Ah thank you for prefacing it with this. We can't even appear too not look down on and condemn China.
Thank you for first bashing China with a club, then offering them a lollipop. It's truly morally outstanding of you.
The very essence of US imperialist power, the "American Exceptionalism" and inherent superiority of our values must never be questioned. We might be a bully, but it's just a phase currently and soon we will return to our way of benevolence interventionism.

We look down on all autocratic imperialist regimes equally around here. Fuck the USA, and fuck China.
That's not true though, nobody would preface some good comment by an USA functionary like Bernie Sanders with "As much as I dislike the USA autocratic imperialist regime, if they are right they are right".
The racism is also implicit in viewing the response of the Chinese US embassy as an expression of a uniform Chinese sentiment, denying that the 1 billion people in China have different or individual thoughts. Everything any Chinese says is suspect.
So fuck you, fuck reddit, fuck lemmy and all the morons and lying hypocrites ;)
"You can't treat the Chinese government's opinion as universal to all Chinese people"
"Everyone on Reddit and Lemmy are morons and lying hypocrites."
Alright, buddy. Perhaps turn that hatred of hypocrisy inward before you embarrass yourself further.
But considering how many straw men you had to build and how many contradictory blanket statements you had to make just to make that post, I suspect that would be too much to ask.
I'm not American, I'm a German living in South Korea, married to a Chinese Korean.
No personal offense meant. Since you have "many yellow friends" I'll let it slide ;)
But the ideological framing in Germany and South Korea is especially US centric because of their history.
