Sure, their are non white people with criticisms of China, but his attitude went well beyond that; saying "the vast majority opinion" on China is the reddit propaganda line is absolutely discounting the opinion of non westerners, and I'm sorry, but that definitely comes from a place of racism.

Like, I don't 'love' China, and I agree that much of their appeal is that they're an alternative to Western hegemony. It would be great if they were more like Cuba. But I think there's a world of difference between misgivings like that, and the liberal view that China is so evil that anyone who says anything good about them is a paid bot.
