kinda weird the amount of hate the CCP gets on this app I’ll talk more about this when I get back home from China but basically I think it’s extremely optimistic to have this much fear/hate for a countries govt and to not think that any of that spills over onto Chinese(or Asian) people

I think a better argument would be to take concession to the fact that there’s a lot of things that the CCP is doing which is negatively impacting democracy and its surrounding neighbors, but highlight that the CCP doesn’t necessarily represent China or Chinese culture as a whole. (continued)
