That makes sense. The people who are the most vocal about their support for China (online, anyway) tend to refuse to criticize China at all, even when it's deserved.
I am particularly disgusted with the US and our monstrous actions everywhere so I'm sure I'm at least a little biased about this. Comparing Chinese and American imperialism in the current year will inevitably feel like downplaying American atrocities to a lot of people. It feels like my government is a serial killer.
