I'm not sure how identifying bad actors in the world is racist but I appreciate how that card is easily played in scenarios people can't comprehend or appreciate.

No, its because its a very broad generalization of China as a whole, if you said specifically the Chinese government or something I think thats relatively fine. Saying China as a whole perpetuates racism against normal Chinese people. Its pretty astounding how you dont see this could be racist. Its also because you say its subverting your ways of thinking when its just another culture. Its not like Chinas trying to brainwash you? Its also very hypocritical when the US has gone to other countries and bombed the shit out of civilians. Also most of the time a Chinese company produces something thats dog ass its because whoever asked them to make it wanted it as cheap as possible, if people asked for nice stuff they would get it, but thats not why companies go to China.

You're spot on, my thought process was in fact the corrupt government. I wont edit my original comment, as I appreciate you correcting my comment logic.

Labeling a country and everyone from there as evil is textbook racism. Not all Chinese people support everything their government does. That would be like saying America is a bad actor because they do regime change and beat up people when they protest police brutality. America does those things but you'd probably be offended if someone said you were evil because you're American

Ya, you were just being jingoistic. Not everything is racism, some is just ignorant nationalism.

Hey I learned a new word. I wouldn't call myself extremely patriotic by any stretch. I think my own government is a façade.
