>westerners bullying China has been pounded by the CCP for the past 60 years so its very easy to troll that line to great success.
Actually it was 'trolled' long before the CCP came in to power by revolutionaries, and most likely citizens.
The history of China has been miserable for the past two centuries, culminated defeat in opium wars and wars with Japan has resulted in compensation with land and money. Several unsuccessful civil uprisings has also cost many lives and ruined the economy - many people in that time lived in poverty!
