I feel the same about China, they focus on its negatives. Not that they are technically lying about China though. It’s hard to defend China, just like it’s hard to defend the US

stop creating hostile environment for China before criticizing China for trying its best to defend itself. what would you do when someone is raping you, try to reason politely?

But they have been lying about China, almost daily.

Extending my previous theme, when did you hear the Chinese PPP passed the US in 2014!? As reported in the Economist. Now their PPP is 25% greater than the US. Where did you read that?

You want direct lying? Genocide of the Uighurs is a good place to start. So flagrant they had to change the definition of genocide to suit themselves. Then they could not prove that either.

Sure the Chinese aren’t choir boys and they surely have been heavy handed at times. But at least the sanctimony is tolerable.
