Standard practice anywhere you have... people, most are perfectly reasonable but many are deeply indoctrinated nationalists.

Just a cursory reading of the comments in any topic about China will show you that their western counterparts are alive and kicking here

Bullshit.

Shit like this is almost exclusively a Chinese activity https://www.propublica.org/article/purdue-president-condemns...

You can find countless examples of groups of Chinese people engaging in downright horrible behavior like this, good luck finding many western counterparts.

Where are the western nationalists SWATting families of people who dare to say critical things of their governments?

Nobody will send the secret police to harass my family if I dare to criticize my government, but if I was Chinese they certainly would.

I’m sure it would be possible to indoctrinate westerners to behave in a similar way, but the fact remains that currently it’s the Chinese who are uniquely indoctrinated.

I dont know if you are being naive or a troll. In any case, for the benefit of other people reading this thread:

This is bad. But the fact that you can post links to articles written by journalists here is proof enough that this was not okay and unacceptable.

Do you have articles about similar things happening in China by Chinese media?

The first article is from Wikipedia so you are being highly disingenuous. The second thing is that it is pretty much okay and acceptable since this has never stopped. You seem to believe that if the US does something wrong and it is reported then everything is fine in the world, well, no. This guy went to jail for revealing that the drone attacks were ineffective and amounted to criminal actions:

I can read about it, that does not make it even 0.0001% better.

Since you asked:

The problem with most westerners is that they just simply dont understand China. Just read this, relax, it is from Harvard, not from Xi's wumao army

The fact that you had to link to COINTELPRO is pretty revealing :)

Grasping at straws, no?

Tell that to all the people that got their lives ruined. How is the pay rate going on here?: https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/441480-ins...

I only get paid 50 cents by the yellow menace and I am not a rapper.
