    This is what bothers me the most. China has genuine problems, but all people are doing is putting up strawmen and attacking them. It makes conversation impossible and no one can see what China is actually doing. And in some ways that’s far more dangerous.

      This. Hard agree. How can we ever talk about China genuinely if all we do is calling their policies with strawmen and can’t actually discuss what their society and politics is about
