Didn't China at least have a lot more of a commitment and unity of purpose with Albania than the US does Kosovo?
Under Mao, China was the only friend of Albania, they had bases in Albania and would defend them from a Soviet, Yugoslav or Greek invasion. Then during the 1970's Albania broke relations with China and started funding their own hoxhaist parties all over the world.
