    Yeah they confuse criticizing China with racism against Chinese people. Additionally they claim that any source from and news agency or journalists in the US that says anything bad about the USSR or China is CIA propaganda and should be ignored but then exclusively site Chinese propaganda websites.

    There’s also a lot of other evidence: https://raddle.me/f/lobby/159606/-/comment/294792

      They say the same nonsense when Australian media also rightly criticizes them so it’s not just a US issue. Just look at the way they tried to strong-arm Australia when they were called out a few years ago, they tried cutting off a range of imports to try economic pressure (which didn’t work since plenty of other places will happily take wine, meat and product imports)

        It was a great thing for Australia after some short-term pain, exporters saw how exposed they were to a single market and started to put effort into diversifying.
