The CCP and Chinese State Media is trying to equate criticism of them to criticism of the Chinese people. This is absolutely not what most Hong Kongers, or internet posters are pushing for but the propagandists like to draw that parallel so Mainland Chinese people seem to feel like they are personally being attacked.

I'm not trying to engage the guy personally, just making sure that his viewpoints don't become the something others read as the majority post in the thread since mods seem to be asleep or something. Do I post a response or should I leave disinformation alone for it to fester? Sometimes I don't really know.
