OK if by "positive about China" you mean statements like "I like Chinese food" or "Chinese history is very interesting" then obviously this not an issue. I assumed support for the CCP and the broader Chinese political system was implicit in your concern about expressing something "positive about China". Otherwise I've no idea what the point you're making is.

Lord... That's such a simplistic black and white view of the world. You're either for us or you're against us. This is the toxic juvenile attitude that's so scary honestly.
One can express support for a particular action of their government, or try to share some common misconceptions about life in China without being a supporter of the whole system.

I think you're rather clearly attacking a strawman here. For you to speak of toxic juvenility for my apparent forbidding of praise for individual actions of governments, whereas I specifically used the term "broader ... political system"... it is rich because it feels like I'm talking to a teenager who thinks they're much cleverer than they really are just because they have an opinion. What you said simply doesn't make any sense in response to what I said, so I can't even begin to engage with it.
