So for example, If I am in the social democrat party of my country or at least support them. And if the social democrat party of my country partly supports China, views them as allies or adopt economic policies of China does that mean we are all Tankies? This speaking of real economic policies treaties and not just abstract ideology.

Well that is very funny to learn; I guess I have to learn more about these Tankies I never knew I was part of. So All countries in Brics are Tankies? Contries that want to decouple from the dollar Tankies; And given their foreign policies and genius trade wars of the US A lot of economic relations might arrange themselves towards China and east Asia in general... So we will have to see; Under this definition the future is looking awfully "Tankie"

Edit: I am chuckling at the idea that I am politically a soc-dem and fiscally Tankie (It still sounds like some very red scare way to say "traitor". The interesting thing to find out will be: "Traitor to what")
