Westerners fawning over Xi is just fucking embarrassing

And fawning over a billionaire who wanted to make even more money is not?

Since when do we feel sympathy for billionaires like Jack Ma? Why are people angry that the CCP did the right thing? America should had done the same with Elon Musk when he did the Sieg Heil in national TV, because he not only embarrassed the entire country, he put absolutely every single American in danger now, because foreign people like me now want to see the USA be removed from the global map because they pretty much screamed to the world that they are ok with a literal Nazi having that much power and influence over you. They should have kidnapped him and "reeducated" him, but no, instead, Elon is now reeducating millions of young men through Twitter. Turning them into violent toxic bigots. He is guiding them toward their graves; and here you are, still talking shit about China the same way Trump or Lindsey Graham or most MAGA politicians do. What the fuck? At least China is not being ran by a pedophile, and they don't have anything remotely close to a cult like MAGA. I haven't had a single negative interaction with the Chinese people I have replied to online; they are as polite as the Japanese, but a lot less xenophobic and elitist. With Japanese people or South Koreans, once they find out I am a Mexican, some of them start treating me like I am inferior, for some reason, they say things only an American hog would. Same with South Koreans, they have some Western influence on them, and it sucks. Most of the negative interactions I have had with Chinese is always over technical/academic stuff, like being bad in a videogame, or getting a line of code wrong, they are more harsh there, but rarely racism or identity attacks.

Jack Ma wasn't even reeducated, he was just forced into silence because he challenged the CCP by pretty much saying "your banks are clueless, your regulators are old men, and my technology is the future" during that Shanghai Finance Summit, whatever it was. I remember Jack Ma sharing some weird ideas with Elon Musk years ago, I won't say they are the same, but imagine if Elon Musk did something like that, implying he should become the head of the future. You'd want that? Wouldn't you wish your government stopped him too? Or what? Do you trust Elon Musk? Do you love him? Do you think he's sexy every time he speaks like a shy kid who just shat his pants?

It's so weird that that's the only thing leftists and republicans agree with with the same passion: Hating China. It used to be Russia too, but it only took a few weeks to change that. Don't you find that weird?

I wonder how will Americans ever deal with the increasing amount of racists and MAGAs that are breeding in their country without ever resorting to authoritative policies that will make them look worse than China. I want to believe a strong reason China is the way it is is because of the Opioid Crisis caused by the UK and India, and the genocide caused by Japan around 1930. The way people fawn over Japan but hate China makes that propagandized bias more obvious. And I have my own criticisms about China, I wouldn't want to live there, I still prefer Mexico, but god damn, when compared to the USA, I prefer China. Your marvel movies, TV shows and videogames like Fallout always depicted the Chinese and Russians as absolute evils, as malicious, always spying or planning something big in their heads to destroy you for the sake of it, for fun or money or power, I don't know, but that shit is still ingrained in you.

Btw, "just move to X country" shall never be a reply, ever. Everyone should know by now that, thanks to capitalism and the Jeffrey Epstein Class, about 80% of the entire world cannot afford to do something like that. It's always the cheapest and most ridiculous answer I see online, to avoid facing the fact that some governments are objectively better, less evil than others, even if they all suck.
