Hello. Dunno if anyone still chats here these days. I’m familiar with the anti-Maoism in the library but was wondering if there was anything more contemporary, especially regarding empire building.

Chuǎng journal is probably the best ultra left resource. https://libcom.org/article/chuang-journal - they also have a book about the pandemic and more recent stuff on their site. https://chuangcn.org/blog/
In terms of empire building I am not sure - there is this article by Aufheben on Obama's pivot to China (2016) and a Chuǎng article and Aufheben response in issue 24 (p29 onwards - 2017). Neither of those is especially new.

There's also an entire reading guide on China here that is worth checking out. It could probably use some updating though to include some newer writings

Thanks adri. I’m only interested in Maoism against the CCP ala the POUM versus Russia. Imagine there’s going to be some leftfield permutations in China soon, based on praxis rather than theory.
