Your conflation of something being Chinese with something being bad is xenophobic regardless of whether you want to pretend you can redefine it to mean something it doesn't.

I never did that. You projected that, and just now, lied about it.

No, it can be understood from how you use the terms. You are adding "Chinese" as a bit of negative spice to your false claim that I am lying or spreading false propaganda. When challenged on this, you attempted to (incorrectly, this is not how language works) redefine "Chinese" to mean "CCP" and, per the typical crypto-sinophobic incantation, not the Chinese people. You then continued to interchangeably use Chinese and CCP as negative epithets.

Your attempt at redefinition actually just dug a new hole. You could just say, "oh wow I don't mean to suggest that, I will stop" instead of doubling down on treating Chinese like an insult.
