If you're a "leftist" yet find yourself aligned with the entire Western world in attacking China and in opposition to the global south including Cuba, Venezuela, the DPRK, & Iran—all nations who stand by China on the frontlines battling imperialism—then reevaluate your politics.

Global south, anti-imperialist, and formerly colonized nations strongly support China and its defense of its sovereignty from Western imperialism in Hong Kong while the entire Western world including every violent colonial nation like the US & UK opposes China.

Notice a pattern?

If you find yourself on the opposite side of every major global south, anti-imperialist, & socialist nation in the world including Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, & the DPRK—all entities that have repeatedly, steadfastly declared their support of China—then reevaluate your politics.
