It’s probably because these threads always devolve into Chinese “people” bashing.

Israel is doing some horrible things as well, but the conversation around it is much more muted and balanced. A US politician was even rebuked for talking about “Israeli political influence” but would have been praised if she warned about “Chinese influence.”

Israel is actually constantly debated on US news. Yet Israel doesn't indoctrinate Palestinians in giant reeducation camps, doesn't control their speech, and doesn't arrest family for doings of family members, nor punishes for having faith in Islam. China is a mindless, heartless machine. Comparisons to Israel are silly.
