Anti-China/pro-Taiwan sentiment isn't exactly unique to the US. I think you're alluding to an incendiary tone with respect to how you say Americans express their views, but that doesn't seem to quite fit so I'm a little lost there.

I mean, clearly people can tell that you're American, so maybe it's time for some introspection?

You made an assumption and you've yet to expound on how you justified it beyond some vague assertion about American political discourse. Give me something to introspect on, then, for crying out loud.

Most countries that aren't America aren't inundated with anti-China rhetoric, so if someone starts spouting off about China (and especially Chinese civil rights, or uses the term "CCP") in English they're almost certainly an American.

Does China lag behind the west in terms of queer rights? Yes. We're critical of that but also recognize the grassroots initiatives within the CPC to change that, and support those efforts. Does China pollute more in raw numbers than America? Yeah, but they're also the global leader in green power production, so they're clearly working to fix the emissions problem, which we support. China also takes a non-imperialist stance internationally, which is far and away better than anything America has ever done internationally.

Didn't China literally just host the Gay Games?

This is Australia erasure.
