I'm not even saying whether or not China is good or bad, personally I think there are issues with China's government but overall it's better than the US. I agree that pushing obvious western propaganda against China is sinophobic but in a space of leftists should we not question if a government is truly communist or not? I'm sure there are comrades in China who are further left than the current government and disagree with the rate of reform in the country. I think discourse on the issue is healthy because adherence to either a fully China good or China bad take will either push imperialistic American goals or erase the struggle of marginalized comrades in China who feel there is still important change to be made in the country.
