This is all fine and good until the Chinese government is leading China down a path of aggression abroad or to a genocide such as in Xinjiang.

As a German believe me if I tell you that being under a totalitarian regime can backfire pretty quickly. It took Hitler only 6 years. Putin took longer but hundreds of thousands are dead for just this year alone.

The Chinese lived (well, far from all did...) 27 years under Mao.

They know about murderous totalitarian regimes!

The Mao background may also mean they appreciate even minor progress more than us.
