I feel like it’s a “I didn’t move left, the narrative just moved to the right” situation. I neither stan nor demonize China. Like, yeah, I’m sure there’s civil rights violations going on there but that happens in all states, just in different flavors. So the extent of the criticism from the West feels outsized, especially when you observe that the China Man Bad media narrative just happened to ramp up right after China started restricting foreign entities from owning capital in China.
