It's such a weird combination to believe the anti-China propaganda while claiming to be anti-authoritarian or "woke" or a "free thinker." People who do at least some critical thinking about obvious US empire evil like the persecution of Assange, kids in cages, or Guantanamo will regurgitate party line garbage about Uyghurs or "draconian lockdowns" without blinking an eye. It's not as if you can't communicate openly with people who live in China -- lots of American ex-pats are there, not to mention Chinese citizens who are happy to talk about what their lives are like. But people can't be bothered, they just go along with the racist, xenophobic assumptions they've had hammered into their brains all their lives. And please don't even get me started about North Korea. We killed 1 out of every 10 people and flattened all their cities within living memory, but they must hate us because they're all brainwashed worshippers of an evil tyrant. Sigh.
