  Criticizing a refund 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.

        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.

  This is no different from calling critics of Israel antisemites even though plenty of us Jews do it too.

  There are a huge number of Chinese people not living in China who are very open about their contempt for Xi’s regime.
