I feel that maybe you’re reading my question as ‘critique of China is inherently support for the west/US/etc’ which I absolutely do not mean. I think that it’s possible that painting all critique with a broad ‘xenophobia’ brush (while undoubtedly warranted at times) can prevent discussion in good faith.
I am asking this in full earnestness: is any critique of the Chinese government assumed to be rooted in xenophobia?

If this is the thinking I can expect on this instance, perhaps this is not the instance for me.
