Xi Jinping is also a dictator.
I was gaming with friends on Discord when the topic of China passingly came up and one guy started going off about how China and Russia are both socially backward authoritarian dictatorships and how China is communist in name only, oppresses its minority groups and no true socialist should support them.

Anyway, they’re also pro-NATO
The issue with this is that libs will say “Han” is analogous to “White” in that there’s tonnes of ethnicities within “White” but that doesn’t stop someone being a white supremacist. It’s an argument I have seen from the libs that are less stupid but still buried waist deep in the anti china propaganda.
The key difference being that historically whites spent a whole bunch of time and resources trying to gatekeep whiteness whereas China spent a lot of time and resources trying to sinicize people into “Han” status.
If they hit me with this argument I just point to the one child policy and ask for examples of white supremacist countries passing laws limiting white births.
Uhhhh literally every single day in europe I hear people talk about how those damn migrants need to
assimilateintegrate into our society lol. 2 faced pieces of shit literally all engage in that.Translation: speak our language but only when spoken to.
A lot of supposed sensible middle class Europeans have a weird conception about multiculturalism, where they genuinely believe that people who migrate to their countries (or come as refugees) should immediately bow down to the superiority of “European culture”, and begin dressing, speaking and acting exactly like majority. I know personally that a lot of the good, decent people I grew up around abhor racism (in the sense that they dislike the overtly fascist parties, of which we have far too many) while still spouting all the same right wing talking points as the far right. They will celebrate in public when the völkish fascist party have their worst election results ever, while ignoring that pretty much every party outside of the fringe left have completely adopted their policies.
