(I ask in good faith) What percent of people do you think are just China campists instead of genuine Marxist Leninists? (lemmygrad.ml)

China campits exist. There are fantastic sources of information about China who are not even remotely Marxist and just support China for whatever reason. I am wondering what percentage of China supporters do you think that applies to?

CPC has almost 100 million members. Are they China campists, Marxist-Leninists, or both?

I'd argue that of the international Communist movement, the majority of party members are Chinese.

And the All-China Federation of Trade Unions is larger, 300 million.

They arent the largest communist party in the world, that belongs to India.

Are they China campists, Marxist-Leninists, or both?

Its always going to be a spectrum, there will be everything from liberals to ultras residing in it, ML with reference to historic Chinese socialism is clearly the dominant ideology however.

CPI has 650k members, CPI(M) has 100k members.

CPC is the largest Communist Party in the world.
