You’re never going to convert sinophobes. It’s like trying to convert white supremacists, except even more unlikely to work since there is zero pressure to not be sinophobic in society.
Criticizing a “regime” run by democracy, both direct and representative, is criticizing the people. It’s also criticizing a race, in this case, as you people never evolved past the “sneaky Chinaman” stereotype in your criticisms.
The implication of what they’re saying is that the Chinese government’s actions generally represent the will of the Chinese people so you can’t just separate them like you can with America.
Do you agree with this implication or did you just explain it to me? Because I would never equate the actions of the government of a nation state with the people who happen to live there

Criticizing a regime isn’t racism against the people living under that regime.
The people control that regime in a much more robust democracy than the US has.
This has nothing to do with what I was saying. Try again.

No, again, it’s not. Once elected the government can go against the people’s will. Try again.
So because you assume China to be a democracy, other people are racist for criticizing the government?
Let’s agree that both are bad. What is your goal with this whataboutism?

I would if the people overwhelmingly support that action, yes.
Well, do they ever?
Yes, hence why the CPC has overwhelming support. When they don’t do what the people want, you get protests and elected officials getting unelected.
Imagine knowing what words mean.
At this point I should ask for a delicious cookie recipe…
