        It’s so fucking funny yet nonsensical and pathetic. I have always seen this accusation of “racism” when criticising CCP. CCP trolls have taken a page from Israeli government’s successful co-opting of “antisemitism”. Although CCP’s attempt to weaponise “racism” falls flat when you point out that the criticism is railed on pissing off South East Asia and Taiwan by trying to claim an entire body of ocean and wanting to annex a democratic society. So nothing is racist here. The “racism” angle is founded on weak grounds. Maybe this works on Chinese domestic audience? Russian trolls are cleverer with their psychological subversive tactics.

        Disregarding the Chinese opinion of the Chinese government from a western standpoint is kinda racist yeah, it’s removing agency from Chinese people.

          Having a different opinion than the Chinese people is neither racism nor removing agency from the Chinese people. Where did this logic even come from? It’s not like he’s criticising the Chinese race by disagreeing with their opinion. Me not liking your favourite food does not relate to your race nor your agency to like the food, so why should it for opinions on goverments?

        McCarthyists unironically believe this.

        Part of the problem with vilifying a culture for nearly a century is that your audience will eventually lose the ability to distinguish between the individual and the stereotype.

        That’s how we got Japanese Internment in the 1940s. That’s a big reason for the anti-Venezuela hysteria in the modern day.

      Ah yes: a Chinese person expressing distaste towards their country’s authoritarian government is racist. Makes total sense.

        They’re not racist. They’re sinophobic /sarcasm

        And being pro-ukraine is russophobia, don’t forget that /s

        And being anti-Trump is ‘Trump derrangement syndrome’ /s
