Take a look at my nick. Yes, that's a Chinese name. Are we doing the Jewish antisemitism thing?
As an Asian: I have never once met a single other Asian who thinks the pooh meme is racist. Even the Chinese pro-CCP crowd understands it's targeting Xinnie specifically. I've only ever heard the 'racist' take from white folks defending Xinnie. Thanks for your concern guys, but there's really no need.
Ah, so you are in fact the one who believes that having a Chinese ethnicity makes you entitled to speak on behalf of people in China, I guess. You were just racist and projecting.
In fact if you read this they are alleging that China is also extraditing foreigners who commit crimes in China and flee, not going after everyone of Chinese ethnicity. It is the FBI and other NATO intelligence community members who are criminalizing having family ties in China while working in academia. (It's pretty hilarious to watch rightoids brain drain themselves, I might add! But it's fucked-up what's being done to peaceful academics with kids.)
It's practically a running joke at this point that the CIA and "protestors" and "concerned citizens" (like you) rally around rapists and murderers and white collar criminals. This was infamous behavior of Hong Kongers too, rallying around some idiotic rich cracker who went Patrick Bateman on his girlfriend (thinking laws didn't apply to him overseas).

Please point to where I claimed to be able to speak for Chinese citizens everywhere. As per my comment, I was discussing my personal experiences, and the viewpoints of Asian people I've personally known or interacted with. Which, given I'm a Chinese living in Asia, is counted in the thousands.
I'm not American, so I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your whataboutism comment.
No argument, so you report. That's an admission of fault in itself.
Nobody called you American, idiot. See, there you go again. You're the expert China-watcher because you live in Asia and you're Chinese. Blow your mindless essentiallism and bootlicking out your ass. You're just another pathetic simp for Mike Pompeo.

It’s Hexbear, they’re all wumao or idiots. They’ll try to paint anything critical of China or it’s leadership as racismZ

I've also had folks try to debate whether I'm Chinese since I wasn't born in China. Fun times.
Jayzus.
Tsk Tsk. No religion in China, that'll get you on a list.
What list? The state sponsors religious celebrations, but surely you think they are Potemkin festivals. This sort of cold war bullshit is beneath any decent person.

Why is there so much poverty in Malaysia?
A friend of my girlfriend's family in Malaysia had a literal slave whose passport they confiscated. I remember being there last year and being utterly appalled. This house slave ran away a few months back.
Honestly, Xi would sort your mess of a country out, and no mistake.
Oh there's plenty that sucks about Malaysia, I fully agree. I've never claimed otherwise. In fact I've migrated OUT of Malaysia.
Are there any other whataboutisms you'd like to throw about?
I'm ashamed even one person fell for this.
