Do left-wingers in Europe and America really like anti-American nationalist countries (Russia, Iran) so much? Actually, orthodox Marxists on the Chinese internet do not like Russia and Iran (lemmygrad.ml)

I am a Marxist in China

Orthodox Marxists in the Chinese internet community often view Russia and Iran as weak links in imperialism, rather than as anti-imperialist forces .However, in the view of Chinese Marxists, opposing the global hegemony of the United States takes precedence over opposing secondary imperialisms (Iran, Russia).

The person in the picture is Yang Heping, a US citizen with a Chinese green card, and he is the most popular orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist self-media figure on the Chinese internet (with 3 million followers on Tiktok and 800,000 on Bilibili). Yang Heping advocates that whether it's Ukraine, Russia, or Iran, "the truth is on the side of the proletariat, not on the side of any government or capitalist."

In China, those who unconditionally support Iran and Russia are usually nationalists or national leftists.

I wonder if the differences between the left-wing in Europe and America and the left-wing in China are really that significant?

What does "Orthodox Marxist-Leninist-Maoist" mean? In English, Orthodox Marxists are generally those who decry Leninism, and Maoist can mean anything from "Believes in Mao-Zedong thought." to "Is a Gonzalo supporter but only admits so behind closed doors." This description you've given of this person is full of contradictory information and isn't very helpful to me.

Can you elaborate on your terms please?

中国的正统马克思主义就是指“认为资本主义存在不可调和的根本矛盾，必须通过民主计划经济过度直至国家的消亡”，我在其他回复里回答过这个问题，你可以找找

Apologies, I asked my question before seeing the reply where you had already answered it.
