> On a cultural note, many ppl call Westerners with PC leanings “白左” and view the PC movement as a bit ridiculous.

Putting aside whether "westerners with PC leanings" are "ridiculous" or not, it's hardly surprising that a country ruled by the CCP would have isolationist tendencies against international leftist movements that do not align with their own national interests. This power grab over language and definition is pretty evident in any "socialist" one party state that has existed.

“Westerners with PC leanings” are considered ridiculous by most every culture in the world. If there is any ideology that has a “power grab over language and definition” it is the modern, Western left.

I was very consciously not trying to have this discussion based on how I phrased my comment, so could you please raise the bar a little?
