Would you describe China attacking North Korea or Cambodia or another SE Asian dictatorship to depose their leadership as “accidentally doing something right”?
The how does matter. You can appreciate the removal of a despot and still oppose unilateral regime change by force–especially one so explicitly motivated by resource exploitation. This is very different from the UN-sanctioned and NATO-led intervention that deposed Gaddafi.
I completely agree with you on all of those points. The present Venezuela invasion is totally heinous in my book.
Acting like Xi invading North Korea is the same thing as VZ is where I totally disagree with you.
Assuming the Chinese were to make a modicum of effort to prevent mass famine, I see the possible humanitarian boon as outweighing the international-relations consequences. Or to frame it differently, the crimes against humanity that North Korea has committed give China a valid casus belli.

Yes absolutely
People dragging you for supporting the fall of North Korea is some unhinged tankie shit.
Stay sane; ignore the .ml brigade.
“Anyone who doesn’t agree with me is a tankie”
That’s a truly bad-faith take.
My stance is that anyone who supports the sovereignty of the Kim Jong Un regime is a tankie.

I would call it intentionally right, Xi should take out the Kim family
And get rid of the buffer to a democracy in their own backyard? Yea, Xi is gonna get right on that.
