irl since they are obviously incapable of communicating in English.
  • Easily mistaken with: CCP funded commentators. Yep, the CCP employs professional commentators to disseminate disinformation and shape narratives on global platforms. Several China-related subs including r/AskChina, r/OpenChina, and r/China will actively remove posts about bad news in China due to their "intimate" relationship with the Cyberspace Administration of China. With all that in mind, the biggest difference between a Little Pink and a commentator is that a commentator will often pretend to be a non-Chinese to maintain a "neutral persepctive" whereas a Little Pink will proudly admit that he/she/they is a Chinese.
  • Noticable Members:
  • Cai Yang: He is known for a brutal assault during the 2012 anti-Japanese protests, where Cai Yang attacked a fellow Chinese citizen simply for driving a Japanese-brand vehicle. This event was a watershed moment, marking one of the first high-profile instances of physical violence committed by an individual driven by the ultra-nationalist sentiments now associated with the Little Pinks. This legacy of aggression has continued to inspire similar incidents, such as the 2024 Suzhou bus stop attack, where a Japanese mother and child were targeted.
  • Kong Xuanzhong: One of the most prominent "Little Pink" influencers is Kong Xaunzhong (aka. Alex Kong), a former international student who rose to fame after being dismissed from a U.S. community college. Operating under the pseudonym "Lord Skreech"—a reference to the Skaven characters from AOS (TBH, Chinese society does share many similarities with the Skaven society)—Kong became one of the top influencers on Bilibili within months. Kong is notorious for fabricating extreme rumors about life in the United States, which he presents as "first-hand observations" from his time abroad. His most viral fabrication is the "Kill Line" (斩杀线) theory. This narrative claims that the American working class lives in such total economic insecurity that any minor life setback inevitably leads to homelessness and death. While this theory completely ignores the existence of social safety nets like SNAP or unemployment benefits, it gained such traction that Scott Bessent was actually questioned about it during the Davos World Economic Forum. Beyond economic myths, Kong disseminates even more lurid disinformation, including claims that the U.S. government harvests organs from the homeless and that global elites engage in cannibalism on "Epstein Island." It should be noted that Kong has been a long-time Reddit users and many of his story originates from tankie subs. Furthermore, he frequently targets female international students (mainly for refusing to have sex with him), labeling them as "prostitutes" who travel abroad solely to "sell themselves" to Westerners.

When tankies are calling others “fascist” on internet, true fascist such as Dugin is running an account on Chinese social media platforms like BiliBili, the Chinese equivalent of YouTube.

By the way, Dujin got a job in Fudan University, one of the best universities in China. Yep, a fascist is teaching students and giving lectures in a top Chinese university.
