The Chinese people are fine. You can see some great projects on GitHub for example. I hear Shenzen is something special.

The CCP is the problem, not the Chinese generally

The Chinese are a great people. I want them to succeed. I know many tremendous individuals from Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Its the CCP that is the problem. I will say this plainly: Freedom for Hong Kong. Freedom for Taiwan.

I think I said that clearly, but apologies if it came out that way.

Freedom for China would be nice too.

I have no way to make that distinction. By virtual of living under the CCP, the Chinese people are also implicated as unethical and untrustworthy.

You don't find classifying and treating a whole group of people the same... bigatory?

You don't think there are Chinese that want a different governance model for their country?

I don't have a choice. I never deal with individuals in China, only the country as a whole.

I know many Chinese are not happy with their government. However I cannot do anything to help them.

How do you not have a choice in how you view and treat others?

Generally inappropriate broad over generalization.

Like most people not in China, I never deal with individual people, just the country. I see nothing inappropriate about my generalization, please go into more detail so I can figure out what you are talking about.

You just painted 1B+ people with the same broad brush, on account of something that they likely had very little choice in. Unacceptable, really.
