I don't have a problem with Chinese citizens, but I'm not a fan of the Chinese government for that reason among many others. That seems pretty levelheaded.
Yep, unless they support the genocide, I have no reason to hate them. Their government can eat shit though.
This is going to be a mix of people who are racist and people who dislike the Chinese government because it's trash.
Our government is also trash. I know.

I can criticize my government.
Regardless-This is about the CCP-which I'm sure most people are against. Chinese people? Awesome people. American Government? A shit show.
I have the right to criticize my government which I do on a regular basis.
MSG is still demonized in this country because of its chinese relation, it's a fucking spice. At the end of the day its about how china rivals us with competition and hard work and americans see that as a threat to them and refuse to try and compete and demand that they gimp themselves so they aren't competition. You can go to wikipedia and other sources and read about how chinese people were targeted when they came to america, it's really disgusting. Just a bunch of white power bullshit mixed with delusions of being the chosen ones.
Yeah you can, but the consequences of opposing imperial beielifs are evident.. Look at all the people who have been labled anti semites for dare supporting the rights of palestinians. Peoples lives ruined for having an opinion. They don't care about your critisism when they can swat you like a fly by labeling you.

I think most people have no problem with the Chinese people themselves. It's the government that is the problem. They are not our friends or allies. They have made no secret of that. That's not even getting into the various human rights issues and the level of surveillance they administer to their own people.
It's made the average person look at the country as a whole with suspicion and mistrust.

It's an incredibly lazy criticism.
It's akin to arguing that protestors at college campuses right now are anti-semitic, when they're really protesting Israel's war.
It's not the people. It's the government.
And it's tasty as hell. I've got a container of Ajinomoto MSG in the pantry.
So you proved his point. People say the worst stuff about their own government here and there's zero prosecution for the speech itself unless it's within the narrow bands of unprotected speech such as credible threats.
It's not too surprising. There are plenty of valid reasons to dislike the Chinese government, although certainly some of that is racist nonsense.
The sentiment in China is similar via a vis the opinion of the US.

How Do the Chinese People View the “West”? Divergence and Asymmetry in
considering how china is trying to project power around their waters i wouldn't blame them. many wouldn't be able to stop china from blockading them from their territorial waters either. right now you also have the problem of chinese commercial fishermen exploiting the waters surrounding them as well. over fishing might cause a lot of ecological damage to their waters.yeah
I'm surprised to such support in countries with large Muslim populations, considering the horrors that China is inflicting on the Uyghurs.yeah
Whether people of other nations see a direct threat from China significantly impacts their image of the Chinese government. And, China's oppression of Muslims at home has not been widely reported outside of all Western spheres of influence. Even the West is only more familiar with the situation of the Uyghurs and is not aware of what life is like for China's largest group of Muslims, the Hui. People of the same faith or race don't always have unconditional unity.
China has offered massive financial support to Muslim countries and regimes that have a strong unfavorable attitude toward the United States, its alliance, and India. China was the first major country to make economic deals with the Taliban after the US withdrew from Afghanistan and they portrayed the Taliban as lovely goofy freedom fighters in propaganda to Chinese citizens.

This has gotta be out of date. I've swear I've seen more negative numbers out of The Philippines and Thailand.yeah
I'm surprised that the South Korea bar actually has blue in it.yeah
The Chinese government has done itself no favors in this regard. Then again, it is not like they are trying to change minds.
China has imperial ambitions and wants to usurp the US. It's not a surprise.
The various dynamics across SEA are all really interesting at the moment and changing constantly. Some countries want to keep their heads down more than others.
Yeah the Phillipines took a hard turn in the last few years when it became clear that appeasement was never going to work.

I think like a lot of people mask their racism and Sinophobia with "hatred of the CCP".
For example, does anyone really think any conservative gives two shits about the persecution of Muslims? I'm not that gullible.
You would be surprised how little of a damn people give for human life.
The reason will vary depending on where you are on the political spectrum but yeah, there's not many reasons to be pro-China. While I generally welcome the world re-balancing away from US-led hegemonic dominance, I can't say I'm enthused that the biggest country acting as a check is an authoritarian, imperialistic, genocidal surveillance state.
Yes I do, especially in Congress. There are a number of Republicans who have been critical of Chinese prosecution of Muslims in China.
I don't think being labeled an anti-semite by a private citizen is comparable to being disappeared by an authoritarian state for running a blog.
Of course they don't care about the persecution of Muslims. That's why so many US politicians are hypocrites. Blinken talks about China, genocide and how China supplies Russia with equipment and materials, yet they support Israel with weapons and money with the war on Gaza. Children and women are being killed, phosphorus being used. Have the US condemned Israel? What about the US ceasefire veto, not once but multiple times? How long have the US waited before they are offering help to the Palestinians? How many middle eastern countries have the US bombed to smitereens? They don't care about the Muslims/Uyghurs, but it's more anti-China rhetoric, so that's good in their books.
Right, but I'm questioning their motives behind it. They are anti-China, not anti-persecution of Muslims.
Basically this.
