I’m pleased for the Chinese people, my response is more facetious due to the whole “bad guy China” narrative that keeps being pushed, and then you look at some of the protections they have and you wonder “why doesn’t this happen here”. So it’s certainly not dissing China, and much more a remark on my own country’s failings.
Part of the “western experience” is having a boogeyman. China is the current one. It’s not necessarily racist, it’s just they need an “other” to compare themselves to. But yes, it sure is pathetic and only idiots believe it

The whole “bad guy china” thing is so cringe and borderline if not racist at this point.
