I'm not a tankie and have no love for the government of China (or any government) but there is an extent to which criticism of China is deployed by xenophobes and nazis as a kind of socially acceptable rallying call or dog whistle. So, I'm all for criticizing China, but remember the allegory of the crustpunk bar

I've always loved this allegory, but it can be applied to redfash as much as it can to xenophobes.
Thank you for posting that link, it was a good story.
To me the key is, is the person upset about other imperialist powers in the world?
If they hate the CCP but never seem to criticize the US or Russia*, I have my doubts about their motivations.
*the russia one is less effective a gauge since the war started though. It's now much more vogue to be anti-russia.
The CCP is literally rounding people up, putting them in camps, harvesting their organs, and working them to death. Wouldn't they be the nazi in that story?
I'm referring to literal nazis, it's not a figure of speech.
