The politics of alien invasion and first contact stories are always a bit...weird. They're often, unconsciously, an allegory for immigration, and sometimes about colonization, and sometimes really they are just about aliens (Blindsight by Peter Watts is a great example of a book where aliens aren't an allegory for any human group).

The politics of The Three Body Problem are pretty complex, and Chinese politics don't fit into an American liberal-conservative dichotomy. It's absolutely a political book but I think there's a lot of room for nuance and debate there.

Agreed. I didn't finish the book (thus never read the sequels either), but there was a lot going on that had to do with Communism and Chinese politics that I would have had to admittedly make time to do research on if I wanted to even begin understanding the nuance of it.

People tend to have a habit of putting things in categories that align with or approximate something they experience in order to understand it. Sometimes, tha can be helpful, other times, it can be a very limiting way of reaching/attempting to reach an understanding.
