Why would the chinese communist party want a “democratic” Russia?
My theory is this... The hardline Communist in China do not like democracy for China... But their children and grandchildren do like making money off democratic countries, travelling to democratic countries, etc... The old Commies like to keep those children in check, so they have these ‘Chinese police stations’ set up in democratic countries to insure that their children and grandchildren tow the Communist line.
They have ‘police stations’ throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, etc. and they likely have them in Russia... And the kids in Russia are missing their McDonald’s and they are especially missing their KFC. Just a theory.
