Racism mostly. Easier to just be racist against the Chinese than to admit COVID is the result of something more nuanced and systemic

    Nobody has a problem with Chinese people.

    But the CCP needs to be given the Beria treatment.

    “We don’t hate the Chinese just the government that they like and has made their people prosperous.”

    Check what happened to the Russians after the Soviet Union fell and tell me it’s not hate to wish that on the Chinese next.

    The USSR (Stalin mostly) broke the Russian people, which is why they're so weak after its fall.

    The CCP broke the Chinese people too. Seems like a common theme.

    What does it mean to "break" a people?

    The Chinese people were certainly already "broken" in 1949. They had undergone a century of collapse, most were illiterate, women were essentially chattel, and every single grain of wheat or rice more than what was required to keep them alive was stolen by unelected landlords.

    The communists took power and every single one of them was taught to read, women were enfranchised, no-fault divorce and abortion were legalized, political rights were expanded, opium and gangs were chased out of the mainland and the feudal lords were held to account.

    30 years after the revolution they had turned a society of feudal peasants into a nuclear power, 30 years after that and it's the world's largest economy by PPP.

    The same things can be said about the Bolsheviks, who defeated a nazi army which sought to annihilate them.

    And by every major polling organizations metrics the Chinese people overwhelmingly approve of the CPC.

    Typical westoid wants to destroy a government that is liked by it's people. What's your countries government approval rating? Do you want to overthrow your government too?

    I worked there for a good while.

    They don't hate it, they treat it like the weather, something to fear, but nothing you can do anything about.

    The CCP broke them completely, much like the USSR broke the Russian people.
