Best chinese translated resources?
I was listening to an ep of the Deprogram where they talk about how in China, many people have translated Hakim and Yugopnik’s videos into Chinese to understand Marxist discourse from around the world. I’m a lil jealous because they said it doesn’t happen much the other way around, most Chinese resources are not translated into English. I would like to learn more about Chinese resources on Marxism and modern Chinese takes on anti-Imperialism, I tried looking up Chinese sources and surprise surprise, it’s in Chinese and is not really translated well, barely intelligible in the translation I found. I’ll find the link if I still can. TL;DR Where to find good translations of Chinese resources on Marxism?

Here's a quarterly magazine of essay collections, the translation of which is done in collaboration with the Tricontinental Institute. Might not be all about Marxism but they are:
Among these essays, you might find some recent trends and thoughts among Chinese intelligentsia on socialism and western imperialism, among other things.
The current volume (#2) headings are:
Damm, I’m gonna need to read Governance of China eventually but it’s so long😭
That's only volume one of four.

It usually won't be like super in depth theory that they post but you'll get new policies and things like that for example The Law on Foreign Relations
This is a great one, their opinion section is very well-informed. I’m reading an op-ed about Drug abuse in the US and how the US scapegoats China and others for its own drug problems. I can’t say I’m surprised but I didn’t know about that, considering how big Drug problems are in the US already, I figured it would be a hard sell to blame others for our issues (which Reagan himself added to plenty by smuggling in crack to majority black neighborhoods)
On the topic of the US, here is a collection of relevant reports from official Chinese sources, including the drug abuse problem you mentioned: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/559922

Whoa, this is a treasure trove! Great info, I’m gonna spend like all day reading this thanks
Roland Boer's SWCC, a guide for foreigners is good
Ooh! I’ve only heard a few Boer videos/podcast guest spots but I was very impressed by his nuance in his takes, he is one of the few people that I hear actually talking about the positives of Deng Xiaoping and his theory, which is a nice change of pace from hearing Maoists complain about Modern day China
I would actually recommend you to use (chat)GPT to translate Chinese language resources. If you want to find resources on, say, how to maintain the dictatorship of the proletariat, you can ask ChatGPT for a search query in Chinese regarding this subject. Then, you can go to Baidu.com and search for it and find a source. Then ask ChatGPT to translate it for you.
I remember hakim mentioning swcc lectures
Just out of curiosity, where can I find thoses chinese translations of hakim and yugopnik's videos?
