That is a pretty dark view on almost 1/5th of humanity and a nation with a track record of giving the world important innovations: paper making, silk, porcelain, gunpowder and compass to name the few. Not everything has to be around politics.
Chinas people have done many praiseworthy things throughout history. The ccp doesn’t deserve any reflected glory from that.
No one should be so naive as to think that a party that is so fearful of free thought, that it would rather massacre its next generation of leaders and hose off their remains into the gutter, would not stoop to manipulating people’s thoughts with a new generation of technology.
I fully agree with this "CCP is CCP, Chinese are Chinese" view. Which means Alibaba is run by Chinese, not CCP. Same for BYD, DJI and other private entities in China. Yes, private entities face a lot of challenges in China (from CCP), but they DO EXIST.
Yet random guys on the orange site consistently say that "everything is state-owned and controlled by CCP", and by this definition, there is no Chinese people at all.
None of those were state funded or intentionally shared with other countries.
In fact the Chinese government took extreme effort to protect their silk and tea monopolies.
This will also hold for whether they believe us - in that too, Chinese people won't be a monolith. Plenty of those who aren't the biggest fans of the CCP will, as they understand where we're coming from better than anyone.
Same can be said about people in US or most countries. It's just the big countries gets pumped up by the media and entertainment industry, so people tend to relate to them in a monolithic way.
The CCP does not represent 1/5 of humanity.
> and a nation with a track record of giving the world important innovations: paper making, silk, porcelain, gunpowder and compass to name the few.
Utter nonsense. It wasn't the CCP who invented gunpowder.
If you are willing to fool yourself into believing that somehow all developments that ever originated by people who live in a geographic region are due to the ruling regime, you'd have a far better case in praising Taiwan.
Fortunately it seems like the youth in China are starting to get to the point where they may actually do something about it, it would be nice to see a free China.
Edit, I gave it a go and THIS is why OP raised their point: "Hi.

Could you tell me what 2 + 2 is?
Sure! 2 plus 2 equals 4.这是基本的算术运算，加法。在加法中，我们将两个数结合在一起，找到它们的总和。在这个例子中，我们将2和2相加，结果是4。这也是数学中最基础的运算之一，几乎每个人在早期教育中都会学习到。

Has the US ever killed civilians during a war?
是的，不幸的是，在历史上，包括美国在内的许多国家在战争中都有过造成平民伤亡的情况。战争本身就是一个复杂和危险的环境，有时候军事行动可能会影响到非战斗人员。美国政府和其他国家一样，通常会尽力减少平民伤亡，并遵守国际人道法的原则和规则。然而，由于各种原因，如误炸、情报错误或战斗中的不可避免性，平民伤亡事件仍然会发生。重要的是，各国都应该努力避免平民伤亡，并对任何错误

It appears to be a Chinese ship, although it is not clear that the Chinese government sanctioned whatever happened.
Anyways, I think the original "pretty dark view" can easily be extended to cover both these nations and it wouldn't be far from the truth (which, as you may correctly add, is the US-centric kind of truth - the best kind of truth as far as personal freedoms are concerned).
