The difficulty with this alleged "clarity" is there is no single entity called "the Chinese government" either.

Calling anyone who you think looks Chinese, Chinese.

The wumao and supporters of the CCP have been pushing this racism nonsense for a while now to try to divert criticism against the CCP. It’s unfortunately very common.

Calling out casual bigotry does not equate to sticking up for dictators.

On the other hand, calling racism "nonsense", in any context, that's some Oswald Mosley shit.

I have seen people doing this and it's deeply annoying to reframe criticism of the CCP as racism. Not everything is about race. I'm deeply annoyed by how much race is becoming a thing in general - that seems like it's going to end up being counterproductive to ending racism. I'm not going to go so far as to say it's purposeful by the CCP. But it could be.

Too often it seems like the more precision matters, the easier it is to choose the wrong word.

In this context IMHO the choice of words matters quite a bit. I do my best to never write “China” if I’m in fact referring to the entity commonly identified as “CCP”.

(I understood OP’s point though, probably because I used to make the same mistake—perhaps still inadvertently do with some other countries.)

It is no better an assumption than assuming the OP is a man.

Again with the false equivalence. You're just doubling down on being wrong. I'm out of this conversation.

I’m doubling down on identifying the fundamental category error of all casual bigotry, so this was a useful and interesting conversation for me.
