mike carey Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 7 hours ago, Pensant said: I thought China was Albania’s great friend after the rupture with the Warsaw Pact. It was, after Albania's departure from the pact in 1968. They broke with China when China abandoned Marxism-Leninism and was no longer communist. That says more about Albania at that time than it does about China! We should perhaps leave it at that and not continue this strand of conversation!
