    That’s racist and orientalist af. A people and their government are never equated. They’re always separate things. That’s literally sinophobia. Will you tell us that PRC citizens overseas are equal to their government as well, justifying their repression overseas?

      How is that racist at all? The comment wasn’t making it out to be a negative thing, or saying that Chinese citizens were somehow wrong by supporting the CCP. I just fail to see how it is racist to point out the fact that the CCP has supporters in China. Seems obvious.

        You said they can’t be separated. If they can’t be separated, then functionally they’re the same thing, hence you very much did equate them.

        But I think maybe English is not your first language, so maybe you can be forgiven for using the language sloppily. If you know what I mean.
