You do realize the Chinese government is not just content with keeping to itself and has repeatedly trying to impose [0] its [1] values [2] on the west too, right? You could argue the west has been doing the same with China, but I'd say the Chinese government has been pretty effective at keeping the "good bits" of westernization and tossing out anything that clashes with its ideology.

Sinophobia should be completely out of the question, I agree, and some people will be blinded by rage and that's truly unfortunate as I, too, want Asian hatred to stop, but people should be rightfully upset with the CCP. The treatment towards Uyghurs has been appalling, and so the rest of the world is taking notice. Any programs that supposedly exist to help them will be seen as whitewashing. It's within our rights to condemn such treatment... for now.
