You're the only one who has brought up race and are speculating what mine must be. I'm not the racist one in this conversation and I'm not the reddit-y one either. I'm not a refugee, I left that shitty site years ago bot.

    Then you should know how federation works. And yes, believing that only the opinion of white westerners counts makes you racist as hell.

    There are non-white people who don't like China because of their aggression and obvious leanings towards imperialism. I've got friends and family all over Eastern Asia and their countries are constantly getting into territorial spats with China, including in Japan, the Philippines, and even communist Vietnam, not to Taiwan.

    You guys just love China because they represent an alternative to the western US order. Maybe if they nationalized more industries, taxed their rich more, helped their workers with universal health care, and helped their oppressed neighbors instead of shooting at them and trying to take their territory, they would be more exciting to root for. Basically, if they were more like Cuba.

    Sure, their are non white people with criticisms of China, but his attitude went well beyond that; saying "the vast majority opinion" on China is the reddit propaganda line is absolutely discounting the opinion of non westerners, and I'm sorry, but that definitely comes from a place of racism.

    Like, I don't 'love' China, and I agree that much of their appeal is that they're an alternative to Western hegemony. It would be great if they were more like Cuba. But I think there's a world of difference between misgivings like that, and the liberal view that China is so evil that anyone who says anything good about them is a paid bot.
