China was not an imperialist country though

In fact the exact opposite - they were a colonial country held in shackles by the imperial powers /Japan/uk/France and USA

So China was a communist revolution and a national liberation struggle against capitalist imperialism described in Lenins Right Of Nations To Self Determination

The equivalent item (if we’re trying to find one) is the Communist Party of China working with Uncle Tom Chinese that collaborated with the foreigners

They didn’t…they shot them
