This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Well, tbh, this is a relatively new topic for me, so I don't have a wide range of sources. I plan to slowly work through the sources cited in Boer's book.
Edgar Snow's Red Star Over China is a good book about the start of the revolution. Snow was a US journalist but all things considered, he gives a fair account.
And I've read some of the link in Dessalines' link-list, On Mao, Maoism, and Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, and the PRC.
And the Qiao Collective publishes some great videos: https://yewtu.be/channel/UCPi2i0AZTD2IkENqN3GAbsA. Their 'China and the Left' conference was especially enjoyable: https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=PLQFBO6UUfDCQoIxtdxX5dVRwl1kS9IhnV.
There's also the works of Mao, Deng, and Xi.
CGTN has some good stuff but its a bit of a chore to find the documentaries, etc: https://yewtu.be/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg/playlists.
News with Jingjing has some good videos: https://yewtu.be/channel/UCPvWHbIwTHbXX9Jo_Vephdg.
There are some good Chinese movies on YouTube. There's an old thread about some on here. I'll try to find it and share the link. It's really strange to watch movies where US soldiers aren't the heroes. You just get a completely different sense of perspective, which is required to fully understand China.
Edit: I'm unsure how good this is just there's a section of resources in China, here: https://www.prisoncensorship.info/archive/.
