I agree that prejudice plays a role in the West's view of China, and I'd agree that while China doesn't have democracy, the government has done tremendous good for millions of people. But that being said, what's happening with the Uighur population and "reeducation camps" is beyond unacceptable. And for that alone, I think the current Chinese government deserves all the criticism it's receiving.
China would have the moral high ground to argue the merits of non-democratic political systems if it didn't engage in such human rights atrocities.
