The same sort of skepticism comes up whenever someone mentions new Chinese technical innovations or the fact that China now leads the world in published scientific studies- it is either stolen from the West or the quality of output is low so they must be gaming the system somehow. They can not comprehend a world where American superiority can be challenged without deceit.
I have a close friend who is so adamant in their anti-China rhetoric. Their eyes get all intense whenever they talk about it. They've told me on multiple occasions how dogshit Chinese academics are and how dogmatic and repetition-focused their approaches are and how it doesn't let them think critically. This is, presumably, opposed to Americans who can think critically about things that are good and well established theory because they're illiterate and don't bother to read established theory.

It unfortunately is literally just racism. Asians as interchangeable insectoid hivemind incapable of creativity whose individual lives have no value vs. the pure beautiful brilliant whites, each soul a precious pearl of unquantifiable value. You see this archetype everywhere once you know it. It is also objectively total bullshit as anybody who knows anything about, say, Shenzhen can attest.
Which should be pretty easy to square simply by observing the people and country around you.
